Chapter 120 Viewing the House
Zhou Youliang quickly stepped forward and explained his purpose: "Brother Li, we heard you have a house for sale, so we came to take a look."
Li Chengyuan suddenly understood and enthusiastically invited them into the house to discuss in detail.
The Li family's yard is quite spacious and tidy.
Inside the house, Li Chengyuan introduced the situation of the house in detail.
He said: "This house was passed down from my ancestors and has been well maintained. The house is very solid and the yard is spacious, suitable for a family to live in."
Su Panpan and Shen Ru listened attentively and asked questions from time to time.
Li Chengyuan answered all their questions one by one, allowing them to have a deeper understanding of the house.
After listening to Li Chengyuan's introduction, Su Panpan and Shen Ru got up and looked around the house.
The spacious yard has a flat ground and a few flowers and plants planted in the corners, adding a bit of vitality to the entire yard.
The wooden structure of the house looks quite solid, and the doors and windows are exquisitely carved, revealing the charm of time.
They walked into the rooms, which were well-lit and ventilated.
As Su Panpan looked around, she was thinking about how to arrange the rooms if a family lived here.
Shen Ru noticed some details, such as whether there were signs of leaks on the roof, whether there were cracks in the walls, etc.
At this time, Li Chengyuan followed them. He looked to be about forty years old, with a thin face and a shrewd and steady look in his eyes. He raised his chin slightly, his expression full of pride in his own house.
After checking the house, Su Panpan and Shen Ru returned to the house and continued talking with Li Chengyuan.
Su Panpan asked, "Brother Li, how much does this house cost?"
Li Chengyuan thought for a moment and said, "After all, this house was passed down from our ancestors, and I don't want to sell it cheaply. But I see that you two really want to buy it, so I'll give you a reasonable price."
He named a price, and Su Panpan and Shen Ru looked at each other and began to weigh the pros and cons in their minds.
Shen Ru said softly, "This price seems a bit high. Can Brother Li make it a little cheaper?"
Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "This price is already very fair. My house is well planned, the house is solid, and it has been well maintained. It is definitely worth the price."
The two sides fell into a brief stalemate.
At this time, Zhou Youliang, who had been following him, spoke up: "Brother Li, you see these two girls really want to buy it. They're not having a easy time either. Can you please lower the price a little bit?"
Gao Qinqin, who was standing by, also echoed, "Yes, Brother Li, we are all neighbors, so please be kind."
Erniu also said honestly: "Uncle Li, just think about it."
Li Chengyuan frowned, a little hesitant.
Su Panpan actually had her own considerations in mind. She was rich now and had a certain amount of savings from her business, so price was not a problem.
But she felt that although the interior of the house was nice, its overall location was still a bit remote.
In the future, if we have business dealings, it will not be very convenient for guests to visit us.
Moreover, the surrounding supporting facilities are not very complete, and children may encounter many inconveniences in studying, purchasing goods by themselves, etc.
Furthermore, she was also worried that after buying the house, there might be some hidden problems that would require more money to solve.
Su Panpan said, "Brother Li, we understand the value of this house, but we have limited funds. How about this, we think about it and give you an answer in a couple of days?"
Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "Okay, you guys think about it carefully. I also hope that this house can find a good owner."
Su Panpan and Shen Ru said goodbye to Li Chengyuan and walked out of the Li family yard.
They all got on Erniu's ox cart, their minds full of thoughts as they discussed the house they had just seen.
Under Zhou Youliang's guidance, they strolled around the town and inquired about several houses that were for sale.
They first came to Zhao Dafu's house.
I heard that Zhao Dafu was going to sell his house because he was moving his family to another place.
Zhao Dafu's house looks quite grand from the outside, with a tall gate and neatly-made walls.
Su Panpan and Shen Ru walked into the yard, and Zhou Youliang, Gao Qinqin and Erniu followed them and looked around.
Zhou Youliang spoke first, "This house looks quite grand." Gao Qinqin nodded in agreement, "Yes, but why is the yard a bit messy?"
Zhao Dafu smiled embarrassedly: "I'm in a hurry to leave, so I haven't had time to pack up yet."
Su Panpan looked at the uneven ground and frowned. "Brother Zhao, the ground in this yard is uneven. The children will easily fall when they play. And the layout of this house feels a bit cramped. So, Brother Zhao, how much do you want to sell this house for?"
Zhao Dafu held up a finger and said, "One hundred taels of silver."
Zhou Youliang exclaimed, "It's so expensive!" Gao Qinqin also said, "Brother Zhao, this price is a bit high."
Zhao Dafu quickly explained, "This house is so grand, and the location is great too. One hundred taels isn't expensive. As for the layout of the house, you'll get used to it after living here for a while."
Shen Ru continued, "Brother Zhao, let's think about it again. After all, buying a house is a big deal."
Zhao Dafu nodded helplessly: "Okay, you guys think about it carefully."
Then, they heard that Grandma Sun’s house was for sale.
Grandma Sun's husband passed away, and because she was old, her only son lived far away. He was worried that she would not be able to live well alone, so he sent a message a month ago that he would take her away, so she decided to sell the ancestral home.
Grandma Sun’s house is rather simple and has a traditional architectural style.
There are some old trees planted in the yard, giving people a sense of tranquility.
When everyone arrived at Grandma Sun's yard, Erniu exclaimed, "This yard looks so comfortable."
Gao Qinqin also said: "Yes, these old trees are very old."
After a careful inspection, Su Panpan found that the roof of the house was a bit dilapidated and seemed to be leaking.
She said to Granny Sun, "Granny Sun, there seems to be something wrong with the roof of your house. Also, it's relatively remote, with few shops nearby, so it's inconvenient to buy goods. So, Granny Sun, how much do you want for this house?"
Granny Sun said slowly, "Eighty taels of silver."
Zhou Youliang muttered, "This roof needs repairing. It's in a remote location, and the price is not cheap."
Shen Ru pulled the corner of Su Panpan's clothes: "Panpan, this is indeed not very convenient."
Su Panpan nodded and said to Grandma Sun, "Grandma Sun, we need to think about it again." Grandma Sun expressed her understanding.
They went to see the house of Manager Qian again.
Manager Qian's business failed and he was in urgent need of cash flow, so he wanted to sell his house.
The house of Shopkeeper Qian is luxuriously decorated, with all kinds of exquisite decorations.
As soon as everyone entered the courtyard, Zhou Youliang exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly luxurious."
Gao Qinqin's eyes widened as well: "It's like a wealthy family."
