A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises
Chapter 237 Buying Field
Landlord Ma has a lot of land and more than one set of farm tools. Although those things are not extremely expensive, he still has to go to the county town to buy them.
Now that Landlord Ma is willing to give up the land and it can save the Tian family a few taels of silver, Tian Danian is naturally happy.
But four hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver is too much.
For an ordinary family, this amount of money would be enough for them to live on for a lifetime.
"Godfather, what's the situation with the land now? Why don't we not buy it and wait until the harvest is better? It's too expensive!"
The one who spoke was Hanhan. Before coming, Tian Danian had assigned tasks to his two sons.
Hanhan was responsible for smoothing things over, Shitou was responsible for bargaining, and Tian Danian acted as the good guy. The three father and sons each performed their duties and negotiated as much silver as they could. After all, no one's silver came from the wind, so they would save as much as they could.
In previous years, these few taels of silver would have been a family's annual expenses.
Shitou's face was stern. "Silly, don't talk nonsense. Dad is always there for you. Dad is not stupid. How can you really suffer a loss? In this era, the land is not valuable and cannot be sold at a high price. Dad has his own ideas. If it is too expensive, he will definitely not buy it."
Hanhan nodded, "That's good. If it doesn't work, let's go back earlier. Mom made braised pork at home, and I'm anxious to go back and eat it!"
Tian Xiaoman didn't say anything, she lowered her head, she was trying to hold back her laughter.
At this moment, she was biting her cheek hard, for fear that she would laugh.
She didn't expect that Hanhan's acting was so good, so natural, smooth and real.
high! Really high!
Landlord Ma was a little anxious. Isn't this black boy too direct?
If you think the price is high, you can negotiate.
Although I have just stated a fixed price and will not negotiate, are you trying to ruin the deal by doing this?
That was impossible! Landlord Ma had finally found someone who could buy all of his 107 acres of land at once, and he was determined to catch them and not let them get away.
"Brother Tian, this, this!" Landlord Ma was panicked.
Tian Danian took advantage of the landlord Ma's urgent desire to sell the entire piece of land, and now it seems that the fish has taken the bait.
"Master Ma, it's inevitable that children speak a little harshly! But what this kid said does make some sense, don't you think?"
Landlord Ma smiled awkwardly and nodded. He said cruelly, "Since we have known each other for many years, I will lower the price for you. Four hundred and twenty-five taels, what do you think?"
Tian Danian didn't say anything. He pretended to be thinking, tapping the table with his fingers.
With every tap of his fingers, Landlord Ma's heart began to beat faster and he felt more nervous.
Before Tian Danian could say anything, Hanhan spoke again.
"Brother Shitou, how much cheaper is 425 taels than 428 taels? Is it a lot?"
As Hanhan spoke, Landlord Ma's heart began to rise, and he felt a little frightened.
This silly boy, how dare he say anything, can't he see the difference between good and bad? What kind of occasion is this? I'm afraid he wants to ruin this deal.
This time, even Tian Danian was biting his cheek.
He didn't expect that Hanhan, this kid, would really help when something happened and would be really helpful at the critical moment!
Shitou suppressed his smile and said with a straight face, "Even if you don't understand this amount, didn't I teach you before? Compared with 428 taels, 425 taels is 3 taels cheaper."
"What? Only three taels of silver?"
Hanhan was shocked and turned to look at Landlord Ma, "Landlord Ma! Three taels of silver is worth a bargain? Last time, my godfather and I went to buy furniture, it was only more than fifty taels, and they rounded off the price! This won't work, the bargain is too little. I'm telling you, don't be petty. People who accomplish great things don't care about small things. What's that? -"
"Don't be too picky!" Shitou added quickly.
"Right, right, right! Brother Shitou is right. People who achieve great things don't care about small things. You should give us a cheaper price. There will be no such shop after our village. If no one comes again after my godfather, your land will be in vain. By then, let alone more than 400 taels, you will have to sell it for more than 200 taels."
Landlord Ma was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
What nonsense is this kid saying?
Is this a curse that all his fields will be destroyed in his own hands?
However, what this kid said makes sense.
This is probably the only chance to sell all this large piece of land at once.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he had to endure the nonsense that the silly kid said.
"Master Ma, don't mind it. My brother is honest and straightforward. He speaks like this, so it is inevitable that he will offend people——"
Now it was Shitou's turn. He cleared his throat and continued, "However, Master Ma, you are a great man who doesn't care about the mistakes of small people, but you definitely can't hold it against Hanhan."
Landlord Ma: What did I say? Why do you sometimes slander me and sometimes flatter me? It seems that you have said all the good and bad things, and I have to keep all the dirty and smelly things.
Well, you are right. I just want to sell this piece of land as soon as possible. Now I have to endure the verbal grievances you have said.
Tian Danian felt relieved that his child had grown up and would be able to stand on his own even without him.
Look at the two sons, aren’t they singing the same tune now?
It seems that today's matter is possible!
In the end, the Tian family reached a deal with the landlord Ma for four hundred taels of silver.
Without further ado, taking advantage of the fact that there was still plenty of time left today, Landlord Ma, Tian Danian and others went to the county government office to sign the land deed.
As soon as the land deed was signed, Tian Danian paid the money directly, and both the Ma and Tian families were happy.
On the way back, Tian Danian was very happy. "Today's work was done, and we saved more than twenty taels of silver. Hanhan and Shitou, you two are great contributors. Doesn't Hanhan like to eat braised pork? I'll ask your godmother to make you a big plate of it later, and you can eat as much as you want."
"Godfather, Godmother really said that she would make me braised pork tonight, so I was anxious. Godmother's braised pork is delicious, not greasy at all, and sweet. It is better than the dishes in the restaurant. With white rice, I can eat six bowls in one meal."
Shi Tou: Oh my god, it turns out I misunderstood just now. I thought he was acting, but it turns out it was real. You really wanted to go home early to eat the braised pork made by your mother.
The news that the Tian family bought the land spread that afternoon, and within just one day, everyone in the surrounding villages knew about it.
At that time, in that season of the year, more people were selling land than buying land. However, the Tian family actually bought land, and they bought more than 100 acres of land at one time. This was a big deal.
Now, the gossip that the women in Tianjia Village talk about when they get together is about this. The first thing they say when they meet is, "Hey, have you heard? The Tian Danian family in Tianjia Village bought more than 100 acres of land at one time."
Of course, some people who heard it were happy while others were sad.
Those who are happy are naturally those who are on good terms with the Tian family; those who are worried are naturally those who have ulterior motives.
"Dad, we have to put the plan on the agenda. The Tian family bought so many fields, I'm afraid they earned more than a thousand taels of silver last year."
Food is so expensive nowadays, but people still have spare money to buy land that will obviously produce a poor harvest. What does this mean?
——It means that the family is well-off.
"You're right. We should hurry up. Go to the county and buy Xiangzhi some nice clothes. I don't believe that the boy from the Tian family will not be attracted to our daughter."
