C74 Liu family house

Although Lu Jinfeng had grown up in the Xingyu Village, he had always been an unlucky person in the village. Wherever he went, the children would throw mud and mud around, and after a while, they would grow up to be solitary and eccentric, even more so than the girls in the pavilion. It was practically as if the gate of the village was closed, and if someone asked him how many people there were in the village, he might not even be able to answer their questions, let alone ask him if he knew the way.

Fortunately, they were alive and relied on their mouths. Due to the wild boar meat, many people in the village had a better impression of them. Some people were willing to answer their questions and follow the directions, and they soon arrived at Grandma Sun's house.

Grandma Sun's house was an ordinary thatched cottage built in the village. There were two houses, one with mud walls, the other with pea seedlings climbing on the walls. There was a small yard between the two houses, in which chickens were looking for food.

It was indeed a small farmhouse with a unique flavor, but with two houses so close together and a shared courtyard, they would meet Grandma Sun and her family in the future. If the neighbors were not on good terms, quarrelling was inevitable.

Merely by taking a few glances at the door, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu had the thought of rejecting the idea.

Grandma Sun was cleaning the yard, but when she saw them arrive, she happily welcomed them and asked, "Second Brother and his wife have both gone to work. If you want to find someone, you will have to wait for a while."

"I'm not looking for someone." Chen Mu Mu Mu thought about the words she should use, 'don't hit a smiling person'. Granny Sun saw that she was a kind old woman, so she couldn't be too provocative. "I heard the village head say that you have a house that you want to sell, so we came to take a look."

"So you want to buy a house." "As you can see, my house really isn't the best. Second brother's house is fine, but eldest brother's family has already moved out of the country, and no one lives in it. Every time there's a storm, there's a leak."

Grandma Sun opened the fence and led them into the house. "Although my son is not around to see people thinking, my house is not willing to sell. However, my second brother needs money these days. If you like, just sell it for eight taels of silver. "

The room was quite spacious and was about a hundred square meters wide. It was divided into three rooms and had a separate kitchen. It was rather suitable for living. However, the lighting was not very good. There were two sides to the mountain and one side to the large forest. Even though it was dark inside the house, it still felt chilly after entering. If one did not light the lamp, they would not be able to clearly see what was inside.

If the lighting in the house was not good, he could just reject it.

Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head, he looked at Lu Jinfeng and also saw dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Thus, she tactfully refused: "Granny, my mother is too old for such a dark room. I'm really sorry."

Granny Sun did not insist and said, "If you don't want to buy, then don't. I also want to leave some thought for my eldest son. Even though this house is dark, I am also quite reluctant to let it go."

Grandma Sun looked at the two of them and said, "You two children are still young, why are you looking for a house to live in? The houses that you bought are not as good as the ones that you built yourself. You can build one yourself, and if you don't have enough manpower, you can get my family to build it for you. "

"Thank you granny for your kind intentions, we remember." After exchanging some pleasantries, the two bid farewell to Granny Sun.

Wu Lao San was having lunch at home, Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng went over, and after explaining the reason for their visit, Wu Lao San's expression became odd, "Aren't you guys afraid of misfortune?"

"Natural and man-made disasters are unavoidable. It depends on one's luck, how can it be called bad luck?" Chen Mu Mu Mu said.

"Sigh, there really are people who aren't afraid of death. "Okay, I'll give you guys the key. Go take a look." The Wu Lao San laughed and threw a bunch of keys over to them.

The Wu Lao San Brothers' house was a little smaller than Grandma Sun's house, but the lighting was good and the environment was also good. It was quite a distance away from Wu Lao San's house and they did not have to lower their heads to see it, avoiding a lot of trouble. Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng liked it.

However, when the s wanted to buy a house, their desire to buy a house suddenly plummeted.

Finally, Lu Jinfeng said, "Third Uncle, let's go back and discuss this with Mother."

"There's no need for discussion. If you're willing, then I'll sell it to you for three silver coins." Wu Lao San waved the key in his hand, "All the villagers are my own people, I won't take advantage of you. This house is definitely worth ten taels of silver."

"No need, I have to ask mother about something as big as buying a house." Lu Jinfeng still refused.

"You're already a large number of people, you still can't make up your mind?" Wu Lao San said unhappily.

"No matter how old you are, it is only proper for you to show respect to your elders." Lu Jinfeng replied.

"Come on, I obviously don't want it. I don't dare to take it." The Wu Lao San scoffed, "I already said that whoever dares to buy this unlucky house is indeed here to trick me. Come, come, come. Don't bother me. I'm busy. "

Wu Lao San was an impatient person, if he was unhappy, he would directly kick him out.

On the other hand, Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng did not wish for too much, since they did not want the house, they left the Wu Lao San's house.

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Other people would be more than happy to put all the nice words on the table, but he seems to be more than eager to see others not buy it." On the way back, Chen Mu Mu Mu sighed.

"Maybe he doesn't even want to sell it." Lu Jinfeng said, "The most important part of the customs in the village is having a house and having a home, the average person will only build a house, and will not sell it. He said those words just to let us know and back off. "

"Whatever, I don't want to sell it, nor do I plan to force it. Moreover, it sounds so bad." Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head.

However, there were only these two families that were willing to sell their houses. Since both families had failed to reach an agreement, could it be that they could only build their own houses?

"It's a sad thing to build your own house."

Ignoring the fact that he was wasting time and manpower, most importantly... Madam Lee and Lu Jinfeng's reputation in the village was still very bad, they had to invite people to build a house, were those people who did not like them willing to help?

It was quite embarrassing to be unable to find someone or to ask someone to build a house at double the price.

Lu Jinfeng looked at her in silence, his mouth opened a little, and the words reached his mouth, he thought for a moment, then swallowed them back.

Chen Mu Mu Mu had sharp eyes and noticed his movements. He snappily replied, "Speak whatever you want to say. There's no need to hide it from me. It's not like I'm going to eat you up."

"I was going to say that if you don't want to build your own house, there's another one that can be considered." Lu Jinfeng laughed bitterly: "But after thinking about it, you shouldn't have agreed to it, so I won't say anymore."

"Are you talking about the Liu family's house?" The corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched. "The one with two hundred and fifty silver taels?"

Lu Jinfeng nodded, looking somewhat awkward.

Two hundred and fifty silver was a sky-high price to begin with, especially when compared to the price of Granny Sun and the Wu Lao San's house.

The house was just a place for people to rest. Spending two hundred and fifty silver to buy it wasn't worth it at all.

"Then let's go take a look." Chen Mu touched his forehead and said, "Anyway, I don't have any other choice."

Madam Lee and Aunt Wang had agreed that she would see what kind of method was this, to actually dare to ask for two hundred and fifty taels of silver.

A complicated look surfaced in Lu Jinfeng's eyes. "Chen Mu Mu is only a place to stay, there's no need to buy such an expensive one."

"Who said I wanted to buy it with two hundred and fifty taels of silver?" Chen Mu scoffed, "To me, Chen Mu, there is no such thing as purchase price." Not to mention it is not worth two hundred and fifty silver, even if it is, don't even think of asking me to pay two hundred and fifty silver. "

The price offered by a seller was usually not the bottom line and would allow the buyer the opportunity to bargain. If the buyer really wanted to buy at the price offered by the seller, that was unless the buyer was a fool.

Although Lu Jinfeng was intelligent, he did not know a thing about business, hearing her say that, he understood, the two of them became more confident, and walked towards the Liu family.

The Liu family was the first class wealthy family in Xingyu Village. Even though their whole family had moved to the village, the villagers still did not dare to look down on them.

The Liu Family's people were all in the town, and there was only an old butler guarding the door. When he heard that Chen Mu Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng wanted to look at the house, his gaze swept across them a few times, and then unhesitatingly opened the gate's fence.

As he muttered, he said, "My master has said that this house must sell for two hundred and fifty silver taels. If you don't have that money, don't look around."

"Since I dared to look, I will naturally be able to take out this money." Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at him with disdain, "You old fellow, why don't you take a look at this place? How many people can afford to pay such a high price for their houses in the countryside? It's rare for someone to visit a house. You don't feel happy greeting them, and even want to drive them away with a murmur. Aren't you afraid that if your master finds out, he'll tear you into pieces? "

"A girl like you only knows how to speak wisely and speak alarmingly." The old butler was not afraid of her and rolled his eyes at her, "I am just an old man, how can I be afraid of being chopped into pieces? If you really want to buy it, then take a look around yourself. "

Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng were not polite and started strolling in the Liu family courtyard.

The Liu family was a wealthy family in the village. When wealthy families built houses, they usually paid a lot of attention to it. The house was very big. The front and back hall were clearly divided, and it took up a total of three hundred square meters. It was connected to the north and south side of the house, and there were a few courtyards in the garden that were extremely pleasing to the eyes. Needless to say, the light was very bright and refreshing.

If one were to talk about houses alone, the Liu Clan's house would be considered the best. Even someone as picky as Chen Mu Mu was satisfied.

However, two hundred and fifty silver taels were out of the question for such a house.

"Finished all of them?" The old butler was waiting for them at the door and asked, "How do you feel? Do you want to buy it?"

"It looks like you're going to buy it, but unfortunately, you don't have the heart to sell it." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.

The old housekeeper's expression changed, and his beard became spirited. "Little girl, what do you mean by that?"

"It's very simple. I am not satisfied with the price." Chen Mu Mu shrugged and expressed his dissatisfaction. "This house isn't worth two hundred and fifty silver taels even if it's in the town. Moreover, I've been living here for such a long time."

"This is a new house. Master has only built it for three years." The old butler defended his master.

"However, it cannot be denied that it is old and has been lived in by others … "Is that right?" Chen Mu smiled as he looked at him, "New ones, can they be sold for the same price as old ones?"
