When the old woman heard this, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. "Where do you want to live? Young man, that place is not clean. It's haunted every night. You'd better live somewhere else." If she had nowhere to move to, she would have moved away long ago.
"It's okay, Auntie, just tell us where the landlord lives." Su Jinyue said with a smile.
The old woman shook her head. "This house belongs to Ershanzi. They live in Wujiao Lane on East Street. If you go out from here and walk along the street to the end, you will see Wujiao Lane. Turn into the lane and the second house you see is Ershanzi's."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie!" Su Jinyue thanked the old woman and walked towards Wujiao Lane with Zhan Yihan.
Looking at the backs of Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walking away, the old woman shook her head and sighed, "Young people nowadays are so bold!"
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan quickly found Ershanzi's house, and Zhan Yihan walked up and knocked on the door.
Soon a young man came forward and opened the door. Seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan outside, the young man was a little surprised, "Who are you looking for?" He had never seen these two young men before. Did they knock on the wrong door?
"Excuse me, is that house on South Street yours?" Su Jinyue asked.
"Yes, what's the matter?" The young man nodded. If Su Jinyue hadn't asked, he would have almost forgotten the existence of the house.
"We want to stay in that house for a few days, so we came to tell you that we will pay you the rent according to the price of a guesthouse." Su Jinyue said.
The young man's eyes lit up and he stepped aside with a smile, "Come in and talk." This was truly a godsend that someone actually wanted to rent the haunted house.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walked into the yard and followed the young man into the house.
Seeing Ershanzi bringing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan in, the elderly couple in the room were a little surprised, "Shanzi, who are they?"
"They're here to rent a house," Ershanzi said, barely getting excited. When he first got the deed to the house, he wasn't particularly happy. It was bigger than his, so what? It wasn't habitable.
"Rent our house?" Ershanzi's father asked in surprise. Their house was so small, where would they live if they rented it out?
"No, it's the house we rented on South Street." Ershanzi said.
"That house is haunted..." Ershanzi's mother was about to say that the house was haunted, but was pulled by Ershanzi's father and stopped talking.
Ershanzi glared at his mother in dissatisfaction, then looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan and said with a smile, "How many days do you want to stay?"
"One week." Zhan Yihan said calmly.
Ershanzi thought for a while and said, "How about thirty...fifty yuan? What do you think?" Fifty yuan was his salary for one and a half months.
Su Jinyue pondered for a moment. "Are you selling that house?" She suddenly wanted to buy it. Now that she could see through things, she would have many opportunities to gamble on stones in Yuncheng. If she had her own house, it would be much more convenient. The house was in a great location, so it would be a great place to open a B&B.
"You want to buy that house?" Ershanzi's family was shocked.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue nodded.
Ershanzi looked at his parents and said, "Let's go discuss it. You wait a moment." After that, he took his parents into the inner room.
Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Yihan, "Do you think I'm too impulsive?"
Zhan Yihan smiled faintly and shook his head, "No, I believe you." As long as Jin Yue likes it, he will support her unconditionally.
Su Jinyue smiled brightly, "You spoil me so much, what if you spoil me?"
"If I spoil you, you will be mine forever." Zhan Yihan said with a curled lip.
"You're so mean!" Su Jinyue glared at Zhan Yihan with a smile. But she really liked the feeling of being spoiled by him. That feeling was like eating honey, sweet to the heart.
Ershanzi and his family came out and sat down. Ershanzi said, "We've discussed it. If you want it, it'll be five hundred yuan." The house was just sitting there anyway, and they were overjoyed that someone bought it.
Su Jinyue thought about it and bargained, "Three hundred!" It was impossible for the other party to give whatever price he wanted.
"Let's add a bit more to the starting point. This price is too cheap. How about 400?" Ershanzi asked tentatively. He wasn't sure about his price either; after all, a murder had occurred in that house.
"Forget it then," Su Jinyue said, about to stand up. It was 1985, not ten years from now. Buying a piece of land and building a house would only cost a few thousand yuan. The most important thing was that the other party knew the house was unclean but didn't tell them clearly. If they had, she might have bought it for four hundred yuan.
Seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan were about to leave, Ershanzi became anxious and quickly said, "Just three hundred." Three hundred was not a small amount of money for them, and besides, this amount of money was like falling from the sky.
"Okay!" Su Jinyue agreed.
"Then let's take the deed to the police station to transfer the ownership right now," Ershanzi said. He was worried about what would happen if the other party didn't want it anymore.
"Okay!" Su Jinyue agreed readily.
The procedure was very quick. Both parties signed and put their fingerprints on the property, and the deed and money were exchanged and it was done.
When Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan returned to the courtyard, Wei Yuanxing and the others had already cleared the weeds in the yard. Although it still looked a bit shabby, it was no problem for people to live in.
Seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan coming back, Wei Yuanxing walked over with a smile, "Take a look, how is it? Doesn't it feel like a brand new experience?"
"Not bad!" Su Jinyue nodded with a smile.
"Have you found the landlord?" Bai Tingxue walked forward and asked.
"We found it and bought the house." Zhan Yihan nodded.
"What?! You bought this house? You guys are so fast." Wei Yuanxing looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan in disbelief.
"I think this house is nice, and the landlord is willing to sell it," Su Jinyue said with a smile. She wouldn't lose out on a few hundred bucks anyway.
"You're awesome!" Wei Yuanxing gave Su Jinyue a speechless thumbs-up. He was certain that this was Su Jinyue's idea; Yihan wouldn't be so impulsive.
Su Jinyue smiled and touched her nose, "Have you arranged all the rooms?" The house was not small. She and Yihan had seen it before. Apart from the kitchen and the main hall, there were more than a dozen rooms, which was more than enough for them to live in.
"Everything is arranged. The middle room is reserved for you." Wei Yuanxing pointed at the middle room with a wicked smile. "I've checked it out. The bed in that room is the largest and most suitable for two people to sleep in."
