Chen Ye... Sometimes she couldn't understand Cen Zixiang's train of thought. She didn't know what he was thinking about anymore.
"First, how much did you pay for this house?"
"Then I have to make it clear first. This house is a gift from your Third Uncle. You are not allowed to give him money, otherwise he will be very sad!"
"No, when did I say I would pay?" How did you think I had to pay from the time I asked you the price?
Cen Zixiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as his younger sister wasn't being awkward and trying to figure it out, it would be fine. "That's good, that's good. This house cost 700 yuan, which is quite a bit."
It's not a small amount. The house is really not that big and looks old. If it weren't for the good location, he would never have bought the house. Now it seems that the location also has problems.
There is a spy living next door, and this location is no different from living directly next to the enemy. The risk level has been raised from low to warning level.
"Seven hundred?" Chen Ye's voice was full of surprise. This was really not cheap. In the village, two rooms could be built for just a few dozen yuan, but here only three rooms cost seven hundred yuan.
Cen Zixiang tapped Chen Ye's head with chopsticks. "Are you so surprised? Where is this? This is the provincial capital, and this house is not even on the edge of the provincial capital. We must have someone inside to get this price, otherwise we definitely wouldn't be able to get it."
This is absolutely true. Although the house is small and looks old, the location is really good. Even though it is not in the city center, it is not far away.
As long as my younger sister keeps this house, she might get a lot of relocation compensation when it is opened to the public in the future.
"Are the houses here so expensive?" Chen Ye suddenly felt that the few thousand dollars she had hidden away were nothing. She was still complacent and thought that the money would last for a long time.
As for the gold and other things, this is not a good time to use them. It seems that I have to think about whether I can earn some extra money. Big cities are big cities. The consumption level here is totally different from that in the village!
"That's about right. But nowadays, people are not allowed to buy and sell houses casually. Even if they are expensive, it's still hard to buy. Why do you think of asking this?"
Chen Ye chuckled: "Fourth brother, if the matter next door is resolved, will the house be confiscated? Can we then..."
Cen Zixiang was amused by Chen Ye's silly grin as he rubbed his hands together. "Why, you want to buy the house next door? Isn't your current house big enough for you?"
Could it be that his younger sister also had a dream as great as his own, to become a landlady? But it wasn't impossible; on the contrary, it was a very good plan. This way, even if his younger sister didn't work after the relocation, she wouldn't have to worry about her source of income.
"Do you want to wait until the market opens up and become a landlady?"
Chen Ye paused. Ah! She hadn't thought about that. She just wanted to have a bigger yard so she could grow some vegetables for herself. Isn't it said that it's difficult to get vegetables in the city? If she grows her own vegetables, she can eat whatever she wants, whenever she wants.
Well, Cen Zixiang could tell at once that this girl didn't think much about it at all.
"Since you don't have this idea, why do you want to build such a big house by yourself?"
"I heard the yard next door is big, so I thought I'd buy it and tear down the wall. My yard would be bigger, and I could grow vegetables for myself."
"This way I'll have a few more rooms to renovate, and I can have some entertainment, right?"
"But what you said about renting it out and collecting rent after opening it up is really a good idea. Look at my rooms. Aside from the inconvenience of not having a kitchen to cook in, they are almost like independent houses. It's not impossible to rent them out separately and make money."
Chen Ye looked at Cen Zixiang with gratitude: "Or else it's said that these uneducated people are different from you, a college student. You have more brains and more ideas than I thought."
Cen Zixiang...why didn't he hear any compliment in these words?
"Okay, stop bragging. I'll ask you later. But the house next door is definitely more expensive than the one you live in now. That house is much bigger than yours."
When he bought the house, he asked the neighbors and heard from his mother's best friend Aunt Bai that this place used to be a large mansion, but was later divided into many small courtyards.
Ye Zi's is the smallest one, and even the police station next door is part of the mansion.
Chen Ye nodded: "Ask first. If I can afford it, I'll buy it. If I can't afford it, forget it."
Cen Zixiang wanted to say that if you want to buy it, Uncle San will definitely pay for it, but thinking of Ye Zi's personality, he held back the words: "Sister, tell me how much money you have in your stash?"
Chen Ye subconsciously covered his pockets with a look of alertness: "What do you want to do? You have to make a promise. If you don't borrow money from me, you are still my good fourth brother."
She can spend money to buy gifts for others, but she will never let others borrow money from her. This is her bottom line. She knows that it is easy to borrow money but difficult to ask for money. Besides, she is not a very generous person.
Cen Zixiang was so angry that he laughed: "Look at how stingy you are."
Chen Ye was not happy: "If you are not stingy, then lend me some money."
Cen Zixiang also subconsciously covered his pockets: "We have a deal, siblings should settle accounts clearly, you can't be thinking about my meager savings."
"Tsk, you're just like me, acting like you're so generous."
"Okay, okay, we are siblings after all, so don't look down on each other."
Cen Zixiang stopped joking and said, "Speaking of which, little sister, if you really have money, you should try to buy up this mansion bit by bit. Once it opens, you will have such a big mansion and you won't have to worry about your future."
"Let's say if they relocate, you'll get a large compensation. Even if they don't, there are so many houses here and you can rent them out one by one. Calculate how much rent you can get in a month. You'll have enough money to eat, drink, and have fun all day long."
"Isn't this the life you want to live in the future?" What is this called in later generations, salted fish, lying flat, and playing badly?
Cen Zixiang had a look on his face that said, "Little sister, you understand me." "If I could live like this, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."
"Then why are you still spending money so lavishly? Why don't you save more money and buy more houses? Then you can live like this in the future, right?"
Cen Zixiang shook his head and said, "You don't understand. I just like our grandfather's large courtyard house with three entrances. It's a pity that our grandfather said whoever gets married first gets the courtyard house. I can't really commit suicide by sending myself to the grave for the courtyard house."
"No, now that you're back, I guess there's no chance for the four of us brothers to own that courtyard. If things go wrong, it might even become your dowry."
