Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart Chapter 376: You Won’t Run Off With the Money, Right?

"Here’s a hundred taels." Shen Qinglan handed a silver note to Ah Xiang, "Tomorrow, I’ll bring soone to treat your mother."

Ah Xiang wasn’t surprised at all by Shen Qinglan’s generous offer of a hundred taels.

In her view, Shen Qinglan was a young lady ignorant of worldly hardships, the kind who never bothered with numbers when spending, so she accepted it without hesitation.

"To ensure your mother can recuperate well, I suggest you tidy up a secluded courtyard and settle her there," Shen Qinglan said. "A short move should be doable, right?"

Ah Xiang nodded, "Yes, it can be done!"

"That’s good! I’ll co to find you tomorrow, and we can discuss anything else then."

Shen Qinglan teased her, "I trust you won’t abscond with the funds, right?"

Ah Xiang frowned, seriously saying, "My mother is here; I’m not going anywhere!"

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly and then called out to Duan Yunfei, "Ti to go!"

Duan Yunfei gently patted Little Nine’s head, whispered a few comforting words, and then stood up to leave with Shen Qinglan.

"I think I heard a child crying earlier. Could it be the ghost crying?"

Just as they exited the courtyard gate, the broker approached to inquire.

Shen Qinglan said, "I want this house. As for the ghost, I’ll find soone to deal with it. However, about the price of this courtyard..."

"The price is negotiable!" The broker was overjoyed. He glanced into the courtyard and said in a low voice, "Ladies and gentlen, please co back to discuss further!"

"Alright!" Shen Qinglan nodded.

Once back at the broker’s house, the broker confird, "The young lady truly wants to buy that house?"

"Of course!" Shen Qinglan said, "As long as the price is right, I’ll naturally buy it."

The broker poured tea for the two before saying, "Honestly, this estate was initially priced at ten thousand taels. However, due to the haunting, no one dares to live there, so the price has been reduced repeatedly. Now, the young lady only needs to pay three thousand taels."

"Three thousand taels?" Shen Qinglan frowned, "You want to pay three thousand taels for a haunted mansion?"

"This... can’t go any lower, young lady!" The broker said with difficulty, "How about you give a couple more days to discuss with the owner?"

"Hold on!"

Shen Qinglan leaned close to Duan Yunfei’s ear and asked softly, "Is three thousand taels worth it?"

Duan Yunfei also replied in a low voice, "The estates on that street are generally priced above ten thousand. Three thousand is practically a gift."

Shen Qinglan nodded, then pretended reluctantly, "Fine, fine, three thousand it is."

It’s better to buy it early; otherwise, if soone spots the flaw and renegotiates the price, wouldn’t I suffer a huge loss?

"Great!" The broker, hearing this, smiled broadly, "Then co here first thing tomorrow morning, and I’ll take the deed and go to the governnt with you to transfer the title."

Shen Qinglan thought for a mont, then asked, "Besides this mansion on Fugui Street, is there anything else left?"

"Nope!" The broker replied, "This is the last one. If it weren’t for the ghost issue, how could it still be available now?"

"What’s the alley near Fortune Alley?"

The broker asked suspiciously, "Miss, you’re not from the Capital?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "No, I’m not."

"No wonder!"

A light flashed in the broker’s eyes. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Duan Yunfei say, "The nearby one is Welco Alley."

"Uh..." The broker hesitated, "Sir, are you from the Capital?"

Duan Yunfei looked at him, smiling without answering.

The broker, feeling uneasy under his gaze, quickly coughed lightly and changed the topic, "Is the young lady thinking of buying a courtyard nearby?"
