Chapter 256: Acquired a Manor by Chance
Madam Feng snorted coldly and said, "How much silver do you think your old house and that dilapidated shop are worth?! And that estate, how long have you neglected it? There's nothing left in it! I've already decided to sell all three of them, and then you can take the money and come back to my parents' home with me and the children."
Madam Feng's family was also in business, but they were in the sesame oil business.
Master Feng was somewhat unwilling, "How can I, a grown man, go back to your parents' house to live with you!"
Madam Feng didn't waste any more words with him and directly took out a letter of divorce. "If you don't want to come back to your parents' home with me, then take this letter of divorce. We are no longer husband and wife."
Master Feng was truly frightened now. If he got a divorce now, he would really be all alone.
He quickly said, "Madam, don't worry, I'll go, I'll go back to your parents' home with you!"
Upon hearing his words, Madam Feng put away the letter of divorce and the knife. "Very well, I'll hurry up and sell the shop and the house in the next couple of days. You stay at home obediently."
Master Feng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Madam."
Madam Feng turned and left, and before leaving, she sent two servants to watch over him.
Master Feng had originally planned to reopen a rice shop, but now not only can he not open the shop, he also has to live with his wife and mother-in-law.
He hated himself so much he wanted to grind his teeth; he should never have gambled.
Perhaps, I shouldn't have gone to Cheng'an County in the first place.
Madam Feng acted swiftly, selling her house and shops in just two or three days.
They still had a manor left, with a lot of fields, but those fields were abandoned and unattended.
Du Wanchun learned from Aunt Wang that Madam Feng wanted to sell the estate, and immediately went to find Madam Feng.
When Madam Feng saw that someone wanted to buy the estate, she was very happy and welcomed Du Wanchun into the mansion. "Sister, our estate is still big, but it has been neglected for a long time and has long been abandoned."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "It's alright, I can send someone to take care of it myself."
Madam Feng was delighted. She had originally thought that no one in Wanzhou County would be willing to spend a large sum of money to buy this abandoned estate.
It takes a lot of effort to keep it clean and tidy.
She smiled and said, "Sister, how about one hundred taels of silver in total?"
One hundred taels of silver isn't expensive to buy an estate; Du Wanchun hadn't expected her to offer such a low price.
Although the Feng family's estate has long been abandoned, it is very large. How large? At least twice the size of Changliu Village.
Master Feng has proposed opening a rice shop. If we can cultivate the land in these estates again, opening a rice shop will definitely be no problem.
However, Madam Feng was not keen to stay in Wanzhou County any longer; she had long wanted to return to her parents' home.
This time, Master Feng lost most of his fortune, which was just an excuse for her to go back.
She actually still had a portion of her dowry in her possession.
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Of course, but Madam, are the land deeds and house deeds for your estate complete?"
Madam Feng quickly brought out the house deed and land deed, saying, "Sister, look, they're all here."
Du Wanchun took the house deed and land deed, then took out a silver note of one hundred taels of silver. "Madam, the silver note is here."
Mrs. Feng was overjoyed to receive it.
After Du Wanchun left, Master Feng heard that Madam Feng had sold the estate to the Zhou family at a low price, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
But instead of getting angry, he resorted to a hunger strike to protest.
After a three-day hunger strike, Guai Guai left Wanzhou County with Madam Feng.
Du Wanchun, carrying the house and land deeds, led Zhang Qiuhe to the Feng family's estate.
