After school at noon, Xu Ning rode her bike to East Street, where Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Qi were already waiting for her.
The owners of the house are a middle-aged couple. They are dressed very fashionably and don't look like they are short of money. I don't know why they want to sell such a nice house.
She went in to take a look. She saw that the three doorways downstairs were connected, while the three rooms upstairs were separated. The walls were a bit peeling and there were some spider webs on them. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.
The yard is not small, and the main room is a bit dilapidated, but it’s no big deal, it can be cleaned up and people can live in it.
Grandpa Wang had already negotiated the price, thirteen thousand and five, and when Xu Ning came, the middle-aged woman stared at her.
Xu Ning also noticed her gaze, looked at her with a smile and asked, "Comrades, when is it convenient for you to go to the Housing Management Office to complete the formalities?"
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Young comrade, the original price of this house was 13,500.
But someone came to see it again yesterday and offered 14,000. My wife thought that we had already negotiated it with you and it would not be appropriate to sell it to someone else.
Let me ask you again today, do you want 14,000? If you don't want it, we'll sell it to yesterday's people. ”
Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Qi looked at each other. They didn’t hear the couple mention raising the price just now. Why did they change their mind as soon as Xiao Ning came?
Xu Ning laughed after hearing what she said.
"Comrade, since someone has offered 14,000, you can sell it to him. My budget is only 13,500, and I can't afford more. Goodbye."
Then he smiled and said to Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Qi: "Grandpa, let's go!"
Grandpa Wang's expression didn't change at all, he said with a smile: "Since these two comrades don't want to sell, let's go to the one in front and have a look.
Originally, your seventh grandfather and I had looked for two houses, and we thought this one was closer, so we let you look at this one first. ”
Grandpa Qi also smiled and nodded, "Let's go quickly. I made an appointment with him at one o'clock, and it's already past one o'clock."
The three of them walked out as they talked, and the middle-aged man glared at his wife.
He hurried over and shouted, "Please stay, don't listen to my wife.
Now that I’ve said it, I’ll sell it to you for 13,500.
Even if someone offers me 20,000, I won't sell it. I'm not a dishonest person. ”
When Xu Ning came, the couple saw that she was a little girl and wanted to perform a double act to make more money.
Who would have known that this girl, despite her young age, was so troublesome? She turned around and left without saying a word.
This house was left by his parents and is considered his family's ancestral home.
If his disappointing son had not been found to have embezzled public funds, he would have been reluctant to sell the house to fill the hole for his son.
Xu Ning said in embarrassment: "This is not good, since someone has offered a high price, you should sell it to him.
I really don’t have that much money, and my grandfather said the one in front is cheaper.
Let’s go check that one out! This way you can sell a few more. ”
The middle-aged man and his wife exchanged glances.
His wife pulled Xu Ning aside and said with a smile: "Little comrade, this is my fault. I shouldn't have regretted it for a few hundred dollars.
My husband is the most honest person. If I were to sell the house to that man from yesterday, he would definitely not let me off.
I'll sell it to you for 13,500. Let's go to the housing authority to handle the formalities now. Is that ok with you? ”
Xu Ning pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But we haven't seen the one in front of us yet!"
The middle-aged man said unhappily, "Little comrade, we already agreed with your grandfather yesterday to handle the formalities today. You can't go back on your word."
Xu Ning looked at Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Qi in embarrassment.
Grandpa Wang sighed and said, "Seventh Brother, go to the front and tell that family that we don't want to buy it!"
Then he said to Xu Ning, "Xiao Ning, since these two comrades are so sincere in selling it to us, let's buy this one. Let's go to the Housing Management Office with the two comrades to complete the formalities now."
Grandpa Qi said, "Then I will go and tell them that we have already bought the house and let them find another buyer."
As he walked out, he muttered, "Why did you tell them that? Isn't this going back on your word? Going back on your word is not what a gentleman does."
Xu Ning held back his laughter. He didn't expect that Grandpa Qi would be sarcastic.
The middle-aged couple also heard that Grandpa Qi was mocking them. They were both well-known figures in the unit.
It was a bit embarrassing to be talked about like that. If the house wasn't difficult to sell right now and they were in urgent need of money, they wouldn't have to be here listening to an old man's sarcasm.
Grandpa Wang acted as if he didn't notice their expressions and said with a smile: "Comrades, let's go!"
The procedures went smoothly and Xu Ning gave the money to the couple at the Housing Management Office.
I went to Wen Qing again and asked him to keep an eye out for anyone selling a house. I also brought a dress for his wife.
When Wen Qing sent her out, he asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, didn't you just buy a house some time ago? Why do you need to buy another house?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Ning also whispered to him, "The set I bought last time belonged to my brother.
I have some money now, so I want to prepare a set for each of Niupitang and let them move out when they get married, so as to avoid conflicts when living together. ”
Wen Qing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you really think long-term. How big is a piece of candy? You've already thought about their marriage."
He thought for a moment and said, "It's better to buy it early. More and more people are returning to the city this year, and the housing market may become increasingly tight."
"I think so too, Wen Qing. If you have enough money, prepare it for your child as early as possible. You have to buy it anyway."
Wen Qing smiled, "I understand, sister-in-law. I'll discuss it with my wife when I get back."
Xu Ning smiled and nodded, "Then I'll be leaving. You can go and get busy."
