Passing through the main gate, the main house is directly opposite.
The room was cleverly divided into two sections: one side was a spacious living room furnished with several comfortable sofas and an elegant coffee table, on which were placed a few simple tea sets.
On the other side was the dining area, with a very beautiful curtain hanging in the middle, embroidered with exquisite patterns, adding a touch of elegance to the room.
The side rooms on both sides, as well as the left and right wing rooms, all have kang beds.
The side room on the left is the kitchen. The stove is wiped clean, and all kinds of cooking utensils are neatly arranged. Some dried chilies and garlic are hanging on the wall, creating a strong sense of home.
The side room on the right is the toilet. Although the space is small, it is very clean.
It's a flush toilet, not an outhouse, which Xie Yan likes.
Moreover, the toilet is very large. After looking around, Xie Yan decided to make a wet and dry separation partition, with a shower room on one side.
The backyard is a completely different world. Apart from the walking area paved with smooth pebbles, which resemble a winding silver ribbon, the rest of the area is filled with rows of vibrant vegetables.
The elderly couple clearly had a special fondness for growing vegetables. Not only was their backyard filled with vegetables, but their front yard was also cleverly divided into four small corners. Flowers were planted on both sides, with the beautiful blossoms vying for attention and emitting a fragrant aroma; vegetables were planted on both sides, with the lush green vegetables growing vigorously, giving people a sense of vitality and energy.
Xie Yan strolled through the house, carefully observing every detail, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.
The overall layout is just right, especially the vegetable garden in the backyard and the spacious yard in the front yard, which perfectly match the preferences of Chaochao and his wife.
The grape trellis in the front yard delighted him even more, and he imagined the pleasant scene of his family chatting and enjoying the cool shade under the grape trellis in the summer. Xie Yan was extremely satisfied with this house.
Since it was introduced by Gu's mother, Xie Yan didn't like to beat around the bush and went straight to asking about the price.
Chang Zhide slowly extended two fingers, his expression serious and firm, and said, "Twenty thousand, not a penny less."
"As you can see, I've always taken great care in maintaining and repairing this house. It's our family's ancestral home. If I weren't never coming back, I would never have sold it!"
Seeing Xie Yan's expressionless face, Chang Zhide added, "If you spend 20,000 yuan to buy it, you definitely won't lose out."
"We won't take the furniture or the firewood in this house; we'll leave it all to you."
Although none of the furniture pieces are made of precious wood, they are all quite old and could be sold for a few hundred yuan.
Xie Yan walked around the room again, her affection growing stronger.
Although 20,000 yuan is indeed not a small amount, he really loves this house so much that every part of it seems to have been tailor-made for him.
Moreover, if they buy the house here, his wife will have Zhang Linghui to keep her company when she comes over, so she won't be lonely.
Seeing that Xie Yan was staring without saying a word, Gu Bin mistakenly assumed that he didn't have enough money, so he leaned closer to Xie Yan and whispered, "Did you not bring enough money?"
"I'll lend you whatever you need."
Although this house is a bit expensive, Xie Yan won't lose out by buying it.
Xie Yan felt somewhat helpless. He really didn't have that much money. He had only brought a thousand yuan with him this time, which was already half empty of his savings.
However, he has gold bars.
However, it seems inappropriate to directly take out gold bars in this situation.
So he pulled Gu Bin to a relatively quiet and safe corner and said in a low voice, "It's not that I have enough money, but my wife gave me a few gold bars when she left. Do you think it's appropriate for me to exchange them for gold bars?"
Gu Bin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that Xie Yan had actually managed to hook up with a rich man! The Yu family is quite something! They even have gold bars.
How many?
Xie Yan held up a six, "Six pieces, each weighing one kilogram."
Gu Bin stroked his chin. It was indeed inappropriate to just take out gold bars directly; it was a sensitive matter. Beijing was a dangerous place right now. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Here's what we'll do: just give them to me, and I'll try to get you 20,000 yuan."
Xie Yan nodded gratefully, agreeing that such an exchange was reasonable given the current gold price.
After the two reached an agreement, they returned to the Chang family home.
Xie Yan said directly, "I'll go back to get the money. The property ownership certificate is still there, right?"
Chang Gui'er nodded quickly, a genuine smile on her face. "Everything is there, and all the paperwork is complete."
"I came back this time specifically to deal with things at this house in the city. Everything is ready."
He was worried that his father's asking price was too high and the house wouldn't sell for a while, but he didn't expect it to be sold so quickly, which was undoubtedly a happy thing for him.
Xie Yan and Gu Bin then went out to each raise money.
Gu Bin hurried towards his grandfather's house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw the old man sitting on the sofa, wearing reading glasses, intently reading the newspaper.
"Grandpa!" Gu Bin called out as he passed by.
The old man turned his face slightly away, deliberately avoiding looking at him, clearly still angry with his grandson.
He had repeatedly told Gu Bin to bring Tongtong over, but the boy came alone. The old man was extremely unhappy that he couldn't see his adorable great-granddaughter.
Grandma Gu sat to the side, a kind smile on her face, and waved to Gu Bin, "Binbin! Come here, have you had breakfast yet?"
Gu Bin walked over quickly, took his grandmother's hand affectionately, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandma, I've already eaten. I came here today to talk to you about something."
As he spoke, he leaned close to Grandma Gu's ear and whispered about wanting to exchange the gold bars.
Grandma Gu was a worldly woman and naturally knew the value of gold bars. Without saying a word, she pulled Gu Bin upstairs.
Grandpa Gu was originally waiting for his grandson to apologize and back down, but when he watched the two of them walk away hand in hand, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at them.
"Hmph! That brat only cares about his grandma, he doesn't respect this old man at all!" the old man muttered under his breath.
Wu Ma, who was washing fruit nearby, couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the old man's expression.
Gu Bin took the money and hurried downstairs.
She spotted the sullen old man at a glance and realized she hadn't comforted him yet, so she quickly said, "Grandpa, I really have something urgent to attend to today. I'll definitely bring Tongtong over for you to see next time I come!" Before she could finish speaking, he had already left through the door.
The old man got even angrier and kept yelling "Ouch, ouch!" but Gu Bin, who had already walked away, didn't hear a thing.
The old man's performance went unappreciated, leaving him furious and his face contorted with rage.
Grandma Gu sat quietly to the side, watching the old man's performance. When he had almost stopped, she slowly said, "Alright, the child had something to do and has already gone far away. Stop acting."
