Chapter 166 Bargaining
Rent out the house...
Jiang Anning had never thought about this before.
When I first came, I didn’t expect it.
Secondly, she felt that home was a very private place. If it was the kind of house she had never lived in before, she would rent it out.
She has lived like this for a long time...
Jiang Anning paused for a moment, putting aside her past life and returning from rebirth. It seemed that she had not lived here for long.
No matter how much memory and time you have, they are all from the past life.
Just...
"Brother Guicheng really wants to rent my room?"
She pursed her lips: "Brother Guicheng should also know that since my parents passed away, many so-called relatives of mine have come to my house and looted my house."
"In the past few years, although I have managed to save some family property with my own hands, it is difficult for anyone to guarantee whether those people from the past will come knocking on my door again..."
Jiang Anning looked at Jiang Guicheng: "If Brother Guicheng rents my house, it's hard to say whether those people will knock on the door one day and harass him."
Hearing this, Jiang Guicheng showed hesitation as expected.
Even Sui Ran came over, with a hint of disapproval on his face.
Even Aunt Fang, who had always been very supportive of Jiang Anning, was silent at this time.
Back then...
How viciously those people broke into Jiang Anning's home, and how harshly they warned them not to meddle in their own business.
Aunt Fang and the others were there for all to see.
Only eight years have passed since the incident. Recalling the scene at that time, several people will inevitably have lingering fears.
Jiang Anning smiled and felt that their reaction was actually quite normal.
People live their whole lives looking for stability. Who would want to get into some vicious lawsuits for no reason, disturbing their peace of mind?
"What Brother Guicheng said today, I only take it as..."
Before he heard a few words and before he had time to say them, Jiang Guicheng seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a firm voice: "I'm not afraid!"
Then he fell down and said with a bit of flattery: "Of course, it would be better if Sister An Ning could give me a discount on the rent."
Jiang Anning was surprised.
She didn't expect that Jiang Guicheng would still insist on renting her house after she had already talked about it.
She moved her eyes slightly and looked at Sui Ran.
Renting a house is not a trivial matter after all, and it is not easy for a husband and wife to have disagreements and cause conflicts.
She looked at Sui Ran and asked for his opinion with her eyes.
Sui Ran was still in a daze and had not come back to his senses.
It wasn't until she heard Jiang Anning calling her that she said "Ah" in surprise, turned around and looked at Jiang Anning blankly.
"What do you think, Sister-in-law Guicheng? Like Brother Guicheng, do you want to rent my house?"
Jiang Anning asked Sui Ran's opinion seriously.
Jiang Guicheng also turned his head to look at his wife, intent on persuading her and telling her more about the benefits of renting Jiang Anning's home.
Sui Ran had come to his senses and smiled calmly: "If you are willing to be An Ning, then of course it will be good."
After saying that, she walked over and took Aunt Fang's hand: "From now on, Aunt Fang and I will be neighbors!"
How could she not be willing to move out and build her own little home?
Even though they live in the village, they will inevitably run into that large family, and they may even become the talk of others after dinner. They are really making money, and they can't live in their own house and run away. Rent in someone else's home.
But what does this matter?
After all, behind closed doors, they, as a small family, live their own lives!
"An Ning, look, how much does it cost to rent it to us?"
Sui Ran's expression was a little tangled: "Your house is such a good one, and it also comes with such a big yard. The vegetable field behind it is almost half an acre. I can't let you suffer."
"But my small business with you, Brother Guicheng, has just started, and we are not very wealthy yet."
She wanted to negotiate the price with someone, but was a little embarrassed to say it.
After all, An Ning has helped them a lot.
Jiang Guicheng also looked at Jiang Anning nervously, worried that the price was too expensive and they would not be able to afford it.
But he couldn't let Jiang Anning suffer and rent the house to them for free.
Jiang Anning was really distressed.
She really had no experience, so after struggling for a while, she came up with a figure that was more acceptable to her: "How about five hundred coins a month?"
Although the house is in good repair, it is also spacious and spacious.
As Jiang Guicheng said, he also has such a big yard. The space just for growing vegetables is half an acre of land.
Not to mention, there is a very large pigsty built in the backyard. Even if you catch ten new year pigs and raise them, it will still be successful.
There are also chicken coops...
Although Jiang Anning doesn't keep these things, when building a house, she makes sure to have everything.
But after all, this house is in the village.
Naturally, it is not as good as the houses in the town or even the county. Every inch of land is very valuable and can command a high price.
Five hundred coins, she felt, was more in line with her psychological expectations.
I just don’t know if Sui Ran and Jiang Guicheng can accept it.
"Five hundred coins?"
Not to mention Sui Ran and Jiang Guicheng, even Aunt Fang next to them was a little shocked by the price.
Jiang Anning asked nervously: "Is it too expensive? How about...three hundred yuan?"
She thought about it carefully and realized that renting out the house was not her purpose. What she wanted most was actually just having someone look after the house for her.
If Sui Ran and Jiang Guicheng were willing to spend money to rent her house, no matter what the purpose was, they would be able to help her take care of the house.
Listen to Jiang Guicheng's intention, she wants to use the vegetable plot in her backyard as well!
This is a good thing!
Usually, she doesn't actually farm much, and just grows whatever she likes in the vegetable garden.
Very few of them take good care of themselves, and most of them look very bad.
Even the apricot tree she particularly liked was left alone by her and could not bear many apricots.
It's not like other people's apricot trees, which are full of fruit every year and the branches are bent down.
If Jiang Guicheng and Sui Ran could take care of the back garden after moving in, it would not be a waste of this place.
It was better than when she came to plant, the grass was sparse with bean sprouts and the yard was full of weeds.
Not only does it take a lot of effort to weed every time, but you also have to sprinkle a lot of realgar in the backyard to prevent snakes from hiding in it. If snakes crawl into the house or the kang again, without anyone knowing...< br>
Just thinking about it made Jiang Anning feel goosebumps all over her body.
However, three hundred yuan was the lowest price she could accept. Any lower...
It's better to let Sui Ran and Jiang Guicheng live in vain and gain some favors.
Jiang Anning looked at the three people who still looked shocked, and became even more confused.
I was just thinking about saying, ‘Why don’t we just stop talking about money? When talking about money hurts feelings, Sui Ran was the first to recover from the shock and was so moved: "An Ning..."
Immediately afterwards, she said resolutely: "No, this is absolutely not possible. An Ning, your brother Guicheng and I, there is no way we can let you suffer this big loss!"
"We really can't afford too much rich money now."
"For the time being, for the time being, we will pay you the rent of 800 cash per month!"
Sui Ran made a decision directly: "When we slow down and make more profits, we will raise the price. At that time, we will also make up for all the rent that we paid less before!"
"Huh?"
Jiang Anning was stunned.
She was stunned for a while before she finally understood what Sui Ran meant.
It turns out that you don’t feel that five hundred articles is too much, but that you feel that it is too little?
"Yes, sister An Ning, what I just said was nonsense. You can't take it seriously. Otherwise, brother, I will really be embarrassed to see others!"
Jiang Guicheng even said with an embarrassed look: "You see, your sister-in-law and I have received a lot of care from you. In fact, if it weren't for your help, our business wouldn't be possible at all. You are the two of us." great benefactor, we How can I repay kindness with hatred and continue to suck your blood and gnaw your flesh... You must not take the bastard words I just said seriously. Even if you want to take care of us and give us discounts, you can't give low-level benefits. So many.”
Five hundred articles...
If they just go out and rent an acre of land, the cost will be more than 500 yuan, not to mention there is such a big house.
An Ning is really, really kind.
Jiang Guicheng felt ashamed for a moment. Fortunately, he was even worried just now that he might talk about this matter too hastily and proactively, which would make people think it was profitable, so he took the opportunity to raise the price.
He thought that even if Jiang Anning didn't need one tael of silver a month, he still wanted 800 coins.
Probably even more than that...
After all, Jiang Anning's house, in addition to the house, kitchen, etc., also has a large vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden alone is half an acre in size, not to mention there is a pig pen in the backyard.
This big pigsty is more than enough to raise seven or eight New Year pigs.
Such a house, not to mention one tael of silver, even one tael two, one tael five, is worth it!
It's in their village, so the house can't be rented at a high price.
If this house were to be moved to another location, it would be very expensive.
I don’t even know how big the place is.
Not to mention, in addition to the vegetable garden in the back, Jiang Anning's front yard is also very large and spacious.
It's just that it's not a vegetable garden.
Most of the front yard of Jiang Anning's house was paved with cobblestones or blue bricks, and the rest was used to plant flowers.
There is also a convenient well...
This is the first of its kind in their village!
Neighboring families, including theirs, usually have to fetch water from the well shared by the village if they want water!
I went a little late, so I didn't know how long I would have to wait in line.
When you're not in a hurry, it's okay. It just takes time and effort to get the water back.
But if you are in a hurry, the whole family will have to wait, and if there is no water, you won’t be able to cook!
How can someone like him, who is doing small business, afford to wait?
That doesn't mean you have to go to the village well to fetch water every time it's dark. You have to go to the dark night to fill the water tank.
Otherwise, most of the day's work will be wasted.
Not to mention, they used to live in the same house. He went to fill up the water in the morning. Even if he didn't use much in the morning, when he came back in the evening... he didn't even need to wait until night, he came back at noon and needed water. That water The water in the tank must be kept until it reaches the bottom.
For those people in the family, even if you don’t talk about it at ordinary times, in fact, which family doesn’t have its own little Jiujiu?
There are so many people living under the same roof, sharing the same kitchen, and there is only one water tank in the kitchen... Naturally, they can take advantage of it.
Anyway, during this period of time, people at home have seen him getting up early and working late at night to fetch water. Even if they use up all the water and stop refilling it, he will still refill the water tank because he needs water. , then all of them got lazy and started slipping, being too lazy to fetch water.
In the past, every family took turns fetching water from the water tank at home.
Ever since he started setting up a stall to do business, he had to do the work of fetching water all by himself.
This could be one of the reasons why he wanted to move out and start his own business earlier.
It was precisely because they took it upon themselves to borrow Jiang Anning's kitchen that they realized that cooking in Jiang Anning's house could save so much effort.
Jiang Anning's house has two warehouses of firewood piled up.
Even if they use it three times a day, they can burn it for three to five years without running out.
Not to mention there is such a big pile of firewood outside her house.
It will be more convenient to fetch water and other things.
Since they borrowed Jiang Anning's kitchen, they didn't know how much energy they saved.
I can even sleep more.
Otherwise, he would get up early to fetch water every day before dawn!
When he came back, he could only take a quick nap. After his wife finished her work, it was time to get up and set up a stall.
So Jiang Anning only wanted 500 coins from them, so she didn't want to be too conscientious.
With their consciences, they all suspected that they were evil-hearted.
It's strange that I can't stand people.
Even Aunt Fang couldn't help but persuade: "Logically speaking, I, an outsider, shouldn't talk too much about your family's affairs. I won't ruin the relationship between the three of us. But, An Ning, even if you really want to help, Sui Ran and his wife can't let themselves be wronged like this!"
"If you tell me the price of five hundred cents, I'm afraid the villagers will think you are some kind of taken advantage of, a local rich man, and they will come over to take advantage of you!"
Jiang Anning was stunned, as if she had just come to her senses: "I didn't wrong myself..."
She really felt that the price of five hundred coins was not bad.
Within the scope of what she can accept.
Even three hundred articles is not bad...
Anyway, even if the house is not rented to Sui Ran and Jiang Guicheng, the house will still be empty.
If someone is living in it and it's popular, the house won't deteriorate so quickly.
"Then it's settled!"
Sui Ran waved his hand directly and made a decision: "As mentioned just now, eight hundred coins a month. When our business is better and we have money, we will replenish it for you every month... Well, five hundred Text! ”
"Huh?"
Jiang Anning was stunned and did not recover for a long time.
"No..."
How come the more you bargain, the higher the price becomes?
"This is a good idea. I think it's settled." Jiang Guicheng also echoed his wife's words.
Even Aunt Fang couldn't help but say: "I think this is a good idea. It won't be a loss for you, An Ning, or Sui Ran and her husband."
"That's it!"
"Yes, it's settled!"
