Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

Chapter 12 Turmoil

It wasn't until mid-November that the weather slowly turned cooler. Within a few days, the temperature dropped to around ten degrees.

During this period, two or three more waves of people came to view the house.

But because Xu Ge insisted on paying the full amount, he had no choice but to give up.

Dr. Wang and his wife also visited the house once during this period.

In the end, both parties decided to settle the deal at a price of 1.13 million.

The reason for the price reduction is that Dr. Wang and the others said that they would not take possession of the house immediately. They planned to move here in March next year and did not mind Xu Ge and the others moving out later.

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi were very grateful when they found out.

In this case, Xu's father and Xu's mother can continue to live here and wait until February next year before moving out, which will be much more convenient for them.

On the day the contract was signed, Dr. Wang transferred the house payment of 500,000 yuan, and after the house was transferred, the remaining house payment was paid.

That day happened to be Friday, and Xu Ge agreed with the other party on a time to go directly to the Housing Authority to handle the property transfer procedures on Monday.

As everyone knows, in just two days, a farce has been staged.

On Saturday, Xu Ge, who rarely worked overtime, was accompanying Xiang Chi to unpack the express.

Xiang Chi recently ordered a large number of bottles and cans online.

Because the grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, etc. in the space mature too quickly.

The two planned to make cans and jam from them. Let’s expand the recipe.

Looking at Uncle Xu's phone number on the caller ID, Xu Ge frowned, a little confused.

Why did Uncle Xu, who always went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, suddenly call him? Xu Ge had an ominous premonition...

Because of the conflicts in the early years, Xu Ge's family would go back to their hometown to visit Xu Ge's grandparents except during holidays. Uncle Xu and Xu Ge's family seldom moved around.

"Did something happen to my grandparents?"

Xu Ge was a little confused. Although he had not been close to his grandparents since childhood, after all, the two old people were already over eighty years old.

Xu Ge couldn't help but feel a little worried and immediately answered the phone.

Xu Ge: "Hey, uncle, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my grandparents..."

Before Xu Ge could finish speaking, Uncle Xu's loud voice came from the other end of the phone.

Uncle Xu: "Xu Ge, why did I hear Xiao Lei say that you saw on that Internet that you were going to sell your father's house? Is this the case?"

Xu Ge's heart skipped a beat.

Xu Ge: "Well, yes, I do want to sell the house."

Uncle Xu: "Oh, Xu Ge, if you want to sell your house, you should have told me earlier. My brother Lei is thinking of buying a house in the city recently. We don't want to let other people earn the money, so don't let others earn it. You Just transfer your house directly to Leile!"

Listening to Uncle Xu's natural words, Xu Ge sneered and asked:

"Oh? How much does Brother Lei plan to pay?"

Uncle Xu: "Hey, don't worry, I won't let you lose! Didn't your dad spend 150,000 yuan to buy that house? How about your brother Lei giving you 300,000 yuan?"

Xu Ge almost laughed out of anger when he heard this. Choking and saying:

"Uncle, I think you are drunk. Why are you talking drunkenly? If nothing happens, I will hang up first!"

When Uncle Xu heard what Xu Ge said, he shouted unhappily:

"What are you talking about? Have you ever talked to an elder like this? Besides, this money is quite a lot, what else are you dissatisfied with!"

"That house is an old building for many years. If there weren't several shabby schools around it, I would give you three hundred thousand."

Xu Ge was too lazy to listen to Uncle Xu's irritating words. Before Uncle Xu finished speaking, he said to the phone:

"Uncle, I still have something to do here. If I hang up, you don't have to worry about that house. It's not for sale!"

After speaking, Uncle Xu hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

Xu Ge took a deep breath, looked at Xiang Chi who looked curious, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Xu Ge: "My uncle knew about our house sale, and he wanted to buy it for 300,000 yuan. I think he really drank too much, but looking at his attitude, this matter is not over yet."

After saying that, Xu Ge wiped his face a little irritably, feeling a little tired.

The relationship between Uncle Xu's family and Xu Ge's family was not good. When he was young, Uncle Xu didn't want to go to school and dropped out of school early to work.

Father Xu, however, kept studying hard and was admitted to university. After graduation, he was assigned to work as a teacher back in Dancheng.

When Uncle Xu saw that Father Xu had secured an iron job, but he was still living precariously, his heart became increasingly unbalanced.

He used the excuse that he had dropped out of school to support Xu's father, and asked Xu's father for money every now and then.

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, who were already partial to their eldest son, looked at their younger son who had no worries about food and drink, and then looked at their eldest son who did not have a formal job, and they were even more partial to Uncle Xu.

Money was deducted from Father Xu's hands overtly and covertly, and most of it was secretly subsidized to Uncle Xu.

Poor Xu's father at that time, most of the salary he earned subsidized the family.

The young man didn't have enough to eat every day, and he only lost more than 110 pounds.

It wasn't until I got married to Xu's mother that my life became better.

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, who had been receiving Father Xu's salary, finally got even more serious and wanted Mother Xu to hand over their wages as well.

Seeing that Xu's mother was pregnant and had a big belly, she couldn't even eat an egg because of the harsh treatment of her own mother.

Thinking about how he had been wronged over the years, forget it, and now even Xu's mother was being bullied. Xu's father finally broke out and separated the family at his insistence.

In fact, Uncle Xu's life was not difficult. After working outside for several years without making much money, he had no choice but to go home and farm.

At that time, land was allocated based on the population on the household registration. Counting Xu's father's population, the Xu family had almost 200 acres of land.

When the family was separated, Uncle Xu asked Dad to transfer the land that belonged to him to Uncle Xu's name on the grounds that Dad Xu had a formal job.

I also want to give Grandpa Xu a large amount of filial piety money to Grandma Xu.

At that time, looking at the silent Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, Father Xu finally felt chilled.

With the help of Xu Ge's uncles, he collected five thousand yuan and gave it to Grandpa Xu. This was the complete separation of the family.

Xu Ge recalled that when he was a child, every time he went to visit his grandparents, he could not eat anything good.

But cousins Xu Lei and Xu Xin can freely eat the cookies and candies hidden in the cupboard by their grandma.

Because of Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu's partiality, he was also not liked by the two old people.

Sometimes the new clothes and toys that the uncles bought for themselves were always taken away by Grandma Xu for various reasons.

And these things will appear in cousin Xu Lei's place after a while.

Xiang Chi didn't know much about these old events, but he was a little angry and amused that Uncle Xu wanted to buy Father Xu's house for only 300,000 yuan.

Before she could say anything, Xu Ge received another call from his cousin Xu Lei.

Xu Lei: "Hello? Xu Ge, I heard what my dad said, but you don't agree? I'm telling you, three hundred thousand is a lot. My second uncle bought it for one hundred and fifty thousand, and I spent three hundred thousand." Buy it, you’ve already made twice as much and it’s still not enough, so don’t push yourself too far!”

As soon as Xu Ge answered the phone, he heard Xu Lei's shameless words.

His face suddenly fell,

Xu Ge: "I don't know who can take advantage of it. Let alone 300,000 yuan, even if it is 1.3 million yuan, I won't sell it to you!"

Xu Ge hung up the phone before Xu Lei could say anything.

After a while, Uncle Xu and Xu Lei called several more times, but Xu Ge didn't answer them all.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ge received several text messages from Xu Lei on his phone.

Not surprisingly, they were all curses on Xu Ge.

It's either a lion talking too much, or he's just crazy about money.

Xu Ge deleted the text message and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Looking up at Xiang Chi, the two of them spoke in unison.

Xu Ge: "I feel like this matter is never over."

Xiang Chi: "I have an ominous premonition."
