Chapter 335 No Agreement
Diao Yulian's mouth stiffened and she glared at Wu Shengli.
This man has a big mouth and can't hide even the smallest thing.
With an embarrassed look on his face, he casually combed his hair with a comb.
"I haven't said I'm going to sell it yet. I just want to bring someone over to take a look."
Zhang Dazui had just hung the clothes on the clothesline, and without even bothering to wipe the water off his hands, he strode over.
"Diao Yulian, what happened? Why are you thinking of selling the house out of the blue?"
Xie Da Jiao came over with her sandals clacking on.
"Old Wu, are you in trouble?"
Generally speaking, people would not choose to sell land or houses unless they really have no other choice. It sounds extremely embarrassing.
We have been neighbors for decades. If we really encounter difficulties, no one will just sit there and do nothing. They will lend a hand and provide emergency assistance.
Zhou Jianguo, wearing an apron and sweating profusely, also stuck his big head out of the kitchen window.
Wu Shengli was a little flattered. He grabbed his hair with his hands and didn't laugh.
“Isn’t it that someone wants to buy a bungalow in the compound at a high price?
I brought someone over to take a look, but we haven't finalized whether to sell it or not."
Today's buyer, the big golden retriever, didn't understand what the other person was saying at all, but he didn't feel scared and was extremely comfortable.
Wearing a tight, short, bright red striped sportswear and baring his big white teeth, he looked around in the yard.
He was an international student studying Architecture at National Tsing Hua University, originally from the United States, and had some change in his pocket.
After coming to China, I became very interested in ancient buildings, especially the well-preserved courtyard houses with a long history.
Of course, he didn't have the means to buy a courtyard house with clear property rights and higher specifications.
He had no choice but to wander around and find a slum with a slightly better environment. After many twists and turns, he heard the news about the house sale that Wu Shengli had posted.
He likes China very much and plans to develop in Beijing in the future.
If you live alone, there is no need to buy an entire courtyard house. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.
After all, even if it is a slum, there are more than a dozen families living in one yard, and each family has its own property heir.
As long as there is one family that disagrees with selling the house, this matter will be a hassle.
It would be better to spend money to buy a small bungalow, live in it alone, eat delicious food every day, and live a happy life.
Jin Qiaofeng finished the porridge in no time and wiped her mouth.
He clicked his tongue a few times and muttered, "This foreigner has a pretty good physique."
He was tall and strong, but his face looked rather young, like a peeled egg with a weed nest on top.
Her blonde hair was so bright in the sun it almost blinded her eyes.
I really want to dye this thing black.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xie family were standing nearby and heard it, and they almost burst out laughing.
Diao Yulian felt awkward and picked at her fingers.
"I have no choice. If Jiabao doesn't pass the exam next year, he'll have to work in a factory. I want to save more money to see if I can buy a better job."
Gao Xiulan sighed and told the truth.
"It's easy to sell this house, but it's hard to buy it back."
Zhang Dazui twisted his mouth and said, "According to the current situation of the factory, it is unlikely that we will be able to get more housing."
Wu Shengli wiped his forehead with his big hand, his face full of worry.
George moved to the main house in the north, and his eyes sparkled with gold as he looked at the row of magnificent houses.
He likes this one!
So big!
I leaned on the door and window to take a look at the layout inside the house, when suddenly the door of the house opened inward.
The young man lost his balance, his features flew about, and he fell straight forward into Qian Baozhu's arms.
“Oh, no!”
"What the hell?"
The two of them clung to the door frame, their feet entangled together.
Qian Baozhu felt like there was suddenly a lump on his body.
It is a burden that his life cannot bear.
"Old Qian!" Yu Afen was shocked.
Today is the restaurant's day off, and the two of them had a good sleep at home.
I heard noises in the yard in a daze, and I never expected to see someone struggling at the door when I opened it.
Zhou Jianguo took a quick step forward and separated the two men with a clamp of his big hands.
"Who is he?"
Qian Baozhu leaned against the door and window, panting, and pointed at the wilted golden retriever with trembling fingers.
Gao Xiulan said quickly, "He came to the Wu family to look at the house. I don't know how he ended up at your door."
Qian Baozhu was so angry: "Are you interested in my house?
Xiaotong, help your uncle tell him to go wherever is cooler."
This is the ancestral home of the Qian family. His father moved here with his family after liberation.
Lin Xiaotong nodded, turned around and quickly told George about Qian Baozhu's attitude.
George looked sad after hearing this. He looked back every few steps as he walked down the stairs, hoping that Qian Baozhu would change his mind.
Qian Baozhu had a cold and ruthless look on his face, and he held Afen's hand and complained.
"This guy is really evil and wants to buy our house!
No door, no, there are no windows!"
It was agreed that this piece of house would be divided equally between the two daughters, Qian Min and Qian Yu, and none of his brothers had any intention of doing so.
Xie Da Jiao shook his head: "Who says foreigners are stupid? They still want the best."
Wu Shengli took George, who had his head hung down, for a walk around his house.
Coincidentally, the room the Wu family was planning to sell was an ear room next to the Qian family's.
Perhaps because of the wonderful experience before him, George looked obviously dissatisfied and lacked interest.
Diao Yulian also looked indifferent. She was not looking for trouble, and of course she was not willing to curry favor with someone who was cold to her.
Lin Xiaotong took the opportunity to warm up breakfast in the kitchen and came over to help with translation.
When asked for the price at last, George was only willing to pay eight hundred dollars.
"Only eight hundred? No way, I won't sell it."
Diao Yulian raised her throat and scratched her ears, thinking she had misheard.
Naturally, she was not satisfied with this price. It was not even enough for Wu Shengli's annual salary!
"Can't you add a little more? This house of ours is enough for us to live in forever! It's only worth this much!"
Wu Shengli couldn't hold it in any longer and started yelling.
He heard that a family in Drum Tower sold three small dilapidated houses and made 12,000 yuan!
I originally wanted to cheat some lucky people, and it would be best if I could sell a house for seven or eight thousand.
Apart from buying a small portion for work, he saved the rest to buy four big items at once for his son's wedding to show his respect.
George's original budget was to stay within 1,000 yuan and he was determined not to raise the price.
Neither the buyer nor the seller reached an agreement. Wu Shengli was talking rapidly, jumping up and down, and the veins on his neck were trembling.
Diao Yulian was no less impressive. She stood on the steps with her hands on her hips, spitting so hard that George couldn't open his face.
Lin Xiaotong couldn't get a word in at all.
This house is definitely not going to sell, so I turned around and went home to have breakfast.
Gao Xiulan put the vegetable basket into the pool to soak, and also paid attention to the movements in the west.
Jin Qiaofeng held the bowl with her hands behind her back, and Guoqing also imitated his grandmother, with his hands behind his back, watching with great interest.
"We're definitely not going to reach an agreement!"
The Wu couple talked until their mouths dried up, but they were talking at cross purposes, and George didn't nod.
Wu Jiabao was eavesdropping outside the door, looking depressed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that the person was about to come out, he ran away.
After turning several times in the alley, the person disappeared in a short while.
Sure enough, George's head was buzzing and he finally ran away with his head in his hands.
He ran and howled all the way, and passers-by turned their heads to salute him.
"Why are you shouting in broad daylight?"
"Foreigners are just stupid."
"He's such a good young man, but he's probably a fool."
"Aren't you afraid of your crotch ripping when you run so fast?"
"Stop talking, someone fell down."
After a whole morning of fuss, the Wu family still didn't sell the house.
The couple sat on the steps, panting and cursing George for not knowing what he was doing.
"Hurry up, what are you still standing there for? Go call Jiabao back for breakfast!"
Diao Yulian was full of anger and disliked Wu Shengli as usual.
…
Gao Xiulan kept nagging, "Have you packed everything? Keep your money close to you so you don't have to carry too much on the train."
When we get there, I’ll remit more money if it’s not enough.”
After Lin Xiaotong and Xie Yi got their border passes, they booked a train to Guangzhou tonight.
Xie Da Jiao echoed from the side: "Be sure to keep the border pass safe, son. Be careful in the car and don't sleep so soundly at night."
The young couple just needs to nod obediently.
To go to Pengcheng now, you first have to take a train to Yangcheng for nearly 33 hours, and then take a train or long-distance bus from Yangcheng to Pengcheng.
There are only two or three trains between the two stations a day, and the journey takes at least two and a half or three hours.
If you choose to take a long-distance bus, it will be even more difficult. There are no asphalt roads that are well-connected like in later generations. Most of the roads are narrow and uneven gravel roads.
Not only was there a traffic jam, but someone in the car was carsick. The doors and windows were open, and the passing vehicles kicked up a cloud of dust, making everyone look dirty and miserable.
The arrival time of each bus is uncertain. If you are unlucky, you may have to wait from the sun to the moon.
