Zhou Erlang said in a low voice as well, "There's no need for such trouble when we have the Land Officer as witness, and Eldest Master Shi is also a reputable man in Luojiang County; he won't cheat us. Plus, we'll take the deed to the County Governmental Office shortly for recording."
Manbao was stunned and asked, "Isn't today an off-day for the office?"
"It is, but your fourth brother knows a secretary, and though the office is closed, your brother could still ask him for a favor to get the deed recorded today, so we can settle things right away."
Manbao was quite surprised and scratched her head, "Is there such a rush?"
Zhou Erlang smiled and nodded, "We're not in a hurry ourselves, but it's naturally more reassuring to get things settled when we can, plus our parents are waiting at home."
Shi Xiaoen had been standing to the side waiting for them to finish their discussion. Their voices were soft, but he could catch a word here and there.
