Chapter 194: Two hundred taels
"Boss Chu, we came to the door recklessly, I'm really embarrassed, I mainly want to discuss with you about buying a house."
Chu Ping just saw that Chu Yi didn't seem to be very welcome to the two people who came to the door, so he followed him into the hall of the old mansion, and now listened to Lu Abo on the opposite side of what he said about buying a house, and thought of when he was outside the courtyard gate, the old couple also said that they were looking at the house in a nearby village, and they said that the old couple had fallen in love with their cousin's house and insisted on buying it?
It's not that his cousin didn't agree, so he came to the door, so he said casually: "Don't sell!"
Seeing that the people in the hall were all turning their heads to look at him, Chu Ping was a little confused, and then carefully looked at his cousin's face, and pondered, could it be that his cousin wanted to sell it?
It's also that my cousin's family is planning to go to the county, otherwise why would he ask someone to come into the hospital to talk, then he shouldn't be a good thing to spoil his cousin!
Thinking of this, Chu Ping handed Chu Yi a look that he could handle it with confidence, then cleared his throat and said, "Uncle, you have also seen that this house is so well repaired, even the yard is paved with square bricks, and a well is drilled in the backyard. What's more, this is an ancestral house, our family has lived here for generations, how can we sell it...... But if you are sincere enough, uncle, you can also look at the face of sincerity, and then think about it, the key is how sincere you are?"
After speaking, the old couple on the other side seemed to be a little stunned, as if they didn't understand what they meant, so they added: "Sincerity, it's ......" Speaking of this, Chu Ping gestured with his hand to make a gesture of some money, and his heart should have understood now.
Then Chu Ping looked at his cousin with a smug face, and just wanted to raise his eyebrows and pretend to be handsome, but he saw Chu Yizheng looking at himself with a foolish look, a little confused, and turned to his cousin-in-law for some reason, seeing that Shen Luzhu looked very hard with a smile, and even the expressions of the old couple opposite were not right, so he was even more confused.
"I...... What did you say wrong?"
Lu Abo hurriedly said: "Little brother, you misunderstood, we are not here to buy Boss Chu's house, it is my family's house in the county, and we want to sell it to Boss Chu."
"What?"
Chu Ping grabbed his hair, he really didn't expect that he would still be chasing and running to other people's houses these years, and he couldn't sell it unless he let others buy his own house!
Lu Abo smiled and explained to Chu Ping, and continued to persuade Chu Yi: "Our old couple is old, and our daughter has already married off, and we only have a son by our side, but that kid ...... Eh, he has to count on me to take care of his aunt all his life, and for him I even stopped the cloth village that has been handed down from the family, and only lives on the rent and savings of the shop.
But the rent originally given by the Yu family is lower, and now it is even more necessary to occupy the shop for ten years in vain, and it is not used at all when it goes to the government, and now the Yu family is even more proud, and our family is not able to live in peace, I really can't stand it, this shop is for ten years for them to use, we admit it! Right now, I just want to sell the east courtyard as soon as possible, get some money, and buy a house in the countryside, so that our family of three will live and retire in peace.
But Boss Chu, you also know that my house now wants to find a buyer, it's more difficult than climbing to the sky, no one wants to have anything to do with the Yu family, I know Boss Chu, you don't want to, but Boss Chu, you are different from other families, and the Yu family doesn't dare to find fault with you! Boss Chu, you think you're helping our family, can you succeed?"
Lu Abo's wife, as if she remembered something sad, kept wiping the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand: "Yes, just help us, and then ask the Yu family to toss like this, it's nothing for our old couple to go ahead of time, I'm afraid that there will be no one to take care of my son in the future, what can he do himself!"
The old lady of the Lu family behaved like this, and directly poked Shen Luzhu's thunder point, it was simply a moral kidnapping of her and Chu Yi, as if they didn't help, they would be the culprit who harmed them.
"Look at what the aunt said, I don't know and think it's our family that recruited you two, it's not us who occupy your shop, and it's not us who somehow got a lease deed.
Now it's not us who are tossing your family in peace, my father-in-law just went to see the shop once, why does it sound like you have to be responsible for your son for life? This injustice has a debtor and a master, auntie, you have to see it clearly, don't find the wrong person, when the time comes, both ends will be empty, but it won't be fun!"
When the old lady of the Lu family heard this, she slammed her hand that was wiping the corners of her eyes, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then called cordially: "Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. If you can buy my house, it's too late for me to be grateful, how can I make you responsible, don't you say?"
Lu Abo also hurriedly made up for it: "The old woman can't speak, Boss Chu, the boss lady, you have to bear more, but we are indeed desperate, otherwise we can't come to Boss Chu for help three times or twice."
Shen Luzhu continued: "Uncle, you just said it yourself, those people in the county town are afraid of getting into trouble, this is the situation, you have also found my father-in-law three times and several times, is it possible that Lu Abo is bullying my father-in-law to be honest, or is our family stupid?"
"No, no, no, how dare we think so, we really just want to sell the East Courtyard to your family, otherwise we wouldn't have told Boss Chu a price of one hundred taels, right? I know you have concerns, you want to be neighbors with the surname Yu, but you believe my old man, although the Yu family is not a thing, but there is no need to be bad with anyone, his family is a grocery store, if you offend the neighbors, then how will the business be done in the future, you have no relationship with him in the past and no enmity in the near future, don't worry too much."
The old lady of the Lu family added again, "Yes, yes, I heard that you didn't have a good relationship with Ding Zhutou in the yamen? If you are really worried that the Yu family has nothing to do, when the time comes, you will ask Ding Zhutou to come to the house as a guest, and if you don't scare the Yu family to death, where will you dare to trouble! Besides, I said that I had seen it before, and one hundred taels was really cheap, not to mention in the county, it was difficult to encounter even in the town, and this purchase was a bargain."
If it weren't for the fact that the young couple had changed their minds now and wanted to buy the two mansions of the Lu family, Shen Luzhu really wanted to blow out the old lady of the Lu family, and I don't know how this person did it and annoyed people, and he could accurately step on his own thunder point.
didn't want to listen to what the other party said that he didn't like to hear, Shen Luzhu directly said to Lu Abo: "Uncle, let me tell you directly, it's not impossible for your house to ask my family to buy it, but we have a request, your house and shop must be sold to us together, but the Yu family's house can't still be in the shop."
Lu Abo's expression changed from surprise and happiness at the beginning, and instantly turned into a face full of astonishment: "You! Boss Chu, that's what you mean?"
Chu Yi said lightly: "My family's affairs, my wife has the final say."
Shen Luzhu glanced at Chu Yi, smiled and continued: "Uncle, you know, my family goes to the county seat to do business, if you don't buy a shop, then no matter how good your house is, no matter how cheap it is, we won't consider it, since you want to do business, then the Yu family naturally can't continue to occupy the shop."
"If I had a way to blow the surname Yu away, why bother begging people everywhere to buy their own house!"
Lu Abo was a little emotional, and felt that the Chu family didn't plan to buy their own house at all, otherwise how could they make such a request to embarrass him. I obviously don't want to buy it, but I asked them to come into the courtyard and say that I was just playing with myself!
Shen Luzhu didn't pay attention to the other party's excited emotions: "It's just to blow out the Yu family, I can tell you the way, but after the matter is completed, two hundred taels, the house and the shop will be mine."
"Two hundred taels! That's too little!"
The old couple was originally thinking that their family would sell the house cheaper first, and exchange the money for the family, and the family would hide in the countryside and live their own life in peace, if they turned back, it would be best for the Yu family to provoke this Chu boss, and the Chu family was angry, maybe they would ask Ding Zhutou to clean up the surname Yu, if not, they would wait until the fake lease expired.
No matter what, I can get away from the family surnamed Yu as soon as possible, and the shop can be returned to my own hands sooner or later, and then I will sell it at a good price
, this matter can be regarded as solved, and they will not pursue the advantages that have been taken by the Yu family over the years.
But at the moment, the only buyer they could think of was that they only wanted to buy them all for two hundred taels, which was too far from what Lu Abo had calculated.
The old lady of the Lu family also frowned and muttered, "You guys are taking advantage of the fire to rob! In the county, you can buy half of it for two hundred taels, and you still want to buy them all!"
The little couple had actually discussed how much silver they wanted to use to buy the Lu family's shop, and the price set at that time was the price that Lu Abo gave at the beginning, three hundred taels.
Chu Yi looked at his wife, and knew that he must have been angry with the old couple of the Lu family, so he temporarily cut the price again, but it didn't matter, even if Shen Luzhu said twenty taels, he would feel that his wife was reasonable.
So he said lightly: "The size of the shops in the east courtyard and the west courtyard of your house is the same, and even the east courtyard has a lot more rooms than the west courtyard.
"Then how can it be counted like this, the two courtyards of my house together can be worth a big courtyard with four entrances, how can I buy it for two hundred taels!"
Chu Fang just made a fuss, he didn't open his mouth again, and now seeing this atmosphere, he knew that it was time to play on his own: "One hundred taels can buy ten acres of the best arable land in our village, and two hundred taels can buy two yards of the old uncle's house, are you too little?" Uncle, do you really want to sell the house, obviously you said one hundred taels, so isn't it two hundred taels to buy two! Why are you too little?"
The old lady of the Lu family said anxiously: "How can this cultivated land be compared with the shops on the street in the county seat, and the cultivated land cannot be traded!" Besides, our house and shop are ancestral houses that have been passed down from generation to generation, didn't you just say that the price of this ancestral house is naturally different from the other one."
Chu Ping said thoughtfully: "Ancestral house, ......"
