Three days later, Xiao Lei replied to Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan, and the two brothers agreed to sell it to them for 7,000 yuan.
After receiving the news, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan immediately rode their bicycles to the Song family.
"Master, we've looked at that house. It's a little small, but the price is okay. If you think it's suitable, you can take the money and transfer the ownership."
Qiao Jiuru told the master the location, size, layout and price of the house, and then waited for his decision.
"Is it the Lu family seven alleys ahead?! I also heard that the two brothers' companies both gave them houses."
Xiao Lei's family wasn't far from here, and everyone lived in the same area. Mr. Song was out sweeping the streets and toilets all day. He'd been in Beijing a lot, so he'd heard about some people.
"Yes, the last name is Lu, and there are two brothers in the family. It is true that they want to sell the house because their company bought it. I don't know if it is the family that the master mentioned."
Su Huaiyuan had also heard about it in the past few days, but he was not familiar with the people in this area. He only knew a little about the two and their units.
"Then they are right. There is indeed no problem with the house. We can buy it."
Mr. Song nodded. Although it was seven alleys away from here, it only took more than ten minutes to ride a bicycle, so it was quite close.
"Huaiyuan, Jiuru, that house is ours now."
"Thank you so much for your help this time. But I still need you to do me a favor."
Ever since my eldest grandson and granddaughter came back from the countryside, our house has been full. Fortunately, my eldest grandson lives in the school dormitory, and later my eldest granddaughter also lived in the school dormitory when she went to high school, otherwise the children would still be squeezed together to sleep.
After the rehabilitation, the house was not returned to them, but fortunately they had received a few yuan in back wages. Add to that the thousand yuan Qiao Jiuru had given them a few days ago, and the reward the eldest grandson later received for selling wild products for the production team, and the mountain products he secretly asked Xiao Lei to sell, they saved up a total of several hundred yuan.
Now, Mr. Song also has more than 5,000 yuan in his pocket. After Song Luoyun and Song Luoshu learned that their family was buying a house, the brother and sister took the initiative to give all their savings, totaling nearly 1,000 yuan, to Mr. Song.
The Song family only had a little over 6,000 yuan, nearly 1,000 yuan short of 7,000 yuan. The master planned to lend it to Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru first, and then return it to them after he sold the two courtyards.
"Master, you are too polite. If you say so, we will definitely help you."
Qiao Jiuru guessed that the master might not have enough money and probably wanted to borrow some from them.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the master embarrassedly told her family's predicament.
"We only have 6,173 yuan now, nearly 900 yuan short of 7,000 yuan. I'd like to borrow 900 yuan from you. Once I've negotiated with the leaders and workers of the two factories to sell the two houses, I'll return the money to you."
A few days ago, Mr. Song, following the advice of Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan, spent nearly two months investigating and listening to the families in his two courtyards. In the end, he decided to sell the house according to their advice.
He had recently been in contact with the leaders of the two factories that lived in his two compounds and told them that he planned to sell the houses to the workers of their factories, and that he would sell them by the room.
From now on, these two houses will belong to them. When the time comes, they can take the house deeds to the housing management office and then exchange them for their own house deeds according to the house type and area.
As long as they bought it, it would belong to them in the future and no one could drive them away. It would also solve the housing problem for the factory workers.
Mr. Song followed the instructions and words given by Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan, speaking to the two factory leaders one by one for a long, in-depth discussion. The leaders of both factories were deeply moved, and they understood that it was unreasonable for their workers to occupy other people's houses. However, this was a legacy issue, and they had no choice, and they certainly didn't want their workers to be driven away.
Now, Mr. Song is willing to sell houses to their workers, which solves their housing problem and allows the workers to buy houses with their own money without the factory having to pay for it. This is simply killing three birds with one stone.
"Master, this is one thousand dollars. It has been prepared for you a long time ago."
Qiao Jiuru took out a thousand yuan from her bag and stuffed it into the master's pocket. In fact, she prepared three thousand yuan, but she didn't expect the master to only lend one thousand yuan.
Mr. Song was so excited that he couldn't speak as he clutched the thousand yuan in his hand. His eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru not only saved their family's lives, but also kept them alive.
"I'll return it to you right away once I've collected the money for the two rooms over there."
Mr. Song repeatedly assured Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan that he would not take advantage of them anymore.
After deciding to buy the house and preparing the money, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan accompanied Mr. Song and made an appointment with the two Lu brothers to go to the Housing Management Office to transfer the ownership.
The Housing Management Office was Guangsheng's acquaintance, and they quickly helped with the transfer. Afterwards, Mr. Song even gave the Housing Management Office staff three cigarettes and a can of White Rabbit candy as a token of his gratitude.
The name of Mr. Song was not on this house, but Song Luoyun's.
Mr. Song had bought a house but had not yet visited it, so Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan accompanied the old man to buy a new lock first, and then went to visit the house together to change the lock.
When we got to the room, we first replaced the new locks inside and out. After closing the door, we took a good look around the room.
The master took a look around and was very satisfied with the house. He always believed in the vision of Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan.
"This house is for Xiaoyun. After we get the money from that place, we'll buy one for Xiaoshu and Xiaoluo. If we still have enough, we'll buy one for Xiaoluo. As for Xiaoyu's house, we'll wait until Xiaoyun and I find time to go back to our hometown and find the money we buried there. Then we can buy him one. Or we can give Xiaoyu the small courtyard we live in now. In short, all of them children will have a share."
Mr. Song had it all figured out. The two courtyards were both large houses with two and a half to three courtyards, dozens of rooms. He sold each room for one thousand yuan, which would bring in nearly 40,000 yuan.
If I had 30,000 or 40,000 yuan to buy a small courtyard, I'd buy three sets and give the rest to the children.
"Master, if those things in my hometown are hard to sell, you can sell them to us."
Qiao Jiuru suddenly said to the master that she still had money in her space, which she could use to exchange for some antique gold jewelry.
"No need to buy it, I'll give it to you as a gift. When the time comes, you can take whatever you like, niece."
After hearing this, Master Song shook his head and refused. He had thought about it at the time. If he returned to his hometown one day, he would take out the things buried there and give some to Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan.
"No, sir, I won't take your things for free. Let's settle the bill accordingly. You're not rich, and Xiaoshu, Xiaoluo, and the others have plenty of other little money to spend."
"You guys have helped our family a lot, and we have taken a lot of your things for free. This is a little gift from the old man, I don't intend to give it all to you."
"Master, please leave me some more money. I think I can do some business today and tomorrow. I'd like to ask you for money to form a partnership then."
"Really?! If we can do business, then I will definitely listen to you and let's do it together."
