Chapter 70: The Mansion
The house is huge, with a total area of almost one acre.
Li Zheng opened the door, stood at the door, and said, "In addition to the main hall, there are six large rooms in the back of this house, which are very spacious. The kitchen is in the backyard and a cellar is dug. By the way, there is also a small pond in the backyard, and the water is living water, which is directly drawn down from the mountains and then discharged into the river outside the village. ”
While listening to Li Zheng's introduction, everyone walked around the house.
As Li Zheng said, the house is very large, each room has about forty square meters, and the floor is paved with green bricks. The house is also built quite strongly, and it has not been inhabited for several years, except for the roof tiles that are a little loose in some places, there are no other major problems.
Everyone went around to the backyard and saw the small pond that Li Zheng said at a glance, saying that it was small, but it was enough to be three points bigger. However, the backyard is nearly twice as spacious as the frontyard, so the pond doesn't seem too spacey.
After a circle, Li Zheng looked at Su's mother, "Sister-in-law of the Su family, what do you think of this house?" ”
Su Mu looked at it this circle and was really satisfied with this house.
The place is big, and the house has to be spacious, to be honest, it is much stronger than the Cheng family's house.
It's just that this place is a bit remote, and it's haunted.
Su Mu was really a little hesitant.
Su Qin was very satisfied, this courtyard is really good, the area in front and back of the courtyard is already very large, which is very convenient for practicing in the future. There is also that small pond, she has thought about it, and when she goes back to get some lotus root seeds, she will enjoy the flowers in summer and eat lotus roots in winter.
Li Zheng saw that Su Mu and Su Qin didn't speak, so he said: "This house cost more than 100 taels of silver just to build back then. At that time, the family was in a hurry, and only sold for a hundred taels of silver. If you look at the area of this house, and then look at the quality of this house, you really don't have to choose. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Old Man Cheng, "What do you think?" ”
Old man Cheng is also quite satisfied with this house, he used to think that his house was one of the best in the village, but now compared with this house, it is really far behind.
With such a good house for Su Qinniang to live in, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.
But when I think about my plan, I don't think there's anything left. It's just that this house is haunted, which is a bit of a mistake.
But after thinking about it, this house will let Su Qinniang's mother and son live in it first, as long as they are fine, it means that this house is fine. When the time comes, the matter of the three of them and the mother and son will be resolved, and it will not be too late to make plans whether to keep or sell this house.
Old man Cheng had a charter in his heart, so he turned his head and asked Su's mother, "What do your in-laws think?" ”
Su Mu glanced at Su Qin, "Qin Niang, what do you think?" ”
Su Qin nodded: "It's good, let's do it here." ”
Old man Cheng looked at Su Mu again, "Then it's decided?" ”
Su Mu couldn't do anything about Su Qin, so she had to nod and agree, "Settle it." ”
Old man Cheng immediately pulled Li Zheng aside to discuss the price.
The Li family, who came with her, after seeing this house, the sour water in her heart almost pickled herself.
Such a good house, just so cheap Su Qinniang, it's really hard to settle!
But thinking of what Cheng Yanping said to her last night, she felt better again.
Sooner or later, this house will return to the Cheng family, and when the time comes, she will not allow the old man Cheng to sell it, and will move directly to the family, just to get rid of the two old immortals.
The Cheng family has a little Jiujiu in their hearts, but they don't know that there is also their own little Jiujiu.
Old man Cheng thought that no one wanted this house when it was hung up for fifty taels of silver, and this time he pressed it down, maybe it could be cheaper.
Li Zheng is also an old treacherous person, knowing that the Cheng family is in a hurry to get rid of the Su family, this house must be bought, in order to make himself lose less money, so he shamelessly raised the price, not much, twenty taels. It will not make the Cheng family unable to afford it, but it will not let itself lose too much.
Old man Cheng and Li Zheng made a half-day price, and finally sold the deal at a price of sixty taels.
On the same day, the Su family accompanied Su Qin, Old Man Cheng, Li Zheng, and the patriarch to the county government and exchanged the house deeds along with the land deeds of the four places.
Su Qin's name was written on the house title deed, and according to the agreement, Su Qin wanted to hand over the house title deed to Old Man Cheng, but Su Qin made a temporary request.
"It's okay to hand over the title deed of the house to you for safekeeping, but let's get three chapters of the law first."
Old man Cheng looked at the deed in Su Qin's hand, and his eyelids jumped, "What is the law?" ”
"First, the Cheng family must not use the title deed of the house as a threat to force me to do anything."
"Second, if the title deed of the house is lost, the Cheng family needs to pay me half of the house price as compensation."
"Third, when Zhouzhou reaches the age of fifteen, the Cheng family must take the initiative to return the deed to me without delaying it under any pretext. These three articles are evidenced by the paper, and if the Cheng family breaches the contract in the future, I will have a basis. ”
Old man Cheng agreed very happily, "Then I also ask to write down the conditions I have proposed." ”
Su Qin was also very happy.
So Li Zheng asked the Yamen clerk again and helped write a charter.
In triplicate, Old Man Cheng and Su Qin signed and signed each other, and then stamped the official seal of the Yamen, one copy remained in the Yamen, and the remaining Old Man Cheng and Su Qin each held one copy, and this matter was considered dead.
Su Qin, under the witness of Li Zhenghe, the patriarch and the Yamen documents, handed over the title deed of the house to Old Man Cheng.
Old man Cheng put the two pieces of deed paper into his personal pocket, and lost his previous politeness and forbearance towards Su's mother, "The family has been divided according to your requirements, and from now on, the Su family and we are two families." Therefore, please also ask your in-laws and a few nephews to pack up and move to the new house while the time is still early. ”
Patriarch Cheng and Li Zheng almost couldn't stand it.
It's so petty.
Su Mu smiled faintly, "Okay, it's also troublesome for my in-laws' hospitality these days, after we go back, we will move out immediately." ”
Old man Cheng squinted his eyes and hummed, turned his head and left.
The Su family was not in a hurry to return to the village, and after greeting the patriarch and Li Zheng, they went to various shops in the county to buy the items needed to live at home.
The Cheng family won't prepare pots and pans for Su Qin, and Su Qin is not rare, the best used things, she is really good, isn't it fragrant to buy new ones? It's not that she can't afford it.
When he arrived at the various stores, Su Qin picked out some things according to his preferences and was about to pay the silver, but several cousins scrambled to check out, and it was not Su Qin's turn to make a move.
Su Qin knew that these brothers were afraid that she would be short on money, so they made up for her.
Su Qin, who had not enjoyed too much family warmth in his previous life, was really moved. These cousins really love her as if she were their own sister.
Su Jiu was still afraid that she would have a burden in her heart, so she tried to smile kindly, "Tenth sister, don't think too much, you just split up your family, with two children, you will need to spend money everywhere in the future." The brothers don't have much ability, but they still have some money on hand. When you have a better life in the future, just sell a few catties of wine for your brothers. ”
