"I just want to ask if there are any vacant houses for sale in the village?"
Ye Jin asked with a smile, and Gu Yan also nodded with a smile.
"I want to open a small factory in the village, so I need to buy more houses."
"There are houses, but you want to open a factory in the village, so you'll need quite a few houses, right?"
The old man looked at her with an inquiring look, and Ye Jin nodded.
"We don't need too many, just 10 or so will be enough. We're a small business, and we can't handle too many. The key is that the price has to be fair, otherwise we'll look elsewhere."
Ye Jin had a bright smile on his face and spoke in a simple and honest manner. At the same time, he gave a small warning to the old men, telling them not to take advantage of themselves.
"I'm the village chief. What are your requirements for the house you want? I can take you to see it."
The old man looked at Ye Jin with a smile, but his expression became much more serious.
This little girl turned out to be someone who wanted to open her own factory, and it was far from as simple as she had imagined.
"Then I'll have to trouble the village chief to lead the way."
The two old men put away their chessboards, and the other old man stroked his beard.
"Then let's stop here today and fight again tomorrow. I must win tomorrow."
The old man was still a little unwilling, and the village chief looked at him with a smile and in a good mood.
He went home, got a bunch of keys, and took the two of them to look at houses door to door.
"This house has been abandoned for four years. The owner and his family were in a car accident, so I buried them myself and the house was confiscated."
"This house was once home to a happy family. However, the husband neglected his studies outside his job and started having affairs with questionable women. The wife was so enraged that she committed suicide by jumping into a well, leaving her children dead. When the husband returned, he couldn't handle the devastation and followed suit."
"There are a few houses here. A few years ago, there was a flood in the mountains. Most of the houses were half washed away. The owners of the houses were killed or injured. In the end, they all left the village."
The village chief continued to introduce the house, and Ye Jin felt it was very strange. It seemed that the owner of every house did not have a good end?
"And this house over here, the old man had only one son, and ended up losing his son. Not long after his son passed away, the old man also passed away from excessive grief."
The village chief sighed, and Gu Yan jokingly said, "If we buy all the haunted houses in the village, those ghosts won't come to trouble us in the middle of the night, right?"
"What you said is so vulgar, it gives me goosebumps."
Ye Jin also thought of this. The village chief smiled embarrassedly, then realized that he was too excited and blurted out the truth.
People who buy houses are most taboo about these things. It is also their own fault that they have never sold a house and do not know how to hide it, which is why so many troubles occur.
"Well, you're going to use these houses to build a factory, not to live in them. So, why not hire a few men with strong yang energy to shake up the town?"
"Even if you want to open a factory, you have to choose a place with good feng shui. Every house here has a death history. Who would dare to buy it?"
"Can't I sell this to you at a lower price?"
The village chief knew he was in the wrong and looked unhappy.
Ye Jin was slightly moved, and Gu Yan winked at her.
"Aside from these haunted houses, are there any other houses?"
Gu Yan's face remained expressionless, and Ye Jin also suppressed all emotions.
"There are still a few houses here, but they are scattered. And it's not that these houses are ownerless, it's just that the owners have been gone for many years and their family members have been unable to be contacted. The houses have become ownerless and have been returned to the village."
"Buying these houses is risky. It's better to buy the houses just mentioned. At least no one will bother you after you buy them."
The village chief took them to each house, constantly introducing the area and actual conditions of each house.
"Village Chief Li, are these two your relatives? Why are they so good-looking?"
"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, this is truly an enviable combination."
"This girl is very beautiful. Is she married? How about introducing her to my boss?"
The three of them walked while receiving other people's attention.
Everyone thought they were good-looking, but didn't think they were a couple.
After all, the distance between the two of them is too far. Ordinary couples walk together hand in hand.
The two seemed friendly and had a good relationship, but there was still something missing.
"Don't even think about this girl. She and her husband came to our village to buy a house and start a factory. They don't like your little boy."
The village chief greeted everyone with a smile. Lijia Village is so small that he knows every household.
"We, we are not."
Ye Jin explained with a blushing face, and everyone looked at them with even more ambiguous eyes.
I didn’t think that was the case at first, but now I think they look like a couple.
"Really, young man? Then let me bring my son over to take a look. Wow, this girl is really pretty!"
The aunt was about to leave, and Ye Jin was about to speak to stop her when Gu Yan suddenly put his arm around Ye Jin's shoulders and said with a smile.
"Auntie, this is the girl I like."
"Hahaha, this kid finally admitted it."
"Wouldn't it have been better if this had happened earlier? Oh, it's a pity that such a nice girl has a boyfriend!"
"Ouch, look at me, I almost made a big mistake!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Ye Jin's face turned even redder.
"We, we really are not."
"Why not? We all saw it."
"It's normal for a little girl to be thin-skinned. We've all been there, we understand!"
Everyone had a look of understanding on their faces. Although no one said anything else, the ambiguous looks in their eyes had already explained everything.
The three of them walked around the village. There were more than 100 households in the village, and there were only more than 20 houses that could be sold. The vacancy rate of these houses was quite high.
The two of them did not express their opinions until the village chief lost his patience.
"I've walked you around so much that my legs are almost broken. Now, tell me, which houses do you like?"
"The houses on the east end of the village look nice, but they're a bit scattered and don't quite fit in with our plans. The houses on the north side also look okay, but they're a bit too expensive."
Ye Jin held his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Those houses to the west are nice. They're basically all connected together, and the prices aren't expensive. Would you like to consider them?"
There are a total of 12 houses on the west side. If you buy all of them, you can almost connect that area.
And that area is exactly where the main demolition site will be in the future, and the price there is the most expensive in the entire village.
"If I buy all that house and land, what's your lowest price?"
Ye Jin looked over at it from a distance, and the village chief also looked over there, with a thoughtful look on his face.
