Chapter 944: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 944: Lu Sanzhu Bargains
Ying Xi quickened her pace, distancing herself from Lu Sanzhu by more than ten meters by the time he had come up with a brilliant name and was about to speak.
He immediately became displeased. "Hey, little girl, I'm calling you. I am your Third Master. It's disrespectful of you to act this way. I..."
"Third Uncle, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, let's go inside and see the estate."
Lu Sanzhu fell silent immediately and hurriedly ran to Shu Yu's side. "Ah Yu, how is this place?"
Initially, he had been eagerly following Shu Yu, nodding from time to time to show his agreement and occasionally giving his opinion. But after three places that didn't meet their requirements, he lost interest.
"It's okay. Let's go and talk to the owner first."
As they spoke, Shu Yu and Da Niu had already arrived at the entrance of the estate.
A middle-aged couple stood guard at the estate, recognizing Da Niu from the day before and knowing that they had come to discuss buying the estate. They promptly invited them in.
Shu Yu soon met the owner of the estate, who turned out to be younger than she had expected, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
He saw Da Niu and immediately approached him. "Brother Lu, you're here. Did you find out if they're interested in buying?"
Da Niu stepped aside and introduced Shu Yu. "This is my cousin. She's the one interested in buying the estate. This is Master Jiang."
Master Jiang was taken aback when he saw Lu Sanzhu standing behind Da Niu. He had thought that the buyer was the person behind... the young lady who didn't seem very old?
Master Jiang furrowed his brows. Although he was eager to sell the estate, he still wanted to clarify things. "Miss Lu, what do you think of my estate? Are you planning to buy it?"
"I've already looked around just now, and I am indeed interested. I'm just wondering if Master Jiang has any specific requirements or a certain price in mind. If it's suitable, we can proceed; if not, I'll continue looking."
Seeing that she wasn't joking, Master Jiang pursed his lips and gestured a number with his hand.
"Eighteen hundred taels?" Shu Yu asked.
Lu Sanzhu, on the side, gasped. "That's too expensive."
Master Jiang immediately responded, "It's already quite cheap. The land around here amounts to over a hundred mu, and this estate alone has three to four mu. It was newly built just five years ago, so it looks very new. Eighteen hundred taels is a very fair price."
Lu Sanzhu inwardly clicked his tongue. Over a hundred mu of land?
Did Ah Yu need to buy so much?
But it was true that the house was indeed quite new. He had walked inside earlier and saw that it was spacious.
However, eighteen hundred taels was still very expensive. After all, the gold the Emperor rewarded Ah Yu with was worth only two thousand taels of silver. If she spent it all on buying an estate, would Ah Yu have any money left?
He had just borrowed two hundred taels from her. She wouldn't take it back before he even had the chance to spend it, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Sanzhu immediately felt a sense of urgency.
No, he had to haggle the price. At the very least, he needed to reduce it by two hundred taels.
Therefore, before Shu Yu could speak, Lu Sanzhu shook his head and said, "That's still too expensive. Look at the land you have; there's no crop growing there. It looks like barren land. In our village, one mu of prime farmland costs only twelve taels of silver, and even a hundred mu would only be one thousand two hundred."
Shu Yu couldn't help but glance at him. Well done, Third Uncle. Even though you're not known for reading many books, you're quite fast at calculating silver.
