Chapter 149 Borrowing Money
After Chen Yun told her husband about buying a house in the county that day, Xu Zhilin became interested and told everyone in the work unit to ask them to help inquire.
Soon Xiao Wang from the work unit told him the news that his cousin-in-law's second aunt had a house that he wanted to sell.
The house is in a pretty good location, not far from Sibei County No. 1 Middle School. It is in an alley. It has a brick house with no yard, but there is an open space in front of the door.
The price they asked was over 700, and they said they could still negotiate.
These days, there are few people selling houses and few buying houses. It is a rare thing that someone wants to sell a house just when they want to buy it.
When Xu Zhilin returned home, he told Chen Yunyi that Chen Yun could not wait to see the house.
After Xu Zhilin made an agreement with someone, the two of them rode to the county town to look at houses early this morning.
The house is quite neat, with a main room in the middle and four rooms on both sides. Two of the upper rooms have wooden floors, and the rest have mud floors.
Chen Yun looked at the doors and windows of their house. The doors and windows of the upper room were all carved with patterns. They must have been a wealthy family in the past.
After asking carefully, I found out that their family had no choice but to sell the house. The man in the family was ill and needed a large sum of money to go to the provincial capital for surgery.
Chen Yun negotiated the price with them to 680, and agreed to come back to get the money and go to the county to pay the money tomorrow.
Chen Yun was not very happy when he saw Su Qian when he came home. But when he saw the chicken was still stewed on the stove, the fire in his heart started to rise.
Is this eaten while they are not at home?
This is too much!
Chen Yun stared at the chicken on the stove. Just as he was about to say something, he swallowed it in one gulp.
She can't argue over such a trivial matter now. Buying a house is a big deal and she has to coax the old lady to take out the money. It's not worth arguing now.
Chen Yun's face changed again and again, and finally he managed to force out a smile, "Oh, it's such a coincidence that we are back, we are so lucky."
The old lady glanced at Chen Yun, took in her expression, and said calmly: "You left early in the morning without saying where you were going, or whether you would be back at noon, or cooking your meals."
Xu Zhilin smiled apologetically behind Chen Yun: "I'll cook it, I'll cook it, it's very fast, it'll be cooked in a while."
Chen Yun came over, took the old lady's hand affectionately, and led the old lady outside the kitchen house, "Mom, come here, I want to tell you something."
Seeing Susie here, she felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. No minute or second was equal, and she had to settle the matter as quickly as possible.
The old lady remained calm and followed Chen Yun out of the kitchen. The two of them arrived in the main room. Chen Yun couldn't wait to say: "Mom, Zhilin and I went to the county town today to look at houses."
The old lady said "oh" very cooperatively.
With just this sentence, she knew what Chen Yun was planning. He was trying to get her money in different ways!
Chen Yun continued: "That's what happened. Isn't Xu Hang studying in high school in the county? I heard that the food in their school is very bad and the accommodation conditions are also poor. I just want to buy a house in the county for Xu Hang to live in. I
When you have nothing to do, you can go over and cook for Xu Hang."
"Xu Jian will also go to high school in the future, and he will come in handy then."
The old lady was amused. Is it safer for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child to live in a school dormitory, or to live alone outside?
The old lady didn't bother to say anything because she knew it wasn't the point. She said perfunctorily: "That's a good idea."
Chen Yun got more and more excited when he received the encouragement from the old lady, "Xu Zhilin and I looked at the house. There are many rooms. There are four rooms. Even if your parents go to the county town, you can still live in it."
The old lady continued to nod, "That's good."
Chen Yun looked at the old lady's face and said, "Since Mom agrees, let's buy a house tomorrow."
The old lady stood up and said, "Buy it, it's very good."
Seeing the old lady raising her foot to go out, Chen Yun quickly said: "Mom, we are buying a house, but we still have a little money, so I want to ask you to borrow some."
The old lady laughed, wondering why Chen Yun had taken so many detours, but finally got to the point.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, borrow money? How much do you want to borrow?"
Chen Yundao: "Eight hundred!"
Although the house is only 680, but if she can borrow it, she will definitely borrow more, keep more money with her, and feel at ease.
The old lady looked at Chen Yun and asked, "How much does the house cost in total?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "The house costs more than 900 yuan, and I only have more than 100 yuan in hand, so I want to borrow 800 yuan from you."
The old lady said calmly, "Oh, the price is too expensive."
"By the way, I bought this house, whose name is written on the deed?" The old lady still thinks in the old society and calls the house deed.
Chen Yundao: "Do you think it's okay to write your grandson Xu Hang's name?"
The old lady laughed and said, "That's no good. This house was given to Xu Hang. What will Xu Jian do in the future? This is unfair."
"I think I can buy a house for Xu Jian too."
Chen Yun was overjoyed, "That's okay, as long as you have money, we can find another house."
She then flattered her, "Mom still has the foresight!"
The smile on the old lady's face faded, "It's a beautiful thought."
"You want to borrow 800 yuan, but I don't have the money. I can get it for 8 yuan. If it's the difference, why don't you go back to your parents' house and borrow it from your own mother."
Chen Yun's face became a little tense, "Mom, are you kidding me? How could you have no money?"
The old lady said: "How much money can I, an old country woman, have? My family has a lot of expenses and I can't save any money."
"Impossible, you have more than a thousand yuan in your hand! My elder brother sends you money every month, where is the money?" Chen Yun was so excited that his voice changed.
The old lady laughed and said, "The money is spent and gone."
"There are so many people in our family who need to eat and drink, and our family has a good life. Xu Hang and Xu Jian want to study, so nothing is money. This little money is not enough."
After the old lady finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. Chen Yun chased after the old lady and grabbed her. His voice changed in tone, "Mom, you can't open your eyes and tell lies. You can't just throw away so much money."
The old lady's expression changed, she shook Chen Yun's hand away, and raised her voice, "Are you settling a score with me?!"
"Why should I report to you after I spent my money?"
Su Qian heard the old lady's voice in the stove room. It sounded like she was arguing with Chen Yun. She hurriedly came out of the stove room. The old lady was in her sixties after all, and she was afraid that the old lady would suffer a loss.
Old man Xu also heard it. He frowned and walked out and stood at the door of the kitchen house to watch.
Xu Zhilin was washing rice, and he pretended not to hear anything.
Susie came out and quickly stepped forward to help the old lady. Although the old lady was a little angry, it was not to the extent that she needed her support. Susie was expressing her position in this way.
In this family, no matter who has a conflict with the old lady, she will always stand by the old lady.
