Seeing that Li Han was using this tactic again, Zhang Beicheng no longer felt any sympathy as before. "We all know each other well, and I know you're having a hard time. Since you're already struggling so much, why don't you put aside the housing issue for now? You've squeezed through so many years already, so you can squeeze through a little more."
Li Han, "..."
"Alright, stop looking at me like that. You're having a tough time, but whose life is easy?"
If I had a solution, I wouldn't be thinking of selling the house. Don't make things difficult for me here. Why don't you go ahead and ask around? I see someone is planning to rent out a few rooms. You could rent a few rooms and that would solve your housing problem too.
He was reluctant to spend money to buy a house and was complaining about the housing shortage, so this guy came up with a solution for him. Zhang Beicheng thought it was a good intention, but Li Han thought it was a deliberate mockery.
Li Han wanted to turn around and leave. He wondered when he would find such a cheap price and such a good house again.
I don’t know if the old woman is right or not, but the Zhang family is in a hurry for money. If they push the price down a bit more, they’ll definitely be able to get it. They’ve succeeded in lowering the price so many times before, so this time will be no exception.
He pretended not to understand, "Old Zhang, let's not say such hurtful things. Let's go back and discuss it. You should also think about it again. If it works out, we'll go and get the paperwork done tomorrow."
Without giving Zhang Beicheng a chance to refuse, she turned and headed home.
Zhang Beichen shook his head as he watched his retreating figure. This time, he had misjudged him. It seemed that the honest man of decades had all been an act.
“You said it was a low amount, seven thousand yuan. If they can’t do it, we’ll go and get the paperwork done today.”
Then why did you refuse? We said all sorts of things.
Since Guo Da Guai has spoken up, we will refute him.
"That house was your wife's dowry, but it's a pity you'll stay on the farm forever and never come back." Zhang Beicheng felt there was nothing wrong with hiding it, so he carefully inquired around and found out that he could find out.
Hua Guangzong, "..."
Besides, the price was very reasonable; the seller gave a discount. If you were to buy a house like that elsewhere, you could get it for seven or eight thousand.
Hua Xiangyun nodded, but did not ask any further questions. "Are you planning to go to a distant place to inquire and see if it is really as Comrade Zhang said?"
I don't want to suffer losses and end up worse off.
"Judging from their conversation just now, it seems like they didn't reach an agreement. Could you go back and take a look? If it's suitable, you'll consider it." Hua Guangzong stepped down, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and offered one to the other party.
But now I can talk about that with the people in the village, not just my neighbors, but I'll tell them that I need some money urgently, and I won't reveal anything else.
Zhang Beicheng glanced at the two elderly people following in front of Ji Youqi and said, "Are they planning to sell? But the price is quite high."
Hua Xiangyun, "..."
It's certain that there will only be a few rooms afterward, and Hua Guangzong would consider that, but now he wants to buy a courtyard for each of his two sons, and that kind of large courtyard would be just right.
I've made up my mind that even if the other party is willing to agree to today's price, I'm prepared to sell the house to me.
All eight members of the family, grandfather, grandmother, and grandchildren, pricked up their ears. The eight of them stared at him with the same expression, which made Zhang Beicheng feel a mischievous smile, but also no warmth. It was clear that the family had a very bad relationship.
Turning around, I saw Hua Guangzong and his friends staring at me strangely. I adjusted my glasses, nodded to them, and prepared to go home.
“Your ancestral home is in the alley behind here, and your family lives here now.”
Ji Youqi said, "His house is in pretty bad condition; it's not safe to move into right away. Why is he thinking of selling it?" When buying a house, you should always do your research and ask questions to avoid future disputes.
Seeing that his eldest grandson and his wife had inquired about almost everything, Hua Guangzong chuckled and went over to chat with me about everyday things and discussing prices.
Zhang Beicheng would naturally calculate based on the price given to his old neighbor, but he also offered a more objective opinion: "Your house is detached and has its own yard. Since the cost of repairs is relatively low, you can lower the price. Just tell him a fair price. If he agrees, then yes, it's a matter of fate."
In addition, the location of that house is far from Zhiping's school. If we buy it, the couple and their child used to live there and had to travel back and forth a lot.
The eldest son outside the family needs a sum of money, and there's no other way but to sell it.
When we look at houses, we try to find ones that are close to our children. This house should only take about ten minutes to get there by bicycle, which is perfect.
Ji Youqi, "Isn't there any other outstanding issues with this house? After all, it was part of the dowry..."
“That’s a problem. They brought a letter of introduction and a household registration certificate, right? We can’t just go to the household registration office to pay money and transfer the property deed at the same time.”
Anyway, all the room doors are open, so we should be careful how we tour the place.
Tian Guihua quickly asked, "Young man, is he planning to sell that house?"
The eight members of Huaguangzong followed and stepped back into the courtyard. Looking at the messy yet clean backyard, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
Zhang Beicheng understood and could comprehend the other party's concerns. With his wife present, he could use his dowry, but if he needed to inform the other party's family, he would say, "No need to worry. Your wife is an only child, and your eldest son also takes her surname. You can ask me to come and sign the papers when the time comes."
Anyway, the house is going to be sold. As long as the price is right, who cares who we sell it to?
Moving out and settling down requires money everywhere, and even if we were given back our wages from those years, it would still be far from enough.
Zhang Beicheng told us in a irritable tone, "Your house was vacated by a freshman. It only has seven rooms, but there's no large vegetable garden in front of it, so they can't take a look."
When we go out to look at houses, we naturally need to prepare all those things. In addition, the weather is hot now, and the family is dressed warmly, so we also keep our money close to our bodies.
Zhang Beicheng quickly reached out his hand in agreement, "Thank you, it's a draw."
Then I added, "That's not the bottom price yet. If it's suitable, they said they'd look at other places."
I gave Li Han only 7,700 afterward, and now I'm somewhat relieved that Li Han went back on his word.
"Yes, if they want to see the house, they can leave."
The main reason is that after more than ten years of hardship, the children were terrified. When they heard about the possibility of going abroad, they immediately thought of running away.
Seeing that the other party was fully prepared, Zhang Beicheng was even more satisfied. "It seems that the house is not meant for them. Let's go and complete the formalities now. As for the key under the doorknob, it's the one you just bought. If they are worried, they can't get a new one made."
Hua Xiangyun was used to haggling, so she wanted to push the price down a bit more, but Tian Guihua grabbed her hand and said, "Fine, given your straightforwardness, you'll refuse."
Zhang Beicheng glanced at the two elderly people in front of Tian Guihua, and seeing that none of us had spoken, he knew that the deal had been reached that time.
