Ning Xiyue was not exaggerating. If she didn't know that the land here would be valuable, she would definitely not have taken it so easily just based on the appearance of the house.
The two thousand seven hundred yuan did not buy a house, but land.
The yard was full of potholes, as if someone had dug deep into it.
The stone table and stone benches in the pavilion mentioned by Comrade Ji were probably too hard to escape the damage, with only some small nicks on them. After polishing and patching the edges, they can be used again as good tables and benches.
Overall, it seems that only the old apricot tree in this large yard is relatively intact. The branches below should have been trimmed by the owner, and there are no messy broken branches, which makes it much more pleasing to the eye.
The main building was not so lucky and was demolished into pieces.
Many windows are gone, and even the door bars and frames are crumbling. Only the walls look relatively solid.
But there were a lot of bad words scribbled on the outer walls, as well as a lot of black stuff, some of which were caused by smoke, but it was not a big deal.
But the black color of some parts of the walls in the room was different, and there was an indescribable stench, very much like something like snot that had dried up after being touched too much. It was disgusting to look at and unpleasant to smell.
When Ning Xiyue walked to the door of one of the houses, she pinched her nose and forced her way out of the house without even looking any further.
There was no complete furniture in the whole house. All the furniture was disassembled into pieces of wood and piled up in the house.
The house was extremely dirty, with all kinds of garbage everywhere.
The stench was even more pungent, especially since there was a strong smell of urine and feces in the room just now. When mixed with other smells, it was even stinkier than when Xia Zhipeng and Li Jiandang fell into the cesspool.
She was afraid that if she stayed in there for too long, her clothes would become pickled and smelly, and she would feel dizzy.
Ning Xiyue reasonably suspected that there was a high probability that the owner of the house disliked the house, so he immediately looked for a buyer to sell it after taking the house back.
Seeing this, the young homeowner next to him touched his nose a little embarrassedly, a guilty look flashed across his face as he covered his nose and followed them out.
I was also worried that the buyer would be dissatisfied and ask for the deposit back and not buy it.
Many people had come to see it before them, but were all successfully discouraged by the scene inside the house.
We finally found a house that was very willing and had paid a large deposit. We had to do everything we could to sell the house today.
The homeowner adjusted his glasses, observed the two real buyers, and then stole a glance at the expression of the lesbian who could really make the decision, and asked cautiously:
"Comrades, when are we going to transfer the ownership of the house? I have time today, so why don't we go now?"
Ning Xiyue felt a little uncomfortable in her throat and waved her hand without answering for the time being. She exhaled deeply, as if to expel all the bad smell she had just inhaled.
Ji Yanming unscrewed the water bottle she was carrying on his back and handed it to her.
She took the kettle and took a few big gulps. This was where the disadvantage of having a sensitive nose came into play. It was really a pain.
The homeowner saw Ning Xiyue waving her hands, and his heart skipped a beat, becoming even more uneasy.
She wouldn't want to buy it, would she? If she doesn't want it, who else can she find? Those people have lowered the price to over a thousand, which is ridiculously low. My father can't even get back the money he put into buying the house. The price her family offered is the right one.
The homeowner was crying in his heart, struggling with his conscience and wondering whether he should lower the price and how much to lower it by.
After drinking the water, Ning Xiyue finally suppressed the discomfort in her throat.
He turned to look at the homeowner next to him and shook his head, sighing, "Your house is really not big enough for anyone to live in. You'll have to tear it all down and rebuild it, which will be very expensive."
The homeowner thought this made sense and understood what the buyer meant. He felt more at ease and smiled friendly:
"Comrade, I see you're here sincerely to buy a house. So, I'll give you a discount of two hundred yuan. How about two thousand five hundred yuan? Let's just be friends."
"?"
Ning Xiyue withdrew her gaze from the house and turned to look at the owner.
She was so surprised that she just sighed casually and was planning how to rebuild the house after the postponement. Unexpectedly, she was misunderstood by the homeowner.
If he offered to lower the price for her and save her two big dollars and two hundred, she would of course be willing to do so. She extended her hand to shake his, "Deal."
Datou looked at the sister-in-law with admiration. He didn't expect that just one meeting would allow the homeowner to reduce the agreed price by two hundred.
Only Ning Xiyue knew that this was a coincidence, but she didn't need to explain.
Several people sat under the pavilion to make the final payment.
I had paid a deposit of 500 yuan before, but now I only have to pay 2,000 yuan.
Ning Xiyue took out twenty big unity bills from the money she had prepared first, put the remaining money on the table and handed it to the landlord.
Seeing the money on the table, the landlord finally felt relieved, smiled, and happily lit the money.
Following the same procedure again, Datou drove them to the local housing management office to complete the formalities.
The second time she came out of the Housing Management Office, she now owned two houses.
After getting in the car, Ning Xiyue returned the money that Datou had paid in advance. Datou glanced at Ji Yanming who was sitting next to him, and only accepted the money after getting his signal.
"Big Head, thank you for troubling me for this period of time." Ning Xiyue expressed her gratitude and then invited him, "Stay for dinner tonight. I'll show you my cooking skills myself, and then let Brother Ji show you his. Have you ever tried his cooking skills? The taste is amazing."
Datou originally wanted to refuse, not wanting to trouble others, but when he heard that Brother Ji also wanted to show off his skills, he immediately nodded:
"Then I'll have to trouble my sister-in-law and her family tonight. It just so happens that I haven't eaten the dishes made by Brother Ji yet, so I must try them today. Brother Ji, is that okay?"
Ji Yanming smiled gently and nodded. "Okay, I'll be the chef tonight. I'll make sure you eat your fill. Let's stop by the vegetable market and buy some food."
"Okay, let's go to the market. I know there's a state-owned market with a lot of vegetables and meat. It's close to your house, too. Let's go there and buy some. I need some food today."
Datou was happy now and drove with more energy. He had a smile on his face and drove straight to the vegetable market.
On the way, Datou also introduced the places around where they lived, and Ning Xiyue listened carefully.
I will be living there for a while in the future, so I must get to know the surrounding buildings clearly so that I can buy things there and tell my family about it when I get back.
After arriving at the vegetable market, Ning Xiyue memorized the surrounding roads even more. Among eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, eating was the most important thing. She didn't have to worry about other things, but she had to remember the roads to the vegetable market.
When she returned home, Ning Xiyue discovered that in the short time she had been out doing something, her family had already packed up all the things they had brought and put them in their proper places.
There was still a wisp of smoke rising from the kitchen.
The house suddenly became warmer, more down-to-earth, and more like home.
