After rebirth, my childhood friend became a clingy person

Chapter 178 Accompanying Uncle to Buy a House

178

Fu Jiabao wanted to come over, but the conditions did not allow it.

"Uncle, have you ever considered buying a house nearby?" Jiang Yuechu took the opportunity to encourage him. "That way, you can eat here every day."

"The housing prices here are too expensive, I..." Fu Jiabao was a little embarrassed. He had no savings at all, so how could he afford to buy a house?

"My uncle didn't save money before because of my grandfather's leg, but now he can save slowly. He will eventually save enough money. Now I can lend some money to my uncle, and he just needs to pay me back a little every year."

Fu Jiabao was very excited after hearing this, but since it was a big deal, he still had to think about it.

"Okay." Jiang Yuechu paused and said, "I just heard a few days ago that there is a house for sale near Erniu's school. How about I go with you to take a look after dinner? It doesn't matter if you don't buy it."

Fu Jiabao was indeed moved after hearing this. He hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

After lunch, Jiang Yuechu accompanied Fu Jiabao to see the house that was to be sold.

It is a single-family house with a small courtyard and a bungalow. There are three rooms, a separate kitchen and toilet. The main hall is very large, with two rooms on the left, a room in front of the right, and a utility room at the back. There is a back door behind the main hall. When you open the door, you will find a pond 50 meters away, where you can wash your things.

After leaving the main hall, there is a kitchen and woodshed on the left, and a toilet on the right near the courtyard wall. Not far from the toilet is a wild vegetable field with some vegetables planted in it.

The structure is very similar to the house that Jiang Yuechu lives in the countryside.

Jiang Yuechu thought it was very good and she believed that her uncle would definitely be satisfied.

After walking around for an hour or so, Fu Jiabao finally asked the owner how much the house cost.

The homeowner asked for eight thousand.

Jiang Yuechu felt that it was really not expensive.

She thought of the house she bought in Lishan Town, which was only slightly larger than this one, a two-story Western-style building with good interior decoration.

Everything else is similar.

The key point is that her house, which was just in town, cost her seven thousand five hundred.

This house is now in Beijing, where every inch of land is valuable. Compared with the prices in later generations, this price is simply a bargain.

Jiang Yuechu wished that his uncle would buy it immediately.

"Eight... eight thousand?" Fu Jiabao was so scared when he heard the price offered by the landlord that he almost ran away. He and Jiajia would have to save for ten years without eating or drinking to be able to afford it.

If his niece-in-law hadn't held him back, he would have run away long ago.

The owners of the house are a middle-aged couple in their fifties. According to them, their son bought a large flat with three bedrooms and a living room in the newly developed Xingmin District. They did not have enough money on hand, so they had to sell the couple's house to raise the money for the house.

Such selfish children are common in every era. For their own sake, they are willing to sell their parents' retirement home. But seeing the two elderly people so happy, Jiang Yuechu sighed inwardly.

Only they themselves know the ups and downs of life; others cannot judge.

Although I feel sorry for them for a minute, I still have to bargain when it’s time.

Jiang Yuechu pulled Fu Jiabao's sleeve and whispered, "Uncle, don't leave in a hurry. If you really want to buy this house, we can discuss the price with the owner."

Fu Jiabao looked embarrassed, "This price is already very low, how can they sell it to us cheaper?"

Jiang Yuechu smiled and said, "Just give it a try. You won't know unless you try."

She turned to look at the couple who owned the house, "Uncle and aunt, your house is really nice, but the price is a bit beyond our budget. Can you make it cheaper?"

The couple looked at each other, and the woman said, "Girl, eight thousand is already very cheap for our house. You've also seen the surroundings and the structure of the house. It's definitely worth the price."

Jiang Yuechu nodded, "I know, but our budget is limited, and eight thousand is a bit difficult for us. How about six thousand?"

The man frowned, "Six thousand is too little, we're losing too much." Jiang Yuechu continued, "Uncle and aunt, you know this house is old. If you're not in a hurry to sell it and take your time to look for it, you might find a buyer that satisfies you. But if you're in such a hurry to sell it, it's probably going to be difficult for someone to come up with so much money at once. If you think it's okay, we can pay now."

The couple hesitated for a while, and finally gritted their teeth and said, "The lowest price is 7,000. If it's less than this, we won't sell it. Besides, we want cash."

Jiang Yuechu agreed immediately.

Fu Jiabao pulled her aside, his face flushed: "Wife Yannan, I..."

Jiang Yuechu gave him a comforting smile, turned around and said, "It's settled then. I'll go back and get the money later, and we'll go directly to the Housing Authority to complete the formalities."

Seeing that the other person was reluctant, the two old men also feared that things would get more complicated, so they agreed immediately.

Jiang Yuechu immediately went back to get his passbook and went to the bank to withdraw money. He asked Fu Jiabao to go home to get the necessary documents, and the two agreed to meet directly at the Housing Authority.

When Jiang Yuechu and Fu Jiabao arrived, the two old people were already waiting, as if they were really afraid that they would suddenly change their mind and not buy.

You know, there are not many people who can come up with several thousand dollars at one time. What's more, rich people nowadays don't even look down on houses like theirs.

The formalities were completed quickly. Jiang Yuechu put a thick stack of banknotes in the hands of the two old men and asked them to count them carefully. Once they left the door, they would not acknowledge it.

Fu Jiabao held the freshly issued property certificate in his hand and felt like he was dreaming.

After picking up this group of people, I actually got an extra house.

"Wife Yannan, I...am I dreaming?" Fu Jiabao looked at the thing in his hand again and again, tears welling up in his eyes.

"It's not a dream." Jiang Yuechu looked at him with a smile.

"But, with so much money, when can I pay it back?" Fu Jiabao's mind was clearer at this time, and worry appeared on his face again.

"Don't worry, uncle. We don't need the money anymore. You and Jiajia can pay it back slowly."

Fu Jiabao could only nod. The house had already been bought, what else could he do.
