Yu Zihan finally arrived at Qingcheng Bus Station when she was almost dying of the bumpy ride.
Yu Meijuan quickly got off the car and squatted in front of a tree pit, vomiting violently.
Yu Zihan found a plum candy from her space and handed it to her mother. Yu Meijuan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and held the plum candy in her mouth. This time, the waves of nausea were suppressed.
Seeing her mother calm down, Yu Zihan said.
"Let's rent or buy a house first, otherwise we will have to live in a guesthouse." Yu Zihan said to her mother.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I forgot about this. I suffer from motion sickness." Yu Meijuan took a short rest before she recovered.
Yu Zihan was very familiar with Qingcheng, both in her past and present lives. When she thought about buying a house, she remembered this: with the acceleration of urbanization, some areas were undergoing demolition. Qingcheng followed suit and began reforming its land and housing systems.
In 1988, a vigorous demolition project began in the eastern part of Qingcheng. First, the prosperous but chaotic riverside market was completely demolished, and a unified plan was implemented to build the famous riverside street.
This street is divided into Shangjie and Xiajie. Shangjie is the agricultural products wholesale market, and Xiajie is the clothing, shoes and hats wholesale market. These two commercial streets have carried the prosperity of Qingcheng County for 20 years.
When the planning started, no one wanted the storefronts there. But as time went on, by the 1990s, the price of a storefront there had risen to 100,000 yuan, and after 2000, the price had risen to 200,000 yuan.
Dongshun Hutong in Dongcheng District was also designated for planning. It was primarily due to the old, dilapidated houses. After demolition, high-rise buildings were built. At the time, the demolition costs were calculated per square meter, making it more affordable for those with yards.
On the way, Yu Zihan told her mother about the demolition. Yu Meijuan was overjoyed to hear her daughter's words. Such a good deal! She quickly followed her daughter towards the east of the city. It would be best if they could buy a yard. Then, when the demolition happened, they could make a killing.
Qingcheng itself is not big, and Dongcheng is not far from the bus station, so they arrived at Dongshun Hutong in ten minutes.
"It's so dilapidated, no wonder it has to be demolished. Many of the houses here are already dangerous." Yu Meijuan said with emotion as she looked at the houses here.
Yu Zihan noticed her mother was a little worried, so she said to her, "We have the right to choose. We can buy houses with big yards and relatively sturdy houses. Living there for two or three years shouldn't be a problem."
Seeing that her daughter was determined to buy the house here, Yu Meijuan followed her daughter despite being a little worried.
An older woman came towards them, and Yu Zihan recognized at a glance that this woman was Bao Daning, a veteran on this street.
He stepped forward, stopped the aunt, and asked, "Aunt, I want to ask you something." As he spoke, he took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from the space and stuffed them into the aunt's hand.
The auntie was a kind-hearted person to begin with. Now, holding a handful of White Rabbit milk candies in her hand, she felt that the girl in front of her was a capable person, and a smile appeared on her face.
"What's the matter? You're so polite." There was some anger in her words, but she felt sweet in her heart.
"Auntie, I want to buy a house. Do you have any information about it?"
"Well, there really is a family that wants to sell a house, but..."
The aunt looked at the two people's clothes. Although the mother and daughter in front of her looked good, their clothes were too shabby. Not only were their clothes washed white, but they were also covered with patches.
It was unbelievable that someone like that could come up with three thousand yuan all at once. She felt that this matter was a bit risky.
Yu Zihan knew what her aunt was thinking. She looked at what she and her mother were wearing and felt a little embarrassed.
She said, "Auntie, please tell me the situation. We are really sincere about buying a house. If you have any news in this regard, please tell us."
"This family's house is the largest and best in our alley. Their son is abroad, and they want them to go out too.
That's why I thought about selling this house, but the price is high, only three thousand dollars.
Think about it, if you can come up with the money, then I will take you to look at houses. If you don't have the ability, I can't help you with this."
The aunt gave them a heads-up based on the principle of speaking the truth first.
The mother and daughter thought the price was determined by calculating their own pocket money. Yu Meijuan thought that if they bought the house, they would not have a penny left, and she looked embarrassed.
But Yu Zihan knew her family background. She pulled her mother and said to the aunt without hesitation, "Take us to see the house."
When the aunt heard that the people were not scared away by the price, she realized that these two people might not be that simple.
"Okay, come with me. You've met me. I have a very good relationship with this old couple. They told me about selling the house a few days ago.
They also know that I know a lot of people in this area." The auntie spoke with a proud tone.
"It can be seen that the aunt is a capable person." Yu Zihan flattered her all the way.
At the end of the alley, I saw a courtyard wall made of blue bricks. The wall was very high, and it looked like the courtyard was quite large.
This was exactly the house Yu Zihan had always wanted. She held her mother's hand tightly, expressing her inner joy.
But her expression was very calm, and outsiders could not tell how excited she was at the moment.
Arriving at an old but quaint door, the aunt began to knock on it.
