"Boss Chu, I'm really sorry that we showed up so rashly. We mainly want to discuss with you the purchase of a house."
Chu Ping just saw that Chu Yi didn't seem to welcome the two people who came to the door, so he followed him into the main room of the old house. Now he heard what Lu Abo opposite said about buying a house, and thought of what he had just done outside the courtyard gate. At that time, the old couple also said that they were looking at houses in a nearby village. Could it be that the old couple had taken a fancy to their cousin's house and insisted on buying it?
Could it be that my cousin didn't agree, so he came to the door, so he casually said: "I won't sell it!"
Seeing that everyone in the hall turned to look at him, Chu Ping was a little confused. He took a closer look at his cousin's face and thought about it. Could it be that his cousin wanted to sell it?
My cousin and his family are planning to go to the county. Otherwise, why would he ask people to come into the courtyard to talk? Then he must have ruined his cousin's good deeds!
Thinking of this, Chu Ping gave Chu Yi a look that reassured him that he could handle it, then cleared his throat and said: "Old man, you have also seen that this house is so well-renovated, even the yard is paved with square tiles. , and a well was drilled in the backyard. What’s more, this is the ancestral home. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. How can we sell it at any time... But if you are sincere enough, uncle, you can take it for the sake of sincerity. Think about it again, the key is how sincere you are?"
After saying that, the old couple across from him seemed a little stunned, as if they didn't quite understand what he meant, so he added: "Sincerity, that is..." At this point, Chu Ping made a money gesture with his hand again, I should finally understand now.
Then Chu Ping looked at his cousin with a proud look on his face. Just as he was about to raise his eyebrows and pretend to be cool, he saw Chu Yizheng looking at him as if he were a fool. He was a little confused and turned to his cousin-in-law without knowing why. Seeing that Shen Luzhu looked like he was struggling to hold back his laughter, and even the expressions of the old couple opposite him were wrong, he became even more confused.
"What...did I say wrong?"
Lu Abo hurriedly said: "Little brother, you have misunderstood. We are not here to buy Boss Chu's house, but my family's house in the county. We want to sell it to Boss Chu."
"What?"
Chu Ping scratched his hair. He really didn't expect that in these years, he would still be chasing people to come to other people's homes. If he had to let others buy his own house, he wouldn't be able to sell it!
Lu Abo smiled and explained to Chu Ping, and continued to persuade Chu Yi: "We are old, our daughter has been married off long ago, and we only have a son by our side, but that boy... eh, he In this life, he has to rely on me and his mother-in-law to take care of him. For him, I even stopped the cloth shop that has been handed down from my family, and I only rely on the rent of the shop and my savings to live.
But the rent originally paid by the Yu family was lower, and now they have to occupy the shop for ten years. After going to the government, there is no need to talk about it. Now the Yu family is even more proud, and our whole family is miserable. Ansheng, I really can't stand it anymore. I gave them this shop for ten years and we accept it! Right now, all I want to do is sell the east courtyard as soon as possible to collect some money so that we can buy a house in the countryside so that our family of three can live and retire in peace.
But Boss Chu, you also know that it is extremely difficult to find a buyer for my house now. No one wants to have anything to do with the Yu family. I know you don’t want to, Boss Chu, but you and their family are different, Boss Chu. It's different, the Yu family doesn't dare to find trouble with you! Boss Chu, can you just think that you are helping our family? "
Lu Abo's wife seemed to have remembered something sad. She kept wiping the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand: "Yes, just help us. If the Yu family keeps doing this, we will always It’s okay for the couple to leave early, but I’m afraid that no one will take care of my son from now on, so what will he do on his own?”
The old lady of the Lu family behaved like this, which directly hit Shen Luzhu's radar. She was simply kidnapping her and Chu Yi morally, as if if they didn't help, they would be the culprits who killed them. With such a capable person, there's nothing he can do without confronting her. It really hurt the performance of their Yu family. To put it bluntly, it was not about bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
"Look at what auntie said, those who don't know think that our family has recruited you two. It's not us who occupy your shop, and it's not us who got a lease out of nowhere.
It's not us who are causing trouble for your family now. My husband-in-law just visited the shop once, so why does it sound like he has to be responsible for your son for the rest of his life? Madam, you have to see clearly that this injustice has its owner, and don't go to the wrong person. By then, both ends will be empty, and it won't be fun! "
When the old lady of the Lu family heard this, she suddenly stopped wiping her eyes with her hand, smiled awkwardly, and then called out kindly: "Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. If you can buy it, My house, it’s too late for me to be grateful, how can I ask you to take responsibility, don’t you think so?”
Lu Abo also hurriedly added: "The old lady can't speak. Boss Chu, boss lady, please be more considerate, but we are indeed desperate, otherwise we wouldn't be able to come to Boss Chu again and again for help."
Shen Luzhu continued: "Old man, you just said it yourself. People in the county are avoiding their homes for fear of getting dirty. Even in this situation, you still come to my husband again and again. , is it possible that Ruabo is bullying my husband-in-law to be honest, or does he think that our family is all stupid?"
"No, no, no, how dare we think like this? 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. , I don’t want to be a neighbor with the Yu family, but you believe me, old man. Although the Yu family is not a thing, there is no need to be hostile to everyone. His family owns a grocery store. If he offends the neighbors, After all, how will the business be done in the future? If you and he have no relationship in the past and have no enmity in the future, don't worry too much."
The old lady of the Lu family added again from the side: "Yes, yes, I heard that you are not friends with Ding Baotou in the Yamen? If you are really worried that the Yu family will cause trouble, call him Ding Baotou more often. How can I dare to cause trouble for you if you don't scare the Yu family to death when you come here as a guest? Besides, you have seen my east courtyard before. One hundred taels is really cheap. Not to mention in the county, it's hard to come across even in the town. It's a bargain if you buy this."
If the young couple hadn't changed their minds now and wanted to buy two houses of the Lu family, Shen Luzhu really wanted to kick out the old lady of the Lu family. He didn't know how this person could do it so accurately and annoyingly. Every step of the way, he stepped on his own lightning points.
Not wanting to hear what the other party said that he didn't like, Shen Luzhu said directly to Lu Abo: "Old man, let me tell you straight. It's not impossible for my family to buy your house, but we have a The request is that your house and shop must be sold to us together, but the house cannot still be in the shop."
Rua Bo's expression changed from one of surprise and joy at the beginning to one full of astonishment: "You! Boss Chu, is this what you mean?"
Chu Yi said calmly: "My wife has the final say in my family's affairs."
Shen Luzhu glanced at Chu Yi, smiled and continued: "Old man, you know that my family goes to the county town to do business. If we don't buy a shop, then no matter how good or cheap your house is, we won't be able to buy it." I will consider it, since we want to do business, then naturally the Yu family can’t continue to occupy the shop.”
"If I had a way to get rid of that guy named Yu, why would I bother asking people to buy my own house?"
Lu Abo was a little excited, feeling that the Chu family had no intention of buying their own house, otherwise why would they make such a request to embarrass him. You clearly don't want to buy it, but you still ask them to come into the courtyard to tell you, you are simply making a fool of yourself!
Shen Luzhu ignored the other party's excitement: "It's just to drive the Yu family out. I can tell you how to do it. But after it's done, for two hundred taels, the house and the shop will belong to my family."
"Two hundred taels! This is too little!"
The old couple originally planned to sell the house at a cheaper price, and in exchange for the money, the whole family could hide in the countryside and live a peaceful life. If they turned around, it would be best if the Yu family provoked Boss Chu. When the Chu family gets angry, they might ask Capt. Ding to take care of everyone named Yu. If not, they will wait until the fake lease expires.
No matter what, I can get away from the family named Yu as soon as possible, and sooner or later, the shop will be back in my hands, and then I can set a good price to sell it.
, this matter is settled, and they will not pursue the benefits taken by the Yu family over the years.
But at the moment, the only buyer they can think of actually only wants to buy them all for two hundred taels. This is really different from Ruabo's original plan.
The old lady of the Lu family also frowned and muttered: "You are taking advantage of the situation! In the county, you can buy half of it with only two hundred taels, but you still want to buy it all!"
The young couple had actually discussed how much money they wanted to spend on the Lu's shop before. At that time, they settled on the price Lu Abo initially gave, three hundred taels.
Chu Yi looked at his wife and thought that he must have been offended by the old couple of the Lu family just now, so he temporarily lowered the price. But it didn't matter, even if Shen Luzhu said twenty taels, he would still feel that his wife was right. Makes sense.
So he said calmly: "The sizes of the shops in the east courtyard and the west courtyard of your house are the same. There are even many more rooms in the east courtyard than in the west courtyard. Didn't Lu Abo say that the east courtyard was sold to us for a hundred taels? Those two rooms are not It’s exactly two hundred taels.”
"Then how can you calculate it like this? The two yards of my house combined are equivalent to a large yard of four yards. How can I buy it for only two hundred taels!"
After Chu Fang made a mistake, he never opened his mouth again. Seeing the atmosphere now, he knew it was time for him to show off: "One hundred taels can buy ten acres of the best farmland in our village. Two hundred taels to buy two yards of my old man's house, don't you think that's too little? Old man, do you really want to sell the house? You obviously said one hundred taels each, so buying two is just two hundred taels! You Why is it too little?”
The old lady of the Lu family said anxiously: "How can we compare this farmland with the shops facing the county town? Farmland cannot be traded! Besides, our house and shop are ancestral homes passed down from generation to generation. Didn't you just say that? , the price of this ancestral house is naturally different from others."
Chu Ping said thoughtfully: "The ancestral home..."
