An old man wearing a beige undershirt opened the door. Huang Richeng called out, "Uncle Zeng, I've brought some people to look after the yard."

Uncle Zeng saw several people standing behind Huang Richeng, smiled and invited them into the courtyard before returning to the back room.

Huang Richeng introduced them, "Uncle Zeng looks after the yards for two homeowners. Come, let me show you around the yards."

This courtyard is not much different from what Huang Richeng just described.

The courtyard house covers an area of ​​760 square meters and has a very regular overall structure.

There were no messy illegal buildings in the courtyard. At the very back was a row of rear buildings, which were very small, so he jokingly called it "two and a half courtyards".

The group then went to look at the courtyard next door, which was basically the same as the previous one, except for a few stone carvings and other differences.

Li Guizhi was quite satisfied with the courtyard. "Both courtyards are nice, it's just that no one has lived there for a while. We can clean them up and they'll be fine."

Huang Richeng gave her a thumbs up, "You're absolutely right, these two courtyards will be absolutely comfortable to live in if we tidy them up a bit!"

Xu Feng and Xiao Muyu weren't particularly fond of these two courtyards.

Xu Feng lived in an adobe house with her parents when she was a child, so she has no feelings about single-story houses.

Xiao Muyu, on the other hand, had lived in apartment buildings and single-story houses since she was a child and had no experience living in single-story houses at all. She had no concept of how comfortable and convenient they were talking about.

Jiang Xiaoli pulled Huang Richeng aside and asked, "How much do these two courtyards cost respectively?"

Huang Richeng clenched his fist behind his back. "Miss Jiang, since you were introduced by an acquaintance, I'll give you a fair price. Both courtyards are 2.2 million."

Jiang Xiaoli had prepared herself for a high price, but when she suddenly heard 2.2 million, she actually felt like she had gotten a bargain!

In her past life, she met a businessman from Kyoto while doing business in Hangzhou. He told her that he bought a courtyard house of more than 400 square meters in 1993 for a seven-figure sum.

The two courtyards are about the same size, around 760 square meters, and she thinks the price of 2.2 million is really reasonable.

Seeing her hesitate and remain silent, Huang Richeng grew a little anxious. "Miss Jiang, there are quite a few people outside who say they can show you courtyard houses, but those two courtyards are so rare, completely intact and without any disputes! This price is really reasonable!"

Jiang Xiaoli spoke up, "Please wait a moment, let's discuss it."

She walked over to Zong Jiayu's side, looking at the wooden door of the main room, and asked, "What do you think?"

Zong Jia nodded. "The house is nice. As for the price, I asked around before. The average price of a house in Kyoto is 2,000 yuan per square meter. A complete yard like this would probably be a bit more expensive, but I'm not sure exactly how much more expensive."

Jiang Xiaoli turned to look at him. "Are you interested in this courtyard?"

Zong Jiayu smiled and nodded, "Of course, such courtyards are rare and worth investing in."

"Haha." Jiang Xiaoli patted his shoulder. "Okay, I'll go ask my mom and the others."

When Li Guizhi saw her coming over, she said, "Xiao Li, is this courtyard expensive or cheap at over 2 million?"

Xu Feng interjected, "It shouldn't be considered expensive, right? We're going to Lucheng for the New Year. I heard from Lao Xiao that the villa there cost over 6 million yuan!"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "When Uncle Xiao bought that villa, houses in Lucheng were indeed expensive. As for this courtyard, I think the price is acceptable. Auntie, aren't you and Xiaoyu interested?"

Xu Feng held her daughter's hand and said, "We still prefer apartments or villas."

"Okay, then I'll ask Zong Jiayu for these two courtyards. I'll go talk to him about the price."

She walked up to Huang Richeng and spoke first, "If we want both of these sets, is there any way to negotiate the price?"

Huang Richeng had been anxious for a long time, afraid that she would say she didn't want it anymore, but when he heard her words, he was overjoyed.

He nodded vigorously, "Of course! I'll call the homeowner right now. You can take a look around!"

Twenty minutes later, Huang Richeng returned with two middle-aged men.

The two were dressed in matching outfits, and their hair was neatly combed.

When they arrived, Huang Richeng had told them that the person in charge was a young girl, so they weren't surprised to see that it was Jiang Xiaoli who came to talk to them.

The slightly overweight man in the middle asked, "Miss Jiang, do you mean you want both courtyard houses?"

“Yes.” Jiang Xiaoli tugged at Zong Jiayu. “If the price is right, we’ll each buy one.”

The thinner man next to him laughed and said, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! We'd be happy to sell these two houses to someone we know. Otherwise, Miss Jiang, please name your price."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and shook her head. "My asking price isn't appropriate. As the buyer, of course I want the price to be as low as possible, but if I quote too low, you two might think I'm not being sincere. How about you two make an offer, and if we think it's reasonable, we can buy it together?"

The two homeowners exchanged a glance and walked to the base of the wall to discuss the matter for a while.

When they returned, the slightly overweight man chuckled, "Miss Jiang, you have quite the eloquence. My brother and I have discussed it, and we're not going to play games with you anymore. We'll offer a flat price of 2 million. If it's reasonable, we can sign the contract today and complete the formalities next week."

Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia exchanged a glance, then she smiled and extended her hand to the slightly chubby man, "It's a pleasure working with you."

The slightly overweight man paused for two seconds, as if he hadn't expected them to make such a quick decision, then he reacted and grabbed her hand, "Haha, Miss Jiang, you're so decisive!"

Huang Richeng was beaming from ear to ear. "You all can just wait here. You don't need to go anywhere. Wait for me for twenty minutes, and I'll be back with the contract!"

It was only when the two groups of people got together and chatted that they learned the two brothers' surname was Xue.

These two courtyard houses were left to them by their grandfather. Now they are selling the houses because the two brothers plan to immigrate.

Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but smile when she heard about their plan.

In her past life, she had heard too many stories of selling houses to immigrate or study abroad. When she wanted to buy back her old house, she could no longer afford it.

However, if there were no people who wanted to pursue "freedom," why would she have the chance to buy such a courtyard house?

Soon, Huang Richeng jogged into the courtyard and handed several blank contracts to the four men.

"I had a lawyer review this house purchase contract. Please take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract. As long as the purchase price is in place, we can go to complete the transfer procedures tomorrow, Saturday, since this week is a single day off!"

Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jiayu are both experienced in reviewing contracts. They carefully went through the contract to confirm that there were no problems.

Zong Jia and Li Guizhi each signed their names on the purchase contract.

After signing the papers, the Xue brothers asked, "Miss Jiang, Mr. Zong, when will your funds arrive?"

Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the watch on Li Guizhi's arm and said, "It's noon. Let's go have lunch together, and then go to the bank, okay?"
