Chapter 418
So, Ye Fuyue and Cai Chunxing made an appointment to go and see the shop on this day off.
On the day off, Chen Yao and Ye Fuyue went together. When Haohao Ranran and Qiqi saw them, they wanted to go too.
Ye Fuyue held Qiqi in her arms and said to the three children, "Mom and Dad are just going to check out the house first. You can go after we buy it."
Chen Guifeng also said, "You are at home with grandma and uncle. Go and play with uncle."
Shen Shun, who had been trying to take a break from his busy schedule, felt his scalp tingle when he heard Chen Guifeng's words. He was about to sneak away when he was discovered by the three little guys.
The three little guys ran over energetically, grabbed him and wouldn't let him go, yelling, "Uncle, uncle, play with us, play with us."
Shen Shun lowered his head weakly: "You three are so energetic."
Then he forced himself to cheer up and asked, "What do you want to play?"
Haohao and Ranran climbed on top of him with ease: "We are going to play horseback riding."
Shen Shun looked as if the sky was about to fall, and pleaded to Shen Yao and Ye Fuyue: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, you must come back soon!"
Ye Fuyue said to him apologetically, "We will definitely be back soon."
After Shen Yao rode his bicycle and took Ye Fuyue out of the compound, Ye Fuyue said to Shen Yao, "Haohao and Ranran are very energetic right now, and they are really annoying. Mr. Shen Shun will help us take care of Haohao and Ranran. When we come back later, let's buy him some delicious food."
Shen Yao said: "There's no need to buy him delicious food. It's not like you haven't bought him clothes and shoes before. He's about to take the college entrance examination. It's better to buy him a few sets of test papers instead of buying him food."
Ye Fuyue: "...You are so cruel."
Shen Yao said indifferently: "I'm doing this for his own good."
Ye Fuyue thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's buy him some delicious food and also buy him some test papers."
"Okay." Shen Yao nodded in agreement.
Ye Fuyue mourned for Shen Shun in her heart for a second, thinking: Shen Shun, I'm sorry, I tried my best, it's not that I want you to do the test.
When Shen Yao drove Ye Fuyue to the agreed location, Cai Chunxing had already arrived, and there was a female comrade standing next to her.
Cai Chunxing introduced her to Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao: "Her family is selling the shop. Her surname is Ding."
Comrade Ding took Cai Chunxing and others to her shop.
As Cai Chunxing had said, the shop's location was indeed excellent, right in the heart of the city. Originally a tavern, the building was later acquired and rented out to various individuals. Although the building had been returned to the Ding family, the tenants refused to move.
"My family is in urgent need of money, so we thought of selling this shop. Otherwise, with such a good location, we would definitely keep it," said Comrade Ding.
"Do you have a way to get the tenants living inside to move out?" Ye Fuyue asked.
"We have tried many ways to get them to move out, but none of them worked. However, they will naturally move out over time. After all, this is not their house, so how can they live here forever?" said Comrade Ding.
Ye Fuyue and Cai Chunxing looked at each other, and Cai Chunxing secretly winked at her.
After walking for a while, they arrived at Comrade Ding's shop.
This shop is on the street, with a small courtyard in the middle and three houses at the back. Now the shop facing the street has been converted into two rooms, each housing two families.
When Comrade Ding brought Ye Fuyue and the others in, the people who were washing clothes and picking vegetables in the yard stopped what they were doing and glared at Ye Fuyue and the others unkindly.
The yard was filled with various ropes, with clothes from various families drying on them. Coal from various families was piled up in the corners. The ground was full of domestic sewage and was muddy, making it difficult to walk.
"How many families live here?" Ye Fuyue asked Comrade Ding.
"Five households." Comrade Ding said.
Ye Fuyue simply stood at the doorway, taking in the size of each room. Every room was occupied, so it was impossible for her to go inside. Even if she could, the rooms were so cluttered that she couldn't make sense of them. Furthermore, the tenants glared at her with hostility, as if she were some kind of monster.
When Ye Fuyue bought a house before, she had always deliberately avoided houses with many tenants. As the saying goes, it is easier to invite a Buddha than to send him away. Those tenants have lived here for so long that they regard the place as their own property. It is very difficult to get them to move out.
However, the location of this shop is indeed very good. In later times, this shop is located in the very center of the city, and the rent is quite expensive.
"How much do you plan to sell it for?" Ye Fuyue asked Comrade Ding.
Comrade Ding said, "Five thousand."
Ye Fuyue asked again: "Does the five thousand include asking all these tenants to move out?"
"Of course not." Comrade Ding said without thinking.
Ye Fuyue smiled: "Then the price is too expensive, I won't buy it."
Comrade Ding said anxiously, "You've seen how great the location is here. It's right in the heart of the city. Like I said earlier, if it weren't for the urgent need for money at home, I would..."
Ye Fuyue interrupted her: "The location here is indeed good, but it also brings a lot of trouble. If your family hadn't tried every possible way to get these tenants to move out, you wouldn't have sold this shop in the first place. If you can't get these tenants to move out, no matter how good the location is, it's useless even if your name is on the property title. This house doesn't truly belong to you. You asked me to spend five thousand on a house that's full of troubles..."
Ye Fuyue paused and said with a smile, "Comrade Ye, I sincerely want to buy the shop, but you don't seem to be sincere about selling it."
Comrade Ding's face turned pale and blue after hearing what Ye Fuyue said.
Her shop, totaling only about 80 to 90 square meters, was also occupied by five tenants. Even with its prime location, her asking price of 5,000 yuan was clearly too high.
Several groups of people had come to see the house before. When they saw that there were so many tenants living in it, all of them looked unfriendly. After hearing the price she quoted, they waved their hands and left without bargaining with her.
She was hoping for a lucky break, thinking that Ye Fuyue might be in a hurry to buy the shop, which was why she asked for such a high price.
Cai Chunxing said, "Fuyue sincerely wants to buy the shop. You just said that you've tried many ways to get these tenants to move out, but to no avail. No matter who buys this shop, the top priority will be how to get these tenants to move out. Because of this, there won't be many buyers willing to buy. If you really want to sell, just be frank and give us your lowest price, otherwise we'll leave."
Comrade Ding thought for a moment and said, "Four thousand eight."
