The old lady Zhao finally understood what Du Wanchun meant, and she cooperated very well and said, "That's enough. You can buy not only our two plots of land, but also my house."

Auntie Lu was shocked this time. Few ordinary farmers, even merchants, could directly take out five hundred taels of silver.

If she hadn't just received the payment for the goods, she couldn't even take out the three hundred taels of silver.

Seeing that she was silent, Du Wanchun deliberately raised his voice and said, "Auntie Lu, can't your family even take out five hundred taels of silver?"

Auntie Lu gritted her teeth and didn't speak. It was obviously a land worth thirty taels of silver, and now she had to use five hundred taels of silver to buy it. She really had to think about it again.

If her husband knew that she had taken 500 taels of silver to buy the land, he would beat her to death.

Du Wanchun stood up, took the silver note of 500 taels of silver and walked to Mrs. Zhao, saying, "Grandma, you can sell the land to me."

When she said this, she deliberately raised her voice and laughed, "Aunt Lu, don't blame me for this. It's you who can't take out the money."

Aunt Lu was so angry that she said, "I'll pay 600 taels! Isn't it just 500 taels? I'm afraid your Zhou family has taken out all their belongings!"

Mrs. Zhao was shocked and looked at Du Wanchun at a loss.

Du Wanchun nodded at her.

Mrs. Zhao understood immediately and agreed, saying, "Okay, I'll sell you these two plots of land for 600 taels."

Mrs. Lu's face was full of joy, and she glanced at Du Wanchun, "Don't you see what kind of person you are? You actually compete with me."

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Aunt Lu, since it's 600 taels of silver, then you should take out 600 taels of silver. Don't say you don't have it now, right?"

Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't have it here, but I have it at home. I'll go home and get the silver later."

"Words are not enough." Du Wanchun took out a piece of paper and a pen and handed it to her, "You have to write a receipt first, otherwise I'll ask grandma to sell the land to me later."

Mrs. Lu wrote the receipt without thinking.

Then Mrs. Lu went home happily.

Mrs. Zhao looked at her back and breathed a sigh of relief, "Wanchun, is this much money enough? If not, I won't sell it."

Du Wanchun comforted her and smiled slowly, "Don't worry, Aunt Lu will never bother you again in a few days."

Mrs. Zhao was half-believing and half-doubting.

At night, in order to prevent her husband from knowing that she took 600 taels of silver to buy land, Aunt Lu secretly stole her own silver at night.

However, unfortunately, Mr. Lu, who was originally sleeping, suddenly woke up.

"What are you doing secretly?!" Mr. Lu said to her sternly.

Aunt Lu quickly hid the silver behind her, "I just woke up and went out to drink some water."

Mr. Lu was sharp-eyed and happened to see the bundle behind her. He quickly grabbed it and said, "What is this heavy thing?"

He opened it and was stunned. He took out the silver inside and looked at it again and again, and shouted at Aunt Lu: "Why did you take my silver out?!"

Mrs. Lu panicked and explained quickly: "I just took it out to see."

Mr. Lu blew his beard, snorted coldly, and scolded fiercely: "Nonsense! I think you want to use my silver to support your gigolos!"

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried: "My life is so hard. I gave birth to children for you and helped you take care of the business. You actually suspected that I was supporting a gigolo."

Mr. Lu usually turned a blind eye to what she did in order not to quarrel with her.

Now it was about money, he couldn't let her go any longer, raised his hand and slapped her, "Don't argue with me! Tell me quickly, what do you want to do with so much money?!"

Mrs. Lu was silent for a moment and said, "Didn't I tell you a few days ago that the Zhao family has a piece of land to sell?"

Mr. Lu listened with his eyes wide open, "You mean, you want to use so much silver to buy their two pieces of broken land?"

Mrs. Lu lowered her head and said, "Well, today the Zhou family's daughter-in-law competed with me for this piece of land, so I raised the price to six hundred taels of silver."

Mr. Lu was so angry that he trembled and kicked her, "You idiot!"

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "Don't we still have money? After buying this piece of land, we will plant some trees and raise some silkworms, and then we will have money again!"

Mr. Lu pointed at her and scolded, "Do you think making money is so easy?

Easy?! You raise the price just because I told you to! That piece of land is only worth a few dozen taels of silver, and you actually wasted six hundred taels of silver. You could have bought several more plots of land with that money! "

Mrs. Lu was a little confused for a moment. After a long time, she took Mr. Lu's hand and said, "What should I do? Mr. Lu!"
