Sun stood at the entrance calling out. While waiting for the owner to appear, he said sheepishly to the two of them, "To be honest, I don't really recommend this property. It's an old house, home to three brothers. Now that their mother has passed, the brothers want to split the inheritance. But they're all looking to squeeze a wealthy buyer, asking for a high price—a firm one hundred and twenty taels."
"One hundred and twenty taels? For this dump? That's highway robbery!"
Just as Xu Su Ying uttered these words, a man came sauntering into the yard.
The man wasn't short, but he was gaunt and scrawny. His shiftless demeanor was somewhat reminiscent of Chen Lin, and just looking at him was irritating.
"If you can't afford it, then don't buy it, you paupers. The house is worth this price, and we're not haggling."
