Chu Yu remembered that Chen Baifu had mentioned this person. The old couple were afraid that their house would be occupied after they passed away, so they dared not rent it out and kept the house in their hands. Why did they suddenly want to sell the house now?

"Their son, who is in a vegetative state, is in bad shape. The elderly couple has emptied their pockets and doesn't have enough money. They wanted to sell their house to save their son's life. As you know, houses are hard to sell these days. The elderly couple originally wanted to sell their house and move to this storefront, but the stairs here are inconvenient, and they can't move the patient up and down the stairs. So they had to give up the storefront and keep the house."

Another reason is that after Mandarin became popular, more people in Deyang started their own businesses, making it easier to sell these houses than before.

After the news spread that the elderly couple wanted to sell their house, several buyers came forward.

Ge Lanzhi sighed, "Knowing that the old man needed money to save his life, the buyers were all ruthless in their price-cutting. Many landlords in this row were asking for six or seven thousand, but the old couple were honest people and only asked for 5,000. The buyers bargained down from 5,000 to 3,500, 3,300, and one even cut it down to 2,000. They had no intention of leaving anyone a way to survive."

Chu Yu thought 5,000 was quite reasonable. It was a bit more expensive than hers, but after Mandarin became popular, several shops in this row were rented out. The market had changed, so she could accept the higher price.

Houses in such good locations are becoming increasingly rare; even if you can find a cheaper one, you might not be able to find one in this location.

"Let's focus on Chen Zhuyu first. If you find someone suitable, then introduce them to me."

Shen Zhuyu was somewhat moved. She could accept 5,000 yuan. The elderly couple had a hard life, so she thought it was a good deed and spending a little more money was nothing.

Ge Lanzhi then said, "The family next door also wants to sell. That one is bigger and they're asking for 6,000. I can help you two negotiate together. It's a good thing that you young people can make money, but I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it. It's better to buy more houses. Buying houses is always better than being cheated by a man."

Ge Lanzhi was reliable; she quickly negotiated a price with the neighboring shop as well.

“It’s a bit bigger, and it costs 400 yuan more than the old couple’s house, but I think it’s acceptable. I heard that Secretary Zuo is vigorously developing the economy and encouraging unemployed youth to start their own businesses, so these self-built storefronts are more expensive than in other places.”

Chu Yu and Shen Zhuyu didn't care about money. She let Shen Zhuyu choose first, and Shen Zhuyu chose the one for 5400. Chu Yu then bought the old couple's house.

She gave him the exact amount of 5,000. Perhaps because there were too many people haggling recently, the old lady came from the hospital first, while the old gentleman went home to get his documents and would be a little late.

The old lady couldn't believe she paid so readily; she was completely dazed when she pressed her fingerprint.

Who buys a house without haggling over the price? This is taking care of them.

If the child weren't sick, the girl should at least get a discount. It's not easy for someone so young to have such a kind heart.

But the child is still lying in the hospital waiting for money to treat the illness. 5,000 yuan sounds like a lot, but it will be spent in less than a year. His child used to be the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, but after this incident, he has become a living dead. It is unknown whether there is any hope of waking up. She was in dire need of money at the time, so she opened her mouth and said she would give her a discount.

Aunt Zeng held her hand, choking back tears, "Thank you, child, thank you."

The door was pushed open, and the old man, wearing a straw hat, rushed over from his home. He was dressed in a white vest, with a white shirt over it, and his leather sandals were polished to a high standard, making him look very particular.

Chu Yu felt he looked familiar. The old man walked closer, glanced at her, then glanced again, and suddenly spoke:

"Girl, it's you!"

Chu Yu recognized him too; he was the uncle who sold cloves at the Chinese medicine purchasing station in Rongtai County.

If the uncle hadn't told her that the price of the night-shining sand in Deyang was higher than that of Rongtai, Chu Yu wouldn't be where she is today.

"Uncle, it's you! What a coincidence."

Not only is the price of night-shining sand high in Deyang, but the price of single-stemmed oysters is also high. Uncle Luo went to Rongtai, far away from nearby places, just because he didn't want people in Deyang to know.

His son was injured in the line of duty, and the officers at the police station took good care of them.

If the police officers at the local station knew that they were relying on selling their only son to pay for Luo Kangcheng's medical treatment, they would call on their colleagues to donate money.

How much money can a grassroots police officer at a police station earn?

No one has it easy, and Uncle Luo didn't want to cause trouble for others, so every time he sold his only son, he would make a special detour to Rongtai.

This house is the ancestral property of the Luo family. It was confiscated during the Great Revolution and was finally recovered. He was reluctant to sell the house, but residential properties don't fetch good prices and are difficult to sell. Luo Kangcheng's medical treatment is not a matter of one or two years, so only by selling the storefront can he survive for a few more years.

Uncle Luo didn't want to sell the house to someone else, but he felt it was fate that it was sold to Chu Yu.

He felt that this girl was extraordinary after only one meeting. Only a few months later, she was able to afford a three-story house.

Aunt Zeng stared at her husband in confusion, and Uncle Luo told her what had happened. Aunt Zeng then suddenly understood.

"We've heard Lao Luo mention this before, who would have thought there would be such a coincidence? We're relieved to sell this house to you. We hope you manage it well and maintain it properly. It'll make us feel at ease when we pass by on our way to buy groceries."

Chu Yu nodded. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of the house now that it's in my hands. If you want to go back and visit, I'll open the door for you anytime."

Uncle Luo pressed his fingerprint on the document, and the two of them signed it, thus completing the document.

"Autumn is here, and the night-shining sand isn't selling well anymore. How do you make a living now?" Uncle Luo asked.

Chu Yu said that her family ran a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop near the entrance of Dezhong.

Uncle Luo knew this area like the back of his hand, and Shu's Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) was really famous. The neighbors often went there to eat. Uncle Luo knew about the shop and heard that she was in her final year of high school at Dezhong High School. He felt that her life was on track and she had a future, so he was very happy for her.
