Chapter 314: Selling the Shop
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“But Lu Hu is still the follower of Landlord Wang’s family’s Third Young Master. Although Landlord Wang’s family’s Third Young Master did not say anything, it’s hard to guarantee that Lu Hu will slander us and say that we’ve exposed. That’s the same as slapping the Wang Family’s Third Young Master’s face.”
“I’m afraid there will be endless trouble.”
“I’ve already reached the age to get married, and I don’t want Jiao’er to suffer with me, so I thought of going to Yun Chuan County next door. Over there, I can buy a shop and continue living. Plus. Yun Chuan County is also close to
Mountain Village,” Wang Chuan said blun tly without hiding anything. “But don’t worry, Sister-in-law. The matter with Lu Hu has been resolved. He has even returned the silver to us. There won’t be any trouble with this shop.” Ye Muyu glanced at Wang Chuan and did not speak for a long time.
However, Wang Chuan misunderstood her meaning. Although it was a little embarrassing, he still told her the truth with a red face. “I’m worried that my father will be schemed against by Lu Hu again in the county. He’s not in good health and can’t take it.”
Ye Muyu knew that he had misunderstood her, but she did not explain.
Speaking of which, there was nothing wrong with Wang Chuan’s consideration.
Lu Hu was a gambler, and a gambler could do anything.
It was indeed a problem for ordinary people.
It was considered very courageous that they were willing to give up their home and a shop that they had been running for a long time. After all, the ancients valued the return of the fallen leaves to their roots, while Wang Chuan clearly cared more about his family.
If Ye Muyu had to choose, she would have chosen the same.
“How big is your shop and how much silver do you need? Just tell us the normal price. There’s no need to deliberately make it cheaper. I can find out.” Ye Muyu had wanted to buy a shop, and now that a shop had come knocking on his door, she was naturally willing to buy it.
Wang Chuan had wanted to use the shop to repay their kindness, but Ye Muyu had stopped him. He could not say the price he had prepared earlier because it was much lower than the market price.
“Sister-in-law, the market price of my shop is fifty taels. If you want it, just give me forty-five taels. There is some furniture in the shop. If Sister-in-law likes it, just take it.” Wang Chuan could tell that Ye Muyu had the intention to buy the shop, so he decisively quoted the market price. After all, he felt that being honest was better than pretending to be polite and refusing.
He was not lying about the price.
This time, Ye Muyu did not stand on ceremony. The price advertised outside was usually negotiable. If Wang Chuan was willing to lower the price by five taels, she would naturally accept it. “Alright, I’ll buy it at this price. You don’t have to keep the items in the shop. You can use them even if you go to Yun
Chuan County.”
Although she did not say it explicitly, he knew that Wang Chuan wanted to repay her kindness with the furniture by selling the house.
Although she had never seen the furniture in the Wang family’s shop, she knew that it was definitely valuable. Otherwise, with Wang Chuan’s personality, he would not have said such a thing.
The facts proved that Ye Muyu was a good judge of character, and his guess was not wrong.
“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to be so polite. Those furniture are actually old.” What he did not say was that although they were all old, they were some yellow rosewood of excellent quality.
In Great Chu, the yellow rosewood was very popular in the palace. Usually, it was used as a tribute. However, Nanchang County was located in the Jiangnan area, and one could see it from time to time. However, it was basically bought by rich families. There were very few sold to the public.
This set of furniture in Wang Chuan’s house was left behind by his grandfather in his later years. It was considered an extremely valuable treasure. The fact that he could say that he was giving it to Chu Heng was because he was truly grateful for Chu Heng’s help this time.
“It’s more sentimental when it’s old.. I can’t take away what others love, right?”
