Su Qingci nodded. "Alright, I've seen the house. How much do you want?"

The wives exchanged glances and looked up at the men standing behind them. Finally, it was the old man of the family, Zhang Yanxu, who spoke.

"Young lady, since you've seen it, you should know that the houses in this location are all top-notch."

"We don't need much, so it's a fixed price of 3800."

Although Song Jingzhou was prepared, he was still taken aback. "3800? Why don't you just rob us?"

"This looks to be less than 200 square meters. How good can the location be? We just saw a 200-square-meter apartment at the intersection of West Street. It's also on the street, and it costs 1,800 yuan per square meter. It's bigger than yours, and it's more than half the price."

Looking at Song Jingzhou's attitude, Zhang Yanxu said calmly, "We have shops in front of this house, and you don't need to clear out the house."

Song Jingzhou pointed at Ping Tou Rou, "Do you know him? If we're looking at houses with him, do we really need to clear the area ourselves?"

"Besides, what's the use of a shop? You can't do business here. If you hand it over to the neighborhood committee, you'll only get two or three yuan a month, and you still have to pay property tax."

Zhang Yanxu and his sons exchanged glances, thinking he was just a nouveau riche who knew nothing, but they didn't expect him to be an expert.

"Then you name a price."

"Let's discuss it."

Song Jingzhou pulled Su Qingci aside and asked, "Do you like it?"

"You like it? Shall we buy it?"

"We definitely have to buy it!"

“Let me tell you, that old man is obviously a shrewd person. Believe me or not, if you agree to 3800 right away, they will immediately feel that they are losing money and want to raise the price.”

"Didn't you see that the whole family is here waiting? They're just waiting for a sucker."

"Moreover, the price they quoted was indeed too high, even though the house was really nice and we certainly didn't need the money."

"So how much should we say?"

"If this were in Liuhuai Lane, 1,000 yuan would be too high. Even at the entrance of West Street, it would only be around 2,000 yuan. But this location is really good, and it even has a well. The shop can't do business now, but if it can do business in the future, it will definitely be a good shop. Look, there's an intersection of several major roads in front."

"How about we just pay 2800? We'll wait for them to lower the price a bit, then we'll give them 3000!"

"Anyway, it's still possible to get it for around 3000!"

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

"Uncle Zhang, we've discussed it, it's 2800, you can get the money right away."

“This honey badger still has four or five sets he hasn’t looked at yet. If it doesn’t work out, let’s take another look.”

Before Grandpa Zhang could speak, his sons and daughters-in-law started making a scene.

"That's too low, 2800. Look at our house, it's clean and tidy. You don't need to do anything, you can move in right away. It's convenient to go to the street, and there's an outhouse and a well. The yard isn't big, but it has a shop. Even if you rent it out, you can earn 30 to 50 yuan a year. A family living in this house won't starve."

Zhang Yanxu raised his hand to stop his sons and daughters-in-law from jeering. "Young comrade, 2800 is indeed too low. To be honest, we've seen this house at several other places before, and almost every one of them liked it, but we just couldn't agree on the price."

Zhang Yanxu's ancestors were also scholars, very refined.

"Hey, this house, I watched it being built with my own eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the tree has grown big and branched out, I wouldn't have been willing to sell it."

"Okay, I'll compromise further, 3600, is that alright? If so, while the housing authority is still open, we can complete the formalities right away. Give us three to five days, and we can vacate the house for you in three to five days!"

Song Jingzhou pretended to be in a dilemma for a moment, "Sir, to be honest with you, we really have our eye on this house. How about this, let's compromise, 3000."

Grandpa Wang looked down and did the math: three thousand. With four sons, each son could get 750. That would be enough to settle down somewhere. His house was indeed nice, but at this time, not many people could afford to spend so much money.

He glanced at his sons with a complicated expression. Whether he took the money to buy or rent, it would be impossible to find such a good location again.

“3200, as you can see, I have four sons. To be frank, this money is for them to divide the family property and settle down. Eight hundred for each family is an auspicious number. At the same time, I hope that the two young comrades can live in harmony and have many children and grandchildren after moving in.”

Upon seeing her father-in-law's expression, the eldest daughter-in-law immediately showered him with compliments, "Yes, yes, the two young men are a perfect match, both talented and capable. They are a match made in heaven. Moving in here will surely bring them smooth sailing and happiness."

Song Jingzhou had originally intended to haggle, but after hearing this flattery, he was really pleased.

"Qingci, what do you think?"

Su Qingci met his sparkling eyes, pursed her lips, and nodded.

“Oh dear, our original budget was 3,000 at most, but what the old man and the eldest sister said really resonated with me, so 3,200 it is.”

Flatheaded Meat looked delighted. "Let's take advantage of the early hour and get things done quickly."

As he spoke, Flat-Headed Meat winked at Large Intestine, who quickly stepped forward and whispered to the old man, "Grandpa, hurry up, lest those two young comrades change their minds later. We watched them withdraw the money; it's not easy to find such big spenders again."

The other party's two sons were even more anxious than their father, saying, "Dad, this young man is right, it's best to get the money as soon as possible."
