Chapter 244: Richer than They Imagined However, just talking to these few families may not be enough. Their wish is for their descendants to prosper, and they are afraid that selling the altar will bring disaster to their descendants. The villagers seem to hope that their descendants will live a good life rather than making a fortune themselves. This is a really simple idea. Cheng Ming could understand that the older generation had more stubborn and backward ideas. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he could come up with a way to address the villagers' concerns. "Boss Cheng, what should we do now?" Ergou asked while pouring tea for Cheng Ming. Things were more complicated than he had imagined. I originally thought that after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, most of the villagers would be willing to sell. After all, no matter how good they are, they are just a few pieces of wood. But the villagers' stubbornness was somewhat beyond his expectations. "I really didn't expect that my third uncle would be so stubborn!" "And my aunt too!"
"You helped him, but not only did he not feel grateful, he even scolded us! How ungrateful!" Ergou complains about his third uncle. Cheng Ming shook his head helplessly. Now it seems that their first choice of Ergou's third uncle's family was a wrong one. Now the whole village is angry, and it has become more difficult to get the sacred tree from their family. The two were silent for a while. Cheng Ming said: "Let's go talk to your sixth uncle first." "Boss Cheng, have you thought of a solution?" Ergou asked. "It's not really a solution, but just a new proposal. I believe the villagers will be interested in it," said Cheng Ming. "New plan?" Ergou was stunned. Isn’t the altar priced at one hundred thousand yuan? Ergou suddenly thought of something and felt a little embarrassed. "Boss Cheng, that's what you just mentioned at my uncle's house." As soon as Cheng Ming saw his expression, he knew what he wanted to ask. "You said the price, right?" "Yes, yes, you said it." "One hundred and fifty thousand." "Yes, 150,000 because you told me before" "Don't worry, Ergou, when the deal is done, the price for the whole village will be the same, and I will give you a reward after the deal is done." Hearing this, Ergou smiled. But he was still very curious.
What solution did Cheng Ming come up with? He seemed more confident than before. "Boss Cheng, what solution have you come up with?" Cheng Ming did not say it directly. "Let's go, let's go to your sixth uncle's house and talk first, then you'll know." Although he disliked the Riddler a little, Ergou liked Cheng Ming more and more when he thought that the boss in front of him was willing to pay hundreds of thousands for a table from his house. The two of them went out immediately and came to Ergou's sixth uncle's house. Ergou knocks on the door. A middle-aged man with a thin face opened the door. When he saw Ergou and Cheng Ming, he showed a complicated expression. "What are you two doing here? Ergou, didn't your uncle tell you that the sacred tree in our village cannot be sold? Our descendants will suffer!" "That's just superstition," Ergou said. He was not well educated, but his thoughts were quite mainstream. "Your uncle is the village chief. He said that this is unfilial. How can you be worthy of your ancestors by selling the sacred tree?" Uncle Six said again. "The sacred tree has only been growing for twenty or thirty years, right? What does it have to do with our ancestors?" Ergou said. Sixth Uncle had a complicated expression. Ergou saw the hesitation in his eyes and knew that he actually had some thoughts, so he urged him, "Sixth Uncle, Boss Cheng and I just want to talk to you. As for whether to sell it or not, it's entirely up to you. Anyway, you don't have anything to do, so it's okay to listen, right?" "Besides, the people in Huangwu Village are always hospitable. Even if a stranger comes, we will treat him with good wine and good food. You won't even let him in, right?" Ergouzi is good at talking. After hearing these words, his sixth uncle opened the door and let the two in. There was a woman sitting on the sofa in the living room, probably my sixth uncle's wife. As soon as Ergou and Cheng Ming arrived, the old woman poured tea for them and greeted them with a smile. I feel that the old lady is easier to talk to than her husband. "Sixth Uncle, is Seventh Brother doing well in school?" Ergouzi spoke first. Seeing that he didn't mention the sacred tree, Uncle Six's expression eased slightly. "Not bad, this kid is pretty good. He called me a while ago and said he got a national scholarship." Speaking of this, a hint of pride appeared on Uncle Six's face. "Great!" Er Gouzi gave a thumbs up. "Seventh brother is really a good student. Unlike me, I couldn't continue my studies after graduating from junior high school. But, it seems that Seventh brother is studying art? Even if he gets a scholarship, it shouldn't be enough for tuition, right?" Er Gouzi showed a worried look on his face. "That's right!" Sixth Aunt, who had been listening nearby, said, "The national scholarship is 8,000 yuan, but his own tuition is more than 20,000 yuan! Besides, your fifth brother hasn't married yet, and your thirteenth sister also needs money in high school. Your sixth uncle is so worried that he can't sleep every day!" Uncle Six glared at his wife, but said nothing. He just lit a cigarette silently.
"So, Sixth Uncle, why are you joining my Third Uncle in all that fun? Boss Cheng is here to look for Shenmu, and the price he offers is sincere enough, so why don't you agree?" "The sacred tree is there to bless our descendants. If we sell it, what will happen to our children and grandchildren in the future?" Uncle Six expressed his concerns. "What if they can't live well in the future? Will they blame me as their father?" Er Gouzi laughed and said, "Uncle Six, change your mind. My seventh brother is studying art, and my thirteenth sister's grades are pretty good too. Isn't that considered prosperous? Your family is already doing well. How much more prosperous do you want it to be?" "One more thing, Fifth Brother is now of marriageable age. If he finds a girl from an area that requires a high bride price, has your family prepared a motorhome and 300,000 yuan in bride price for him?" Uncle Six and Aunt Six looked at each other, and Aunt Six sighed, "Where is the money?" "There has been little work on the construction site in the past two years, and your sixth uncle's money is just enough to cover the family expenses. Your seventh brother has to work part-time at school to earn a living!" "That's right!" Ergou said, "Uncle Six, if you don't accept this money, my fifth brother won't even have descendants. How can he prosper?" Er Gouzi's words were a bit sharp. But what he said was true, and his sixth uncle and aunt fell silent. After a long while, his sixth uncle said worriedly, "The other brothers in the village don't agree. If I agree, won't the villagers break my spine? How can I still live in the village?" "Moreover, this 150,000 yuan is probably not enough for your fifth brother to get married. If he can't get married, he will be disliked by the villagers. Wouldn't that make him a nobody?" Cheng Ming, who was standing by, knew it all. I still think the price is not ideal enough. He said, "Old man, let's put it this way. I am willing to offer two hundred thousand for each altar!" As soon as Cheng Ming's words came out, a hint of shock and surprise flashed in the eyes of his sixth uncle and sixth aunt. Two hundred thousand! This is not a small sum of money! We just chatted for a few minutes and the price was raised to 50,000? This boss is much richer than they thought. (End of this chapter)
