The South Korean companies gritted their teeth and stopped arguing.
He was good at judging people by their character. Since the other party was straightforward, he didn't mince words: "Brother, I'll give you at least thirteen taels per mu, but the land deed tax can't be paid. I can't sell land and then have to pay extra, can I?"
"It's seven hundred and fifty taels in total. You've paid the deed tax for us, so I'll just close the deal now."
"Oh dear, brother, you've cost me dozens of taels of silver again with just one bite of your mouth!"
"Sure? Yes, I'll pay right now!"
After much internal struggle, the South Korean businessman finally agreed: "...Brother, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this price. And if you need to buy land again in the future, you must come to me..."
To be honest, at that price, he didn't make much profit at all.
However, one must also consider the long term when doing business.
"OK."
On the way back, the broker walked ahead, while the Chi family members talked behind.
"Old man, we only have so much money at home. Even if we buy the house and this much land, a thousand taels of silver won't be enough! What were you thinking?"
Aunt Chi was heartbroken and her heart ached.
However, Chi Dashan was pleased: "The soil here is very good, and the price is much cheaper than ours."
A sense of pride shone on Old Man Chi's dark face as he smiled and said, "Of these sixty mu of land, my wife and I will keep twenty mu. The remaining forty mu will be given to our eldest, second, third, and fourth sons, ten mu each!"
“You’ve all been married and have children for a long time, so it’s time for you to have your own land. We’ll put your names on the land deeds in a bit. After that, your mother and I won’t help you with farming or anything like that, and we won’t pay for it either. You’ll have to pay for it yourselves… When it’s harvest time, each of you will get 100 catties of grain from your mother and me.”
"Xiao Wu is still too young, so we won't buy her one yet. We'll make it up to her when we have more money. Tang Tang needs one too. My next goal is to buy my daughter twenty acres of land! Hehe."
Old Man Chi had his own plans.
My daughter is still young, we can take it slow.
He started saving it up little by little.
I hope to bring 100 acres of land as a dowry when my daughter gets married!
Just thinking about it makes me happy!
Little Wu immediately declared, "I don't want any of mine, I'll give them all to my sister!"
"Silly boy, you need both. You'll have to get married someday, won't you?"
"Where is a wife more important than a younger sister?"
"Haha, that's just kidding."
The whole family was all smiles and in a great mood.
Chi Erchuan, however, was not happy. Somewhat embarrassed, he went to his parents and said frankly, "Father and Mother, I... I have no face to take these ten acres of land. I... I still need the family's money to go to school. How can I have the nerve to take these ten acres of land?"
"Second brother, don't think like that. We're family."
No, that won't do.
Surprisingly, no matter how his family tried to persuade him, Chi Erchuan refused to take the ten acres of land.
Old Man Chi didn't press the matter further: "Alright then, let's give these ten acres of land to Xiao Wu for now. But we'll only keep 20% of the harvest for him to save money, and your mother and I will keep the rest. We'll give the land to him after he gets married."
"If we buy land again, it will be for Tangtang. None of you are allowed to take it from her!"
Old Man Chi still intended to say these things first.
As for grandsons, let the sons worry about them. Otherwise, what's the use of having sons?
One generation takes care of the next!
The Korean company spent another half an hour running around to get the land deeds done through the government. The Chi brothers then went to sign the deeds and put them away.
Only Chi Wuhu is still small, and the land deed is kept by Aunt Chi.
With the important matter settled, Old Man Chi finally felt at ease and then went to a restaurant in town for a meal.
"Hmm, this doesn't taste as good as my mom's."
"This isn't as good as the old lady's stir-fry either."
"Sigh, it will be another year or two before I can eat my sister-in-law's food again. I'm so sad." Tangtang shook her little head and sighed.
Who can understand the pain of having your palate spoiled?
A moment later, a man dressed as a shopkeeper came over and asked in a humble manner, "...I wonder who the woman you gentlemen have mentioned is who cooks so well?"
"What's the matter?" Chi Dashan put down his chopsticks.
The innkeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "Sir, please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. I am the owner of this restaurant and I'm looking for a chef who can cook delicious food. I just overheard something... so I made this request."
"I'm so sorry, but my daughter-in-law is pregnant and can't stand the smell of cooking oil," Aunt Chi said directly, refusing the offer.
Sister-in-law Chi, who was about to speak, immediately shut her mouth.
Chi Tang secretly saw this and immediately added, "My sister-in-law is pregnant, it depends on her mood."
well.
Her mother is such a worry for her.
How could I directly refuse on behalf of my sister-in-law?
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Chi smiled and said, "If the shopkeeper still needs a cook after I give birth, I'll come back."
It's always good to have something to do.
Earning her own money is something she dreams of doing.
That's such a shame.
The shopkeeper said nothing and left.
One year later?
There are too many variables.
Huo Chenyi said, "Sister-in-law, if you are really interested, why don't you go and show off your skills to the shopkeeper now? Otherwise, we might not be short of people a year from now."
Everyone knows how skilled my sister-in-law is at cooking.
Only by setting out bait can you keep the other side hanging.
"But doesn't the eldest son's family hate the smell of cooking oil?" Aunt Chi asked worriedly, somewhat unwilling.
This pregnancy was already quite uncomfortable, and we don't need the money. How can it compare to a peaceful pregnancy?
It would be best if I could come after giving birth, but there's no loss if I can't.
