Chapter 951 Price Increase in Place

The Mu family members were so excited when they heard this that they didn't even need Old Mu to come out by himself. They rushed into Old Mu's house and helped him out.

The eldest great-grandson of the Mu family hurried to pick him up: "Master, please hurry up."

He looked as if he was afraid that Mr. Mu would be too slow and the five thousand taels would fly away.

Erqing looked at them and was about to tell them, don't bother, they are here to invite Ancestor Mu today.

But before Master Mu could stand still, he said, "Little maid, go back and tell your master that the price of this house has gone up and it will cost you eight thousand taels."

Erqing sneered and said: "Mr. Mu, your old house can sway in a strong wind. If you want five thousand taels of silver, you already don't know the rules. Now you want eight thousand taels. You are treating us like fools." "

She didn't even enter the house. She stood at the gate and said, "I'm here today to invite Patriarch Mu as a guest. As for the house, if you want to sell it, you can sell it. If you don't, it will be demolished. Anyway, it's the Zhou family's house." We have already bought your house, let it be reserved for the fifth-generation great-grandson to live in."

If a great-grandson’s daughter-in-law doesn’t have money to marry, where can a fifth-generation great-grandson come from?

Erqing's temper was much better than that of Daqing, but he was also very angry at the Mu family. This was no longer just raising prices, but openly cutting flesh with a knife.

Mu Laozu is already eighty years old. Many people envy her for being able to live to this age, but now she is worse off than dead... The life of her family is worse than the last. When she married into the Mu family in the early years, The Mu family also has three shops and more than 100 acres of land in the countryside. It is considered a very good family in the north of the city.

But after the separation, the land in the countryside was given to the second wife, and her husband was the eldest brother, and got the house and shop in the city.

The second roommate didn't want to go back to the countryside and wanted to trade the land with them for a shop in Fucheng, but her man didn't agree and it was a quarrel for a while.

Her man also said harsh words at that time: "Young man, please listen to me. No matter how down-trodden my family is, they are still from Fucheng. It's not like you want to go back to the countryside to farm!"

But now her family can no longer afford to live in this city, and their life is not as good as that of a second-bedroom family in the countryside. Her great-great-grandson can help work in the fields, and her eldest grandson has not even married a wife.

Old Ancestor Mu became more and more sad as he thought about it. He wiped away his tears and listened to his third grandson's daughter-in-law talking about what happened in the yard in front. He said, "Third grandson's daughter-in-law, go tell the maid and tell her to wait while I clean up and follow her." .”

After hearing this, the third granddaughter-in-law of the Mu family was extremely happy: "Hey, grandson-daughter-in-law will go and tell you now."

Just after running out for a few steps, he turned around and told Patriarch Mu: "Grandma, you can't let go and give them too much money. The price will have to be increased. This is a major matter related to your great-grandchildren's marriage. If it doesn't increase, Price, the money is not enough!"

After hearing this, Patriarch Mu became even more sad. Everyone said that she was blessed to have many children and grandchildren, but this blessing was so destructive that her twenty great-grandchildren completely emptied the Mu family.

Patriarch Mu didn't have time to cry now. After wiping away his tears, he asked his fourth grandson's wife to change into unpatched clothes, comb his hair again, and followed Erqing to Gu's house.

Mr. Mu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Erqing: "If you go, don't talk about this matter."

Er Qing just made harsh words, and Old Master Mu didn't dare to pester him anymore, but he still asked the great-great-grandson of the Mu family to follow him.

Erqing sneered, but still disagreed.

The great-great-grandson of the Mu family, who almost goes crazy for his wife, can he be allowed to enter the Gu family? Stop dreaming!

"You can go with two women at most." Er Qing said.

The Mu family refused, but Patriarch Mu said: "Just let the fourth grandson's daughter-in-law go with her, and the others stay at home."

The third granddaughter-in-law of the Mu family became anxious and said, "Grandma, you can stay with two other women. Granddaughter-in-law, please follow me and take care of you, so that you won't be deceived all the time."

Erqing smiled. She could say this. If Patriarch Mu agreed to her going, there would be no need to talk about it.

Fortunately, Patriarch Mu did not agree and took his fourth granddaughter-in-law away in the Gu family's mule cart. This made the other Mu family members very angry. They shouted from behind the mule cart: "Grandma, please remember to raise the price." !”

…

When Gu Jinli heard that Patriarch Mu was coming, he went to the corner gate to greet her. He saw that she was not only severely hunched, but also very thin. She looked like she had not had enough to eat for many years. She also had cataracts and a layer of white skin covering her eyes. Almost blind.

She knew that this person was living a difficult life, so she was kind to Mu Laozu and asked Xiao Ji to go to the kitchen to make some soft minced meat and egg custard. She also made a large bowl of meat noodles and brought them to Mu Laozu. Eating with the fourth grandson-in-law of the Mu family.

After they had eaten enough, they said: "Grandma Mu, I don't need to say anything about your family's situation. There is no way to make a living. A family of dozens of people living in Fucheng is a dead end. The only way out is to go back to the countryside." ,restart."

If the Mu family still had a shop in Fucheng, she would never say such a thing, but the three shops of the Mu family have long since disappeared, and there is no farmland. They only work as small laborers in Fucheng, and there are so many grandchildren who want to marry. It was impossible to survive that day.

"How old your house is, I don't need to say much. I will not lower the price of your house. I will give you three thousand taels of silver at a fixed price."

If it were Old Master Mu, Gu Jinli wouldn't even want to give him a thousand taels of silver, but after seeing Old Ancestor Mu, she was willing to give him three thousand taels of silver.

Gu Jinli added: "The paddy fields in your hometown are cheaper than here. You can buy one acre for eight taels of silver. Each of your twenty great-grandsons can buy five acres of paddy fields and ten acres of dry land to build a farm." For a house and a wife, two thousand five hundred taels is enough. The remaining five hundred taels can be divided and given them some money. If they are really capable and use this little family wealth to work hard for a generation, maybe they can Move back to Fucheng.”

Gu Jinli had calculated this account. Except for paddy fields, which were expensive, everything else was very cheap in the countryside.

A house only costs thirty taels, and a wife usually costs around ten taels. Dry land is even cheaper. Two thousand five hundred taels of silver is more than enough to house the Mu family's twenty great-grandsons.

Mu Laozu came here just because he wanted to sell the house. After listening to Gu Jinli's words, he asked his fourth grandson's daughter-in-law to settle the accounts one by one. If he really could settle twenty great-grandchildren, he cried with joy and groped for hold of Gu Jinli's hand. He held his hand and said, "Little girl, thank you, old lady. You saved the Mu family's life."

She was so worried about the future of her great-grandchildren that she almost hanged herself.

Gu Jinli smiled and said, "You are too serious. This is a win-win situation for us."

but……

"If you want to make this happen, you have to rely on you."

Patriarch Mu knew what Gu Jinli meant, so he promised: "Don't worry, little girl, no matter how much trouble they make, I will never let them go to their death again."

This is the only way for the Mu family to survive. Anyone who dares to stop her will be kicked out of the Mu family.

Anyway, she holds the deed to the house.

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Old Ancestor Mu could not wait for a moment. After returning home, he ignored the encirclement of his son, grandson and great-grandson. He went back to the house and found out the house deed and household registration that he had hidden. I went to the Fucheng Yamen and settled the affairs of the house with the Gu family.
