◎I was very angry◎
The braised food was almost ready and it was time for lunch. Wei Xuan went to the store to pick up the vegetables left over from the morning. When she passed by the next door, she opened the door and went in to take a look.
This room is about the same size as the one next door, both are around 30 square meters. Wei Xuan gestured and thought that if the counter and the fitting room were separated, the remaining space would be a bit too small.
After walking around the room twice, Wei Xuan stood outside and looked around.
Then she walked back to the store next door and asked Wang Xiaomei: "I remember there was a breakfast shop next door before? Why didn't I see them open today?"
Wang Xiaomei heard this and whispered in Wei Xuan's ear, "I heard that it was because the owner of the breakfast shop caught his wife having an affair with a customer. I don't know if it's true or not, but since the rumor came out, the shop has been closed."
I see. Wei Xuan was not interested in these gossips. She continued to ask what she wanted to know: "Then do you know whether this store is still open?"
"I haven't heard of it." Wang Xiaomei shook her head and asked Wei Xuan: "Sister-in-law, you are not going to buy his house again, are you?"
Wei Xuan smiled and said, "No, I'm just asking. I'll go back first and come back in the afternoon."
...
...
On the way home, Wei Xuan was thinking about what Wang Xiaomei had just said. It would be great if that store could be sold. She could buy it and connect it with the one next door, merging the two stores into one. The total area would be about 60 square meters. In this way, after removing the two fitting rooms, there would be about 50 square meters of space left for her to display clothes.
I just don't know whether they are willing to sell it, and if so, how much they would like to sell it for.
Jiang Che didn't know that his wife was planning to buy a house again. After get off work that night, he didn't even go home and went straight across the street.
Hong Zhen and his wife were both at home at this time. When they saw Jiang Che coming, Hong Zhen asked him straight away if there was anything wrong.
Jiang Che didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
Jiang Che had just finished speaking, and Hong Zhen hadn't spoken yet, but Fang Jing was already very excited: "Did Wei Xuan come up with this? She has a good idea. Is Wei Xuan at home? If she is, I'll go talk to her."
Jiang Che didn't even go home, so how could he know if his wife was at home? He could only say, "She should be at home. Sister-in-law, don't rush to find her. You have to ask Brother Hong about this first. I don't know if the tiles and lights are easy to fix. If they are not easy to fix, it will be useless no matter how good your ideas are."
Fang Jing thought it made sense so she turned to look at her husband.
"Ahem..." Hong Zhen cleared his throat and said, "These two things are not difficult to get, but they may be a little difficult to transport. If you really want them, I'll call a friend of mine and ask if he can put them on the train and ship them back to us."
"That's a good idea. Go ask now."
Hong Zhen was helpless when faced with such an impatient wife.
"It's already evening, we have to wait until tomorrow. I'll call and ask tomorrow morning."
Jiang Che was not in a hurry. As long as it could be transported back, he would be fine. He thanked Hong Zhen and planned to go home.
Fang Jing quickly stopped him and said, "Please tell Wei Xuan that I will go to your house to see her tomorrow afternoon. It's too late now and you guys still have to eat, so I won't go over."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
When I got home from the house opposite, Wei Xuan was already cooking in the kitchen.
Jiang Che told Wei Xuan the news he got from Hong Zhen. Wei Xuan was very happy after hearing it, but after being happy, she thought about the house again. She thought about it for a while but finally said it out loud: "Jiang Che, what do you think about me buying the store next to ours and connecting them to open a clothing store?"
"Which store? You mean the one next door to the clothing store you're planning to open?"
"Yes, that's his house. It used to be a breakfast shop, but it's closed now. I plan to ask him if he wants to sell it. If he does, I want to buy it. I went to see it today, and it's too small to open a clothing store."
Jiang Che didn't have any objections, but just asked: "Do you have any money now?" Even though he didn't know how much savings the family had left, Jiang Che knew that there wouldn't be much. At least there was definitely no money to buy a house.
As expected, when the topic of money was brought up, Wei Xuan's face instantly fell. She only had a little over 2,000 yuan in her hand, which was not even enough to buy lights and tiles, let alone a house.
Jiang Che saw her dilemma and suggested, "How about we sell a house?"
"Selling a house, which house do you want to sell?"
Jiang Che thought for a moment and said, "The courtyard house you bought before or the one we use to make braised meat now will do."
Wei Xuan refused without thinking, she would be stupid to sell the gold nugget just to open a clothing store.
After working so hard to sell clothes for twenty years, she still might not be able to match the increase in the price of a courtyard house. Is Wei Xuan the kind of person who would do such a stupid thing of losing the big picture for the small?
Seeing that Wei Xuan was so reluctant to sell the house, Jiang Che had no choice but to think about it and said, "How about I go and borrow some money from my mom?"
"Is it possible?" Wei Xuan was tempted for a moment but still shook her head and refused.
"Let's not worry mom and the others. Mom and Dad don't earn much each month, and they have to subsidize my eldest brother and sisters occasionally. I guess they don't have much money left. I'll think of another way."
That being said, what else can Wei Xuan do?
Before going to bed that night, Jiang Che said, "Go and ask tomorrow if the house is for sale. If it's not for sale, all your thoughts will be in vain."
That’s right. The next day, after Wei Xuan finished her work, she came to the store, took a look around, and then went to the street office to inquire.
The auntie from the street office knew Wei Xuan. When she heard that Wei Xuan wanted to buy a house, she gave Wei Xuan the address of the owner of the house without much hesitation.
Wei Xuan went to the address and heard people arguing in the house from a distance. Only when she got closer could she hear clearly how unbearable the words were.
Thinking of the rumors Wang Xiaomei had told her, she did not knock on the door immediately. Instead, she waited until the room was quiet before calling out, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"
"Who is it?" A male voice sounded in the room.
Wei Xuan quickly introduced herself: "I'm the food seller next to your breakfast shop. I came here to discuss something with you. May I ask..."
Before Wei Xuan finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside, and a poorly dressed man appeared in front of Wei Xuan. He first looked Wei Xuan up and down, then smiled and said, "So you are the proprietress of the grain store. We have met before. What can I do for you? Come in and talk."
Wei Xuan felt uncomfortable with his looks and rejected his invitation, saying, "No, I just saw that your store has been closed for a long time, so I wanted to come and ask if your store is still open. If it is not open, can you sell it to me. Of course, if you still need it, just ignore what I said."
When the man heard that Wei Xuan wanted to buy his house, his eyes rolled around and he immediately showed a malicious expression and asked, "How much do you plan to spend on my house?"
Wei Xuan ignored his vulgar tone and said calmly, "One thousand yuan."
The man burst out laughing and said sarcastically, "You want to buy my house with this little money?"
Wei Xuan frowned: "Then how much do you want?" One thousand yuan is not a lot, but it is definitely not a small amount.
Unexpectedly, the man opened his mouth and said, "Two thousand yuan, I will sell it to you for two thousand."
This is asking for too much. Four years ago, she only spent 800 yuan to buy a house of the same size as his. You should know that the house was not worth 800 yuan at that time. She bought it at a premium.
Although four years have passed, the house price has not increased much. She quoted a price of one thousand yuan, actually leaving room for an increase of two hundred yuan. Wei Xuan's psychological price for this house was twelve hundred yuan, but she didn't expect him to ask for two thousand yuan right away.
To be honest, if this house wasn't necessary, Wei Xuan would have wanted to turn around and leave.
Now, I can only swallow my anger and try to reason with him.
"Brother, isn't two thousand yuan a bit too much?"
Wei Xuan felt that she had been very nice, but the man was unmoved and sneered, "Is it a lot? You should know that if I don't sell this house, I can still make a few hundred dollars a month by opening my own store. If I sell it to you now, it's like selling a laying hen. It won't be worth it if I don't pay any less. You don't have to buy it if you think it's too much. I don't care anyway."
Wei Xuan was infuriated by his shameless behavior and said bitterly: "Then don't buy it, just keep it for laying eggs." After saying that, she turned around and left.
Still making a few hundred yuan a month, dream on! What she didn't know was that his store's business was not good at all, and he could only make a hundred yuan a month at best. Even Wang Xiaomei lived so close, but she didn't want to go to his house if he didn't make breakfast that day, saying that his meat was not fresh and the filling was small.
My good mood was really ruined by such a person.
If you don't want to sell it, just say so. I'm just teasing her. It's really interesting. Sell it to whoever you want for 2,000 yuan. Anyway, she's not going to buy it.
Even after getting home, Wei Xuan was still angry.
She opened the door, walked into the house, sat on the chair, and started worrying about the clothing store.
I can’t buy a house now, and it’s really a bit of a stretch to open a clothing store in 30 square meters.
Alas, after sitting there for a long time without coming up with any good ideas, Wei Xuan felt her stomach starting to protest, so she had to put the matter aside and stood up to go to the kitchen to make lunch.
Maybe I was really angry. Although I was hungry, I just had no appetite.
After the meal was ready, Wei Xuan took a few bites and didn't want to eat anymore.
Just as she put down her bowl and chopsticks, she heard someone knocking on the door. Thinking of what Jiang Che had told her last night, Sister Fang would come to talk to her about the decoration of the clothing store, Wei Xuan hurried to open the door.
When the door opened, it turned out to be Fang Jing standing there.
Fang Jing came in, glanced at Wei Xuan and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? You don't look very well."
"Don't mention it," Wei Xuan told her what happened in the morning.
Fang Jing immediately said after hearing this: "Are you stupid? Next time you encounter this kind of thing, let your Jiang Che go. He will definitely take advantage of you because you are a woman and bully you because you are unfamiliar. If it is a man, do you think he would dare to say that?"
Maybe it was really like what Fang Jing said, some people just bully the weak and fear the strong. It was also the first time that Wei Xuan met such a person. But now this is not the point, the point is that the house cannot be bought, what should I do next?
Fang Jing suggested that she could choose another place.
"Hey, why don't you open a store next door to mine? That way we can look after each other. The house next door to mine is for rent now, and it's big enough."
Wei Xuan did not refuse outright this time. She chose to open a store in her own house in order to save money. But if this house does not meet the conditions for her to open a store, no matter how much money she saves, it will not work. This is not something that can be compromised.
Fang Jing's words just now reminded her that she didn't have to own her own house to open a store. Renting a house was actually not bad. Of course, her own house was definitely better and more stable, but now she was short of money, so renting a house as a backup was also a good idea.
At worst, when I have money in the future, I can buy the house I’m renting now, or buy one in a better location.
After figuring this out, Wei Xuan began to ask Fang Jing about the situation of the house next door.
"The house is about 50 square meters. I didn't ask about the monthly rent, but I estimate it's about 150 yuan. You have to ask for the details yourself."
Fifty square meters is indeed enough for Wei Xuan's current needs, but whether to rent it or not, Wei Xuan thought about it and decided to ask Fang Jing for an address. She plans to go and see it in person tomorrow.
"Okay, the location is great anyway, you can check it out and decide if you're satisfied."
Wei Xuan smiled and didn't respond. It was not a problem of location, but that she had no money at the moment, and she couldn't afford to rent a more expensive place.
