Su Yunjin hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out the downsides of the shop.
Indeed, the shop's disadvantage was its small frontage; people had come to look at the shop before.
But they were put off by the small storefront and didn't want it. Su Yunjin spoke like this, and the man agreed to reduce the price for her a little more.
After some haggling, Su Yunjin didn't agree to pay a single copper coin more.
Gu Yan felt the same way.
"Brother Zhuang, Yunjin's offered price is fair," he said. "Thirty-five taels, if you want to sell, my wife and I will buy. If you don't, my wife and I won't buy."
Seeing that Su Yunjin and her husband were firm in their attitude, and that the price offered by Su Yunjin was neither high nor low, the man thought it over and finally agreed to sell the shop to them.
"Fine, thirty-five taels it is," he said. "I've been trying to sell this shop for a month without success. Selling it to you today, I can save myself some trouble."
