Chapter 960: Decide to Buy the Manor
Jiang Kuanyu suddenly raised her head, "Negotiate? Negotiate about what?" She was still intent on buying the manor?
This time it was Shu Yu’s turn to look surprised, "What do you mean by ’negotiate about what’? Isn’t it about hiring the tenants to work? We already settled that, agreed upon 1,400 taels for the deal."
She furrowed her brow, "You’re not planning to go back on your word, are you?"
Could it be that she found out I’m the Village Chief and assumed I had a lot of money to exploit?
Jiang Kuanyu shook her head vigorously, "No, I’m not going back on my word, I’m just worried you’ll regret it. After all... after all, there’s just been a murder case. Most people would think it’s bad luck, wouldn’t they?"
Shu Yu suddenly understood, though she personally had no such thoughts — she had painstakingly searched to find this manor.
Actually, when she bargained yesterday, the reason she knocked off 400 taels so decisively was that she meant to leave Jiang Kuanyu some room for negotiation. Even at 1,500 taels or 1,600 taels, she would still buy it.
After all, finding a manor that fits her needs isn’t easy, especially since yesterday’s case led her to observe some things about the tenants.
Although the tenants’ families lived far apart, they helped one another. When Old Man Cui died, they were either saddened, reflective, or actively helping — not a single person spoke coldly or indifferently.
