Tan Zhenghong greeted Tie Niu to come in and sit down, and Qiao Duo'er brought in a bowl of sugared water for him.
In landowner families, sugared water was used to entertain honored guests.
Tie Niu received it with a smile, having just become thirsty from his walk.
After drinking a couple of sips of water, he brought up the matter at hand.
"Ah Hong, today the Second Master Xiao came over and said it was his sister's follies, so I came to ask you if you were still interested in buying that piece of land."
"Uncle Tie, my wife and I naturally like that piece of land, but we landowners always look for good omens, and I'm afraid we might not be able to purchase it now," Tan Zhenghong said with regret.
No sooner had they discussed buying the land than Xiao Biyu came to stir up trouble, wasn't that a bad sign?
Tie Niu let out a sigh, "What a pity for such a good piece of land. Are you interested in any other foundation?"
