Chapter 415 Buying a House
The group followed Lin Chongping to the main house.

There was also some messy trash on the ground of the main house, and looking up, there were many broken and displaced tiles.

Everyone went to two rooms in a row, but the smell was too strong in both.

Lin Chongping simply opened the windows and doors to let the house air out.

Next to the outer wall of the main house, there was a low shed with an earthen stove underneath, the firebox of which was stuffed with dead leaves and cobwebs.

As the group was observing, a middle-aged man with a loud voice entered the room.

"Xiao Lin, is this the buyer you introduced? Oh my, judging from the clothes of this family of four, they seem to be a well-off family with jobs."

Lin Chongping hurriedly introduced to Chen Qing and the others: "This is Uncle Zhang, who is also the closest relative of this family."

Chen Qing and He Yuan greeted each other politely.

Lin Chongping then explained Chen Qing and He Yuan's identities to Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo smiled and said, "Little Chen and Little He, right? Look at this location, it's so nice, quiet in the middle of the city, just two alleys away from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the well is right in the yard, so convenient. This brick and tile house is also sturdy. If Old Wang's family hadn't left in a hurry with the army, how could it have been empty until now? You guys are lucky, you've gotten a great deal!"

Chen Qing felt a chill run down his spine.

coming.

It's time to discuss the price.

The host offered a price of 1,300, which Chen Qing initially thought was acceptable, but after looking at the house more closely, he felt there was room for negotiation.

He Yuxiang was also on high alert.

Chen Qing also laughed and said, "Uncle Zhang, I dare not accept your words."

Let's look at this roof. How many tiles are broken? Whenever it rains, it's a heavy rain outside, but a light rain inside.

The walls are also problematic; they crumble at the slightest touch and smell musty. The windows are even worse—not a single pane of glass is good. Repairing the house will be a huge hassle for me.”

Uncle Zhang looked in the direction she was pointing and was struck where it hurt.

But the final selling price of the house is closely related to him.

He certainly couldn't easily give up his right to raise prices.

Zhang Bo raised his voice: "Comrade Chen, you're a respectable person, you can't say that. This house may be a bit old, but the property rights are clear, and there aren't any of those complicated issues. Do you know how difficult it is to find a detached house with clear property rights these days? So many people are eyeing it. If it weren't for your sincerity, I wouldn't have bothered showing it to you! This house, the location, the property rights, the foundation—everything is valuable! The land cost, the bricks and tiles cost, the labor cost, etc. It cost a fortune to build this house back then! Now, even considering the depreciated value, it's already a huge favor to give you, and you're still being picky!"

He was aggressive, acting as if he would find someone else if I didn't buy it.

He Yuxiang suppressed the smile on his lips. Why didn't he include the favors he received for buying those things?!
Chen Qing remained unmoved and calm: "Uncle Zhang, that's not how you calculate things. You said that clear property rights are an advantage, and I agree with that."

But as you said, the house has been empty for three whole years without anyone living in it or repairing it. How much damage has it suffered?

The wood is rotten, the walls are pitted, and the roof is collapsed. When you built your house, money made everything easy. Now everything is restricted. I don't know how much more effort I had to put in to find connections to repair it. This probably cost no less than what you spent building it back then.”

He Yuxiang looked at his aunt and thought that she was very good at saying anything to bargain. Saying a few more words could save him money, which was worthwhile!
Zhang Bo thought about it carefully and realized that it would indeed take a lot of favors to get Chen Qing to buy things like wood, tiles, red bricks, and glass.

So, with a cold expression, he asked, "What's your bottom line?"

“Uncle Zhang, I really want to buy it, but you have to understand me. My husband and I are both alone and have no one to rely on. It's not easy for us to save money. I know we've been friends for a long time. How about 1,100?”

A brief, tense silence fell between the two sides.

The cold wind howled through the broken window.

Uncle Zhang frowned: "Too low."

“I know it would cost me at least two hundred dollars to repair the house, but I know it would be difficult for you too. How about this, one thousand one hundred and fifty dollars?”

Chen Qing raised the price once.

Seeing that she was willing to raise the price and that there seemed to be room for negotiation, Uncle Zhang said, "One thousand two hundred."

Chen Qing frowned: "My husband and I need to discuss this carefully." "Alright, you two discuss it." Seeing Chen Qing's conflicted expression, Uncle Zhang was no longer in a hurry and chatted with Lin Chongping.

Chen Qing and He Yuan, who had come to the corner, said, "As long as the price of this house does not exceed two thousand, we will make a profit if we buy it."

“Hmm.” He Yuan also frowned and played along with her: “I met someone from a glass factory a while ago, and I can wholesale some glass.”

"That's good," Chen Qing replied, shaking his head.

Xiao Yu and He Yuxiang looked up at their insincere conversation and were slightly shocked.

Seeing that the couple kept talking and their expressions were unpleasant, Uncle Zhang felt secretly pleased.

Chen Qing didn't succeed at all!
Hey.

He had also heard that Chen Qingling was sharp-tongued, and she seemed alright now!

The couple chatted for a while before returning. Chen Qing, with a stern face, said to Uncle Zhang, "Let's each compromise and settle for 1,170. What do you think?"

Zhang Bo sighed deeply, "Alas, Comrade Chen, this price is far too low. Let's consider it a good deed, but I must make it clear beforehand that the money must be paid in full at once!"

After clearing things up, Lin Chongping completed his mission and went home, while Zhang Bo, Chen Qing, and others met at the Housing Management Bureau.

Uncle Zhang transferred the house to Chen Qing, and Chen Qing paid him 1,170 yuan as per the rules.

After the property was transferred to Chen Qing, Uncle Zhang left.

Chen Qing asked who wanted the two children?
Xiaoyu said matter-of-factly, "Give it to my brother."

Because her brother is older than her.

He Yuxiang made the decision: "Give it to my sister!"

My younger sister is a girl. If she gets married in the future, having a house will give her confidence.

So Chen Qing transferred the property to Xiao Yu, and she told He Yuxiang, "I'll buy it for you next time I see something suitable."

"It's all right."

He Yuxiang didn't force them; their aunt was willing to buy them a house, which surpasses the willingness of 90% of parents.

But in reality, apart from leaders who have money to burn and are willing to buy houses, most other people are unwilling to buy houses.

Because the government and employers will provide housing, there's no need to worry about this at all.

After completing the transfer of ownership, the group returned to the dilapidated courtyard.

He Yuan took out his notebook to calculate the materials he needed to buy, and then asked Chen Qing, "Does the kitchen need some repairs?"

Chen Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Repair!"

"That will probably cost around three hundred yuan, and we'll need to exchange all sorts of receipts. Let's exchange all the important receipts we've been saving up."

"Row."

Chen Qing spent 1,500 yuan, which made him feel a little pained.

But then she thought about it again, and realized it was only half a year's salary for her and He Yuan, so she didn't feel bad anymore.

The three rooms in the courtyard are all quite large.

The master bedroom has seven units, and the two side bedrooms each have six units.

I believe that at this price, someone will be willing to rent it.

After all, this house has a well.

The fact that she doesn't have to worry about drinking water is better than the small courtyard where she lives.
