Chapter 247 Ten Thousand Dollars
Lin Yuzhu nodded after hearing this and said that they could talk about it later. Then she followed him into the room and took a quick look.
The room was very empty at this moment, with almost nothing in it. There was only a simple set of tables and chairs in the main living room as soon as you entered the door, and the master bedroom only had a shabby bed and a box for clothes.
The remaining rooms were probably not occupied and were very empty.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzhu couldn't help but ask, "Did you move all your things away in advance?"
The homeowner shook his head. "No, it was like this when I came back. The furniture in the house was all mahogany, and there were some antiques, but they were all sold. When I came back, there was nothing left. The ones I have now were bought by me at the trust store. I didn't buy the others because I didn't need them."
"Is that so?" Lin Yuzhu felt a little emotional after hearing this. "Are you the only one in your family?"
The homeowner shook his head and said, "No, there is also my child. He was sent down with me and my wife. After he was rehabilitated, he was called abroad by his uncle and now plans to settle down there.
Originally I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay in the country to accompany my lover, but things have changed. My lover died early and is buried in my hometown. I don't have a house there. Living in this house makes me feel even more uncomfortable. So I simply sold it and went abroad to be with my children.
I heard from Xiao Wang that you can pay in US dollars, so I will let you see it first. My house is intact and you can just move in after buying it. It has property rights, and I can transfer the ownership directly after the negotiation is completed. "
Lin Yuzhu nodded after listening to this. Although she felt a little sympathetic towards the homeowner's situation, there had been so many similar incidents in the past ten years that she couldn't say anything.
Turning her head to look at Zhao Yanshu, she was actually quite satisfied with the house. Such a large and complete house was indeed rare, and the location was also good. Just like the owner said, he would have no trouble selling it.
Zhao Yanshu nodded and let her make the decision.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzhu asked directly: "How much do you want to bid, sir?"
The homeowner thought for a moment and said, "I won't ask you for more. If you can give me USD, just give me 10,000."
"Ten thousand US dollars?" That is twenty thousand Chinese yuan. Lin Yuzhu was surprised.
"Isn't this a bit expensive? Don't think we are young and don't understand. I work at the Housing Authority. A while ago, a courtyard house near the Forbidden City was sold for just over 20,000 yuan. That one is not better than your location!"
The homeowner calmly said, "But mine is different. My house is bigger than the ordinary one. It has 15 rooms in total, including the main house and the wing rooms. Each room is not small.
And we also renovated the toilet and washroom. I saw these when I was abroad and renovated them after returning. They are still not outdated now. It would take a lot of time and money for you to renovate them yourself, and you may not have the skills. "
Lin Yuzhu fell silent after hearing this. She was indeed very satisfied with this toilet and bathroom, but it would cost 10,000 US dollars, or 20,000 Chinese yuan, at once. Although they were rich now, they still felt distressed.
Besides, she has the common mentality of ordinary people in China. She wants to bargain for everything she does, and she will feel uncomfortable if she fails to get the price.
At this time, the owner saw that she was hesitant, thought for a moment, and continued: "This house is an heirloom of my family. There is a basement in the west room. It is very hidden and spacious. Whether it is used as a storage room or a cellar, it is convenient to store food and vegetables."
Lin Yuzhu became interested when she heard this. "Really? There's a cellar? Can I go take a look?"
