Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

"This house is in a good location. It can be lived in after a little renovation."

Aunt Zhao introduced the room with a smile on her face. As the door opened, a damp and musty smell hit her in the face. There were several old pieces of furniture in the room, and the wear and tear on the tables and chairs were clearly visible.

Ran He asked with concern: "Are you the landlord?"

Aunt Zhao nodded with a smile, "Yes, the title deeds are complete and the formalities are all handled legally."

"How much does Aunt Zhao plan to sell it for?"

Ran He asked, with a hint of caution in his tone.

Aunt Zhao's smile was slightly awkward. "One hundred taels of silver."

Wu Xu frowned upon hearing this, looked at the woman in front of him, and said in confusion: "Aunt, you said thirty taels of silver before, how come it suddenly changed to one hundred taels? Isn't this a huge difference?"

Aunt Zhao looked embarrassed and explained, "Sister Yu, this matter is also difficult for me. This house is not my personal decision. It is actually the inheritance of my brother-in-law. He left it to us three brothers after his death. Our family is willing to sell it for thirty taels, but the other two families insist on one hundred taels."

Lin Yu interrupted, "Thirty taels is already too high, and one hundred taels is too much. With this money, you can buy a piece of land somewhere else and build a brick house. Why are you so obsessed with this place?"

Aunt Zhao waved her hand and tried to persuade him: "Sister, you are wrong to think so. Building a house is a big project, which is time-consuming and laborious. Besides, where else can such a good location be vacant in the village? The most important thing is that this house has excellent Feng Shui. My brother-in-law failed the imperial examination many times before, but since he moved here, he has had good luck and has now entered the capital. A Feng Shui master came to see it and said that this is a rare auspicious place, which is particularly conducive to the prosperity of the family, especially for scholars. Sister Yu wants to run a private school, right? If the private school is opened here, and the students are admitted to high school in the future, the teacher's reputation will naturally spread. At that time, there will be a steady stream of students, which is really a good thing for fame and fortune."

Although Ran He was not sure about the authenticity of her brother-in-law's story, she had to admit that Aunt Zhao's words sounded reasonable. Every word was very practical and seemed to be irresistible.

Aunt Zhao continued, "Now that I think about it, one hundred taels is not too much. At first, none of our three families wanted to sell it, but when we heard that Sister Yu's husband was a teacher and wanted to open a school, we had room for negotiation. Otherwise, how could we bear to let go of such a good place?"

Wu Xu hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "One hundred taels of silver is indeed a bit high. I have to go back and discuss it with my husband. How about I give you an answer tomorrow?"

Her tone was calm and there was a hint of prudence between her brows, as if she was carefully calculating every branch of the family's expenditure.

Hearing this, Zhao smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Of course, of course. There's no rush."

After leaving the courtyard, dusk had quietly fallen. Ran He looked at the sunset glow gradually dyeing the horizon and asked Wu Xu softly: "If it is really what you like, you can negotiate the price. Maybe there is still a chance."

Before he finished speaking, the tender little baby in Wu Xu's arms suddenly pouted and said in a childish but clearly audible voice: "It's not good there."

Wu Xu heard this, and a touch of tenderness and doting flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Oh, my clever little ghost, you and mother have the same idea. I also think that the place is not worth the price. The reason why I was attracted to it at first was just because of the convenient location and saving time and effort."

Lin Yu blinked, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She suggested, "Sister Wu Xu, why don't we build it ourselves?"

"But it may be difficult to find a homestead."

Wu Xu looked a little worried.

"Don't worry about this."

Ran He smiled gently and comforted him.

After careful consideration, Wu Xu finally made up his mind: "Okay, let's follow this plan and be self-reliant."

The four did not go straight home, but wandered around the village, trying to find an ideal place to build a private school and settle down.

As they walked, Wu Xu pointed to the foot of the mountain near the small village not far ahead. A quiet place came into view. "I think it's quite nice there."

It is a place backed by green mountains, with a small waterfall gurgling on one side. The sound of the water is clear and pleasant, and it gathers into a stream, passing around the village.

The vast farmlands around here are mostly bare rocky land, which is perfect for building houses. In addition, the environment is quiet and peaceful, making it seem like a paradise.

"It's really a wonderful place. After it's built, we can plant a bamboo forest behind the house. It will be so beautiful with the breeze blowing and the bamboo shadows dancing."

"That's right, that's right."

As they got closer, their joy and satisfaction were beyond words. They hit it off and made a decision immediately: Wu Xu would go back to reject Zhao, while Ran He would go to the village chief's house to discuss the land purchase.

After arriving at the village chief's house and explaining the purpose of our visit, the village chief, who was in high spirits, asked with great interest, "Which piece of land did Mrs. Wu take a fancy to?"

"It's on the left side of my house, near the foot of the mountain."

Wu Xu's answer was very clear.

"You mean the land at the head of the stream?"

The village chief's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yes, that area with the small waterfall."

Ran He nodded, confirming it.

Unexpectedly, the village chief frowned and said solemnly: "Mrs. Wu, I'm afraid you need to consider that piece of land differently."

"What's wrong with that land?"

Ran He's heart tightened and he asked quickly.

"That piece of land has long been sold to someone else, and the forest behind it was also bought several years ago."

The village chief spoke slowly.

"Village Chief, do you know who the buyer is?"

Ran He pursued relentlessly.

The village chief shook his head, looking somewhat helpless: "I don't know much about this matter. The buyer at that time was very generous. Not only the mountain, but also the surrounding fields were taken into his pocket."

Just when everyone was feeling a little disappointed, the village chief suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now, the person who bought that piece of land might be someone from the Wu family."

"what?"

Ran He looked stunned, obviously not expecting this turn of events.

The village chief smiled and explained, "The location of Wuzhuang was also purchased at that time. If you are curious, you can go home and ask the master at home and maybe you will know the truth."

Ran He smiled and nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Village Chief. I am sorry to bother you today."

Not long after leaving the village chief's house, he happened to meet Wu Xu who had returned from the Zhao family, and their eyes met.

"How about it?"

Wu Xu asked impatiently.

"The land has been bought."

There was a hint of heaviness in Ran He's tone.

When Wu Xu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Well, let's find another place."

Ran He chuckled: "I heard from the village chief that not only that piece of land, but even the mountain behind it seemed to have been purchased by the same person."

"oops!"

Wu Xu was surprised and couldn't help but guess, "Could it be that Chuan Zi Lian Shan was also bought?"

Ran He nodded and confirmed the guess. "It's probably him. He's so generous that he bought both the mountain and the land. We'll know when he comes back. If it's really our land, we can go to the city tomorrow to buy bricks and tiles, and customize furniture at the same time."
