Stingy Husband Farming

Chapter 96 Buying a House

Shen Mu thought for a long time: "It's better...to live in the town."

Half of his childhood was spent in the foot town.At that time, the children in the village thought he was a little brother and excluded him, and they were not willing to play with him.Boss Shen was teaching at the academy in Shanjiao Town, so he took him to the academy to be with his students.

His friendship with Senior Brother Zhong, Senior Brother Zhao and others was also established at that time.Shen Mu is still very familiar with Shanjiao Town.The village is naturally the first choice, but since I can't return to the village for the time being, it is more at ease to choose a more familiar living environment.

Compared with the county seat, the town is also closer to Shenjiatun.

Besides... the house price in the town must be cheaper than the county seat, right?

Song Bai has nothing to do.He can live anywhere, he left his hometown to follow Shen Mu to this point, the place where Shen Mu is is his home. "Then let's take a break today and go to the town to look at the house tomorrow."

"Shouldn't you go back to the village to have a look first?" Shen Mu was very concerned about the villagers.Especially Shen Qingshan's family, and Boss Shen's good brother before his death.

Song Bai hesitated.It stands to reason that he should go back to the village first. He stayed at Shen Qingshan's house for a while when he was sick, and he had a good relationship with their family.It's just... soon Mr. Song and his wife will follow in their footsteps.

There is also a large amount of food placed in the space together.

They had to buy a house first, or a house with many rooms, in order to store the grain.

"Let's settle down first. If Mom and Dad arrive early, it will be inconvenient to settle down."

Shen Mu thinks about it too.The Song family was still escorting the food and their luggage, and they tried to be low-key when they were resettled earlier.So although I miss everyone in the village, I still hold back and go to the town to buy a house first.

Old man Shen didn't know what their plans were. Seeing that the two of them didn't return to the village in a leisurely manner, he was very irritable. He broke out at the table the next day when he was having breakfast: "I said Xiao Song, this has reached the limit, why don't you come back?" The village is going to change its household registration? Why do you delay this day, I really don’t want to stay in this poor place for a day! Hurry up and finish the business, let’s go back!"

Even if Song Bai was rich, the disaster-stricken Fengshui County was short of supplies and could not live a comfortable life with money.Old man Shen was very dissatisfied.

Song Bai frowned displeased.These days, in order to let the old man Shen and his wife relax their vigilance, he has always treated them gently, and he also ate breakfast at the same table in the lobby of the inn.Therefore, Mrs. Liu didn't go out of the room to eat, and she didn't want to share the table with Old Man Shen and his wife at all.

But hearing old man Shen's words, Song Bai couldn't help but said: "The place where I have lived for so many years and suffered such a big disaster, relatives and friends always look for it to see if it is all right. Just go back Village, why don’t you just leave after taking your household registration and not meet your fellow villagers?”

"What's there to see? What can you do if you see it? Can you still keep them?" The old man Shen snorted twice: "We will live in Xing'an County in the future. They are in Shenjiatun, separated by a hundred and eight thousand The people here are not all the way, so why involve so much!"

Their family has already leapt into the dragon's gate and become a rich family. What else is there to talk about with those mud-legged relatives and old friends!

Song Bai's complexion was not very good, Shen Mu shook his head, and pulled Song Bai: "Why are you telling them these things. What do they know about feelings?" Shen Mu sneered: "A person who is so cruel to his own son, What are folks? They have no heart at all, so stop talking nonsense with them."

Old man Shen was told he couldn't get off the stage and was about to explode, but Song Bai waved his chopsticks and said to Shen Mu: "Don't eat, let's go."

He also told Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu: "Take care of the old man and the old lady."

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu didn't sit at the same table with them, but ate at the small table next to them. Hearing this, he quickly agreed.

The old man Shen was still full of displeasure: "Am I wrong? Going up and mixing with a bunch of mud legs, what can I do!"

Song Bai heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the station.How could there be such a cold, callous and ruthless person in this world?Do you really have no compassion at all?

"Don't think about them, and talk about others, they are mud-legged relatives who have been dragged up by force! Let them go back to their original road immediately." Shen Mu said: "They will enjoy one more day of blessing when they return to the village one day later... ..."

"Don't talk about them." Song Bai rubbed his forehead: "I'll just bear with it for another two days. Tell me, where do you want to buy the house, and what kind of house do you want to buy."

Shen Mu has no requirements for the style of the house, but he has some ideas about the location: "I think... we can buy the house near the academy, or near Senior Brother Zhong's house."

Shen Mu still misses his senior brother very much.If Senior Brother Zhong hadn't helped, he and Mrs. Liu might not have been able to find the Escort so smoothly and go to Xing'an County.

Brother Zhong's family has taken root in Shanjiao Town for several lifetimes, so it should... be safe.

I don't know if their family is still living in the county, or has they returned to the town?

Song Bai sighed: "If it wasn't for that senior brother of yours who helped you and your mother, he is really kind, and I would really be jealous of him." However, buying a house near Senior Brother Zhong's house can indeed be considered.

When they first settled in the town, they could be regarded as rootless.There will be a large amount of food and grass soon, and there is no backing for newcomers. Although it is not untenable, it will always be troublesome.

Of course it would be best to save some trouble.

There are not many people selling houses and land in the town.But more are selling people.But it's easy to find a dentist, because there are many people walking on the street.

Song Bai and Shen Mu asked a few experts, and found a good house near Senior Brother Zhong's house.After inquiring again, it turned out that the other courtyard of Senior Brother Zhong's family was selling it.

Yaren stooped and introduced to them: "The Zhong family did not suffer from bleeding this time, but fortunately everyone is safe and sound. I just heard that they have been stolen a few times in the county town. As for selling the house, I really can't support so many servants who look after the house. Many of them have already been dismissed..."

The tooth man sighed.Those dismissed servants, without continuing and without the support of the master, are also hard to survive.Many people came out of the other courtyards of Zhongfu, and they went directly to their relatives to sell themselves again.

The people who took care of the house were all dismissed, and the other courtyard was left in ruins, so they just made a move.

The house is quite big, with four courtyards and a small garden, 150 small rooms, and the price is not expensive, only [-] taels.

During the Taiping period, there was no such thing as 300 taels, but now it only costs half the price.

Shen Mu and Song Bai took a closer look at the house, and found that the house was really good, and it was completely new.There are some simple furniture inside, which are not needed by the Zhongfu, so they can be checked in with bags.

Shen Mu tugged at Song Bai's sleeve: "Is this house a bit too big?"

In the Song Mansion in Xing'an County, a large family and servants live in this big house.But now there are only three people, Shen Mu, Song Bai, and Liu Shi, it would be too wasteful to live in such a big house.

"It's okay to have a bigger stool." Song Bai thought it was okay, since he was staying temporarily anyway.Right now they need more room to store food.Housing prices are low, so it is good to buy an extra set and wait for a few years to rise in value.

Shen Mu didn't know much about investment, so after Song Bai said so, he didn't say anything more, and just made up his mind.

Yaren was overjoyed, and immediately went to Zhongfu to find someone who could make the decision, and went to the Yamen to transfer ownership.

It was Butler Zhong who came.

"Brother Shen?!" The old housekeeper was very surprised, "Didn't you go to Xing'an County to join your husband's house?"

Shen Mu smiled shyly, and tugged at Song Bai's sleeve: "Well, Uncle Zhong is good. I've found him, and now he's coming back with me."

"I have to tell the young master the news when I go back!" Butler Zhong was quite happy.When we parted at that time, no one knew whether we would meet again in this life.It's lucky that both parties are fine now.

Yaren was a little worried: "So you two know each other?"

Shen Mu nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Actually... After knowing that this house belongs to the Zhong family, Shen Mu also thought for a moment whether he should contact his senior brother directly.

After all, with his stingy personality, it is good to save the agency fee.

But looking at Yaren's tattered clothes and exposed skinny wrist, neither he nor Song Bai said that.

Song Bai gave Yaren ten taels of silver as an intermediary fee.

Yaren was very happy, thanked Song Bai with a thousand gratitude, took the initiative to manage the Yamen, and quickly completed the house and land deeds.

"Our wife is idle at home, so I'll ask her to help clean up!" The dental man's sallow face couldn't hide his joy.

The agency fee for house sales is usually three out of ten, and Song Bai paid more than double.

Song Bai comforted himself in his heart: The house they bought was already much lower than the market price, even if they paid the agency fee, they still made a lot of money.

"It's troublesome over there. Also, we plan to buy some more shops and land. If you have any news, you can come to us in the future."

Yaren went to find his wife to help clean.Butler Zhong saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Shen's husband is a kind-hearted man."

Song Bai shook his head: "Where. I always want to buy it. Who are you looking for?"

However, it is better to be able to help others by the way.

Because the purchase of the house went so smoothly and it was still early in the day, the two bid farewell to Butler Zhong, agreed to visit Senior Brother Zhong some time later, and then found a stall for lunch.

The price of food has skyrocketed. A bowl of plain noodles originally sold for six yuan, but now it has risen to fifteen yuan.

Song Bai wanted to buy two bowls of noodles with meat sauce, but Shen Mu stopped him: "Don't, the meat in this world...I'm afraid it won't be clean."

The famine has been going on for so long, and the pigs and chickens have long been eaten up.The meat stored now, I don’t know how long it has been stored, whether it is clean or not, or who knows what kind of animal meat it is...

Song Bai was also hesitant.In the end, the two ordered two bowls of plain noodles, laid eggs, and added vegetarian chicken.

That's all, it actually cost more than [-] Wen.

Song Bai sighed: "It's no wonder that Yaman is so thin." Other things are depreciating wildly, like houses, which are more than half cheaper.

But food is skyrocketing.The real estate and land were sold cheaply, but only a small amount of food could be bought back.

Fortunately, Song Bai had the foresight and had already asked Mr. and Mrs. Song to bring a large amount of grain... Otherwise, the grain they brought with them would not be enough to eat. According to the current price of grain in Fengshui County, I want to drag it Shenjiatun can draw blood.

Shen Mu frowned: "Let's...have nothing to do this afternoon, let's go back to the village and have a look."
