Luo and Fu returned to the dilapidated house, and He Tiantian and Hong Erniang took a closer look at it.
Actually, apart from the flaw, everything else is pretty good.
Even if you manage to take it over, you'll probably have to renovate it. It would be best to lay bluestone flooring inside to make it look cleaner.
Even if it rains or snows in the future, my feet won't be covered in mud.
Hong Erniang strongly agreed, as cleanliness and tidiness are paramount for business people like them.
"Aunt Xiu'er, I've brought the person over for you." Madam Luo brought Madam Fu over very attentively.
And even the way they address each other has changed, and they've become so intimate.
However, such attentiveness must mean something sinister.
Sure enough, He Tiantian's premonition grew stronger as she saw the Fu family's house. Could this be the Fu family's house?
These two sisters-in-law are exactly the same; neither of them is easy to deal with.
Madam Fu stepped forward with a smile and said gently, "My sister-in-law told me you wanted to buy this shop, hehe. To be honest, there have been quite a few people looking at the shop these past few days. Yesterday, someone even offered two hundred taels, didn't they?"
Luo chimed in, "Of course, even my sister couldn't bear to sell it."
Hong Erniang and He Tiantian sneered inwardly. Ha, two hundred taels? Why don't they just rob it?
Do they think they're here to give away money? This is bullying!
Hong Erniang was even more decisive, pulling He Tiantian away, "Sister, let's go, we won't buy this shop."
Madam Luo and Madam Fu were waiting for these two to haggle. If they spoke up, the price of the shop could be reduced by at least one hundred taels.
Both of them were preparing how to respond when, unexpectedly, the other person turned around and left.
"Hey... don't go! I haven't even offered a price yet!" Madam Fu anxiously stopped her.
Hong Erniang glanced at the man sideways and said in an unfriendly tone, "Then name your price, and hurry up."
Fu was at a loss, as this was not what the two of them had expected.
"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm leaving." Hong Erniang was also very decisive.
Madam Fu panicked immediately and blurted out, "Eighty...eighty taels!"
Hong Erniang finally turned her head and gave Fu a look, but it was clear that she felt that Fu was not sincere.
"Hmph, what a waste of time." Hong Erniang pulled He Tiantian a few steps away.
Fu became even more anxious, "Don't go! How much are you planning to give us?"
Once you're in a passive position when selling a house, the rest becomes much easier to negotiate.
Hong Erniang was very experienced in dealing with this kind of person. She randomly held up three fingers and said decisively, "No more than that. Don't waste our time."
Madam Fu didn't think thirty taels was a bad deal, since the dilapidated house wasn't worth much anyway. So she agreed on the spot.
"make a deal!"
“Alright, we brought the money today. Let’s go get the land deed.” Hong Erniang took off her pouch and patted it.
There was indeed the sound of silver being tumbled inside.
Madam Fu quickly turned back to find the land deed, and Madam Luo hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise. She was very dissatisfied; this Madam Fu was so easily fooled.
So when Fu said she was going home to look for the land deed, Luo followed her.
Once they were a distance away, Luo said with dissatisfaction, "Sister, why did you agree so quickly! Your house may be dilapidated, but it can definitely be sold for a better price later."
Then Madam Fu spoke her mind, "Sister-in-law, I don't care about anything else. I only know that my two sons are waiting for money to get married."
Thirty taels of silver is more than enough to arrange marriages for the two sons in the family.
All the problems that had plagued our family for so many years were suddenly solved.
Luo's expression froze, a bitter feeling welling up inside her. Her two sons were still unmarried, and her younger brother and sister-in-law's families were already ahead of them in marriage prospects.
No, she has to find time to go to Changfeng Village.
Even if it means swallowing her pride, she has to go to her aunt's house to have a word with her, and while she's at it, she can also visit Xiuer and maybe bring back some money.
That magnolia is so beautiful; it would be perfect to keep her son company.
He Tiantian and Hong Erniang exchanged money and took the land deed. After checking that the land deed was genuine, the two were relieved.
The shop matter is settled. I'll go back today and immediately find a carpenter to repair it.
Of course, the two of them had already thought of a name for the shop.
The name "Yangchun Baixue" perfectly captures the poetic and artistic sensibilities of these wealthy young ladies who indulge in literary pursuits.
Hong Erniang was not well-educated, so naturally she didn't know what this meant.
He Tiantian explained for a long time before she could understand a little.
In short, it's something she'll never get involved in her life. But if their tea shop is run well, she might get involved in it in the future.
