Chapter 65 House Viewing
Wait until evening.
Finally, Bai Ningyu's father arrived.
Mr. Bai is a very easy-going person, always smiling, and he becomes very enthusiastic when he sees Zhu Susui.
Knowing that she came for the house matter, he took her there without even having dinner.
Zhu Suisui felt a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle Bai, why don't you eat first? I'm not in a hurry."
"No, let's take care of your business first. We can look for a house soon. You can eat after you come back. Don't delay your business." Father Bai had a good impression of Zhu Suisui.
Previously, Bai Ningyu went to the countryside as an educated youth, and it was thanks to the care of the Zhu family that she did not suffer any losses. Later, she was able to come back with the help of Zhu Suisui's husband's family. In addition, her good-for-nothing son started a business and actually made some money recently. He had originally given up hope, but after asking, he found out that it was Zhu Suisui's idea, and naturally he had a better impression of her.
Otherwise, if Zhu Suisui said he wanted to find a house, Bai's father would not have found one so quickly.
Bai Ningyu also said: "Don't be polite to our family. You let us do this, which means you don't treat us as outsiders. If you are still polite now, I will be angry with you."
Hearing this.
Zhu Suisui felt warm inside and did not refuse.
The three of them went to the big fence together.
Walk all the way to the entrance of the alley.
On the way here, Bai's father introduced the situation to Zhu Suisui.
"The owner of this house is a lonely old man with a weird temper. No one knows where he came from. He was a street sweeper before the opening. After the opening, the house was returned to him. People nearby call him Old Man Shou. Usually, no relatives come to see him. But I heard that sometimes a young man comes to bring food and drinks, but he always throws them out. He has a bad temper."
"He would curse at anyone who said anything, so after a while, even the neighbors on the street didn't want to talk to him anymore."
Hearing this.
Zhu Suisui was a little confused. "Uncle, from what you said, this house should be the only place this old man can live. He has no relatives or friends, so why would he be willing to sell the house?"
Father Bai said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, I have asked about the property for you. It is an independent property, so you don't need to worry about it. As for the rest, you can talk to him yourself."
It seems that I still need to have a talk with that old man in person.
While they were talking, they finally arrived in front of the house.
This house is an old quadrangle, a basic type of single-courtyard house, composed of houses on four sides. The main door faces southeast, adopts a veranda style, and occupies half of the doorway of the back house.
The door is open.
What catches your eye is the wall of the east wing. You have to turn left to officially enter the inner courtyard.
The yard inside the house is not very big and is surrounded by the house on all sides. The main house is the east, west and north wing rooms. Opposite it is a south wing room, also known as the back house. There is an ear room on each side. Together with the other side of the south wing room, there are three ear rooms in total, presenting a four-broken-five layout.
Although the courtyard is narrower than the siheyuan, the sitting area here is not small, so the yard is still sufficient. A tree is planted and stone benches and tables are placed underneath. The layout of the house has a high utilization rate.
However, it looked like it had indeed been built for some time, and Zhu Suisui suddenly had a lot of renovation ideas in his mind.
She is satisfied with this house.
Firstly, the location is relatively remote and quiet in the alley, and the layout is compact, with everything it needs. There are several houses alone, which is enough for the Zhu family to live in.
Secondly, Dazhalan is not too remote, which makes it convenient for me to travel and store things.
Father Bai went in to call for help.
Bai Ningyu came over and whispered to Zhu Suisui, "This place is not bad, I think it's quite big. Houses in a similar location to this house cost over six or seven thousand."
"It's pretty good, mainly because the property rights are clear," said Zhu Suisui.
It can be seen that the Bai family has made careful selections for themselves.
The elderly who live here are quite clean and keep their house very tidy.
She took a closer look at the bricks just now and found that they were all green bricks. You know, in the past, houses built with green bricks were only built by well-off families.
The house here doesn't look big, but the layout and construction have been carefully considered. It is unlike the large courtyards I have seen before, and it exudes exquisite details everywhere. The background of this old man is not simple.
When looking at the furnishings in other rooms, Zhu Suisui was surprised to find that the furnishings in some rooms were actually emitting a blue mist. The material seemed to be huanghuali, which was somewhat similar to what he saw in Yan Ziqing's house, but also different.
For the moment, Zhu Suisui couldn't tell what was different, but her eyes would not deceive her. The furniture here was more valuable than those collected by Yan Ziqing.
It may look a bit shabby, but after some repair, it can be a treasure.
This old man is definitely a particular person.
The reason why Zhu Suisui made such a guess is that this house was previously taken away by the state and was only returned in recent years. Therefore, the furniture inside must have been purchased by Mr. Shou later.
I just don't know whether he knows the value of these or not.
If this house is bought, will all these furniture belong to her?
Zhu Suisui needs to ask for clarification.
This is all money.
Bai Ningyu was still saying: "It would be better if it could be cheaper."
Although she knew that Zhu Suisui had just received 1,300 yuan, Bai Ningyu still wanted to bargain for Zhu Suisui in order to save money.
At this time.
There was movement in the house.
It was the voice of Bai's father.
Father Bai suppressed his displeasure, but his tone still contained a hint of anger. "Master Shou, we are here to buy a house sincerely. You clearly said it was 3,000 yuan before, but why did you raise the price to 5,000 yuan now? You are not the kind of person who raises the price like that."
Hearing this.
Zhu Suisui and Bai Ningyu looked at each other and ran over quickly.
I want it to be cheap.
The result is good. They are now raising the price directly.
When the two stepped into the main living room, they saw Father Bai standing and having an excited conversation with an old man.
The old man was dressed in rags, but he kept himself clean, wrapped in a military coat. He was skinny, with gray hair, wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes, and a prominent cheekbone. He looked like someone who was difficult to get along with.
This is the old man.
The old man put his hands behind his back and snorted, "That was the price before. Now I'm offering this price. It's up to you whether you want it or not."
This old man is really willful.
Father Bai frowned and wanted to say something.
Zhu Suisui stepped forward and stopped Bai's father, "Uncle, let me do it."
After all, this is my own business, so I have to negotiate it myself. I can't let Mr. Bai charge into the battle line and argue for me.
Father Bai sighed, feeling ashamed, "You said this is a big deal, if it doesn't work, I'll look for it for you."
Zhu Suisui smiled and said, "Let me chat with Grandpa Shou."
After saying that, he looked at Old Man Shou and said, "Grandpa Shou, you said before that this house was 3,000, but now it has increased to 5,000. Are you in trouble and suddenly short of money?"
