Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 174 Buying a House

The old man lay on the chair, looked up at the sky, took a puff of cigarette, and let himself breathe.

Bai Yunsong saw that his father was really upset, so he stopped holding it.
"Father, I went to town today and met Squire Ma. Guess what he told me?"

"Hmph, that old rich landlord who eats people and doesn't spit out his bones, besides asking people for debts and coaxing them into borrowing money, what good can you do if you meet him?"

The old patriarch curled his lips in disdain, if it wasn't for that money-greedy old thing, Yunxi girl wouldn't have been thrown into the shack to live a wronged life.

Bai Yunsong rubbed his hands, his eyes were full of excitement, he almost trotted all the way back when he heard the news.

"Father, I was going to town today, and I happened to meet Squire Ma. He stopped his son and asked if I wanted to buy a house?"

Speaking of this, Bai Yunsong paused for a moment, wanting to see his father's expression. Sure enough, the old man turned his head around, and the whole family's eyes were fixed on him.

"Isn't the courtyard of my cousin's house in debt? Squire Ma just broke up with the buyer, and just happened to meet me and asked me if I want it? The price is fair, 35 pennies."

As soon as Bai Yunsong said this, the old patriarch was taken aback, thinking that the house of the fourth brother's house, the green brick and tile house, was one of the best courtyards in the village.

"Hmph, Squire Ma just met you? Is there such a coincidence? Isn't there something tricky?"

That kind of person has no good intentions except money.

"Father, this is really a coincidence. Squire Ma's conversation with that man collapsed, and his hair was blown out of anger. I happened to pass by and was stopped."

As Bai Yunhui said, he spread his hands,
"Squire Ma said, anyway, it's the house of our Bai family. If I want it, it can be regarded as a field that does not flow to outsiders."

The old patriarch frowned and looked at him. Yunxi and his wife mortgaged thirty pennies and added five pennies after changing hands.

The houses in the village are rarely bought by outsiders. Unless they meet someone who needs to move, the best way to deal with it is to sell it to the villagers.

It's just that he didn't expect that Landlord Ma would pay attention to his son.

"Are you sure you haven't been tricked by someone? How can there be such a coincidence?"

Hearing his father's questioning tone, Bai Yunsong immediately shook his head in denial.

"Father, I don't believe this either. When I was hesitating, the buyer who had gone away came back and said that he was willing to pay 38 pennies. Everyone will take a step back, otherwise it will be worthless if you lose a penny."

"Squire Ma was enraged by that man, and killed forty pennies in one bite, and refused to sell any less. When the two were in a stalemate, Manager Zhao next to me pushed me and told me in a low voice that the buyer was from the town next door. Yes, because the two brothers had a quarrel and were going to separate and live together, so they came to settle here for the sake of keeping out of sight and out of mind."

"I think the house of my cousin's house is really good, and it won't be a loss to buy it. Besides, our children have grown up, and the children and grandchildren live together, so it's really crowded. The son came back to discuss with his father."

Listening to his son's narration, the old patriarch didn't speak, squinted his eyes and stuffed shredded tobacco into the pipe and pot, and took out a stick to press the shredded tobacco firmly. His movements were slow, and Bai Yun was in a hurry.

But he knew that usually at this time, his father was thinking and could not be disturbed.

Mrs. Zheng, who had never dared to intervene, listened to her man's narration and thought of Baiyunxi's house, her eyes sparkled, and she secretly moved to her man's side.
