When Young Master Tang's housekeeper heard their back-and-forth conversation that wasn't reaching the point, he said,
"Housekeeper Meng, the Li family brothers heard you want to sell your land and were wondering if the price of this estate could be lowered a bit."
Housekeeper Meng understood upon hearing this, realizing it wasn't the Tang Family buying the land, but rather he had become an intermediary.
His face expressed difficulty as he said,
"Li family brothers, you certainly know how expensive the land was when we bought it, and then the silver we spent on building the houses wasn't small. Honestly, we're not making money on this price. Do you see how I look now? I've changed so much in the last half year!"
Housekeeper Meng spoke so pitifully that those who had seen him before knew, indeed, they were putting him in a tough spot. A person who doesn't know how to manage crops, wouldn't it be hard for him being sent to manage them?
