Chapter 40 Renting a House



Chu Qingshan acted quickly. After talking to his daughter, he went out and went to her former school to inquire.

Chu Yun’s task today is to go out and find a house.

Li Lihua naturally wanted to go with her daughter. Aunt Jiang and Chu Yu were not used to staying in the hotel and wanted to go out and see the world.

The four of them acted together and went out to ask locals about the house.

There is strength in numbers, and we managed to look at quite a few vacant houses in just one morning.

There are tube-shaped buildings and suites in the courtyard. The rent is not very expensive, it can be said to be very cheap, but the privacy is not good and there are many people and eyes.

In the end, Chu Yun chose a house with its own entrance and courtyard.

The house is a courtyard house, medium in size, and its advantage is that it is located in the center of the area.

The yard is owned by an old couple, who require annual rent. It was originally occupied by their son and daughter-in-law. After the couple went abroad a few years ago, they wrote to them last year saying they would not be coming back, and asked the old couple to sell the house and transfer the money to them.

But there was no suitable buyer this year, so the house became vacant and was wasted, so I decided to rent it out first.

The rent is 600 yuan a year, which is 50 yuan a month. To be honest, it’s not cheap.

The landlord couple is still planning to sell the house. If there is a suitable buyer, they will sell it and refund the remaining rent.

Li Lihua frowned when she heard this and wanted to discuss it with her daughter again. What if the house was sold just after she moved in? That would be a lot of trouble.

Chu Yun had thought about buying a house in Beijing. After hearing these requirements, she casually asked, "How much does it cost to buy this house?"

"40,000 yuan. This is my son and daughter-in-law's wedding room. My daughter-in-law decorated this yard. The furniture is brand new and has hardly been used. This yard is very comfortable to live in, so I won't bargain."

This price is definitely expensive among houses of the same type. With this money, you can buy a bigger house.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been sold for a year.

The price is not cost-effective for people of this era, but Chu Yun, as a modern person, has seen the extremely high housing prices in later generations, and calls it a bargain.

Unfortunately, she only has 6,000 yuan in her pocket and can't afford it now.

Chu Yun glanced at the yard and said, "Uncle and Auntie, I'm sorry, but with your method, it's unlikely to be rented out. People rent a house for a stable place to live. You might have to kick them out soon. Who would dare to rent it?"

After saying that, Chu Yun shook her head pretending to be emotional.

Li Lihua also nodded. "Your house is nice, but the rent is more expensive than other places. It's a little bit more expensive, but it's still not a safe place to live. You should look for somewhere else."

The old man and woman were locals, and their houses were all their own. They had never rented a house.

Many people came to see the house this year, but most of them were scared away by the price. It was hard to find someone who didn't negotiate the price.

Seeing that the couple was about to leave again, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious. They hurriedly said, "Our house hasn't been sold for a year. Who knows if you can live here for a long time. If we really want to sell it, we will notify you in advance and give you time to find a house. We won't kick you out directly."

Chu Yun didn't say anything after hearing this. No wonder the house couldn't be rented out or sold. The rent and purchase prices were not cheap in the first place. After hearing what the two old people said, no one would want to rent it.

However, compared to some landlords who trick tenants into joining and then inform them when they sell the house later, these two old people are obviously more honest.

Chu Yun had been shopping all morning and was hungry and tired. She didn't want to look at any more houses, so she considered the needs of both parties.

I started to discuss with the old man and his wife: "How about this, we rent it for three months first, and then I'll buy the house. You don't have to look for anyone else. If you agree, we can sign the contract today."

When Chu Yun said this, not only the old man and woman opposite were stunned, but even Li Lihua and Aunt Jiang were shocked.

40,000 yuan is an astronomical figure for people who earn only a few dozen yuan a month.

"Xiaoyun,"

Li Lihua subconsciously wanted to say something, but when she met her daughter's gentle and resolute gaze, she swallowed the rest of the words.

Yes, although 40,000 yuan is a lot, their daughter is capable, after all, they have seen it with their own eyes.

Chu Yun and her mother smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. If I can say it, I'm sure I can do it."

There are more opportunities to make a fortune in big cities than in small towns. If you can earn 800 yuan in 10 days in a small town, you will only earn more in big places.

Moreover, she now has several thousand yuan in her hands, and she can make several times over in three months, so 40,000 yuan is not a big deal.

The woman across the street swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously, "Girl, can you really buy this? You won't live here for three months and then leave to cheat us, right?"

Chu Yun smiled and said, "The contract is legally binding. If you're worried, you can write in the contract that if you don't buy after three months, I'll compensate you 500 yuan. No matter how you calculate it, you two won't suffer any loss."

Seeing that the girl had a cheerful personality, the old man quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, that's not what we mean. If you really want to buy my house, I won't charge you any rent for the next three months. As long as you decide to buy it in three months, I'll sign the contract with you now."

The aunt also nodded excitedly, "Don't worry, young lady. Our house is very good. Because it is for our son and daughter-in-law to live in, the building materials and materials used are the best. The furniture is custom-made by experienced craftsmen and all made of the finest wood."

After that, the old lady took them to the west side of the yard and pointed to a small house. She said, "My daughter-in-law is a teacher in the Department of Architecture. When she built the house, she designed it herself. I don't know how she did it, but in winter, she lit a stove in each room and heated every room. The house is not cold at all in winter."

Chu Yun's eyes lit up. Isn't this similar to underfloor heating? She walked over curiously to take a look.
