Next, the two went to the backyard, which was quite large. There was a well in the center of the yard, and a row of bungalows behind the yard.
After visiting the teahouse, Clerk Wang took Lin Qing to the next room, which had the exact same layout as the teahouse, including a loft and a well in the courtyard.
"Comrade Wang, I want both houses."
Lin Qing said to Clerk Wang with satisfaction.
"Comrade Lin, are you really going to take them all? The two houses together will cost 9,000."
Clerk Wang looked at Lin Qing with surprise and said that he did not expect this little girl to be so rich.
"Yes, I'll take them both. I like both of them, and they're too close to each other. I don't really like being too close to strangers, so I'll just take them both! Plus, I have a lot of kids, and I think the backyard can be combined, which would be equivalent to one room."
Lin Qing explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Clerk Wang clicked his tongue enviously, "Then I'll take you to find the landlord!"
Lin Qing nodded upon hearing this.
"The landlord lives a bit far from here. It will probably take us about 40 minutes to get there by bike."
Clerk Wang explained to Lin Qing as he rode his bicycle.
…………
Forty minutes later, the two stopped in a small alley.
"Knock knock knock..."
Clerk Wang knocked on the door of the small courtyard.
Lin Qing looked around at the surrounding environment. There were a lot of people living here, and the alley was very narrow and the environment was particularly bad. She didn't expect that someone who owned such good property would live in such a place.
"Who is it?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the courtyard.
"Comrade Jin, it's me, Xiao Wang from the Housing Management Bureau."
Clerk Wang said loudly.
"Squeak..."
The courtyard gate opened from the inside, and a man came out.
"Comrade Jin, this Comrade Lin wants to buy your two shops on Huai Shu Street."
Upon seeing the man emerge from the courtyard, Clerk Wang smiled and said...
"Come in first!"
The man surnamed Jin said in a deep voice, his face expressionless, showing no sign of the joy one would expect after learning the house was going to be sold.
Which one do you want?
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the man surnamed Jin asked Lin Qing a question.
"Comrade Jin, I'll take both!"
Lin Qing said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Jin showed a surprised expression for the first time. "You want both? I don't haggle."
Lin Qing nodded, "Yes, I need both. My family has a lot of people, so we can work together if I want both."
The man surnamed Jin nodded. "Okay, when do we complete the formalities?"
"If it's convenient, it will be ready in a little while."
Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Can!"
The man surnamed Jin nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Qing hesitated for a moment and then said, "Comrade Jin, do you have any other houses to sell? I have several older brothers who don't own any houses either."
Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Jin remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
"Comrade Jin..."
Lin Qing couldn't help but call out again.
"Fine, I'm not planning to come back anyway, so I'll sell it to you!"
Upon hearing Lin Qing's reminder, the man surnamed Jin spoke with reddened eyes.
“That’s our Jin family’s ancestral home. It’s in a rather remote location, but it’s very large. If it weren’t a place that’s a source of sadness for me, and if I didn’t plan to come back in the future, I really wouldn’t be willing to sell it.”
The man surnamed Jin explained.
Lin Qing's eyes lit up upon hearing this. An ancestral home! Especially a merchant's ancestral home, that's a great place!
“However, although I can sell it to you, I don’t know if you can afford it. The house is located in Xiaotangshan, with a total area of 1,500 square meters. There is also a mountain behind the ancestral house, which I can give to you. There is a hot spring pool in the house and on the mountain.”
The man surnamed Jin continued to explain, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Lin Qing's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this. Suppressing her surprise, she asked, "How much are you planning to sell it for?"
"50,000!"
The man surnamed Jin stared blankly into the distance for a long time before answering.
"I'll take it. Let's complete the formalities together in a bit!"
The man surnamed Jin looked at Lin Qing in surprise, scrutinized her for a long time, and then said, "Don't you need to go and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing secretly realized that she had been too hasty. "If you need it, I can pay you a deposit first. After you show me the place tomorrow, if it's as you described, we'll settle the rest."
The man surnamed Jin nodded. "It's quite far. We can set off earlier tomorrow."
"It's okay, my husband has a car. We'll come and pick you up at 9 a.m. tomorrow, is that alright?"
Lin Qing asked with a smile.
The man surnamed Jin, upon hearing this, flashed a knowing look in his eyes, "Okay!"
"Should we process the paperwork for those two shops first, or do it together tomorrow?"
After the two finished speaking, Clerk Wang suppressed his astonishment and said with a smile.
"Let's get it done first! Don't we need to pay a deposit? Anyway, we still have to go to your office."
Lin Qing laughed and said, "Just kidding, of course we have to do it first! Only after paying the money and completing the formalities can we get the house."
"Alright, Comrade Jin, take your things, let's go to the housing management office together! As for Comrade Lin..."
"You guys go ahead, I'm going home to get the money!"
Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, then we'll head over first and wait for you at the housing management office!"
The three then parted ways. Clerk Wang and Comrade Wang walked towards the housing management office together, while Lin Qing returned to the courtyard house.
