Black lacquered elm furniture, also furniture for the whole house!
No problem!
Not to mention cheating!
Gu Qingcheng looked at her two sons, then at the dark furniture, and her eyes began to well up with tears.
She pursed her lips and said in frustration, "I, I got fooled again! I'm so useless!"
I originally wanted to find a bargain, but I didn't expect to be cheated.
What is this called?
You end up losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.
"Mother, how did you get fooled?"
Zhao Qingyun saw that his mother was blaming herself and feeling sad, and there was a gloomy atmosphere around her.
He quickly took Gu Qingcheng's arm and soothed her softly, "Look at this courtyard. It's just behind the academy. It won't take more than a quarter of an hour to walk there."
"The yard is neat and tidy, the house is clean, there's a grape trellis, a well, and a full set of furniture. We can move in right away."
"As for the neighbors on both sides, although I haven't visited them yet, I see that their courtyards are well-maintained. They should all be well-behaved and respectable people."
The location is good, the yard is neat, and the neighbors are not bad either. This house is not a loss at all!
At most, I didn't get the advantage my mother wanted!
"Yes! Mom, I like it very much! Especially this yard, it's so big, it's not smaller than our home at all!"
"I'm going to build a wooden frame here and put a few stone blocks on it. After we move, I can continue practicing martial arts."
Zhao Qingsong also felt his mother's frustration and hurriedly comforted her with a smile.
"Is this place really that nice? I, I wasn't deceived?"
When Gu Qingcheng heard her two sons' persuasion, she twisted her two tender fingers together. She quietly raised her eyes and stole a glance at her two sons.
Zhao Qingyun didn't rush to speak. Instead, he asked thoughtfully, "Have you signed both the white and red deeds?"
Nowadays, when buying a house, the contract signed privately by the seller and the buyer is called a white deed.
If a white deed is sent to the government for certification and stamping, it becomes a red deed.
Only a white deed is not very secure and can easily be exploited.
It is safer only if both the white deed and the red deed are completed. Even if something goes wrong, the government will investigate.
"It's signed! Both the white and red deeds are complete! The broker I found is a legitimate broker, very respectful!"
Gu Qingcheng said hurriedly.
"Isn't that safe? You haven't been cheated!"
Zhao Qingyun was afraid that his own mother would not even know how to sign the red deed, and would be directly cheated by the pawnbroker and the landlord.
However, after thinking about it, Zhao Qingyun knew: this is unlikely.
It’s not something that everyone in the county knows about the partnership between my mother and the wife of the county magistrate in opening a medicine store, but people doing business on the street should have heard of it.
Not to mention, A Niang found a regular dental clinic.
The brokers in this kind of business may use some tricks, but they dare not commit fraud openly.
This time, A Niang's purchase of a house was a normal transaction. She didn't take over everything, but she didn't suffer any loss either.
Zhao Qingyun was already very satisfied, and felt inexplicably at ease.
Gu Qingcheng got confirmation from her son himself, confirming that she had not been deceived, and her depressed mood improved.
She did not continue to cry, but returned to her usual self.
However, Zhao Qingyun, who had sharp ears, still heard his mother muttering softly: "I thought I had become stronger, but I didn't expect——"
I don’t know whether my mother didn’t finish the rest of the words or Zhao Qingyun himself didn’t hear them clearly.
Zhao Qingyun couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: It turned out that not only was he shocked by his mother's "accidental success", but even his own mother had made a wrong judgment about him because of her past "record"!
She is still the same ignorant, gullible and easily deceived Gu from the Zhao family!
…
After buying the house, Gu's mother and son began planning to move.
Everyone in the Zhao family's old house was stunned: "What? You're moving to the county?"
Everyone was surprised at first, and then they were envious and jealous.
Alas, how much money did Zhao Guodong leave behind to allow this orphan and his widowed mother to buy a house in the county?
Then, everyone was somewhat happy: "Now that Gu has moved away, do we no longer have to work for her?"
Patriarch Zhao: ...Dream on!
It's only been a short time, and you guys want to give up?
The same old saying, if you don’t work, you pay back!
What?
The Gu mother and son moved to the county town, so they can no longer help?
Patriarch Zhao laughed, "Who said that we don't need help when we go to the county? The county is not like our country, where even a vegetable or an egg costs money!"
"As for you, every family should go and deliver some vegetables, eggs, etc. to Gu's family every ten days."
"When delivering the gifts, please fetch some water and chop some firewood for the Gu family mother and son."
"Oh, right, there are a few more kids. You guys should take care of them. Go to the county to keep Gu company and help her out."
"As an orphan and a widow, even if we leave Zhaojiazhuang and go to the county, we won't be bullied!"
Patriarch Zhao made the final decision and assigned tasks to the people in the old house again...
