Although Master Guo looks unreliable, his wife is reliable!
Xiang Mianmian saw Guo Jia come to her house that afternoon to announce the news: "My dad said that there's a house available in the Zhenxing Middle School staff housing complex, and he wants you to come over to discuss it in detail."
After saying this, he ran away, as if he was in a bad mood. He even pretended not to hear Zhang Jidi's warm invitation to him to drink water.
She scratched her head, not understanding, thinking maybe men also have those days.
Putting this doubt out of her mind, Xiang Mianmian told Zhang Jidi about the situation. The mother and daughter then went to find Xiang Tiezhu and his wife and Xiang Liwei, and the six of them went to Master Guo's house together.
Xiang Tiezhu even brought money to buy a house before going out, so he was well prepared for fear of delaying his son's marriage.
When he arrived at Master Guo's house, Xiang Liwei took a deep breath and felt a little nervous.
Carefree Xiang Mianmian pushed the door open as usual, calling out "Master Guo" with a smile, but his eyes were darting around looking for Master Wu's wife.
Seeing her slick appearance, Master Guo had nothing good to say to her: "Your master's wife was invited to dinner by her cousin. I will find time to come back and tell you the news."
Xiang Mianmian then looked at Master Guo ingratiatingly: "Master, you are so kind to me. What should we say now?"
Just as he was about to criticize his apprentice, Master Guo quickly shut up when he saw a group of family members behind her and told her the whole story of how Master Wu's wife and uncle helped to make the connection.
Yuan Kaiguo, the vice-principal of Zhenxing Middle School, heard that Mrs. Wu wanted to buy a house, and happened to know that a teacher named You Wenyu was worried and wanted to sell his house.
That’s right, in an era when everyone is trying their best to buy houses and wait for demolition, he is doing the opposite and wants to sell his house.
The reason for selling the house was simple. His mother was ill and needed money for surgery. The surgery and postoperative recovery would cost him so much if he didn't sell the house.
Most of the family's money has been used to marry off the four sons, and there is still a youngest son who has no place to go and can no longer be taken care of.
Teacher You has medical benefits as an employee, but I don’t.
Knowing that he could make money from demolition, he couldn't wait any longer and only thought about selling the house when he had no other choice.
Master Guo explained carefully, "Teacher You is going to the provincial capital, W City, to get his mother treated. He's asking a high price for his house, eighteen thousand. Your wife will rush off to speak well of him after dinner, so you should be mentally prepared."
Eighteen hundred is indeed a bit high, but considering the possibility of demolition, it is not too outrageous.
He waited here in advance just to remind them not to show their joy, as it would easily disgust Teacher You and make bargaining even more difficult.
As long as you are willing to sell!
He hid his ecstasy from Tiezhu's family and forced himself to show a hint of worry.
The seller's mother was in critical condition, and even though they were happy in their hearts, they had to pretend to be worried.
The initiative lies in the hands of the people selling the house. If they don't perform as expected, the seller may not want to sell it anymore, or may delay it for a while. Hang Jinxiu can't wait.
The group rushed to Teacher You's house. They all adjusted their expressions on the way so as not to be exposed.
When they arrived at the place, Xiang Tiezhu anxiously went forward and knocked on the door. Soon someone came to open the door. It was a middle-aged woman with a haggard face and she was not well-groomed.
She forced a smile to greet the guests. "Are you here with Teacher Wu to buy a house from Old You?"
Yuan Huimei nodded vigorously: "Yes, sister, my family wants to buy a house, and Teacher Wu helped to find out the information. Where are she and Teacher You?"
She had made up her mind on the way that she would not tell Xiang Liwei that she bought a house for the purpose of getting married.
On the one hand, he is selling the house because his mother is seriously ill, and on the other hand, he is buying a house because he is about to get married and have children. The contrast is too strong, so it is better not to tell the reason.
Teacher You’s daughter-in-law sighed and took them to sit in the living room.
Mrs. Wu and her cousin Yuan Kaiguo had taken turns talking to You Wenyu several times, but he was holding on to the 1,680 yuan and refused to give in, and no one could do anything about it.
Even when seeing Xiang's family crowded together and sitting down, You Wenyu still did not retreat, and continued to speak clearly: "The lowest price is 1,680. I won't sell it for less."
He looked just like his wife, with an unintentional look of embarrassment.
The couple works during the day and takes care of the elderly at night. They are nearly 50 years old and can't bear such hardship. Selling the house is their last helpless choice.
You Wenyu was raised by his widowed mother. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will definitely choose to save his mother.
The old woman didn't want to burden her son, so after being diagnosed with a serious illness, she tried to commit suicide many times to reduce the burden on her son. The couple and their children could only take turns to take care of her, fearing that she would become depressed.
The reason why he held on to the money was because the condition was serious. Any less money would not be enough for You Wenyu to take his mother to the provincial capital, W City, for surgery.
Everyone has their own helplessness. The wrinkles on You Wenyu's face are always there and he can't relax.
He also wanted to be generous and not be so picky, be a humble gentleman, and negotiate well with the buyer, but he only argued because he was forced into a corner.
