As soon as the Second Lang's wife finished speaking, Song Wei immediately understood her intentions.
The previous guarantee letter witnessed by the village head and the clan leader only stated that once Song Wei passed his scholar exams, he would freely allocate land to the village people without any benefit to himself.
The premise of the guarantee letter was that Song Wei would become a scholar.
But now, he was just a scholar with eighty acres of tax-exempt land under his name.
Logically, these eighty acres could be used to allocate land to others and collect tax.
Second Lang's wife wanted to seize the land the third household planned to rent, sell it at a high price, have the buyer register the land under Song Wei's name for tax reduction, and then she would come forward to collect tax.
In this way, she could profit from both ends for each acre of land.
Wen Wan shook her head. No wonder they say like mother, like daughter.
