Lao Zhong had a meal at his father-in-law's house, and then he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

When I went out, I was watching the children swaying around the carriage, and a few brothers-in-law were also envious.

"Brothers, don't be envious, if this business is done, I'm afraid that there will be every year in the future, and it's nothing to buy a carriage."

"If you can buy it, you have to buy another ox cart. The carriage looks good, and in terms of endurance, the ox cart is the most suitable for our crops. "The second brother-in-law is envious, but if he wants to choose, it is better to be a pragmatic oxcart.

"Well, that's right, I think it's faster to run around every day and use it, or I won't buy it. It's still a cow. ”

"I just like the carriage, tsk, the spirit of the horse. If I had money, I would keep him a few horses. ”

The second brother-in-law pouted, "I haven't made any money yet, so I'm thinking about spending money first." ”

The brother-in-law didn't think about it, nor did he refute it, but the desire for money became stronger and stronger.

Lao Zhong said goodbye to the Yue family and rushed back to the county.

I have booked a home in Qiaonan Village as a workshop point, but I am not in a hurry to go, and I will get all the tools first. It was only close to the evening of the second day, and before the tools were delivered, the big steward of the Yao family came again.

"My lord has thought about it, since Master Zhong is sincere in buying it, I agree to let you six hundred and fifty taels, how about it. My lord is a blood loss. ”

Master? Didn't his family sell his land? It doesn't matter, though. I've given up, and I'm still coming over endlessly.

"Hehe, Steward Lao took a trip in vain, my business is too small, I really can't pay so much money, if your family has a twenty acres of land for sale, I may be able to buy it."

It is even more difficult to sell if it is dismantled, and buying these 20 acres of land alone will not solve any problems.

The steward returned disappointed, and the next morning the steward came again.

said that his master agreed, and the transaction was five hundred taels.

Old Clock: ...... I can't get out of five hundred taels. Please Mr. Yao or find someone else's home.

The steward's face is green, what you said the day before yesterday, buy it for 500. How can a person who does business be so untrustworthy.

The tone was a little bad, "Master Zhong, the day before yesterday, you said that you would buy it for five hundred." ”

"Yes, I said that, but you also said it was the day before yesterday. Now that I have embezzled money, where can I find so much money? ”

The breathing steward puffed his nose, flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

It's just that there wasn't an hour, and before Lao Zhong could go out, he was blocked by the Yao family steward again.

The housekeeper of the Yao family is also helpless, the main family is in trouble, even if he breaks his leg at this time, he has to endure it.

If one is not good, the master's family will start selling slaves, and he may be miserable in the future.

"My lord said, five hundred taels, not a penny of silver is missing, but this year's harvest in the field belongs to you. Okay, just bring the silver, come to Yao's house at noon to sign the contract and go through the formalities, no, then my lord has other plans, and it doesn't necessarily have to sell this land. ”

may feel that this is a little rushed, and softened his tone again: "You forgive me, my lord is sick in bed, which is not conducive to doing, and you can take care of it." ”

Lao Zhong didn't care about the housekeeper's tone before, he also relayed the words of the old man of the Yao family.

But

This is a bit interesting, Lao Zhong has seen the land, corn and wheat, which is only about two months before the harvest, especially wheat, which will come down soon.

The output of those is calculated according to two stones of grain per mu at most, and after fifty acres, it is converted into fifty taels of silver.

Obediently, even if it is difficult to use water, the old Yao family will lose enough this time.

Lao Zhong pondered it carefully, and it was clear. There must be no buyer, or there must be a buyer, but the bid is lower.

He guessed it.

Master Yao is only in his fifties, but his health is not good, and this year he has been sick again and again, and his energy is low, so he has to let his only son be in charge of the house temporarily.

Especially recently, a severe wind and cold almost killed him, and he took no less medicine, and his condition was temporarily stabilized, but there was no good trend.

Originally, Yao Baoyu lost money and wanted to sell Yetian to hide it from his father, but when the wind was released, the wind blew into Master Yao's ears.

This Master Yao didn't die of illness, he almost died of anger.

No matter how angry you are, you have to wipe your son's buttocks.

Fortunately, the unfilial son listened to the words of the steward, and sold the land in the east of the county, and the land there was a good land, but unfortunately, it was the old Guo family next to it.

Don't say anything else, because this is fast, you have to give some filial piety every year, otherwise there will always be an excuse not to give you water. In a drought year, the money of filial piety is neutralized with the harvest, and there is nothing left in a year, which is very chicken.

But it is such a chicken land, as soon as he said that he was going to sell it, Master Yao was also very reluctant.

Eight hundred taels must not be considered, five hundred taels is too low.

How did he know that Lao Zhong only gave a bid of five hundred taels, this is not how smart Lao Zhong is, but this is his limit. He overestimated Lao Zhong's assets.

Five hundred taels to buy the middle land on the outskirts of the county, before that, Master Yao could spray him with spittle, but now, hey, it's hard to say.

There is an unfilial son who let out the wind, and he also pulled down his face and found a few local rich families. The heads of these families used to eat and drink with themselves a lot.

The people who contacted me gave a price, and some people came to the door, but the most bidders were only given one mu and eight taels, and the output must be given to others.

It's black, it's really black.

People also have excuses, that is, they are hindering Guo Dian's family.

Phew, that's just one aspect, isn't it because of your own urgent need for money?

The more acquaintances there are, the more ruthless the price reduction is.

I can repay the price, but the question is, if I can pay it back, can it exceed five hundred? Those who are black-hearted, he doesn't know too much. Besides, the rotten debtor is coming, and he doesn't have the energy to toss anymore.

"The old man hasn't died yet, and one by one he has begun to fall into the well."

Master Yao felt that if this continued, his illness would only get worse and worse, and the unfilial son had no eyes next to him, and kept muttering: I'm going to collect debts.

People say that it is not long before you have a child, and you will not be rich for a long time if you have no children, but you are not a filial son, so it is better not to have one.

What to do, what can't you do, the first place loser.

Since the year before last he was encouraged by some fox friends to play with money, the family began to add holes to him, fortunately his daughter-in-law married in, otherwise with his virtue, who would marry him?

I have a daughter, the eldest sister and the second sister are fortunately married early, what can the third sister do?

Desperate, Master Yao felt that he really couldn't live, even if he wasn't sick, he had to die of anger.

Master Yao said hatefully: "Unfilial son, the family has been tossed for you, and there is no dowry, how can your little sister marry?" Because of you, you have been divorced, who are you worthy of? You should have been arrested, because I don't have this son. ”

Yao Baoyu also knew that he was too much, and his family was about to be tossed by himself, so he shrunk his neck and said: "That's the last one, it's really not good, the family business is divided into two halves, half of the son, and the remaining half is for the sister as a dowry." ”

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

I almost didn't come up in one breath.

Unfilial son, your father is not dead.

Hey, he is angry, but he only has one son, what can he do, so he has to send someone to find Zhong Defu, which is the highest price.

But now it's good, Zhong Defu doesn't want it, he takes a look at his unfilial son, so he has to hold his breath and agree to make profits again.
