"What else can I do? Didn't those grandparents force it? There was no charcoal in the shop, and one by one, as if they had a grudge against us, they were clamoring for our shopkeeper to think about it.

Our shopkeeper has no choice but to hide in the back hall.

A mother just came over and said that if she didn't send her charcoal today, she would bring someone to demolish our shop in the evening! The little day and night are looking forward to you! ”

After saying that, he led the people out to move the goods.

When Xu Deren came out, not to mention how strange his expression was.

He was carrying a charcoal basin and pouring tea for her.

After finishing his work, he took out a wooden box from the back hall.

"Auntie, this is the house I found for you. A few days ago, there was a rebellion outside the town, and the original owner was afraid of war, so he hurriedly sold his house and went to his relatives. I paid the money first and took the house down. Two hundred and twenty taels bought. ”

took the deed, and the appearance of the house was painted on it, but it was not much different from what I wanted, and there was a small courtyard with one door and two entrances.

Looking at the lot, it is not far from here.

"This ...... Right in front of your shop? ”

Xu Deren nodded: "Yes, the house is the same as mine, some years, but my aunt can rest assured, the house is firm and does not need to be renovated." ”

Lin Tao remembered that when there was a big drought, she also inquired about the price, and if she rented a small courtyard in a remote area like this, she would have to rent two or three taels a month.

If you buy it, it will be two hundred and seventy eighty taels. It's a little bit higher than that.

Two hundred and twenty taels can be bought, so I am really in a hurry.

If you look closely, there is no price stated on the deed, and there is no name on the owner.

Compared with the previous title deed obtained by the Jian family, it is missing the imperial seal.

The rest of the information is very similar.

"This house is sold, don't you need to go to the county office to write a famous painting or something?"

"No, you don't! However, if you buy a new house or land, you need to register with the county government and pay the corresponding taxes. After that, as in farming, you will need to pay a capitation tax every year. If there is a talented man in the family, then the poll tax can be exempted. ”

No wonder Jian Xiunan directly gave her the title deed, and it was over.

"Is there a house like this around here?" Lin Tao asked.

"Yes!" Xu Deren nodded: "This one next door also sells it." In the past, it was rented to other people to make shops. Later, the renter left, and it has been empty until now. It is estimated that the money has been too tight recently, and it is said that it is going to be sold. ”

"No, it's not enough for my aunt to buy a house?" Xu Deren asked.

In his concept, a house is just a house to live in.

The road section is better, that is, you can open a shop, rent it out or do some business yourself.

But I haven't seen it, and I want to buy a house one after another.

Let's just say that in the past, when the years were good, those rich old men only loved Zhuangzi outside the city.

The small dilapidated houses in the city, especially the houses in the remote sections, are not eye-catching to the old men.

"Let's go, show me the houses for sale around here."

Xu Deren answered, took Xiao Lizi back to look at the shop, and led her out.

After walking a few steps, I arrived at the house he was talking about.

happened to be in the house that Xu Deren helped her buy, and Xu Deren's shop.

"His family doesn't live here, and the shop is empty." Xu Deren said, unloading the door barrier and leading her in.

"Behind this window is my backyard."

This is a house, pure is a shop.

The area is not large, about 20 square meters, divided into two rooms, the outer room is slightly larger, and there is a kitchen inside.

The stove and vegetable shelves are all put with ash that has accumulated.

"It used to be a porridge shop. Drink porridge and tea outside for people to rest. ”

"How much is he going to sell?"

Xu Deren scratched his head in embarrassment: "My aunt may not know that if you have silver now, you may not be able to buy food." This money has been made worthless! For this small room, he asked for a hundred taels of silver. ”

Lin Tao nodded and walked out: "Is there anything else nearby?" ”

Xu Deren hurriedly put the door panel back together and led her to the opposite side.

Entered the alley and knocked on the side door.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man, dressed in a green cloth jacket, and it could be seen that his family was slightly better than that of the village households.

"Shopkeeper Xu? Why are you here? ”

"Second Brother Wang, don't you want to sell your house? I'll bring someone to take a look, I don't know, is it convenient at this time? ”

The middle-aged man immediately invited them in and enthusiastically led them around the house.

The house is not brought, there is a shop of about 40 square meters in front, there is a courtyard of about 50 square meters in the middle, three rooms are built on three courtyard walls, and a stove shed is built.

The middle of the yard was not empty, and a small vegetable garden was dug out.

Now it's covered with snow, so I can't grow anything, but I have a few chickens.

There was a coughing sound in the hall, and the middle-aged man brought a bowl of hot water inside.

Xu Deren whispered: "Before the heavy snowfall, his family still relied on rental shops to live, but it was okay. But as soon as the snow fell, no one rented the shop, and the family became more and more stretched, and now he relied on his daughter-in-law to do some rough work in Wang Yuanwai's house, and he got a bite to eat. His mother was sick a month ago, and it is estimated that she had no money to see a doctor, so she wanted to sell the house. ”

"How much does his house cost to sell?"

"His family is more expensive, two hundred taels!"

Compared with the second courtyard that Xu Deren bought for her, it costs two hundred taels here, which is indeed more expensive.

"Shopkeeper Xu is very familiar with this area."

"Yes, it's been a neighborhood for years. If you look down and don't see what you look up, you are naturally familiar. ”

"Then let's go back."

Xu Deren went to the hall and talked to the people inside for a while, and then left with the little old lady.

At present, this snow disaster can be regarded as the worst in decades.

It's been snowing for almost two months, and many people can't even stutter.

And look at the street where there is only a pawn shop open, you can know how miserable it is.

For people like him, if they have something to sell at home, they would have pawned it long ago.

If a family member is sick and lacks money to save his life, he can only sell the house where he lives.

Following the little old lady, he didn't say much.

I felt that the old lady suddenly wanted to see the house sold nearby, which should be a measure of whether the house he helped buy was expensive.

Come to think of it, it is not related to others, and it is a disaster year, and no one's money is blown by the wind, so it is natural not to worry.

Back to the shop.

"Shopkeeper Xu, please notify me that the house is going to be sold in this neighborhood later, and come over with the deed for me to take a look, and I won't have to worry about you, and follow me one by one."

"Huh?" Xu Deren couldn't believe the little old lady beside the brazier.

"Auntie, aunt really want to buy a house?"

"That's right! Shopkeeper Xu doesn't need to worry, I will pay you exactly the errand money that should be given. ”

"No, I, that's not what I meant."

Thinking of the suspicion just now, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

I really didn't expect that the little old lady really wanted to buy a house.

Before going out, he asked, "Auntie, how many houses do you plan?" ”

If it was only one or two, he would ask the price from house to house, pick a few places that fit the old lady's heart, and call the cheapest one.

It is also necessary not to give hope to the neighbors, if the old lady does not look down on it, it is equivalent to pouring cold water on the neighbors!

It's not easy for everyone to live!

Lin Tao rubbed his hands and thought about it, how many houses.

"The price is right, I'll buy them all."

"Buy them all?" Xu Deren's eyes widened.
