Chapter 29 Buying a Home
After living for most of his life, this is the first time that the old man of the Xie family has been so dependent on a grown-up child.
A tender feeling could not help but arise in my heart.
He remembered that when the eldest son of the family was just born, he also thought about being a good father and giving stability to his wife and children at home.
When did it start to change?
The old man can't remember clearly.
He only remembered Lu Qiuye's endless grievances and jealousies, as well as his endless abuse. But he obviously told her about his situation from the beginning, and she said she didn't mind if they just got married.
"Okay."
The old man was able to preserve the relics left to him by his father for so many years under Lu Qiuye's supervision, so he had some experience in hiding things.
He accepted the banknote handed over by his second son and said: "Since you don't worry about me, old man, dad will just hold it for you."
Xie Erzhu and his wife relieved their heavy burden.
Showing a smile: "Thank you, Dad!"
With money, the whole family thought that they should first buy a house for their own family to live in.
Xie Sizhu and his wife think that the current house is good.
Spacious and close to the academy.
I asked the dental shop and the other party also said that the owner of the house was willing to sell it.
Just the price is higher.
It costs one thousand five hundred taels.
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing this figure, the adults who suddenly became rich all thought it was a sky-high price.
This is a house in the county, not in the capital, so how can it be sold at such an expensive price?
Xie Lingjiao knew a little bit.
The house they live in now is not only big, but also in a school district. Won’t the price go up?
"How about we take a look again?"
Xie Sizhu felt pain when he heard the price, "In my opinion, this house is still too big. We can't live in it, and there are many empty rooms left for each person. It's too wasteful."
Xiang Lihua did not back down so quickly.
After she came to her senses, she asked Yaren: "This price can't be lower?"
Yaren smiled: "Madam, this house is in a good location and is so spacious. If the price hadn't been too high, it would have been sold long ago. In fact, if you think the house is too big, you can look at other places. We have many better ones here. As for the house, you are guaranteed to find one you are satisfied with!”
He recommended other houses.
But it's not as close to the academy as the current one.
Not as big as that.
Among them, there is one who can live with a large family, but it is a bit far away from the academy, making it inconvenient for the children at home to study.
"Second brother, what do you think of this?" Xie Sizhu asked.
He thinks this room is nice.
If it's far away from the academy, then let the baby continue to live in the academy. What's the point?
"Huh? Well, I...I think..."
Xie Erzhu hesitated.
In fact, he thinks the house he lives in now is very good. In the past, he could not even imagine a big house, but now his family not only lives in it, but also has the money to buy it.
If only I could live there forever.
Then can he...
Xie Erzhu hesitated, his eyes wandering: "Well... I think it's... okay..."
Since he has not been able to make even the slightest decision since he was a child, Xie Erzhu did not dare to really bring it up even if he had a small idea.
I can only agree with my brother.
Xiang Lihua saw that he had an opinion and said bluntly: "Second brother, we are all members of the same family. If you have anything to say, just say it! Dad is not an old lady, so he won't point his nose and scold!"
That's true.
At the reminder of his sister-in-law, Xie Erzhu rubbed his hands and mustered up his courage: "That's it...that...that..."
He couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xie Erzhu himself was anxious.
I lowered my head and started sweating.
"Dad, don't be impatient. Speak slowly."
Xie Xiaocao was also pulled out by Xie Lingjiao to look at the house.
Seeing that her father was anxious, she quickly stepped forward to give him some water to wipe his sweat, and told him not to be anxious. Under the comfort of his daughter, Xie Erzhu slowly recovered.
After calming down, he felt a little timid again.
I thought I might as well just forget it.
Just listen to what your brother and sister-in-law say.
"Second brother, just say what you want to say."
The old man understands his son very well.
Being beaten and scolded by Lu Qiuye all year round to vent his anger, it was normal for him not to dare to express his own opinions for a while. He didn't rush his son, he just said: "As the third family said, we are all one family, there is nothing we can't say."
Xie Erzhu is used to obeying.
I used to listen to my mother, but now that I'm with my father, I just listen to my father.
Hear the words.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Finally, he looked up at everyone and said in a low voice: "I... I think this house is good now. The house is wide and spacious. If in the future... in the future... I can also recruit Sanya and Qiya..."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
Because I always feel that if I say this, I will be scolded, and maybe even beaten.
But no one scolded him after he actually said it.
Now the most aggressive sister-in-law in the family still laughed, "So that's what happened! Second brother, you should have told me earlier!"
"It's not a bad thing to marry a girl!"
Saying this, it reminded her.
Xiang Lihua thought to herself: Should she also find someone to step in for her precious daughter?
In this way, my daughter can stay at home for the rest of her life!
As for the fact that there is a son at home and no one wants to marry him? Never mind him!
The most important thing is that her baby is comfortable!
Thinking of this, Xiang Lihua also fell in love with the suite she lived in now.
"I feel good too!"
She said to her husband: "I think the room here is a bit small. We can also open up the room next to Jiaobao in the one we live in now to make it more spacious for our daughter! And Xiaoqi and the others can also have a room. Study!”
That's true.
Xie Sizhu was easily convinced.
Nod and agree to buy the house.
"But the price is a bit expensive now." Xiang Lihua felt that the price of 1,500 yuan could be discussed further.
Kill lower.
After talking to her family, they all agreed to let her negotiate the price.
But no one can do this except her.
"Ahem, let me say it first!" Xiang Lihua was shrewd, and even though she thought it was impossible, she still brought it up, "This is my first time to buy such an expensive thing, and I don't know how much money it can cost!"
"Since you have given this matter to me, no matter whether you think this house is too expensive or whatever, just keep it to yourself!"
"Don't say it in hindsight and say it could have been cheaper or what the heck, I don't want to hear it to Lihua!"
Worry that verbal assurances won’t work.
He also asked his son to write a deed and asked his brother and sister-in-law to take their fingerprints.
This is a bit unexpected.
Xie Sizhu was a little embarrassed. But in his heart, his children come first, so he won't stop her from doing anything.
In this regard, the second-fang couple had no objection.
They had never bought anything in all their life. They thought that one thousand and five dollars meant one thousand and five dollars, but they didn't expect that they could bargain at a lower price.
This is an unexpected surprise.
And the request from my sister-in-law is nothing, just a fingerprint.
The couple readily agreed.
I blew the paper, folded it after the ink was dry and put it in my clothes. Xiang Lihua arranged her hair and went to the tooth shop with her head held high.
In the end, she bought the house for one thousand two hundred and ten taels.
I saved nearly three hundred taels of silver, which is a huge achievement!
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear."
Everyone in the family admired Xiang Lihua, and Xie Sizhu even brought tea and water, pinched her shoulders and beat her legs, so attentive that no one else could even notice.
