Chapter 477 Buying the Yard
In fact, Shang Ruoting felt that Jiang Shujing was still better than Shang Ruolian at the time. After all, she had not yet reached the point of being scared to pee.
While having breakfast, Shang Ruoting told Tan Chen about this.
Tan Chen would chuckle from time to time as he listened to his wife's vivid description.
Shang Ruoting knew that playing tricks on Jiang Shujing like this would not solve anything.
However, seeing Jiang Shujing's embarrassed and despised look, she felt relieved.
Tan Chen could see that his wife was in a good mood today.
At noon, the two of them came to the courtyard house they had seen yesterday.
Uncle Li was waiting there early.
Both of them had classes in the first period of the afternoon. In order not to waste time, Tan Chen got straight to the point.
"Uncle Li, have you agreed on the price?"
Uncle Li also seemed to be a straightforward person. He replied, "You, young comrade, are really good at making an offer. My nephew has agreed. As long as the money is in place, he can go with you to the Real Estate Bureau to handle the formalities at any time."
"In that case, I'd like to pay a deposit first and go to Uncle Li's house to write a receipt. How about that?"
Tan Chen also wanted to be on the safe side. Regardless of how much the deposit would be, at least he had given the money to someone else. He knew where his home was, so it would be easier to find him if anything went wrong.
Uncle Li didn't think too much about it. Seeing that the young man was quick to act, he agreed immediately: "Okay, my house is in the first yard of this alley. Let's go there now."
Shang Ruoting quietly took out one thousand yuan from the space and gave it to Uncle Li.
Uncle Li took the money and wrote a receipt for the couple.
At Tan Chen's request, the receipt also stated that the transfer procedures would be carried out immediately after receiving the full payment for the service.
The reason why Tan Chen did not pay the full price of the house immediately was not only because he did not want to be too conspicuous, but also because of the time issue. It would take at least a day to go to the Real Estate Bureau to handle the formalities. After all, he and Shang Ruoting had only been in school for a few days, and taking a day off rashly could easily cause bad consequences.
Tan Chen planned to call Gao Ming and ask him for help. Anyway, the guy was very idle all day and he had not had time to contact him since his family moved to Beijing. This time was a good opportunity to meet him.
When passing by the post office, Tan Chen saw that there was still some time before the afternoon class, so he went to the post office and called Gao Ming.
Shang Ruoting was also worried about the four little ones at home, so she picked up another phone and dialed the Tan family's number.
The person who answered the phone was Jiang Ping.
Ruoting, are you and Tan Chen doing well in school?
"Mom, we are fine, don't worry. Is everything okay at home?"
Everything is fine at home. Your grandfather is busy tending to his greenhouse every day. Your grandmother and I are taking care of the little ones. They are all well behaved and don't cry or make a fuss.
Shang Ruoting felt relieved when she heard that everything was fine at home. As a sign of respect for her elders, she felt that it was necessary to tell Tan Chen in advance about buying a house.
"Mom, Tan Chen and I bought a yard near the school. We just paid the deposit today, but we haven't completed the name change procedures yet."
Jiang Ping was obviously a little unbelievable, especially when she noticed that Shang Ruoting was talking about a yard.
You know, in Beijing, the houses that can be called courtyards are basically those with quadrangle structures, and the prices are not low.
[Ruoting, you said you and Tan Chen bought a yard?]
"Yes, Mom. We bought a courtyard house. Including the yard, it's about 400 square meters. When the time comes, we'll renovate it and you can move in with the children."
The more Jiang Ping listened, the more shocked she became. 400 square meters?
This must cost a lot of money, right?
When her son got married, she and Tan Shaowen were not around, and they did not buy anything for the couple. Thinking of this, Jiang Ping felt a little ashamed.
"Ruoting, I've saved some money. Since you're buying a house, I'll give it all to you. Whether it's enough or not, consider it a token of my appreciation from your father and me."
Shang Ruoting just told Jiang Ping the news, how could she possibly ask for her money?
"Mom, we have our own money. You can save the money for your own use in the future."
【If mom says I’ll give it to you, don’t refuse. 】
Shang Ruoting didn't want to discuss this topic with Jiang Ping on the phone, and she didn't intend to take the old man's money.
"Mom, it's getting late. Tan Chen and I have classes in the afternoon. Let's talk about it when we meet."
Seeing this, Jiang Ping said no more.
[Okay, you guys should focus on your classes.]
After hanging up the phone, I turned around and saw Tan Chen still standing there with the phone in his hand, but he didn't say a word and didn't look like he was on the phone at all.
Shang Ruoting walked over and looked inquiringly.
Tan Chen moved the receiver in his hand and said, "His mother answered the phone and said he was sleeping and asked me to wait a moment."
