"Master Chen, what should we do now?" asked the head of the Qin family.
"What else can I do? I'll go to the Xu Mansion tomorrow morning and make amends!" Chen Yanhe shook his sleeves angrily and strode away.
After Chen Yanhe left, the head of the Li family and the head of the Qin family looked at each other, with a flash of hatred in their eyes.
"What do you say?" asked the head of the Li family.
"Although Xu Que killed you and my two sons, the incident was also caused by our greed. Tomorrow morning the two of us will go to the Xu Mansion with generous gifts. As for the Chen family..." The head of the Qin family didn't finish his words and just did it. An act of estrangement.
"Okay, it's settled!" The head of the Li family nodded in agreement: "Tomorrow, you and I will each bring two thousand taels, and then we will bring another two thousand taels as a spare!"
"Do you need to bring the land deed?" The head of the Qin family asked tentatively.
"Why are you bringing that thing? Beimang's army is here. Do you think anyone will care about your land?" the head of the Li family scolded.
"You can't say that. I've asked before that Xu Que would rather have acres of land than gold and silver." The head of the Qin family said with embarrassment.
"Is there such a thing?" The head of the Li family was shocked: "Then Xu Que is not a fool, is he? Beimang's army has occupied the outside, what does he want with so much land?"
"I don't know. Anyway, many people say so privately..."
The head of the Li family couldn't understand, but then he thought about it and laughed again.
"Why are you laughing?" asked the confused head of the Qin family.
"Are you stupid? How much fertile land can you buy with two thousand taels? Since he likes farmland, then give him the piece of land near Nanshan that your family and I have." The head of the Li family said with a smile.
"Yes, that piece of land is very close to the Chen family anyway. It's better to use that piece of land in exchange for temporary safety!"
What they didn’t know was that after the Beimang army withdrew from Zheyang County, these families who had traded their land for their lives were all fooled...
…
early morning
Xu Que walked out of the room with two panda eyes. He wanted to have a good sleep at this moment, but time did not allow it, so he had no choice but to walk towards the main hall holding a stack of rice paper.
And when Xu Que stepped into the main hall, in addition to the head of the Qin family and the head of the Li family, there were more than a dozen families waiting here...
"Young Master Xu is finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time." A family head named Yan said with his hands.
"Yes, I came here specially to visit Young Master Xu. I hope Young Master Xu can understand my feelings." Another family head named Peng agreed.
As everyone was flattering him, the corners of Xu Que's eyes twitched, and he was almost lulled to sleep by these people's words...
Xu Que quickly shouted: "Okay, you don't need to flatter me like this. Why are you here? I also know that if you continue talking like this, no one will be able to move to the new city!"
Xu Que's words instantly caused all the family heads to shut up and sit back in their seats.
Seeing each family head sitting down honestly, Xu Que handed out pages of rice paper to these family heads.
But when he saw the heads of the Qin and Li families, Xu Que's hand paused, and then he took out two blank rice papers from his arms.
"Xu Que, what do you mean?" asked the head of the Li family, holding a blank rice paper.
"Don't be anxious, two family heads. This is prepared for you alone. Let's talk about our prices after I finish discussing with all the family heads!" Xu Que showed an incomprehensible smile.
"You are treating me differently!" The Qin family leader couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to leave.
But before he had even taken two steps, he was caught by Patriarch Li. After Patriarch Li said something in Patriarch Qin's ear, Patriarch Qin suppressed his anger and returned to his seat.
Xu Que didn't care about them. If they left, it would save him trouble...
"Family heads, this is a courtyard specially prepared by me, Xu Que, for all of you. The price is not very expensive, and the facilities inside are complete. I guarantee you will like it."
"Little Master Xu, isn't this price a bit high? The other courtyards in Sanjin don't have half the price..." said a family head named Zhang.
Xu Que knew what these people were thinking and did not hide anything. After all, they would know if the money was worth the money after they went there, so he told him bluntly: "Master Zhang, right? You have seen the other courtyard built in the west of the new city. No? If you don’t think it’s worth it, then you can choose to live in an ordinary house, but I, Xu Que, still have to say ugly things first. If you regret it, I won’t give you back the money to rent an ordinary house.”
"Young Master Xu, can we go and see it? Things that cannot be seen always make people uneasy." The head of the Peng family stood up and asked.
Xu Que made a gesture of invitation: "Excuse me, but I want to tell the head of the Peng family first that there is no way to enter without a warrant from Commander Mo. So, when you get the warrant and come back from watching, there must be no such thing in these other courtyards." ”
Xu Que's words were not alarmist, but a real reminder to the other party that after all, he was really not afraid that no one would rent these other courtyards.
The head of the Peng family and several other family heads looked at each other and immediately understood the meaning of Xu Que's words, and several people no longer hesitated and directly filled in the detailed number of people and the price of the purchased house.
Seeing that several family heads had already begun to write, those who were watching also began to fill in the form.
As the family heads filled out the forms one by one, Xu Que immediately called Douzi and the others to work.
"This is a document order. With it, you can go to Governor Mo to get the deeds for the houses where you live. Remember, you must not lose this thing!" Xu Que reminded with a smile.
"Young Master Xu, apart from the numbers, this order does not indicate our identities. How could Mr. Mo County know what kind of residence we choose?"
Xu Que glanced at the head of the Yan family, nodded with satisfaction and said: "This brand is called a number plate, and what you reported just now is information. Only when these two things correspond, the county government will issue a house deed. Now you understand. ?”
"I see, it's so convenient. Yan has been taught a lesson!" The head of the Yan family bowed his hand.
After sending each family head away, Xu Que asked people to send the forms to the government office for registration. After all, it was only a small amount of money...
Seeing that there was no one in the main hall, the head of the Li family took the lead and asked: "Xu Que, is it our turn now?"
"Well, it belongs to you two." Xu Que looked at the two of them with a smile: "You two are different from those families, and your house must be better than theirs, so this rice paper is for you to fill out."
"What do you mean?" The head of the Qin family was surprised: "Let us fill it out ourselves? Don't we have a choice?"
When the head of the Li family saw that the head of the Qin family was about to get angry again, he immediately understood what Xu Que wanted to do. He quickly grabbed the head of the Qin family, smiled and said to Xu Que: "Xu Que, we were wrong before, and we also broke with the Chen family. Okay, this is a small apology, I hope you won’t care about our previous mistakes.”
Seeing the Li family head take out a stack of land deeds, Xu Que took it with a smile: "Li family head, how embarrassing is this? Since the Li family head understands, then I, Xu Que, will also be a good person."
Before the head of the Li family could understand, Xu Que once again took out a stack of already written shopping lists from his arms.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of Patriarch Li and Patriarch Qin twitched. It turned out that this boy had been ready for a long time... just waiting for them to jump on their own!
But when he saw the purchase form above, Patriarch Li asked in confusion: "Why is our form different from other owners? And the price is much more expensive than theirs?"
Xu Que smiled and explained: "Of course, you are in a first-class residential compound, and theirs is in second- and third-class residences. Can this be the same?"
"Then can we choose the second-class one?" Head Li asked cautiously.
"Okay, but don't regret it!" Xu Que smiled and took out two pieces of rice paper again: "These are second-class ones, and I will give you this order."
Seeing Xu Que's operation, the head of the Li family and the head of the Qin family were dumbfounded. Could it be that they got it so easily? Shouldn't we no longer embarrass them?
How would they know that after Xu Que saw the stack of land deeds, he no longer planned to trick them. After all, the stack of land deeds was worth much more than silver.
After both of them filled out the form, the Qin family leader stood up with a blushing face and came to Xu Que: "Although we still hate you very much, we also know that it is actually caused by our own greed. This thing is mine. The Qin family thanks you for your kindness."
