Chen Zuyin was extremely unwilling to give up his own dwelling, but, since Chen Sanqiu had said so, Chen Zuyin had thoughts of taking care of his son, so he could only nod his head and agree.
The smell of the Tan Lian almost exploded. She was scolding Chen Sanqiu for being a fool, for keeping such a good land for herself. She didn't need it anymore, she just wanted to make sure that the Cloud Locking Lake, which everyone looked down upon, was contracted.
The Cloud Locking Lake covered an area of 300 mu, but no one was willing to contract it. In this mountain lair, even if one raised fish, it would be difficult to sell them. With the investment of manpower, resources, and transportation, ordinary people would not be able to afford it.
He never thought that Chen Sanqiu would actually want to trade the Cloud Fixation Lake for apple fields that were seen as gold by others. How could Lian Xiang not be angry?
Even though he kept scolding the wastrel on the side of his mouth, he just directly laid on the bed and ignored the others.
Zhao Qingfan and Zhao Baoliang were very excited. It was a good thing for the village committee that they had contracted the Cloud Locking Lake in the year 1500. Originally, they had wanted to contract the Cloud Locking Lake 7,000 times a year, but no one had contracted it.
Even a rich person like Zhao Baoliang didn't have a contract with him. One could only imagine how much everyone looked down on the Cloud Locking Lake.
He never thought that Chen Sanqiu, the prodigal son, would actually bring up this kind of request.
The two of them pretended to be reserved as they frowned and said, ”We need to go and think over this matter. We need to convene a village committee meeting and vote on it together. After all, this is an important matter in the village.”
Chen Sanqiu nodded, showing that he understood.
Chen Zuyin could not help but smack the table, and said angrily to Chen Sanqiu: ”You don't understand anything, they are just thinking, how can they not agree? Then, do you know who is trying to contract the Cloud Locking Lake? It is simply a bottomless pit. You still want to contract the Cloud Locking Lake? Besides, the Lake is at the foot of the mountain. It is so far away, so what do you want with so much foundation? You want to build a house in that godforsaken place, but I don't want to. ”
Zhao Qingfan and Zhao Baoliang quickly left with their tails between their legs. It was easy to trick Chen Sanqiu, but, it wasn't easy to trick Chen Zuyin.
Other than the barren hills, there were no other lands. Chen Sanqiu did not expect that he would not even want a single penny, and that he would need ten mu of foundation to purchase the Cloud Locking Lake. This was simply too wasteful.
After leaving Chen Sanqiu's house, Zhao Qingfan followed Zhao Baoliang to his house.
Zhao Shaolin, Zhao Ergou and the others were anxiously waiting at Zhao Baoliang's place. Seeing Zhao Qingfan and Zhao Baoliang enter, Zhao Shaolin quickly asked, ”Second Master, Third Uncle, how is the matter? What did that brat Chen Sanqiu say? ”
He poured a cup of water for Zhao Qingfan and said with a smile: ”Although Chen Sanqiu's conditions are small, we cannot agree to it so easily, we have to do it slowly anyway.”
Zhao Qingfan laughed bitterly and said to Zhao Baoliang, ”Although that Chen Sanqiu was a little wasteful and only traded the apple land's treasure-gathering pot for sixty years' worth of land's foundation and ten acres of land's worth of land's worth of land, what if you pull down what Chen Sanqiu had decided on? What if he still wants to keep his own land? Even if we let them leave their own land and they sell their apple trees out of anger, what should we do? ”
Hearing Zhao Baolang's words, Zhao Baolang thought to himself that Chen Sanqiu, that little bastard, was indeed such a bastard. It looked like it didn't matter, but if he really went crazy, he would ignore everything.
When Zhao Shaolin heard the conversation between Zhao Qingfan and Zhao Baoliang, Zhao Shaolin hurriedly told Zhao Qingfan and Zhao Baoliang, ”I think we should just follow Chen Sanqiu's instructions. Everyone, think about it, why did Chen Sanqiu sell himself to such an extent this year? Because many of the apple trees have just been planted for two years and have not even come to fruition yet, when the time comes, we can sell that field of apples for at least a hundred thousand yuan. Then, we can use the pollen from those trees to pollinate our field and sell them for three to four hundred thousand yuan a year without any problem.
Hearing Zhao Shaolin say this, Zhao Qingfan and Zhao Baoliang also felt an itch in their hearts.
