Chapter 101 The Middleman

After that, Zhou Nuan took Su Hang home. Since he was skipping a grade, one or two classes didn’t matter.

Su Hang kept his head down and said nothing along the way.

Zhou Nuan touched his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy started to cry. He tried his best to hold back his tears, "Aunt, I didn't mean to cause trouble. I just can't stand him talking about my mother."

"He also said this is not my home at all, told me to get out, and said you will abandon me sooner or later. Aunt, you won't abandon me, will you? I will be very good and I will listen to you."

Zhou Nuan sighed silently.

No matter how smart and mature he appears, and even if he sometimes speaks aggressively, he is still that frightened and insecure little boy inside.

There is another possibility. After all, this is not a place he is familiar with. He has no sense of belonging, and the rented house is not home after all.

"Of course my aunt won't abandon you. You are my child. Don't listen to Wang Ailun's nonsense!" She said seriously, looking at Su Hang seriously.

"Su Hang, you have to remember that this is of course your home, and from now on Haicheng will be our home."

Her voice was soft, but had a reassuring power.

Su Hang raised his eyes and looked over. His aunt had a faint smile on her face. The sunlight was pouring down on her, and she seemed to be enveloped in the light.

"Su Hang, do you want to work with your aunt to find a home for us?"

Another half a month passed, and Zhou Nuan was still looking for houses, but she didn't see any suitable ones.

That day she went to see a house, it was the weekend, and Su Hang went with her. As soon as she walked in, a mother and son ran out angrily, cursing as they walked.

"Bah, he dares to ask such a high price for a shabby house, does he really think it's a treasure? If I can sell it, I will take his last name!"

Her son followed behind with a sad face, "Mom, you really don't want to buy it?"

"No, no, I'm not a sucker. I don't believe this house is worth this price. It will be cheaper sooner or later! Come on, come on!"

Her son was somewhat reluctant and was forcibly dragged away by his mother. Before leaving, he kindly advised Zhou Nuan, "You are here to see the house as well, right? There is nothing to see here. I will rip you off without hesitation."

Zhou Nuan raised her eyebrows and watched the mother and son leave with determination, thinking that she would definitely regret her decision today.

She led Su Hang inside. The landlord was sitting in the living room with a unhappy look on his face. It seemed that he was very angry with the woman.

Seeing Zhou Nuan coming in, he barely suppressed his anger and asked, "Are you here to see the house too?"

Before she could answer, he shouted angrily: "This is totally unreasonable. No matter how bad my house is, it can't be worth only 10,000 yuan. If it weren't for my daughter marrying and moving away and asking me to move with her, I would not be willing to sell it!"

Zhou Nuan took a look at the house. It was not on a high floor and had good lighting. Although it was a bit old, it was big enough. To be honest, this house was worth at least 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in Haicheng. Ten thousand yuan was indeed too little. No wonder the owner was so angry.

"Uncle, how much do you want for this house?" If the price is right, it's okay.

The homeowner changed his mind and waved his hands, "No, no, no, it's better for me to keep it and let it gather dust than to sell it at a low price, you guys can go now."

Zhou Nuan wanted to talk more, but the landlord didn't want to listen anymore and politely but firmly asked them to leave.

They had no choice but to leave. They came here with great enthusiasm but returned without any reward. Even Zhou Nuan, who was always optimistic, was a little frustrated. She had been looking for a house these days, but unfortunately, she didn't have a real estate agent and had few sources of information. She had to rely on others to tell her where there were houses for sale.

She now misses the door-to-door service agents of later generations very much, who could arrange everything with just one phone call and meet all her requirements without her having to run around and get nothing.

Sensing her disappointment, Su Hang comforted her, "It's okay, aunt, take your time, there's no rush."

Zhou Nuan felt warm at the sight of the little adult. She actually wanted to look for it slowly, but if she guessed correctly, after the land auction, the housing prices in Haicheng would start to rise, and it would be even harder to find a house then.

It turns out that it is not easy to find a house at a suitable price and at a low price. She was too optimistic.

If there is really no other way, I can only decide on the one that Gu Xiyue found first.

Since the deal didn't go through, she could only walk back with Su Hang. After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard the sound of a horn behind them.

Looking back, Ji Huacheng just popped his head out, "Gu...what a coincidence."

Zhou Nuan nodded at him, "Master Ji."

Because he came to compensate Ji Huayan for the loss of clothes last time, Zhou Nuan didn't have a bad impression of him. Although he had a weird sister, Ji Huacheng was a good brother and was not the same kind of person as his sister.

Ji Huacheng said, "Don't call me Master Ji, just call me by my name."

"Okay, then you can call me Zhou Nuan."

Ji Huacheng touched his head embarrassedly, "Okay, Zhou Nuan, where are you going? I'll take you there?"

"I just looked at a house and was planning to go home." Zhou Nuan was not a shy person and took Su Hang in.

It would be a waste if she didn't take the free car, as it saved her from having to walk.

Ji Huacheng paused, "You want to buy a house?"

"Yes, we have been in Haicheng for quite some time. Xiyue's business is here, and we don't plan to leave Haicheng for the time being. We are thinking of buying a house." Zhou Nuan smiled and said, "Does Ji Shao have any good houses to recommend?"

She just asked casually as a joke, but she didn't expect Ji Huacheng to really have it.

He hesitated for a moment, "My neighbor is planning to sell her house and move abroad. If you have time, you can go over and take a look. Her house is not bad. It's a small apartment on two floors with a garden. It's also an ancestral inheritance, so it's pretty good."

Small apartment, two floors, garden, ancestral property.

When you put these four words together, you know it's a good house. Zhou Nuan was delighted and said, "I wonder what price they plan to sell it for."

If the price is too high, there is nothing she can do, after all, there is no such thing as a mortgage nowadays.

"Oh, because her family is in a hurry to sell the house and move abroad, the price is negotiable. You can go and take a look first. If it is suitable, I don't mind being a middleman." Ji Huacheng said while driving.

When Zhou Nuan heard this, she thought there was hope.

Since it is urgently sold and he is Ji Huacheng's neighbor, with his intercession, he might be able to get it at a very low price.

The most important thing is, what about the small two-story apartment? Even if we don’t live in it in the future and move to another place, we can just tear it down and build a new building. Isn’t it far away to start collecting rent?

She seemed to see herself as the landlady wearing pajamas and slippers, with a bunch of keys hanging around her waist.

"Okay, let's go check it out!"
