Chapter 14 The house was sold successfully and I made another profit
The next morning, Song Cenyue went to the factory with the two people who bought her father and stepmother's jobs to handle the formalities. Everything went smoothly and the jobs were successfully transferred to the two people.
After completing the formalities, Song Cenyue went to arrange the sale of the house and spread the news of the sale in the staff quarters.
Soon, someone came to the door.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Song Cenyue went to open the door and asked, "Who is it?"
“To buy a house.”
Hearing this, a glimmer of joy flashed in Song Cenyue's eyes. She didn't expect that someone would come to buy the house so soon. She wondered if it was Wu Dafeng's relative?
Before, she thought that Wu Dafeng’s relatives wanted to buy a house, so she spread the news that she was going to sell it, and Wu Dafeng would bring her relatives to buy it.
After Song Cenyue opened the door, she found that she had guessed wrong. The person standing outside the door was an old lady with gray hair. It was Old Lady Shi who lived on the first floor. She did not see Jiang Dafeng.
"Grandma Shi, are you going to buy a house? Come in and sit down." Song Cenyue politely invited her into the house.
"I heard someone say that you wanted to sell the house. It just so happens that my son is getting married, and our house is too small, and it will be difficult for the new daughter-in-law to live in. My husband and I have discussed buying him a house for him and his wife to live in. I came to ask you how you want to sell this house." Old Mrs. Shi said as she looked around and walked around the house.
Song Cenyue didn't mind seeing Old Lady Shi looking around and walking around the house. If someone wants to buy a house, they will definitely take a good look at the house and take a close look at every corner of the house.
"I'm selling this house for 500... Look how nice this house is. The orientation and the light are great... There are enough rooms. If your son and daughter-in-law have two or three children in the future, they won't have to worry about having a place to live... Come on, I'll take you to have a good look. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Song Cenyue raised her hand and made a five, praised her own house a lot, and enthusiastically took Old Lady Shi to show every corner of the house.
She hoped that Mrs. Shi would be willing to buy the house and that the deal could be done as soon as possible so that she wouldn't have to wait for the next buyer.
She had to sell the house quickly because she had a lot of things to do and didn't have much time and energy to spend on selling the house.
"The house is nice, bigger than mine, but five hundred dollars is too expensive. How about a cheaper price of four hundred dollars? If you agree, I'll ask my old man to get the money, and I'll buy the house from you today."
After looking at every place carefully, Old Lady Shi nodded with a satisfied look on her face, but what she said made Song Cenyue not very satisfied.
Only four hundred yuan, a full hundred yuan less. This old lady Shi was too harsh in bargaining.
"No, four hundred yuan is too little. I won't sell it for less than five hundred yuan." Song Cenyue shook her head at Old Lady Shi.
Old Lady Shi frowned slightly, "Xiao Song, although your house is nice, five hundred yuan is really expensive. If you can lower the price, I'll add a little more... How about I give you another twenty yuan, four hundred and twenty yuan, and you agree to sell it!"
Song Cenyue was still not satisfied and shook her head again, "Four hundred and twenty yuan is still too little..."
"Four hundred and twenty yuan is not a small amount! Xiao Song, I heard that you are going to the countryside. I have a cousin's granddaughter who is also going to the countryside. I heard her say that she will be going to the countryside in a few days. You insist on asking for such a high price of five hundred yuan. I am afraid that no one will be able to afford this price in a short period of time. You can only put this house there. If you can't sell it even when you go to the countryside, what will you do then?"
You don't know when you will be able to come back after you go to the countryside. Your house has been empty all the time, and you can't get a penny. What a waste, what a pity. You might as well sell it to me for 420 yuan. 420 yuan is a lot of money, enough for you to eat and drink well in the countryside and live a good life. "Old Lady Shi frowned again and advised earnestly. She thought that if she said this, Song Cenyue would listen to her and agree to sell it to her for 420 yuan.
Unfortunately, Song Cenyue didn't buy her trick. "Grandma Shi, what you said makes sense. I should have listened to you... It seems that I should sell the house to the person who came to see it before you."
Hearing this, Old Lady Shi showed a somewhat surprised expression and shouted, "Someone else came to see the house before me?"
"Well, the other party just left. After he saw my house, he also liked it very much and was very satisfied. He wanted to buy it, but he was only willing to pay 490 yuan. I wanted 500 yuan, so the deal didn't go through... He asked me to think about it and he would come again in the evening. If I was willing to sell it for 490 yuan, he would buy it.
I was determined to sell it for 500 yuan, but after listening to your words, I think I should take a loss and ask for 10 yuan less, so I will sell it to him for 490 yuan."
"..." Old Mrs. Shi was a little confused. She had never expected this to happen. She thought to herself, "Oh no! I'm actually making wedding dresses for someone else."
Old Mrs. Shi was annoyed and anxious. She had to find a way to stop this girl from selling the house to someone else. She was very satisfied and liked this house. It was much better than her own house and she wanted to live there after seeing it.
She also thought that after buying the house, she and her husband would move here with the second and third sons, and give the old house on the first floor where they were currently living to the eldest son to get married, so that the eldest son could live there with his new wife after marriage.
There is no reason why you would not live in a nice house and enjoy it yourself, but give it to your daughter-in-law to live in and enjoy.
But I didn't expect this girl to actually sell the house to someone else. Damn it, it makes me so angry...
Anxious! She was anxious! Haha... Song Cenyue knew what Old Lady Shi was thinking when she saw her expression, and laughed in her heart.
This "provocation" method is indeed effective.
"Grandma Shi, go look at other houses. Maybe there will be some good ones that are willing to sell for 420 yuan, but they are definitely not as good as mine, and they can't be in this family compound...Except for my family, I haven't heard of anyone else in this family compound who wants to sell. What a pity...
It would be best if your son could live in a family compound after getting married. You can be close to each other and take care of each other. It would also be convenient for you to visit your son and daughter-in-law, and it would also be convenient for them to visit you." Song Cenyue said deliberately.
Song Cenyue's last words touched Mrs. Shi's heart. She wanted to buy a house in the family courtyard so that she could live close to her eldest son's family so that they could take care of each other. It would be like living together and they could see each other anytime, making it convenient for them to visit each other.
"Don't sell the house to others, I want this house!" Old Mrs. Shi shouted anxiously.
Song Cenyue's eyes flashed with joy, but she deliberately showed an embarrassed expression on her face, "But the price you gave is too low..."
"I'll give you more money, four hundred and ninety yuan! Didn't you say you were willing to sell it to the person who came to see the house before me for four hundred and ninety yuan? I'll also give you four hundred and ninety yuan, just sell the house to me." Old Mrs. Shi gritted her teeth and shouted.
I can't let anyone else buy this house, so I have no choice but to add another seventy dollars.
Afraid that Song Cenyue would not agree to sell, Old Lady Shi pulled her hand, showing a loving expression, and said affectionately: "Xiaoyue, just sell the house to me. That person gave 490 yuan, and I will give 490 yuan too. It's the same, but I watched you grow up, and I'm an old neighbor of this family compound...
My wife and your father work in the same factory, so they know each other well. It’s better to sell the house to someone who knows each other well, so as to avoid being cheated.”
Done! Song Cenyue raised the corners of her lips, nodded and smiled: "Yes, Grandma Shi, you are right, then it is better for me to sell this house to you, then, you bring the money, and I will sell the house to you."
With a little trick, the house was successfully sold. Although it was ten dollars less than the five hundred she wanted, ten dollars is not a lot, so it's okay.
The important thing is that the house was sold quickly and successfully, which put my mind at ease and I can now focus on other things.
"Okay, okay, I'll go get the money right away, you wait for me." Old Mrs. Shi smiled and nodded vigorously, then left the Song family to get the money.
