Chapter 1910 The houses and shops are sold
Three hundred taels, a yard with a small second entry, is also considered reasonable.
But that was more than 30 years ago, after so long, and the Chen family renovated and expanded the yard, it is reasonable to say that it is worth at least 352 to 400 taels.
This is a normal situation, but the sales of the Chen family's yard are not normal.
In the evening, Lu Sanzhu came back excitedly and said, "The Chen family's house has been sold. Guess how much it cost."
At this moment, everyone is eating at the dinner table. Uncle Meng knows Chenggu County the most. After thinking about it, he said, "Three hundred and eighty taels?"
Lu Sanzhu shook his head, Meng Qi guessed, "Four hundred taels? This area is quite lively now."
"Neither right."
Several people guessed, most of them guessed up to three hundred taels.
When it was Shu Yu's turn, she looked at Lu Sanzhu's mysterious appearance and pondered for a moment, "Two hundred and forty taels?"
Actually, she wanted to say 250 taels, but 250 taels didn't sound good, so she reduced it by 10 taels.
Unexpectedly, Lu Sanzhu's eyes widened and he gave her a thumbs up, "Ayu, you are amazing, how did you guess?"
Everyone was stunned, "Really two hundred and forty taels? This, this is too low, right?"
Meng Pei asked Shu Yu, "Ayu, do you know the reason?"
"Just looking at the appearance of the third uncle, I don't think it's too high. When I think about the people of the Chen family, the matter of Chen Bing should be spread around here, and many people will feel unlucky."
Shu Yu thought of the big mansion at the entrance to the secret road to the black market. Because that place was rumored to be unlucky, there were ghosts every day, and the owner of the house was not going to end well. As a result, no one in the vicinity dared to go there, so a secret passage was kept secret. so many years.
As you can imagine, the people of Chenggu County are quite taboo in this regard.
Lu Sanzhu nodded while listening, "That's right, I heard a lot of people pointing at the Chen family, saying that living in this house is bad luck."
The Chen family was not alone, but the whole family.
Chen Bing colluded with the rebels, Pan committed adultery, Chen He divorced his wife, and Chen Qiu's character was corrupted. When people hear these things, they just feel like they are listening to a fantasy. Even if they want to buy a house, they are currently in a wait-and-see state.
And the house is in a hurry, it will be sold within three days.
The wealthy households who can afford a house do not care about this place. Those who cannot afford it have to raise money. How many days is enough?
"The official auction price was 280 taels, but no one cared about it. No, it dropped again and again, and finally someone bought it at 240 taels."
The old lady frowned, "This house is sold at such a low price, and the shop is not as high as you think." She looked at Granny Fang worriedly, "Don't come to the end, you can't pay the six hundred taels back to you?"
"Probably not." Shu Yu said, "The house is 240 taels, and the shop should be able to sell for 300 taels. The Chen family originally had a few hundred taels to save."
A shop is different from a house. The location of the grocery store where Chen's family is located is not bad. The merchants are looking for profit. It is a profitable shop, and it is easier to sell than a house.
As Shu Yu said, the next day, the grocery store of the Chen family was also sold, and the price was 322 taels.
In this way, there are five hundred and sixty taels.
The Chen family originally had about 312 taels of savings, of which 50 taels were the dowry brought by the Pan family when they married.
