Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 733 - 732 Fair Trade

Zhang Xiaoshan now wanted to open the farmhouse business in the shortest possible time, and purchasing Wu Damming’s two-story western-style house was the best solution.

He ran to the slope behind the hill and made a phone call to Jia Lanhua. He learned that Jia Lanhua had already talked things through with Wu Lingling, had agreed to let Wu Lingling dispose of Wu Damming’s estate freely, and that she would hand over all the proceeds to Wu Lingling.

Perhaps, there was still a hint of guilt towards Wu Damming in Jia Lanhua’s heart.

Or, she wanted to completely and thoroughly distance herself from Wu Damming, not ever owing him anything.

When Zhang Xiaoshan arrived at the western-style house after nine o’clock,

besides Wu Lingling, there were also the Wu family’s third grand-uncle and several elders in the living room.

Everyone had already taken their positions.

"Little Shan, you’ve arrived."

Clearly, the faces of the Wu family elders didn’t look too good; after all, selling ancestral property in the countryside was considered an act of squandering the family’s legacy.

They also advised Wu Lingling, but it was to no avail.

"Hmm, good morning, third grand-uncle, and good morning to everyone else. Since we are all gathered here, let’s discuss the sale."

Zhang Xiaoshan got straight to the point.

The Wu family’s third grand-uncle hesitated before speaking to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Little Shan, you know the customs of our rural area. To sell off family property is to disgrace the family name. If you really buy Damming’s estate, then you are slapping the faces of us Wu family members."

Another elder from the Wu family chimed in.

"Village Chief Zhang, you’re now a prominent figure in our village. You’ve helped the Wu family before, but that doesn’t mean you can walk over us."

With Wu Damming dead, the village chief position had passed to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Their status in White Dragon Village had plummeted.

Especially since the other families in the village listened to Zhang Xiaoshan, the Wu family could no longer enjoy the glory of past days, and they were trying to regain some face.

Zhang Xiaoshan, of course, knew what was in their hearts, and he wasn’t going to indulge them.

He directly smiled and said to them,

"Third grand-uncle, uncles of the Wu family, maybe you’ve got it wrong. It’s not that I want to buy the house, it’s that Wu Lingling insists on selling it to me."

"You should be advising Wu Lingling. Why are you getting angry with me?"

Wu Lingling retorted sharply,

"Great-grandfather Three, Uncle Four, Uncle Seven, how about this, I won’t sell the house or the land anymore. Instead, every year you all provide for my tuition and living expenses, as well as the expenses for settling down once I enter society, and my dowry when I get married." freewebnσvel.cѳm

"I’ve calculated it; it’s not much. Just give me three hundred thousand. You can split it among yourselves, each family just needs to come up with sixty or seventy thousand, and that should be about right."

"Three hundred thousand?"

The people of the Wu family suddenly lost their tempers, each one gesturing in refusal.

"I still have kids in school; where am I supposed to get that kind of money for you?"

"The same here, my son is of age now, he’s ready to get married, and I can’t even scrape together enough money for the bride price, where am I supposed to get the money for your dowry?"

"No, this won’t do."

One by one, the uncles of the Wu family started to shirk responsibility.

Seeing her opportunity, Wu Lingling pressed harder,

"If you don’t give me the money, and here I am, a poor student without parents, are you expecting me to drink the northwest wind at school?"

"Or should I drop out now and work as a waitress at a restaurant?"

"Huh?"

Wu Lingling, the young girl, had entirely inherited the domineering nature of Wu Damming and, influenced by the behavior of her stepmother Jia Lanhua, had a bit of her sharp-tongued quality.

"Then, perhaps, Great-Uncle Three, we should let Lingling sell these properties?"

"Right, just sell them, after all, keeping them doesn’t do us any good."

"Sell, sell, sell, it must be sold."

The uncles who were previously against it were now nodding their heads faster than before.

The ugliness of human nature was fully exposed at this moment.
