Under normal circumstances, any family with an elderly person would definitely have two coffins at home, but the Gu family was too poor, and the old man passed away very suddenly. They had no spare coffins at home, so they had to buy one on the spur of the moment.
But when I wanted to buy a coffin on short notice, not many people were willing to sell it. I finally found a family that was willing to sell it, but the price was much higher than the market price.
The market price of a coffin is about 5,000 yuan, but this family wants 6,000 yuan. The reason is that it costs money to transport the coffin to this mountain.
The price is seven thousand, so forget it if you don’t want to buy it.
The old man must have a coffin, and he should be put into the coffin today, otherwise it would be a missed time.
So the couple started arguing about this.
Tang Xiaobao was about to speak when Gu Hao spoke up, "Seven thousand is seven thousand, Mom and Dad, stop arguing and stop looking for a cheaper price. It's a bit expensive, but we have to pay for it now, so we have no choice but to accept it. I'll pay for it."
"You pay? What are you going to pay with?" Gu Qiantian said unhappily.
"I'm back with money." Gu Hao had been carrying a bag on his back. He put the bag down and took out a bundle of money from it, which was exactly ten thousand yuan. He gave it all to Gu Qiantian.
Last night, he went to a nearby ATM to withdraw some money, knowing that everything related to the funeral would cost money.
But he didn't expect that ten thousand yuan would be gone in the blink of an eye.
"Where did you get this money?" Gu Qiantian was stunned and a little surprised.
Gu Hao looked at Tang Xiaobao.
Tang Xiaobao quickly said, "These are all earned by Gu Hao himself. Uncle, just take them. Hurry and pull the coffin back first."
"good."
Gu Qiantian didn't care about saving money anymore. He found a few laborers and went to the nearby villagers' homes to pull the coffin.
This problem has just been solved, and a new problem has arisen.
A stonemason came over and said to Gu Qiantian, "The Li family is such a jerk. Didn't you agree with him yesterday to buy the land for 5,000 yuan? Now he suddenly disagrees and insists on 10,000 yuan. Either you pay him or he won't sell it."
"How can there be such people? Isn't this just adding insult to injury?" Zheng Wen was indignant.
The stonemason glanced at her and said to Gu Qiantian, "What do you think we should do about this? How about changing the location?"
"No, the master said that the land is a Feng Shui treasure land, which is related to future generations. Moreover, my father also took a fancy to that piece of land when he was alive. I promised him. How can we change the place at the last minute?" Gu Qiantian's eyes were blazing with anger. "Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, Gu Qiantian walked to the back of the house.
Tang Xiaobao and the others had nothing to do anyway, so they followed.
The cemetery was not far away. There were several stonemasons sitting there to rest. Several stones for building the tombstone had also been mined. But now a woman was standing there with her hands on her hips, shouting.
"I left this cemetery for our elderly family member. It's all that damn thing's fault. He wanted to sell it for such a low price. I didn't know about it beforehand. Anyway, I won't sell this land. Let Gu Qiantian find another place."
"Sister Li, didn't you promise? The last time I talked to Brother Li about this, you agreed too." Gu Qiantian said, holding back his anger, "Besides, things are urgent now, so where can we find another place? How about you help me out, Sister Li? Forget ten thousand, how about I give you eight thousand?"
Gu Qiantian didn't want any more problems to arise. The old man's body was cold and he had suffered a lifetime. Now that he had passed away, he had to be buried in a good place. This was also what the old man had ordered before he died.
But when Sister Li heard this, she was stunned and immediately said, "What? Eight thousand yuan? Your price is too low. This is a Feng Shui treasure land. Ten thousand yuan, I will consider it as helping you. Otherwise, don't blame me for making things difficult for you."
"Aren't you just making things difficult for me?" Zheng Wen jumped out. She liked to stand up for the weak and had the spirit of a heroine. She vented her dissatisfaction towards Mrs. Li.
Sister Li glanced at her and yelled, "Who are you? Judging from your accent, you're not a local. What does this have to do with you?"
"How can it be okay? Gu Hao and I are classmates and friends. We are just here to help. I have bought this piece of land. Just tell me how much you want and I will give it to you." Zheng Wen said generously.
When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately became unhappy.
The Li family only has a college student, and you are just Gu Hao's classmate. You act like you are so rich. How arrogant you are! Okay, then I will scare you to death.
"Oh my, a rich man comes out. Great, you want to make a name for yourself, right? One hundred thousand, come and take it. Can you afford it? If you don't have the diamond drill, don't take the porcelain job. Why are you showing off?" Mrs. Li said with a look of sarcasm on her face.
Zheng Wen was so angry that her lips trembled. She pointed at Mrs. Li and couldn't say a word.
"you……"
"What do you mean by 'I'? Aren't you pretending to be rich? Then give me the money. I'm making this clear today. If you are short of 100,000, I won't sell it. If you have 100,000, I'll sell it immediately." Mrs. Li also had a bad temper and she shouted immediately.
"Okay, very good. Don't you just want 100,000 yuan? Don't mention 100,000. Even if you want 1 million, I can give it to you. Do you want cash or bank transfer? If you want cash, we will go and get it right away. If you want bank transfer, you can pay by mobile phone right away." Zheng Wen looked at her with disdain.
Talking about money with her, isn't this a joke?
Her annual pocket money is hundreds of thousands, plus the red envelopes she receives during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, which she has been saving. Although she is just a student, she is definitely a wealthy woman and can easily take out millions.
Mrs. Li still didn't believe it and said, "Okay, I want cash, you can take it."
Ye Biao was also angry: "Hey, you are too much. You just want money. She doesn't have to pay the 100,000 yuan. I can pay it."
"Brother Tang, do you need me to pay for this?" Wanru took out a night-shining pearl from her pocket and said to Tang Xiaobao, "I don't have any cash, it's all on my card, and it's not much, but this night-shining pearl, at least it should be more than 100,000, right?"
Tang Xiaobao was ashamed.
"Forget it, stop arguing. I'll pay for it. I'll go get the cash now. Just wait." Tang Xiaobao turned around and was about to leave.
Zheng Wen stopped him: "We agreed that I would pay, why should you pay?"
"Hey, Gu Hao and I are sworn brothers, and I'm his elder brother. I'll pay for it, no problem." Tang Xiaobao said.
"But this incident started because of me. One hundred thousand yuan isn't a lot. I only need a small amount for my New Year's red envelope. I don't have much, but I can still come up with a few million. Don't worry, I'll pay for it."
"No, I'll pay for it."
"I have to go."
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to get the money."
After saying that, Tang Xiaobao ran away.
sweat……
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
At first I thought it was a joke, but now it seems like it’s serious.
Looking at Tang Xiaobao and his group, the stonemasons swallowed their saliva.
They are all rich people.
