The three Wen siblings also wanted to raise the price, but Jiang Yi was not about to let them succeed.
He said he had acquaintances in the county town and had heard about what had just happened at the house.
The old man was frozen inside the house and died with his eyes open, which is already bad luck. Moreover, the location is remote and inconvenient for going to work. If they are not sincere in wanting to sell, then forget it. He can ask around at other houses.
Once the Wen siblings realized that their background was known to everyone, they no longer dared to act arrogantly.
You should know that the house had been listed for so long, and Jiang Yi was the first and only person to inquire about it.
Even the dilapidated thatched huts in the nearby villages shouldn't be so neglected.
They were terrified of Wenjie, and besides, all their belongings had vanished in that house, and they didn't even know if Wenjie was still there.
They dared not go there, and did not want to get involved again. At least they could sell it for some money to alleviate their current predicament. After a brief discussion, the siblings decided to sell the house to Jiang Yi at an extremely low price.
Even at the lowest price, it still cost three hundred yuan, and Hua Xiangyun instantly felt like she was penniless.
Hua Xiangyun took out all her belongings from her storage bag, which amounted to less than a hundred yuan and was nowhere near the price of a house.
I left the change, made up eighty yuan, and put it on the table. "I'll pay back the rest slowly."
She has quite a few valuables, but she feels a greater sense of accomplishment from using money she earned herself.
Jiang Yi didn't refuse her, took the money back, and put it in his pocket. "I still remember your childhood wish: to have a home of your own."
Now that we have a home, another wish can gradually be fulfilled.
If he doesn't accept the money, he might not be able to give away the property certificate.
As for whether the house was auspicious or not, it didn't matter to them.
Hua Xiangyun couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled her silly past. "Then I'll have to work hard to earn money in the future and strive to become a landlady who makes a fortune every day."
Being a landlady is so great; it's a life of effortless success. Who wouldn't want that?
The remaining debt of over two hundred dollars gave her a sense of urgency.
...
However, we'll have to wait a while before going to the black market. Now everyone knows her past patterns, so they're all scrambling to guard that area.
Those who know the rules are fine; they leave when they see three people ahead of them in line. But there are always those who can't be reasoned with, and she gets a little annoyed every time they argue.
The last time she went there, she didn't know which malicious person reported her. Although they couldn't catch her, it still made her feel very uncomfortable.
But if I don't go, this debt won't be easy to repay.
Jiang Yi also brought up the matter with her, saying, "Don't worry about the money. I didn't even tell you when I bought this house. You can give it to me when you have the money."
Jiang Yi didn't want to settle scores with Hua Xiangyun, but rather he knew Hua Xiangyun too well.
When Comrade Lao Jiang passed away, his will was made public. Apart from leaving him a sum of money, he left all the other properties and the Taoist temple to Hua Xiangyun.
Hua Xiangyun had just finished taking over the property when she immediately offered to transfer the real estate and the Taoist temple to herself.
In her words, she likes the things registered in her name, which she has accumulated little by little.
Moreover, she shouldn't have received any of these things. She already felt she had no way to repay her master for his nurturing and guidance, and she felt unworthy to receive so much more.
At the time, he kept putting it off, citing being busy with foreign affairs.
Unexpectedly, this saved them a lot of trouble, as everything under their names became ownerless.
"Since you know it will appreciate in value, why don't you keep it for yourself?" Hua Xiangyun looked at the name on it and had another question.
Jiang Yi, "Do you think it wouldn't be conspicuous for me to buy another house in the county town?"
Even the house he lives in now has caused so many problems. Although houses in the county seat are not popular, they are still houses.
"There was something even funnier today. Someone stopped me on the street and said they wanted to rent my house." Jiang Yi brought up another matter only after Hua Xiangyun put down her chopsticks.
Hua Xiangyun: "You definitely didn't agree."
"I'm not stupid. Their housing shortage is none of my business. They should go to their work unit to solve it. They say it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. Besides, why should I?"
Jiang Yi sighed, "People used to say that people living in this era are very simple and honest, but these past few days have really changed my mind."
Ultimately, there are still many limitations, and many things in their thinking cannot be changed.
The neighborhood committee said that every now and then someone would cause a scene over my house.
"If it weren't for someone putting in a good word for me back then, and the fact that I've been in the military all these years, I might not have been able to keep this house."
Hua Xiangyun said, "Your house is indeed too conspicuous. Look at our little courtyard, we've had a lot of gossip over the years."
Hua Xiangyun was more accepting than him. "It will be better in two years. I heard that all the factories are organizing the construction of welfare housing. At that time, everyone will want to live in small buildings. Why would they want this small flat?"
This will soon be her opportunity. If she can find a way to buy more small bungalows, then the life of a landlady will be within her reach.
“Sigh, I understand that,” Jiang Yi glanced at her. “But living alone in such a big courtyard still attracts attention.”
"See? Maybe the neighborhood committee will even step in and persuade me to rent out a few rooms in the house."
Hua Xiangyun knew that this was indeed possible, after all, housing was not spacious for any household, and many young people still squeezed into a room with their parents after getting married.
"I do have a solution, but I don't know if you'd be willing to help."
Hua Xiangyun, "..."
Jiang Yi said, "It might be a bit difficult, but at least I can live a peaceful life."
Hua Xiangyun: "You're not thinking of renting the house to me, are you? That's even more impossible."
Jiang Yi: "...What are you thinking? If you're coming to live here, why would you need to rent? Now everyone knows I have a boyfriend, and people are already asking me when I'm going to introduce him to everyone. Some people say I made it up to avoid people arranging marriages."
After waiting for half a month, Jiang Yi felt uneasy not being able to keep the person under his watchful eye. Today, he needed a definite answer no matter what.
“But…” Hua Xiangyun hesitated, understanding that Jiang Yi wanted to make their relationship public.
Seeing her hesitant and conflicted look, Jiang Yi took another step forward, "Even if we are like this, if we keep seeing each other in private, people will soon notice something is amiss."
Besides, we haven't done anything shameful, and I'm not so embarrassing as to be ashamed to show up. When would be a good time for me to pay a visit?
Jiang Yi pressed closer, and Hua Xiangyun shrank back again, saying, "This is too fast."
She had feelings for Jiang Yi, but she didn't want to leave the Hua family so soon.
You have to understand, in this day and age, there's no such thing as a long dating period. If you date someone for six months or a year without getting married, people will definitely say you're being a scoundrel.
Jiang Yi looked aggrieved. "Or do you have other ideas?"
