Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 212 The Su He Family Buys the Manor

Su He thought it would be better to buy a farm outside Fengyu City and put the noodle workshop there, so that it could avoid the detection of those in the city. They probably let those who were interested know about it now, so it was better to make preparations early.

Su He was lucky enough to still have memories of her past life in this life, so her luck was not too bad. Her prediction was correct, allowing them to successfully avoid those who had ulterior motives.

Su He followed her father to the brokerage to find Qin Gang to buy a farm. After discussing, they decided that this was the safest way. This time, Qin Gang just came back from outside, and Su He's father told him about his plan to buy a small farm. Qin Gang found the records and helped them find two farms. The location was not far from the city, and the three of them went out of the city to look at farms.

Su He's father drove the mule cart to take them out of the city, and Qin Gang sat on the other side of the cart to show Su He's father the way. Once out of the city, they walked along a main road for a quarter of an hour, turned onto a small road, and walked for less than a quarter of an hour before arriving at a small village.

This farm has about ten acres of land, a dozen houses, and the fields are planted with seasonal crops. An elderly head of the farm, Wang, has been here for more than 30 years. The seller's only request is to leave the people here and give them a way to survive. Su He heard that the owner was quite friendly, which meant that the people in this farm had no major problems and could accept it.

Then he went to see the next one, which was a little further away and took another half an hour. This farm had an area of ​​nearly 20 mu. The head of the farm was a middle-aged man with triangular eyes. He spoke respectfully, but the restlessness in his eyes made Su He very uncomfortable. The people in this farm were dressed in rags, and all of them were skinny and listless. Su He felt uncomfortable looking at this farm. Everything was not what he wanted. It was said that the owner was an official who was confiscated and sold for corruption and bribery. Su He did not want this farm because of its bad feng shui.

Seeing Su He frowning, Su He's father knew that she didn't like this manor. He also thought that the first manor was good. He could just recruit people there and buy fewer people. He would go back and talk to the manor head Wang to see what he was like. If he could be trusted, he wouldn't have to buy a housekeeper.

They just need to send someone they trust to deliver the goods. They came out and went back to the first manor with Qin Gang. At this time, they found out that the manor was located in Changjiazhuang. The owner of the manor was old and needed to find his son, so he sold the manor. Because the head of the manor and the people in the manor were all elderly people here, of course they didn't want to leave, so they planned to sell the manor together.

Qin Gang said that if the second manor was to be sold, anyone in the manor could sell it, and the head of the manor could just drive them away. Su He didn't think so. He knew that the man was not a good person, and his family didn't have any background. If he was schemed by him, who knows what would happen. For safety's sake, he decided not to buy that manor.

They followed Qin Gang to chat with Wang Zhuangtou in the manor and got a general understanding of the situation of the manor. They went to find the old couple who were the sellers and saw them packing up at home. It turned out that they were leaving in the next few days and the people who were picking them up had arrived. If the manor could not be sold, they would put it on the market first. They planned to go to the pawnshop to sign a power of attorney, and then sell it and let the pawnshop sell the manor and send the money to them.

Su He's father negotiated a price with them, and they went to the pawnshop together to complete the formalities, and then went to the government office together to exchange for a new land deed. In the end, they bought the farm for 250 taels of silver, which was 10 taels cheaper. Su He's father agreed to their request and treated the servants well. The old couple repeatedly said that Wang Zhuangtou was an honest man who had been conscientiously managing the farm for them. If he was not unwilling to leave, they would not have left him.
