Bai Yihong also sold an antique vase and a sheep-fat jade ring to gather enough silver to purchase all the land, managing to get it for about 20% less than the market price.
He didn't press hard on the price. He thought moving house wasn't easy for others, so he'd rather find a way to manage himself.
In fact, if it weren't for the other party saying they feared trouble and begging him to buy it all, he only intended to buy half. He didn't want to use all his silver, as it left him feeling insecure.
Very soon Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zehao arrived, but Jiang Yichun, who went out early to meet Meng Liangshen, was not there.
Bai Yihong sighed with relief; after all, causing trouble made him a bit embarrassed to let his son-in-law know.
"Dad, I just heard from the steward, what is going on?" Bai Zehao asked.
Bai Yihong scratched his head, "We were definitely set up."
He then recounted the land purchase, his interactions with the other party, and the request to buy all the land.
