"Someone you can't afford to offend?" Qi Mengmeng didn't react for a moment.
Gu Guizhi took Qi Mengmeng's hand, found a stone in the park to sit down, and continued.
"We will live in the house near your school most of the time. This house is empty anyway, so why not rent it out? I have some comrades in the capital, both active and retired. We can rent the house to them, and no one will dare to come and make trouble."
Not to mention Mrs. Sun, even Director Li has to think carefully about any ideas he has. Soldiers in this era are still highly valued and respected.
Qi Mengmeng raised her eyebrows. Why did she feel that this house was bought for Gu Guizhi?
"You've had this idea for a long time?"
Gu Guizhi quickly shook his head: "I just thought of this when I saw this house. We can't live in this house for the time being, so let's rent it out first. When we want to live in it, we can take it back and repair it. I promise that it will be easy to take it back."
Qi Mengmeng thought that it would definitely not be convenient for her to live here during the years she was studying in Beijing. When Gu Guizhi graduated from the military academy, she didn't know what the situation would be like, and it seemed that she would not be able to live in this house.
But the location of this house is so good, and more importantly, it will definitely be valuable in the future, so she was reluctant to give up the title deed.
"Okay, let's ask the owner for his opinion. If there aren't any major problems, we'll buy it."
Qi Mengmeng thought for a while and decided to buy the house.
Whether or not to move in can be decided after she graduates.
When Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi returned home, Zhang Meiling and Professor Jiang were already in the guesthouse playing with the two children.
Seeing the two men come back, Zhang Meiling told them the news they had found out.
"The person who took us to see the house today was Deputy Director Li. She has some connections, so everyone calls her Director Li. But Lao Jiang and I went to the street office later and met the director. The director's surname is Hao. She guaranteed that as long as the owner comes back, they will definitely let the family move out."
Qi Mengmeng nodded. It would be great if Director Li could not cover up everything with one hand.
It seems she was overthinking it.
Zhang Meiling said this with some amusement, "When we went to see Director Hao, she looked very surprised. She didn't even know we had visited the house."
After the house was taken back, Director Hao asked Director Li to notify the people in the house to move out one after another. However, Mrs. Sun and her family felt that the house allocated to them was too small to accommodate them, so they stayed in the original house and refused to leave.
Director Li took the initiative to say that she had a way to let Mrs. Sun and her family move out after the landlord came back. Since the landlord would not be back for the time being, she could let Mrs. Sun and her family live there first to prevent the house from being damaged.
What no one expected was that within a few days, the owner of the house would be back. The house previously allocated to Grandma Sun's family had three spacious rooms that could be divided into five or six rooms, but they didn't want it. Now they are looking for another house, and a house with two rooms is good.
Of course, Director Li has to inform Mrs. Sun and the others of the result.
Director Hao laughed at that time, and Zhang Meiling was too embarrassed to ask the reason. It was not until they heard the two clerks whispering that they understood.
Qi Mengmeng nodded after listening to this. As long as Director Hao was willing to be impartial, it would be fine.
Since Director Li is a relative of that family, let her solve the relative's problem.
The next day, Zhang Meiling and a white-haired old lady appeared downstairs of the guesthouse. Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi had already dressed and had breakfast.
Today they were going to look at a house and handle the paperwork. Qi Huilan felt sorry for her two children and did not plan to take them with her, so she stayed behind to take care of the children.
Zhang Meiling really liked the two children. She went to see the two children first before going out.
On the way, Zhang Meiling had already told both parties the situation.
Feng Qingqing's appearance showed that she had been through all kinds of hardships, but when she opened her mouth, her voice was so soft that people could not help but slow down their tone and volume.
"Mengmeng, you call Aunt Meiling, which means you are my niece. You can just call me Aunt Qing. I heard from Meiling that you have already seen the house. If you think it is suitable, how about 5,500 yuan?"
Qi Mengmeng was a little surprised. She hadn't said anything yet, but the price was reduced by 500 yuan. This was not a small amount.
Feng Qingqing obviously misunderstood Qi Mengmeng's meaning. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "How about? One hundred less?"
"No need, Aunt Qing, that's not what I meant. I just didn't expect you to offer such a big discount." Qi Mengmeng quickly explained what she meant to avoid misunderstanding.
Feng Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay. Since you call me aunt, how can I charge you more money?" Feng Qingqing smiled, with a glow around her face.
Qi Mengmeng didn't know why, but she felt a little sad. This old man must have a story, otherwise he wouldn't have given up his house in the capital and insisted on staying in the remote countryside.
"Mengmeng, if you think it's okay, let's go and handle the formalities. I've got the title deed certificate and everything."
"Then let's go take a look at the house first. If Aunt Qing thinks it's okay, we'll go and handle the formalities." Qi Mengmeng didn't expect Feng Qingqing to be so efficient. She didn't refuse and agreed directly.
They first went to the house near Beijing University. The people here knew Zhang Meiling, and the procedures were completed quickly.
Qi Mengmeng brought a bag with her today and put the money in the space, and she would convert it through the bag when the time comes.
After the formalities were completed, Qi Mengmeng handed three thousand yuan to Feng Qingqing.
Feng Qingqing didn't take it right away. Instead, she asked Qi Mengmeng with some embarrassment: "Can you help me transfer the money?"
Qi Mengmeng agreed immediately. It was just a trip to the post office, so what was the problem? She asked again, "Do I have to remit the money from selling the other house as well?"
Feng Qingqing nodded. It was not safe for an old woman like her to take the train with so much money, so she had agreed when she came here that she would send the money back immediately after selling the house, so that her family would feel at ease and she would feel at ease when she returned.
"How about, Aunt Qing, I can transfer the money for the other house to you as well?" Qi Mengmeng suggested, so that they wouldn't have to make two trips.
Feng Qingqing firmly disagreed.
"Meng Meng, I'm worried that I won't be able to get the house back, and we haven't completed the formalities yet. How can you give me the money first? If there is any problem, it will be troublesome to get the money back."
Zhang Meiling also disagreed and said, "Not many people are sending money, and it's early now. Let's finish the formalities over there and then come over to send the money."
After saying that, Zhang Meiling took advantage of Feng Qingqing's incomprehension and glared at Qi Mengmeng. This girl, why is she giving money to others when the house hasn't even been bought yet?
Qi Mengmeng chuckled twice. She made the proposal because she saw that Feng Qingqing had few people around and was good friends with Zhang Meiling. More importantly, she had seen the other party's house deed and knew that the house did belong to Feng Qingqing, so she made the proposal.
Since no one agrees, let's go through the formalities and then transfer the money.
