Chapter 58 The First Negotiation

After finishing the work, Bai Susu found Zhou Ximing standing at the door.

"Do you walk without sound?"

Bai Susu patted her chest.

"It's because you are too focused." Zhou Ximing raised his eyebrows.

The two have been together day and night for nearly three months, and they are already very familiar with each other.

"Did something bad happen?" he asked softly.

Bai Susu's emotions are all displayed on her face, and she doesn't know how to pretend, so it's easy to see her emotions.

Later, she told Zhou Ximing about Zhang Xiucai's desire to return to the house.

"I plan to talk to him tomorrow. The matter of the house doesn't matter. It's just that I have feelings for him after living for a few months, but I can't give him the land."

She can't replant the land again. Although it works, she will definitely miss the sowing in February, so her harvest will be much slower than others.

"Well, I'll be with you tomorrow." Zhou Ximing suggested.

"What's the use of being with me? Could it be that you can still persuade Zhang Xiucai?" Bai Susu only felt that he was making trouble.

"Didn't you find that something is wrong with this?" Zhou Ximing said to Bai Susu. "Just now you said that Zhang Xiucai's family has moved to the town. It is reasonable to say that this house is useless if it is empty. It is impossible for someone to rent it. Even if it is rented, can it be rented to you? Why do you have to take it back?"

"That's right!" Bai Susu suddenly realized after being reminded like this.

She only thought about keeping the field, but she didn't think about it deeper.

"I think it's better for me to go with you. If that Xiucai makes things difficult on purpose, the two of us can still handle it." Zhou Ximing expressed his thoughts.

Bai Susu thought for a moment, and felt that what he said made sense.

After all, Zhang Xiucai is different from Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou can still go back after pestering her, but Zhang Xiucai did not feel sorry for her. If it is true, I still live in Zhang Xiucai's house, so I can't argue with reason, but can only negotiate.

The next day, news came from Lizheng that he had an appointment with Zhang Xiucai.

Bai Susu borrowed Lizheng's place to meet Zhang Xiucai.

"Let me make it clear to you two first that this matter has been settled and cannot be changed no matter what. I am willing to see you, but I just think that we are all from the same village, and I don't want to hurt my friendship."

Just after saying hello, Zhang Xiucai explained his position.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Bai Susu frowned.

"So that means you're going to have the house and the land back, isn't it?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiucai nodded. "However, I see that you have already planted something in your field. It is really unfair to you to take it away at this time. I can give you corresponding compensation. We can discuss the amount of compensation together."

She would rather pay compensation than have to go back to the house.

Thinking of what Zhou Ximing said to her last night, Bai Susu felt that this matter was very strange.

"do you think it's OK?"

Seeing that Bai Susu hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhang Xiucai urged her softly.

After all, he is a scholar who hangs his head and spine all day long. He is much gentler than other people in the same village, and he looks very thin. He is dressed in Tsing Yi and cleanly dressed, no different from the scholar Bai Susu imagined.

"I have a question to ask you." Bai Susu said.

"Is there any reason why you suddenly took back the house and the field?"

"This is my mother's idea." Zhang Xiucai replied truthfully.

"Then is your mother going to come back to live?" Bai Susu asked immediately.

"No." Zhang Xiucai shook his head. "Actually, I don't know why she suddenly thought of taking back the house and fields, but she was determined, and there was nothing I could do. That's why I feel sorry for you and am willing to compensate you."

Bai Susu turned her head and looked at Zhou Ximing.

"Can we meet your mother?" Zhou Ximing suddenly asked.

"This..." Zhang Xiucai looked embarrassed.

"We're not trying to bully your mother, but we want to talk to her about this matter, and see if we can persuade her to change her mind." Bai Susu explained.

"My mother asked me to take care of this matter, but she didn't want to come forward, so you two should not embarrass me." Zhang Xiucai declined.

"I think you are also a man of knowledge and knowledge. You must like to collect paintings of famous people on weekdays. I have a calligraphy handwritten by the prince of the dynasty. I would like to give it to you in exchange for the opportunity to meet your mother. Do you think it is okay?"

Just as Bai Susu was thinking about what to do next, what Zhou Ximing said suddenly surprised her.

The prince's own calligraphy?When did he have this thing?
"You really have?" Zhang Xiucai was surprised.

"If you don't believe me, I can go back and get it now. I believe you will be able to tell whether it is true or not." Zhou Ximing was very confident.

"Then please ask this young man to show it to me."

Afterwards, Zhou Ximing went to get the words, and Zhang Xiucai started chatting with Bai Susu about the current prince.

To say it was a chat was actually to praise him.What is so profound about his knowledge and how beautiful his handwriting is, those who don't know may think that Zhang Xiucai has really met the current prince.

Bai Susu felt like dozing off, but now she still had to ask Zhang Xiucai, so she could only pretend to be interested in listening to him.

After a while, Zhou Ximing came back and handed a piece of writing to Zhang Xiucai.

"May I ask where the young master came from?" He stared at it for a while, then raised his head abruptly.

"I used to be in the flower and wine business. I have been to the capital city. Once, the restaurant I cooperated with refused to pay back the money owed to me. The shopkeeper couldn't pay me, so he mortgaged the calligraphy and painting of the prince in his collection to me." Zhou Ximing said Lie really does not change face.

Even Bai Susu couldn't help feeling that his acting skills were amazing.

What she didn't expect was that the word was actually written by the prince himself.

Zhang Xiucai agreed on the spot to bring his mother over tomorrow.

"Tell me quickly, why do you have the calligraphy and painting of the prince? You don't really do business, do you?"

As soon as Zhang Xiucai was sent away, Bai Susu couldn't help but question Zhou Ximing.

"I wrote that word." Zhou Ximing stood with his hands behind his back, and swaggered ahead.

"But Zhang Xiucai clearly just now..."

"He hasn't seen what the prince's handwriting looks like with his own eyes, how does he know that my handwriting is fake." Zhou Ximing was triumphant.

"Then he's still so sure..." Bai Susu was dumbfounded.

"Zhang Xiucai is the first scholar born in your village. It is inevitable that he will be arrogant. He thinks that he is very knowledgeable. We both praised him so much just now. If the words are true and he didn't see it, wouldn't he have hit himself? face? So even if he doesn't understand it at all, he has to bite the bullet and say that he sees it." Zhou Ximing was in a good mood and explained to Bai Susu.

After hearing this, Bai Susu instantly understood.

Because Zhou Ximing acted very calmly just now, he didn't look like he was lying, and Zhang Xiucai had a good face, and he didn't want to be exposed that he hadn't seen the calligraphy and painting of the prince, so he didn't know how to pretend to understand and point to the words to say it was true of.

"Then you're lying, aren't you?" Bai Susu muttered softly.
