Chapter 129 Buying a House in Shanghai

After the first day of the Chinese New Year, the second day is the day to go back to your parents' home, but your third brother Zhang Shijing and your third sister-in-law He Hua's wedding was on this day, so Xia Wanyang just called home and wished a happy new year to her parents and her two brothers and sisters-in-law.

The third brother's wedding was held in the same way as the eldest brother's, without any extravagance, but that did not affect Zhang Shijing's grimace of joy. After all, he finally made up for the regrets of his youth.

Now is the most leisurely time in rural Northeast China, so the New Year is not considered over until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There is still some time before spring ploughing. Xia Wanyang wanted to go back to her parents' home, and Zhang Shiye agreed without thinking.

In addition to visiting her family this time when she returned home, Xia Wanyang also wanted to buy a few houses. She and Zhang Shiye would definitely go to college in the future. Now is a turbulent time, and some people would sell their extra houses in advance upon hearing the news. It would be most cost-effective to buy now.

Two days later, the train stopped at Shanghai Railway Station. Xia Wanyang found a deserted place and took out the gifts for everyone from the space. This time she did not inform Xia's father and planned to give the whole family a surprise.

It was noon when I got home. My two brothers and sisters-in-law were eating in the company cafeteria. Father Xia had not come back yet. Only mother Gu Ning was at home.

"Mom, your most adorable little daughter and son-in-law are back!"

Before the person entered the house, Xia Wanyang's voice reached Xia's mother's ears. Xia's mother started and stood up from the stool, running to the door in a hurry.

"You little naughty girl, you didn't even call me before you came back!" Even though she scolded her, Mother Xia was really happy because Yangyang hadn't been home for more than half a year.

Mother Xia looked at her daughter carefully, "You've become whiter and fatter. Did you bully Shi Ye to do the work for you?"

Zhang Shiye stood aside and said respectfully: "Without mom, Yangyang would rush to do everything at home. I can't bear to let her do anything. I am lucky to marry her, so why would I let her work!"

Although Mother Xia scolded the two of them verbally, she was happy in her heart. Seeing her little one living a good life, no one could be happier than her as a mother.

In the evening, Father Xia, his elder brother, second brother and two sisters-in-law had already gotten off work. The elder sister-in-law Jiang Sisi was nearly seven months pregnant. She worked in the publicity department of the machinery factory and usually spent her time sitting in the office, so she persisted and planned to go home to rest when she was pregnant by the end of August.

Besides Xia's father and mother, the happiest person to see Xia Wanyang return home was her second sister-in-law Liu Yue. "You little bastard, you still remember to come back. I was looking forward to your return when I went back to my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. I was so eager to see you come back!"

The second brother Xia Shuhan pulled Liu Yue back by the collar like a chicken, "Can you slow down? Don't you know you are a double now? If you jump again, I will tie you up!"

Xia Wanyang looked at Liu Yue's belly in surprise, "Second sister-in-law is pregnant too?"

Liu Yue rarely showed a shy little woman's face, "Well, it's just over a month, and it's not stable yet, so I haven't told anyone else!"

Xia Wanyang was really happy for her. Liu Yue had liked her second brother since she was a child. When she was a child, she joked with her that she must give birth to ten children for her second brother when she grew up.

Jiang Sisi stood aside and tried hard to smile, but the unnatural look on her face still caught Xia Wanyang's attention. She glanced at her indifferently but said nothing.

In her previous life, she was very far away from her elder and second brothers and had no contact with them for several years, so she was not sure what kind of person this elder sister-in-law was.

At night, Zhang Shiye stayed in Xia Wanyang's boudoir. He looked around and was so surprised. "Wife, why do I feel like I'm having an affair?"

Xia Wanyang glared at him, "The room next door is empty. Wasn't it good for you to live there before? Why don't you go back?"

Zhang Shiye lay down inside and said, "I'm not going. You are my legal wife, and it is only natural for me to live in your boudoir!"

The next day, Xia's father specially set aside half a day to accompany his daughter and son-in-law at home. Xia Wanyang directly expressed her idea of ​​buying a house. Xia's father glanced at Zhang Shiye, and Zhang Shiye looked at Xia Wanyang, "I listen to my wife!"

Father Xia laughed, "Yes, it's promising to listen to my wife. I can help you contact them, but I don't have time to help you check them out. You can go by yourself. I will sort out the information and give it to you!"

Xia Wanyang happily hugged her father's arm, "Thank you, Dad. It's best to live near Fudan University, but it doesn't matter if it's farther away. I want a small house, preferably one with front and back gardens. I like gardens!"

Xia's mother also secretly took note. Her daughter had lived once, so she must have her reasons for wanting to buy a house. As her daughter's closest person, she just had to support her.

In the afternoon, Xia's father went to work, and Xia's mother took the two of them to the City God Temple. It was not yet the end of the first lunar month, and there were many interesting acrobatics and performances in the temple.

The City God Temple was too big, and after more than an hour of wandering around, Xia Wanyang refused to leave. The three of them had no choice but to take a bus home. As soon as they entered the house, Xia's father's orderly brought them an envelope.

Xia Wanyang happily opened it, and there were four addresses and contacts written inside. "Dad is so quick, he finished it in such a short time, amazing!"

Seeing the house, Xia Wanyang was no longer tired, and pulled Xia's mother and Zhang Shiye out, "Hurry up, what if someone else gets there first!"

Mother Xia smiled and shook her head, what a silly girl! Houses are not cabbages, how can they be sold so quickly!

The few of them arrived at the first place, which was about 40 minutes' bike ride away from the Xia family. It was a veritable garden house with three floors and 15 rooms. One of the rooms even had a piano, which was left by the owner. Xia Wanyang fell in love with it at first sight. This small house not only had a front yard, but also a backyard. There was half an acre of land in the backyard that could be used for planting, and there was a circle of fruit trees around it.

This house is now vacant and the contact person is not the owner. He only said that the owner has gone abroad and he is selling it on behalf of the owner.

"The house is well preserved, but the owner said he wouldn't give a penny for 30,000 yuan. If it weren't for this price, it would have been snatched away long ago!"

Xia's mother thought it was a bit too expensive, but Xia Wanyang thought it was worth it. She secretly glanced at her man, and Zhang Shiye nodded slightly to indicate that he could buy it.

"Okay, let's go transfer the ownership now!"

The seller was very surprised. He thought he had made a wasted trip, but he didn't expect that the other party had made the decision without even looking at the item carefully!

"Won't you guys discuss this? Thirty thousand dollars isn't cheap at all!"

Xia Wanyang clicked his tongue, "I'll give you the money and the goods. I won't give you a penny less than the 30,000 yuan!"

The transaction went smoothly. Xia Wanyang simply said that the house was from the owner's relative and that the property was now given to her.

After completing the formalities, Zhang Shiye waited on the side with a sack in his hand. He looked at the property certificate in the little girl's hand and handed the sack to the agent who sold the property.

Xia Wanyang was so happy that she gave the seller another 20 yuan as a thank you fee.

The second house was near Fudan University. It was a small three-story shabby building with more than a dozen rooms. However, the environment was very poor and the interior decoration was very old. But Xia Wanyang didn't care. She had thought about it. When she came back in the future, she could simply renovate the house and rent it out, and she would just collect the rent.

The couple who came this time were in their fifties. This house was their ancestral property, but unfortunately their son was not very good and had squandered most of the family savings over the years. Even their retirement money had been "borrowed".

Xia Wanyang curled her lips secretly. It was because of the two of them that they had such a prodigal son. When his parents were tough on him once, they would consider it again when he wanted something. It was because his parents compromised again and again that their son became more and more excessive.

Of course, this was someone else's family affair and Xia Wanyang had no right to interfere. The house was priced at 10,000 yuan, but Xia's mother used her eloquence to negotiate it down to 7,000 yuan.

Xia Wanyang was very happy, she saved a total of three thousand yuan!

Although her own money plus her mother's money in her space totaled more than one million, she still felt that she had made a fortune.

After the transaction was completed, Xia Wanyang held the warm property certificate tightly and said, "Mom, you are so awesome! You saved me three thousand yuan in one go!"

Mother Xia said proudly: "Who would buy this broken house now? Fudan University is closed, and everyone wants to sell it. They are in a hurry to use the money. There are no more than ten people in the entire Shanghai market who can take out so much cash at once!"
