Chapter 1015 Robbing a House

Liang chuckled dryly and shook her head. "He doesn't know."

The old lady immediately objected, "Fine, you borrow so much money, and you two didn't even discuss it beforehand. If you argue later, will you blame Ayu for having too much money?"

She was about to wave her hand, wanting to drive Liang away.

Madam Liang understood the old lady; she could tell what she was going to say just by looking at her expression, so she quickly explained before the old lady could speak.

"Mom, this is not my fault. I originally wanted to talk to the child's father, but the situation was urgent."

"What's the emergency? Is someone trying to take your house away from you?"

To everyone's surprise, Mrs. Liang nodded vigorously and explained to Shu Yu, "My husband and I originally found a small courtyard house in our alley. The house wasn't big, but it had four or five rooms, which was enough for our family of four. But the price they asked for was high, so we thought we'd wait and see if we could negotiate a lower price. Who knew..."

To everyone's surprise, not only did the other party not try to lower the price, but the house was sold this morning.

Liang was filled with remorse, so she went to the original landlord to try and negotiate, saying she would add two taels of silver to resell the house to her.

The former landlord was so angry he laughed. Two taels of silver? How could she even say that?

But Liang's unreasonable and irrational ways were incredibly annoying. Fortunately, the middleman who facilitated the transaction was also present. Wasn't Liang his client who wanted to buy a house? He immediately told her that he had another house that was even better than this one, but it was a bit more expensive, and asked Liang if she wanted it.

When Liang heard that the price was higher, she hesitated.

The middleman suggested taking her to see the place first, and once she saw it, Madam Liang didn't want to leave.

It was indeed very expensive, so she said she needed to think about it. The middleman, however, was quite shrewd and immediately said that the house was in high demand and that if she didn't buy it soon, someone else would take it.

Liang did see several families come to look at the house, and she was worried that it would be snatched up by someone else, just like the previous small courtyard.

She asked the middleman to wait for her, as she needed to discuss it with the men in her family.

Buying a house is a big decision, and it certainly can't be decided by her alone. People around her understand this and just urge her to do it as soon as possible.

At this point, Madam Liang's face fell again. "I went to the peach grove to find the child's father, but who knew he was out of town with Master Ji on business today and wouldn't be back until tonight."

Even if they come back, they will still have less money.

After much deliberation, Liang decided to go find Shuyu.

He wanted to borrow money, and also to get some advice from her. If Ayu agreed, Lu Sanzhu definitely wouldn't object.

For this reason, she even spent two coins to take a donkey cart to Ningshui Street.

After listening, the old lady frowned slightly. "Is that house really that nice?"

“Mother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I heard from the middleman that the landlord is in urgent need of money, otherwise the price would be even higher. Now it's only two hundred and eighty taels, which is already the lowest price.”

Lan Hua, standing nearby, gasped in shock. Two hundred and eighty taels was too low?

Lan Hua had never seen so much silver in her life; it was terrifying.

Liang looked anxiously at Shu Yu. She had heard from her husband that Shu Yu was very supportive of buying a house because she felt that the house prices in Jiangyuan County would definitely rise soon.

Sure enough, Shu Yu nodded after a moment of silence, "Okay, then I'll go with Third Aunt to take a look."
