Chapter 16 [Gu Tianya's first performance](1/2)
"If you want to buy land, you can..."
"Although I don't have much authority as a manager, I can still make the decision to sell some graveyards..."
"The key is, are you worthy?"
"In other words, do you poor people in Gujia Village deserve it?"
"Poor people must have the consciousness of being poor."
"When a person dies, he needs a piece of land on credit. You treat our Sun family as a charity? Have you ever heard of the principle of helping people in need rather than helping the poor?
"If you can't afford to die, don't die. Don't always use the rhetoric that it's important to die to win pity. This rhetoric is not only used by the poor people in your Gujia Village..."
"No money? If you don't have any money, get out."
"You want to be buried? Do you want to bury it yourself?"
"You can't afford a burial, right? If you can't afford a burial, then don't bury them! Your Gujia village is close to a river. You can throw people into the river for water burial. It saves money and effort, and you don't have to beg anyone. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Spit stars were flying all over the sky.
It was the manager who was getting angry all the time.
As the saying goes, people's words are like knives, and I am fish. When others use knives to chop them into pieces, it's not that they can't resist. Unfortunately, when people are poor and have short ambitions, no matter how great the humiliation is, they can only endure it silently.
So from the beginning to the end, Gu Tianya always had a flattering smile on his face. It wasn't until the manager in front of him scolded him that he was satisfied. Then Gu Tianya bowed his hands and said calmly: "Then, let's follow the old rules.
No? Sell a corner of our wasteland and allow us to repay the debt slowly on credit. For two hundred coins, I will weave a reed mat to pay the bill..."
"Bah, no!"
The steward suddenly spat, as if some of the resentment in his heart had not yet been released. He looked at Gu Tianya with a cold snort and said, "It used to be two hundred coins, but now it costs three hundred coins."
Price increase?
A direct increase of one hundred cents?
This is obviously a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
Gu Tianya couldn't help but feel angry, but his face remained calm. Not only did he remain calm, but his tone even became humble, and he pretended to be shy: "Why did the price suddenly increase?"
Without waiting for the steward to speak, he then pretended to be submissive and said: "The cemeteries are all wasteland and have no use except for burying people. A tomb wasteland is only two feet long and wide, and it is sold at the price of irrigated land."
, you can only sell it for two hundred cents at most.
But when we came to buy the cemetery fields in the past, we already spent the purchase price of the irrigated fields. Although the price was high, we were willing to bear it. After all, we were paying on credit, and the higher price could be used as interest. But now
, but now..."
"What now?" The manager snorted coldly.
Gu Tianya deliberately pretended to be an aggrieved poor boy, and replied with a pitiful face: "Now you want three hundred cents, these three hundred cents, these three hundred cents, these three hundred cents are really too high."
The person in charge snorted coldly again, clearly deliberately making things difficult, and said sarcastically: "Then you don't have to buy it."
Gu Tianya took a deep breath, as if he was being forced by someone and felt extremely sad. Suddenly he looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, as if he was very helpless and said: "Then... that's fine, just three hundred yuan."
The manager was stunned. He never expected that Gu Tianya would agree.
The guy's face twitched slightly, and he suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Okay, bring me the reed mats. For three hundred coins, you have to bring forty reed mats to cover..."
Gu Tianya seemed to be stunned for a moment, and he didn't know whether he was really surprised or fake. He asked deliberately and stupidly: "Weren't we all on credit before? Why should I give Lu Xi first this time?"
"Ha, what a joke!"
The steward let out a disdainful 'ha', and said even more harshly: "Since ancient times, when buying and selling, one hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods. If you can't bring out the reed mat now, then get out of here as far away as you can from me."
.”
However, Gu Tianya didn't seem to listen to his sarcasm. Instead, he suddenly asked a very meaningful question: "Do you no longer have the right to sell the land?"
Do you no longer have the right to sell the land?
With just this sentence, the steward suddenly seemed to be angry and angry. He suddenly jumped up and yelled: "You are so blind that you still dare to guess about the Sun family. Get out of here, get out of here."
Let alone three hundred pennies today, you can't even think of buying land for one thousand pennies. I'm telling you this, no matter who comes to intercede, this matter is dead today and cannot be changed, so get out of here.
"
However, Gu Tianya still didn't seem to listen to these words. Instead, he suddenly said in a long voice: "Oh...it turns out that you really have no right to sell the land."
"fart!"
The steward became more and more furious. He suddenly reached out and took out a seal from his arms, and cursed angrily: "Blind your dog's eyes and see what this is? This is the steward's seal of the Sun family. This is the steward's seal of the Sun family."
Ahh..."
He yelled and lost his composure, causing a group of servants in front of Sun's house not far away to look at him, but they carefully maintained their appearance as if they had not seen him.
Gu Tianya naturally recognized the seal in the steward's hand.
The Miyun Sun family is a wealthy family, with countless fields and property, over a hundred servants, and dozens of properties. Such a wealthy family has countless trivial matters that need to be dealt with every day. Naturally, it is impossible for the person in power in the family to personally intervene in all of them.
Therefore, some small matters have to be decided by the domestic slaves.
For example, the entire Sun family must have at least seven or eight of these steward seals. They are usually given to the more favored stewards to take charge of them, and are used to deal with trivial matters that are not on the table.
Selling grave plots is a trivial matter for Sun.
With this seal, you only need to write out a deed of sale and stamp it, and there is no need to take it to the Yamen for filing. The sale of the cemetery and wasteland is considered a deal.
The steward suddenly took out his seal and yelled curses, which was just to show Gu Tianya that he still had authority. He cursed very loudly and looked extremely angry.
However, a biting dog does not bark.
The more he yelled, the more Gu Tianya knew that this manager's good days were over.
Maybe it won't be long before this steward's seal will have to be withdrawn.
So what Gu Tianya has to do now is very simple. He needs to take advantage of the opportunity to completely make the other party angry. Then the other party loses his cool when he is so angry and writes him a deed of land sale and stamps it.
Previously, Gu Tianya's attitude was to be patient.
Previously, Gu Tianya was just pretending to be submissive.
Tolerance and pretense belong to humility.
Then he asked suddenly, deliberately asking the steward if he had lost his position.
When the manager became angry, he began to mock again.
Asking and ridiculing are arrogant.
The old saying is about being arrogant at first and respectful at the end. However, Gu Tianya used the phrase "respectful at the beginning and arrogant at the end". He treats you with humility at first, and then suddenly turns to arrogance. Under such a strong contrast, the more powerless a person is, the more unbearable it is.
.
Thus, Gu Tianya's goal was achieved.
The steward, in a state of shame and anger, kept waving his seal for Gu Tianya to see, saying, "Are you blind?" and "Please give me a good look."
Gu Tianya's eyes were bright, and he took the opportunity to say something suddenly, and said provocatively again: "Although the seal is still there, do you still have the courage to seal it?"
"Fart!" the steward yelled, as if he was roaring: "Today I'm going to let you open your dog eyes and see if I have the right to use this chapter again."
Acting like this is actually human nature.
People in the world are like this, they can't stand loss, especially when their loss is seen by someone who is inferior to them.
If Gu Tianya is a big shot, then even if the manager loses his power, he would not dare to get angry in front of Gu Tianya. However, Gu Tianya is a poor boy who is always being ordered around by him.
Seeing yourself losing ground by a poor boy who is bossing you around is the real reason why the manager can't bear it.
This manager is determined to win before he loses power.
Land, he had to sell it to Gu Tianya today.
If he were a truly smart person, he would not be like this as a domestic slave. He knew that he was about to lose power and would not use the seal even if it was not taken back. He would just wait and wait for his master to ask him to hand it back.
Seal on hand.
However, he was unwilling to do so.
He felt unwilling to be in front of a poor boy like Gu Tianya.
While he was yelling, he actually took out a piece of paper, then gritted his teeth viciously, yelled and cursed and asked Gu Tianya to write the deed.
After Gu Tianya finished writing, the seal in the steward's hand fell heavily.
"It's done!" Gu Tianya was overjoyed.
With this deed, Ayao's mother's graveyard was purchased. As for the credit debt, she could slowly repay it by weaving reed mats later.
He stretched out his hand to stuff Wenqi into his arms...
…
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone behind me suddenly smiled faintly and said, "Who do you think I am? It turns out to be Sun Si in charge! Tsk, tsk, tsk, let me take a look, what are you doing? Oh, selling land.
Woolen cloth……"
Gu Tianya was secretly happy, and he quietly took out the Wenqi that was about to be stuffed into his arms.
And the steward Sun Si, who was holding the seal, had clearly turned red at this time.
To be continued...
