Soon, Zhou Qianling helped to arrange a meeting time with the landlord.
There is a church hospital at the corner of Dongming Street. There used to be some foreign doctors working there. In order to facilitate living, a row of small houses were built on the street.
They are not large in scale, but they are quite exquisite and beautiful. The population here is not large and the privacy is relatively good.
When An Huan got married, the landlord was still not there.
She waited at the door for nearly ten minutes before a woman with short hair came over.
The woman looked to be no more than fifty years old, but her hair was already streaked with silver.
"You are Comrade An, right? Hello, my last name is Chen." The woman looked at An Hua, probably assessing her ability.
An Hua deliberately dressed simply today and only wore an ordinary watch on her wrist.
After looking at her for a few seconds, Ms. Chen frowned and said, "You want to buy my house? I wonder where you work?"
An Hua smiled and said, "My buying your house doesn't seem to have anything to do with my workplace, right?"
Ms. Chen curled her lips and said, "Let's go in and take a look first."
The main door of the villa is a small iron door, which is a bit rusty. When it is pushed open, you can see a yard of about 30 square meters, which is full of weeds and a few wild flowers.
The main part of the house is located on the left side of the yard, along a path along the wall and up a few steps.
The villa has two floors. There are two living rooms, a kitchen and a toilet on the first floor. There are three rooms in total, all on the second floor. There is also a toilet on the second floor.
Although it has all the internal organs, it is a little small, and the whole house is covered with wooden floors, which creak when you walk on them.
It’s not as grand and square as the courtyard house in Beijing, and it’s spacious and bright to live in.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on An Hua's face, Ms. Chen frowned and said, "This house was passed down to me by my father. Later, it was confiscated during the house search, but it wasn't damaged much. The location here is also good and very quiet. It's very suitable for living. If I hadn't planned to go abroad, I would never have sold it."
An Hua looked carefully at every corner of the house. "You're not coming back now that you're abroad?"
"Only a fool would come to this damn place!" Ms. Chen snorted coldly. "My father once said that we are the most despicable and ugliest nation in the world. Only the West has real civilization. The people there are gentle and kind, and the system there is a beacon of mankind... I refuted him at that time, but now I think his words are just golden advice! While I am not too old, of course I will run to the embrace of the West, no head down!"
Ms. Chen's words were powerful and her face was full of longing.
An Hua frowned. "Why do you think that only the West has real civilization? And why do you think that the people there are all gentle and kind? Have you ever dealt with people there?"
"My father is a Cambridge graduate. He has seen real scholars with his own eyes... Humph, you look like someone who comes from a 'good family'. You come from a barbaric family, so naturally you support barbarism."
"I regret to tell you that my family background is not good either." An Hua looked at Ms. Chen. "I don't know your experience, but I want to tell you my opinion. Your father only sees things from his own perspective, not objectively. Kind and gentle people are everywhere, and brutality and violence are not exclusive to a certain place. As for the system...
At present, there is no perfect system in the human world that can be called a beacon. What suits him may not suit you. In the process of our own exploration, we may pay some price...”
Ms. Chen snorted, "What do you, a little girl, know? How many years have you lived, and you want to teach me a lesson?"
An Hua spread her hands. "I don't mean to teach you a lesson. I just couldn't help but refute what you said. After all, I am also a member of this nation. If you insult a group, you are insulting me too."
Ms. Chen opened her mouth and waved her hand unhappily, "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the house. How much are you going to pay?"
An Hua: "How much are you going to offer?"
Ms. Chen thought for a while and said, "I don't want much, just three large yellow croakers."
Three large yellow croakers? The courtyard house that An Hua bought in Beijing only had three large yellow croakers, but the owner also bought more than a dozen paintings that would be priceless in the future.
"Big yellow croaker? Ms. Chen, you think too highly of me. How can I, a wage earner, afford a big yellow croaker?" An Hua held up two fingers. "Fifteen thousand is the most I can offer."
"1500?" Ms. Chen was so shocked that her voice almost broke. "Are you robbing me?"
"How can this be called robbery? Of course, both parties must agree to the transaction. If you don't agree, I can't buy it."
