Chapter 104 Buying a House
Zhou Yuehong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Xinbai's answer, but then looked at them suspiciously, "You..."
Yang Jinsheng reacted so quickly. He frowned and questioned Jiang Xinbai, "Who asked you to agree? You agreed after I agreed. You didn't earn the love money, did you?"
Jiang Xinbai glanced at Zhou Yuehong and also became angry, "Why can't I agree? I still have a share of the family's money. What are you yelling about?"
Zhou Yuehong's face froze. It was bad. Don't regret it. She hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them to stop arguing. "Don't quarrel. What's there to quarrel about between husband and wife? You guys agreed to pay 350 yuan. You can't go back on your word. How about we go and transfer the ownership now?"
"If I don't want to go, why should I go?" Yang Jinsheng looked unconvinced.
"Let's go right away, Auntie. I'll go with you," Jiang Xinbai said angrily.
"Okay, I'll go right away, but do you have enough money?" Zhou Yuehong was a little worried. She couldn't do without enough money.
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at Yang Jinsheng and said, "Go home and get the money."
"I won't go," Yang Jinsheng stood there with his chest folded, not moving.
"Oh, you..."
"Okay, okay. I just didn't ask you to bargain. How can a grown man like you be so stingy? I'll give in. How about three hundred and forty-five? I'll give you five dollars. I'm generous enough, right?" Zhou Yuehong could still tell the difference between the big and the small, so she was willing to give up five dollars.
Jiang Xinbai's lips curled up slightly, but she quickly suppressed them again, and then she yelled at Yang Jinsheng fiercely: "Go home and get your money and ID."
"Don't be so mean, don't be so mean." Zhou Yuehong walked back and forth between the couple and tried to comfort them, fearing that Yang Jin would get angry and not go home to get the money.
"Hmph, that's better," Yang Jinsheng snorted arrogantly, patted his butt and left.
Zhou Yuehong looked at his back with some concern and asked, "Will your husband go home to get the money?"
Jiang Xinbai nodded affirmatively, "Of course he will, unless he doesn't want to continue."
"Oh, niece, you need to change your temper. Which man can stand you being so fierce..."
"By the way, auntie, do you have all the documents? Is there any dispute about the house?" Such things are not uncommon, so it is better to make it clear in advance.
Zhou Yuehong rolled her eyes at her. "My house is clean. I'm willing to go to the Housing Authority with you to transfer the ownership. What are you worried about? You're suspicious of such a big bargain. If I hadn't retired to Hai City in the future, you wouldn't have taken advantage of it!"
Jiang Xinbai touched her nose. She did get some advantage, but she certainly couldn't say that. "Aunt, look at what you said. I didn't get any advantage. Look at this yard. I still need to tidy up the back and repair the house. There are still many places to spend money. No wonder my husband won't let me buy it. I..."
Seeing Jiang Xinbai talking more and more, Zhou Yuehong was afraid that she would regret it again, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Hey, I live in Hai City. If you have the chance in the future, please come to Hai City to see me. I will treat you to a meal."
Jiang Xinbai laughed twice and thought to himself, why didn’t you leave me your address?
At this time, Yang Jinsheng also came back and raised his chin towards the two of them, "Let's go and transfer the ownership."
When Jiang Xinbai and the others received the hot property certificate, their eyes widened. "This is the property certificate, just a piece of paper. What if it is lost?"
"Then put it away. It's the same in every family. Let's go back over there first." Yang Jinsheng said with a smile, holding Jiang Xinbai's hand.
Returning to this dilapidated courtyard again, both of them had different feelings. Jiang Xinbai took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Ah, that's great. This will be our home from now on."
Yang Jinsheng looked around carefully again and said with a smile, "We may have really found a bargain this time. Although the house is dilapidated, the main structure is still good. We just need to patch up the walls and cover the leaking areas with good tiles. There is still a large open space in the backyard. We can build a kitchen and a toilet and bathroom on the other side. This way we don't have to squeeze into the public toilet with others."
Jiang Xinbai nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Well, build a washbasin on the left side of the front yard. You can wash your face and brush your teeth here. Oh, and you can also wash clothes. Then pull a rope here and dry the clothes in the front yard. I've seen it. The sunlight in the front yard is definitely better than that in the back yard."
"Okay, let's go back and draw a sketch, and then slowly refine it, a little bit a day. There's no rush anyway." Yang Jinsheng said with a smile.
"Why aren't you anxious? I am anxious. I just want to live in my own house." Jiang Xinbai thought that it would be better to get it ready and move in earlier so as to avoid Su Qiuyan's anger. Besides, this place is close to the family compound, so it would be convenient for the mother-in-law to help take care of the baby.
"By the way, what should we say when we go back? Tell the truth that we bought a house?" Yang Jinsheng was a little conflicted.
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at him, "Of course you can't say that. I've already agreed with Aunt Zhou that we're renting it for 20 years, and the rent is paid annually."
It is difficult to buy and sell houses nowadays. When they transferred the ownership before, they did it in the name of relatives. Most people would not go to the housing management office to ask whether they bought the house themselves, so Jiang Xinbai was not worried at all.
Yang Jinsheng smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Xiao Bai, you are really thoughtful. Just like the two of us acted and fooled the homeowner just now, he lowered the price on his own. Otherwise, there would be more room for negotiation."
"That's right. In this kind of situation, one person has to play the good cop and the other has to play the bad cop. Just tell me if it works or not! She looks so anxious, afraid that we won't buy it. And your acting skills are pretty good. If I didn't know you were pretending, I would have thought you didn't want to buy it!" Jiang Xinbai joked with a smile.
Yang Jinsheng walked up to his wife and hugged her, saying with a smile, "That's because you taught me well."
"You're so talkative," Jiang Xinbai glanced at him, but she liked to hear it, haha!
Jiang Xinbai and his friend returned to the family compound while talking and laughing. As soon as they entered the door, they found that the atmosphere was not very good. Father-in-law Yang Fugui was frowning and no one knew what he was thinking about. The eldest and second brothers were also doing something silently beside them.
"What's going on?" Yang Jinsheng asked curiously.
Yang Fugui turned his head after hearing his youngest son's voice and said, "Jinsheng, come here too, let's discuss this."
"Dad, what's going on? You look so serious." Jiang Xinbai was also a little uneasy. Could it be that their house purchase was discovered?
