After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Matchmaker He went to the Zhao family early the next morning. Although she knew that the two families had reached a consensus, she still had to go through the motions.

Ye Laosan and his wife were very nervous while staying in the inn, worried that something unexpected might happen.

Ye Lao Er saw that the two men were fidgeting and pulled them to see the house.

Matchmaker He shouldn't be back so soon, the sooner they go the sooner they will come back.

Yesterday, Ye Laoer and his wife had already picked out two houses. They both chose houses with good surroundings and close to the academy.

Ye Laosan and Wei went to see the first house first. They arrived a little early and listened to the introduction of the middleman.

Wei was very satisfied. This house was really nice, with three main rooms facing north and south.

There is a wing on the east and west sides of the yard, each with three rooms. The original owner took good care of the house, and the house looks very new.

Shen took a look at the house yesterday and told her about her renovation ideas today. Wei was even more satisfied with the house.

"How much is this house, Lao Zhang?" Ye Laosan took one look at his wife and knew that she was very satisfied.

The middleman, Lao Zhang, had a big smile on his face. If the deal was successful, he would get a lot of commission.

"This yard is well maintained. You can buy it without major renovations. This yard is two hundred and sixty taels."

Wei and Shen looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

This courtyard is not big and can be bought for one hundred taels of silver in Wuan City.

Ye Laosan was prepared, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. Fortunately, he brought all the money from home.

"We bought this house as a new home, and we need to completely renovate it. Can you give us a cheaper price?" Ye Laosan is a businessman and is very good at negotiating prices.

The middleman looked embarrassed and said, "The owner of this house is not in a hurry to sell it, so the price is fixed. It can't be much cheaper.

Ye Laosan expressed his understanding, but they came from Wu'an City and did not have so much money. They liked this yard very much and asked if they could pay less.

The two sides were bargaining animatedly. Ye Laosan really wanted to buy it and was willing to negotiate the price.

Wei and Shen had nothing to do, so they went out for a walk.

The two walked a few steps and saw that the neighbor's door was open and a beautiful girl was standing at the door.

Wei went over to inquire about the house, but before she got there, the girl didn't even look at her and slammed the door.

Wei was a little confused, and Shen came over to comfort her.

"Maybe they saw we were strangers and didn't dare to talk to us."

The Weis thought it made sense, and they also told their children at home not to talk to strangers.

The two turned around and planned to go back, but they were unfamiliar with the place and got lost again.

When the two turned around to leave, they saw an older woman in a blue flowered dress sitting across from them, who spat at them.

Wei had a hot temper. Her family was a butcher and she had never endured such insults.

He immediately pulled Shen over to argue, "We haven't offended you, why are you spitting on us?"

The woman was also startled and explained hurriedly.

"I'm not talking to you, I just don't like that store." He pointed his chin at the store that had just closed.

Wei thought that there was a conflict between the two families, and the house they had their eyes on was right next door to that family.

Wei's anger disappeared and his attitude softened.

"It's all a misunderstanding. I thought we had accidentally done something wrong." Wei thought that since the two children would live together in the future, she should build a good network of neighborhood relationships.

After hearing what she said, the woman understood that what she had just done was indeed inappropriate.

"You look unfamiliar. Which family are you relatives of?" The woman looked them up and down and thought they didn't look like bad people.

"We are here to look at houses." Wei pointed to the one they were looking at.

The woman nodded in understanding, "Then you should think carefully before buying."

Wei didn't hear it, but Shen felt something was wrong.

"Sister-in-law, we just arrived in the city. We may not be able to buy a house for our two children even if we spend all our family savings." Shen complained first, worried that someone would become concerned about the two children in the future.

"You can call me Sister Yang, why are there only children living here and you guys not coming over?"

"The child is studying in the provincial capital, and we are busy at home." Shen did not reveal more information.

When Mrs. Yang heard the scholar's expression, she said, "Then you should think about it carefully."

Wei also heard something wrong and took out two copper coins from his sleeve and handed them over.

"Mrs. Yang, it's not easy for us farmers to buy a house. Please tell us about it."

Mrs. Yang didn't expect such a good thing to happen. No wonder she heard the magpie calling so early in the morning.

Mrs. Yang touched the two copper coins with her hand and quickly put them into her sleeve. Her speed showed that she was worried that they would regret it.

Mrs. Yang looked around and saw that there was no one in the alley, so she leaned over and whispered something in the two men's ears.

Wei and Shen's eyes were as big as bells in shock. The two cents were not wasted.

"Thank you, Madam Yang. We'll leave first. We'll think about this house later."

Mrs. Yang looked at the two men's backs, closed the door, and went back to the house humming a tuneless tune.

The two men entered the yard. Ye Lao San and Ye Lao Er were still negotiating the price with the middleman, but it seemed that they didn't agree on much.

"Master, let's take a look at another house." Wei interrupted them.

Ye Laosan turned his head to look at Wei, then turned back.

"Lao Zhang, let's go check out another one and compare them."

I thought they thought the price was too high and wanted to go look at another one.

The middleman opened his mouth and wanted to talk to Ye Lao San again. It had been a long time since he met someone who was so good at bargaining, and he felt a little unsatisfied.

Lao Zhang quickly responded, "Okay, that place isn't far away, let's go and have a look, but it's not as new as this one."

Ye Laosan didn't care. They would renovate both the old and new ones.

Ye Laosan slowed down by two steps and watched Ye Laoer walking in front with the middle man.

"There's something wrong with this yard." Ye Lao San asked in a low voice.

Wei nodded without saying anything more.

Ye Laosan understood that this yard had quite a few problems and definitely could not be chosen.

After Ye Laosan figured it out, he took two quick steps and continued to ask the middleman about the nearby courtyards.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the yard.

The few people did not enter the house, but walked around the yard first. This yard was the first yard at the entrance of the alley.

Wei noticed with sharp eyes that the Bailu Academy was not far away. Before she even went in, she felt that this house was suitable.

It’s so close to the academy, so I can sleep a little longer in the morning.

Ye Laosan also discovered it and followed the middleman into the yard.

After entering, I looked at the muddy ground in the yard and felt a little uncomfortable, because their yards were paved with stone slabs.

Looking at the house again, it has the same layout as the yard just now, but the house is very old and there are signs of water leakage in the house.

Ye Laosan frowned. It would cost a lot of money to completely renovate this yard.
