Chapter 20: Bargaining
"My wife and I are here today to discuss the purchase of an orchard, not to see your lady's arrogance and domineering, I hope you will forgive me." After speaking, he took Zhou Xinzhi's hand and prepared to leave.
But before the two of them turned around, the eldest daughter-in-law changed her face.
"Look at me, I was in a hurry, and I forgot that there were still distinguished guests, you two came here." Joke, she finally found two wronged people who wanted to take down the garden that lost money, and she was too late to be happy, but she couldn't just blow it up.
Zhou Xinzhi glanced at Du Lisheng beside her, and then stepped forward and sat on the stone bench, she would see what tricks this woman could play.
"Just now I and my insiders took a look at the size of the orchard, and if you agree, twenty taels of silver, I will buy this orchard." Du Lisheng said straight to the point, these twenty taels are not his family's savings, but they are about the same.
It's just that he believes in Zhou Xinzhi's vision, and this orchard is also worth the price.
"Are you crazy? Although I want to take down this orchard, I don't need so much, we have to drink the northwest wind when you buy it? Zhou Xinzhi's eyes were wide open, if she didn't know what level she was at home, she would have thought that she was a big deal.
Du Lisheng smiled softly, "Didn't the lady say that she wanted to believe you?" I also trust my mother, and I will definitely earn back a few twenty taels for my husband in the future. ”
Aunt Wang on the side was a little worried, and after thinking about it, she still couldn't bear to speak, "Young man, although the location of this garden is good, the harvest is not very good, twenty taels is too much, ten taels is enough......"
"What do you old woman know, do you have a part in your talk? Hurry up and get cooked! ”
This Liu's anger is not light, twenty taels! This dead old woman can't earn more than twenty taels in her life, and she is stupid to persuade others to take less, the more she thinks about it, the worse her attitude becomes, and she is even ready to raise her feet and kick.
"I'm sorry, but let's get down to business now." Zhou Xinzhi was too lazy to deal with this woman, and she was not interested in interfering in their family affairs.
Du Lisheng didn't want to dwell on it anymore, the woman's revealing eyes from time to time made him feel sick, and he really didn't like it.
"You two have also seen that our orchard is in a good location, where are these twenty taels suitable?" As soon as Liu heard that Du Lisheng could take out twenty taels, his mind was also moved, and he was unwilling to earn only these twenty taels.
Zhou Xinzhi raised her eyebrows, this woman is really a lion's mouth, twenty taels is already good, and she actually has to raise the price.
"Oh? How much silver will we have to spend on this orchard, according to you? Zhou Xinzhi leaned on Du Lisheng's shoulder, but wanted to see how shameless this woman was.
"Fifty taels!"
Scold! This woman dared to ask for a price.
Zhou Xinzhi glanced at the woman disdainfully, asking for fifty taels, then we have to see if her place is worth it, she likes it and is not wrong, but it is not to the point where it has to be.
"Husband, since people don't want to sell it, then let's forget it, anyway, the land in the southeast corner of the village, the village chief can say that it can be resold for ten taels, and we won't be angry."
After speaking, he seemed to be really angry, and he was ready to leave.
"Hey, I'm joking with the two of you just now, let's discuss this price, don't rush to leave first." Liu's eyes rolled, and he also knew that he was too anxious, and this matter was still gradual.
"Yo? Did you know this was a joke? Zhou Xinzhi sneered for a moment, "The price is fifteen taels, if you agree with us, we will take it, if you don't agree, just do it." ”
She didn't bother to talk nonsense, according to her previous plan, ten taels was the top of the sky, and the extra five taels were purely added because she felt sorry for this eldest lady.
This Liu family also had a pain in the flesh, which is much less than what she said at the beginning, and she is to blame, it was good to agree at the beginning, and now there are not even twenty taels.
Gritting your teeth and being ruthless, it's just fifteen taels for fifteen taels, which is better than no silver.
"Done!" After Liu finished speaking, he slapped his thigh, and finally the orchard was also sold at a price of fifteen taels, "You guys pay the silver first." ”
Zhou Xinzhi ignored her, but spread her hands to her, "Don't think I'm so foolish, hand over the land deed with one hand and pay the money with the other." "She's not stupid, this woman knows at a glance that she doesn't have any good intentions, if she gives silver, she will do something wrong with the title deed.
Liu glanced at her, twisted his waist and went to the house to look for the title deed, and when he came back, the title deed was slapped on the table by her, "I brought the things, don't you want to repay the debt." ”
Du Lisheng checked the title deed and found that there was no problem, so he put it away and handed it over to her, and now, the orchard was officially named Zhou Xinzhi and Du Lisheng.
Holding the title deed and leaving, remembering what she had promised the eldest mother before, she sighed and said: "You can rest for a while, as for this fruit, if it bears well, my husband and I will personally send it to you, and you don't need to run more." ”
After speaking, he ignored the Liu family and the cowardly man on the side, and left the courtyard with Du Lisheng.
With the orchard, the next step is to put things in order, "Now that the orchard is in hand, the next step is to solve the problem of drought." Zhou Xinzhi muttered, this is a challenge.
"What are the plans of the lady, it hasn't rained for a while, and the ground is dry and solid, I'm afraid it's not easy to water through." What's more, there is no water source near this foggy mountain, and the pond is far away from the foot of this mountain, even if you have to drive for a while.
"The soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." Zhou Xinzhi didn't think too much, shrugged her shoulders and continued to walk forward.
In fact, Du Lisheng was a little surprised in his heart, judging from the contact with the little lady in the past few days, he thought that the little lady would be indignant to seek justice for Aunt Wang, but this matter is over?
Zhou Xinzhi glanced at it inadvertently, and also roughly thought of what he was thinking in his heart.
Shaking her head, she said patiently: "I really don't like the appearance of that daughter-in-law, but I can save a while but I can't save a lifetime, we are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, the one in my family and the one in your family is enough for a headache, and I can't accept one more." ”
Du Lisheng also understands that even if they help today, they can't stay by the eldest mother's side all the time, so even if they feel angry, there is no way.
Before going home, Zhou Xinzhi proposed to go around the Foggy Mountains to have a look, because the foot was not far, and it was close to the location of Du Lisheng's hunting in the past, so he also went by the way.
When I stepped into the hospital, I didn't smell the strong fragrance of flowers and fruits, but felt lifeless.
Zhou Xinzhi stepped forward to carefully inspect the situation of the fruit trees, sighed and shook her head, "This situation is much more serious than I thought, but the problem is not very big." ”
She looked carefully at the dry, hard ground in front of her, and she walked around the orchard, which was so large, that her eyes moved for a moment as she reached the northwest corner.
She got up and squatted at the foot of the mountain, and raised her hand to touch the rock, and the wet touch of her hand made her eyes widen.
