Chapter 403 Asking for an exorbitant price, settling for a lower price on the spot
Huang Yapo waved her hands repeatedly in denial.
"Brother, that's not true. That house is great, how could it be haunted?"
That's definitely just someone making things up!
Mu Chunping snorted coldly.
"You know in your heart whether you're talking nonsense or not."
I won't ask you for a rent refund. How about this: I want to buy that yard. Name your price.
"Clatter!" Upon hearing Mu Chunping mention buying a house, the matchmaker was so startled that she dropped her water glass.
"What did you say?
"You really want to buy that house?"
Mu Chun smiled faintly.
"Buying a house is true, but whether we can actually buy it depends on whether the price offered by the matchmaker is sincere enough."
When the matchmaker heard that this person really wanted to buy the Fu family's haunted house, her eyes immediately narrowed with laughter.
"Don't worry, brother. In all my years in Pingchuan County, my main principle has been sincerity and honesty."
"Ha!" Mu Chunping sneered.
Whether it's sincere enough or not depends on the price offered by the matchmaker.
Alright, we're all busy people, no need to waste our time here. Huang Yapo, name your price, and if it's acceptable, we'll pay and complete the formalities today.
If that doesn't work, I'll look at other places. Anyway, with the money, I can always buy a house.
Mu Chunping didn't have a good impression of Huang Yapo. That day when she came to rent a room, Huang Yapo said...
"Don't worry, brother, there are plenty of people vying for this house."
The Fu family is a wealthy family; they moved to Yunlu City because their business had grown so big.
Moreover, the house has good feng shui; many students who rented it passed their exams.
Actually, the house is haunted, even though it has been in the possession of Huang Yapo for two or three years.
But she never managed to make a purchase; every time someone came to buy, they would change their mind after looking around.
She didn't make any money renting out the courtyard. Every time someone stayed for a day, they would come to her asking to move, saying that it was haunted at night.
When Mu Chunping's family came over today, the matchmaker thought they were there to cancel their lease, but it turned out they were there to buy a house.
The haunted house, which had been sitting unsold for years, was finally sold, making Huang Yapo (the gossipy woman) very happy.
"Don't worry, the price I'm offering is absolutely fair."
That's a three-courtyard house, I won't ask for much, just give me 1200 taels, I haven't made a single penny...
"Come on, wife, let's go look around somewhere else."
Mu Chunping was so angry at the price quoted by Huang Yapo that he almost laughed. Without saying a word, he bent down, picked up Ningbao, and called out to Shen Yuzhen to leave.
Huang Yapo quickly stepped forward and blocked Mu Chunping's path.
"No, brother, let's talk this out."
Mu Chunping glanced at the matchmaker.
"Do you think I need to say anything more after you've offered this price?"
Huang Yapo gave an awkward laugh.
"This business is just a matter of me making an offer and you negotiating. Business is all about taking your time to discuss things. You can't just leave before we've even finished talking."
Mu Chunping stopped and turned to look at Huang Yapo.
"You mean you can ask for whatever price you want, and I can bargain down to the bottom, right?"
Alright then, I know you've had a tough time too, and I won't let you lose money. If you want to sell it for fifty taels, I'll pay you right away.
"What? How much did you say??" Huang Yapo couldn't believe her ears.
Fifty taels!
She didn't know if the buyer had just casually mentioned this number or if there was some inside story.
After all, no one except her and Master Huang Weidong knew that she had spent fifty taels of silver to buy the haunted house of the Fu family.
Even her very close neighbor, Old Wang, didn't know.
Mu Chunping reiterated his affirmation.
Fifty taels.
