Chapter 265
Ever since Su Miao asked Su Hui to help keep an eye on the houses next door and nearby, Su Hui went out for a walk several times every day, for fear that she would miss the best time and the good house would be taken by someone else first.
Just now, when she was going out as usual, she saw a sign hanging next door saying that the whole yard was for sale, so she ran over to inform Su Miao without stopping.
Su Miao's eyes lit up after hearing this and she said, "Buy it! Which one?"
Su Hui replied, "It's the Zheng family on the left. I heard Uncle Zheng say that his son went back to school to get his scores estimated after the exam, and they were pretty good. The teacher said that if his score on the paper is around this, he'll probably be able to get into the university he applied for."
Su Miao nodded in understanding and said, "I heard that their family has company housing in the West District. In order to let their son devote himself to preparing for the exam, they bought a yard near No. 1 High School.
Normally, the grandparents take care of their grandson here. Now, they probably think their son will definitely pass the exam and won't need to repeat the year, so there's no point in him living here any longer. Plus, house prices have gone up a bit in recent years, so they think selling the yard would be a good way to make some money.
Su Miao thought to himself, that was really a bit anxious. Things like estimated scores and admission lines are hard to say until the last moment. Even if it's only one or two points off, it can still make a huge difference.
However, it is also possible that others have released their properties in advance and do not want to sell them so quickly. After all, we will know whether we can pass the exam in a month, and if everything is suitable at that time, we can sell it directly.
Su Hui hesitated and said, "Miaomiao, you just bought Aunt Ye's big yard. With the small yard over there, you now have two yards. Do you want to buy more? Will people gossip about you making so much money and say you're capitalistic?"
When talking about those four words, even though there were only two of them in the yard, Su Hui still lowered her voice unconsciously. After all, after a long period of political education, in their minds, those were not glorious words.
Su Miao acted indifferent: "Sister Hui, it's okay. We make money with our own hands and abilities, not by stealing or robbing. Whether it's doing business or buying a house, it's all legal and compliant. We paid all the taxes we owed.
Now even the leaders are talking about seeking development and promoting the economy, so we should not be bound by these outdated ideas. Didn’t Chairman Deng say that it doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
As long as we earn money within the policy scope and contribute to social and economic development, that's a good thing. As for how we spend our money, that's our own business and has nothing to do with those outsiders. Sometimes, it's okay to just listen to other people's comments and don't take them too seriously.
Su Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Should we ask for the price now?"
Su Miao shook her head. "Let's wait a few days before going. Otherwise, it will seem like we're in a hurry. Besides, we're next door, and if they know we're anxious to expand our yard, it'll be hard to negotiate a good price. We do want to buy a house, but we should save when we can and bargain whenever we can."
"How about if I run into Grandpa Zheng at the door someday and ask him about the price? There's the market price anyway, so I can't ask for something too outrageous, right?"
"That's fine! Just ask quietly, don't shoot!"
