Chapter 426 The First Courtyard (2) (Page 1/2)
After making an appointment with Uncle Zhang to meet at the Housing Authority in the afternoon, Jiang Qian and Gu Yunlan returned.
Jiang Qian came back, took the passbook and went out again to the post office to withdraw money.
Seeing her daughter-in-law busying around, Han's mother asked, "Qianqian, is there anything wrong?"
"Yunlan introduced a courtyard to me. I went to see it. It's very nice. I also negotiated a price with the owner. I will go to transfer the ownership this afternoon." Jiang Qian said.
Mother Han was very surprised. "Why are you buying a yard out of the blue?"
"House prices will increase in the future." Jiang Qian whispered.
Han's mother was stunned for a moment, "Hasn't the house always been priced that way?"
It’s not surprising that the old lady thought this way. It’s true that houses are scarce, but it’s not likely that their prices will increase. The prices have been about the same for the past ten to twenty years.
No one knows how high the housing prices will rise in the future.
Jiang Qian also gave her mother-in-law some scientific knowledge, saying, "Mother, think about it, now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, not to mention that the educated youth in Beijing who went to the countryside will come back one after another, Beijing is the capital, how many outstanding students from other places will come here to study in the future? When they come here to study, they will see the difference between here and their hometown, and they will definitely try to find ways to stay. It won't take long, just five to ten years, by then, what will the population here look like? With more people, will houses become scarce and expensive?"
Han's mother had absolutely no doubts about her daughter-in-law's vision, but the old lady was worried, "Would it be bad if others knew about it?"
After all, housing conditions are quite tight nowadays. If you buy another one when you already have one, will people point fingers at you and say you are too greedy?
Being a big household doesn’t have a good reputation.
"What does it matter? Now that those monsters have stepped down, who cares whether you buy a house or not? Besides, if someone really says so, we have a ready-made reason. We can say that it is prepared for them brothers. We can't have the whole family squeezed together when we get married in the future. We just happened to buy it when we saw someone selling it. It also makes preparations for the future." Jiang Qian said with a smile.
Mother Han also laughed when she heard this, "You're right!"
That being said, no one can say it’s bad!
In the afternoon, Jiang Qian and Gu Yunlan came to the Housing Authority together.
The staff at the Housing Authority also knew Jiang Qian and Gu Yunlan and were happy to chat with them.
The two of them are now truly celebrities. Jiang Qian is more of a homebody and seldom goes out, but Gu Yunlan has to cover her face with a scarf when she goes shopping, otherwise people will ask her wherever she goes if she is the female top scholar?
After waiting for about ten minutes, Uncle Zhang arrived on time.
There is no doubt that the homeowner is Mr. Zhang. The staff of the Housing Authority have helped to check it out and there will be no problems at all. This is a house with very clear property rights.
So quickly, Jiang Qian and Uncle Zhang completed the transfer procedures, and the staff helped to get all the documents ready.
Jiang Qian had no expression on her face during the whole process.
But after parting with Uncle Zhang who took the money and left satisfied, the smile on Jiang Qian's face was clearly revealed. The first Beijing courtyard with a foundation in her life was in her hands!
Gu Yunlan found it funny, "It's just buying a house, why are you so happy?"
"I've been dreaming about this place for so long and finally bought it. How can I not be happy?" Jiang Qian said with a smile.
Gu Yunlan smiled, and the two of them were not in a hurry to go home. Instead, they came to find the decorators as Uncle Zhang introduced to them.
It's true that the house is dilapidated, but it's not a big problem to renovate it. It's just that it's too cold today, so it's not convenient to start the work.
The decorator said that if you are not in a hurry to move in, you can wait until next spring and start work then.
Jiang Qian had no objection to this and would wait until next year to discuss it.
But it did cost some money and I asked someone to come and clean the yard.
