[Chapter 386 Chapter 386 Bought a shabby house]
The eight small Western-style buildings are all white.
Each building is three stories high and has two courtyards in front and back.
The front yard is slightly larger, and the back one is slightly smaller.
The house that Qiao An wanted to take Shen Yuyao to see was the one closest to the inside, which was right next to the wall of the staff compound.
The location is relatively quiet.
Shen Yuyao was very satisfied with this.
Because there are many secrets in her home, she prefers to choose a house in a relatively quiet location.
It’s just that this building has probably been uninhabited for a very long time.
Many of the black metal railings outside the yard are broken, and those that are not broken are basically covered with rust.
Looking inside through the railings, you can see that the place is overgrown with weeds, and the grass looks to be as tall as a person.
Among the grass, there is a fallen tree. I don’t know if it was struck by lightning or something. It looks like it has been fallen for quite some time and is almost being buried by the grass.
Not only that, the little white building also looked dilapidated.
There are still a number of rotten big-character posters on the walls outside the building. I don’t know how many years they have been there.
Because this house has a basement, you have to climb steps to enter.
The two people couldn't see what was going on inside the house through the railings, but the half-broken door and the shattered glass windows showed how cruelly the people who lived here had been treated.
Looking at such a house, Shen Yuyao fell silent.
Joan looked at her and said, "That's what I told you. There are some problems with this house. But if you can accept it, it's still a good house."
As the two men were talking, the landlord's client arrived.
He had met Qiao An before, so he looked at Shen Yuyao more, then nodded and asked, "Are you going to buy this house?"
The person who came was a very thin man in his forties, who looked gentle and refined.
He told me that the house was given to his tutor as a betrothal gift when the university hired him to teach. So even though it is in the staff housing complex, the ownership is clear and there is no problem at all.
His mentor had died of illness during that decade, and his children are now either living in other places or have gone abroad.
No one wants to come back to such a sad place, so they asked him to help sell the house.
Hearing about this situation, Shen Yuyao felt relieved.
When she saw that the house was located in a residential compound, she was worried that it was public housing.
"Then please take us in to have a look." Shen Yuyao said.
After opening the door, Shen Yuyao was stunned by the tragic scene inside!
I saw that all the walls in the house were covered with various revolutionary slogans and many words calling for the overthrow of certain people.
The names of the people in those sentences were all marked with a big X!
Even though so many years had passed, and even though the paint had changed color, Shen Yuyao still felt shocked when she saw it suddenly!
She suddenly understood why the professor's children never wanted to set foot in the house again.
There must be unspeakable pain buried in this for the family.
Shen Yuyao silently followed the man around the three floors.
Overall, she is satisfied with the house type.
Because the building has a good orientation, it also has a large living room facing the sun.
Just thinking about it, she could imagine how pleasant it would be to sit in the living room and bask in the sun when spring comes and flowers bloom.
Apart from the living room, this house has enough rooms, and each room is very square.
There are no odd-shaped rooms that cannot be used.
In addition to the first floor, there is also a bathroom on the second and third floors.
All in all, aside from the fact that the house was really badly damaged, this was a really good choice.
Shen Yuyao doesn't have much time to stay in the capital, so she doesn't want to delay it any longer.
In addition, the man made it very clear that the owner of the house was indeed sincere in selling the house, so the price he offered was not high and he did not leave any room for bargaining.
So the two of them discussed it briefly and made the deal at a price of 30,000.
The man was very happy to be able to help his mentor complete the last thing.
He offered to find some good workers who could help Shen Yuyao make connections and clean the house inside and out in two days at most.
Shen Yuyao was overjoyed and immediately asked the man to contact the workers and left a hundred yuan as labor fees.
Shen Yuyao had money with her, and Qiao An was driving the car, so in order to avoid any complications, the three of them went to the Housing Management Office together to handle the handover procedures.
After a week, all the formalities were completed and the title deed of the house was changed to Shen Yuyao's name.
After the formalities were completed and the money was transferred, the man left a bunch of house keys to Shen Yuyao and left.
Looking at the bunch of keys and the stack of documents for purchasing a house, Joan was in a trance.
She couldn't believe it. He bought a house worth 30,000 yuan so quickly? !
She stared at the certificate issued by the Housing Management Office to Shen Yuyao, and after a long while she said, "Yuyao, how much money did you bring out?"
Because of their good relationship, Shen Yuyao didn't care about Qiao An asking about her privacy, and said, "Fifty thousand yuan, we brought all our belongings."
Qiao An looked up in shock, stared at her, then pointed at a small bag she was carrying, and stuttered: "You, you, you put so much money in the bag?"
Shen Yuyao didn't expect that her focus was on this, and patted her bag and smiled: "Yes, otherwise I can't leave it in the guesthouse, right? There's no one in the room, and I'm even more worried."
Qiao An pulled her over and walked away: "Let's go, let's go back quickly. My heart almost stops beating when I think of all the money in your bag."
Shen Yuyao was almost amused by Qiao An.
She patted Joan's hand and said, "Don't worry, we have to go back to the house. I didn't give the key to the basement to the workers just now, so we have to give it to them.
We didn't go down to the basement just now, so who knows how dirty it is in there!"
Knowing that it was serious business, Qiao An didn't say anything, and the two of them drove back to the staff quarters quickly.
When she was still some distance away from the house, Shen Yuyao saw two women standing outside the railing.
They were talking to the workers hired today through the railings.
Shen Yuyao frowned and quickened her pace.
When she was about to reach the house, the worker saw her, waved at her, and then said to the two women, "Aren't you looking for the owner of the house? Here you are. Talk to the owner if you have anything to say."
Shen Yuyao was about to ask what happened?
The woman who originally had a smile on her face suddenly became surprised and doubtful when her eyes fell on Qiao An who was following her.
"Joan, why are you here?" the woman asked.
