Chapter 069 Home

Village Chief He said, "One mu of land costs five taels of silver."

"Five taels!" Elder Mo was so angry that his beard curled up, "Why so expensive? Back in my old village, when we went to the government office to register land deeds, the government's land cost would at most be two taels per mu, and wasteland only cost one tael of silver per mu. Why is the land in Da Feng Village so costly?"

Five taels of silver per mu of land is equivalent to half a year's income for a peasant family. This is extortion.

Old Master Lu, who had been silent, said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy, "If you think it's too expensive, you can move back to your old village."

His words were quite unpleasant, leaving Elder Mo with a green face from choking on his reply.

Mo Kui hurriedly pulled on Elder Mo, signaling him not to offend anyone.

Third Grandpa and the others knew that Da Feng Village wanted to intimidate them, so they kept a stern face and did not speak.
