Chapter 678: 678 Drink saliva

Xiao Yishan said, “Their paddy field can only be sold for at most thirteen taels. Any more than that would definitely be impossible. Thirteen taels are not cheap even if they’re in a rush to sell.”

Liang Zhenghong drank some water from his bowl and put it on the ground next to his chair, “It’s not cheap when they’re in a hurry to sell. Why don’t you go talk to Er Gouzi’s family and negotiate? I am just passing the message for you. If the price can be agreed upon, we can go to my house together, and then we can set a time to go to the town’s government office to process the transfer.”

“Alright.”

“Why haven’t I seen Chuan around?” Liang Zhenghong looked around in the yard.

“My third brother went up the mountain to cut bamboo.”

“Not bad.” Liang Zhenghong nodded, “It’s good for young people to be hardworking and willing to work. Well, I don’t have anything else, so I’ll be going.”

Xiao Yishan stood up to see him off, “Take care.”

After sending off Village Chief Liang, Xiao Yuchuan came back carrying a large bundle of bamboo.

Qingyue took a glance, the bundle of bamboo was almost as big as what two people would usually carry.

“Hehe, I just came back, and my wife is already staring at me.” Xiao Yuchuan gave her a sunshiny smile, “Wife, do you miss me that much? When I go up the mountain tomorrow, I’ll strap you to my belt and take you with me.”

She gave him a sharp glance, “I just thought that since you eat so much, at least you have the strength to make up for it. Not like you’re eating for free.”

With a smack, he dropped the large bundle of bamboo in the yard and wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Don’t underestimate me just because I’m not as strong as my second brother. I eat the same amount as him, but my strength is not less than his…”

She reminded him, “I don’t know who it was who was so weak they had to crawl.”

He scratched his head awkwardly, “I was poisoned. It’s all because of my handsome face, which attracted an old witch. If I had known, I would’ve asked my Mom not to give birth to such a good-looking me.”

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Can you be less narcissistic?”

“I don’t want to, either.” He said, somewhat distressed, “Whenever I go out, villagers would always say, ‘Chuan, you’re getting more and more handsome’… I’m going to the kitchen to have a drink of water, wash my face with cold water, and then come back and chat with my wife. Otherwise, I’ll be so thirsty I’ll want to drink your saliva.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Get out of here!” Talking with this kind of person doesn’t even make her angry.

He strode over, and soon he came out of the kitchen. After washing his face, he looked much more refreshed.

Xiao Yishan told him about Village Chief Liang’s visit, and he thought for a moment before saying, “Second brother, how about we go to Er Gouzi’s house together later and negotiate a suitable price?”

“Alright.”

Yuchuan asked Su Qingyue, “Wife, how much do you think we should pay for the field?”

She also knew that they wouldn’t be willing to sell for a too low price, “Twelve taels of silver per acre should be enough to get it easily. They have ten acres, and we can buy them all.”

“Land is the lifeblood of a farmer. I think that price is almost right.” Xiao Yuchuan hesitated, “My dear, once we buy those ten acres, we’ll have spent one hundred and twenty taels…”

“Money can be earned again.” She said with a smile, “Once we buy the ten acres of paddy fields, our family won’t have to worry about not having rice to eat anymore.”

“That’s true.” Yuchuan gazed at her passionately, and she looked away feeling uncomfortable.

Seeing the two of them flirting, both Yishan and Qinghe felt unhappy.

“We should hurry up, Chuan. Let’s go to Er Gouzi’s house first. In case someone else wants to buy, we’d better act fast.” Xiao Yishan’s voice was cold.

“Let’s go then.”
