While the initial investment was high, after the land turned into fertile land, Yao Zhi could earn more in the future. Her goal was never sweet potatoes but planting high-yield rice.
After she made up her mind, she reached into her sleeves and said, "Village Chief, I want to buy all the land."
She placed a pouch on the table and continued, "Here are 205 taels of silver. 200 taels for buying the land and 5 taels of silver for buying some tea for the official."
The Yang family was surprised to see how casual she was. The Village Chief opened the pouch and saw the glistening silver. He quickly closed it and said, "Yao Girl, you don't need to give so much to the official. Just one tael of silver is enough."
"Village Chief, the rest is for your fee. The town is far, and you will waste a day helping me buy the land. It's only right for me to pay you," Yao Zhi said.
