Chapter 459
Zhong Lan also whispered, "I'm quite satisfied with this house, even though it's a bit far away, but this is all the money I have. If Cui Li buys this house, I'll buy the one next door. But, like her, I'm also worried about not being able to get rid of the tenants. Even if I call my two brothers, they won't be able to handle so many tenants."
Ye Fuyue patted her chest and smiled brightly, "I'm very experienced in evicting tenants. If you're satisfied with this house, feel free to bargain with the landlord. No matter how difficult or shameless those tenants are, I have a way to evict them."
Zhong Lan and Cui Li trust Ye Fuyue very much.
Ye Fuyue never brags. Since she said so, she must have a way to drive those tenants away.
Therefore, Cui Li went to bargain with the landlord with confidence.
"Comrade, I really like this house, but it might be difficult to get those tenants to move out." Cui Li said, "Eighteen hundred. If you agree, I'll buy it."
The landlord looked embarrassed: "You cut the price by 200 in one go, that's too harsh."
"These two hundred dollars isn't enough for me to get those tenants to move out." Cui Li said, "If you think it's too expensive, forget it. Find someone who wants to buy a house and can afford to get so many tenants to move out."
After saying that, Cui Li pulled Ye Fuyue and Zhong Lan and pretended to leave.
"Okay, okay, eighteen hundred is eighteen hundred." The landlord said hurriedly, fearing that Cui Li would really leave.
The tenants in his house are more ruthless than the others. If they were not so difficult to deal with, he would have sold the house long ago.
After agreeing on the price of this house, Ye Fuyue and her group went to another house.
Zhong Lan used the same house and also cut down the price by more than 200 yuan, and finally bought the house for 1,670 yuan.
When they came out of the Housing Authority, Zhong Lan and Cui Li were both very excited when they held their housing papers respectively.
Neither of them had ever thought that one day they would own a house of their own - not their husband's family's house, nor their parents' family's house, but a house that belonged to them alone.
This feeling was so good, as if all the misfortunes and efforts they had suffered before were for this moment.
"If I have money, I would like to buy a house!" said Cui Li.
Zhong Lan smiled and nodded: "Me too. Now I can understand Fu Yue's feelings when she bought the small house and the shop."
Ye Fuyue smiled sweetly and said, "Yeah, buying a house can be addictive."
They all laughed.
"By the way, Fu Yue, do you have any way to get those tenants to move out?" Cui Li asked.
Ye Fuyue told Zhong Lan and Cui Li how she had asked the tenants to move out overnight.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li were stunned when they heard it, but they both laughed after hearing it.
"Is it possible?" Cui Li said she had learned something.
Zhong Lan smiled and said, "It's you, Fu Yue, who has the solution."
Ye Fuyue raised her chin proudly and accepted the compliment.
"Then please Fu Yue, please invite those five people to perform again." Zhong Lan said, "I will pay for the five people myself."
"Me too." Cui Li followed.
"Okay." Ye Fuyue nodded in response.
"What are you talking about? You are laughing so happily." An aunt passed by them and said to them with a smile.
This auntie lived near their bun shop and often came to buy buns and sweet soup. Ye Fuyue and the others were very familiar with her. Every time she came to buy buns, Zhong Lan and Cui Li would chat with her briefly. Ye Fuyue and the others called her Auntie Ye.
When Aunt Ye found out that Ye Fuyue's last name was also Ye, she smiled and said, "So we're from the same family! Why don't I have a daughter-in-law as beautiful and good at making money as you?"
At this moment, seeing Aunt Ye, Ye Fuyue and the others all greeted her with a smile.
"Now that you're all out, is the shop still open?" Aunt Ye asked.
"No, it's closed." Cui Li replied.
"What could possibly make you close your shop?" Aunt Ye said with a smile.
Ye Fuyue and the others all smiled and said vaguely, "Something's going on."
Seeing that they had nothing to say, Aunt Ye stopped asking and left after chatting briefly for a few minutes.
As soon as Aunt Ye returned home, she was stopped by Aunt Zhou next door.
"Did you know? Xiaoyue's bun shop is closed this afternoon."
Aunt Ye saw her mysterious look and smiled, "I know, I ran into the three of them when I came back just now."
"Then do you know what they did after closing the shop?" Aunt Zhou asked.
Aunt Ye thought Aunt Zhou was asking her, so she answered truthfully, "I don't know. I asked them, but they didn't tell me."
"I didn't expect them to be so tight-lipped." Aunt Zhou said, then added curiously, "I know what they were doing."
"How do you know?" Aunt Ye asked with a smile.
"Of course someone saw them. I heard about it too." Aunt Zhou said, then added mysteriously, "You'll never guess what they were doing."
"What are they doing?" Aunt Ye asked.
"Buy a house." Aunt Zhou said these two words solemnly.
"Comrade Xiao Ye, are you buying a house?" Aunt Ye asked.
Everyone already knew that Xiaoyue Baozi Shop was opened by Ye Fuyue, so Aunt Ye’s first reaction was that Ye Fuyue went to buy a house.
"No," Aunt Zhou shook her head. "If she were to buy a house, would I be so surprised?"
Aunt Zhou paused before continuing, "Xiao Zhong and Xiao Cui went to buy a house."
"They two... bought a house?" Aunt Ye was surprised.
"Yeah, you're surprised, aren't you?" Aunt Zhou said. "I was surprised too when I first heard about it. Aren't they the handymen that Comrade Xiao Ye hired? How did they even have the money to buy a house?"
Although everyone knew that Ye Fuyue was the owner of Xiaoyue Baozi Shop, few people knew what roles Zhong Lan and Cui Li played in the shop. They just thought that they were workers hired by Ye Fuyue and that she provided them with accommodation.
"Where can they buy a house?" Aunt Ye asked.
"I heard it's quite far from here, but the house is not cheap either. It costs about a thousand yuan per set." Aunt Zhou said.
"Do they have so much money?" Aunt Ye was puzzled.
"That is to say, it's impossible that Comrade Xiao Ye lent them money to buy a house. Even if Comrade Xiao Ye is rich, he is not a sucker." Aunt Zhou said: "Besides, they are both divorced and have children. How much salary can the bun shop pay them? Where did they get so much money to buy a house?"
Aunt Ye had some other thoughts in her mind.
"Are you sure it was Zhong Lan and Cui Li who bought the house, not Ye Fuyue?"
"I'm sure. I confirmed it several times with the person who told me this," Aunt Zhou said. "That person saw with his own eyes that it was Zhong Lan and Cui Li who bought the house."
"Can you get so rich just by selling buns these days? My husband has worked in a factory his whole life, and neither he nor I have saved this much money."
Aunt Zhou was still chattering away, but Aunt Ye had a thoughtful look on her face and stopped talking.
