Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 157
Lu Cheng went to Xu's to borrow money, and the land was very smooth.

One is that Xu has Xiaoqianliang's family property, so lending 300 taels will not affect his family's livelihood. Second, Lu Cheng can take care of the fruit trees. Buying an orchard is a very safe business, and Xu certainly supports it.

In the morning of the next day, Lu Cheng went to Wu's house as promised, but unexpectedly in the hall, he saw an unexpected acquaintance.

Because this was at Wu's house, Lu Cheng didn't show any hostility, he just pretended that Feng Nian was not in the living room, so he went up to greet Master Wu who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, "How is your health?"

Mr. Wu suffered from heart disease, and now he has found the most suitable new owner for the orchard. Although Mr. Wu is a little regretful that the orchard will be sold, he is more pleased that the disease will naturally heal, and he nodded with a smile , pointed to Feng Nian and introduced him: "This is the eldest son of Feng's family from Changlong Restaurant in Fucheng. He heard that I wanted to sell the orchard, so he came here to inquire about the price."

Lu Cheng and the old man looked at each other, and saw that the old man smiled amiably, as usual, as if he and Feng Nian were his guests, and his heart moved, so he also treated Feng Nian as a stranger, and talked with him indifferently. Feng Nian said hello.

Feng Nian gave him a disdainful look, then smiled and asked Master Wu: "This junior sincerely wants to manage the orchard, how much is your price?"

"This..." Master Wu stroked his beard and looked at the eldest son who was sitting beside him.

Uncle Wu didn't know that the old man and Lu Cheng had already set a price. They were both businessmen. Of course, he hoped that the garden could sell for more money, so he said to Lu Cheng and Feng Nian in a sophisticated way: "My father built the orchard with his own hands. The relationship is very strong. As usual, I have to sell it now, and of course I hope to sell the garden to someone who is sincere in taking over the garden, why don't you two tell me how much you think the garden is worth?"

If two people compete for it, the price will be high.

Feng Nian is rich and powerful, and he looked at Lu Cheng meaningfully: "Guan Lu, please in advance."

He had already made up his mind that no matter how much Lu Cheng paid, he would add 50 taels more.

Lu Cheng didn't hesitate, he cupped his hands to Master Wu and said, "Lu Cheng's family is poor, so he borrowed 300 taels from his relatives, including his family's savings, he made up a total of 350 taels, and I hope the master will make it happen."

Master Wu nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Uncle Wu immediately looked at Feng Nian.

"I'll offer 400 taels." Feng Nian said, waving his folding fan, and he was sure of winning.

Lu Cheng's expression remained unchanged, but Uncle Wu was a little disappointed. He estimated the price to be 400 taels, and the two of them were vying for the highest price, which was only so much. He couldn't help urging Lu Cheng: "What does Guanshi Lu say?" He hoped that Lu Cheng would increase the price.

Lu Cheng lowered his eyes and said, "350 taels is all I can afford."

He was very knowledgeable and interesting, Feng Nian showed joy on his face.

Uncle Wu buckled the armrest of the seat with his index finger. Just as he was about to finalize the matter, Mr. Wu finally made a move and looked at Feng Nian suspiciously: "I just decided to sell the garden yesterday morning. Mr. Feng is far away in Fucheng. news?"

Feng Nian said perfunctorily, "An old friend."

Master Wu was astonished, then shook his head, and said with emotion: "Mr. Feng's old friend is not honest. In fact, I decided to sell the garden to Lu Cheng yesterday at a price of 350 taels. Everyone in the town should know about it. Your old friend must also know it well. In this case, he still encourages you to compete with Lu Cheng. Is he looking down on my Wu family, thinking that we are ungrateful people, or is it he and Mr. Feng? Do you have a personal grudge, and deliberately use our hands to humiliate Mr. Feng?"

Hearing this, Feng Nian stood up in disbelief, looking between Mr. Wu and Lu Cheng: "Have you already discussed it?"

Master Wu nodded, and passed the eldest son a warning look by the way.

Lu Cheng stepped forward to thank you in due time: "Thanks to the trust of the master, Lu Cheng will take good care of the orchard and live up to your old trust."

To Feng Nian, who had just been slapped in the face, these words were undoubtedly salt in the wound. Jun's face turned pale and red, red and white again, and he wanted to continue the theory. Look at Master Wu and Lu Chenghuo's greasy looks like master and apprentice, Knowing that he couldn't change Master Wu's mind at all, besides, he would only humiliate himself, so he left angrily.

Master Wu lightly ordered the servant to see off the guests, and when Feng Nian was gone, he stopped laughing and reminded Lu Chengdao: "I will send someone to follow him, and I guess the informer will be found out in a few days, and then I will send someone to follow him." People tell you the background of the other party. This is the only way I can help you. Lu Cheng, you must be cautious in your actions in the future. You would rather suffer some anger than provoke villains because you are young and impulsive, because you don't know the other party. When will they suddenly jump out and stab you. It is easy to hide from the open spear, but hard to defend against the hidden arrow. If you were replaced by the next boss today, do you think you can be good?"

Of course he was aware of the grievances between the Lu family and the Feng family, and he had invited Feng Nian in just to vent his anger on Lu Cheng, but in the end, the old man looked at his eldest son with displeasure.As his eldest son, his business skills are enough, but he lacks a bit of human touch. Lu Cheng has worked for them for so many years, and he is also a servant and a friend. He would rather earn less than turn his elbows away.

Uncle Wu understood what the old man meant, and couldn't take it anymore, so he left first.

Lu Cheng was still pondering what the old man said, and couldn't figure out what enemies he had. Feng Nian was one, and Pei Jinghan barely counted as one, but no matter how much Lu Cheng didn't like Pei Jinghan, he knew that Pei Jinghan would never be free enough to use such low-class tricks to deal with him.Having no idea for a while, Lu Cheng first thanked the old man solemnly: "What the old man taught, Lu Cheng must take it to heart."

Master Wu hummed, and handed over the land deed that he had prepared in advance, and then ordered the housekeeper to invite the eldest son back, and went to the city with Lu Cheng to make a deposit.

On the way Lu Cheng and Uncle Wu entered the city, Feng Nian sent someone to invite Zhang Honglin to a small forest.

In midsummer, the woods are very cool, but this side is too desolate. Looking at Feng Nian standing in the forest with his hands behind his back, Zhang Honglin felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Master Feng bought an orchard?" Zhang Honglin asked tentatively when he stopped about ten steps away from Feng Nian.

Feng Nian stared at him.

His eyes were not good, and Zhang Honglin immediately guessed that something happened to buy the orchard, but he didn't want to explain the reason for Feng Nian's anger anyway, so he couldn't explain anything for himself, so he could only wait for Feng Nian to tell him in doubt.

The blankness on his face was not fake, Feng Nian could tell, but so what if Zhang Honglin didn't do it on purpose?Because of this person, the first time he went to trouble Lu Cheng, he was almost crippled. This time, he went to Wu's house with confidence to step on Lu Cheng, but instead, Lu Cheng saw it as a joke.

Zhang Honglin is simply his disaster star!
Not wanting to say a word of nonsense, Feng Nian turned around and clapped his hands casually.

Immediately, three men in black came out from the forest, and one of them was still carrying a sack in his hand.

Feng Nian once wanted to use this trick to deal with the three brothers of the Lu family, but Zhang Honglin advised him not to be impulsive, since the Lu family is backed by the Zhenyuanhou Mansion.Today Feng Nian wanted to see if he, Zhang Honglin, had anyone to back him up!
"beat!"

Following his low shout, Zhang Honglin ran away, and the three men in black chased after him at a faster speed. After all, they relied on this for their food. The men in black quickly caught Zhang Honglin like a rabbit. He also put the sack on Zhang Honglin's head, followed by punches and kicks.

The man's wailing, the muffled sound of fists and feet hitting his body, was endless.

After beating for a full quarter of an hour, Feng Nian called to stop, and led the three men in black to leave angrily.

In the grove, the burlap sack kept twisting, and finally the person inside showed his head, but his hair was messy, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he looked like he crawled out of a pile of beggars, and he could no longer see the handsome and handsome scholar before.

But the servant sent by the Wu family to watch all this clearly saw all this clearly. Seeing that Zhang Honglin stood up staggeringly, he was sure that no one had been killed, so the servant immediately went back to report.

Lu Cheng got the news when he came back from the city, and he was stunned for a while before he remembered who Zhang Honglin was.

Remembering, Lu Cheng said to the messenger boy: "Please tell the master, just say that I know what's on my mind, and he doesn't need to worry anymore."

There is a smile in the peach blossom eyes when talking, and it is harmless to humans and animals.
