Chapter 51 Fishing Village (Part 2)
Shi Qingqing was silent.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with what Yumei said.
"Look at me, you've made the conversation awkward. You want a place with convenient transportation and independence, right? I remember there's one nearby that meets your requirements.
Besides, the landlord went to the Philippines to develop his business, and only comes back to stay for a few days every three to five years. It can be rented or sold. For 3,000 dollars, you can get a two-story yard. "
Shi Qingqing went to take a look and found that the yard had indeed been uninhabited for some time.
The door wasn't even locked.
The wall was low and had several holes in it. Made of a mixture of shellfish and mud, it didn't look like it had much of a substantive 'security' function. At most, it could block the view a little, preventing people from seeing the courtyard clearly from a distance.
There are some very thin branches and unidentified species of seaweed on the ground.
You can see dead insects after walking a few steps.
The whole place is shabby and shows signs of aging.
Although the gate to the courtyard was not locked, all the rooms were locked, and there were quite a few of them. The unlocked front hall seemed to have been visited by children or some animals. It was very messy, and there were obvious signs of trampling on the tables and chairs.
There were also traces of scratches on the wooden pillars caused by white lime and a knife.
It seems that there are a lot of disadvantages, but there are also advantages. First of all, there are many rooms. There are two windows on each side of the upstairs floor, corresponding to the three rooms downstairs, a total of six rooms, and there is a hall on each floor.
The yard is bigger than where she lived before and can accommodate a car.
In addition, there are kitchens and toilets, which are not included in the six rooms. Moreover, the dry toilet has been cleaned and there is no dirt left.
Moreover, the walls are quite solid, and it can be seen that the house is built with good stone. It can still be lived in after some tidying up.
It’s not expensive to buy it for three thousand yuan.
You have to know that the new building in the town has not yet been completed, but it has already been sold at more than one thousand yuan per square meter.
Three thousand yuan is only enough to buy a kitchen even if you buy a second-hand house in town.
"They invested in a house in town two years ago, so this is where they put some sundries. If you buy it, someone will clear out all the sundries. Three thousand is really a good deal. You can spend another two or three hundred to repair it, and this big yard will be yours."
Shi Qingqing didn't have exactly three thousand, so it was still a little short.
So I decided to look at other ones.
As a result, after going around in circles, there were five or six more people in the group accompanying me to view the house, but the one I looked at at the beginning was still the most suitable.
The person who accompanied me to view the house took the key and opened the doors of the rooms one by one. The rooms were all similar. The four rooms were filled with all kinds of sundries, and even unwanted old clothes were scattered around.
There is a big bed in both the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms, which is a bit like the beds used by ladies in ancient movies. The wood is very thick and heavy, and people can stand on it and jump up without reaching their heads.
It's hard to shake, let alone make a creaking sound.
Shi Qingqing likes it very much.
The agent is a junior of the landlord. He said that the rent should be $150 a year, but the structure of the house and the furniture cannot be damaged.
By this calculation, it is actually a good deal to buy this house. However, Shi Qingqing had previously felt that Yumei was a bit too enthusiastic in recommending this house, so she chatted with the aunt who was handling matters on behalf of the landlord and learned something.
This is the homestead.
The homestead cannot be sold.
Even the landlord only has the right to use the property and cannot sell it a second time.
It's not impossible for her to buy it, but the village committee needs to handle it, and she also needs to register her household registration. But this is not only complicated and unsafe, but it also costs tens of thousands of yuan and may not be successful. Not only that, she also needs to spend extra money on the homestead.
The trouble is that even if you throw in 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, it may not be able to eliminate the hidden dangers.
Generally, relatives and friends introduced by local people who want to settle here will say that the lease contract is actually written for several decades, and as long as the buyer does not make a final decision, it is no different from buying it.
Shi Qingqing sighed, fortunately she didn't force herself to scrape together three thousand yuan, otherwise it would have been a big pit.
One hundred and fifty is not expensive. It is probably because this place looks run-down and no one has taken care of it, so the price is so high.
Shi Qingqing wanted it urgently, but on the surface she said that she would come over first and clean up slowly. She successfully signed the handwritten contract and paid one-third of the deposit.
After being given several hundred yuan, Shi Qingqing's first thing after completing the procedures was to buy a lock and lock the courtyard, thereby announcing that someone would live there from now on.
"Then come to me first when you get here. I'll have someone put all the clutter into one room first. You can use the other furniture if you need it, and put the unused ones away."
This means that the clutter takes up a room.
As for renting a house alone, nothing is perfect.
Shi Qingqing saw that it was not late yet and there was enough time for her to take a ride back.
There's still work to do over there.
Shi Qingqing felt relieved and returned to her rental house in town, where she found Zhao Meilan squatting outside the door with red eyelids.
Looks very sad.
Shi Qingqing paused and wanted to turn around and leave, but Zhao Meilan had already seen her. She stood up in a hurry, but stumbled and fell face down.
Shi Qingqing: ...
How long has this been squatting here?
She went over to help the person up, unlocked the door, went into the house and wiped her face with a tissue.
Zhao Meilan grimaced in pain and said with tears in her eyes that she was hungry.
Shi Qingqing had already packed her things, and she wasn't interested in digging them out to make her a meal. "You can see I'm moving away, so I don't have time to cook for you. If you're hungry, go back and eat."
"Then I'll have a bowl of flat noodles."
Shi Qingqing didn't move, but checked other things in the house to see if there was anything she had missed.
"The towels can be put away now." Things still need to be cleaned up and there are fewer things.
No, doesn’t she have a small warehouse?
Even if it’s only 0.1 points a day, it’s not expensive, and the most important thing is that you can travel light!
Now even the trolley can be returned directly. "Then return the trolley and then go to the landlord to get the deposit back."
Shi Qingqing was thinking about tomorrow's arrangements, but Zhao Meilan shouted in surprise. "You're not going to eat with me?"
Shi Qingqing frowned. Why hasn't she left yet?
"I'm not hungry, so I won't go. You can go out by yourself."
"Well, I'll come talk to you after I finish eating." Zhao Meilan looked at Shi Qingqing expectantly and raised her hand with her palm facing up.
Now it was Shi Qingqing's turn to be surprised. "No way, you want me to pay you to eat noodles?"
Her surprise was genuine, without a trace of acting.
Can a person's shamelessness really continue to reach new lows?
Shi Qingqing had a stern face, and didn't even want to maintain the polite appearance. "No need, I'm moving out tomorrow. If you have anything to say, either say it now or don't say it at all."
Zhao Meilan touched her belly and thought of the conflict she had with her eldest brother and sister-in-law at noon. She felt aggrieved. "Second sister-in-law, please save me. They want to tell me about this to someone with crooked eyes and a crooked mouth."
