Chen Jun gave Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu a strange look.
Could it be that both of them have gone mentally ill?
Selling workstations was one thing, but now they're even trying to sell the house, and they want to sell it to themselves.
Actually, Chen Jun intended to buy a house in a courtyard house, since these things cost a few hundred yuan now, but decades later they wouldn't be worth millions.
Chen Jun was somewhat displeased with Jia Dongxu's attitude.
It was as if he had taken advantage of the Jia family by buying their house.
Moreover, the price wasn't cheap; the Jia family only had one room, yet they wanted to sell it for eight hundred.
Seeing that Chen Jun hadn't responded, Jia Dongxu was actually quite unsure of himself. Looking around the entire courtyard, there weren't many people who could come up with 800 yuan at once, and even fewer who were willing to spend that much money to buy a house.
Yi Zhonghai might be able to afford it, but he doesn't need to buy a house. His family's house is big enough for the three of them to live in, and they can even have enough room to live if they adopt another child in the future.
But Chen Jun is different. He had previously bought a house in the courtyard, so it's the most suitable place for you to buy from him.
"Chen Jun, do you want it or not? If not, I'm leaving," Jia Dongxu said, trying to appear calm.
"I can't afford it!"
Chen Jun shrugged: "Eight hundred yuan is too expensive. I don't have that much money. If you can lower the price, I might consider it."
"By the way, your house was burned down, so even if you buy it, you can't live in it right away."
"How much can you offer?" Jia Dongxu understood the implication in the words; this was an attempt to haggle.
That's normal, though. If you ask for an exorbitant price, you should bargain on the spot. He didn't expect Chen Jun to actually give him 800 yuan when he asked for it.
"I'm too lazy to haggle. How about this, just give me the lowest price. If it's right, I'll buy it; if not, I'll leave." Chen Jun didn't want to say anything more.
The Jia family was so eager to sell the house that they must have already checked the price with the local street office. Chen Jun bought it because it was close to the market price. But if Jia Dongxu made him a sucker, he might as well not have the house.
After all, the house was burned down like that, and it will cost a lot of money to repair it later.
"Seven hundred and eighty yuan!" Jia Dongxu's eyes darted around as he quoted a price: "I'm only giving this a discount because of the neighbors. If someone else wanted to buy it, they would have to pay at least a thousand... Hey, hey, Chen Jun, what are you doing?"
Before Jia Dongxu could finish speaking, he saw Chen Jun shake his head, turn around, and walk into the factory.
No, you should offer me a price!
At least there's something left!
Jia Dongxu's expression was extremely complicated. He hadn't expected Chen Jun to be so disrespectful to him, leaving so abruptly.
780 yuan won't do, 750 will do too.
After negotiating the price slightly, Jia Dongxu immediately agreed.
Qin Huairu watched Chen Jun turn and leave, and sighed helplessly.
She felt that Jia Dongxu was too greedy. He couldn't even sell the house for 800 yuan when it was in good condition. Now he was in a hurry to sell it and wanted to trick Chen Jun into spending 700 or 800 yuan to buy the house.
He must have something wrong with his brain.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you!"
Jia Dongxu said angrily, then arranged for Qin Huairu to push the wheelchair. He planned to go back to the courtyard first, and then have Liu Haizhong hold a meeting during the literacy class in the evening to let the people in the courtyard fight for their houses.
Just like the last time they auctioned off workstations, they auctioned off the house as well.
This should attract a lot of bidders, and the price of the house will naturally be driven up.
In the late afternoon, Liu Haizhong, who had just gotten off work and returned home, was stopped by Jia Dongxu.
"Jia Dongxu, are you going to pay me back?" Liu Haizhong's first words were to ask Jia Dongxu for the money he owed him.
Yesterday, Liu Haizhong paid some of Jia Dongxu's medical expenses in advance, which made him very distressed, fearing that Jia Dongxu would renege on the debt.
After all, the Jia family is in dire straits right now; they're lucky if they don't starve to death. They won't be able to repay the money until next month when they get their salaries.
Since Yi Zhonghai paid more upfront, he will definitely ask the Jia family for money back, and Liu Haizhong will have to be ranked after Yi Zhonghai.
"I have no money!"
Jia Dongxu answered decisively. He was penniless, had no money, and only had his life. He didn't care whether the people in the compound looked down on him.
Having already decided to sell the house, why would he still care about saving face?
"You're so arrogant even though you're broke?" Liu Haizhong was dumbfounded; he had never seen anyone so arrogant despite being poor.
"I don't have money now, but I'll have money soon."
Jia Dongxu raised his hand, signaling Liu Haizhong not to rush, before continuing, "Second Uncle, why don't you call a hospital-wide meeting? I want to auction off the house, just like the last time we auctioned off the workstations, the highest bidder wins."
What?
Liu Haizhong was even more confused after hearing this.
Selling the house?
Jia Dongxu is actually going to sell his house?
Are you crazy?!
If Jia Zhangshi knew that Jia Dongxu was going to sell the house, she would probably be so anxious that she would try to escape from the labor camp.
If Lao Jia knew that Jia Dongxu was going to sell off his family property, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl up from the ground.
"Really? If you sell the house, where will your family live?" Liu Haizhong asked.
"I'll rent a place. I don't have the money to repair the house right now, so I might as well rent one. At least the roof won't leak," Jia Dongxu replied.
have to!
Seeing that Jia Dongxu didn't seem to be joking, Liu Haizhong agreed.
He has three sons, and Liu Guangqi is of marriageable age, so Liu Haizhong also wants to buy a house. He failed to outbid Chen Jun last time, but if he can, he must take the house from the Jia family this time.
That way, when Liu Guangqi gets married, we can tidy it up and use it as his wedding room.
"Okay, I'll go home and eat first, and then I'll call everyone to the meeting after I finish eating."
About an hour later, Liu Haizhong started calling for people in the yard.
However, the enthusiasm of everyone to attend the conference this time was not high, perhaps because the conference has been held quite frequently recently.
"Second Uncle, why is there another big meeting? I'm waiting to start my class."
"That's right, how about we hold the meeting tomorrow during the day, so it doesn't interfere with our classes?"
"I finally learned a few words yesterday."
Liu Haizhong felt slightly annoyed as he listened to the complaints from the people in the courtyard.
He's the head steward of the courtyard house, so isn't it normal for him to hold a general meeting for the whole courtyard? How come these people still have objections?
"There's good news to announce at today's meeting!"
Ouch?
Upon hearing that there was good news, the people who had been complaining shut up, wondering to themselves if the neighborhood committee was going to offer some assistance.
Once most of the people had arrived, Liu Haizhong tapped on the table.
"The main reason I called everyone here for this meeting today is to help the Jia family through this difficult time. As you all know, they have recently encountered a lot of setbacks. First, their house burned down, and then they were hospitalized. They have been having a really tough time."
"As neighbors, we can't just stand by and do nothing."
hiss......
Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Yi Zhonghai turned his head in surprise.
These words sound so familiar!
