The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 84

[Chapter 84 One Penny]

Just as Fang Xiu was about to stand up and leave, Bai Xiaochun walked up to him at some point and said with a guilty look on his face: “Young one.”

Just as he was about to speak, Fang Xiu waved his hand and interrupted him: “It doesn’t matter.”

At this moment, an old man walked up to Fang Xiu from a short distance away.

It seemed that he had already noticed him, and the old man said straight to the point: “I wonder what this young master does to come to our Goulan?”

Fang Xiu looked at the old man, smiled, and said, “If you have nothing to do, why can’t you come to Goulan?

The old man also responded with a smile: “Of course not. However, the young master has visited the entire Goulan area from noon to now. It must be more than just watching a show.” When

Fang

Xiu heard this, the smile on his face did not change, and his pupils But he shrank slightly.

When the old man saw this scene, he cupped his hands apologetically and said: “Master, please don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t intend to spy on you. It’s just that there was a mixture of fish and dragons in this hook. There are few noble people like the master, so I couldn’t help but take a second look.”

Fang Xiu waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t mind, and sat back on the chair again.

He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then asked: “I wonder what this elder wants?”

The old man sat opposite him, looked at him with a pair of deep eyes, and said: “Young Master is here today. Goulan, do you want to do business in Goulan Wa City?”

Fang Xiu was shocked when he heard this.

This old guy’s guess is somewhat accurate!

Although he thought so in his heart, his face remained calm, he just looked at the old man and didn’t say anything.

The old man smiled and continued: “I am old, and I am no longer able to run this hook fence. I have no children or grandchildren, and I am alone. These things cannot be taken with me in life or death, but there is nothing to worry about.

I just rely on this hook fence .

There are nearly a hundred people who are still alive, many of them are friends of the old man, and some are the descendants of his deceased friends. Therefore, the old man is really worried about it.

Therefore, he hopes to find a noble man to take over Goulan. I wonder if the master is willing? Fang

Xiu thought for a while and said, “Junior heard that this Goulan is an unclaimed land.” When

the old man heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face and said, “That’s right, this Goulan is indeed an unclaimed land. “

The land of the Lord… However, the title deed is in my hands.”

Fang Xiu looked at the old man and understood after a while.

This land belongs to the old man.

However, he did not use it to make a profit. Instead, he built this hook fence with simple materials and let some skilled people settle in and make a living.

It’s like… providing a place of refuge for those street performers.

In this world where no profit is available, it is extremely difficult to give up one’s assets to benefit the poor.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu looked at the old man with a little more respect.

“Why me?”

Fang Xiu asked after looking at each other for a moment.

The old man’s face still had the same smile as before, but his eyes were a little more profound, and he said: “I have lived in this world for many years and have no merits, but I am quite confident in my way of seeing people.

I believe in you, absolutely .

I won’t let the people in this hook have nothing to rely on.”

Fang Xiu touched his nose after listening to the old man’s praise.

Noncommittal,

he is indeed a good person.

Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need to be secretive anymore. Fang Xiu asked generously: “How much money are you planning to sell for this land deed?”

The old man showed a meaningful smile on his old face and looked towards Fang Xiu. Hugh, hold up a finger.

Although this hook fence is in dilapidated condition, if it rains, there may not even be a place for shelter.

But after all, we were located in the capital city, and in the south of the city where every inch of land was precious, a thousand taels of silver was not too much.

Fang Xiu pondered for a moment and then agreed generously: “A thousand taels of silver is just a thousand taels of silver.”

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and slowly uttered a sentence: “What the old man said was a penny.”

One article .

money.

Fang Xiu couldn’t help but show surprise on his face.

Just when he thought that the old man was crazy, the old man said again: “However, I have a condition.”

After hearing this, Fang Xiu looked at the old man with a strange look.

This old man’s style is very similar to the grandfather in some online novels from his previous life.

I don’t know what he thought of, but a light flashed in Fang Xiu’s eyes.

Seeing that Fang Xiu was silent, the old man showed an unfathomable expression on his face, and continued: “Old man, this condition is very simple, that is.”

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Xiu interrupted: “Senior, there is no need to say anything else.”

The old man was a little confused. .

What’s the meaning?

But Fang Xiu said again: “Since there are conditions, I don’t want to buy it. For this land deed, the senior should find someone else who is destined.”

With that, he got up and left.

The old man watched Fang Xiu get up from the chair and walk out of the hook fence. His expression was calm all the time, as if he was an expert from this world, but there was a rare trace of panic on his face.

Then he got up and called Fang Xiu.

“Sir, wait a minute.”

Fang Xiu turned around and looked at the old man, with a look of surprise in his eyes, as if he didn’t understand why he stopped him.

The old man took a deep breath, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

This young man really doesn’t act according to common sense.

All the original plans were disrupted. For a moment, I really didn’t know what to say.

After a moment of silence, he said: “There are three Goulan locations in the south of the city. Two of them are run by high-ranking officials. If you miss this opportunity, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable place again.”

Fang Xiu looked indifferent .

, said carelessly: “Then we won’t find a suitable place. I don’t have to run Goulan.”

When the old man heard this, he was completely stunned.

There was a tangled look on his face. After a long time, he said: “Master, how about we discuss it later?”

Fang Xiu smiled, shook his head and said, “There is no need to discuss it.”

After saying that, without any hesitation, he walked out of the hook fence.

Bai Xiaochun followed closely behind.

The old man originally thought he was just deceiving himself.

Not to mention in the south of the city, in the capital, even in the wasteland on the outskirts, there is no land for a penny.

If he wasn’t a crazy fool, how could he not be moved?

But he watched the young man walk out of the hook fence without looking back once.

The old man suddenly woke up.

I’m afraid this young man really doesn’t care about this piece of land.

He gritted his teeth and winked at the boy beside him.

The boy immediately understood and hurriedly chased after him.

Outside the hook fence, Bai Xiaochun looked at his young master in confusion and asked: “Master, in the south of the city, such a large piece of land is worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

The old man sold it to us for a penny of silver, which is almost as good as giving it away for free .

The difference, why do you refuse?”

This guy has never read any books since he was a child, so he naturally doesn’t understand the principle of playing hard to get.

Fang Xiu didn’t bother to explain to him and said casually: “I didn’t hear what the old guy said. Does he have a condition?”
