Chapter 46 Selling a House
Forget it, if Zhu's house could be sold for 120 taels, then they would be less than 120 taels of silver. How can they get this 120 taels? It's really worrying.
Chen thought for a moment, "Sell the sheep we bought, and Huixin got married. She originally wanted to give it to her, but she lived in the town and had no place to make grass. When we bought the sheep, we spent five taels of silver, and now we can still sell it at this price. In addition, we sold the land, and our family has a total of fifteen acres of land. Now one acre of land can be sold for eight to ten taels of silver, which is not much different. The barbed chime cannot be sold, this is our root. If it is not enough, sell the house. Our house can still be worth twenty or thirty taels."
After hearing this, the old man nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's do it like this. Zhixin, after dinner, you go to the village chief's house and ask if anyone wants to buy land? It's best to take the house with us. We can't take care of that much now. At worst, we can rent a house first. If this stick is not forced to be sold, it's our last reliance."
Xue had already prepared the meal, so she quickly brought it up, "Okay, let's have some food first, I haven't had a good meal these days." The whole family sat down to eat, Jingwan and Jingxian both cried and their eyes were red. Jinghan kept picking up food for them and advised them to eat more.
After dinner, Zhixin went to the village chief's house. After hearing Zhixin's words, the village chief sighed, "Zhixin, it's probably difficult for us to buy this in our village. Let's go to the town's too. Where is my place? I'll ask someone tomorrow? You're waiting for money to use, probably won't be sold at a good price. You have to know this. Your house is adobe, not worth much, only twenty taels? This is the money for building a house and land deeds? Nothing else is worth it. Oh, if your fourth brother is willing to help you? This one wouldn't be a big deal. The Han family is a well-known wealthy family in the town. I can't guess this person."
Zhixin also knew that the village chief was telling the truth? "Uncle, I'll write down what you said, so I'll trouble you? I'll go to Yahang tomorrow." After that, Zhixin said goodbye and went home.
That night, the people in the Xu family didn't sleep well. They tossed and turned one by one, thinking about how to live in the future. Jinghan was lying on the kang? She was thinking about it all over and over. She couldn't come up with a good idea. I don't know how long it took? Then she gradually fell asleep.
The next day? Zhixin was about to go to the town early in the morning. However, the village chief came to the Xu family and led someone. It was the eldest son of the Li family at the east end of the village. Zhixin saw it and hurried forward, "Uncle Zhou? Brother Li, why are you free to come to me today? Come in and sit in the house for a while."
"Zhixin, it's a coincidence. He said he wanted to buy a house for his eldest son to get married. He also wanted to buy some land and prepared it for his eldest son. I remembered that you left last night. I went to his house this morning and brought him here. You discussed it carefully and see that both parties were satisfied, so I quickly went through the procedures." After the village chief Zhou said that he left first, and he still had a lot of things.
Zhixin and Li Changsheng entered the house together, and Changsheng looked around at the Xu family's yard. In fact, although the Xu family's house is a house of adobe, it is well cleaned up. Zhixin is a diligent person. Every year in late summer and early autumn, he would clean up the house and take a good rest, so it looked pretty good. After entering the house, the old man was on the kang.
Li Changsheng quickly stepped forward to say hello to the old man, and then everyone talked about the house. "Old man, I like this house. If you look at it appropriate, we will settle down and find some documents. In addition, there are also those lands, I also want to buy them all at once, so you can just tell me the price."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Changsheng, this house is adobe, and it's really not worth much money. In this way, I don't want to have more, only thirty taels, which is just kung fu and house deeds. The fifteen acres of land, one acre and eight taels of silver, totaling one hundred and twenty taels, plus the house, it's one hundred and fifty taels. What do you think?"
Li Changsheng calculated that the price was reasonable, "Old man, your price is reasonable, but if you are in a hurry to use the money, I have to give you all the money at once. In this way, if you give me another ten taels, how about 140 taels?"
The old man thought for a while and thought it was okay. There is a rule for buying and selling transactions here, that is, you can pay a part of it first, and the other part can be paid until the autumn is finished before paying the money. If you pay all the cash, you have to give it some price to others. "Okay, we are all from the same village, so it's not easy to give it to you. Besides, it's just such a rule. OK, it's only 140 taels."
Li Changsheng nodded and smiled, "Then, I'll find someone to have some literary contracts now. Your family also needs money in urgent need, and my boss is also in a hurry to buy a house to get married. Let's do it as soon as possible." As he said that, Li Changsheng went out to find someone.
Not long after, someone in the village understood this and came back with Changsheng. He wrote a document for them and pressed his fingerprints on both sides. This was done. Logically speaking, the Xu family should have such a thing. Considering the situation of the Xu family, everyone didn't care.
After writing the text, Li Changsheng took out a cloth bag and put it on the kang, "Old man, this is one hundred and forty taels of silver, please take a look."
The old man opened the small bag and the silver ingots everywhere came, with silver ingots worth five taels per ingot. After counting, it was exactly twenty-eight, which was one hundred and forty taels. The old man sighed, "Changsheng, when will you move here, we can also make a house for you."
Li Changsheng thought for a while, "Uncle, it's better that my boss has already decided to get married within ten days. We still have to clean up the house, right? It's hard for uncle, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Okay, we will find a place in the next few days and promise to vacate the house for you within ten days." The old man agreed.
Since the two sides had made a decision, Li Changsheng went home. The old man called Chen and Xue, "Since we have sold the house, let's clean up quickly. This house has been living there for many years. You can take what you can, and you should throw away what you can't. People are anxious to move in, so we have to hurry up." After living in such a house, it was sold like this. The old man felt very uncomfortable.
Chen nodded and led Xue out to pack up his things. When Zhixin saw that the house had been sold, he led the sheep to the town. He finally found a restaurant to sell it and returned after selling it for five taels of silver. When he got home, the old man asked him to take all the money from his family to the county. When Zhu sold the house, he took Zhiming back directly.
Zhixin left with silver. The people at home were packing their things while waiting anxiously. Four days later, on February 29th, Zhixin led Zhiming and Zhu, and followed a big cart back. The car was naturally the things from Zhiming's family. They picked up Zhiming, and then everyone packed the things together and found a car to pull them back.
When Zhiming saw his parents, he knelt in front of his parents. "Dad, mom, it's a bad thing for his son. His son's parents are so old that they don't even have a place to settle down. Son deserves to die." As he said that, he kowtowed to the ground. Zhu also knelt on the side and kept kowtowing.
When Zhixin and Xue saw this, they quickly stepped forward and pulled them up, "Third brother, forget it, you are just talking about memorization, you can't blame you. I asked Qing New Year, and he also said that your medicine is fine, this is fate, who told us that we have no power or power? If someone in our family is an official in the court, who would dare to bully you?"
After hearing Zhixin's words, the old man said, "Third brother, your brother is right. Don't forget to think about this. We are a family, so we have to support each other. Don't be sad. It's just a hurdle in front of us, so we'll be fine if we go there. Let's think about where to move? We've been looking for houses everywhere these days, but we can't find one. In addition, we've sold all the land, what should we do in the future? We can't buy all the food, right?" The old man discussed with everyone about the future.
Jinghan was originally in the outer room, but now she came in from outside, "Master, grandma, parents, can we go up the mountain to see the tour? I remember that when I went up the mountain last year, there were several houses in the venue. Now we have no place to live, so we have a place to live first. Besides, we can still have a thirty taels of silver a year, which is enough for our family to spend. In a few years, we will recover and buy a house again." She heard about it that day and thought about it. Later, the house was sold, and she kept thinking about it, and now she proposed it.
The old man glanced at Jinghan and said, "Yes, why didn't we expect it? Although this is a bit harder to see the censorship, we can always support us. Yes, Jinghan is right, Zhixin, go and talk to the village chief, let's go and see the censorship. We have to live our lives first, so we can't have a family without a place to live."
After hearing this, Zhixin felt that his daughter's idea was OK, so he quickly went out to discuss with the village chief.
Chen hugged Jinghan, "My good granddaughter, why are you so smart? You can come up with this method. Now, we don't have to worry about the house anymore. We can still make some investments in a year and save money slowly. We can always buy a house in the future." The old lady's hair has turned much white in the past few days. Now she sees a light, and she looks a little smiling.
With the problem solved, the whole family was relieved. They quickly went out to pack up their things and prepared to buy a house for them.
