husband in another world

Chapter 92 Demolition

"Yes, we want to buy your house. I don't know if my sister-in-law is the head of the house. We can negotiate the price. If you move to another place, you can live in the same big house. Not to mention, you can still have one or two more than what you have now. Two silver coins." He Xi studied with Zhou Jing for a period of time, and he is very good at grasping people's hearts.He could tell from the way the woman was dressed that the family was very poor, and he was very tempted to move this kind of family and still have one or two taels of silver left over.

"You guys wait a minute, I'll go into the house and ask my head of the house, and I can only let you in if he agrees."

He Xi smiled and said, "Of course, we'll just wait outside."

When the woman entered the house, she rejoiced and said: "The head of the house, two people came outside and said they wanted to buy our house. They are taking advantage of them. They are willing to pay one or two taels more than the market price."

"Is there such a good thing?" The man jumped up from the kang, his eyes glowed with excitement, "Don't be a liar?"

The woman said: "What are you afraid of? The land deed and the house deed are in our hands. He doesn't have enough money to pay, so we won't let him go to the yamen to transfer the ownership."

The man nodded, "Yes, where's the person?"

"Outside the door, not allowed in."

The man hurriedly put on his shoes and came out to greet him, "Come in quickly, both of you."

He Xi entered the house together with another person sent by the Qian Mansion.

I have to say that Zhou Jing is very good at choosing places, and the people who live on Dongjie are all poor people.Sometimes the poor in the town can't compare to the countryside. The land for the countrymen is cheaper, and there are still fields to grow.Those in the town can only work hard to make money. When you meet a good owner, you can pay on time and on time. When you encounter a bad owner, you can deduct a little, and it is not uncommon that you can only get one month in two or three months.What's more, the land price is more than twice as expensive as that in the countryside, and the labor is also expensive. Everywhere you move is money.

He Xi and the others found that the house was an earthen embryo house, which had been built for many years. There were many places on the roof of the house that had been wiped off, and the corners of the walls were still damp.The broken plank bed was crumbling, and several quilts were piled up. The ground in the house seemed to be always uncleaned. There were brooms, shovels and other household items.

The man wiped his face and said embarrassingly: "The house is simple, the two guests don't dislike it."

"No, no." He Xi really can't, isn't this kind of life he lived in the past, but after he met Master Zhou, everything became better.Such a bad environment is far away from him. Now that the family has rebuilt the house, the children have their own rooms, not to mention how convenient it is.

"You want to buy our house?" the man asked.

He Xidao: "Yes, I don't know how you sell it?"

The man took a look at his own house, and it can be said that the house is completely bare. The house is almost to the point where it can't be mastered, but the two people in front of him don't seem to be able to live in this environment.

"You two have also seen that my house is about to be flipped. If it is not flipped, people can't live in it. I don't think you have money. I don't know that you bought our broken house in this poor place. What is the house for?"

He Xi frowned slightly, "Brother, we just want to buy your house. If you think the price is right, sell it to us. As for whether we flip it over or not, it's up to us."

There is no such thing as land occupation in later generations, and the public will not occupy land, so they really don't know that someone will take over their houses and build a commercial street.And He Xi didn't want to disclose it because he was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.

The man thought about it but couldn't think of anything, so he said: "30 taels, give me 30 taels and I'll sell it."

He Xi got up immediately, and said with a sneer, "How big is your own house? There are only two rooms in total. You want 30 taels. Are you extorting us? To tell you the truth, I don't have to buy your house. The East Street is so big. It doesn’t matter who you buy from. It’s just that there is a relative from out of town who plans to come to join me and has no place to live. He is thinking about buying your place at a cheaper price. If you don’t want to sell it, let it go.” He said and left.The Qian Mansion who followed him was terrified. If someone refused to leave, they would all have to suffer because of how their lord built a commercial street.

The man didn't want to leave and kept giving He Xi winks, but He Xi insisted on leaving.

When the man saw this situation, he understood that he was interested in the place of his house, but because of the high price, he offended the customer.

He hurriedly said: "Look, buying a house here is also a business. It's normal to bargain high or low. Why do you leave if you disagree!"

He Xi said: "Your price is too high. With this money, I can buy a house in other places. It's bigger than this, and better than your house."

The man was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said: "I think you have already asked a lot of people, how about it, 23 taels of silver, this time I don't want more from you, any less will not work."

He Xi thought for a while and said, "That's pretty much the same. In this way, here is a letter of intent. You sign it first, which is a preliminary decision. I will show it to my master later. If he agrees, we can sign the contract."

"Letter of intent?" The man was illiterate, but he was afraid of being cheated, so he refused to sign.

"It doesn't matter. If you are afraid that we will deceive you, we can go to the yamen to sign. The yamen servants there will notarize both of us. No one can deceive the other."

This guy agreed.

The newly opened county magistrate of the commercial street knew that it would be difficult to carry out such a large project without greeting the yamen.The new county magistrate was a student of Feng Wanzhan, and he obeyed Feng Wanzhan's orders, so his attitude towards Zhou Jing was as kind as a brother's, and he said whatever Zhou Jing said.

After saying hello to him, the county magistrate specially opened a special office, where all the commercial streets work, and the small official has been instructed, so it is not difficult for others.

"This is a sales agreement. He wants to buy your house, and you also intend to sell him. The price is about 23 taels. This has no legal effect. It should be that he can't do it. Signing such an agreement with you will give you Look at the master at home, to prove that you agree with this price, it’s not that he just talked nonsense, or raised the price from it, that’s what it means.”

"So that's how it is." The man understood it immediately, but he was still uneasy and asked: "Then if I sign the contract, will the house still be mine?"

"Yes. It's still yours. It has nothing to do with him. It's just that you have such a mind to buy it, and he has such a mind to buy it."

Only then did the man feel relieved and signed the signature. After all, there were certificates from the Yamen, so the common people dared to believe many things.

As for why they didn't sign a formal contract directly, they planned to do a survey to see how many families on East Street were willing to sell their houses.If they don't want to sell more, they bought them first, and wouldn't these houses just fall into their hands.

There are more than [-] households in the East Street, and the contract of intent showed that basically all of them were willing to move. Only two households asked for a bit high price. Although it was high, Zhou Jing and the others could agree to it after discussing it.

So in October of this year, a large number of residents on East Street moved out, and many of them even stole their doors and took them away when they moved out.

After that, it’s time to build a house. Each family will pay 200 taels for the initial investment to build the first batch of houses. The money is definitely not enough and needs to be increased later.

A lot of labor has been added to Liuzhen for a while, because the Zhou family is there, the food is always delicious, and the bills are settled on time every month without any delay, which makes many people a lot more comfortable.

The commercial street is a lucrative business, that is, the initial investment is large, but after Zhou Jing and Wang Ren talked about their strong relationship, Wang Ren still decided to participate. The funds in his hand were not enough, so Zhou Jing asked him to owe the sausage shop the bonus first. There is no need to give it, and I will pay it back if there is money in the future. Wang Ren is only enough to occupy a small position. If it weren't for the face of Zhou Jing, the leader, Wang Ren's family's financial resources would not be able to occupy a small position.

After working for a few months, Zhou Jing slowly got back on track, and he took Shen Mo back to visit two workshops in the countryside.These two places were managed by Shen Mo himself before, and Shen Mo was always afraid of mistakes, so he urged Zhou Jing to have time to go and have a look. As it happened that day was free, the two returned to Wangjia Village in a carriage.

But in one summer, Wangjia Village changed drastically. Many mud houses were demolished and tile-roofed houses were rebuilt.Nowadays, most of the houses in the village are tile-roofed houses. From a distance, they are more grand than other villages.

I went to the sausage workshop first, and everything was running in an orderly manner. Everyone in the workshop wore a mask.

"Master Zhou, Zhou Fulang, don't worry, the villains are watching. You said that what we do is to eat cleanly. The villains have told them that if anyone dares to touch the food without washing his hands after going to the toilet, once found If you dare not wear a mask, you will be expelled, and your monthly bonus will be deducted."

"You did a good job." Zhou Jing nodded with a smile, said a few words of encouragement, and planned to visit the workshop on the other side.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, before he got into the carriage, he could hear Cheng Yuniang's scolding from afar.Cheng Yu was startled, not knowing who his mother was arguing with, so he hurried over to see.

"You stinky shameless, tell me what you think. Being your girl is still a sweet potato. Who doesn't know that he came to the town to be a child, and if you are a child, do it well. He is still a scourge, and he has a relationship with Zhu Jianye." The little concubine got involved, and the two joined forces to harm Master Zhou. After all, Master Zhou was lucky and did not harm him, and Zhu Jianye's little wife deserved what she deserved when she was sold to the flower house, so why did you lose your daughter?"

Wang Fen was scolded bloody, and wanted to scold back with her hips on her hips, but when she saw the crowds around, she thought of her girl who went to be a child in someone's house and was kicked back, her face panicked with embarrassment.Holding her daughter's hand and slipping away, Zhang Ju also lost her former arrogance and arrogance.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Cheng Yu hurried over and asked.

Cheng Yuniang was so angry that she seemed to be insulted by the sky, and she said like pouring beans: "I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. That Zhang Ju, she was a child for others, and because she was with someone The bad guys colluded and were kicked back by the master of the family, but his mother dared to come to our house to propose marriage to you!"

"What?" Cheng Yu pointed to himself, "He wants to tell me his daughter?"

"Shame on you, bah, she is so beautiful that her big nose is bubbling! Our family is separated now, my son has land and a house, and he bought a mule a few days ago. How many little girls are willing to marry here? That scourge of your family, just like the kind of woman she befriends, she herself wouldn't be a fun thing!"

Zhou Jing and Shen Mo finally understood, it turned out that Zhang Ju returned home after being divorced, and her elder brother, sister-in-law and parents thought she was very unpleasant.People in the village were always pointing and sarcastic, and Zhang Ju was divorced this time, and her husband's family didn't give her a penny, they only took some old clothes, so the family couldn't tolerate her even more.

Wang Fen wanted to remarry her daughter, but in the end it was her own, and she couldn't bear to mention those cripples or old widowers.After thinking about it, he thought of Cheng Yu.Cheng Yu is older than Zhou Jing, because of his short stature, he has always been discriminated against, and his family is poor, so he hasn't mentioned a daughter-in-law all these years.Until recent years, he joined Zhou's family to work, and by virtue of his ability, he became a steward in the workshop, and also worked as a salesman himself, running at both ends and making money at both ends.

Cheng Yuniang is a serious business person, she loves her eldest son dearly, and she doesn't want her eldest son to live without a wife and no one in the house cares for her, so she decides to separate the family.There is an old saying in the village that the parents do not separate the family, but if the parents are alive, they will separate the family, and people will poke the back of the family.But Cheng Yuniang didn't care about this, and insisted on living and separating.At first, the villagers couldn't understand Cheng Yuniang's thoughts. Not long after the separation, Cheng Yu bought a homestead, built four large tile-roofed houses, and bought a mule a few days later, and the villagers suddenly realized.This Cheng Yu's family loves the eldest son and does not want the eldest son to suffer.If they lived together, all the money earned by the eldest son would have to be confiscated, and it would be used to support the whole family. It would be impossible for him to earn some private house.

But the reality was before his eyes again, if his eldest son didn't show some family background, no girl from his own family would be willing to marry him based on his own shortcomings, he was afraid that such a man would not be able to support the family.

Now this separation has completely let the villagers see Cheng Yu's family background. In future generations, he will have a house, a car, savings, and a stable job.In this way, his own shortcomings can be easily overlooked. No matter how tall or short, he is a good man if he can feed his mother-in-law enough and clothe him warmly.

The villagers were ready to introduce marriage to Cheng Yu again.But this time, it was Cheng Yu who didn't agree, so he picked a few girls and gave up without finding a good match.

Unexpectedly, Wang Fen saw this, and felt that her daughter Zhang Ju had an opportunity.And when Cheng Yu was under the condition of the past, he could not be called a daughter-in-law, but he led his daughter to the door, so let's talk to Cheng Yuniang.To sum it up, her daughter is so beautiful, seeing Cheng Yu of his family is the blessing that Cheng Yu of his family has cultivated in several lifetimes, so she quickly knelt and licked her daughter.

Angrily took Cheng Yuniang with a broom and beat her out, but she didn't let go of her hatred, she chased and scolded Cheng Yuniang with her hips on her hips, and finally ran away shamelessly.

Shen Mo was dumbfounded after hearing this.

Zhou Jingdao: "Little Mo, there must be people in this world who have brains just to avoid being scary."
