Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields
Chapter 69 The Low-key Rich Man
As for Chen Ershu's family, they can sign a five-year, ten-year contract, tidy up the yard, buy vegetables and cook, and pay one tael of silver every month.
"Don't give so much!"
Aunt Chen was frightened by a tael of silver. Cooking and cleaning the yard were the simplest jobs. It was much more comfortable to be able to cat winter in the house in the cold winter than washing clothes in the cold wind.
What Li Haitang meant was that once the contract was signed, all food and drink for the family would belong to the master.
Second Uncle Chen hurt his leg, and after healed he couldn't do heavy work, but he was able to drive a car without any problems, and the elder sister could still do some chores, and the whole family only gave one tael of silver, which was too much.
"The master has a kind heart. I'm a useless person now, and I can't do anything. The only big girl in the family can help her mother. It's not bad to give two hundred Wen a month."
Second Uncle Chen felt that he was taking advantage when he said this, and the owner obviously wanted to help them find an easy job for them.
He injured his leg, and the house at home has not been renovated. If it snows heavily in winter, the roof will definitely collapse. It would be great to be able to move it away!
If this is the case, they have other thoughts, and if they don't work hard, they are simply conscience-stricken and unworthy of being human!
"We plan to buy a small yard with two entrances. There will be a lot of work, so one or two will be one or two."
In the future, to do business, you have to draw a slice. Occasionally, you can go to Lucheng and have a place to stay, which is better than staying in an inn.
Furthermore, many of my husband's brothers are in Lucheng, so I will move around more in the future, with many friends and multiple paths.
What Li Haitang is most interested in is the three hands. She also wants to learn two tricks, in case they are useful in the future...
"You just pack up some clothes, and the other pots and pans are inconvenient, so go to Lucheng to buy them again."
The Chen family's house is made of mud and tiles, with several cracks in the walls, so it must be cold in winter.
Li Haitang remembered that Huang Ji Dental Shop had business in Lucheng, and she cooperated with Huang Ji once. She had a good impression of Huang Ji, so she went to find a buddy and asked him to accompany him for a walk.
Selling Sixi in the dental shop is a business that loses money. The clerk did not expect to receive a big deal. Sure enough, the shopkeeper is right. Honesty is the foundation of doing business. Those who deceive others will smash their own signs , business will only get worse.
On the second day, the group rented another carriage and set off on the road.
The first thing they did when they arrived in Lucheng was to find a place to settle down, and the staff of the tooth shop took them to the inn at the foot of Lushan Academy.
"Little lady, the village at the foot of Lushan Academy is called Shanghe Village. In the village, there are many villagers' built-up houses, which are rented to the scholar's family."
Rich families all have large yards in the city, and there are groups of servants. Those with moderate conditions live in the village, so it is convenient for the school boy to come and fetch food.
A few people walked around Shanghe Village, and found that the houses here were densely packed, some of which occupied the farmland, and the houses for sale were all low-rise farmyards, which did not meet Li Haitang's standards at all.
"Shanghe Village is closer, but the people in the village are chaotic and accidents often occur."
The buddy rubbed his brows. They were well-informed as dentists, including gossip and gossip. They heard that there was a strange clothes thief in Shanghe Village who liked to collect obscene pants of little ladies.
"It's not suitable here, we plan to buy a two-entry house."
Li Haitang was speechless, perverts are everywhere, it is best to find a quiet place, and the surrounding residents are not too complicated, so as to save a lot of trouble. She asked, "Is there a small courtyard with two entrances in the nearby town?"
The road out of Shanghe Village is flat and needs to be repaired every year. When it snows heavily in winter, horse-drawn carriages can still enter the village, making travel convenient.
Because of this, Li Haitang wanted to find a yard in the town. Firstly, it was close to the academy, and secondly, it was definitely more convenient to buy ingredients in the town than in the village.
"Yes, yes."
The clerk held a brochure in his hand, and there really was a yard in the town. Xiaosan came in, and after the owner bought it, he tore down the rebuilt big tiled house made of blue bricks.
"The owner of the house is a foreigner and has the reputation of a scholar. He opened a calligraphy and painting shop in the town."
Next to Lushan Academy Street, there is a street that sells pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The business is booming. The homeowner has made a lot of money for so many years.
He is a dutiful son, and when he heard that his mother was in poor health, he planned to return to his hometown. As soon as the news was released, the shop was bought away, leaving only a yard.
"To be honest, this yard is good, but it's too expensive."
The house is all new, with custom-made furniture and a spacious study room. The owner spent hundreds of taels of silver on the furniture alone, so how could he sell it cheaply.
According to the folks, it will definitely not be a problem to sell it, but it will be next spring at the earliest.
"How much silver?"
Li Haitang brought two thousand taels down the mountain this time, half of which was the banknotes she earned herself.
Living in the village, she can't spend two taels of silver a year, but when she goes out to buy a house, she finds out that she doesn't have enough money to spend.
A huge amount of money in the eyes of the poor may be a meal for the rich.
"One thousand two hundred taels, the price is not negotiable."
The homeowner is not short of money, and he doesn't want to sell it at a low price. The money is the sum of the house he built and the custom-made furniture.
Buy it now, not even a copper plate.
After going to the Yamen to register and transfer the household registration, all expenses will be borne by the buyer, plus the middleman fee, which is about 1,250 taels.
"A normal house, at that location, sells for six hundred taels of silver at most."
The guy is very honest. Although the house is good, it is designed according to the original owner's favorite style. The rich people pay special attention to Feng Shui. They bought the house and rebuilt it. They would not look for such a new house.
The whole family of the Chen family dared not speak, and they had never heard of a yard with a thousand taels of silver. It was because their vision was too narrow.
The yard near Lushan Academy is not cheap. Li Haitang is prepared. She wants to move in quickly and buy a house that does not need to be renovated, saving time and effort, but the price is beyond expectations.
"Go and see."
Xiao Lingchuan had never had any idea about money, seeing his wife's heartbeat, he urged his assistant to lead the way.
The buddy has been watching the words and expressions, seeing that the price is sky-high, and the other party does not respond, he knows that he is not short of money.
It's strange to say, are rich people so low-key now? Looking at the clothes, it is ordinary muslin that can no longer be ordinary.
The house is located in the east of the city, just a turn from the entrance of Shanghe Village. At first glance, the east of the city is the settlement of rich families, and it is quiet during the day.
"There are many houses here, and there are corner doors at the front and back, so it is convenient to walk."
The guy had a bunch of keys in his hand, opened the black lacquered iron door, and led a group of people in.
"There is a three-entry courtyard in the west of the city, which is a little farther away from Lushan Academy."
The guy thinks that the price is too high, mainly because of the furniture. Ordinary people don’t need to choose too good wood materials. They cut two trees in the back mountain and find a carpenter to customize them. It doesn’t cost much money. The addition of several hundred taels of furniture made the price of the yard a head higher. Generally, people with a budget would not come to see the house at all.
