Chapter 573: Buying Land (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

According to the current situation, it was impossible for the two families to occupy their house without spending a single cent.

Now, it was up to First Uncle Lin’s family to see if they were willing to buy the house for 30 taels of silver.

The house was estimated to be worth about 30 taels of silver, so the price was fair.

However, they had previously agreed that if they bought the house, they would have to compensate the other with 5 taels of silver.

In addition, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife had asked for an additional tael of silver.

With this additional cost, the house was not a bargain.

As expected, Jiang Shi hesitated.

Lin Dazhuang, Lin Erzhuang, and Lin Daya looked at their mother anxiously.

Then, Jiang Shi quickly looked at First Uncle Lin.

At this moment, he was frowning.

He didn’t expect Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife to be so difficult to deal with.

“Let us discuss this matter.”

Then, First Uncle Lin’s family gathered together again.

They started discussing.

Dazhuang Lin, Erzhuang Lin, and Lin Daya all wanted their parents to buy a four-bedroom house. Even though the price was higher than they had expected, they did not want to give up.

First Uncle Lin and Jiang Shi looked troubled.

If they spent so much money all at once, their family’s assets would be emptied.

After some discussion, they finally walked over to the second branch.

He discussed it with his brother and Deng Shi.

Although they had lowered their voices, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife could still vaguely hear some of it.

It turned out that when Jiang Shi heard that she was unwilling to sell the house at a low price, they proposed to Second Uncle Lin’s family to reduce the compensation by half.

Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife listened carefully and found out that the two families had indeed colluded before. Moreover, First Uncle Lin’s family had promised to give the others a total of 5 taels of silver.

Now that they requested to reduce the compensation by half, the others naturally refused.

However, Jiang Shi was not easy to talk to, so she simply proposed that they bid for the house as well.

First Uncle Lin’s family said that they would only bid 32 taels of silver at most. If the other family exceeded this amount, they would not compete with them.

Second Uncle Lin and his wife were very angry, but they did not have 30 taels of silver.

If they offended the others, they would not have the strength to compete with them. At that time, not only would First Uncle Lin’s family get the house with 30 taels of silver, but they would also not have to give them a single cent.

At the thought of this, Second Uncle Lin finally agreed.

Jiang Shi felt at ease.

Then, she asked her husband to tell them their decision.

“We’ll buy the house at 30 silver taels.”

As soon as he said this, the children heaved a sigh of relief.

They could finally have their own rooms.

Lin Dashan and Lin Xiaoshan were a little jealous. At the same time, they looked at their parents with anger.

When they looked at Deng Shi, the anger in the eyes of the two brothers was barely concealed.

If their mother hadn’t handed over the money to their aunt, perhaps the house would have belonged to them now.

This way, the two brothers could have their own rooms.

Deng Shi lowered her head, trying to hide her presence.

As for Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife, the huge stone in her heart had finally been lifted.

The transaction price of the house was lower than she had expected, but this was already the best result at the moment.

Would she really borrow money from Zhou Shi?

Of course not. Because she didn’t want the good impression she left on Zhou Shi to be ruined because of this matter.

If they didn’t borrow money, they wouldn’t have enough money to build a house.

Therefore, it was fine if the price was lower.

If they sold the house and moved out of the Lin family’s mansion, there would be fewer problems.

“And an extra 1 tael.” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife said in a deep voice.

The house was already sold at a low price, so she would not give in.

Moreover, they still had to pay the rent for the first house. She wouldn’t fork out extra money.

Jiang Shi frowned. She was about to say something when her husband stopped her.

“Deal!”

At this point, First Uncle Lin was also afraid of provoking Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.

He was worried that because of this 1 tael of silver, she would ruin the plan..
