"Ruan Xiaozhi, I just came to look for you."
Ruan Xi's eyes lit up, and she forced out an appropriate smile, "Sister Chen, is there any news?"
Sister Chen nodded and whispered, "My relative's relative is planning to go to Hong Kong to live with his son, so he plans to sell the house before going to Hong Kong."
"It's a private house with a small yard, two bedrooms and a living room. It's nearby, five minutes away from your workplace. Do you have time to go over and take a look?"
Ruan Xi was moved after hearing this. Isn’t this the little house she has been looking forward to?
"If we have time, we can go over and have a look now."
"OK."
Sister Chen took Ruan Xi around two alleys and arrived in front of a private house.
This house looks a bit old. It is an old house built thirty years ago. Even though it has a small courtyard, it is not conspicuous in front of the tube-shaped building in the machinery factory’s family compound opposite.
Sister Chen took out the key and opened the shabby wooden door. She heard a creaking sound and smiled awkwardly, "I can replace this door for you later."
"You're a girl living here, so we'll fix the doors and windows for you."
Ruan Xi responded vaguely and glanced at the small courtyard in front. It felt like a place only as big as a palm, but the layout was relatively small and it didn't feel narrow.
"Sister Chen, how big is this small courtyard?"
"About ten square meters, which is enough for you alone."
"It's bright here, and you can hang clothes in the yard."
"And this corner, you can grow some green onions, cilantro, etc."
Ruan Xi took a look around and found that the kitchen was on the west side of the yard, and the bathroom was beyond the kitchen.
There are three rooms on the front, two of which are bedrooms and the middle one is the main room.
The east wing is larger than the west wing.
"Ruan Xizhi, what do you think of this house?" Sister Chen asked tentatively.
Ruan Xi was very satisfied with it, but was worried that if she showed it to others, they would raise the price. So she could only pretend that she was not very satisfied, saying, "It feels a bit old."
Sister Chen quickly responded: "The only downside to this house is that it's a little old, but the layout and lighting are also good."
Ruan Xi thought for a moment and asked, "How much does it cost exactly?"
"3,500 yuan, payable in full. If there is no problem, the property can be transferred to you tomorrow."
Ruan Xi frowned, "It's too expensive, how can I afford that much money?"
Sister Chen asked: "How much money can you pay?"
"About 2,500."
"2,500 is too little. It should be at least 3,000."
Ruan Xi pursed her lips tightly and said, "I have looked at many houses in the past few days. Compared with them, this one is more suitable for me."
"I want it too, but I don't have enough money."
"2800, see if you can get enough from your family and friends."
"Ruan Xizhi, I think you are an honest person, so I recommend you to buy this house."
"If you miss this village, there will be no such store."
Ruan Xi was silent for a while, and said in a difficult tone: "Well, let's settle it for now. I'll go back and borrow money from everyone."
"I'll try to get 2,800 yuan."
Sister Chen replied, "We only give you one day. If you still haven't collected enough money after one day, then I can only recommend this house to other customers."
"Uh-huh."
Ruan Xi did not dare to delay for too long, and went to find Sister Chen early the next morning, "Sister Chen, I have collected enough money."
