Chapter 370 Went to the First Manor
The woman nodded and said "ah" softly, then raised her hand to signal them to come in. She led the way in front, leading them to a room next to the main house.
She stood outside the door and shouted, "Boss, someone is coming to buy the farm, please come out quickly."
A middle-aged man in the room replied: "Let the guests go to the main room to have a drink of water first, I will be right over."
The middle-aged woman led them to the main house, asked them to sit down first, and poured water for everyone. She took the initiative to say, "You drink the water first, I will be here soon."
At this time, someone outside the door coughed and walked in. This middle-aged man was of medium height, wearing coarse cloth, and looked honest, but his eyes were very shrewd. Su He thought this was normal. If he was purely honest, how could he manage the people here, and he would not be able to be the head of the village.
He came in and greeted everyone: "Sorry for the long wait, do you want to buy the farmhouse?"
Songbai said, "I am from the dental clinic in town. I am here with two guests to see the manor. What is your name? Please introduce the manor to me!"
The head of the village replied seriously, "Your surname is Xie. This farm covers an area of about 40 mu. The current owner is also surnamed Xie, and we all take the owner's surname. There are seven farmers here, all of whom were bought by the owner, and their deeds are in his possession. We heard that the owner wanted to sell the farm, so we have been waiting for this!"
Songbai asked again: "How is the harvest on the farm?"
Village head Xie said: "The harvest is good every year. There is a pond and two wells on the farm, so there is no problem with watering the land. There is nothing else. They just need to grow crops well. The owner doesn't come every year, but the housekeeper comes."
Song Bai had nothing to ask, so he looked at Su He and Su He's father, asking with his eyes if they had anything else to ask.
Su He asked, "Apart from the food given to the master every year, is there enough food left for the big guys to eat?"
Xie Zhuangtou smiled bitterly and said, "What can I say? We can make do, but it's better than those outside. At least we won't starve to death here. The master has a granary. If things don't work out, we can borrow some food and make up for it next year. The master is kind and never asks about these things."
Su He's father said, "I want to take a look at the farm, is that ok with you?"
Xie Zhuangtou said quickly, "Sure! Take a look around. Do you need me to take you there?"
Su He's father said: "There's no need for that, we can just take a look."
Village head Xie said immediately: "Then go and have a look! All around us are our farmland."
Then they came out and drove the carriage along the dirt road. It was all flat land and looked pretty good. Su He felt that the only flaw was the lack of a wall. In this era, a manor without a wall was not safe. It would be too dangerous if there was any disturbance.
After Su He's father and Su He looked at the other two manors, they discussed that they would look at the other manors tomorrow before deciding which one to buy. They agreed with Song Bai that they would look at the other manors tomorrow before deciding which one to buy.
They returned to the village, said goodbye to him, and drove the carriage to send Songbai back to the town. When Songbai arrived at the town entrance, he asked Su He's father to let him go and walk back by himself, which was not a long way.
Su He's father wanted to send him back to the pawnshop, but Song Bai said he had other things to do in the town and there was no need to send him back. So Su He's father took Su He back to the village.
They were busy all day without stopping. On the way back, Su He fell asleep in the shaking car. When she arrived in the village, she heard someone talking to her father and woke up.
She sat up and looked out of the car. It was getting dark outside. When they were almost at the door of their home, they saw her mother looking out the door. When she saw her family coming, she quickly opened the door.
The car stopped and Su He jumped out, shouting, "Mom, we're back. You must have been waiting anxiously!"
Su He Niang smiled and said, "Since you guys didn't come back so late, I came out to take a look. I hope you come back safely."
Su He's father also smiled and said, "I should have come back early in the afternoon, but I suddenly wanted to go to the dental clinic to check out the farm, so I came back late. I'm sorry to have worried you."
