Lin Ye remembered that Lu Wanqing had said she wanted to ask about the price of the land here, as she wanted to buy it, and he kept that in mind.
He had been pondering this matter while listening to Liu Zhengfeng's mediation.
Surprisingly, those two people arguing actually had the idea of selling the land.
The other party was very excited and asked in an expectant tone, "Are you really going to buy it?"
Lin Ye asserted: "As long as you can provide evidence to prove that the land belongs to you, you have the right to dispose of it."
He already knew this from Lu Wanqing's influence: land without clear property rights should never be touched, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.
"Yes, don't worry, the land deed is from decades ago and has always been kept at home!" His smile was evident.
“However, if you want to buy the land, you must buy the houses on it as well,” the man continued.
Lin Ye frowned. "Is this even a house? It's just a wooden shed, not worth much."
"That's where we live! If you don't pay us, where will we stay?" The man's smile gradually froze, and he felt a chill in his heart, realizing that the deal was about to fall through again.
But they have always lived here. They have elderly relatives who are sick, and their work unit doesn't allocate them housing. If they sell their property, they will have to rent a place to live.
When Lin Ye heard about their practical difficulties, he was also a little worried. If they asked for an exorbitant price, he really couldn't accept the land.
Unexpectedly, the other party offered to make amends, saying, "Actually, we can't give you more. Just give us 150 yuan per mu for the land and 100 yuan per room for the houses."
Lin Ye thought about it and agreed that it wasn't unacceptable, but in order to negotiate the price further, he said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my wife."
The man was a little annoyed, thinking that Lin Ye was just asking a question, and turned back to the shed.
On the way back, Luo Hao pressed Lin Ye to tell him if he really had plans to buy land.
Lin Ye glanced at him. "You think I'm making fun of someone?"
"My wife wanted to buy it, so I'll ask around for her."
Sitting behind Luo Hao, Mu Xiaoting chimed in, "Wanqing always has her own ideas. I wonder what she's going to do with the land. I heard from my mom that there's a large piece of land on the other side of the river that belongs to someone who's been wanting to sell it for a while."
"How large is the area?" Lin Ye asked with interest.
Lu Xiaoting smiled and said, "It must be about thirty acres, all over weeds, and completely deserted!"
Lin Ye took the information to heart and prepared to tell Lu Wanqing everything so she could make a decision.
Half an hour later, Lin Ye parked his bicycle in the yard, and Lu Wanqing came out to greet him with a smile, "Ah Ye, you're back!"
Lin Ye rushed over to support her, placing a large hand on her belly and saying in an extremely gentle voice, "Baby, are you kicking Mommy? Be good!"
As he spoke, he pressed his ear against Lu Wanqing's belly to listen to the children's heartbeats.
"You can't hear me like that, we need equipment!" Lu Wanqing playfully poked his head away. "How was your run today?"
Lin Ye then explained how Mu Xiaoting's mother had helped with the paperwork.
Lu Wanqing hadn't expected that, although buying and selling houses was prohibited in this era, the streets still managed the houses, and some well-managed streets even had files for each house.
But after Lin Ye finished explaining the situation of the land by the river, he started to have his own plans.
The land in Henan is too messy. If I want to buy it, I will have to go through a lot of people and integrate it myself. It would be better to just buy the thirty acres in Hebei.
"Ah Ye, next time you should find out who owns those thirty acres of land. Let's try our best to buy it," Lu Wanqing said.
Lin Ye agreed with her idea; with the college entrance exam just around the corner, they wouldn't have much energy to spare.
Soon, he found out that the land belonged to Xu Tianshou's mother, who owned the tailor shop.
That piece of land had always been under his mother's name. During the turbulent times, because it was wasteland and was protected by someone, it was not affected or divided up. Later, he tried to sell it, but no one bought it, so it had to be left idle.
Lu Wanqing exclaimed, "The Xu family is truly wealthy!"
However, she hadn't settled accounts with Xu Tianshou for accepting Yu Xiaofeng's order to copy her cheongsams yet. This time, she might as well buy his land as compensation!
Lu Wanqing asked Lin Ye to contact Xu Tianshou and obtain a quote.
Xu Tianshou had long wanted to sell the land, and upon hearing that there was a buyer, he was eager to close the deal immediately, offering a price of 140 yuan per mu.
“Everyone else is quoting two hundred! I’m in a hurry to get rid of it, that’s why I’m quoting you such a low price!” Xu Tianshou’s eyes gleamed.
Lin Ye smiled and said, "Two hundred yuan is for the best land in Henan. Other land is one hundred and fifty yuan. You quoted one hundred and forty, which is not low. Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my wife!"
Seeing Lin Ye about to leave, Xu Tianshou grabbed him, "Brother, if you really want to buy it, I'll give you a five yuan discount. It's a complete rip-off!"
Lin Ye remained unmoved, still insisting that he would have to ask his wife before making a decision!
"Okay, name your price, and I'll see if I can accept it!" Xu Tianshou said, clearly putting himself in a passive position.
Lin Ye held up one finger. "Just one hundred yuan, not a penny more! It's just a piece of wasteland, and we don't necessarily have to buy it."
Xu Tianshou frowned, thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, this price it is! When can you bring the money over?"
Thirty acres of land, even if it's 100 per acre, that's still 3,000 yuan. Lin Ye couldn't possibly pocket that much money.
Lin Ye didn't want to drag things out, so he agreed to bring his wife over the next day to pay the money and get the land deed.
When he left, Zhou Ling happened to be looking for Xu Di and saw Lin Ye's hurried departure, and also heard Xu Tianshou muttering to himself.
