0158 The Zhu family gave in and bought the ancestral house

Because of the hot weather, the back door of the Lin family’s door was open, and the transparent wind in the front and back blew, which was as cool as the mountain wind.

After dinner, the family was sitting in the backyard and chatting.

At this time, when everyone heard the old lady Zhang’s speech in the front yard, Lin Dazhu stood up and walked to the back door and asked, “Is it Aunt Zhang? Is there anything wrong?”

"Dazhu, Dazhu!" Old Mrs. Zhang's voice was very cheerful.

Lin Dazhu walked into the main hall.

Lin Yuan was curious and followed him over.

"Aunt Zhang, what's the matter? Look at you so happy." Lin Dazhu asked with a smile, pointing at the chair and asking Aunt Zhang to sit down and say.

Old Mrs. Zhang found a chair and sat down. Lin Yuan called out Grandma Zhang and stood behind Lin Dazhu.

"Oh, the garden is at home." Old Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "The wife of the Zhu family next door said she wanted to sell that old house. Didn't that old house be built by your old man back then? Why didn't you buy it? The price is not high, it's only fifty taels."

Lin Yuan was very happy, hehe, Madam Zhu really couldn't wait, so she took the initiative to come to her door.

Old Mrs. Zhang came to the door, it was the wife of the Zhu family who secretly invited her?

Mrs. Lin also walked into the room with a bus fan and sighed, "Fifty taels, I don't have fifty taels of silver in my family, and I can't take out five taels of silver."

Lin Yuan had discussed with his family in advance. If the other party took the initiative to look for it, he would lower the price. Not to mention that the family is rich, he would say it was pitiful.

Lin Dazhu also agreed, "The family has been owing debts before, and it has just been paid back, and I haven't saved much money. The two children of Yuanzi and Xiaoen rented a shop in the town a few days ago and took all the money from the family to pay the rent. Where can I still have money? Alas, I want to buy it, but I don't have money. Besides, those fifty taels... For our family, it's like a number of days."

When Mrs. Zhang heard what the couple said, she asked again, "I said Dazhu, Dazhu's wife, do you really want to buy it? Or do you think about it casually?"

"Of course I want to buy it, I don't have any money." Lin Dazhu sighed.

"If you don't want to buy it, you always ask this topic. We just say that we don't buy it, and we don't raise the price." Mrs. Lin also said.

Lin Yuan said at this time, "Grandma Zhang, what my father and mother mean is, can the Zhu family be cheaper? The price is lower, and I may buy it if I borrow it, but the price is too high, so we can't borrow it, so we can't help it. Or is his family willing to owe it? Let us move in first, and we will live in a few years, and then pay it back if our family has money in a few years?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. His family is still waiting for the money." Old Mrs. Zhang, who was quick-talking, said immediately, and found that she had missed her mouth. She immediately smiled embarrassedly, "Yes, as long as you want to buy it, I'll be an intermediary for you to promote this deal."

Lin Dazhu said, "If you convince the Zhu family, you will be really grateful to Aunt Zhang."

"It's all neighbors, what are you talking about?" Old Mrs. Zhang waved her hand with a smile, got up and left.

Seeing Old Mrs. Zhang walk out of the yard door, Lin Yuan immediately said to Lin Dazhu and his wife, "Dad, mother, right? The Zhu family is anxious."

Madam Lin sighed, "I'm afraid she thinks the price is too low, so she won't sell it anymore."

"No, my daughter has found out that his family is short of money!"

...

Mrs. Zhu, who was short of money, immediately went to find Mrs. Zhang quietly after learning that Mrs. Zhang had gone to find Mrs. Zhang.

"I see, their family wants to buy it. But you also know that the Lin family is not a rich family. If you pay 50 taels, their family will shake their heads." Old Mrs. Zhang said.

"Didn't I say it? The price can be appropriately lower." Mrs. Zhu said again, "If the price is lower, will their family buy it?"

"The price is low, of course they will buy it!" said Old Mrs. Zhang.

I thought to myself, a dilapidated house was sold for fifty taels, and only the Lin family was stupid, so I wanted to buy it. Who else would want it?

The Lin family wanted to buy it, probably because it was the ancestral house, otherwise, no matter how cheap it was, people wouldn't want it.

Mrs. Zhu gritted her teeth, "Forty-five liang, ask them if they want it. Please give me another message."

Old Mrs. Zhang stood up, patted her sleeves, "Yes, I'll go over and ask later."

Mrs. Zhu hurriedly pulled her sleeve, "Auntie, please go tomorrow. You have just been to the Lin family. Now they think I am in a hurry to sell it, so they will definitely lower the price."

Old Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

...

On the evening of the next day, at the same time, Mrs. Zhang came to the Lin family again.

She smiled and said the words of Madam Zhu, "The Zhu family said that forty-five taels is the lowest price. I ask if your family agrees or not."

Lin Dazhu smoked dry tobacco without saying a word.

Regarding money, Mrs. Lin would habitually frown.

Lin Yuan said at this time, "Grandma Zhang, our family can't take out the forty-five taels of silver. My family can only take out the maximum of thirty taels. No matter how much it is, I really can't take out the price."

Lin En glanced at Lin Yuan and didn't say anything.

Madam Lin and Lin Dazhu were still lowering their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

Grandma Zhang said in her heart that Lin Dazhu's eldest daughter is indeed smart, and the price is really low.

However, she was just a messenger, and she couldn't express her opinion, so she smiled and said, "Sure, I'll pass on a message for your family. Let's see what the Zhu family means. If her family agrees, she will definitely come in person."

"Thank you, Grandma Zhang." Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

Old Mrs. Zhang left the Lin family and before she could return to her own house, she was pulled into her own yard by Mrs. Zhu who had been guarding the door.

"Aunt Zhang, how about it? What is the attitude of the Lin family?" Mrs. Zhu asked impatiently.

Old Mrs. Zhang said Lin Yuan's words, "Thirty taels are the highest price."

"What?" Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she was not even able to jump. "I'm not selling a thatched house, thirty taels? Why don't they grab it?"

"The Lin family is poor. When I spoke forty-five taels, the whole family was shocked. Dazhu's wife turned pale because of scaring. Lin Dazhu didn't say a word, and sat aside and kept smoking dry cigarettes." Old Mrs. Zhang sighed.

Madam Zhu pursed her lips and said, "Let me think about it."

Old Mrs. Zhang said, "You have to think about it. Selling a house is a big deal. I'll go back first. You'll think about it before you find me."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang left, Mrs. Zhu immediately found her man Zhu Chenggui and her son Zhu Quanxi, and told them about the price of the Lin family.

One of these two people is not in charge of the matter and the other is anxious to sell. They all say that Mrs. Zhu is the only one who decides.

The matter between the Zhu family has always been decided by Mrs. Zhu. She told the man and her son the price of selling the house, just to get some comfort, but neither of them expressed their opinion, Mrs. Zhu had to make a decision and sell it.

Thirty taels of silver are better than not being able to collect a penny.

As for the Lin family, after Mrs. Zhang left, the whole family talked about it again, especially Mrs. Lin, who began to worry again, "The price of the garden is too low, thirty taels! It is much worse than the fifty taels of silver that the Zhu family first bought. What if her family regrets it?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, their family will not go back on their word, just rush to sell it."

"Why?" Mrs. Lin asked with a wink.

Lin Yuan smiled, "Because I found that the Zhu family's wife went to look for Grandma Zhang more than once, which shows that she is in a hurry!"

...

However, Mrs. Zhu wanted to save face and waited until the evening of the third day before she found Mrs. Zhang and asked Mrs. Zhang to come forward and make an appointment with the Lin family.

The two families, as well as witnesses, Mrs. Zhang, the son of Mrs. Zhang, and Li Zheng, met at the Zhu family together.

After writing the contract for selling the house, the two families checked it out without any problems. Both parties signed and laid their handprints, the Zhu family handed over the land deed and the house deed, and the Lin family handed over thirty taels of silver, which was considered a transaction.

Holding a few pieces of silver, Mrs. Zhu reluctantly handed over the land deed and the house deed, and said to her son and her man, "Let me find a ox cart tomorrow and take away our furniture."

"I'm going to my uncle's house for a drink tomorrow. Where can I have time? The day after tomorrow." Zhu Chenggui shook his head and said.

"Then it's the day after tomorrow." Mrs. Zhu nodded.

"The day after tomorrow, isn't it the day after tomorrow that my cousin's youngest son celebrates his first birthday? Our whole family has to go!" Zhu Quanxi also said.

"Then let's go to the day after tomorrow." said Mrs. Zhu.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes. What does the Zhu family mean? Move furniture every day?

Did it happen?
