He Tiantian transmigrated. The moment she opened her eyes, she became the most bullied daughter-in-law in Changfeng Village. Her husband died in a mining accident three months ago, and her wicked m...
Once the idea of buying a house takes hold, it grows stronger and stronger.
He Tiantian felt that the shop was a bit small, and now that there were so many people, there wasn't enough room to sit in the main hall at all.
Once we buy a new house, the whole family can move there.
The new house shouldn't be too far away; it's best if it's close to the shop.
This way, after finishing my work at the store, I can walk a few steps to go home and rest, which is quite convenient.
If you want to buy a house, you have to find a real estate agent. These are shops that specialize in selling second-hand houses. They have a lot of houses for sale, and you can find one that He Tiantian is satisfied with.
He Tiantian remembered that there was a real estate transaction center on this street, and she planned to go and take a look tomorrow morning.
He Tiantian didn't tell anyone about her idea of buying a house, and she didn't plan to.
Being able to afford a house in the city is something only one family in Changfeng Village can do.
He Tiantian has already opened a shop, but she tells everyone that the shop is rented and she has to pay rent every month.
If you say you bought a house, wouldn't that just invite people to be jealous for no reason?
So she planned to say that she was going to rent a house.
The next day, she informed the restaurant staff and then went out alone.
Everyone agreed that renting a house was the only option, since there wasn't enough room for everyone!
Zhao Yanniang and Chen Shi were used to being frugal, and they felt that they would have to pay more rent every month. But with so many people, there really wasn't enough room upstairs.
Before leaving, He Tiantian and the other two repeatedly told her to just rent a cheaper place, and that they would make do.
He Tiantian nodded in agreement, but in her heart she was determined to buy a bigger mansion.
Regardless of the era, owning property will always appreciate in value.
With that thought in mind, He Tiantian went alone to a real estate transaction center in the alley.
From the outside, three or four burly men were sitting inside, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds as if they had nothing to do.
He Tiantian hesitated for a moment before cautiously walking in.
As soon as she entered, the three or four men immediately jumped up from their stools and came to greet her.
"Young sir, are you buying or selling a house?"
"If all else fails, we can rent a place. Our shop is the biggest in the whole county."
"Yes, yes, young customer, we have everything you could want. And the prices are absolutely fair."
He Tiantian was invited inside and sat down, and a broker surnamed Zhang kindly poured her a bowl of water.
But she looked at the bowl... and wasn't sure if it was clean, so she didn't dare drink from it.
He Tiantian coughed and asked, "I want to buy a house, not too big. But it would be best if it were quiet in the surrounding area. As for the location, it would be fine within a radius of about 500 meters of this alley."
When the real estate agents heard this, they realized that the person wanted to buy a house! This was a lucrative business opportunity.
The real estate agent surnamed Zhang was the most enthusiastic, saying, "Young lady, you've come to the right place. There are seven or eight houses for sale around here."
"Yes, our land is in a good location, and the houses sell quickly. You should act fast."
"By the way, ma'am, do you have time to go see a house now? We can take you there right now!"
He Tiantian nodded; she had come to look at the apartment today.
If she's satisfied, she can finalize the deal today.
There were only four men in the shop. Two of them stayed behind to watch the shop, while the other two took the keys and led the way.
Although I just want to find a nice house nearby, it will take quite a walk to see them all.
This real estate agent provides excellent service; they have their own oxcart to take guests to view properties.
He Tiantian had a great time sitting on the oxcart, listening to the broker's introduction.
"Auntie, do you have any price expectations for buying this house?"
He Tiantian thought for a moment, "I don't want anything too expensive, I can't afford anything too expensive."
Fang Yazi was surprised by He Tiantian's words and chuckled awkwardly, "Then how much would it cost?"
He Tiantian countered, "So what are the prices of secondhand houses now?"
This was her first time buying a house through a real estate agent. Although they all provided excellent service, He Tiantian still kept her own eyes open.
So that people won't take advantage of her like a fat sheep.
Zhang Yazi was fairly honest, and said sincerely, "To tell you the truth, Auntie, business in our shop isn't easy these days. The taxes are too heavy, and everyone is having a hard time."
"Buying a house now is mostly driven by necessity, so the number of transactions is decreasing. However, the prices in this area you mentioned are generally higher, with even the smallest houses starting at two hundred taels..."
Two hundred taels...
He Tiantian did a rough calculation and found that the shop she bought earlier was more expensive than the house.
However, there's not much to compare between the two, as shops are inherently more expensive than residences.
"Alright then, let's go take a look at the two hundred tael one first."
"Alright!" Zhang Yazi quickened his pace in driving the oxcart.
The oxcart soon arrived at a narrow alley, but because the alley was too narrow, the oxcart could not get in.
So the three of them had no choice but to get out of the car and walk inside.
I had only gone halfway when a bucket of water was suddenly poured in the middle of the road ahead.
With a splash, a basin of water was poured onto the bluestone slab, splashing everywhere.
Fortunately, He Tiantian dodged quickly and her clothes didn't get wet; only her shoes got wet.
She frowned slightly; the alleys here were paved with stone slabs, which looked quite smooth.
However, these stone slabs were all damp, which shows that whenever the people living on both sides had dirty water, they would throw it at their doorsteps.
