"It's not expensive anymore. If we weren't in a hurry to sell it, we would have to pay at least 23,000." The homeowner and his son both wore glasses and looked quite gentle.
We just talked about this. It turns out that the owner of the house is retired, and his son did not go abroad. He got a teaching job in Shenzhen and then started dating a girlfriend who is a local in Shenzhen. The girl asked to buy a house in Shenzhen, so the couple thought about selling their house in their hometown and buying one there, and never coming back.
"The Shenzhen Stock Exchange is developing very fast, and the housing prices change every day." Li Yutong couldn't help but say.
The homeowner laughed and said, "The little girl may not be that old, but she knows a lot. The development of Shenzhen is as fast as a running train."
"If I had money, I would also go to Shenzhen to buy it." Li Yutong smiled.
To be honest, the reality is that she has no money.
"Less, less." Li Hongwei was still hesitant, but couldn't bear to give it up.
"Forget it, forget it. Seeing that you are sincere about buying it and I am in a hurry to sell it, I will charge you an integer. But you have to pay the handling fee yourself. Is that okay?" said the homeowner.
Li Hongwei asked about the price and agreed.
It went so smoothly that Li Yutong was quite surprised. She thought, it should be her who said that it was unsafe for her and her grandmother to live in the store, and she said it casually. The store owner thought that they could save some rent by sleeping in the store, and he felt that he was losing out. With all these fussing around, her father Li Hongwei was very angry.
"What about the furniture?" Chen Xiaoying asked.
"I'll leave it to you. You can't take it away." The landlord smiled and looked like a good-tempered person.
Li Yutong thought, what a foresight, to develop in Shenzhen and buy a house directly there. By then, not to mention ten years later, even in five years, he would never regret selling the house here and buying one there.
It's that fast.
By the time Li Hongwei reacted, the real estate certificate was already in his hand, with the names of Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang on it standing out.
"Just move the quilt and mattress over here at night and you can sleep here." Chen Xiaoying said with a smile.
The homeowner and his family are leaving on the train tonight. They also have a house they like in Shenzhen and are waiting to book it once they receive the money.
Although they have a place to live, Li Hongwei and his wife do not live there. They have a lot of work to do in the fields. In their eyes, business is temporary and the land in the countryside is the foundation of the family.
If the business fails, I can go back to farming. At least I won’t starve to death.
Chen Xiaoying's fried skewers shop was doing well, but soon something unpleasant happened. The landlord officially notified them that the rent had been increased, and if they didn't increase the rent, they would have to leave immediately.
Chen Xiaoying and Li Yutong, both grandparents and grandchildren, were very angry.
"Our contract clearly states that it has not expired yet."
"Then go and sue us." The landlord's wife was big and strong, and looked very arrogant.
The people selling meat-stuffed biscuits across the street couldn't help but sympathize with Chen Xiaoying and Li Yutong. How could they reason with the landlord's wife? But it was not easy to stand up for them if they wanted to set up a stall here to do business.
Go to court?
Chen Xiaoying was a little timid. She had never dealt with anyone above the level of village chief in her life.
"Aren't there still two months left? Tell us to finish the work in these two months, and then we'll move," said Li Yutong.
"Then hurry up! Also, when I rented the house, I didn't have so many nails in my shop." The landlord's wife came into the shop and pointed and drew: "There are so many wallpapers? They have damaged the walls of my house."
"And the floor tiles are so dirty. How can I rent out this shop in the future?"
"Why is there such a big crack here?"
Li Yutong looked over and saw that it was a gap in the tiles in the corner of the wall. They usually wouldn't notice it at all. It was obvious that the landlord was deliberately making things difficult for them.
This was the first time Chen Xiaoying encountered such a scoundrel: "Don't be unreasonable. Before I came to do business here, this place was a place selling stir-fried dishes. The walls were blackened by smoke. We cleaned them and then put up wallpaper..."
She is back now. Why did she quit her shop in such a good location? It turns out that she was kicked out by the landlord.
Before she finished her words, the landlord's wife waved her hand and said, "Don't say so much. Why don't I remember that the wall was blackened by smoke?"
Li Yutong didn't want to argue with her anymore: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
If she wants an extra 200 yuan in compensation, just give it to her. It's not worth it to continue to bother with her.
"You must pay for the damages since the things are broken. When I was renovating the house, I used only high-quality materials. You must pay at least two thousand dollars!" the landlord's wife yelled, and was about to say something else.
"Li Yutong?" A slightly hoarse voice with a puberty change sounded: "Is this the store your family opened?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and except for Li Yutong, everyone was stunned.
I saw a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing the black and red university uniform unique to Chinese people, standing at the door with his hands in his pockets. He was tall and thin, but full of energy and did not look weak. He had a fair face, handsome features, eyes as dark as stars, and he exuded a sense of alienation involuntarily.
After being surprised, many people began to discuss the matter quietly.
"This kid is so handsome, like a movie star, he must be from our area."
"Yes, he speaks Mandarin."
"Xiao Yu, who is this?" Chen Xiaoying also came back to her senses and asked her quickly. Her family didn't seem to have such relatives. Was he a relative of her aunt's relative?
Li Yutong didn't know what to say.
"Grandma, it's me..." Li Yutong hadn't said anything yet.
Shen Jiaze glanced at the landlord's wife calmly: "You must be a relative of Director Cui, right? I will ask my uncle to ask Director Cui about your matter later. Is this how your family members do things outside?"
The landlord's wife didn't know who the boy was, but she said it was Director Cui.
Director Cui is her family’s big supporter.
"Don't scare me. I don't know who Director Cui is."
"Isn't the thing in the tea can stuffed in your house?" Shen Jiaze frowned.
The landlord's wife felt a pang in her heart. Her son was about to graduate, and she wanted to get her son a job in a government agency, so she went to find Director Cui.
"This, what kind of tea this is, I don't know, I don't know." She waved her hands quickly.
Shen Jiaze smiled and said, "Can this store still be opened?"
"Ah, open it, open it! Why not open it!" The landlord's wife's face changed drastically, she smiled brightly and said to Chen Xiaoying: "When we first met, I felt that you two were both honest people, so I was relieved to hand over the shop to you. Use it, use it."
"That wall?" Li Yutong looked at her.
"Don't worry, as long as the house is not demolished, you can do whatever you want." The landlord's wife felt her heart bleeding.
"Rent?" Li Yutong looked at her.
"The rent remains the same as before and will not increase. Why should it increase? Our fate is here, it would be embarrassing to raise the rent." The landlord's wife seemed to be very good at talking.
Li Yutong still shook her head: "Two months is up, let's move."
"Not renting it anymore?" The landlord's wife was stunned.
Li Yutong shook her head: "I can't afford it."
The landlord's wife's fat face suddenly became distorted. This little country girl has a lot of strange things to do.
At such a young age, they are already hooking up with boys from rich families.
