Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

Zhou Lingling still chose the small courtyard on the edge of the town.

She took a look and saw that the courtyard had three main rooms, with two side rooms on each side, which was more than enough to accommodate their family.

So Zhou Lingling demonstrated to her two brothers the essence of bargaining as a flower grower.

Zhou Lingling looked around the courtyard with a slightly critical look and asked, "How much does this courtyard cost?"

The broker smiled broadly and said, "Although this yard is a little off the beaten path, it's big enough. Miss, just give me seventy taels."

Zhou Lingling was surprised: "... Even if I bought this yard, I would still need to renovate it, and you're selling it for seventy taels?!"

"Look at this wall, this gate, this floor..."

"And this purlin, the paint has all fallen off..."

As she spoke, she frowned in disdain: "Will you sell it for thirty-five taels?"

The dealer: “…I can’t sell it.” This means he has met his match.

Thirty-five taels.

He has to pay for it with his pants.

Can’t sell?

Okay, okay, then let’s move on to the second method.

Zhou Lingling clapped her hands and prepared to leave. "Brother, I don't think this yard is suitable. Let's go to another dental clinic this afternoon to ask!"

Although this dental clinic is the largest, there is more than one in Yunlai Town.

Seeing this, the broker said quickly, "Miss, please stay, please stay. This yard is a bit old, but it is huge! Meeting is fate. Miss, would you like to add some more?"

Zhou Lingling hesitated for a few seconds before saying with some embarrassment, "You've been running with us all morning, and we can't just leave like this. How about this? I'll give you another ounce of silver."

Broker: “…” Is this your rule for raising the price?

At last,

As Zhou Chi and Zhou Yun looked on in admiration, Zhou Lingling and the broker agreed to buy the courtyard at the "high price" of forty-three taels of silver.

It just so happened that the pawnshop also had a pawnshop, so Zhou Lingling directly pawned a few pieces of gold jewelry. With the pawnbroker there, the money she got was not much less than what Manager Zhao paid at the pawnshop.

Accompanying the three siblings to the government office to sign the contract, the broker was in tears: "I have finally met a tough guy today. Miss, you are really..."

She was the most bargaining girl he had ever seen.

The last time I met someone this powerful, it was some old women who argued with him for a long time over ten cents.

Zhou Lingling smiled politely yet proudly: "That's all thanks to your generosity, uncle! You've worked hard today, so this is a small token of my appreciation. Take it with you for tea."

The broker looked at the silver in his hand, and his waist and legs no longer hurt, and he immediately smiled happily:

"Okay, okay, you're quite interesting, girl. If you need anything in the future, come and find me. My last name is Wu, and I live in Dongping Lane. I'll definitely give you the best price!"

Zhou Lingling narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Okay, Uncle Wu, I will definitely trouble you again in the future, so please don't refuse when the time comes..."

"Of course not!"

Uncle Wu patted his chest and promised.

The three siblings and Uncle Wu parted ways at an intersection not far from the yamen.

Zhou Chi suddenly hissed, then covered his arm and glared at his brother beside him:

"Zhou! Yun!"

Zhou Yun smiled foolishly: "Haha...it's not a dream..."

Zhou Chi narrowed his eyes dangerously and gritted his teeth, "Wait until we get back and see how I'll deal with you!"

Zhou Lingling: “…”

You are a silly child. If you want to know whether you are dreaming, pinch yourself, and then go to pinch your elder brother.

Tut tut...

It’s okay to do evil if God does it, but you can’t live if you do evil to yourself!

"Hey, look, sister, we have a house now!"

Zhou Yun held up the freshly issued title deed and approached Zhou Lingling, smiling like a fool.

The title deed is in Zhou Lingling's name.

This is what Zhou Chi insisted on.

Zhou Lingling originally planned to write her father's name, but was interrupted by her brother, who asked her to write Zhou Lingling instead. The clerk in the yamen was surprised and confirmed it with the two brothers again.

Zhou Chi said: "This money definitely doesn't belong to my parents. Since it belongs to my sister, it should be written in her name."

He didn't even ask Zhou Lingling where the jewelry she pawned came from.

In this family, Zhou Laoer was not the only one who discovered her secret...

*

this night,

After dinner, the family sat in the yard and chatted, and Zhou Lingling cleared her throat.

"Cough cough!"

"Everyone in our family is here, haha, I have something important to announce!"

Finally waiting for this moment, Zhou Yun was so excited that he jumped up from the stool.

God knows how hard it must have been for him to hold it in for such a long day!

Zhou Chi's eyes were also excited.

Old Mrs. Chen was the first to speak and ask, "My dear grandson, what important announcement do you have?"

"Yes, girl, what's the matter?"

Zhou Laoer sat there, fanning his wife and himself.

The weather in September should have cooled down in previous years, but it is still a bit hot this year.

Zhou Lingling looked around at everyone with a smug look in her eyes, then took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the stone table in the middle.

"Here, take a look for yourself!"

She stood there proudly with her arms folded, waiting for everyone's praise.

"Hahaha, Mom, it's a house!"

Zhou Yun finally couldn't help himself. He stretched out his hand and drew a big circle, "My sister bought a big yard for our family!"

what? !

Bought a big yard?

Chen and Zhou Laoer were completely confused.

Relying on her proximity and being the head of the household, Old Mrs. Chen was the first to take possession of the house deed.

Unfortunately...she can't read.

"Grandson, come and read to Grandma what's written on this..."

Old Mrs. Chen's hand trembled slightly as she held the house deed. She was illiterate, but she recognized the big red official seal.

So her daughter and grandson can stay in town?

Chen Jiaan carefully took the paper, glanced at the contents, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he read it to his grandmother.

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen. When Old Mrs. Chen heard that the title deed was written in the name of her beloved grandson, she nodded with satisfaction.

Uncle Chen was also very excited: "That's great, brother-in-law. From now on, your family can settle down in this town!"

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "This is indeed a great thing. That place is not far from our home, so it is more convenient to get around than before."

Chen Jiakang hugged Zhou Yun's shoulders and said, "That's great, Xiaoyun. You don't have to go back to the countryside anymore. Come and learn how to butcher pigs with my dad!"

This way he doesn't have to learn.

Zhou Yun nodded: "Okay, okay, I will definitely come every day!"

Zhou Lingling: “…”

No matter what, the Chen family is sincerely happy for them.

As for how Zhou Lingling bought the yard and where she got the money to buy it, the Chen family didn't ask a single question.

Chen tightly grasped her husband's arm and looked at her daughter with pity:

"Daughter, why did you buy the yard without saying anything?"

When her daughter said she wanted to buy a yard, she had calculated that the total amount of money they had saved and earned in recent days was only fifteen taels.

Adding the ten taels of silver my daughter gave me that day, I only had twenty-five taels left. The cheapest house in town would cost thirty or forty taels...

She was planning to shamelessly stay at her parents' house for a while. Her and her sister-in-law's braised food stall was always in short supply, and by the New Year she would have saved enough money to buy a small courtyard and move out.

I didn’t expect my daughter to give them a big surprise so soon...

Hey!

My daughter cares too much about her family. She needs to teach her a lesson. She can't touch those things anymore. She has to keep them for her dowry.
