"That's not what I meant. It's just that my land grows well, and I take good care of it often," Erzhuzi explained awkwardly.
"Give me a break! Your land doesn't even produce grain, and you don't use any fertilizer. Your corn is shorter than everyone else's. And you call this 'fertile'? Are you trying to fool the Japanese?" Chen Feng said without any mercy.
When this was mentioned, Zhu Zi couldn't help but scratch his head. He had indeed been too lazy to take care of it in the past few years, but when he found that it wasn't growing well, he started using chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
"Then what about the other two thousand?" Chen Feng didn't dwell on it and continued to ask.
"Brother Zhu said he'd sell me his old house too, saying it's still habitable and we could even salvage some materials from it after tearing it down," Lin Nian replied without missing a beat.
Chen Feng got even angrier when he heard this, and looking at the pillar with his hands nowhere to go, he said bluntly.
"Hey bro, are you kidding me?"
"What do you mean that the house is still habitable and was even sold to Lin Nian? Why don't you live in it?"
"Does his family not have a thatched house or what, and he still has to buy yours? I bought the land, who wants your dilapidated house? I'm already being lenient by not asking you to demolish the house, and you still want money."
"You think it's still usable even after it's been torn down? I've already built a house, what's a little bit of your material?"
"You can't bully people like this. If you want to sell, then sell; if you don't want to sell, then forget it. We don't necessarily have to buy from you."
"What are you doing here? You want money for the land, you want money for the house, everything in your house is good, even your poop has to be picked up and thrown on the ground."
"What the hell? Are you bullying Lin Nian just because he's honest? We live in the same village. Are you even human? You son of a bitch."
Chen Feng became more and more agitated as he spoke, pointing his finger at Erzhuzi and cursing him without giving him any face.
"Hey, calm down. When it comes to buying and selling, if you're willing, I'll name a price. You can just say how much I'm selling my stuff for, right? Can't I even say how much I'm selling it for?"
Erzhuzi didn't dare to confront Chen Feng directly, but he was still a little angry.
"I didn't say you can't set a price. It's our business if we can't afford it for 100,000, but what are you doing, asking for both land and house fees?"
"You son of a bitch, aren't you bullying people? Go ask around the whole village, who sells their homestead and asks for money for the land and the house? Who doesn't give away their land for free?"
"What the hell? You can keep your lousy place and breed there. We'd rather buy a piece of lousy land for 25,000 than have your bastard."
"Let me see, besides us, who else in the village is building houses? You can keep it and leave it to decay."
"Lin Nian, let's go!" Chen Feng stood up and said irritably.
Lin Nian didn't say anything and followed behind Chen Feng.
"Hey, let's talk it over, a discount is fine too," Erzhuzi shouted from behind, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
"Keep it for yourself." Chen Feng didn't even look at it, and left with Lin Nian after saying that.
Erzhuzi was only pretending to see them off; he just stood up and didn't move an inch.
After seeing them leave, Erzhuzi sat back down in his seat, one foot on the stool.
He realized just now that Lin Nian was really in a hurry to build the house.
Although Chen Feng was there, he couldn't fool Lin Nian into giving him more money, but his stuff was good, so he wasn't worried at all.
My own family's homestead is considered the best kind nowadays; the rest all have some issues.
If Lin Nian wanted to buy it, he would eventually have to come to him anyway, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.
Despite Chen Feng's tough talk, he'll eventually have to slink back to me unless he goes to someone else's place and spends a lot of money to fill in the foundation.
Just kidding, these days filling a foundation costs at least two thousand yuan. There are so many good things you could do with that two thousand yuan.
He didn't believe Lin Nian could be so greedy as to buy expensive residential land instead of cheap land. How much money did he earn? How could he be so arrogant? We all live in the same village, everyone knows each other.
Those were contestants who were so poor they were practically broke, it's hilarious.
Once outside, Lin Nian couldn't help but speak, somewhat angrily: "Erzhuzi is really a scoundrel. No wonder my grandfather said he's no good."
"Brother, what do we do now?"
"There are several other residential plots in the village, why do you insist on buying his?"
“Although other homesteads may have some problems, we’d rather spend money to take the main road and throw the money away than let him get away with it, damn it.”
Chen Feng got angry just thinking about Erzhuzi's behavior.
"I'll listen to you, brother." Lin Nian now completely obeys Chen Feng's orders; he'll do whatever you say.
They soon arrived at the next house, and when the family heard that Chen Feng had come to buy a plot of land, they quickly invited them into the house.
These days, there are only a handful of families who haven't built new houses. Although some of the remaining houses are old, they are generally still habitable and no one would rebuild them.
Although homestead land is valuable, you only get money when you sell it; keeping it is useless.
"Fengzi, why are you buying more land for building a house? Your house is almost finished!"
"The cigarettes are a bit cheap, sorry."
Old Yu opened a new pack of cigarettes and handed it to Chen Feng and Lin Nian, asking curiously and adding with a smile.
After all, the news that Chen Feng spent 600,000 yuan to build a house had spread. People of his level now might not even care about cigarettes that cost a few yuan. That's what Lao Yu thought.
Lao Yu and Chen Feng knew each other, but they weren't that close.
"It's alright, it's alright, it doesn't matter, as long as it smokes, that's fine." Chen Feng waved his hand, took the cigarette, and lit it for Lao Yu.
“It’s not me who wants to buy it, it’s Lin Nian who wants to buy it. His family is building a house.”
"We just came from that bastard Erzhuzi's house. What happened just now..."
Chen Feng taught Lao Yu the whole thing, and Lao Yu couldn't help but shake his head after listening.
“We all live in the same village, how could Erzhuzi do such a thing? Don’t worry, Fengzi, I absolutely didn’t do anything like that.”
"Just name your price. You all know my place, so I don't need to introduce it to you," Old Yu said frankly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was in a dilemma. How should he offer a price? If it was too high, it wouldn't be right for him, and if it was too low, Lao Yu wouldn't agree. He decided to let Lao Yu offer the price first, and then discuss it with Lin Nian.
"Brother Yu, please name your price. I don't know the exact price right now, and it won't be suitable if it's too high or too low," Chen Feng said, making excuses.
After thinking it over, Lao Yu offered a reasonably priced price.
"Okay, here it is, 18,500. Do you think that's okay? If not, we can talk about it again."
"Even if we don't reach an agreement in the end, we're still brothers, right? How can we let this matter ruin our friendship?" Old Yu's words were extremely eloquent.
“That makes sense.” Chen Feng nodded in agreement, then pondered the price.
Old Yu's place is not as good as Erzhuzi's because the terrain is lower, but the size is no different from Erzhuzi's.
Although it's low, it doesn't affect living conditions. It's just that who wouldn't want to build a house higher up? Who wants to live in a low-lying area?
