Chapter 32 Negotiation
The old woman brought the people and prepared to leave, clearly not wanting to be involved.
Ye Shenge quickly grabbed the old woman's hand and stuffed fifty cents into it.
"Thank you, Grandma, for your help. Otherwise, the three of us siblings wouldn't have found a house so smoothly."
Seeing the money in her hand, the old woman shook her head happily and left, continuously saying that if they ever needed anything, they should look for her.
The three of them entered the courtyard smoothly. It was tidily organized, with a vegetable patch full of lush green vegetables.
The house had four main rooms, a living room, and three bedrooms. There was also a kitchen, a toilet, and a shed-like woodshed. The living room had a complete set of chairs and benches, and the three bedrooms had simple beds and wardrobes.
"Old Grandpa, how much is it to rent this courtyard?"
"Three yuan a month, paid annually. If I sell it halfway through, I'll refund you the remaining rent."
The old man spoke frankly, clearly a generous and good-natured elder, with a constant smile on his face.
"You want to sell the house! Old Grandpa, how much are you selling it for?"
"Are you looking to buy?" Su Dan Novel Network
"My parents' jobs have been transferred to Qishi, and they still don't have a place to live. If the price is right, we'd like to buy one."
The old man nodded and then looked at the attire of the three in front of him.
"If you genuinely want it, it's six hundred yuan, or three hundred yuan and three hundred jin of fine grain. All the furniture inside will be yours."
Ye Shenge didn't expect houses to be so cheap at the time, but she put on a hesitant expression.
"Old Grandpa, can it be cheaper?"
"It can't be any cheaper. It's not easy to buy a house now, especially one near the factory area."
Ye Shenge put on an expression of determined resolve.
"Alright, but I have a small problem that I don't know how to solve."
"Tell me, let me hear it."
"My parents have just arrived at the factory. We're hoping to get an allocation of housing in the future, and buying a house outside is also for my younger brother's future marriage. So, the house can't be under their names for now. Our siblings' household registration hasn't been transferred over yet, so this house..."
The old man stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then waved his hand.
"That's not a problem. You can pay a deposit now to secure the house, and I'll write you a note as proof. When you've transferred your household registration, we'll proceed with the payment and the transfer of ownership."
Ye Shenge was very happy. She just needed to wait to be separated from the Ye family before she could buy a house.
"Can I pay twenty yuan first? My parents are working and can't be reached right now."
The old man thought it was a bit too little, expecting at least a hundred yuan.
Ye Shenge could tell, but she really didn't have that much on her. The transaction would have to wait until tomorrow night.
"Old Grandpa, we're paying a deposit today. When can we move in?"
"Once the money is paid, you can move in today. I have other properties elsewhere."
Wow, he's quite wealthy.
"Then, can we sign an agreement first?"
Ye Shenge took out some loose change from her pocket, which made the old man's mouth twitch. How did he feel like this girl was unreliable?
"This, girl, isn't twenty yuan a bit too little?"
"Old Grandpa, it is a bit little. How much do you think is appropriate? My parents are afraid of me carrying too much money for safety, so I still need to get it from them. But they're very busy these two days, so I can only get the money from them the day after tomorrow morning."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as she could pay it, it was fine.
"Alright, you pay twenty now, and then eighty the day after tomorrow. I'll give you a receipt for one hundred then."
