Chapter Fifty-Eight: Buying a House
Sister-in-law Liang was the one who brought Su Qingtong over to buy a house, so she naturally stood on Su Qingtong's side, and said out loud to help: "If you want to buy it, you can make a price, buy and sell houses and compete fairly, don't you allow others to bid?" Besides, whether she has the money to buy it is a matter for Sister-in-law Axi, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
After Sister-in-law Liang finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Sister-in-law Axi: "Sister-in-law Axi, do you think this is the case?" ”
Sister-in-law Axi nodded and said, "That's the case." ”
The son next to Axi's sister-in-law also spoke: "Mr. Chen, if you can't pay a price higher than 65,000, then we have to consider selling this house to this girl." ”
When the man heard this, he looked at his wife beside him, and said like a strong man with a broken wrist: "Then I will also pay 65,000, this is my limit, and I can't pay a penny more." ”
Axi's sister-in-law's son said: "Sixty-five thousand is from this girl, if Mr. Chen wants to buy it, he has to add some." ”
The man glared at Su Qingtong and said, "Sister-in-law Axi, it's enough to add so much, this is also why I really like your house, otherwise who will pay so much money to buy it, this girl said that she said that she would buy your house for sixty-five thousand, but did she take out sixty-five thousand?" If she can take it, I'll add three thousand. ”
Su Qingtong said to him: "Then you mean to give out sixty-eight?" ”
The man jumped up: "Who is out of sixty-eight?" I'm betting that you won't be able to get 65,000, and if you have it, I'll buy his house for 68,000. You go and take it, I see if you can take it out, if you can't take it out, you have to pay me 5,000, it's all because you stirred up the, and the house price increased by 5,000. ”
This is obviously a scoundrel, Su Qingtong didn't bother to mess with him, just looked at Axi's sister-in-law and said: "If you are willing to sell the house to me, then we will sign a sales contract, lest I take the money and have a change, I will pay a thousand yuan as a deposit for the purchase of your house now, no one is allowed to regret this deposit, whoever wants to repent, can compensate the other party for liquidated damages, if you think you can, then we will sign a contract now, and we will go to the housing management office to trade together in the afternoon, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”
Sister-in-law Ah Xi was a little stunned, but in fact, she hoped that the couple would add more, so she turned her head to look at them and asked, "You really don't want it?" ”
The man said, "Who said I don't want it, we also want 65,000, I will also pay 1,000 yuan to sign the contract, and we will go to transfer the house in the afternoon." ”
Su Qingtong looked at the black bag in his hand, she was sure that there were only a few thousand yuan here, if Lu Wanwu was a thousand yuan, he was afraid that he would have to use five or six of these bags to fit it full.
He smiled and said, "But can you get sixty-five thousand in the afternoon?" In your bag, it will contain 5,000 yuan at most, don't make a sales contract at that time, the house book will become yours, but the money can't be taken out, but I am different, you can indicate on the contract that you can't get the full amount in the afternoon, and my 1,000 yuan will be confiscated by Sister-in-law Axi. ”
"You dead on the street!"
The woman suddenly became embarrassed, and rushed towards Su Qingtong, seeing that a slap was about to fall on Su Qingtong's face, but when she saw Su Qingtong's body to the side, the woman couldn't hold back and almost fell to the ground.
At this time, Sister-in-law Ah Xi heard Su Qingtong say this, and suddenly looked at the couple, ten yuan a bill, how many stacks should be 65,000, how can this bag be filled with 65,000?
Seeing that the couple was annoyed and angry and wanted to beat someone, it suddenly dawned on him, and he glanced at the middle-aged couple with a defensive look, and the balance in his heart was completely in favor of Su Qingtong.
Su Qingtong said on the spot: "You are very right, you have to pay it all at once in the afternoon, otherwise the deposit of 1,000 yuan will be confiscated." ”
The man subconsciously covered the leather bag on his lap with both hands and said, "I still have money at home, who said there is no money?" Will I, Chen Laoqi, have no money? You guys ask around, I bought two houses on Nanshui Street, will I be a person with no money? ”
When Sister-in-law Liang heard the words "Chen Laoqi", she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly attached herself to Sister-in-law's ear and said: "I seem to have heard someone talk about Chen Laoqi on Nanshui Street, he bought two houses with thousands of yuan in the past two years, and coaxed the owner to transfer the house to him at a high price, and then used the excuse that he was a little tight on hand, and he would give money after a while, but when he took the house, he would never mention the money again, let me tell you, this Chen Laoqi has a group of people, and the person who sold the house didn't want to say anything, and he was beaten half to death by Chen Laoqi, I heard that Chen Laoqi usually takes people to the store every day to ask for protection money, and he doesn't give money to buy things."
As soon as Sister-in-law Axi heard it, she knew that it was the one in front of her, looking at the cannibalistic appearance of his husband and wife, where was a loyal person, it was clearly a scoundrel, and she was instantly shocked into a cold sweat.
At this moment, he looked at Su Qingtong with great gratitude, but said in his mouth: "Little girl, you are a child after all, and you should discuss with your parents before coming to me after discussing such a big matter as buying a house." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to Chen Laoqi and said: "Mr. Chen, it seems that the money is not ready here, if you are ready to buy and sell the house, you will talk about buying and selling the house, but it is not easy to say whether it will be at this price tomorrow, let's do this today." ”
Chen Laoqi heard that Sister-in-law Axi's tone was a little wrong, and he was anxious first, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Axi, don't listen to the little girl's nonsense, I'm such a big boss, are you still afraid that I will rely on your account?" It's better for us to finalize the contract first, and I will send you the money to buy the house soon, so that no one will delay anything step by step. ”
Sister-in-law Ah Xi sighed, and said helplessly to Chen Laoqi: "Mr. Chen, I don't lie to you, there is a little problem in my foreign business, and I urgently need a large amount of money to turnover, so I came back to sell the old house, if you want to slowly make up money, I can't afford to wait, I will ask the two of you to go back today, I only have one sentence, whoever gives me 65,000 today, my house is theirs." ”
Su Qingtong heard the meaning of Sister-in-law Axi's words, that is, as long as she came over with 65,000, Sister-in-law Axi would sell the house to her.
Su Qingtong is a straightforward person, and she was about to agree, but when she saw Sister-in-law Axi giving her a look, Su Qingtong was a little inexplicable, what does this mean? However, he was still observant and left with Sister-in-law Liang.
Sister-in-law Liang walked out of the door and sighed: "The house is really a good house, but unfortunately money is also money, if it is 50,000 yuan, I can still think of a way, 65,000 yuan can't be bought, and I can't borrow so much money." ”
Su Qingtong was thinking about things in her heart, she didn't know what Sister-in-law Axi meant, she obviously wanted to sell it, why didn't she buy it, so she replied casually: "Although this house is expensive, it looks big, and it is still worth it." ”
As he was talking, Chen Laoqi and his wife also came out, glaring at Su Qingtong fiercely and saying, "Stinky girl, you wait, I can't buy it, don't want it." ”
After saying that, the two of them scolded and left.
Sister-in-law Liang looked at their backs and said worriedly: "These two are not good people, you are afraid that you will hate you if you block their financial path this time, you have to be careful when you walk here in the future, if you want me to say, you should not buy that house." ”
Su Qingtong was also a little afraid, although she had space to hide, but she couldn't prevent a sneak attack, after all, it was impossible to prevent people for a while, but she really liked the house, and thought, maybe this house was successfully bought, and the space house would come out, how could such a good opportunity be missed.
He said, "It doesn't matter, I bought the house and didn't live in it myself, and it was empty if no one rented it." ”
Sister-in-law Liang said: "I'm afraid that Chen Laoqi will come to smash the house, but if you really buy it, I will also help you watch it, the security here is in charge of my nephew, and I can usually take care of it." ”
Su Qingtong said happily: "That's great, Sister-in-law Liang, you are really a good person." ”
Sister-in-law Liang said with a smile: "What a good person is a bad person, I also see that it is not easy for you to be a child, by the way, you should hurry up and find your parents to find a way to make money, I will also go to the store to do things." ”
Su Qingtong looked at the figure of Chen Laoqi who was far away, turned his head to look at the house behind him, and suddenly said to Sister-in-law Liang: "Sister-in-law Liang, I have something to ask you to help me with, you can help me inform Sister-in-law Axi to go through the formalities with the house book!" You can also come and help me be a witness, I will have to trouble you today. ”
Su Qingtong said, stuffed thirty yuan into her hand and said: "This is labor money for you, don't be too little, thank you for the matter, I really want to buy Sister-in-law's house, not joking with her, you can help, bring them over to hand over today." ”
Sister-in-law Liang looked at the thirty yuan in her hand and was stunned, she didn't expect this girl to be a bold person, and she really had some background at hand, so she couldn't help but stare at Su Qingtong for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll help you run again, you kid, you are really a bold child, you make such a big decision alone, be careful that your family doesn't agree to beat you." ”
Su Qingtong saw that she responded, so he smiled and said, "My family is engaged in fruit and grain business, and I have money. ”
Sister-in-law Liang fully believed her when she heard this, and turned around with a smile and walked towards Sister-in-law Axi's house.
Su Qingtong walked into a small shop on the street to wait for her, and waited for a while before Sister-in-law Liang came out, Su Qingtong stepped forward and asked, "How are the talks?" ”
Sister-in-law Liang said: "Sister-in-law Liang agreed, saying that she would come over on time at one o'clock in the afternoon, so that you could prepare the money, by the way, she still has a lot of old things at home, and it is inconvenient to take them abroad, saying that all the five hundred yuan will be sold to you, if you want these furniture, you can hand over the house to you today, otherwise she will have to deal with these things before she can give you the key." ”
Su Qingtong said happily: "It's all a small matter, I'll meet and talk to her later." ”
Sister-in-law Liang said: "Then you hurry up and get the money, I will go to Sister-in-law Axi to go to the Housing Authority after dinner, Sister-in-law Axi has been there before, I know how to go, and she also said that you should not talk everywhere, so as not to trouble Chen Laoqi for you." ”
"I know, this matter is really thanks to Sister-in-law Liang's help."
After Su Qingtong and Sister-in-law Liang separated, they saw that there was no one around, so they shook into the space, and carefully counted the money of the space, fortunately, the price was negotiated, the space was only less than 80,000 yuan, and it took too much money during this time, and the money at hand was getting more and more nervous.
In the afternoon, Su Qingtong and Axi's sister-in-law counted the money in front of the staff of the Housing Authority and went through the formalities.
At this time, the household registration book and the letter of introduction came in handy.
Now the purchase and sale of a house is not as strict as it was later, and there is no age limit, as long as there is a guarantor, the parents should have come forward, but Su Qingtong typed a letter of certification in the commune, and also forged the power of attorney handwritten by his parents, and the transfer procedures became simple.
Sister-in-law Axi handed over the key to Su Qingtong that afternoon, and Su Qingtong also paid an extra 500 yuan to buy those old furniture, although these furniture are some years old, but they look very well protected, with a warm luster all over the body, and they are not ordinary wood at first glance.
Axi's sister-in-law said that this is almost a hundred years of mahogany furniture, if it is not for the consignment to go abroad there will be unknown damage, but also a lot of consignment fees, she is really reluctant to sell, now the old house has been sold, these old objects will be given up with it.
Aunt Liang followed her to inspect the house she had just taken over, pointed to those old objects and said: "Don't look at these things, they are actually quite valuable, people often come to collect these old things, a complete set can be sold for hundreds of yuan, and the things in Sister-in-law Axi's house are well maintained, and the things add up to more than five hundred yuan, you really make money." ”
Su Qingtong smiled and nodded.
Sister-in-law Liang led Su Qingtong and pushed open the back door of the hall house inside and said: "This backyard is the vegetable garden specially left by Sister-in-law Axi's parents-in-law back then, that is, with this vegetable garden, their house is better ventilated and sunny than other people's houses." ”
Su Qingtong looked at the yard behind the house, which was about one acre of land, enough to build another house, but unfortunately it was already barren and overgrown with weeds and shrubs one person high.
Kankan left a stone path to pass people, surrounded by blue bricks built into a two-meter-high wall, there is a slippery one, I am afraid that people often sneak in, after all, it is an empty house, there are always some people who want to touch in to get some benefits, I am afraid that this is the reason why Axi's sister-in-law wants to sell her old residence.
If the people are not here, and they can't take care of the industry here, it is better to sell it without worry, and let the house remain so vacant, it will only become more and more ruined.
Su Qingtong glanced at the backyard and couldn't help but sigh: "It can be seen that the person who built this house is a particular person." ”
Sister-in-law Liang said: "Of course, Sister-in-law Axi's father-in-law made a lot of money abroad and came back to build a house for his wife, and originally planned to make an ancestral house to pass on, and the materials used were the best, but later Sister-in-law's family went abroad, and now it is far away and difficult to take care of, so this side of the industry was sold." ”
Su Qingtong picked up the thorns blocking the road, and it was already a little difficult to go inside, so he had to stand in the middle and look around.
Sister-in-law Liang touched the back of her hand scratched by thorns and sighed: "It's a pity that such a big yard, when I got married, this yard was full of vegetables, and it grew well, and Sister-in-law Axi's mother-in-law often gave uneaten vegetables to the neighborhood." ”
Su Qingtong originally wanted to say that you can come in and grow vegetables in the future, but she still didn't dare to say this kind of thing casually, although there is an area of this yard in the house book, but it is impossible for her to live here, she is afraid that this vegetable field will become someone else's family if it is planted for others, and when the time comes, maybe in order to facilitate access to grow vegetables, you have to open a door on the wall, and your ownership will not be clear.
Su Qingtong said: "I plan to plant a few fruit trees at that time. ”
Aunt Liang said: "You have a good idea, now it is convenient to buy vegetables, and it is not expensive, it is really rare to spend that god, it is better to plant some flowers and plants, and plant a few fruit trees." ”
Su Qingtong nodded with a smile and said, "My family is in the fruit business, so I thought of planting fruit trees." ”
Aunt Liang also smiled, and the two of them turned back to the patio together, and Sister-in-law Liang took Su Qingtong upstairs from the stairs on the left, looked at the carved red lacquer railing and said: "There have been no people living on this side for more than ten or twenty years, and I didn't expect it to be so well preserved." ”
Su Qingtong thought that it was not well preserved, this house is much stronger than his own home, the house is in the architectural style of Nanyang, but it is sandwiched with local carved beams and paintings, the light and ventilation are very good, and it feels a little exquisite.
Su Qingtong finally understood why Axi's sister-in-law's house was sold for 80,000 yuan, it is not expensive according to today's market, let alone a few years later, the reason why it was not sold immediately is because the information is closed, and the surrounding people's ability to bear it is limited.
Su Qingtong suddenly felt guilty, she really took advantage of Sister-in-law Axi.
