Chen Ming did not show weakness.
"I paid the deposit yesterday. I gave Li Si a deposit of fifty taels, and I agreed to pay it today. I have already brought the money."
Chen Ming patted his chest, indicating that the money was already on him, "Little brother, where is your fourth brother? Let your fourth brother come, and I will talk to your fourth brother."
Sun Wu apologized awkwardly: "I don't know either. I just arrived this morning, and I haven't seen him yet."
The couple opposite didn't agree: "Little brother, don't you want to sell your house? Why don't you just sell it to whoever gives you the money? Don't ask him for your fifty-tael deposit. Yes, I’ll give it to you, I bought this house.”
"You have to be reasonable as a person." Chen Ming reasoned with him, "I made the decision first."
"Yes, everything is on a first-come, first-served basis. Brother, this guest made a reservation with my fourth brother yesterday. I am not good either..." Sun Wu looked helpless.
Mrs. Bao also yelled: "We came here first, and we paid the money first, why are you trying to rob me?"
With this sentence, the woman in the couple opposite stopped doing it.
"Just because we can offer more money than you." The woman yelled to Sun Wu, "You just said one thousand three hundred taels, and we will offer one thousand four hundred taels, in cash, in full."
Sun Wu's eyes lit up.
In the blink of an eye, one hundred taels more.
Chen Ming's eyes widened.
It was still one thousand one hundred and fifty taels last night, but when it came time to pay, it became one thousand four hundred taels?
"Li Si made an agreement with me yesterday for only one thousand one hundred and fifty taels." Chen Ming blew his beard and glared.
The man opposite smiled: "The principle of this business is that the one with the highest price gets it. Whoever pays more will sell to him. I will pay one thousand four hundred taels." He sneered and glanced sideways at Chen Ming, mocking Zhao Ranruo. Jie: "If you sell more money, will your fourth brother still blame you?"
Sun Wu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no. As we do business, of course the more money the better. Who wants us to rely on this to make a living? Brother, I hope you will be considerate."
This is going to ruin the previous agreement between Chen Ming and Li Si.
Mr. Bao shouted: "If you can give it, we can also give it. We will give you one thousand five hundred taels."
Chen Ming's face looked very ugly.
This is a starting price.
But yesterday Xu Wanning said that this house is worth at least 1,800 taels. If you can buy it for 1,500 taels, it won't be a loss.
The woman on the other side refused to do it: "We will pay one thousand six hundred taels."
Sun Wu looked at Chen Ming again: "Brother..."
People fight for a face, and trees fight for a skin.
Can't lose.
Chen Ming was furious: "I will pay one thousand, seven hundred taels."
"One thousand eight hundred taels."
"One thousand nine hundred taels." Chen Ming shouted again.
"Two thousand one hundred taels."
The two men were facing each other, while Bao and the woman beside them were also shouting. No one would give in to the other, no one would admit defeat.
How can you lose in this situation?
A man loses face and does not have the strength in his pocket.
When a woman loses, she loses face because she fails to marry a rich and good husband.
The two parties exchanged words with each other, and the price was raised to two thousand five hundred taels.
It was Chen Ming who shouted last.
But after he shouted, he felt a little regretful.
Two thousand five hundred taels, the price is a bit too high.
He only has one thousand one thousand, and he still needs to raise one thousand fourteen. How can he collect such a large amount of money?
He looked at the other party expectantly, and when the other party shouted again, he stopped shouting.
never mind.
But who would have thought that the couple opposite lowered their heads and said a few words, and then said, "We don't want to buy it." Then the two of them left cursing.
Chen Ming's heart sank suddenly.
Mrs. Bao was in high spirits and spat at the couple's leaving backs: "Bah, you are trying to argue with us. You are still a bit immature. You know who we are!"
Sun Wu looked happy: "Brother, congratulations, this house is yours."
Chen Ming: "..."
After giving all the money he had to Sun Wu, Chen Ming pulled the happy Bao family out of the house in a hurry.
"We still need one thousand four hundred taels. Where can we collect this money?" Chen Ming sighed and blamed Bao a little: "If you had asked me to give it a try, I wouldn't have fought with anyone. Two thousand five hundred taels." , this house is too expensive.”
Mr. Bao is open-minded, "This man has a face, and a tree has its skin. Why should they fight with us? We used to be coy, but now we want it? You don't even think about it, we are different now. Our daughter She is the concubine of the Marquis Mansion. What are you afraid of with one thousand four hundred taels? Ask your daughter for it."
That's all it can do now.
When Mrs. Bao told her what had happened, Chen Mianmian almost lost her temper.
"Two thousand five hundred taels? Why are you so confused? The house is worth only two thousand taels at most. You have been deceived. The seller must have brought that couple there on purpose and deliberately raised the price to irritate you." Chen Mianmian My heart is beating a little fast.
Mr. Bao: "What should I do? I've given you all the money."
Chen Mianmian was extremely angry: "Where did you get one thousand four hundred taels from?"
She has no money.
Mrs. Bao made the first suggestion: "How about borrowing it from Xu Wanning? Didn't she happily borrow two hundred taels yesterday?"
"I borrowed it once, and you want to borrow it a second time? I'm embarrassed to leave this face." Chen Mianmian disagreed.
Besides, borrowing Xu Wanning's money requires interest. Two hundred taels will cost fifty taels. If you borrow another one thousand, four hundred taels, why not three hundred and fifty taels? Adding this together, the house outside will cost 2,900 taels.
Too bad.
"Otherwise, you go to the Marquis and cry about your poverty. The Marquis likes you so much. If you ask, he will definitely give you money." Mrs. Bao made the second suggestion.
"I have only been married for less than a month, and now I ask Master Hou for money to buy a house for my mother's family. How do you want Master Hou to see me? How do you want the people in the house to see me?" Chen Mianmian will not do this. Beat her to death. Neither will do this.
"Then what should I do? I gave you all the money. If you don't give me the rest, I won't refund the money you gave me!" Mrs. Bao muttered, "Aren't you in charge of the housekeeping now? How about you leak some out from between your fingers?"
"No." Chen Mianmian refused for the third time.
Now Mrs. Bao was also angry, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work. If it doesn't work, why don't you give me some of the treasures in your house? I'll pawn them to pay back the money."
Chen Mianmian thought about it and settled on this fourth suggestion.
She took the opportunity to look towards Duobao Pavilion, which was filled with all kinds of jade ornaments, a dazzling array.
With so many ornaments, two or three missing items should not be discovered.
Seeing Chen Mianmian nodding in agreement, Mrs. Bao immediately took one piece and wrapped it up: "Mom, I won't take too much. I will take one piece today, one tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. No one will find out."
Chen Mianmian hummed.
"When you pawn, you should pay the money immediately and exchange the house and land deeds to avoid long nights and dreams."
"Mianmian, my dear daughter, it's not in vain that my mother loves you so much. But if my parents buy the house, it will be yours a hundred years later." Mrs. Bao took the things and left the house.
Chen Ming didn't go in. It would be better for mother and daughter to talk about this kind of thing.
Seeing Mr. Bao bring out the things, Chen Ming's heart finally fell.
When something is fast.
Sold for three hundred taels of silver.
Compared with one thousand fourteen, it is still one thousand one short.
Chen Mingxin raised his head again.
I have to sell four or five more pieces to get it all together.
Chen Ming was so occupied with his thoughts that he didn't even know he bumped into someone.
"Brother." The person who was hit smiled instead of angry, and was overjoyed: "I found you."
It's Li Si.
Chen Ming's face darkened: "You've done me a terrible job."
Li Si was a little embarrassed: "Brother Chen, I had something to do and I went out for a trip. I didn't have time to tell Sun Wu. I just found out that Sun Wu did this. You said this bastard. I scolded him well. A meal. How can you do this!"
"What's the use of scolding him?" Chen Ming muttered: "Can you get away with this one thousand four hundred taels by scolding him?"
Li Si sighed helplessly: "Brother, I really can't do anything about this. Sun Wu and I are not brothers. We each paid half of the money for the house, and the money we sold was shared equally between the two of us. Otherwise, brother, I personally want five hundred taels less from you, okay?"
