Chapter 969 Going Back on One's Word
Butler Zhang thought about it for a moment, then bowed to Zhang Juexia and said, "Madam Ye, you are really a straightforward person.
only......"
"Butler Zhang, just say whatever you want to say. Isn't business negotiation just a matter of negotiation?
If you don't tell me, I don't know what you are thinking, so how can we negotiate this deal?
Besides, today you are the seller and I am the buyer. Logically, I should be the one talking more.
However, I am not a picky person, but you had something to say but I did pick a fight.
If Butler Zhang doesn't want to talk, then forget about this deal!
In fact, ten thousand taels of silver is indeed not a small amount.
Otherwise, I’ll go back and think about it…”
"Don't, Madam Ye."
Butler Zhang bowed deeply to Zhang Juexia again, "Madam Ye, I wonder if our old lady mentioned this matter before selling the manor, namely these people who followed the manor.
They are all elderly people who have followed our old lady. Our old lady is also a person who cherishes the past and does not want them to change their masters, so our old lady wants this person to stay. "
"Butler Zhang, you better understand. How can I sell the farm without keeping the people? Don't you think about it? With so much land, where am I going to find so many people to farm it in such a short time?"
"Mrs. Ye, please listen to me. These old people I'm talking about are the ones who signed the indenture with our Zhang family.
They all signed death contracts at the beginning, and our old lady has always been soft-hearted and couldn't bear to leave them behind.
However, in addition to these people, there are also some refugees that our old lady has taken in. These people are all free, and our old lady cannot take them away even if she wants to."
As Butler Zhang spoke, he pulled out a roster from his pocket and said, "As I said earlier, our old lady is soft-hearted. These people's hometowns were hit by disasters, and they fled to Qingfeng City.
Our old lady was the first to step forward and take them in. Over the years, she has never driven them out of the village.
Therefore, our old lady also hopes that Madam Ye will show some mercy and continue to take these people in."
Zhang Juexia took the roster and threw it aside, "Butler Zhang, we all know who is useful and who is not.
How could this free refugee be more loyal than someone who had signed a death contract?
I don't have to buy this farm, so I'll go back now."
Butler Zhang wanted to say something else, but Zhang Juexia had already asked Heizi to turn around, so he got off the carriage tactfully.
Zhang Juexia picked up the roster and flipped through it casually.
Butler Zhang looked at the carriage going away and couldn't help but sigh.
Inside, Madam Zhang was waiting for Butler Zhang. When she saw Butler Zhang come in, she didn't even let him greet her. She asked, "How is it?"
Butler Zhang replied truthfully, "Mrs. Ye has agreed to buy the manor, but she also wants to stay."
"That won't do. These people must be brought to the manor in the capital.
Otherwise, what should we do in the capital?
Our Zhang family has finally secured this marriage in the capital, so we can't be vague about it.
Didn't you talk to him properly?"
After hearing what his master said, Butler Zhang almost vomited blood, "Old Madam, how can I not do what you have instructed me to do?
I said a lot of nice things to Madam Ye, but Madam Ye just had this one request: I can buy the farm, but I want to keep the people and the property."
Madam Zhang was furious. "I don't know where Liu Wan met Madam Ye in the countryside, but she treats her like a treasure.
I already said it in advance, why didn't she understand? "
Butler Zhang rolled his eyes secretly. His old lady was really getting more and more confused as she got older. No matter who was in this situation, everyone would understand this. If someone bought such a big manor and didn't leave anyone there, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?
Where can we find so many people to take care of the crops in such a short time? Even the farming business cannot have so many people at once!
"Madam, this is all I can do. Madam Ye's requests are not many, and I can't make the decision. Why don't you step in and do it for me?"
Maybe you have a lot of face and can negotiate it."
Madam Zhang slapped the table and said, "If I wanted to see her, I would have seen her just now, right?
I'm not very happy about selling the farm that originally had such a good harvest.
It would have been fine if it was bought by a family like the Shen family, but it was bought by such an unknown family.
I don't know what Liu Jia'an's intention was to introduce me to such a family."
Butler Zhang secretly complained in his heart, if you don’t want to sell it, then don’t sell it!
I'm not forcing you to sell.
"Forget it, forget it. We have finally gotten married, so don't let this little thing ruin our relationship.
However, I have to give her some time off, so let's just leave it at that today.
Manager Zhang, please spread the word that we are going to sell the farm.
I just don’t believe that without Mrs. Ye, no one would buy it.
Let's leave her alone for a day or two and see if she makes any further demands. We are the Zhang family's people, so we can take them away. This is what we should share."
Butler Zhang was speechless, but he still said, "Old Madam, the news of us selling the farm has already spread.
Because no one wanted to sell it, you asked Old Madam Shen for help."
"Then we have to leave her alone for a day or two."
"Mom, how's the discussion about selling the farm going?
The people in the capital are urging us to buy the house again. They said if we can’t get the order, they’ll give it to someone else.”
Old Madam Zhang raised her head and looked at her son with an anxious face. Alas, comparison is the thief of joy. Apart from being able to write a few sour poems, her son really didn't have any great abilities. Compared with Liu Wan's two sons, there was a world of difference!
"Mom, did you hear what I said?"
Madam Zhang tried to calm herself down and said, "Didn't I tell them to wait for a few days?"
"Mother, that's the capital, how can it be compared to Qingfeng City?
There are many wealthy families there, and the people in the pawnbroking business said that if this kind of farm is released, someone will rob it.
Mother, if you are in a difficult situation, you don’t have to accompany Ying’er to the farm.
Our Zhang family is not as good as others, so it is reasonable for her to be a little angry.
Since we can't compete, then let's not compete.
If you are really worried about her not having a good life, then it's better not to get married.
There are many good families in Qingfeng City. She married in Qingfeng City. We are close to her, so you don’t have to sell the farm.
Mother, I don't want you to sell this farm. It would be great if you could leave it to me!"
Madam Zhang patted her chest and panted heavily, "I finally got this marriage through hard work. Besides, marriage is not a joke. It's already been decided. If you don't want to get married, then forget it."
