Chapter 73 Big Deal!

Jiang Lianzhu was puzzled. "The fields are good and the price is not high, so why is no one buying them?"

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said with embarrassment, "It's been hanging in the government office recently, and some people want to buy it, but they are still a little afraid of Master Qian. Although Master Qian has fallen on hard times, there's no guarantee he'll make a comeback one day. If we buy his land, we're afraid he'll take revenge later, so we're stuck here."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't believe it. "Is it that Mr. Qian secretly spread the word that people are afraid to buy?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Madam Jiang, you are a very insightful person. In my opinion, it's no wonder that you have become rich. You are smart in doing things. Even local tyrants like Mr. Qian, the Ji family, have fallen into your hands. You are really smart. It was Mr. Qian who secretly threatened people, saying that whoever dared to buy his land would be in trouble. Several buyers came to see it before, and they all had ideas, but in the end they failed because they were afraid. But you are different. You reported Mr. Qian to the government before, and you have a grudge against him anyway. Mr. Qian couldn't do anything to you before, and he won't do anything to you now. What do you think? Consider it?"

Very enthusiastic.

They are the only brokerage firm in town, and thanks to the government's trust, they have undertaken this auction. If no one buys, their firm will lose face and fail to live up to the government's trust, which is not a good thing.

Therefore, he tried his best to promote it to Jiang Lianzhu.

After thinking about it, it really suits Jiang Lianzhu. Apart from her, those who are brave have no money, and those who are rich are not brave enough.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't say yes or no on the surface, but in fact she was very dissatisfied with Mr. Qian.

This is too much. He is still so arrogant even though he has lost his power.

"Get a map and see where the land and hills are located. What's the price? How many acres are there in total?"

"Great!" The owner of the pawnshop was delighted, there was hope.

I went to get a map and asked someone to bring some cakes, melon seeds and other things to treat the three cubs.

Dabao doesn't talk much and acts like a little adult. When Jiang Lianzhu and the others talk, he listens quietly and learns.

Erbao takes his sister to eat, drink and have fun.

Jiang Lianzhu usually took them with her wherever she went. Firstly, she didn't need to avoid them; she had no secrets, and bringing them along would allow her to cultivate a bond. Secondly, she had offended many people in Shili Town, some known to her and others unknown to her. Bringing the cubs with her, keeping an eye on them, would be safer.

The children are sensible and easy to take care of. They only need to report to her about eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and do not need her help. They are not like modern children who are spoiled. They cannot go to the toilet by themselves when they go to kindergarten at a few years old and need to be fed.

The little girl is a little younger and has less ability to take care of herself, but with two older brothers around, that’s no problem for her.

Erbao dotes on his younger sister especially, and always puts his younger sister first and his older brother as the elder in everything.

Dabao seems to be introverted, but he is also very caring towards his younger siblings.

If I have the energy, I will take care of and be considerate of Jiang Lianzhu.

The pawnbroker spread out a map of Shili Town and pointed at it, saying, "This is Shili Town, and that's your Wangjia Village. Do you see it? This is the official road from Shili Town to your Wangjia Village. Mr. Qian's fields are right in the middle of this area, close to the official road. When we harvest the grain, we can use a cart to bring it back to the village. It's very convenient."

There were a little over twenty mu in total, and the government said we could auction it off at twenty mu. Ten mu of paddy fields and ten mu of dry land would sell for a total of two hundred taels of silver. There were also two hilltops nearby, and they were selling for fifty taels of silver each, which would make one hundred taels, for a total of three hundred taels.

By the way, if you want all of them, the Yingke Restaurant in town can be sold for a bit cheaper, one hundred taels of silver. It's a two-story wooden building in the busiest and most beautiful area of Shili Town, very lively. If you sell it alone, it would fetch one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Madam Jiang, if you buy it, you can start your own business selling autumn pear paste or something, or rent it out and collect the rent, it would be very comfortable..."

The owner of the pawnshop worked hard to sell the goods.

The total is four hundred taels of silver.

Big deal!

This was an official transaction, and the brokerage firm's commission was not much, but it could still take 10% of it, which was 40 taels of silver a day.

It will also allow the new judge to take a new look at the business capabilities of their pawnshop, and they will definitely be of great convenience in the future.

Jiang Lianzhu was moved by what she said.

Seeing that Dabao was listening attentively, she turned around and asked Dabao, "How is it?"

Dabao replied, "The location of the farmland is good. If you don't need the hilltop and the restaurant urgently, you can hold off on buying them. If you can get a lower price, mother can consider it."

The pawnbroker's shopkeeper laughed. "You little brat, you speak so clearly and so cleverly! Okay, for that, I'll give you another ten taels of silver off the price, Madam Jiang, what do you think? This is a truly low price! Four hundred taels of silver can buy so much property, what a bargain! The key is that the farmland is in a good location, close to your home, easy to care for, and the hilltop is also a good one. I heard that you can grow grain and fruit trees, and you can even set up a farm around the hillside to raise chickens, ducks, geese, etc. The birds will be very fat..."

"Especially the Yingke Restaurant in town. One hundred taels can buy a two-story wooden building with such a great location. Many people want to buy it and do business there, but they're afraid of retaliation. You're smart and fearless. You can definitely make a profit if you buy this restaurant. You can run your own business or rent it out. Master Qian will definitely not be able to do anything to you. Madam Jiang is extremely lucky, and your children are all unique. Master Qian left these things for you."

A mindless flattery.

The kids were all amused by what they heard.

Jiang Lianzhu hadn't thought about buying a storefront in the town at first, but now that the price was so cheap, she decided to buy it all.

She is a straightforward person.

They immediately took some silver and paid the deposit. The pawnshop owner was extremely efficient. He first took them to see the fields and hills in a carriage, and they found that they were exactly as the pawnshop owner had described.

Then go to see the Yingke Restaurant in the town.

The door of the Yingke Restaurant was closed, but judging from the outside, the decoration was more luxurious than others, and the quality of the small building was also good.

Nothing much to say.

Because it is a property auctioned by the government, there is no need to negotiate and bargain with the original owner, which is more convenient.

The pawnshop owner took Jiang Lianzhu and the others directly to the government office to handle the handover. The land deeds, house deeds and the like had long been seized by the government during the house search. When they heard that it was Jiang Lianzhu who came to buy, the new judge was alarmed. Hearing about Jiang Lianzhu's reputation, he came out in person to handle the handover, transfer, sign and seal.

When it comes to the final signing step,

Jiang Lianzhu suggested, "Can this be done? I want to put the land and hills directly in the names of my children. My eldest son will have ten acres of land, my second son will have ten acres of land, and my daughter will have two hills. Is that okay?"
