When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 733 (Page 1/2)
After Xie Chuan heard Lin Man's statement, he knew that she was extremely determined to buy it.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sly smile. He then slowly extended his right index and middle fingers, gestured a number, and said, "Seventy-eight thousand. If you send it, I'll send it too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing as if he was amused by his own humorous words.
On the other side, Lin Man stared at Xie Chuan quietly with a smile on her face, and did not immediately respond to the price he offered.
For a moment, the whole scene fell into a subtle silence, but there seemed to be an invisible tacit understanding flowing quietly between the two of them.
Seeing that Lin Man was still silent, Xie Chuan stopped laughing and explained seriously, "Comrade Xiaolin, this price is already the lowest, it really can't be any lower.
If I lower the price any further, my brother and the others will be upset with me!"
As he spoke, he spread out his hands helplessly, looking very embarrassed.
Lin Man smiled slowly, "Uncle Xie, if I buy your house, it will cost a lot of money and time to find someone to demolish these illegal buildings.
After demolishing these illegal buildings, the rest of the repairs will need to be done, which will probably cost a lot of money. The most important thing is that there are still two stubborn residents in your house who are unwilling to move out…”
Xie Chuan looked at Lin Man with an embarrassment, "Xiao Lin, if you really plan to buy this house, after the tenants move out, I can hire someone to help you demolish all these illegal buildings and repair what needs to be repaired."
Lin Man asked again, "How are you going to deal with the stubborn residents? If Uncle Xie can handle all of this, then 78,000 is fine!"
Although she has ways to deal with the nail households, she doesn't want to cause trouble. If buying a house doesn't work out here, she can buy another one next time. Even if she has money, she is still afraid of not being able to buy a house.
Xie Chuan nodded repeatedly after hearing Lin Man's straightforward agreement. "If you really want to buy it, we'll find a way to evict all the tenants. We'll have people come and demolish these illegal buildings in a couple of days. When do you think we can close the deal?"
Lin Man looked at Xie Chuan with curiosity and asked softly, "Uncle Xie, how long does it take you to handle something like this?"
Xie Chuan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then replied: "As for demolishing those illegal buildings, if we can find more people to help with the work, it shouldn't take too long to get it done.
However, it is not easy to deal with the two families of Li Bo and Tang Xiaohui!
We still need to spend some time to communicate with them and find out what it takes for them to be willing to move out."
Hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but ask again: "Then how long do you estimate it will take overall?"
Xie Chuan thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Hmm...about a week or so? But it's hard to say. It depends on the progress of the negotiations with the two companies."
After receiving this answer, Lin Man nodded, indicating that she understood, and then said, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll come to your house in a week."
At this moment, Xie Chuan suddenly changed the subject and said to Lin Man with a smile, "Xiao Lin, buying a house is such a big deal for your family, don't you need to discuss it with your husband? What do you all do for a living?"
Facing Xie Chuan's sudden question, Lin Man hesitated for a moment, but she did not reveal her family's actual situation. She just responded calmly:
"Oh, my husband is working in Hai City right now. I can handle the matter of buying a house on my own."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more useful information out of Lin Man, Xie Chuan shrugged helplessly and continued, "Okay, okay, in that case, I'll give you a week as we agreed before.
But let me be frank, if you don't come to see me by next Sunday, I won't be able to sell you this house anymore!"

Lin Man nodded slightly, agreeing, "Well, alright then. I'll come see you on Sunday. If Uncle Xie has properly handled all the relevant matters by then, I'll come back next Monday to sign the formal contract with you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Chuan's face immediately lit up with smiles, and he responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! Don't worry, we will definitely be able to arrange everything properly before next Sunday, and we guarantee that there won't be any mistakes!"
After saying that, Xie Chuan enthusiastically extended his right hand towards Lin Man. Seeing this, Lin Man quickly stood up, smiled and politely extended her hand to shake his, and responded, "That's great! I look forward to our smooth cooperation in the future."
Lin Man didn't expect that when she was just strolling around the alley today with nothing to do, she would actually come across someone selling a big house.
After returning to the military compound, she couldn't wait to go next door to look for her grandfather Huo Li.
When Huo Li saw Lin Man rushing over, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly asked, "Xiao Man, did you encounter any trouble when you went to collect the room today?"
Lin Man shook her head slightly and replied with a smile, "No, Grandpa. The previous owner gave me the key to the house a long time ago, and I even changed the key to the front door. Oh, and I also took some time out today to visit Qing Huan at National Tsing Hua University."
Hearing this, Huo Li nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction, and then asked curiously: "Oh? How is Qinghuan now? Is everything okay?"
Lin Man thought for a moment, then said seriously, "It's still the same, not much has changed. But Grandpa, do you know?
After leaving National Tsing Hua University, I wandered around the area. I happened to hear that the Xie Mansion was for sale, so I quickly asked someone to inquire about the situation..."
When Huo Li heard this, he immediately became interested, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Xie Mansion? Is it the house where Xie Jinian's family lived? I remember it was a large courtyard with four entrances!"
Didn't they say that this house had been taken away by the higher-ups? How come Xie Jinian can take it back now?"
Lin Man nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, it is the Xie family's house. I heard that it was taken back last summer."
"Is that so? Did that old fellow Xie Jinian suffer all these years?
I didn't expect that he would actually want to sell the ancestral home after taking it back. The house covers an area of 1,000 to 2,000 square meters, which is very large. Xiao Man, do you really want to buy it? This house should not be cheap.
Huo Li knew that her eldest grandson had given all the money to Lin Man. She had money in her hands, but she was still a little worried that they didn't have enough money.
Lin Man also noticed Huo Li's concern, so she patiently explained. "They offered 80,000 yuan for the house, and later agreed to a reduction of 2,000 yuan. Grandpa, don't worry about the money for the house. I still have some money. I'm just worried that some of the tenants won't move out."
"Xiao Man, if you buy that house, you can rent it out again...it's empty anyway. If the tenants refuse to move out, we can just continue renting it to them."
Lin Man felt that her grandfather's thinking was too simple. If he really did that, Lin Man was worried that the two stubborn households would not only refuse to move out, but would also compete with her for the house when the housing prices went up.
Although she might win in the end, she doesn't want to get involved in any trouble. She would rather spend more money to buy a house than stay as a stubborn tenant.
"Grandpa, if I really buy that house, I definitely can't rent it out. The previous tenants of the Xie Mansion refused to move out because they wanted to occupy the Xie family's house, and they always found various excuses to stay.
What if I rent the house to those people and they refuse to leave and don’t pay us rent?
"Well, you're right. This house still can't be rented out casually."
