At the same time that they were discussing about the fish-round s, another good thing had come.
The old butler of the Liu Family stood at the door of Aunt Wang and hesitated for a long time before mustering the courage to knock.
Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng were sunning the herbs in the courtyard. When they saw him, they revealed a weird smile on their lips: "Old butler, didn't you want us to scram? Why did you scram here?"
"We're all from the same village, I'm already shy enough to come over. Girl, don't laugh at me." The old butler's face turned green and red. Finally, he gritted his teeth and threw caution to the wind, "Do you still want to buy a house?"
"I was going to build it myself. Since you've come over, I naturally want to buy it. After all, the ready-made houses are much easier to build than my own." Chen Mu Mu smiled as he looked at the old butler's embarrassed expression, "I guess it wasn't that you suddenly changed your mind, but it was your old master who agreed to sell it."
"Stop being sarcastic." The old butler raised his beard and took a deep breath. "Master said that if you really want to buy it, I can give you one hundred silver."
If it wasn't for that prodigal son of Young Master who had gambled all his wealth, the old master wouldn't have sold the old mansion with a dark expression.
"Then go out and turn right. Find someone else." What kind of person was Chen Mu Mu Mu? When she saw the expression of the old steward, she knew that the Liu family was in urgent need of money, so she wasn't in a hurry to buy and sell the item.
The Liu family was in a hurry to sell their house, so they definitely had to look for a lot of sellers these few days. However, all the people in the town had money and were willing to buy a house in the city, so who would go to the countryside to buy a house? Even if they had some spare money, they would not think of buying someone else's house. Furthermore, with the Liu family's house offering such a high price, it would be rare for them to buy a house that the villagers would care so much about.
After a while, he had no other choice but to find her.
Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't have the interest to be the lifesaver of others. She was in the business world, and the most important thing in business was her own interests. It wasn't wrong for her to set her eyes on the Liu Clan's house, but she shouldn't even think about putting more money in it.
"Lady Chen!" The old butler ground his teeth, "If it wasn't for the fact that the old master is in urgent need of selling the house, I would be willing to talk to you."
"But you did stand in front of me." Chen Mu Mu Mu remained as calm as ever, "In the business world, since you've come here, you should know what to do. If I said I wanted to buy it, I would only pay fifty silver taels."
"Fifty silver taels! My old master has to deposit the money in as well!" The old steward snorted, "That house should at least be at least a hundred and fifty silver taels. Giving you a hundred silver taels is already a last resort, do you still want to advance so much?"
"If you are willing to sell it, then we are willing to buy it." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's words did not affect him in the slightest, "Fifty taels of silver. If I want to buy it, I can only do so."
"50 taels of silver is really too little." "Miss Chen, you're deliberately trying to cheat us." The old housekeeper wailed, his old face scrunched up.
"If you feel like it's a trap, you can go find someone else." Chen Mu Mu Mu was calm and composed, "Anyways, we don't lack a place to stay. Your old master really needs to sell his house, so he wouldn't make a fuss about it."
"You …" The old housekeeper saw that she wasn't going to make it, so he let out a few heavy breaths, "Fine, I'll go a little lower. Give us a price that we can all accept. Eighty taels, let's each take a step back."
"Fifty silver."
"Seventy-five taels."
"Fifty silver."
"70 taels, I can't lose any less!"
"Fifty silver."
"Lady Chen, you are forcing me to die."
"Fifty silver."
"... "Since you've won, then fifty silver." The old steward's eyes lost their luster and he looked dispirited, "This old man has never seen anyone who could bargain better than you in so many years."
"I also want the tables and chairs and other furniture from the Liu family. You said earlier that you would give them to the buyer." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
"You … It's already worth fifty silver taels, can you at least show some face? " The old steward's face twitched.
"His face is right here, why wouldn't he want it?" Chen Mu Mu Mu vaunted herself for being thick-skinned. She didn't seem to be ashamed even when being mocked by the old butler. With a calm expression, she said, "Let's not talk about anything else. If you agree, then this deal will be completed."
"I can't give away the table, chairs, etc. Master will tear me apart." The old steward panted heavily, "Of course, if you add 10 taels of silver, I can give it to you. After all, the Liu Clan spent a lot of money when they bought the chairs and tables."
"It's just some old stuff. How much can it be worth?" Chen Mu Mu sneered, "Even if you push me to the limit, it would only be two to three taels of silver. How dare you ask so much?"
The old steward: "…" Who the hell is asking for an exorbitant price?
"50 taels of silver for the furniture. Are you willing?" Noticing the other party was in a daze, Chen Mu asked.
"Impossible, 50 silver is already my bottom line. I can't give you anything from home." The old butler was determined: "If you can't accept this, we will look for other guests." When he saw the faint smile on Chen Mu Mu's lips, the old butler's chest couldn't release a breath of air. As if his thoughts had been seen through, he flew into a rage from embarrassment, "Even if I can't sell it, I won't sell it to you cheaply!"
"I can give cash." Chen Mu Mu Mu took out 50 taels of silver in banknotes and waved it in front of him, "Hand over the land deed, give up the money."
"... "Deal." The old steward looked at the fluttering banknotes and felt that he had become much shorter.
For the sake of the Young Master, for the sake of the Liu Clan, he really … He was helpless.
He had been busy for a few days and had not paid attention to the Liu family. Who would have thought that he would become involved in the business of the house?
Coming out from the Liu Clan, Chen Mu was still in a state of disbelief as he held the land deed for the residence.
Lu Jinfeng was even more surprised: "I never thought that even fifty taels of silver would be sold, the Liu family is truly depressing."
The difference of two hundred silver taels, every time he thought about it, it would cause his heart to clench into a knot.
The Madam Lee wanted to buy it for two hundred and fifty silver. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu had wanted to buy it for only fifty silver to give away the furniture.
"This is just a matter of time. If it wasn't for the fact that they had nowhere else to go, the Liu family wouldn't have sold their house so cheaply." Chen Mu Mu Mu still had a bit of confidence in herself. "In short, we're the ones taking advantage, so don't feel awkward. Compared to us, I'm afraid the Liu family is more helpless."
"Against you, I have no choice." Lu Jinfeng said.
"You might as well say, meeting me was the bad luck of the Liu Clan."
"I didn't say that." Lu Jinfeng hurriedly tried to explain.
"But you think so." Chen Mu scoffed.
"I didn't." Lu Jinfeng firmly refused to admit it.
"Yes."
"Nope."
"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you." Chen Mu Mu smiled as he waved the land deed in his hand. "You already have your own house. Let's move out."
As he spoke, he sighed and sighed, "But why do I feel like fifty silver taels for a house is a bit too expensive?"
Lu Jinfeng: "..."
After receiving the room deed, they picked a good day when Lu Jinfeng and Madam Lee could finally move out from Aunt Wang's house. As the Liu Family didn't really care about the table and chairs, after Lu Jinfeng and Madam Lee moved in, they didn't need to buy anything new.
After all, he had lived here for a few days, so the Aunt Wang was still a little reluctant. However, people have their own homes, so it was common sense for him to live here once he returned. He did not ask them to stay, and only said: "This is also your house, if you have free time, you should come visit often."
"Aunt, you still want to be our fish-round? The two families often interact with each other and will not be separated by marriage." Seeing that the Madam Lee and the Aunt Wang were irreconcilable, Chen Mu joked.
"That's true." Thinking about this, Aunt Wang relaxed a lot.
Because the house was destroyed, Lu Jinfeng, Chen Mu Mu and Madam Lee did not bring anything when they moved into Aunt Wang's house. Now that they moved out, they only needed to bring two sets of clothes and they could leave.
Aunt Wang eagerly sent them to their new home. She heard that Qiao Qian's new house was the Liu Family's old house, and right now, the entrance was filled with villagers who wanted to watch the fun.
It was a good thing that Qiao lived in a new place. He wanted to seek good fortune so that all the guests would be guests.
Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng had already bought the ingredients long ago, the few women and Madam Lee went into the kitchen, busying themselves to prepare a few tables of good food.
The village chief brought the Forest Demoness over and sat in the courtyard for a while before praising: "Xiao Feng is really capable to have such a good wife. After not seeing her for a while, this whole family has changed."
Lu Jinfeng looked somewhat awkwardly at Chen Mu Mu Mu. Chen Mu Mu Mu's mouth twitched as he explained, "Village Chief, I'm not his wife. We've never paid respects before, and we're not husband and wife."
"But since you're married, and you've all lived together, can't you still be considered husband and wife?" The Village Head had a strange expression on his face.
"I adopted Li Liu'er as my mother, and now Lu Jinfeng is my sworn brother." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
"What's the difference between a foster brother and a blood-related elder brother?" The Village Chief found it funny. "You two have such a romantic relationship. Don't talk about those useless people, just go and marry them."
As soon as the Village Chief finished speaking, the surrounding villagers started to chime in.
"That's right, sister from the Chen family, I see that you and Xiao Feng are quite suitable, since they are already here, why don't we become husband and wife?"
"Look at you two, a man and a woman is a match made in heaven. Why do you need to be siblings? It's best to be husband and wife."
"Yes, yes, yes. Lady Chen, look at the handsome and handsome Xiao Feng, you can't find such a good talent with just ten miles and eight items. You are not the least bit interested."
Chen Mu couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth when she heard the surrounding sounds of agreement. These villagers really only desired the world to be free from chaos. How could they speak such nonsense?
This was especially true for the village chief. He had taken the lead in making fun of her. In the future, her reputation would not be in vain.
"Village Chief, I'm still young, I still need to marry someone in the future." "Lu Jinfeng and I are not suitable, we have long planned for an agreement to never have anything to do with marriage, if you continue talking nonsense, Xiao Feng will blame you for not getting a wife in the future."
Lu Jinfeng's eyes darkened, his long eyelashes drooping, he covered his complicated thoughts.
The village chief was such a clever man. Seeing Lu Jinfeng's tightly clenched fists and his white lips and the agreement in Chen Mu Mu Mu's hands, he sighed and said, "What a pity."
The crowd didn't know what he meant by 'such a pity', but they could tell that the atmosphere had become sluggish for a moment. They couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"What a pity. A lover will eventually become a brother and sister."
"What a great marriage, it's all luck."
