The conditions agreed upon before Chapter 69 are null and void.
Gao Wen's wife, Guo Lan, smiled slightly and said, "Mom, that's not very meaningful. We're not doing this for the money."
She looked at Yan Sui and said gently, "With so many places in the family, it's not wrong for my family to be more cautious and secure, is it?"
Yan Sui chuckled, "It's a matter of mutual consent in buying and selling, how could there be anything wrong with it? Whether you want to sell or not, I don't mind, since the contract hasn't been signed yet anyway."
Her words softened the expressions of Gao Wen and his wife considerably.
Fortunately, Zhao Chunrong called them, otherwise they would still not know that their family was going to sell the land.
The land will definitely be sold, but how it will be sold needs to be discussed carefully.
Guo Lan looked at Yan Sui and said, "Let's sit down and chat."
Her tone made it seem as if she were the master of the Yan family.
Yan Sui ignored her and turned to pour herself a glass of water.
“I have already discussed the land sale with Aunt Ruan. If you want to know anything, you can ask her to tell you.”
Guo Lan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. "The conditions we agreed on before are null and void. We need to renegotiate."
Yan Sui took a small sip of water and laughed nonchalantly.
"Why don't you tell me your terms first?"
Gao Wen was somewhat satisfied then. "You know, although they are all farmland, our family has a piece of land in a very important location. Without this piece of land, it would be impossible to connect your fishpond and farmland."
It doesn't look good to have a field left empty in the middle.
This is why he thought he could control Yan Sui.
"We're all from the same village, so we can't possibly ask for an exorbitant price. It's just that the price you're offering is far too low."
Just as Aunt Ruan was about to retort, Yan Sui stopped her.
"Then tell me, how much money would you be willing to pay?"
Guo Lan and Gao Wen exchanged a glance; things were going more smoothly than they had imagined.
"Yan Sui, we're not greedy people, it's just that our land is in a better location than others. How about five thousand yuan per mu?"
While others paid 3,000, her family paid 5,000, which Guo Lan felt was not expensive.
"And if you need to hire more people later, you have to reserve two jobs for my family."
Aunt Ruan's face turned as black as could be. Wasn't this outrageous?
Absolutely shameless!
"Keep two positions? Do you and Gao Wen want to go back to the village to develop your careers?"
Guo Lan laughed and said, "Of course it's not for me and Gao Wen. I still have brothers and sisters in the village."
Yan Sui looked thoughtful. The other fields were fine, but that long and narrow farmland was right in the middle.
Gao Wen is right. If we don't buy from Aunt Ruan's shop, it lacks coherence and isn't aesthetically pleasing.
"If I don't agree to these conditions, there's nothing to talk about?"
Guo Lan was somewhat displeased. "Our conditions are already quite reasonable. If you can't even agree to these, it means you're not sincere, and there's really no need to continue the discussion."
Yan Sui spread her hands, "Alright, then let's not talk about it anymore. Aunt Ruan, I'm sorry, I can't buy this place from you."
Aunt Ruan was extremely embarrassed. This was her own family's problem and had nothing to do with Yan Sui.
“It’s my fault for not handling it well. If you don’t want to buy it, then don’t buy it. It’s not a big deal. I was just worried that it would delay your plans.”
Yan Sui waved her hand, "No, I still have to buy the place where Grandma Zhao lives."
It doesn't matter if there's a gap in the middle; she can just build a bridge.
Seeing that Gao Wen and his group didn't move, Tian Xiangjuan impatiently ordered them to leave: "Aren't you leaving?"
Gao Wen and Guo Lan looked at each other, then got up to take their leave.
They couldn't stay calm as soon as they came out.
“I told you five thousand was too high! Now look what’s happened, they’re not buying it at all, what are you going to do now?” Guo Lan complained.
Gao Wen huffed, "Then you asked them for two jobs, and see if they even bothered with you."
Guo Lan was furious and retorted angrily, "Anyway, she's going to hire people!"
“Even if they’re hiring, they’ll prioritize people from Changqing Village. Everyone knows your sister-in-law is a lazy bum,” Gao Wen retorted without hesitation.
Guo Lan gritted her teeth, "Then tell me, what do we do now?"
Gao Wen hesitated for a moment, then looked at his own mother.
"Mom, you and Yan Sui are close, why don't you say a word for us?"
Aunt Ruan said coldly, "I have nothing to say."
I shouldn't have agreed to this; I wouldn't be so embarrassed today.
"This land belongs to your family, it's surnamed Gao, not Ruan. Whether you sell it or not is none of my business."
Old Gao's face darkened. "What do you mean by that? Aren't you a member of the Gao family?"
"Of course not! I can't possibly lose my own surname just because I marry you, can I? The son is yours, the land is yours, everything is yours."
Aunt Ruan felt only sorrow in her heart.
She's lived most of her life, but she doesn't know what it was all for.
She wiped her face and dragged her heavy, tired steps home.
Whatever, it's none of her business.
Old Gao sneered, "Look at your mother, she's really had it too easy! Put the local matter aside for now, I don't believe Yan Sui really won't buy our land!"
She's trying to control their family; whoever backs down first will lose.
Gao Wen nodded; he thought it made sense.
"Let's go back first. Anyway, there are people in the village keeping an eye on us, so Yan Sui won't dare to secretly sign a contract with my mother."
The next day, Grandma Zhao and her group gathered at Yan Sui's house.
Everyone was a little surprised not to see Aunt Ruan.
Her family owns the most farmland.
Yan Sui explained with a smile, "Aunt Ruan forgot to discuss it with her family; she's not selling her property."
Old Mrs. Zhao was a smart woman. As soon as she heard what she said, she knew that it was Ruan Da Ma's family who had caused trouble.
However, she didn't say anything, after all, it was someone else's family matter.
"Then our place..."
"Yours will proceed as usual, but let's make it clear first: we always act according to the contract. Once the contract is signed, there's no going back," Yan Sui warned them.
What I fear most is that they will be like Aunt Ruan's family, failing to discuss things properly with their family members and then going back on their word.
Grandma Zhao said firmly, "Don't worry, we all understand and won't go back on our word."
This place is just going to be abandoned anyway, so we might as well let Yan Sui take over it.
Yan Shunzhong explained the pros and cons to them. If these dozens of acres of lotus pond could attract some tourists, it would also benefit Changqing Village.
People come all the way from the city, they need to eat and drink, and some might even want to stay in the village for a couple of days.
She plans to use the contract fees to renovate the house and turn it into a guesthouse for rent.
However, this is just Grandma Zhao's initial idea, and whether it will come to fruition is another matter.
The most important thing now is to sign the contract.
After the contract was signed, Yan Sui began to transfer the money.
The fishpond and the fields together comprised about forty acres, less than she had anticipated, but at least things were settled.
Just as Yan Sui was about to catch her breath, she received a message from Jiang Yeling.
She's busy filming every day, but she hasn't forgotten to keep up with the gossip online.
She opened the voice call and heard Jiang Yeling's excited scream.
"Go online and check! Yan Mo and Fu Qingci were taken to the police station by the police and paparazzi took photos of them! They probably couldn't agree on a price, so the paparazzi released the photos directly."
"What did they do wrong? They should be locked up for ten days or so."
Yan Sui replied lazily, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. They're probably just cooperating with the investigation; they haven't committed any crimes."
She explained the situation to Jiang Yeling.
Jiang Yeling was somewhat disappointed when she heard this, but soon she let out a high-pitched scream.
"Yan Mo and Fu Qingci have issued a statement! I knew those two bitches were up to no good, trying to pin this on you."
