Chapter 81: Land Package Selling
The Liu family was stunned. "Use land as collateral? How?"
Didn’t you sell the land to them for silver?
Shen Qing nodded continuously: "Yes, my fields are between our Qili Village and Shili Village, not too far from your Shili Village;
Besides, my fields are near water sources, so they are in good locations. If I use them to pay off my debts, I will definitely not lose money, and I may even make a profit."
Liu Sheng was very excited. His mother said that Chuntao's belly was obviously a boy, so he had to buy some property for his baby. In the future, his son would just have to lie down and collect rent, and he would never have to worry about food and drink.
"How do you change it?"
Shen Qing said distressedly, "I have three mu of land, all on the riverbank. I pay one and a half taels per mu, so I'll give you two mu."
Old Lady Liu snorted disdainfully, "Who wants wasteland? You can't harvest much, and you have to take care of it. It's exhausting."
The Liu family is small, the head of the family doesn't like to work, his son doesn't know how to work, Chuntao is unable to work now, and Jiang Yu, who can work, has run away again. Now all the work at home and outside falls on her alone!
Who would take care of the extra three acres of land? She wouldn't take care of it anyway!
Liu Sheng agreed: "Right! Who wants the land? We want the fields. Let's trade them!"
Shen Qing said in embarrassment: "If the family is not in urgent need of money these days, who would be willing to sell the land?"
Old Man Liu said firmly, "You don't have the money, so you have to sell it even if you don't want to! How about this, the debt of one acre of land will be written off and this matter will be forgotten."
"Oh, Old Man Liu, your abacus beads are about to jump onto my face!"
"Yes, I heard it even from outside the wall."
"One mu of land is worth four taels of silver. Everyone knows that. But it's worth three taels of silver, and yet you act like your family is at a disadvantage. Do you Liu family have any shame?"
"Let alone four taels of silver, who would be willing to sell their land, especially good land near a water source? Even if you have the money, you don't have the land to buy it, and yet you still want to buy an acre of land for three taels of silver!"
"Aunt, don't mortgage it to the Liu family. Sell it to me and I'll give you four taels of silver!"
…
Shen Qing: ...No, no, how could she cheat a good person!
This land can only be sold to the Liu family and Captain Sun.
When the Liu family heard someone make a bid, they panicked!
Liu Sheng shouted anxiously: "Dad and Mom, good farmland is so hard to come by. If you don't think about yourselves, you should think about your grandson."
Old Man Liu and Mrs. Liu swallowed their saliva with a gulp, their hearts beating wildly.
When no one is rushing to buy it, I don’t really want to buy good farmland, but after someone rushes to buy it, I think it is a good thing and I will lose out if I don’t buy it.
Whatever! It's still worth three taels of silver, so it's still a profit.
Old Man Liu looked around and warned gloomily, "You outsiders, just watch the fun and don't get involved!
This is a matter between the Jiang family and the Liu family. Besides, if you can afford the money, can't my Liu family afford it? Isn't it just a tael of silver? Jiang family, you wait, I will make up for it when I get back!"
Shen Qing sighed: "I know everyone is doing this for my own good, but this matter started with the Jiang family, so let's do whatever the Liu family says, and we won't have to bother them in the future.
Besides, farming is tiring, and I've long since given up. Everyone knows my family's situation, so it's better to sell them all at once and save myself the trouble. It doesn't matter who I sell them to. If someone wants to buy them, I'd rather lower the price than sell them all."
The Liu family, who had pricked up their ears to listen, immediately asked, "Do you want to sell any other fertile land?"
"Selling it together? Selling it at a reduced price?"
"How much silver?"
Shen Qing glanced at the three of them and taunted: "Seventeen acres of land, you can't afford it!"
Liu Sheng was not convinced and said in a harsh voice, "How do you know we can't afford it? But we need to see if your land is worth the price."
Jiang Xiangdong was anxious. He hurriedly tugged at Shen Qing's sleeve, glared at the Liu family, and advised: "Mom, even if we want to sell the land, we can't sell it to the Liu family!"
Shen Qing: ...Good boy, you don’t understand, you can only sell it to them.
Everyone else noticed it by now.
Shen Qing was determined to sell the land. Not to mention that she could easily come up with three taels of silver, even the silver jewelry in the hands of Huo Bing, Jiang Yu and Jiang Shui was worth six taels. It was not necessary for her to sell the land.
Moreover, based on previous practices, he would definitely not agree to compensation so easily. But today, not only did he agree to it, he also took the initiative to use the land as collateral, and seemed to be only willing to sell it to the Liu family.
What is mom’s plan?
But no matter what the plan is, they will cooperate!
Jiang Xiangnan quickly grabbed his eldest brother and said cheerfully, "Brother, how could you be so prejudiced? Of course I'll sell it to whoever offers the highest price. How can I be so stingy with money?"
He didn't want to farm, but he couldn't let the Liu family get it for free.
Selling it to the Liu family at a high price wouldn't be a loss.
Jiang Xiangbei also advised: "Yes, big brother, this concerns my aunt, how can we make a mistake? Sell it to the Liu family, just hope they don't make trouble in the future."
Jiang Shui reminded: "Brother, you won't be wrong if you listen to mother."
Jiang Xiangdong didn't get it. Seeing his younger brother and sister being so cowardly, he was so angry that he couldn't help but say, "Why would I ignore my aunt?
It's because of my aunt that I don't want to sell it to the Liu family. Our fields are close to a water source and are connected. It's convenient for plowing, sowing, irrigation, and harvesting. We don't have to worry about not being able to sell it. Even if it takes a little longer, it's not like we can't wait. Why should we rush to sell it to the Liu family? "
Shen Qing sighed: "We are anxious to wait, but the land can't wait.
It's almost time to plant corn. How can we plant the seeds if we don't till the fields? If we leave such good fields uncultivated, we'll be struck by lightning.
Let the Liu family be the Liu family. It's our fault. Now I have nothing else to lose. I just hope we can live a peaceful and stable life in the future."
The Liu family members were delighted and kept echoing: "Jiang family boss, did you hear what your mother said?"
"Your mother and your brothers and sisters are right!"
"Why bother nagging him? He can't make the decision. Jiang family, Sister Jiang, how do you sell it?"
Shen Qing pondered for a long time, raised his head, and said with great difficulty: "Seventeen acres of land, four taels of silver per acre, a total of sixty-eight taels, I'll give you an integer, sixty-five taels.
Three mu of land, one mu and one and a half taels, the total is still four and a half taels, which is also an integer of four taels;
The original total was sixty-nine taels, minus the three taels, so the total is sixty-six taels. How about sixty-five taels, no less. If you want it, just come and get the land deed. If not, I'll find someone else."
"Mom, your price is too low! It's too cheap for the Liu family!"
"Yes, why should we give them less and less? How much is missing? That's pure silver."
Shen Qing sighed: "We have a lot of land, how can we sell it all in a short time? If we sell it to the Liu family, won't it be cheaper?
But sixty-five taels is a lot, and the Liu family may not be able to afford it..."
Captain Sun quickly spoke up, "Bring it forward, bring it forward! Once we've seen the land, if what you say is true, just sit back and wait for the Liu family to come over with the money in exchange for the land deed!"
The Liu family can’t afford it, but he can!
He had long wanted to buy the fertile land near the city.
