Wu An did not agree with his father's words.
The two families do not get along, but if he offers a high price, Wu Yingjin will definitely be eager to sell to him.
Wu Yingjin's refusal to sell can only mean that the money wasn't paid in full.
Of course, he wasn't a fool; he wouldn't spend a lot of money on a plot of land for a house.
The homesteads in the village are not valuable now, and no one buys them. Wu Yingjin's homestead is abandoned there and is actually worthless. If he is willing to spend money to buy it, Wu Yingjin is actually getting a good deal.
Spending more money is absolutely out of the question.
He felt like he was losing out if he spent even a penny more on this matter.
Mei Yueqin said, "You said you wanted to buy Wu Yingjin's homestead. I heard from others that Wu Yingjin seems to be selling something."
"Very mysterious."
"His sudden return to the village must mean something's wrong."
Wu An nodded: "Alright, I'll ask around."
He has an attachment to the old house and doesn't really want to move.
He had a turbulent past life, and in this life he wanted to make up for it tenfold. He grew up in this old house, and this is his root.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the old house instead of going home even though his father had taken him back.
Moreover, the old house is quite comfortable to live in. It's in a good location, not far from the sea but also a bit far from the village, so it's quiet and peaceful most of the time.
The students designed a five-story villa for Teacher Fan, with an indoor and outdoor swimming pool built on the large single-level floor. Swimming while looking at the sea sounds quite interesting.
Try buying Wu Yingjin's homestead first. Even if Wu Yingjin is unwilling to sell, it doesn't mean it can't be sold.
If you think about it, there's always a way.
If all else fails, he'll find another auspicious location in the village to build a house.
Wu Yingwei quickly walked to the side, took out his phone and made a call, seemingly to the matchmaker.
Not long after, the matchmaker arrived.
Wu An glanced at her and saw that she was one of the few older women in the village. If he were to follow the seniority system, he would have to call her Grandma.
This old lady is not only of a higher generation, but according to Mei Yueqin, she is from the same village as Gu Anran's grandmother.
The old lady sat down and spoke Gu Anran's grandmother's nickname, saying that she and Gu Anran's grandmother were friends when they were young and often played together. In the blink of an eye, a lifetime has passed.
This old lady is much luckier than Grandma Gu Anran. Not only does she have many children, but she is also good at managing the household. Her children get along well, making her a rare model family in the village.
It's clear that Wu Yingwei really put a lot of thought into finding a matchmaker.
Finding this matchmaker couldn't be more perfect.
We chatted for a while.
Wu An wanted to say something, but was told not to get involved, leaving Wu An speechless.
Meeting the parents and getting engaged are both his business, so why is he acting like an outsider now?
After the two had finished chatting, the matchmaker got up to take her leave. Wu An quickly took some seafood that he had just brought, but Mei Yueqin and the old lady declined.
Wu An, watching from the side, felt a chill run down his spine. He genuinely didn't understand what all this polite formality was about; it was just too much of a formality.
After the old lady leaves, I still have to visit Gu Anran's house. After all, a matchmaker has to be busy on both sides.
This is just a meeting between the two sets of parents for a meal; the real work will begin when they start discussing the engagement.
Dinner in the evening.
They take engagements very seriously; there are many things to prepare, and the ceremony is quite elaborate.
As Wu An listened to his father, brother, and sister-in-law discussing the preparations for the engagement ceremony, he felt it was so troublesome, complicated, and tedious.
He really wants to keep everything simple.
As soon as I said it, I was severely criticized.
My father disagreed, and my brother and sister-in-law shared the same opinion. Even if we didn't hold a big celebration, we should still do it like everyone else in the village.
Wu An wisely refrained from saying anything more.
Some of his views are still ahead of their time.
Of course, even in the future, there won't be much change on their side.
The things and ceremonies required for engagement and marriage are becoming more and more numerous and complicated.
This has led to more and more young people being unwilling to get married and unwilling to carry too many burdens.
...
After dinner, Gu Anran called.
The two also chatted on the phone, and ironically, the two parties involved ended up having no say in the matter.
Wu An didn't say anything, but Gu Anran started complaining first, saying that holding these ceremonies for engagement and marriage was like making a fool of monkeys, and the two of them were the monkeys being made a fool of.
The only saving grace is that they don't get involved, so they don't need to bother with this matter.
Their families will naturally take care of everything for them, and when it comes to engagement or wedding, they just need to act as mascots.
After making the call.
When Wu An returned to the house, he saw his father, brother, and sister-in-law looking at the gold jewelry he had bought for Gu Anran.
His father and older brother approved of his actions, saying it was something a real man would do.
My sister-in-law didn't say anything, but her eyes revealed a hint of envy.
"We'll display it when we get engaged; it'll definitely impress everyone."
“Well done, Ah An. So much gold jewelry is a kind of fixed asset.”
"Gold prices are getting higher and higher, so buying now is definitely more cost-effective than buying later."
Upon hearing his sister-in-law's words, Wu An quietly nudged his elder brother.
Wu Ping looked up at him, who was winking at him, and suddenly said, "I'll take you to the county town another day and buy you a set too."
When they got married, some people bought gold jewelry, but he didn't.
Mei Yueqin rolled her eyes: "You don't have a damn amount of money."
Wu Ping was speechless after being rebuked.
Wu An remained silent, as he couldn't directly offer assistance or ask his elder brother to go to sea with him, but his brother was unwilling.
But there will always be opportunities for my older brother to make money in the future.
If the older brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship and have money, then life will be quite comfortable.
Back home.
Old Mai's lawyer friend prepared the contract and sent it over.
It's not free.
The fee has been paid.
The lawyer sent him a message and chatted with him for a bit, praising his considerable expertise.
Wu An casually replied with a couple of sentences.
The two families will meet tomorrow. He booked a table at President Qin's place and will also sign the contract there.
Funds received.
The design draft has been finalized.
Then we can start construction immediately. If all goes well, it can be completed in six months, and the guesthouse will open for business next spring. He's determined to be the first to try something new.
...
The next morning.
The first thing Wu An did after getting up was to check his luck value. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He glanced at the not-so-good weather outside and wondered if the luck value was affected by the weather.
He was playing on his phone when Gu Anran called, and his mood gradually improved.
So be it.
He still has a lot to do today, and even with a lot of luck, he might not have time to get things done.
After a quick wash, I headed home.
In the courtyard.
My father and brother and sister-in-law were dressed formally, and my sister-in-law even wore makeup, which was unusual for her.
When Mei Yueqin saw Wu An walking into the house in slippers, she was immediately furious and couldn't help but ruffle his messy hair: "You should at least wash your hair!"
