Zhang Youcai was also a seasoned veteran.
Seeing that Shen Yu really wanted to buy it, he smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, although my house is a bit old, it has a good location. It's right on the main street. If you buy it, you can make a lot of money doing any kind of business. To be honest, if I weren't going to Hong Kong, I wouldn't be willing to sell this old house."
Grandma Wu also took the initiative to persuade Zhang Youcai, "Ah Cai, this pretty girl is really interested in buying it, so you should sell it to her at a lower price. If you ask for less money, the house will sell faster. Didn't you say you were in a hurry to go to Hong Kong City? The sooner it's sold, the sooner you can put your mind at ease."
Zhang Youcai remained unmoved, smiling as he looked at Shen Yu and said, "Pretty lady, I can tell you're a rich person, so don't try to bargain with me. I absolutely won't sell this house for less than 80,000."
Shen Yu smiled faintly and said, "Boss, the location of your house is indeed very good, otherwise I wouldn't have taken a liking to it. But there aren't many people who can come up with so much money right now. If you miss out on me, who knows when someone else will come to buy it."
"Okay, I won't say any more. I'll pay. If you're willing, I can give you the money right now, and we can go and transfer the property together."
Zhang Youcai said with dissatisfaction, "You've given far too little."
Shen Yu shook her head.
After some back-and-forth bargaining, the final price was set at [amount] yuan.
Although she was almost dry from talking, Chen Yu was still quite happy to save 2,000 yuan.
Zhang Youcai brought all the documents for the house and showed them to Shen Yu.
After confirming that the name on the property certificate was Zhang Youcai, Shen Yu drove Zhang Youcai and Granny Wu to the housing management office.
When Shen Yu received the newly issued property certificate, she also gave Zhang Youcai a lump sum of cash.
Zhang Youcai took the money, counted it, and confirmed that it was correct.
He smiled and said to Shen Yu, "Beautiful lady, thank you! You can take me home, and I'll pack my things and give you the key."
When Shen Yu heard that he could hand over the keys soon, she smiled happily and replied, "I also thank Boss Zhang. You are welcome to come back for tea in the future."
Zhang Youcai chuckled and replied, "Okay, okay..."
Grandma Wu was just as happy to see that they had made a deal, and she was just waiting for Shen Yu to give her the money for tea.
Shen Yu then drove them back to the old street.
Zhang Youcai and his family had already gone to Hong Kong, and he had sold off all their belongings long ago. Now, only an old bed remains on the second floor.
He packed his clothes into his backpack and handed the key to Shen Yu, who was waiting for him on the first floor.
"Mr. Shen, I'm heading back to Hong Kong. Let's have some tea sometime."
Shen Yu took the keys and replied with a smile, "Sure, let's have tea sometime. Have a safe journey and arrive in port safely."
"Thank you very much."
Zhang Youcai then said to Granny Wu, who was standing to the side, "Granny Wu, I'm leaving now. I'll come visit you again when I have time. Bye-bye~"
Grandma Wu smiled and replied, "Ah Cai, once you've made a fortune in the port city, don't forget your fellow villagers!"
Zhang Youcai laughed and said, "Don't worry, once I've made a lot of money, I'll definitely come back to visit you."
After seeing Zhang Youcai off, Shen Yu took out two "Big Reunion" bills and handed them to Granny Wu.
"Grandma Wu, thank you so much this time. Next time you hear that someone in the neighborhood is selling a house, remember to let me know. I'll give you twenty yuan for tea every time."
Grandma Wu was surprised that Shen Yu would give her the money so readily, and she smiled and said to Shen Yu, "Thank you so much. I will definitely tell you next time I have good news."
Grandma Wu felt that this money was too easy to earn; she barely had to spit out any words and easily got the twenty yuan.
If she comes a few times a month, wouldn't she be able to earn the wages of a worker?
Shen Yu then instructed Granny Wu, "Granny, if anyone asks, just tell them that I rented this shop, okay?"
Granny Wu, being an old woman of great wisdom, immediately understood Shen Yu's meaning: "Are you afraid that if people find out you have so much money to buy a house, you'll be targeted?"
Shen Yu nodded. "Yes, it's not easy for us women to do things. It's always better to be careful and keep a low profile, don't you think?"
Grandma Wu understood, "Yes, it's better to be careful. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. If anyone asks me, I'll just say you rented it."
"Thank you, Grandma. I'll head back now."
"Okay, take care!"
Shen Yu asked Granny Wu to say that it was rented, mainly because she was afraid that her in-laws would suspect that her money came from an illegitimate source if they knew that she had bought the shop.
It would be more reasonable for her to tell them that she has taken over the shop after she has made money in the past year.
The house has been bought, but it needs to be renovated before it can be opened for business.
Where can she find renovation contractors and workers?
I'll ask my mother-in-law again when I get back, to see if she knows anyone in this area who works as a bricklayer.
Shen Yu drove home and parked the car.
She had been running around all morning without taking a break, and now that she was done, she realized that she had been too stressed and was quite tired.
Shen Yu took out a bottle of energy juice from the farm warehouse, drank it, and only then did she feel her fatigue disappear and her whole body regain its energy.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Shen Yu took out a bowl of pickled fish, a box of steamed pork ribs, and a box of scrambled eggs with tomatoes from the farm warehouse, put them in a bag, and went to the old house.
She plans to have lunch with her parents-in-law, her older brother and sister-in-law, and then talk to them about the renovation.
Xiao Kang Kang and Xiao Shu Shu were playing in the living room when they saw their mother return. They immediately cheered with joy, "Mom..."
Liang Sanmei, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the children's cheers and came out to take a look.
Shen Yu smiled and comforted the two children, then put the dishes on the dining table before going to the kitchen.
She smiled and said to Liang Sanmei, "Mom, I brought three dishes. The four of us will eat with you in a little while, is that alright?"
When Liang Sanmei heard that she had brought three dishes, she looked at her helplessly and said, "You, I always tell you not to listen. You've brought so many dishes, how can I not let you eat?"
Shen Yu chuckled and said, "I knew it, Mom is the best to us."
Liang Sanmei said with a playful smile, "You, you just know how to make me happy."
Seeing that it was almost time for Chenchen and the others to come home from school, Shen Yu said to Liang Sanmei, "Mom, shall I go out and see if Chenchen and the others are back yet?"
Liang Sanmei waved her hand, "Go ahead, I've finished cooking, just waiting for them to come back and we can eat."
At 12:30, the three children returned home from school.
The Shi family patriarch, eldest brother Shi Sen, and sister-in-law Su Chunhong have all returned.
They were somewhat surprised to see Shen Yu and her family there, but still greeted Shen Yu with smiles, "Xiao Yu, you're here..."
Shen Yu smiled and said to them, "Dad, eldest brother, sister-in-law, I have something I want to discuss with you. So I made three dishes and brought them over to eat with you."
