Peasant women who keep their wives and make money should be self-improvement

Chapter 25 The Vendor's Compassion

"Aunt Qin, you?"

Leng Han did not understand Mrs. Qin.

It is said that fallen leaves return to their roots. Could it be that Mrs. Qin is really willing?
"Si Jinniang, you must be curious why I suddenly don't want to stay anymore, right?" Old lady Qin asked.

Leng Han nodded.

Curious indeed.

"Si Jinniang, you and I both know that this house is man-made, but I'm a widowed old woman, I really can't do anything about it, and I've even hurt your mother and son. Thinking about it makes me feel uneasy, let alone force you Stay, since there are houses for sale in Shanghe Village, it is indeed better than Yangbei Village, now, I don’t think so much, I just want to be able to grow up the pier, and moreover, you don’t dislike my old bones, here you go Washing and cooking, let our mother-in-law and grandson have a place to settle down!"

Leng Han couldn't help sighing when he saw Mrs. Qin's humiliation. He held Mrs. Qin's hand and said, "Aunt Qin, don't worry, one day, I will let you come back here in a good way, and leaving is only temporary. of!"

When Mrs. Qin heard this, her eyes turned red.

A broken ox cart, Leng Han drove the ox cart, Mrs. Qin hugged the pier, Si Jin sat on the side, and drove the carriage to Shanghe Village.

Although the villagers of Yangbei Village didn't say anything, their hearts were like mirrors, very bright.

In Shanghe Village, perhaps because of the market today, there are many people walking back happily.

Entering Shanghe Village, the bluestone road is very flat, and there are shops on both sides. At the corner of the shop, there are not many people who set up stalls, and they start to close the stalls. Everyone has a smile on their faces. It is obvious that they have made money today. still alright.

Mrs. Qin came to the three rice shops that Ke Erniang said she wanted to sell with coldness. Sure enough, the door of the rice shop was closed, with red paper pasted on the door panel. Sijin read it clearly, Leng Han and the others also understood that this store was really for sale.

"Si Jinniang, you will be the family from now on, you go and knock on the door!" Old lady Qin said.

Hearing this, Leng Han hesitated for a moment before going to knock on the door.

After a while, the wooden door was opened. An old man looked at Leng Han and asked, "Do you want to buy rice or a house? If you want to buy rice, I don't sell rice anymore in this place. You can go to the west to buy it!"

"I'm here to buy a house!" Leng Han said lightly.

The old man looked at Leng Han, paused and said, "Then let's take a look!"

"it is good!"

Leng Han responded, and with Si Jin, Mrs. Qin entered the shop.

The shop was about six or seven meters deep, and the three facades together were about ten meters wide. The old man opened the curtain, and Leng Han saw a courtyard with two rooms beside it and a main room.

"I used to store rice in one room, one room for me and my wife, the kitchen at the back, and two empty rooms on the side!"

Leng Han followed behind the old man and looked at the whole rice shop. Overall, he was satisfied.

"Master, how much money are you going to sell for this house?" Leng Han asked.

Hearing this, the old man looked at Leng Han, thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "My house is not just for sale!"

"How to say?" Leng Han asked.

"I want to sell my family's fifteen acres of paddy fields and twenty acres of land together!"

When Leng Han heard that there was still land, he was satisfied, but his face showed embarrassment, "Then how much money do you plan to have?"

"320 taels!"

"Can I go and see where your fields are?"

"it is good!"

Leng Han followed the old man all the way to see his family's field, and the millet in the field has sprouted rice flowers, and in another month, rice will bear fruit.

I went to see his family's land again. In some places, corn was planted, in some places, wheat and sweet potatoes were planted, and in some places, soybeans were also planted.

Fortunately, these lands are all connected together, there is no piecemeal, one mu of land to the east and one field to the west.

After walking around and returning home, the old man asked Leng Han, "What do you guys think?"

"The house and the fields are pretty good, but it's a bit expensive!" Leng Han said.

If it was 200 taels, she would buy it without hesitation.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?" the old man asked Leng Han.

"200 taels!" Leng Han counter-offered.

"This, this, is impossible, little sister-in-law, you know, I am Shanghe Village, every five days, there is a market, and people from these villages from ten miles and eight villages will come to sell things, and there will be people from outside Come here to buy things, besides, this is still a shop, you can still use it for business, the price you paid back is indeed a bit low!"

Hearing this, Leng Han pondered for a moment before saying, "However, 320 taels is indeed too expensive!"

The old man looked at Leng Han's clothes, then at Sijin, Mrs. Qin and Dunzi who were standing aside, and asked, "You are the heads of the family, where is the child's father?"

Leng Han didn't speak, but Sijin lowered her head, her eyes were red.

Mrs. Qin immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Zhu, my niece is a hard-working person. The husband of the family died, and the people in the clan bullied them everywhere when they saw their orphans and widows. My niece had no choice but to come all the way here Go to me, but I am also unlucky. The house at home was burned down by a big fire last night. I heard from Kerer's mother that the son of shopkeeper Zhu made a lot of money in business in the capital. Shopkeeper Zhu wants to sell it. I left the house and fields at home and went to the capital to enjoy the blessings, so I hurried here, shopkeeper Zhu, you are a rich man, you are not short of these few silvers, see if you can sell this house and land to me at a cheaper price niece"

"This..." Shopkeeper Zhu was deep in thought, and then said with a frown, "Your experience is indeed worthy of sympathy, but 200 taels is indeed too cheap, and I can't sell it. Otherwise, 280 taels, you can give 200 taels first. Two taels of silver, the remaining 80 taels of silver, let's write a contract, and I will come back in a year to get it, how about it?"

Hearing this, Leng Han looked at shopkeeper Zhu in astonishment, but he never expected that shopkeeper Zhu would make such a decision, which shocked Leng Han.

Looking at Sijin, she asked in a low voice, "Sijin, do you like this place?"

Sijin nodded.

Leng Han said, "Master Zhu is benevolent, and I, Leng Han, can't do ruthless things. This house and field, shopkeeper Zhu, if you lose 20 taels or 260 taels of silver, I will give you the money at once, lest you Next year we will go back and forth again, you see?"

"Hey..." Shopkeeper Zhu sighed, and then said, "Forget it, I'm not short of these dozens of taels of silver, 260 taels is 260 taels, when do you plan to sign the contract?"

"If shopkeeper Zhu is willing, we can do it now! I have the bank note with me!" Leng Han said.

Shopkeeper Zhu suddenly remembered that these people were already homeless.
