Chapter 945 has a condition

Lu Sanzhu felt that Shu Yu's gaze just now indicated affirmation, and he became even more excited.

"This land of yours can't be considered top-grade, can it? Eight taels per acre would be more than enough." Although he hadn't gone to inspect it carefully earlier, when it comes to bargaining, one should naturally try to find reasons to justify the price.

"And your estate, it does look quite new and well-built, but three or four mu of land isn't very big, is it? In our village, which house with a yard doesn't have three or four mu of land?"

Shu Yu, “…” Third Uncle, that’s an exaggeration.

Lu Sanzhu got more and more carried away as he talked, "Of course, the main problem is that your house is located in the middle of nowhere. Even the best houses in the county town only cost a few hundred taels. You can't just take advantage of us because we're not worldly-wise and set a random price."

Seeing him speak so eloquently, and even winking at her after he finished, Shu Yu couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, she held back and nodded slightly with a composed expression. "Young Master Jiang, what my third uncle said is exactly what I mean. Eighteen hundred taels is indeed too high."

Young Master Jiang frowned deeply. In fact, Lu Sanzhu was right. The soil quality of this land was not good, and eight taels of silver per mu was already the highest price.

But he had spent several years of effort on this place, and the crops he grew were losing money, so he wanted to make up for those losses.

Otherwise, I would feel resentful if I had wasted four or five years of my life.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "How much are you willing to pay?" He paused, then added, "Actually, if I sell this estate to you, I'll give you the furniture inside as well. There are also some good materials here, so you won't lose out."

Lu Sanzhu felt a slight excitement and immediately wanted to speak.

Shu Yu had already extended her hand, "Fourteen hundred taels, that's all I can offer."

Lu Sanzhu silently shut his mouth. This was a cut of four hundred taels; the other party definitely wouldn't agree to it.

Sure enough, Young Master Jiang shook his head. "Too little." So, by this calculation, his estate is only worth six hundred taels?

Shu Yu sighed, "I'm sorry, Young Master Jiang, I don't have much money on hand. This is the most I can offer. If you really can't accept it, then we'll have to look elsewhere. I like this estate, but it seems it's not meant for me now."

She cupped her hands in a respectful gesture to Young Master Jiang, saying, "Excuse me, farewell."

After saying that, she turned and left with the others.

Lu Sanzhu was an impatient man. Just as they were about to walk out the door, he couldn't help but whisper, "Ayu, are we really leaving? Actually, if you don't have enough money, these two hundred taels..."

Da Niu quickly said, "Third Uncle, let's listen to A Yu."

Lu Sanzhu rolled her eyes at him.

Just as the group reached the door, Young Master Jiang's voice finally came from behind, "Miss Lu, please wait a moment."

Shu Yu and Da Niu exchanged a smile, while Lu Sanzhu curled his lip. Sure enough, this young-looking Jiang Gongzi was no match for A Yu at all.

Shu Yu turned back around. "Does Young Master Jiang have anything else?"

Young Master Jiang gritted his teeth, "The price is still negotiable."

Shu Yu sighed, "I am indeed short of money; 1,400 taels is the maximum I can afford."

Young Master Jiang remained silent for a long time before finally taking a deep breath, closing his eyes, and saying, "Fourteen thousand it is, but I have one condition."

Conditions? If you're going to bargain, why would there be conditions?

"Tell me first. If you can't do it, there's nothing I can do."
