Xia Liqun's family left Wu'an County during the war, and later fled overseas for various reasons. Now that they heard that the domestic situation has stabilized, they thought about coming back to take a look, after all, their ancestral home is still in the mainland.
Life abroad is not easy now. The family has almost spent all the property they brought with them. Then they thought of the house in their hometown. The family sold their belongings there and returned to China.
Xia Liqun added: "This time when we returned to China, in addition to wanting to see the ancestral home, he also wanted to bring back the ashes of his deceased relatives and bury them in this native land. 'Returning to one's roots' was the last wish of my grandparents and father."
Xia Liqun looked at Chen Jianguo with a pleading tone: "Comrade, although I am a little presumptuous, I still want to ask you, if you are willing to give up this house, I will buy it for any price."
After hearing this, Chen Jianguo was silent for a while.
I thought, he is so arrogant, must he have made a lot of money outside?
After a moment of silence, Chen Jianguo slowly said, "Comrade Xia, we just bought this house not long ago, but this is the only house we have."
Then he said embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you. As you can see, we have children at home and students in school. It's not easy to find such a big house for the whole family to live in."
Xia Liqun understood what Chen Jianguo meant. He nodded and said, "I understand. This house isn't that easy to find. How about this? You consider other options. I really want to buy it back. Money is not a problem. Just ask."
Chen Jianguo didn't expect that they were so obsessed with this house. This made things a bit difficult. He looked at his wife not far away, wanting to know what she thought.
Jiang Baige never thought that while they were living so well here, one day someone would come and want their house, and be determined to get it and willing to spend any amount of money.
The couple looked at each other, then separated to look at the Xia couple.
Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, Liu Damei spoke quickly.
"Comrades, we also have our own difficulties. My mother-in-law is already 91 years old, and her wish is to return to the old house and live here in her old age."
"She's back this time too, and is temporarily staying at a relative's house. She even insisted we rush to pick her up when she came this time."
Jiang Baige didn't think about anything else, but was moved by her words, and then said.
"How about we discuss it and tell you the final answer later."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Jianguo and hooked her finger at him.
Seeing his wife had something to say, Chen Jianguo quickly stood up and said, "Have some tea, the two of you. We'll be right back."
Xia Liqun was overjoyed when he heard this. "Okay, you and your wife can take your time to think about it. We'll wait for your answer."
Seeing the young couple leave, Xia Liqun wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was really not easy to make up a lie under the police's nose.
Liu Damei was afraid that they were unwilling to sell the house, so she asked quietly, "Do you think they will give up the house?"
Xia Liqun said: "Don't say too much, just wait. It's just a matter of paying more money. It's worth spending some money."
Liu Damei quickly shut up and looked around the house.
I thought to myself, this house is not valuable at all, what is valuable are the things left by the old man.
Suddenly I saw a dog at the door, sticking out its tongue, staring at me, and patting his chest and saying.
"This big dog scared me to death."
In the room, Chen Jianguo asked Jiang Baige: "Wife, we live well in this house, are you really willing to sell it?"
Jiang Baige pulled him to sit down and analyzed the situation with him: "Look! The owner of this house is determined to buy it back. If we slam the door and refuse to sell it, will they find other ways to force us to sell the house?"
"Jiaojiao still has to go to school, and I don't want them to affect her studies. Besides, we don't know these people. Looking at their temperaments, they might not be good people."
"And the balls are so small, what if something happens?"
Chen Jianguo didn't expect that his wife had thought so far ahead. After listening to her analysis, Chen Jianguo felt it made sense.
Then he nodded and said, "I think what you said makes sense. I'll listen to you."
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll find a house near your workplace. This place is so far from your workplace. If we buy a house closer, you won't have to travel so far to get to work."
"It also has to be close to school. Jiaojiao goes to school nearby, and in the winter, you don't have to get up so early."
Chen Jianguo suddenly understood, then smiled and said, "I'll do as you say."
There were strangers in the house. Siyan was sitting at the door. He saw the two men looking at their house, tilted their heads to look, and kept sobbing.
Seeing the dog staring at him, Xia Liqun didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements.
After Chen Jianguo and Jiang Baige had discussed it, they came out of the room together.
Xia Liqun laughed and said, "You two have discussed it."
Chen Jianguo said: "We can sell the house to you, but give us a few more days. We still need to find a house before we can move out."
After hearing this, Xia Liqun said happily, "Of course, I'll give you five days to see how it goes."
After hearing this, Liu Damei, who was next to him, also showed joy on her face.
Jiang Baige frowned when she saw the expressions of the couple. She didn't expect them to be so anxious. They had five days to find and buy a house. If everything went well, they would also have to clean the house. There was no time at all.
Xia Liqun continued, "Since you agree to sell the house, you can discuss the price first."
Jiang Baige looked at Chen Jianguo, waiting for his decision.
Chen Jianguo held her hand behind her back, squeezed it gently, and said, "Don't worry."
The original price of their house was just made up by Jiang Baige, and she didn't ask for any money at all. Now that someone else wants to buy it, the price must be higher than the price she mentioned.
Jiang Baige said, "We bought this house for 800 yuan. It was quite run-down when we bought it. We fixed it up and built a house in the backyard. It cost us a lot of money. Now it's estimated that we need at least 1,000 yuan before we are willing to move out."
"And these things you see now are all bought by us later, and we will move them out when the time comes."
After hearing this, Xia Liqun's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
A thousand dollars is not a lot of money. If they want the things, they can move out. I just want the house.
Xia Liqun hesitated for a moment. He looked at his wife beside him, then looked at the house, and finally nodded.
He said, "Then it's the price you mentioned. However, I hope to complete the formalities as soon as possible."
Chen Jianguo said: "No problem, if you have time, we can go tomorrow."
The two parties reached an agreement, and the next step is to work out the specific transaction details.
When I go to handle the formalities tomorrow, I will pay the money and receive the goods.
