Chapter 2296 Ultimatum
"Grandpa Xu."
After a brief silence, Hong Feng sat upright and looked at the old man.
"Please sell me this maple tree."
...
"Drink~"
Zhuge Yun grinned.
This guy is as straightforward as the rumors say.
...
"Or you can borrow it from me temporarily."
"Of course, it would be great if you could sell it to me."
Hong Feng looked sincere and spoke sincerely.
...
The smile on the old man's face faded.
The corners of his mouth pursed.
You don't even care that there are outsiders present?
Isn't this young man a little anxious?
Too.
It's been a stalemate for so many days.
Both for this young man and for him and the old woman, it was a bit boring.
They may be even more so.
After all, he has old bones and cannot compare with the energy of young people.
but......
Even if they feel tired, their answers will not change.
"Hong Feng, we have told you many times."
"This maple tree was there when this house was built."
"It's been passed down from our ancestors."
"It has a special meaning to us."
"We're not selling it."
"It belongs in this courtyard."
...
"Then please lend it to me temporarily?"
The look on Hong Feng's face became more sincere.
"After I die, this maple tree will come back to this yard."
"This way, this maple tree is still yours."
...
"If you want to see the maple trees like today, why don't you just come and see them?"
Zhuge Yun spoke up.
...
Hong Feng seemed a little surprised by Zhuge Yun's interruption.
He was stunned for just a second and then laughed again.
"I like this maple tree very much."
"I hope to see it every day."
"So hopefully it will be planted in my yard."
...
"oh."
Zhuge Yun responded calmly.
"But the owner of this maple tree also likes it very much."
He emphasized the words master and like.
No matter how good something is, it still has an owner.
No matter how much outsiders like it, they can only like it and not think about owning it.
After all, if it's not yours, it's not yours.
The master said he disagreed several times and should have given up long ago.
A gentleman does not take away what others like.
Hong Feng is simply entangled like this.
"They are all likes. Is your like more important?"
...
Although Zhuge Yun said this with a smile, the content of his words was really rude.
For a moment, the air seemed to be a little stagnant.
...
"Master Xiao, Maple Leaf Cake is here."
Xu Zizhen's voice broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere under the maple tree.
".....What's wrong?"
Xu Zizhen was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere among everyone.
...
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao took the plate with maple leaf cake.
"Ah, you're welcome."
Xu Zizhen smiled subconsciously.
...
"You misunderstood me."
Hong Feng smiled at Zhuge Yun.
Then his eyes fell on the old man again.
To him, the current owners of the maple tree, the two old men, are the most important.
other people......
He didn't want to waste time and talk.
"Old man..."
...
A big tic-tac-toe appeared on Zhuge Yun's forehead.
This guy...is perfunctory and ignoring him!
...
"Second brother."
Zhao Luzheng reminded Zhuge Yun in a low voice, "Calm down."
Even though they were in opposing positions at this time, Zhao Luzheng had to admit that the other party was very rational.
Know what you want.
and have been working hard for this.
Instead of wasting time and energy on unnecessary things.
For example, several visitors who have nothing to do with the Xu family.
...
Xu Zizhen sat next to his grandfather.
He understood the reason for the strange atmosphere just now.
Is this person... starting again?
It's really endless.
He thought of what Master Xiao had mentioned before about an experience similar to the current situation.
Why did they meet such difficult people?
Xu Zizhen yelled a few times in his heart, feeling very irritated.
...
"Mr. Hong."
Xu Zizhen was sitting upright.
The expression is serious.
"I'll declare it to you again."
"Our family will not sell this maple tree."
"I won't sell it no matter what."
"If you continue to struggle with this issue, don't blame us for being unkind."
...
The two old men were both stunned.
The old lady wanted to speak.
The old man pulled the old lady's clothes.
After a few seconds of pause, the old lady finally closed her mouth.
But he sighed silently.
...
Zhuge Yun and others' eyes lit up.
here you go!
...
Xu Zizhen finally made up his mind after listening to Master Xiao and others yesterday.
Cut the mess with a sharp knife.
They will express gratitude in other ways for the other party's kindness in helping grandma.
...
For the first time, the smile completely faded from Hong Feng's face.
The other party made it so clear...
There was no room for him to pretend to be confused.
This is different from what he thought.
...
In the beginning, he helped the old lady who fell on the road out of kindness.
Later, when he saw the maple tree in the old lady's yard, he thought it was God's reward for his good deeds.
This is his maple tree.
...
This is the first time he has taken a fancy to maple trees in other people's homes.
After all, not many people have enough space to plant maple trees at home.
But at that time, he never expected that just wanting a maple tree would be so difficult.
yes.
It's just a maple tree.
They are not him.
If there is no such maple tree, it would be better to plant another one.
Why do you have to struggle with money?
He really fell in love with this maple tree.
He likes this maple tree very much.
Why not sell him the maple tree?
He even backed down and suggested that he just leave the maple tree with him temporarily.
After all this, it still doesn’t work?
Why?
.......
Hong Feng twitched the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time today."
Are there so many people today called by the old man’s grandson to help?
"I still have something to do."
"I'll take my leave now."
Hong Feng stood up.
He bent slightly and quickly left the yard.
...
Xu Zizhen immediately chased after him.
The remaining people looked at each other.
"This is......."
Zhuge Yun touched his chin, "You still have no plans to give up?"
"Is this the last way to save face?"
...
"......have no idea."
Zhang Bo shook his head.
"It depends on whether he will come again later..."
Zhao Luzheng murmured.
It’s just that the other person is really a very decisive person.
As soon as I saw something was wrong, I immediately retreated.
Instead of arguing with them.
...
Xu Zizhen is back.
"he's gone."
...
"Xu Zizhen, you were so handsome just now."
Zhang Bo gave Xu Zizhen a thumbs up.
...
Xu Zizhen was a little embarrassed.
"I just learn and sell now."
What he said was what Master Xiao and the others told him yesterday.
...
"grandparents."
Xu Zizhen looked at the two elderly people.
"Sorry, I made my own decision."
...
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."
The old lady waved her hand, "You kid, what do you have to apologize for?"
