Sun Yuqi also felt that Lin Muren’s complaints were correct. They were really stupid. They didn’t ask around and just went looking for it. How long would it take for them to find it? However, this was not the time to think about this. It all depended on whether they could successfully buy a house tomorrow.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muran had breakfast early and waited in the lobby of the guesthouse.
Yesterday, Sun Yuqi had almost figured out the background of this staff member. The staff member's surname was Liao, and her name was Liao Xuemei. She was 21 years old and still unmarried. The relatives she mentioned were her great-grandfather's family.
After handing over the shift, Liao Xuemei walked up to Sun Yuqi and said.
"Come on, let's go over there!"
On the way to see the house, Liao Xuemei asked hesitantly.
"Sister Sun, I forgot to ask you last night. If there is a small villa, could you afford it?"
Sun Yuqi paused, looked at Lin Muren, and asked again.
"Sister Mei, what do you mean? Could it be that the house you showed us today is a small Western-style building?"
Liao Xuemei waved her hands hurriedly.
"You misunderstood. The house I'm taking you to see today isn't a small Western-style building, but a house in an alley in our old Zhonghai City. It's also my great-grandfather's house. The reason I asked you if you could buy the small Western-style building is mainly because I have a relative who used to be a capitalist. They went overseas before liberation, and the small Western-style building was taken away a few years ago. It was returned a while ago, and we've already contacted that relative. They want us to help sell the house, but it's not cheap, so I'm just asking."
After hearing this, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren finally understood. Lin Muren didn't have any idea about it because she had no money at the moment. Sun Yuqi was somewhat tempted, but she needed to wait until she saw the house before making a decision.
Under the guidance of Liao Xuemei, Sun Yuqi and her companion came to an alley, walked all the way to the deepest part of the alley, stopped, and pointed to a small second floor.
"This is it. This is my great-grandfather's house, but his family is gone. He lives in the countryside now. He wants to sell this house and use the money to support his retirement."
Led by Liao Xuemei, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren looked around the small second floor. The house was not very big, only about 100 square meters, and the outer wall of the house looked quite dilapidated due to wind and rain. Sun Yuqi frowned.
"Sister Mei, this house is a bit too run-down, isn't it? How much would you like to sell it for?"
When Liao Xuemei heard what Sun Yuqi said, her heart sank. She knew that the house looked too dilapidated, so she thought about it and said.
"My great-grandfather said at the time that the minimum price for this house couldn't be less than 10,000 yuan."
After running around for the past few days, Sun Yuqi did gain something. She found out that the current housing prices in Zhonghai City are cheaper than those in Beijing. After all, Beijing is the capital of the country, and Zhonghai City is just an ordinary city.
"Sister Mei, to be honest, this house is a bit too old. If I buy it, I can only give you 8,000 yuan at most. Any more is not worth it. You can see that if I want to live in this house, I'm afraid it will cost me a lot of money to clean it up."
Liao Xuemei also knew that Sun Yuqi was right. After thinking for a long time, she nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, eight thousand is eight thousand. Let's go and handle the formalities now."
Sun Yuqi nodded and followed Liao Xuemei to complete the transfer procedures. They handed over the money and the house at the same time, and the process was very quick.
"Sister Sun, do you still want to see my relative's small Western-style building? If you do, let's go there right now."
Sun Yuqi was in a good mood because she had bought the house. When she heard Liao Xuemei ask this, she said.
"Okay, let's go check it out."
The three of them came to the small Western-style building again and walked to the street where they had walked yesterday.
"Sister Mei, is this the house you're talking about?"
Liao Xuemei was in a good mood because she had sold a house, and she smiled.
"Yes, it's not far ahead."
After about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at a small Western-style building with its own entrance and courtyard.
"It's this building, three stories high. My relative was a wealthy man in Zhonghai before he went abroad. In 1948, his family left Zhonghai and went abroad. Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. My mother told me that his family had many businesses in Zhonghai at that time."
As she spoke, Liao Xuemei opened the door and the three of them walked in. It was called a small Western-style building, but there were lawns and gardens in front and behind it. However, it had been neglected over the years and was now overgrown with weeds.
After Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren looked carefully at the small western-style building and its surroundings, they came out and saw Liao Xuemei standing in the yard in a daze.
"Sister Mei, we've taken a fancy to this house. Please give us a reasonable price. If you can accept it, we'll buy it."
Liao Xuemei looked at Sun Yuqi and felt sad in her heart, where did this prodigal girl come from? She just bought the house in front, and that house cost 8,000 yuan. Liao Xuemei felt it was incredible. You know, her monthly salary is only more than 20 yuan now. She doesn’t know how long it will take her to save 8,000 yuan?
But now this girl actually fell in love with this small Western-style house. You know, this is not the house that costs 8,000 yuan, this one costs more than 60,000 yuan!
However, Liao Xuemei quickly recovered and said with a smile.
"Sister Sun, you've also seen this small Western-style building. It has three floors, each with two or three rooms, a total of more than a dozen rooms, and the total price is 65,000 yuan."
Sun Yuqi understood what Liao Xuemei meant and said with a smile.
"Sister Mei, these are just small matters. It's almost noon now. Let's go back first. I still need time to prepare the money. We can go to trade directly this afternoon."
Liao Xuemei also knew that more than 60,000 yuan was not a small amount of money, and she still needed to prepare some money, so she nodded in agreement.
After returning to the guesthouse, Sun Yuqi asked Lin Muran to wait for her there while she went to get the money.
Although Lin Muren was curious about where Sun Yuqi got the money, she didn't ask much.
After lunch in the afternoon, Sun Yuqi was holding a noodle bag in her hand, which contained 65,000 yuan.
That afternoon, Sun Yuqi looked at a piece of paper in her hand and smiled.
"This trip was not in vain. I bought two houses in one day. From now on, I will have real estate in Zhonghai City. I just have to wait for the value to appreciate in the future."
Lin Muren, who had just returned from washing her face outside, looked at the smile on Sun Yuqi's lips.
"Okay, are you satisfied now? I finally bought a house. I have to talk to grandpa when I get back to see if I can buy a house in Zhonghai City as well."
Sun Yuqi supports her on this point.
"Well, it's cheaper to buy it early, but it's better to hurry up, otherwise the price will definitely be much higher in a few years!"
