Chapter 216: Not even a single point can be lost

After returning home, Ran He turned around and asked Yan Er: "Do you know who owns the land in the back mountain?"

Yan Er answered without hesitation: "Of course it is the Wu family's property."

"You also know about this?"

Ran He was slightly surprised.

“I was in charge of the purchase of the land.”

Yan Er recalled.

Ran He nodded in understanding, and then ordered: "Go to the town tomorrow to order a batch of high-quality bricks and tiles. Our plan is to build a two-story courtyard and add a private school."

"As you command, ma'am."

Yan Er retreated in response.

Although the brick and tile matters were handed over to their subordinates, the furniture style and house design still needed to be finalized by Wu Xu and Ran He themselves. Lin Yu also actively offered suggestions and put forward his own opinions and preferences from time to time.

The originally planned two-courtyard structure evolved into an exquisite small villa with pavilions and towers after repeated deliberation and discussion.

Ran He noticed the yearning in Lin Yu's eyes and said softly, "Xiao Yu, I will also build a small villa for you, which is just right for you and Niu Yong to live in after you get married. This will be my dowry for you."

"Sister Ran He..."

Lin Yu's cheeks suddenly turned red and she glared at her shyly. Her cute and naive look made people laugh.

"Still shy."

Ran He saw her shyness and stopped teasing her. Instead, he asked seriously, "What style do you like?"

"There should be a courtyard where you can plant flowers and grass. It would be best if you could build a grape trellis in the courtyard so you can enjoy the cool air and the fruits in the summer..."

Lin Yu described her dream home with great longing.

The three women spent the entire day in the study, fully engaged and happily discussing the blueprint for their future home.

It was not until the next day that they preliminarily finalized the design plan, and then began to carefully plan the furniture design.

Just as the three of them were immersed in a heated discussion, Nian Xia hurried into the study.

"Madam, several people from the Zhao family came to visit us."

These words brought the conversation between the three people to an abrupt end, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant.

"What do they want?"

Lin Yu was full of doubts.

Wu Xu was also puzzled. After a moment's silence, he said, "Maybe they heard that we were going to build a house ourselves and wanted to sell the land to us at a lower price."

Lin Yu curled his lips and said with a hint of disdain: "I wanted to take advantage earlier, but now it's too late to regret it."

"Why don't we go and take a look."

Ran He suggested, his attitude gentle but firm.

Outside the door, Mrs. Zhao and a strange woman had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them appear, they hurried forward to greet them.

The Zhao family's eldest lady smiled brightly and said, "Oh, you are the eldest sister of the Wu family. What a rare guest you are!"

"Aunt Zhao, what can I do for you?"

Wu Xu maintained his courtesy and asked in a gentle and polite manner.

Aunt Zhao's eyes flickered a few times, as if there were thousands of words stuck in her throat. In the end, she just coughed lightly and spoke vaguely: "Well... well, actually, I came to visit you today to talk about the old house. Last night, my family talked to them in detail, and they finally relented and were willing to lower the price a little and sell it to you. I wonder if you are still interested in considering it now?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Wu Xu's face, but it quickly turned into a gentle refusal: "Aunt Zhao, to be honest, we have already prepared all the bricks and tiles for building the house, and have ordered all the furniture. We have already spent all the money. I'm afraid it's unlikely that we can change our mind midway."

At this moment, the woman next to Aunt Zhao's face tensed up, her eyes full of anxiety, and her voice became sharp: "So, you don't want to buy it at all? You are deliberately playing tricks on us!"

Everyone in the crowd couldn't help but frown, feeling a little uncomfortable with this sudden dispute.

However, Wu Xu's face remained gentle, and his tone was calm but firm: "Auntie, you are wronging me. I really have been fond of that house for a long time, but your price is so unpredictable that it is really hard to figure out. One hundred taels of silver is really too much for us to bear."

The woman snorted disdainfully, her words full of contempt: "If you don't have money, don't come and ask about this or that. Do you think you have to buy it just by asking? There is no such thing in the world. You dare to ask for a hundred taels for a dilapidated old house. This is simply robbery! You go back on your word and blame us. We didn't pursue your fickleness, which is already quite magnanimous. Do you really think we are soft persimmons and can be manipulated at will? You pretend all day long, and it's disgusting just to look at you. Tomorrow, I will let the neighbors know your true colors."

Facing Lin Yu's strong counterattack, the woman was not to be outdone. She immediately retorted with a sharp voice: "Hey, in the end, it's because you don't have money. Why do you have to make so many excuses? I thought you were so rich, but it turns out you are just a poor guy who loves face. No wonder you have to hide in the countryside, it turns out that life in the city is unbearable. Since you are poor, don't cling to that little bit of vanity. You act arrogant all day long, which makes people feel annoyed. Tomorrow, I will let everyone see what kind of people you are."

Seeing her sister-in-law's words becoming more and more outrageous, Aunt Zhao finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Second brother's wife, please stop talking!"

The second son's wife was not willing to listen. She pointed her finger at the tip of Wu Xu's nose and threatened him. "I tell you, you can buy the house or not, but you must pay the one hundred taels of silver as compensation. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have missed the other buyer. Now that you regret not buying it, you must compensate us for the lost business opportunity, one hundred taels, not a cent less. Otherwise, this matter will not end!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu became even angrier: "What's the difference between this and robbery!"

Ran He, on the other hand, looked calm and composed, and said indifferently, "Send the guest away."

Nian Xia at the side responded, with a cold face and a flat tone: "You two, please."

The second son's wife refused to give in. She put her hands on her hips and said firmly, "It's not that easy to get me to leave. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not going anywhere."

A cold smile appeared on Ran He's lips: "Yan Er, send her out."

Yan Er received the order and without saying a word, he strode forward, effortlessly picked up the still shouting second brother's wife, and threw her out the door regardless of her struggles and shouts.

Outside the door, the second son's wife was still stubborn and yelled: "You outsiders, dare to bully me, let's wait and see!"

Aunt Zhao reluctantly dragged her away. Even from a distance, her dissatisfaction and complaints could still be heard faintly. Wu Xu looked worried: "What should I do? From the look of her face, it seems she won't give up."
