Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 52

Buying Land (1)
When Tang Zizheng saw Duan Yixin standing outside the gate, his eyes turned slightly red.

Tang Zizheng walked up to Duan Yixin and called her softly, “Xin Xin.”

Just when his fingers were about to touch Duan Yixin’s hand, Duan Yixin frowned slightly and took two steps back. Seeing her clear rejection, Tang Zizheng froze on the spot.

Duan Yixin looked at his aggrieved expression, her brows furrowed deeper, and she thought to herself, ‘He acted as if I am the one who abandoned him and not him who abandoned the original owner. The original owner is really blind to love this kind of man.’

Just as she was thinking about it, Chi Xinru stood in front of her and glared at Tang Zizheng, “Tang Zizheng, please respect yourself. Don’t you think you are reading those books in vain? What is your relationship with Xin Xin now that you dare to call her by her nickname?”

Hearing Chi Xinru’s sharp words, Tang Zizheng came back to his senses. He clenched his hands, slowly put them down, and said, “I’m sorry. I offended you, Miss Duan.”

Duan Yixin nodded but didn’t say anything. Seeing that Duan Yixin’s expression had softened, Chi Xinru looked at Tang Zizheng and said, “We are not here to find you but to find the village chief.”

Tang Zizheng was reluctant to distance himself from Duan Yixin. But he knew that if he didn’t do so, Duan Yixin would only hate him more.

He lowered his eyes and reminded himself, ‘Be patient. When I find the evidence, I will explain everything to Xin Xin. I’m sure she will forgive me when she knows I was forced to hurt her.’

After convincing himself, Tang Zizheng opened the gate and said, “Please come in.”

He stepped aside and waited for Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru to walk into the front yard before closing the gate. Tang Zizheng motioned for them to sit down on the wooden chair in the yard and said, “Please take a seat. I will go and notify my grandfather right away.”

Tang Zizheng glanced at Duan Yixin one more time before he walked into the house. Seeing him finally leaving, Chi Xinru snorted and angrily said, “This Tang Zizheng is out of his mind! He has done so many bad things to you, and he still dares to call you by your nickname!”

While waiting for Tang Sanniu, Duan Yixin calmly listened to Chi Xinru cursing Tang Zizheng. Just when Chi Xinru was cursing the fifth generation of the Tang family, Tang Sanniu walked out, and Tang Zizheng followed him.

Seeing Tang Sanniu coming, Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru stood up and greeted him, “Good evening, Village Chief.”

Tang Sanniu nodded, sat down, and said, “Please take a seat.”

Seeing that Tang Zizheng was trying to sit beside Duan Yixin, Chi Xinru stood up and sat next to Duan Yixin with a cold face. Seeing that the only empty seat was opposite Duan Yixin, Tang Zizheng felt a little regretful, but he still sat down silently.

After everyone sat down, Tang Sanniu looked at Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru and asked, “Why are you two here at this time?”

Duan Yixin said, “Village chief, I’m sorry to disturb you at this time. I want to buy land, and I hope you can help me solve this matter.”

Tang Sanniu and Tang Zizheng were surprised to hear that she wanted to buy land. Tang Sanniu remained silent for a moment and asked, “What kind of land do you want to buy?”

Duan Yixin thought about her dilapidated thatched house and said, “I want to buy farmland.”

As the village chief, Tang Sanniu knew almost everything that happened in Yunshan Village, including the secret of the Duan family’s seizure of the land left by Grandpa Duan to Duan Yixin.

Although he knew about it, as an outsider, he had no right to interfere because it was the Duan family’s matter. Now, knowing that Duan Yixin wanted to buy land, Tang Sanniu felt that this was a good opportunity to help her.

Thinking of this, Tang Sanniu said, “The land around your home is still available for you to buy, but the farmland may be far away from your home. Just wait here for a moment.”

After saying that, he stood up and returned to the house. Without his grandfather around, Tang Zizheng is no longer as reserved as before. He kept staring at Duan Yixin, hoping that she would look at him, but all he got was Duan Yixin’s indifference.

Chi Xinru, who was sitting between them, almost exploded with anger when she saw Tang Zizheng’s behavior. She gritted her teeth and said, “Tang Zizheng, if you keep staring at Xin Xin, believe it or not, I will dig out your eyes!”

Tang Zizheng, who grew up together with Chi Xiyou, also understands Chi Xinru’s personality very well. Now that she had said this, Tang Zizheng was sure that she would do as she said. In order to protect his eyes and dignity in front of Duan Yixin, Tang Zizheng reluctantly looked away from Duan Yixin.

Just as the three of them were sitting there in silence, Tang Sanniu came back with a stack of documents. He sat down, placed the document in front of Duan Yixin, and said, “Take a look at these. These are maps of the available land around our village.|

Duan Yixin picked up the stack of paper and looked at them slowly. After more than five minutes, she separated two maps and said, “Village Chief, what is the land price for these two locations?”

Tang Sanniu looked at the two maps, then looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Didn’t you say you want to buy some farmland? These two places are not suitable for farming.”

Duan Yixin smiled slightly at him and said, “What I grow is not rice, but medicinal herbs and grains. These two places should be suitable for what I want to grow. Plus, the location is near my home.”
