Chapter 12

Ye Jinxiu had a basic understanding of paddy fields, wasteland fields, mountain fields, and mountainous areas, so she was a little surprised when she saw the 100 mu of wasteland fields.

"Miss Xiuxiu, there are a total of 100 mu of land from here to there. If you think it's acceptable, let's sign the contract immediately."

She could accept it, but she felt that she was at a disadvantage.

Most of the wasteland fields that the village chief pointed out to her were reclaimed mountain fields, which meant that although she was claiming wasteland fields on the surface, she was actually claiming mountain fields.

Her nouveau riche father had never taught her how to write the word "disadvantage".

Ye Jinxiu looked around the fields and after confirming that all the wasteland fields were fake, she turned and smiled at the village chief. "Uncle Village Chief, although I'm not good at farming, you can't trick me with mountain fields."

The village chief smiled and touched his forehead lovingly. "Miss Xiuxiu, these fields used to be mountain fields, but after reclaiming and composting, they are indeed wasteland fields now."

"That doesn't change the fact that they used to be mountain fields."

Ye Jinxiu refused to budge, and the atmosphere was in a stalemate.

"Uncle Village Chief, we agreed on 200 RMB for 100 mu of wasteland fields for a year. I can keep the price, but can you write down the pond?"

The village chief had already reported it to the higher-ups, which meant that she had to claim the land regardless of whether she wanted it or not. She didn't care whether she was claiming mountain fields or wasteland fields, and the reason why she suddenly made things difficult was that she wanted to maximize her own benefits.

There was a small pond beside the wasteland fields, but because no one took care of it for many years, the small pond had dried up.

However, there was a river next to the small pond. With water and a pond, she could raise fish, and she could earn money.

As the saying went, no matter how small a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat. She had to get this pond.

"Okay, I'll give you the small pond."

The village chief was really embarrassed to be called a scammer by a junior in front of him.

He also didn't want to claim mountain fields as wasteland fields, but all the paddy fields and wasteland fields in the village had been divided, and there was no such thing as wasteland fields.

He thought that Ye Jinxiu couldn't differentiate between mountain fields, but he didn't expect her to see through it.

Ye Jinxiu immediately smiled and said innocently, "Uncle, let's go and sign the contract now."

The earlier the contract was signed, the better. The village chief was afraid that a long delay would cause more problems, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Sign it now."

Because they had to write a small pond in the contract, the contract that had been drafted earlier could not be used. The village chief took Ye Jinxiu to town to write a new contract.

After signing the contract, the village chief stayed behind for a meeting while Ye Jinxiu returned to the village alone.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

From afar, Ye Jinxiu saw a woman smashing her yard door with a rock. From her back view, she did not have any impression of this woman. Since she did not have any impression of her, she probably was not from the Yeh family village.

She shouted a few times, but the annoying thing was that the woman didn't seem to hear her. She was addicted to smashing the door.

Ye Jinxiu quickly walked over and reached out to grab her arm.

"I'm talking about you. What are you doing?"

The woman turned around and Ye Jinxiu's jaw dropped when he saw the woman's face.

"Mom!"

The woman's name was Li Xue. She was none other than the original body's mother.

Li Xue pursed her lips and hugged Ye Jinxiu as she sobbed, "Daughter, Mom misses you so much. Are you doing well at home alone?"

Ye Jinxiu's outstretched hand froze. Her mother had always been strong and cared about her image. She would never be like the woman in her arms who did not care about her image and cried so hard.

The woman in her arms was not her mother, but a woman who looked a lot like her mother.

In an instant, all her excitement disappeared.

After a while, she came back to her senses.

Although this woman who looked exactly like her mother was not her mother, she was the original body's biological mother.

It was not wrong for her to call the woman in her arms "Mom."

"I'm doing well. I just miss you so much."

Li Xue touched Ye Jinxiu's face, then hugged Ye Jinxiu's neck and cried, "Daughter, you've become thinner and darker. Have you suffered?"

Ye Jinxiu pulled Li Xue away and said, "Mom, I miss you so much that I can't eat."

Li Xue was touched and wanted to throw herself into Ye Jinxiu's arms, but Ye Jinxiu avoided her.

Li Xue held Ye Jinxiu's hand as tears streamed down her face.

Ye Jinxiu sighed and hugged Li Xue. "Mom, have you been wronged?"

The original body's cheap parents had gone to visit their relatives, but only the original body's cheap mother came back. It was obvious that the cheap mother had been wronged.

Li Xue nodded and sniffed. She said fiercely, "Daughter, we won't live with your father anymore. I want to divorce him."

Ye Jinxiu was stunned. Li Xue became more and more excited. "I've already thought about it. After I divorce your father, I'll take you and your brother to remarry to Lao Li, who sells roasted chicken.

Lao Li doesn't have much, but he has enough roasted chicken.

After we get married, we'll have an endless supply of roasted chicken for the rest of our lives. "

Ye Jinxiu shuddered. This mother didn't want to remarry for the sake of roasted chicken, right?

It shouldn't be, right?

"Mom, if you want to divorce, will my father agree?"

Li Xue snorted. "He doesn't need to agree. I've already decided."

Just as Ye Jinxiu was about to persuade her, Li Xue said again, "I just don't know if Lao Li is willing."

Ye Jinxiu was speechless. She thought that her cheap mother and the roasted chicken seller, Lao Li, were in love, but it turned out that wasn't the case. Her cheap mother coveted Lao Li's roasted chicken. Did Lao Li know about it?

"I think he's willing."

Li Xue lowered her head shyly and said to herself, "He doesn't have a son or daughter. After we go to his house, his roasted chicken shop will be yours."

Ye Jinxiu prostrated herself on the ground. She opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

Li Xue shook Ye Jinxiu's hand. "Daughter, what do you think?"

She didn't think much of it!

"Mom, tell me. Why do you want to remarry Lao Li?"

Li Xue said without thinking, "Roast chicken. Don't you love eating roast chicken the most? After we get married, we can eat roast chicken if we want to eat roast chicken. If we don't want to eat roast chicken, we can sell roast chicken."

As she spoke, Li Xue giggled. Clearly, she was overjoyed by her own imagination.

The smile on Ye Jinxiu's face froze. This mother was so strong!

"Mom, I can earn money. I'll support you in the future."

After holding it in for a few minutes, Ye Jinxiu finally said something.

Ever since she was young, she only admired her nouveau riche father. Now, she had to add her cheap mother.

Li Xue stared at Ye Jinxiu, then reached out to touch her forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"

Li Xue obviously did not take her words to heart. She took out the key from Ye Jinxiu's pocket, opened the door, picked up her suitcase, and walked leisurely into the yard.

Ye Jinxiu touched her forehead. Did she look so untrustworthy?

Her financial ability determined her social status. Her financial ability determined her right to speak. In this family, if she wanted to speak, she had to let her cheap parents know that she had financial ability.

After thinking for a while, Ye Jinxiu turned and walked out. She first went to town and bought a roasted chicken, a few kilograms of roasted pork, and a pig's knuckle. Then she went to a clothing store and bought two sets of clothes according to her mother's measurements.

She carried two bags into the house. After putting down the things, she took out 50 yuan and stuffed it into Li Xue's hand. "Mom, I really know how to earn money. I can support you in the future."

"Daughter, did you do something bad?"

Li Xue scurried to the door like a rabbit and closed it. She lowered her voice and whispered.

Ye Jinxiu opened the bags and took out two sets of clothes, revealing the roasted chicken, roasted pork, and pig's knuckle. "Mom, your daughter is amazing. Not only does she know how to earn money, but she also rented more than 100 mu of land in our village."

Li Xue's eyes widened, then she covered Ye Jinxiu's mouth. "Oh no, being a landlord is going to be fought!

Daughter, in the future, don't say that the 100 mu of land is yours. Just say that your father asked you to rent it. "

This was what they meant by 'Die together with a friend'.

This was what they meant by 'Husband and wife birds of the same forest, but when disaster struck, they flew separately.'

Ye Jinxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pulled Li Xue's hand and said with a smile, "Mom, Fighting the Landlord is Lao Huang's tradition. We won't do it in the future."

Li Xue didn't believe a single word. Two years ago, they were still fighting the Landlord and the Capitalist. How could they suddenly stop?

"Daughter, listen to me. In the future, just say that the land is your father's."

"By the way, is your name written on the contract?"

Ye Jinxiu nodded. Li Xue said happily, "That's good. The land is still our land. If something happens to it, let your father suffer."

Just like that, her cheap father unknowingly became her scapegoat.

Although the woman in front of her wasn't her mother, her love for her daughter was no less than her own mother's.

For a moment, Ye Jinxiu felt a little sad. He was sad that he couldn't see his mother, but he was also sad that his cheap mother wouldn't be able to see her daughter in the future.

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Xue waved her hand in front of Ye Jinxiu's eyes and looked at Ye Jinxiu worriedly.

"Nothing, Mom. Are you hungry?"

Li Xue didn't feel hungry if she didn't talk about it. But as soon as she said that, her stomach started growling. She held her stomach and smiled. "I didn't eat anything last night. I didn't eat breakfast either."

Ye Jinxiu picked up the pork trotter. "I've learned how to cook recently. Can I show you my cooking skills?"

"Sure, Mom will be your assistant."

Li Xue was a very cheerful person. Her emotions came and went quickly. After being distracted by Ye Jinxiu, she immediately followed Ye Jinxiu to the kitchen to cook.

Ye Jinxiu took out a casserole pot and made a pot of pig trotter. He also stewed a pot of rice. Then, he took out the roast chicken and roast pork, cut them up, and put them on the plate. Just like that, a lunch full of meat was ready.

Old Madam Ye hurried home to make lunch. Suddenly, she saw the young lady in the courtyard. She was so excited that she rushed over.

"Young Lady, why are you back?"

Li Xue was a good actress. She whimpered and scolded her cheap father. Then, she complained about her grievances. In the end, she and Old Madam Ye squatted at the door and talked bad about her cheap father.

"Mom, Grandma Ye, it's time to eat."
