The Royal’s Little Lady Chapter 193: The price starts from the floor
After breakfast, Jing Bu came back and directly discussed with her about building a jam shop in Xinhe Town.
Because once the construction started, it would take two months anyway, so I thought about finishing it as soon as possible, so I went out early to choose a site.
In fact, Jing Bu has already done some research. Next to the village closest to Xinhe Town, there is a large piece of wasteland. Because it is sandy land and cannot produce enough crops, it has been left idle.
Chu Yingying and the two of them walked from Xinhe Town to the land. They silently counted in their hearts that it only took twelve or three minutes. They were very close, and they were very satisfied.
After arriving, I saw that the place was big enough, and it would be enough to cover it later.
And it's still some distance from the village, so I won't disturb others or be disturbed by the villagers, which makes me feel even more satisfied.
"Let's go, let's go to the patriarch of this village to discuss how much money we can buy."
"Okay."
The two of them thought that this business would go smoothly, but they didn’t expect that when the other person opened his mouth——
"That piece of land is ten acres long, and it's very close to the town. Since Mrs. Fortune wants to buy it, I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price, five hundred taels."
After speaking, a greedy look flashed in the old man's eyes.
He has heard that this lucky lady is always rich! If he doesn't take this opportunity to pluck up a handful of wool, he will be sick to death!
Chu Yingying could only sneer when she heard this, but she did not say any words of blame. She directly held up her hands and said: "Since the patriarch cherishes this land so much, we will not force others to make things difficult for us. Farewell!"
He really raised the price from the ground up, what a shame!
Clan Chief Hou groaned, and even lowered his face to stop Chu Yingying and the two of them, and shouted hurriedly: "Mrs. Fortune, don't leave yet, we can still negotiate the price, right?"
"Since you are not selling with integrity, why should I force others to make things difficult for you?"
In such a big Xinhe Town, couldn’t she find a suitable place besides here?
What a joke!
Clan Chief Hou stopped the person with a smile, and a glint flashed in his eyes: "I dare say that there is no more suitable place than ours. These five hundred taels are a bit expensive for ordinary people, but For a lucky lady, it’s not expensive at all!”
It was only after he had grasped this that he dared to be confident.
Jing Bu snorted coldly when he heard this: "So you're here to watch the food being served? Ah Ying, let's go."
"Okay."
Chu Yingying was too lazy to talk nonsense and left directly.
This time, Patriarch Hou did not stop him. He was sure that he would still have to come to him in two days. After all, there was no place in Xinhe Town that was more suitable than theirs.
After coming out of Patriarch Hou's house, many villagers from the village gathered around and asked excitedly.
"Mrs. Fortune, when will our jam shop start?"
"Yes, if we build it now, all of us can help, so hurry up and build it!"
Everyone feels happy when they think of being able to enter a jam shop to earn money for their family.
The work is light, clean, not tiring, and it’s close to home, and the rewards are generous. Who wouldn’t be happy about this?
Some daughters-in-law don’t even want to go by themselves. They just want their daughters to go so that they can save some money to make a dowry for themselves.
There is no other way. My family is poor, so it would be good for my daughter to have more dignity when she gets married.
Everyone is asking questions, all looking forward to the future.
Chu Yingying and Jing Bu stopped, and the people around them also stopped.
An old lady tremblingly took out a bag of wilted sweet potatoes, and handed it over with some embarrassment: "Good luck, my mother-in-law doesn't have any good things, but these wilted sweet potatoes were dried last year, and my mother-in-law made them dry." The wilted sweet potatoes are so delicious, I’ve saved them for you.”
Chu Yingying took it and felt that it was a heavy thought, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
She said a few words of thanks to her mother-in-law, and then said to the villagers: "I'm really sorry, everyone. This jam shop may not be built here. But when the jam shop is built, it will still be called people in our village. Go to work."
"Why?"
"Yes, isn't that a good thing to say?"
Chu Yingying pursed her lips and lowered her head in embarrassment: "Clan Chief Hou said that the place would be sold for five hundred taels of silver, and everyone knows how much this place should be worth."
Everyone cheered!
She quickly answered, "Maybe it's because Patriarch Hou didn't want to part with her, but he was too embarrassed to refuse me directly, so he said that. So..."
"No, five hundred taels? Fortune, did you hear that correctly?"
Some villagers asked in disbelief.
They may not be able to earn five hundred taels of silver in their lifetime. The place is not small, but the soil is not good, so it cannot be sold for much money at all.
Fifty taels is almost enough!
Chu Yingying sighed, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Patriarch Hou."
The excited villagers couldn't help but go to the patriarch to argue.
Chu Yingying's eyes flashed, and she felt that being a white lotus was sometimes very enjoyable.
"Well, I won't delay everyone. Abu and I are eager to go to other places to see if there are any suitable ones."
"No, Fuyun, don't leave. Let's go talk to the clan leader."
"Yes, wait a minute, the price will definitely not be so high."
A few more people in the crowd left to look for the clan leader.
The Hou clan chief patiently explained to the visitor: "How much money do you earn for working in a day? If we sell her 500 taels and the people in our village share it equally, then each of us will still get a lot of money. !"
"But Lady Fortune is going to look elsewhere now!"
The man who came here was a little hesitant~IndoMTL.com~ Indeed, there is no way to make money faster than working.
Clan Chief Hou stroked his goatee with confidence, "Don't worry, she can't find a more suitable place than ours!"
"Patriarch, isn't this bad? We have benefited from Lady Fortune, so how can we plot against her? That piece of land is not worth the money at all."
"If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth! Besides, five hundred taels is the same thing to Mrs. Fortune and ten taels of silver to us! What are you worrying about?"
In the end, the people who came were persuaded by Patriarch Hou, but they didn’t have the shame to tell Mrs. Fortune, so they all sneaked away, leaving Chu Yingying alone.
Chu Yingying didn't notice it at first, but as time passed slowly, why didn't Chu Yingying understand?
A sneer appeared on her lips, and she said to her mother-in-law who stayed beside her: "Mother-in-law, thank you for the wilted sweet potatoes. We were anxious to see somewhere else, so we left first."
"Okay, okay, slow down."
After Chu Yingying and the two were sent away, the old woman changed her face, turned a corner, looked at the people gathered there, and cursed bitterly: "People are too greedy because of their insufficiency. You will lose more than you gain!"
Without asking, she knew that these people must have been convinced by Patriarch Hou.
"Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about this. When the time comes, our village will divide the five hundred taels equally and we can still get a lot of money!"
"Even if I go begging for such unintentional money, I won't take it! Do you think that this is the only way for people's good fortune? What a joke!"
My mother-in-law bent over and walked away slowly.
The vicissitudes of life are all in my eyes.
Sigh.
They are still too young, just wait, there will come a time when they will regret it.
