Chapter 236: Buying The House
“Hehe, let’s discuss it.”
Without waiting for the two elders to understand, Yun Linhe picked up Yun Jiao and a group of people walked to the other side.
Old Wu: “They protected this house very well, you can buy it.”
Old Mu: “Many pieces of furniture are made of Huanghuali wood, and that thousand-craft step-by-step bed is made of red rosewood. The materials for the house are also sturdy. The market price for those furniture pieces and that thousand-craft step-by-step bed alone is more than twenty thousand.”
The most important thing is that the wood used to make the furniture is precious.
Moreover, looking at the craftsmanship and the age, they can be used as antiques.
The final conclusion was that this house was indeed sold at a low price of fifty thousand yuan.
However, there was one thing Old Mu did not understand.
“They should wait and patiently find a buyer. Those furniture pieces alone could be sold for a lot of money, so why are they in such a hurry?”
Old Wu said: “Why don’t we ask?”
Coughing, they went back.
Old Wu didn’t keep them in suspense and asked directly: “As far as I know, you two comrades are selling this house to join your son. But if you went over there first and asked someone to help sell it, it would only take a little longer. This house and those furniture pieces would definitely sell for a good price. Why the rush? Are you sure there won’t be any trouble after buying this house?”
Old Liu said impatiently: “Buy it if you want, leave if you don’t.”
With this bad temper, he didn’t look like someone who wanted to sell his house.
However, the old woman beside him held his hand and said calmly.
“My son and daughter-in-law urgently need money over there.”
She sat gracefully on the stone stool.
Her gaze towards the house was filled with reluctance and regret.
“This house is our family’s last property. We don’t have many relatives here anymore, and we don’t feel at ease entrusting it to anyone. Our son is studying abroad. Although he hasn’t said it, we can hear the fatigue in his voice and know that he is living a very tiring life over there.”
“We old folks don’t know how much time we have left. He is our last child. In this final period, we want to spend more time with him. The money from selling the house will be used to alleviate his financial pressure.”
The old man looked into the distance, his voice flat and tinged with a hint of sadness: “My wife and I had two daughters and three sons, but none of them survived. However, because of them, and because we gave away our family fortune to help the right people at that time, our property and everything in it were preserved intact during that special period.”
Although she didn’t say it directly, at this moment, anyone with a little thought could guess that their children might have been martyrs, or at least one of them, and that those they helped with their fortune were important.
At this moment, Old Wu, Old Mu, and Grandpa Yun deeply respected this couple.
“You…” Everyone didn’t know what words of comfort to use.
Five children, four dead, that was too tragic.
Old Man Liu was silently depressed, while the old woman smiled gently at them.
“I’ve said too much, don’t think I’m just trying to gain sympathy. For this price, I just hope the buyer of this house will treat it well, as well as those old objects.”
“We’ll buy this house.”
Granny Yun made the decision: “It’s very worth it.”
The value of this house and the furniture already exceeded fifty thousand.
Yun Jiao nodded: “Mhmm.”
“Do you want cash?”
The two elders were momentarily stunned, then nodded.
“Anything is fine.”
“Can you wait a few more days? We need to tidy up for a few days before we leave.”
Granny Yun: “Of course, take your time packing. We’re not in a hurry.”
It would still take some time to transfer the ownership and complete the procedures for the house.
Granny Yun asked her two sons and Yun Jiao to go together.
With so many of them, going in such a grand procession would be too conspicuous.
They didn’t haggle at all for the price of fifty thousand.
With the deal settled here, they temporarily didn’t go to the other four-courtyard siheyuan and decided to complete the procedures for this one first.
When filling in the homeowner’s name, Yun Jiao asked her father and mother to do it.
Yun Linhai and Shen Yunlian were initially reluctant, after all, this was their daughter’s house, so why should it be registered under their names.
But they refused, and Yun Jiao didn’t say anything, just looked at them pleadingly.
She looked so pitiful, as if she was about to cry.
“Jiaojiao, why do you insist on registering the house under our names? It’s the same if it’s registered under yours.”
Yun Jiao shook her head: “No.”
She revealed her ambition.
“I want to buy a large island and build a super beautiful large house on it.”
“Hiss…”
This wish was too grand. The Yun family looked at her in shock.
No, are you serious?
Yun Jiao nodded affirmatively under their shocked gaze.
Everyone: ………
Is this a wish that a normal child should have?
In the end, the house was still registered under Yun Linhai and Shen Yunlian’s names.
But the parents were worried.
An island, how much money would that cost.
And building a large house on it…
For their daughter’s grand wish, they would have to work hard in the future and try to earn more money before she grew up.
Although she had said she didn’t want it, when the property deed truly landed in their hands, Yun Linhai and Shen Yunlian’s eyes were red with a dazed and excited emotion.
Their hearts also pounded uncontrollably.
They… had a house in the capital.
It was a large siheyuan.
Such a large house, a house worth tens of thousands.
They were actually going to live in a house worth tens of thousands…
At this moment, these thoughts kept flashing through their minds.
Finally, Yun Linhai couldn’t help himself and hugged Yun Jiao, kissing her chubby little face several times.
“Daughter, Father really… really doesn’t know what to say. Why is my luck so good to be your father? Other families have fathers buying houses for their daughters, but our family… our daughter bought a house for her father, and such a large one, worth tens of thousands. This feeling is like dreaming.”
As he spoke, he pinched himself, and it was a real, hard pinch that made him grimace in pain.
“It’s not a dream!”
This silly behavior made the rest of the family laugh heartily. Shen Yunlian gave him a roll of her eyes.
She scooped Yun Jiao into her arms: “What are you doing? Jiaojiao dislikes your saliva, don’t you know?”
“Hehe, hehe… I’m just too happy.”
Yun Xiaowu was also excited: “Dad, that big house will be ours in the future?”
Yun Linhai: “To be precise, it’s for me, your mother, and Jiaojiao. In the future, you boys will earn your own money to buy houses when you grow up.”
He was willing to support his daughter for life, but as for his sons, he’d rather not.
If they were young and didn’t strive, and dared to freeload, he would kick them out of the house!
Yun Xiaowu and Yun Xiaoliu were not disappointed by these words.
“Then yours is also ours. We’re family, Dad, why are you being so formal?”
Yun Linhai: …You’re really not formal at all!
