Chapter 238: Embarrassment at Grandma's House
"Stop it, Zhuangzi, we will take back the two thousand taels." The man who came to the door spoke.
When the people in the dental office saw the boss coming, they didn't dare to say anything, but just did as they were told.
However, Gu Xiaoxi was not satisfied: "We spent a lot of effort on that place and built the house. Two thousand taels is not enough, at least three thousand taels!"
The boss hesitated and said, "That won't work. However, I can find another farm for you. It's absolutely safe, but it's not as big as the current one."
"Are you planning to trick me?" Gu Xiaoxi asked back.
The boss said sincerely, "Miss, you might as well go and take a look first. If you are not satisfied, then tell me."
Seeing that the boss’s attitude was okay, Gu Xiaoxi decided to go over and see what the situation was before making a decision.
So the boss drove the carriage and took them out of the city, to the other direction of the city gate, and stopped at the gate of a dilapidated courtyard.
Several people got off the carriage and the boss took the key to open the gate of the yard.
Gu Xiaoxi gave Ying San a wink, and the two of them entered the yard cautiously.
The boss came alone and stood at the door without going in.
Gu Xiaoxi and Ying San walked around the village. Although the place was shabby, the houses were habitable.
After reading Zhuangzi, the two walked to the door.
Gu Xiaoxi asked straight to the point, "Boss, could you please tell me what the original owner of this place did? Why did he sell it?"
“As they were in business, I don’t know why they sold it, but after they sold it, the family moved away.
This place was brought to our office a few days ago. This farm covers 18 acres and is not much smaller than the farm you lived in before.
Besides, there are still mountains behind us, two mountains at that, so you won’t suffer any loss.” The boss told Gu Xiaoxi about the situation here.
Gu Xiaoxi was a little excited when she heard that there were two mountains behind. What made her even more excited was that this place was much closer to the city gate than the place where she lived before.
"I'll go back and discuss it with my family." She didn't agree immediately. She couldn't be too anxious like last time. She had to go around and find out more about the situation first.
"Okay, but I can only give you three days. After three days, I can only refund you at the original price." The boss said seriously.
Gu Xiaoxi had no choice but to agree. After all, if they had a big fight, they might not gain the upper hand.
Moreover, the environment here is pretty good. Although it is not a new house, they definitely have a place to live.
After leaving the village, they drove the carriage back and the boss returned to the pawnshop.
When he arrived at the door of the pawnshop, he did not go in, but went into the private room of the restaurant next door.
There was a man sitting in the private room. When he saw the boss come in, he asked, "Did she agree?"
"I guess he's afraid of being at a disadvantage, so he said he'd go back and discuss it with his family," the boss replied.
"Okay, then I'll go back and tell my master." The man stood up after hearing this.
The boss asked in confusion, "She's just a woman from another place. Your master has never been a good person. Why is he acting like a good guy now?"
"How would I, a servant, know?" the man simply replied, then immediately rode away on his horse.
The boss stood by the window, watching the direction the boy left and muttering, "Could it be that Zhang Shun, this old iron tree, is about to bloom?"
Yawn, yawn!
Zhang Shun, who lived in the village, couldn't help sneezing.
It’s not that he has a change of heart and wants to be a good person?
He was just worried that it was unsafe for him to recuperate here, so he didn't believe what Gu Xiaoxi said, that his body could be fully recovered in ten days or half a month.
Although that woman is unreliable, her medical skills are reliable.
So, in order to recover properly, he asked his men to do the operation.
Not long after Gu Xiaoxi returned, his men came back and reported the situation to him.
After hearing this, he let out a helpless smile: "This woman is really greedy. If she doesn't change with such conditions, she must be mentally ill."
Just after tying up the carriage, Gu Xiaoxi sneezed several times, cursing in her heart, wondering which wicked ghost was talking about her?
"Xiaoxi, will they return the money?" Gu He waited for his daughter to come back at home with an uneasy heart.
Not only that, but no one else was doing any weeding or work today.
Seeing that everyone was there, Gu Xiaoxi told everyone what happened today.
After hearing this, everyone felt that it didn't matter if it was smaller, as long as it was safe. If they were attacked by bandits every other day, there would be no peace at all, and something would happen sooner or later.
But Gu Xiaoxi always felt something was wrong.
Since the human traffickers had tricked them into buying this place, why did they so easily agree to return the money and change the place?
Anyone who can work in the dental business here must have some background. It's not unreasonable that they are already backing down before she even shows off her skills.
"Xiaoxi, are you not satisfied with that place?" The old patriarch asked curiously when he saw Xiaoxi's absent-minded look.
Gu Xiaoxi came back to her senses and shook her head: "That place is not bad. It will be much more convenient for us to do business in the future."
"In that case, let's move. I'm really worried about living in this place!" Gu He came up with an idea.
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi agreed readily and asked everyone to pack up while she went to see the patients.
When she reached the yard where the patient lived, she stopped.
That’s right!
Zhang Shun is the boss of a human trafficking business. He probably has connections with the human trafficking business here. It is most likely that he asked his men to negotiate.
Wei Kong was standing at the door of the master's house. When he saw Gu Xiaoxi walking into the yard, he thought that she was going to check on the master, but she unexpectedly took a detour to the next house.
"What does this woman mean? She hasn't checked on our master all morning. Isn't the person next to him fine?" He couldn't help but complain.
Wei Cheng glanced at the boss and advised, "Boss, be careful with your words, or she might beat you up!"
He brought shame to his grandmother's house after yesterday's fight.
He glared at Wei Cheng fiercely and turned his face away.
Wei Cheng and Wei Bai looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Usually they liked to confront their boss, but I guess he was really scared this time.
On the other side, Gu Xiaoxi entered Zhang Shun's room and said straight to the point, "Is the boss today an old acquaintance of yours?"
Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment, knowing that Gu Xiaoxi had guessed it, so he decided not to hide it.
"I guess so! What's wrong?" he asked back.
"How much silver did you give them to let them take this place back?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
She doesn't like to owe favors to others, especially such unclear favors.
"I didn't give you any money, I just gave you a favor. That profiteer can even sell a graveyard, let alone a place like this.
What's more, you guys have renovated this place, so there's a chance you can sell it for a few hundred taels more." Zhang Shun told Gu Xiaoxi casually.
Gu Xiaoxi rolled her eyes. No one would believe that!
