Chapter 164 Buying a House
"Look at it. Anyway, the yard is not small, but the house is a bit old. If it works, let's talk about the price."
An old man with completely white hair took Wen Zhu and Jiang Qin to look at houses.
For Wen Zhu, location is the most important thing. This place is definitely in the city center in the future, and there is huge room for appreciation. When the policies are fully relaxed in the future, this location will be impossible to buy even if you have money.
If it weren't for her master's introduction, she wouldn't have found this place.
After exchanging a glance with her mother, Jiang Qin agreed that it wasn't bad either, mainly because of the location. She had grown up in Beijing and had lived there for eighteen years. If she could buy a place in this area of East and West City, she'd definitely made a killing.
Since Jiang Qin also thinks it's good, then it must be quite good.
Wen Zhu came out of the house and said to the old man, "Grandpa Huang, I think this house suits my taste. What's the price? Let's talk about it."
Old Master Huang looked at Wen Zhu with a smile, "You little girl, you came up and asked me how much the price is. Aren't you afraid that I, an old man, will cheat you out of your money?"
Wen Zhu smiled sweetly, "That depends on the person. My master said you are an old friend of his. We have been friends for many years and we have risked our lives together. How could you possibly cheat a junior like me? It's not necessary. Master said you are not short of money!"
"You are already old, don't joke around. My apprentice is young, don't tease a young girl, hurry up."
Old Man Huang smiled and patted Old Man Wen on the shoulder. "Old buddy, I haven't even mentioned the price yet, and you're already protecting me! Come on, I can tell you he's my legitimate disciple. I'll just tell you the truth."
I didn't want to sell the house originally. It's been here for generations. We fled and found it again. My roots are here.
Now that my son is older and getting married, my wife doesn't like our old house and wants to buy two units of housing from their respective workplaces, one for each of our grandchildren. But I just don't have enough money.
As an old man, I can't just watch and do nothing but help out.
That's why I made up my mind to give up this old house and plan to sell it.
This house, in my heart, is priceless. According to the market price, I wouldn't be willing to sell it even if it's over 100,000. Last time, a girl offered me 110,000, but I didn't sell it.
Old Man Wen stroked his beard and glared, "I told you this is my own disciple. Don't shout out the price, I'm watching! If someone else bids, that's someone else. My disciple is your disciple, isn't that someone else? He's one of us."
Old Master Huang tapped his pipe and glared at Old Man Wen. "Old man, you haven't finished your words yet, what are you trying to grab? Isn't this the market price? Your apprentice is my apprentice. Even if you are short of money, you can't be short of a gift for your child.
Eighty thousand is fine. Twenty thousand less, just consider it as a gift from me, the older generation, to the younger generation."
Wen Zhu and Jiang Qin looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
This price is definitely worth it. And it's not an apartment building, it's a single-family house with a yard and a small vegetable garden next to it.
Wen Zhu loves this one.
Having a vegetable garden and being able to farm the land is good feng shui! This is engraved in the farming genes of flower growers.
Jiang Qin felt that this was not appropriate at all, it was simply a huge profit.
Old Man Wen smiled with his eyes narrowed, and attentively lit a cigarette for his old friend.
"That's more like it. Otherwise, don't play chess with me in the future."
The two old men started arguing with each other after just a few words.
Finally, Wen Zhu bought this small courtyard with a separate entrance and a vegetable garden for 80,000 yuan.
Mr. Huang's family made great contributions by donating money and materials during the Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, during the special period, even though other courtyards in the alley were distributed and several or even more than a dozen families were squeezed into one courtyard, no one dared to touch his house.
It has always been his family living there.
He was even allowed to keep the deed to the house.
That is, the child has grown up and is working, living in the company, and only now does he live alone.
Wen Zhu always carries his household registration booklet with him, as well as the certificate from his hometown, so that he can find an opportunity to buy a house and transfer his household registration in one go.
Although the process was a bit tortuous, because I had acquaintances and spent ten thousand yuan to find someone to help, the transfer of household registration and ownership went smoothly.
They didn't even have to wait too long. The procedure that should have taken a month was completed in three days.
As expected, money makes the world go round, and this applies at any time.
Wen Zhu originally wanted to add her mother's name, but she refused.
"This is your own money, so the house you bought is of course yours. Mom doesn't want it. Your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have all been allocated housing by their companies. Don't worry about them!"
Wen Zhu kept the property certificate.
Mr. Huang had left all the furniture in the house to them, but his daughter-in-law didn't want them to move the old ones and wanted to buy new ones. Wen Zhu happened to pick up a bargain.
She likes old furniture with a vintage feel and she doesn't have to worry about formaldehyde when using it.
The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing while cleaning the house when there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
Wen Zhu put down the rag, wiped his hands and went outside to check.
They had just bought a house, and only the master knew about it. She opened the door with a smile, "Master..."
When the door opened, he saw a strange young girl.
The young girl was wearing a light blue dress, which was soft and delicate, with a faint pearly sheen, as if it were made of silk. Her soft hair fell smoothly on her shoulders, and she wore a butterfly hairpin of the same color, with half of her hair pinned up.
At first glance, she is obviously a girl spoiled by a rich family.
Her complexion was at odds with her gorgeous dress. She looked slender and weak, like a willow in the wind, and her face was extremely pale.
While Wen Zhu was looking at the other person, the other person was also looking at Wen Zhu.
The moment she saw Wen Zhu, her pupils constricted slightly, but quickly returned to normal, and she asked with a smile.
"Are you Grandpa Huang's granddaughter? I'm here to see him. I wonder if he's home today?"
Wen Zhu's sharp eyes noticed her strangeness and replied calmly, "Grandpa Huang has moved away, so I'll live here from now on. If you want to find him, go to the family compound of the state-owned machinery factory."
The delicate girl's eyes were full of disbelief.
"How is that possible? When I came here last week, he was still saying that he couldn't bear to sell the house because he thought the price was too low..."
A well-dressed, even fashionable woman next to her immediately stepped forward to support the frail girl.
"Miss, take a rest. I'll tell you."
The delicate girl nodded.
The woman said to Wen Zhu, "Ask the head of your household to come out."
Wen Zhu raised the corners of his mouth and looked teasing.
Which feudal vestige lackey is this? A young lady? She is still the same generation as Grandma Gu!
Wen Zhu stood by the door and said, "I am the head of my family. If you have any problems, just tell me. I can make the decision myself."
The woman glanced up and down at Wen Zhu, somewhat unconvinced, but still spoke arrogantly.
"My daughter has been eyeing this courtyard house for a long time, but that old man surnamed Huang has been hesitant and reluctant to buy it. Who knew that he would sell it to you in the blink of an eye?
Our lady is kind. No matter how much you paid for it, she will add 10,000 to the price. You will make 10,000 profit by reselling it. This business is not a loss!"
