Chapter 8: An Invitation
"What is the purpose of your visit today, to demonstrate? Look at my depressed and helpless appearance? I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Faced with the two of them posing as masters in their own homes, Su Chengye laughed at himself in his heart, he thought that he was smarter than Su Chengye in the past, and how much smarter could he actually be. "On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to bow to it", the darkness and cunning of people's hearts He has only seen it from the Internet, film and television, where can it compare to Su Hongda, who has been influenced by the environment since he was a child.
"Don't say it so ugly, how do we say it, we are also cousins, breaking bones and connecting tendons, I don't feel good when I see you down, I always want to help as much as I can, even if you have repeatedly rejected my kindness before, and made disrespectful remarks, my attitude is still the same. Su Hongda and the Taoist priest looked at each other and smiled, they were successful people, although there was a little accident in the middle, I didn't expect Zhong He's reaction, but their goal has been achieved, and the next thing is to wait for the harvest.
"There is one thing I don't understand, admitting in front of me at home that it was you who calculated me at the beginning, and what you did was the ten acres of spiritual land, and you still expect me to sell the spiritual field to you, isn't it too fantastical?" Su Chengye looked at the other party intently, he thought that Su Hongda would not be so stupid, maybe this was the beginning of another conspiracy. But he couldn't think of what else Su Hongda could do, to rob him? If he really wanted to rob Su Hongda, he didn't have to make such a big detour, and it took more than two years to use the deception on the rivers and lakes to deal with himself.
"You don't want to sell Lingtian to me?" Su Hongda pretended to be surprised, and looked at the Taoist priest incomprehensibly and suspiciously, and the Taoist priest also looked incredulous, as if Su Chengye's move was unexpected.
Su Chengye watched the two perform, they did not hide their pretentiousness, their expressions were exaggerated, and they looked at each other and laughed presumptuously. His expression was calm, as if he didn't see it, "I don't want to." β
"The market price of Lingtian is two thousand two thousand two acres, and I will buy it for three thousand two hundred and one acres, and you are not willing?" Su Hongda's expression was even more shocked than seeing the resurrection of the dead and the opening of the stone, and he turned his searching gaze to the Taoist priest, "Did I hear the wrong words with the wrong ears." β
"I don't want to listen to it, but why don't you want to, three thousand taels and one mu is one thousand taels more than two thousand and one acres, and ten acres of spiritual land is ten thousand taels, and a fool can calculate which one is more cost-effective. The Taoist priest thought for a while, tilted his head and asked Su Chengye, "Is it possible that someone will pay a higher price, it is impossible, you are now owing money to the loan shark and waiting for it, and if others don't take the opportunity to lower the price, their conscience will find out, how can they increase the price for you." β
"Even if someone else gives 1,000 taels and 1 acres, I won't sell it to you, because I just don't want to, I'm not happy to sell Lingtian to you, and I'm happy if I have money to buy it. Su Chengye added: "The Su family is not the only powerful in Sufeng County, I don't think they will be lackeys for the Su family to give two pieces of silver." β
He guessed that Su Hongda was still wishful thinking of "cheating", looking for someone to pretend to be a buyer, and bought Lingtian from him at a price of 2,000 taels or a little higher or lower, and in the end Lingtian still fell into Su Hongda's hands.
"You, just mature on your face, your heart is still the same as before, you don't know how to weigh the gains and losses, Lingtian will be taken away by others sooner or later, I also want to protect you first, don't think that I lied to you and harmed you, it will be more cruel to change to someone else's means. β
"There are still a few similar to the Su family in Sufeng County, of course you can sell Lingtian to them, they are also very happy to buy it, Lingtian has always been priceless and marketable, and it is in demand everywhere. But how much can they pay, 3,000 21 acres? I'm afraid even you don't believe it. β
"I have found out that you are indeed a side branch of the Su family, and you have the elders of your hometown as witnesses, and the tablet and genealogy of the ancestral hall can also be used as evidence. The side branch of the Su family, both parents are dead and lonely, at this time, there are outsiders who take advantage of the family property left by your father and mother, as a member of the Su family, how can I sit idly by. Others give more than 1,000 taels, at most 2,000 taels, and I give 3,000 taels and 1 acres, and everyone will say that I am benevolent and righteous. β
"You don't want to sell it to me, you insist on selling it to other people? That must be the other party's use of unscrupulous means, and when you go to the yamen, you meet the magistrate, and I am the one who occupies the words, and he will only have a bad reputation for bullying the weak and taking advantage of the weak. Although ten acres of spiritual land is tempting, it is not worth exchanging the reputation of the family, and your spiritual field cannot be sold out except for me. β
Su Hongda talked eloquently, he held these words in his heart for a long time, and today he was finally able to vomit quickly, and his mood was very comfortable.
Even if there is a hostile takeover in modern times, not to mention the Fengguo in the feudal society, Su Hongda, who does not spare money, insists on using money to smash the moral high ground, he is right, unless he does not plan to sell Lingtian, he can only sell it to him.
"What are you for, ten acres of spiritual land is nothing in the eyes of the Su family, it is worth your big fight, it takes two or three years to lay out, and it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver?" Su Chengye's surprise was true.
Su Hongda didn't answer directly, and said lightly: "You don't have to know what is behind it, as long as you know that you can get a lot of income, how about it, have you thought about it?"
"I really can't think of a reason to refuse, and I can't think of what to do after refusing, but I really don't want to sell Lingtian to you, I hate you very much. Su Chengye said very seriously.
Su Hongda, who put away the pretentiousness, had a mask-like smile on his face, and his answer seemed to have been expected, "My good cousin, let's not talk about Lingtian first, I came to visit today for a very important matter, and in two days it will be the day when Sufeng County will hold a disaster relief meeting, it can be said that this year's disaster relief meeting is the largest in history, and people with heads and faces in the entire Sufeng County will participate, and if they can perform at the disaster relief meeting, the road will be much smoother in the future." Whether it is to participate in the imperial examination and embark on a career in office, or to be a rich man in Sufeng County with peace of mind, it is beneficial to know more of the big names in Sufeng County. β
"You don't know, how many people want to participate in the disaster relief meeting now, but it's not what they want, there is no invitation written by the county magistrate, they can only communicate with the puzzle peak as in previous years. Your parents are dead, and you have a deep prejudice against the Su family, so you can be regarded as lonely and helpless in Sufeng County. However, the Su family has no prejudice against you, and my cousin has prepared a generous gift for you - an invitation to the disaster relief meeting. β
"The participants of this year's disaster relief meeting are more than ten times that of previous years, but how many people are there in Sufeng County, not to mention ten times, a hundred times is also 'hard to find', you have neither family connections, nor literary fame, I have worked hard for this invitation. β
The Disaster Relief Conference is an annual event in Sufeng County, presided over by Shu Ziyu of the county magistrate, and has been held for many years, and Su Chengye still knows it. He also knows the rules of the Disaster Relief Society, and when he goes, he has to donate money and food, which is only a small matter for those who are eligible to participate, but it is a big thing for him who is in debt.
"The invitation written by the magistrate himself, it is not okay not to go. Su Hongda said softly.
was already in debt to loan sharks, and he was still owed money and food for disaster relief, Su Hongda made up his mind to drive himself to a dead end, so that he had to compromise.
