Episode 130
He saw Zhao Dequan and Wei Changju standing at the door, and hurriedly called them into the room.

"Village chief, Changjue is here, come in quickly, don't just stand outside the door."

Wei Changjue and Zhao Dequan followed Wang Laoshi into the main room. Although it was dark at the moment, they could still see something faintly.

After entering the main room, Wei Changju rolled his eyes and looked around Wang Laoshi's house, only to see that Wang Laoshi's family was indeed poor, as poor as the mountain temple she lived in, and the wood on the eaves was moldy. It was broken, the windows were tattered, a layer of window paper had been torn apart by the wind, the door of the room was ajar, and there was no decent furniture in the room, not even a chair.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the main room, there was a heart-piercing coughing sound from the room.

When Zhao Dequan heard the coughing sound, he asked Wang Laoshi, "brother honestly, how is your mother's illness? Why is the cough so severe?"

When mentioning his old lady's illness, Wang Laoshi shook his head in worry and sighed.

"Hey, Brother Village Chief, you also know about my mother's illness. She took so many medicines before, but it didn't improve at all. This morning, Chunlan went out to dig some plantains and came back to boil water, but my mother refused to swallow it. Go down, drink it into your mouth and then spit it out, it's really worrying."

Seeing Wang Laoshi sighing in worry, Wei Changjue hurriedly said a few words of relief: "Uncle Wang, don't worry too much. With you and Aunt Chunlan taking care of her so carefully, Grandma Wang will recover from her illness sooner or later."

After finishing speaking, Wei Changju handed the things he had brought to Wang Laoshi.

"Uncle Wang, I didn't bring anything good when I came to see Grandma Wang. You just take these eggs and pork and cook them for Grandma Wang to nourish her body on weekdays."

Wang Laoshi saw Wei Changjue handing over a scrambled egg and a large piece of pork.

So much, he was really embarrassed to accept it, so he shirked and said: "Changqu, why do you bring so many things, this porridge must have twenty or thirty eggs, and this piece of pork must have a dozen or so. Jin, how much does it cost, your mother only brought over a dozen eggs here at noon today, you should bring these things back."

Wei Changju really didn't like to persuade people to accept gifts, so she turned her eyebrows to look at Zhao Dequan, and said, "Uncle Village Chief, please help persuade Uncle Wang, these eggs and pork are not good things, they can't be spent. A few dollars."

"Honest brother, this is a wish from Chang Hee, so you don't have to refuse it, just accept it."

After Zhao De had finished speaking, Wang Laoshi was too embarrassed to push back, so he accepted what Wei Changjue had brought.

At this time, Mrs. Yu came out with two round wooden stools, and she handed the round wooden stools to Wei Changqu and Zhao Dequan.

"Brother Village Chief, Changjue, sit down, what's the matter, let's sit down and talk."

Wei Changhe looked down at the log stool that Mrs. Yu handed over. What kind of stool is this? It is simply two wooden stakes cut out with a saw.

This time I came here specifically to discuss the purchase of land. After sitting down, Wei Changju didn’t give in, and straight to the point, he said to Wang honestly: “Uncle Wang, I’m here tonight to discuss the purchase of land. Let’s let the village chief uncle Be a witness from the side."

"Yes." Wang Laoshi nodded in agreement, looked at Wei Changjue, and said, "Changjue, I will sell you those acres of land. Uncle can rest assured."

It was getting late, and since Wang Laoshi had already decided to sell the land, Wei Changqu directly negotiated the price with him.

She said indifferently: "Uncle Wang, according to the price I have inquired about, Xunchang's arable land is about five taels of silver per mu. I think the few acres of land in your house are good land, and every piece of land is well-maintained. Yes, and the soil is fertile and close to the village, I will pay you six taels of silver per mu to buy your land, see what the price is."

At this juncture, Wei Changjue was willing to pay six taels of silver, which was already high.

No matter how good the few acres of Wang Laoshi's land is, and how well-planned it is, if it is sold to someone else, the price will not be higher than six taels of silver.

Wang honestly knew that Wei Changjue was helping his family on purpose.

Wei Changqu offered a price of six taels of silver, his voice trembling, and said, "Changqu, uncle is willing to sell six taels of silver for an acre of land, but isn't your price too high? Uncle can't sell the land to you without conscience for money, and let you suffer."

"Yes, Chang Hee, my aunt's family is in a hurry to spend money, but it can't let you suffer, right. Six taels of silver per mu of land is really high. You said that you are a girl's family, and it is not easy to make money." Wang After telling the truth, Mrs. Yu also sidetracked.

Wei Changqu stared at the two with a faint smile on his face.

This Wang Laoshi's family really answered the word "honesty", simple and honest, very straightforward.

Wei Changjue shook his head slightly, and said, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Chunlan, the few acres of land in your house are really good, and I have seen it too, so I have settled for six taels of silver per mu, so I can afford it. That's why you dare to offer such a price, so don't hesitate any longer."

Now is the time to spend money, seeing that Wei Changju insisted, it was inconvenient for Wang Laoshi to say anything.

He nodded in agreement, and said: "Since that's the case, let's make it so."

After negotiating the price, Wei Changqu went back to the mountain temple that night to take the silver and send it to Wang Laoshi.

Wang Laoshi’s family has eight mu of land, six taels of silver per mu, and a total of 48 taels. Wei Changjue paid the money for the land with one hand, and Zhao Dequan witnessed from the side. The title deed was handed over to Wei Changqu.

After discussing the business of buying the land, Wei Changjue and Zhao Dequan went into the room again to visit Wang Laoshi's old mother.

After asking about the cold and warmth for a while, the two made a gesture to leave. Mrs. Yu wanted to take care of her mother-in-law, so Wang Laoshi sent the two of them out of the house.

After returning to the mountain temple, it was getting late.

The pot of hot water that Jiang shi had previously boiled was already cold. When she saw Wei Changjue coming back, she hurriedly added a fire to the stove, reheated the water in the pot, and then fetched water for Wei Changjue. Go behind the curtain to freshen up.

After a busy day, after grooming and washing, the tiredness and tiredness of the body were relieved a lot. The three of them lay on the bed and chatted for a while. At some point, Wei Changjue fell asleep.

On the second day, as usual, Wei Changju went into the mountain, and after returning to the mountain temple for breakfast, Su Cheng drove a carriage to pick her up to Zuixiangfang.

But at noon that day, there was a commotion under the big cypress tree in Shili Village. A group of women who hadn't worked in the field sat around and made a fuss under the big cypress tree, chatting about things about the parents and the west.

But what these women chatted most enthusiastically was about the land sale of Wang Laoshi's family.

In just one night, the news that Wei Changju bought eight acres of land from Wang Laoshi's family spread in the village. You can guess with your toes that it must be Zhao Dequan's naughty wife, the Jiao family.
