254 Land Rental Crisis (1)


    It was almost the end of the year, and the young people who had gone out to work had returned one after another.


    Many young people returned earlier than in previous years.


    It was only because of the rental ofnd in the vige.


    The vigemittee was involved in the matter of rentingnd, but because of the vigers’ wishes, this matter was dyed until the end of the year. They would discuss it when the young people returned one after another.


    As such, the negotiations could only bepleted at the beginning of spring.


    Gu Qingming took her uncle’s method. She could rent 200 acres ofnd separately and use 50 acres as arge shed. She needed to hire someone to build fourrge sheds for 200 acres ofnd.


    This had to be done before spring. Otherwise, it would dy the spring seed.


    The 200 acres ofnd were not in the same vige but it was rtively simple to fix it.


    These vigers’nd was not all in one piece. Gu Qingming’s uncles chose a piece ofnd that was 1.5 acres as the center. The surrounding 50 acres ofnd could be rented.


    Basically, every family had some of these 50 acres ofnd. Some parcels were more than an acre ofnd like his uncles’, while the rest only had a couple of plots.


    This way, the vigers would not need to rent all thend to Gu Qingming and hence, they would have less resistance.


    In any case, there was not muchnd there. Renting it to the Shi family would not offend the Shi family. In the future, when the Shi family hired people to do odd jobs, they would definitely not be excluded. Simrly, they would continue to farm what they should.


    Hence, the matter of rentingnd suddenly went quite smoothly, not only in Stoneback Vige, but even the negotiations at the surrounding viges, Dazhu Vige, Zhangshu Vige, and Linshi Vige were rtively smooth!


    At the end of the year, nearing the Spring Festival, the matter of rentingnd was about to bepleted!


    “Mingming, these four viges have rented out a total of 246 acres ofnd. Our Stoneback Vige has 72 acres ofnd, Dazhi Vige has 61 acres, Zhangshu Vige has 52 acres, and Linshi Vige has 61 acres. These are the rental contracts. Take a look!” Shi Lichun handed a few contracts in ck and white to Gu Qingming.


    Shi Liqiu smiled and said, “Rentingnd is easier than we thought.”


    Shi Lidong nodded and said, “At the beginning, the vigers thought that we were renting all thend in each family, so they were naturally unwilling. However, now that we’re renting out the nearby fields, their thoughts have changed.”


    “Speaking of which, in the entire vige, only the families of Shi Bangqing, Shi Banghua, and Shi Bangjian are unwilling to rent thend to us,” Shi Liqiu said. “Their paddy field happens to be next to ournd.”


    The families of Shi Bangqing and Shi Banghua had some grudges against the Shi Family, so it was reasonable that they were unwilling to rent it.


    On the other hand, Shi Bangjian wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to ask for more rent. Oh, not just some, but a lot; he was even asking for an exorbitant price.


    Shi Bangqing and Shi Banghua’s farnd was slightly off to the side. If they did not want to rent it, so the Shi family just had to work around it.


    However, Shi Bangjian’s farnd was close to Eldest Uncle’s farnd.


    The original n was to use Eldest Uncle’s paddy field as the radiation center and merge the surroundingnd. Be it paddy fields or drnds, they would rent whatever they could.


    “We can bypass Shi Bangqing and Shi Banghua’snd and not rent it, but Shi Bangjian’snd is in the center. There’s no way to bypass it.” Speaking of this, Shi Yaoqing said angrily, “The most infuriating thing is that it’s not that he’s unwilling to rent it, but he’s asking for high rent. Can we give him this rent casually? What will others think?”


    Although she had handed the matter of rentingnd to her uncles and the vigemittee, Gu Qingming knew the progress. At the same time, she knew what had happened clearly.


    Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “It’s fine if he’s unwilling to rent it!”


    “Huh? How do we work around it?” Shi Yaoqing was a little confused. He continued to ask, “Are we not renting thend anymore?”


    Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “Previously, we used our own fields as the radiation center, but that’s not the only way.”


    When Shi Hangyu heard this, his eyes lit up. He asked, “Mingming, do you mean that we should adjust the entire radiation center of the rentednd and go past Shi Bangjian’snd?”


    Gu Qingming nodded and said, “That’s right. I’ve observed that ce. Extending to the west, there’s a small river. To the south, it’s mostly drynd. To the east and north, it’s mostly paddy fields, and it’s a high-grade fertilend. Therefore, we can set aside the west and south. What’s left is the east and north. I’ve observed thend owned by Shi Bangjian. Bypassing his family’snd, we can rent it to the north.”


    Eldest Uncle asked, “Why north?”


    “There’s a road that can be used by cars to the north. If it’s close, it’ll be easier for us to transport our produce!” Gu Qingming said. “Only if we rent this piece ofnd will it be much less troublesome when ites to transportation in the future. There won’t be a situation like Shi Bangjian.”


    When they heard this, they thought for a moment and said, “That’s true. Then let’s change our direction.”


    “But if that’s the case, wouldn’t we end up not renting thend we negotiated? Wouldn’t we have to return it?”


    “There’s no need. We’ll just bypass those three families,” Gu Qingming said. “At that time, they’ll nt theirnd, and we’ll nt ours. We’ll mind our own business. If something crops up, hehe, just wait and see.”


    Since these people could make things difficult for her on this matter, she was not a magnanimous person. At that time, it would depend on who was making things difficult for whom.
