Chapter 183
"No, no, two taels of silver is too much, and I didn't sell it when someone offered 130 nine taels." Old man Guo flatly refused.

"Grandpa Guo, I saw you looking sad. You must be worrying about the land sale. If someone offered 130 taels to buy it, you wouldn't be in such a hurry, would you?"

Compass opened his mouth and exposed Old Man Guo's lies.

The old man Guo was unhappy when he opened the door just now, but when the old man Zhang said he thought about it, he couldn't help being happy. Although it was only for a moment, he was caught by the compass.

Compass used to hang out at the pier, and was the best at observing words and demeanor, and he had already seen through the old man Guo's mind.

Besides, he really didn't believe that for those who were in such a hurry to sell the land, the buyer didn't bargain, and they didn't talk too much.

According to the meaning of the compass, I originally wanted to directly talk about five liang of silver, but old man Zhang and Father Hu were afraid of offending old man Guo, so they stopped selling the land to them, and finally made a compromise and talked about two liang of silver.

"you you……"

The lie was exposed, and the old man Guo became a little annoyed, and raised his hand to point to the compass.

"Grandpa Guo, my third brother is straightforward, don't be angry." Wei Shu answered quickly.

"We came here with money this time. We are very sincere. As long as you agree to save a few taels, we will go to the Yamen to go through the formalities immediately. We will sign the contract with one hand and hand over the money with the other. We promise not to mess around."

Wei Shu's words were so loud that people were convinced after listening to them.

"This……"

Hearing this, old man Guo fell into deep thought.

At first he sold it for 150 taels, and many people in the village came to ask, but after knowing the reason, they all waited and watched, waiting for him to lower the price. He had no choice but to lower it again and again.

When Old Man Zhang and Father Hu came this morning, he directly asked for 140 taels, hoping that these two people from other villages could buy it.

"Grandpa Guo, look..."

Fat Miao'er was about to speak when she was interrupted by a shout.

"Old Guo, if you don't pay back the money tomorrow, we can't guarantee the safety of your precious son."

With a bang, the door of Guo's upper room was kicked open, and two tall and thick men walked in.

"Don't mess around, or I will report to the police."

Old man Guo stood up and glared at the two strong men.

"Ouch! We are so scared!"

The two strong men shrank their necks and looked at old man Guo with ironic expressions.

"It's only natural to pay off debts, even if you sue to the Yamen, we won't be afraid."

"Besides, do you know which way the yamen gate opens?"

One of them said coldly.

"You, you... cough cough!"

Old man Guo coughed angrily.

Seeing this, Wei Shu quickly stood up and patted old man Guo on the back.

"Don't get excited, we're just talking, as long as you hand over the [-]-acre land deed to us, we'll release your son immediately, and you can collect enough money to redeem it, what do you want?" Another strong man asked road.

"dream!"

Old man Guo, who had just recovered, became excited again.

"I just don't want this son, and I won't take advantage of you bastards."

If they hadn't spread rumors in the village, his land wouldn't have been sold so hard.

"Okay, okay! You are really stubborn. Tomorrow is the deadline. Let's see how long you can last."

The strong man snorted coldly, turned and left.

After the two left, the old man Guo sat down on the kang, like a deflated ball.

"130 eight taels is 130 eight taels, I'll sell it."

The old man Guo gritted his teeth and agreed with the opinions of several people.

There's nothing he can do if he doesn't agree, he's really forced to go nowhere, is it possible that he really wants to bet the land to the gambling house, and it will be difficult to come back when the time comes, it's better to sell it and settle it.

Without the land, his prodigal son will not worry about it anymore, and he will gamble in the future... Do whatever you like!
The old man Guo simply smashed the jar.

I found a few well-known old people in the village to testify, and sold the land to Fat Miaoer and his party without hesitation.

After signing the contract, Fat Miao'er took off the purse from his waist and handed over the prepared 46 taels of silver.

Old man Zhang and Father Hu also took out their money.

"Grandpa Guo, this is 130 taels, a lot of money, count it."

The money was piled neatly into small piles and placed in front of old man Guo.

"Hey!" The old man Guo shook his head and sighed, his brows and eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, as if he had aged ten years.

"The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky, if we meet such an unfilial son, our Guo family..."

Old man Guo raised his hand, then dropped it slumped, the matter has come to an end, no amount of talking will help.

Fat Miao'er and the others looked at each other after listening, knowing his helplessness in their hearts.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and they don't want to participate. They said directly: "Grandpa Guo, we still have something to do, so let's go first."

"Farewell!"

Father Hu and old man Zhang cupped their hands at the same time.

After saying hello, the five left Guo's house one after the other.

At the gate of Guo's house, old man Zhang stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest.

"The Guo family's land is over there, let's go over and have a look, and get to know the way."

The old man and Hu's father had already seen the land they bought. Fat Miao'er, Wei Shu, Luo Pan and others followed their footsteps and came directly to Guo's house. They didn't know where the land was at the moment.

"Well! Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Hu, please lead the way..."

Wei Shu smiled slightly, pulled Fat Maoer and Compass behind the two elders.

On the road.

Recalling what happened in the Guo family, Old Man Zhang and Father Hu sighed as they walked.

He seemed to express his feelings: "The gambling house is not a good place. I really can't go there. If I'm not careful, my family will be ruined."

"Who said no!"

The old man Zhang nodded, his eyes showed the color of memory.

"Do you still remember Wang Ermazi in our village? Didn't he just go to the gambling house and owe money, and he tossed out the land and house of the family, and even stole the medicine money for my father and mother to gamble. "

"I remember that."

As soon as Old Man Zhang reminded him, Father Hu immediately remembered.

"He stole the money and pissed off his father, and his mother followed soon after."

"Later Lizheng found out about this and drove him out of the village. I don't know what's going on now, and no one trusts me."

"A person like that won't get better anywhere!"

Old man Zhang snorted mockingly.

"That's true."

Father Hu nodded in agreement.

Fat Miao'er followed behind, listening to the conversation between the two, gradually lowered her eyes, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Little fat meow, what's wrong?"

Seeing that she was silent and not quite the same as usual, Wei Shu asked this question.

"Hey!" Fat Miao'er frowned, sighed like a little adult, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm thinking about my second uncle."

"Ok?"

Wei Shu was puzzled and raised his eyebrows.

"I saw my second uncle come out of the casino a few years ago." Fat Miao'er said.

After her reminder, Wei Shu also remembered that Fat Miao'er had mentioned this at home, expressed concern about it, and reminded Zhou Laosan.

"I'm not afraid of him betting, I'm afraid he will hurt my father." Fat Miao'er pouted.
