Now Wang Heng was relieved. He praised Sun Lifang for her thoughtfulness and patted his chest to assure her, "Leave this to me. I happen to know someone who wants to sell it, and it won't be expensive to buy you a set."
“I want it to be bigger.” Sun Lifang interrupted her, then explained with a smile, “I want to build houses all over this place, plant some trees, and cultivate some land for vegetables and flowers. When I get old, I’ll come here to live; the environment will be nice.”
Wang Heng was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "You're so young and already thinking about retirement? I didn't realize you were such a person, young girl, hahaha!"
"No wonder they made me quit." Wang Heng glanced at her and said resentfully, "Now I get a headache just looking at work."
"Alright, let's eat." The teacher's wife smiled and tapped him lightly with the end of her chopsticks. "Even food can't shut you up."
Osmanthus trees were planted in the courtyard where Wang Heng lived, and when the wind blew, the rich fragrance of osmanthus blossoms filled the air.
This was the first time Zhou Xinya had eaten out so late. She followed Wang Heng around like a shadow, looking around carefully.
The neighbor's child took out chalk and drew squares on the ground. A group of little kids jumped and skipped around. Zhou Xinya played and jumped wildly, running until she was sweating all over, her eyes sparkling.
"Don't go too far," Sun Lifang reminded her from behind.
Wang Heng acted swiftly, getting things done immediately and bringing potential clients to Sun Lifang.
That person bought a new house from a new developer; it has an elevator and security guards patrolling the community. He will never come back here.
The old house is very old, with high thresholds and carvings, and clumps of spider webs growing all around it.
The wooden door was damp, and the area around the numerous tiny, gnawed holes was teeming with insect eggs. Sun Lifang looked up—
The moon was visible at first glance, and there was a large hole in the roof.
"You call this a panoramic villa?" Wang Heng joked, and the man seemed a little embarrassed.
This place has been abandoned and uninhabited for many years, yet someone still wants to buy it.
"If you really want it, just give me ten thousand yuan." The man called out a price; this was an abandoned old house.
"You really dare to ask for such a high price! Give me ten thousand yuan and I'll sell you my house, okay?" Wang Heng retorted. "It's definitely not a place to live. If I use it to grow vegetables, will my vegetables be golden cabbages or jade cabbages? Ten thousand yuan can buy ten train cars of cabbages."
Compared to Wang Heng, the man seemed somewhat less imposing. "Uncle, how much do you want? You told me to say it, that's why I said it."
In terms of seniority, Wang Heng is considered the patriarch of this family.
The view here is expansive, with six large banyan trees inside, especially the one behind the house, which requires three people to encircle.
“I said six thousand.” Wang Heng didn’t shrug him off and said it directly, “I’m interested in the trees around here, so it’s like buying the land and the trees.”
The man hesitated.
“It’s okay, go back and think about it again, and I’ll think about it too,” Sun Lifang suddenly said.
What she did was somewhat unfair. This land will appreciate in value a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold in the future, especially since it's someone else's abandoned ancestral home.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Wang Heng and said, "Let's see if there's any land nearby. I'll just buy some."
Just as he was about to leave, the man suddenly caught up with him, "Wait, six thousand, I'll sell it for six thousand..."
Anyway, they're just sitting there. Their children have all gone to the city, and they have enough room in their own house. They'll sell the extra space if they can.
It seems the little girl doesn't understand; here, you can sign an application for land to build houses, and it's not even costing you any money.
Besides, this house is infested with snakes, rats, and insects; it's dilapidated and uninhabitable. People want to demolish it and rebuild it, and demolishing it will cost money.
“I’ll give you eight thousand,” Sun Lifang said, pointing to the banyan tree in the distance. “The extra amount is for buying these trees.”
"Okay, okay, okay." The man's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected such a good thing.
The old man was delighted that the newly built, fully furnished house near his son's workplace was only 800 yuan per square meter. He could exchange this house for 10 square meters of his son's apartment.
I'm afraid she might change her mind; such opportunities are rare.
We need to find someone to sign the agreement right now.
