Chapter 216 Can the price be negotiated?

Two girls?

Li Shufen looked back at the fat woman and said with a smile: "Sister, she is a girl, I don't think I am the same age as you!"

"Your back was turned to me so I couldn't see clearly!" The fat woman said with a smile, "I heard you just said you wanted to buy a house. But you didn't find one that suits you. What kind of house do you plan to buy?"

"Do you have a house to sell? We are planning to buy a small house, preferably one with an open space in front!" Su Mei felt that since the middle-aged woman took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, she probably had a house to sell.

Sure enough, after hearing what Su Mei said, the middle-aged woman took her iron lunch box and sat at Su Mei's table. She looked at Su Mei and said:

"I actually happen to have an old house for sale, but it's a little old and I haven't sold it for several years. If you're interested, you can come and take a look."

"Is there a yard in front of the house?" This is what Su Mei was concerned about.

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "There is a yard, and it's quite big. It's definitely enough to grow some vegetables for daily consumption. If my husband hadn't been allocated a house in the factory, I would not be willing to sell it.

If you have your own vegetable garden, you can save a lot of money! "

"Where is your house?" Su Mei was not immediately interested. She wanted to buy a house near the school first. If it was too far away, she didn't want to look at it now.

The woman heard this and said:

"It's in the old alley behind Yenching University. It's close to the school, lively and popular. If you're interested, I'll take you there after dinner!"

"Okay, then take me to see it after dinner. May I ask your name?" Su Mei now had some interest in looking at the house.

She thought that since this woman's house hadn't been sold for several years, it probably wouldn't be in very good condition, so she didn't hold out much hope.

The woman took a bite of rice and replied vaguely, "My surname is Hu, you can just call me Sister Hu."

After finishing her conversation, Sister Hu asked for Su Mei and Li Shufen's names.

After dinner, Sister Hu took Su Mei to the back of Yenching University's campus.

When they arrived at the area behind the university, Su Mei realized that the old alleys that Sister Hu mentioned were really old. Many of the houses here were dilapidated and looked terrible.

However, there are still many elderly people living here, and there are elderly people sunbathing at the gates of the courtyards everywhere, so it is not too lonely.

In addition, there is a big gate at the back of the school, and some college students live in the alley, which makes this place even more popular.

On this point, Sister Hu did not lie.

After walking for half an hour, Sister Hu finally led Su Mei to a courtyard. After looking around, she took out a key from the crack in the wall and opened the gate.

The moment she saw the yard, Su Mei opened her mouth in surprise.

What a huge yard, even larger than those courtyard houses. It would be worth at least hundreds of millions in the future. She seemed to have seen a lot of money and couldn't help swallowing.

Seeing Su Mei's exaggerated expression, Sister Hu smiled awkwardly:

"Sister Su, although my house is a little small, it is windproof and rainproof, so it is still comfortable to live in. You will definitely not regret buying it.

Doesn't it meet your requirements, a small house with a big yard?"

Sister Wang sounded a little guilty. She thought Su Mei's exaggerated expression was because she complained that the house was old.

But in fact, Su Mei didn't pay any attention to the size of the house at all. Her entire attention was on the yard.

It was not until Sister Hu spoke that Su Mei noticed the house.

She finally understood how old the old house Sister Hu was talking about was. This house was the kind that could only be seen in remote rural villages, a house made of mud with stone walls.

The mud had been broken into pieces, and the walls were covered with traces of the mud falling off, revealing the green rock inside.

The tiles on the roof were broken and there was some grass in the middle. Although Sister Hu said it was a house, Su Mei felt that she would believe it even if she said it was a pigsty.

This time she swallowed again:

"Are you sure this house is not leaky?"

"This is necessary. If you don't believe me, I'll take you in to see it!" Sister Hu said as she walked forward.

Li Shufen looked at the house and was a little disappointed. She whispered, "I'm afraid this house is not feasible. It's too shabby, just like the thatched cottage that Grandma Qiuqiu gave me."

Su Mei said nothing and followed Sister Hu in.

As long as the price is right, Su Mei will definitely buy this house. When she came here, she asked her master about the house prices in Yanjing and knew that a small courtyard could usually be bought for two to three thousand yuan.

What she was eyeing was the land. Such a large piece of land, there was no reason for Su Mei to give up.

The interior of the house is quite nice. Some of the older furniture has not been moved out. The interior is solid, clean, bright and drafty.

This is what a mud house is like. Although it may look ugly on the outside, the warmth inside is quite good. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is quite practical.

After reading it, Su Mei immediately made up her mind. She went out and asked Sister Hu directly in the yard:

"How much do you want for this house?"

"Originally, I wanted to sell this house for at least 4,000, but my family is in urgent need of money recently. I'll sell it to you for 3,000. I'm an honest person and I don't make random calls. How about a flat price?"

"Sister, this is a bit expensive! The house is so small, if you give me a little less, I will take it!"

"It's already very little, we can't have any less!"

"Just a little less." Su Mei insisted.

Sister Hu looked like she had suffered a great loss: "Then I'll give you a hundred less. If it's less, don't say anything. I won't sell it to you."

Afterwards, Su Mei negotiated with Sister Hu for a while, but Sister Hu refused to give in even a little.

Seeing that Sister Hu had no chance of lowering the price, Su Mei had no choice but to accept the price of 2,900. She was willing to buy it even at this price.

After all, this price was not much different from the price Su Mei had inquired about, and she was very satisfied with the land, so she didn't plan to argue about it anymore.

Just as she was about to confirm it with Sister Hu, Li Shufen next to her suddenly spoke up:

"If you don't want to sell it, forget it. We'll look for something else. This one is too expensive. We can't afford it. Sorry to bother you!"

After saying that, Li Shumei took Su Mei away.

Su Mei was confused and didn't understand why Li Shufen suddenly did this.

At this moment, Sister Hu's voice suddenly rang out from behind:

"Oh, why are you leaving just because of a disagreement? This price... the price can still be negotiated!"

Hearing this, Li Shufen turned around and gave Su Mei a sly smile.
