Chapter 57: Actually, the price isn't expensive.
"You want to buy Old Cao's house?" Master Sun looked at Yao Shula with some surprise.
Yao Shula hummed in agreement, then explained in a low voice.
“His house is right next to the street, and he wants to set up a small stall so that he can take care of his family, both now and in the future.”
Upon hearing Yao Shula's words, Master Sun seemed to have realized something.
Oh, being the eldest sister is tough!
Life is harder for children without parents.
Look at Shura, she could have had a great job, but because she had to take care of her younger siblings, she couldn't work and had to worry about supporting her family.
Master Sun is also the eldest son in his family, and he used to devote himself entirely to his wife's family.
Those days... were tough and exhausting!
Thinking of this, Master Sun felt even more sorry for Yao Shula.
Look, they've even forced the kids to set up stalls.
Master Sun seemed to understand why Yao Shula wanted to buy Lao Cao's house.
It's right next to my house, so even if I get married, I can still take care of my family anytime I live here!
The eldest sister's heart is truly pitiful!
"Shura, don't worry, I'll take the afternoon off and go ask for you. If they want to sell, I'll try to negotiate a lower price for you!" Master Sun immediately agreed.
She definitely has to take care of this.
The youngest son was promoted using Yao Shula's quota. Can she just ignore it?
...
Yao Shula was very confident in Master Sun's efficiency.
Whether at the factory or at home, Master Sun is a very efficient person in both speech and action.
The next evening, Mr. Sun came to Yao Shula's house.
Yao Shula had already eaten with the three younger children in her family and was now watching Yao Shuli do her homework.
After Master Sun arrived, Yao Shula immediately told Yao Shuxin to take the two children to the west room to do their homework.
"Godmother, have some water!" Yao Shula quickly poured a glass of water for Master Sun.
Master Sun didn't stand on ceremony. He took a couple of sips of the drink and then placed the net bag he had brought on the table.
I bought you some tea snacks.
Shura, I've asked you about what you asked me to ask.
Old Cao's family is willing to sell this house, and I told them I wanted to buy it, so they told me the truth.
"That's all for the whole courtyard!" Master Sun held up one finger.
"One thousand?" Yao Shula was a little surprised.
The price she found out from others was 1,200.
To be honest, the price of 1,200 is not expensive, after all, the Cao family's yard is big and the location is there!
However, nowadays very few people would think of spending 1,200 to buy a courtyard.
It's not like we have nowhere to stay.
Even if you live in cramped conditions at home, you can wait for your work unit to allocate you a house!
Isn't it good to keep some money on hand? Just in case there's an emergency at home!
For example, building a house, buying a house for a child's wedding, or other expenses...
"Yes, it's a thousand, Shura, that's not expensive at all."
"Also, Old Cao told me something else, and I think I should tell you about it." Master Sun gently patted Yao Shula's hand.
Yao Shula immediately sat up straight, waiting for Master Sun to explain what had happened.
"The Cao family's background was somewhat problematic in the past."
Many of the houses along this street belong to the Cao family.
Later... as you know, in those days you had to keep a low profile!
The old lady from the Cao family donated many of their houses along the street.
The donation was supposedly given to the government so that it could play a greater role in building a new China.
It was because of this that the Cao family did not suffer much hardship during that era.
Finally, only this one is left, which is the yard next to yours.
"The question now is, have you seen that shop next to Old Cao's courtyard?" Master Sun asked Yao Shula.
Yao Shula nodded immediately.
Of course I know. It's not very big, only about twelve or thirteen square meters. It belongs to the supply and marketing cooperative. The cooperative set up this store here to make life more convenient for the people.
People won't have to go far anymore to buy soy sauce, vinegar, soap, or candy.
"What? That shop's building also belongs to the Cao family?" Yao Shula immediately realized.
Master Sun gave Yao Shula a thumbs up.
This child is very smart.
"That house does indeed belong to Old Cao's family."
It seems like... about five years ago, a cadre from the supply and marketing cooperative came to Old Cao's house and said he wanted to borrow Old Cao's house for a while.
Think about it, five years ago, when was that? Wasn't that when the Cao family had to keep a low profile?
To avoid trouble, the Cao family lent out their house without hesitation.
Now……
We might not be able to get that house back!
So, the place you see in front of Old Cao's house looks quite big, doesn't it? But right next to that open space is that small shop.
Actually, this whole area belongs to the Cao family, but now it's not easy for the Cao family to get that house back.
Shura, if you buy that yard, tear down the original wall and rebuild the original empty space.
"That would make the yard bigger!" Master Sun suggested.
Yao Shula thought for a moment, then realized that the house where the small shop was located belonged to Old Cao's family...
"Does the Cao family have any proof that the house belongs to them?" Yao Shula asked.
"Yes! The original homestead was allocated to the Cao family, so they still have a strong foundation."
Also, you can find out by going to the housing management department.
What? Shura, you still want that house back?
Shura, if you can get the house back... don't do it now.
We'll figure out a solution after you've completed all the formalities.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Master Sun suggested in a low voice.
Yao Shula knew, of course.
If we get that house back, the Cao family will definitely raise the price.
I wouldn't go looking for trouble!
“Okay! As long as there’s a foundation, that’s fine,” Yao Shula said readily.
Master Sun nodded and then asked Yao Shula some questions about what kind of stall she wanted to set up.
Yao Shula only gave a vague answer and didn't go into details.
But Ms. Sun made it clear that no matter what kind of stall she sets up, she will have her family come and support her...
...
Three days later, Master Sun, together with Yao Shula, completed the paperwork for Old Cao's courtyard.
Yao Shula looked at the property certificate in her hand and was overjoyed.
I got a house for only 1,000 yuan.
What's the point of keeping a thousand dollars in a savings bank? You might as well buy a new house!
Yao Shula currently has 800 yuan available for use.
I sold my job for 1,500 yuan, picked up Xiao Tiantian and Lei Jingwu gave me another 200 yuan, plus the 120 yuan subsidy that Yao Guohua returned...
Yes, I have enough money!
After calculating the money she had, Yao Shula thought about how she would have to send another hundred yuan to her Uncle Shu tomorrow.
The three sets of pool tables and those chess pieces also cost money, you know...
