The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again
Chapter 397: The Middle Man Xiaomao
Several people followed Xiao Mao into a luxurious house.
Cheng Zeli was extremely satisfied the first time he saw the house.
The house is very well maintained and it seems that the owner takes good care of it.
The whole house is very large, with a strict central axis symmetry forming three-way and multi-entry courtyards.
The layout is neat and orderly.
Pavilions, towers, flying eaves and green tiles, crisscross and winding.
It is refined and elegant, yet majestic.
Walk through the small hallway at the second door and onto the winding corridor.
The view before your eyes suddenly opens up to you, with carved beams and painted buildings, and exotic flowers and plants.
There is also a winding stream that meanders under the corridor, pouring into a small pond surrounded by strange rocks from deep among the flowers and trees.
It is like a fairyland, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
It was March, the warmest time of the year, and the air was filled with fragrance.
Looking around, in the huge house, there are lush flowers and trees, winding paths, and flowers all along the way competing for beauty.
The sun is shining brightly, the wind is blowing gently, and the laden loquat trees are loaded with yellow loquats.
The breeze blows gently, the bamboo curtains flutter, and the white screen shines.
Just by looking at the house, you can tell that its owner must be a person who loves elegance and has a noble character.
“The owner of this house was once an imperial merchant, and this house is also one of his ancestral properties.
But his generation only liked to write and was not good at business, which led to the decline of his family.
Now, they have fallen to the point of selling off their ancestral property and robbing Peter to pay Paul.”
Xiao Mao saw his confusion and took the initiative to answer it.
"I see. This house is nice. I wonder how much it's going to cost. If it's suitable, I won't look at any other houses. This is it."
With such a beautiful house in front of you, how could you ever look down on any other house?
Besides, the last thing he lacks now is money, but he is not a sucker either. As long as the price is right, he plans to buy it.
"Eighty thousand taels. I won't sell it for one tael less."
Xiao Mao looked at Cheng Zeli's expression carefully. He realized that among these four people, he was the one who could make the decision.
Seeing Cheng Zeli frowning, he hurriedly explained: "These are the original words of the landlord, and I also think that his price is a bit high.
Because of the high price, many people came to see the house, but they were all scared away by the price.
If you feel that this price is unacceptable, it’s okay, I will take you to see something else.”
"Eighty thousand taels is eighty thousand taels. I'll buy it!"
Although the price was a little higher than he expected, it was not a loss to be able to buy such a big and beautiful house in Kyoto where every inch of land is valuable.
Moreover, all the furniture in the house was given as gifts, and each set of furniture was made of the finest wood.
Just those few thousand-craftsmanship beds made of top-quality golden nanmu wood are worth a lot of money.
The house was also cleaned spotlessly, and after the house was transferred to them, they just had to move in with their bags.
"Xiao Mao, why are you in a daze? Didn't you hear our master say he wanted to buy this house?"
When Cheng Si saw that Cheng Zeli had taken out all the banknotes, but Xiao Mao was just dazed and stupid, like a wooden man, unable to utter a word, he couldn't help but poke him.
"Ah, buy...buy? You said you wanted to buy this house?"
After Cheng Si's reminder, Xiao Mao seemed to wake up from a dream. He jumped up happily, his eyes shining like a ball of sparks.
"Well, eighty thousand taels, count it, buy it now, can you move in today?"
Cheng Zeli took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to him.
"Yes, you can live here. You can live here now. The original owner of the house said that as long as you get 80,000 taels, the house will be sold immediately.
He has handed over all matters concerning the house to us. We just need to go to the government office to handle the transfer and change the name on the title deed to your current surname.
Just leave these things to me, and they will be done this afternoon. You just need to wait for me in the house."
Holding the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, Xiao Mao's wildly beating heart suddenly settled down.
He was surprised and happy, and wished he had wings so he could rush to the government office and transfer the house to Cheng Zeli's name.
"Well, then go and get this done now. Use the money to bribe the people in the government office, and the rest will be yours."
Cheng Zeli took out another three hundred taels of silver and handed it to him.
Xiao Mao moved his lips, but the words of rejection were about to come out of his mouth when he swallowed them back.
Finally, he simply bowed deeply to Cheng Zeli before running out with the banknotes and house deeds.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Cheng Zeli's voice came from behind, and Xiao Mao's heart almost jumped out.
He turned around with difficulty, jogged back, and forced a smile.
"Master Cheng, do you have anything else to tell me?"
He kept praying in his heart, praying that he didn't regret it.
"I forgot to remind you just now that you should not put my name on the title deed. The house should be registered in my daughter's name."
So that's what happened. Xiao Mao breathed a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.
While feeling fortunate, I was also very envious of the little girl named Cheng Xingwan.
She is so lucky. At such a young age, she owns a house that others could not afford even if they worked hard for several lifetimes.
And he has a father with a promising future.
Her future is full of infinite beauty.
Unlike him, who was born in the mud.
Now we are struggling in the mire, living a life where the end is foreseeable at a glance.
Although he was envious, he did not feel sorry for himself. Instead, he quickly cheered up and got down to work on the task at hand.
He kept his head down throughout the whole process, which made people think that he was frustrated at work. Not only did he not make any money today, but he also got scolded.
Everybody wanted to be as far away from him as possible.
Xiao Mao grew up on this street, and almost everyone on the street knows him.
Everyone knows that he has a consumptive mother.
Since Xiaomao was five or six years old, she had been bedridden all day long. The mother and son relied on Xiaomao to go outside to rummage through the slop buckets and pick up the leftovers of others to barely survive.
As Xiao Mao grew up, his mother's illness became more and more serious.
Almost everyone on the street who was related to him had borrowed money from him.
Everyone was afraid that the mother and son could not pay back the loan, so few people were willing to lend them money.
We are neighbors, we see each other every day. If I don’t lend you money, I can’t bear the relationship. If I lend you money, I’m afraid that it will be a waste of time and I won’t get it back.
For this reason, when they saw Xiao Mao, they would try to hide from him, and if they really couldn't hide from him, they would just pretend not to see him.
After many times, Xiao Mao understood what they meant. Although he had a hard life since childhood, he was a very strong-willed person. From then on, even when his family was short of money, he never complained to them again.
Because of this, he finally found a job in a dental clinic. He cherished this opportunity very much so that he could open an order as soon as possible.
He works harder than anyone else in private.
Basically, he is familiar with every street and alley, and he knows the stories behind every house by heart.
It was because of his hard work and persistence that he finally met his benefactor Cheng Zeli.
In the yamen, he was extremely excited and solemnly took the house deed from the chief clerk's hand, and saw clearly that Cheng Xingwan's name was written on it.
Joy flooded his heart like a tide and his eyes were red with excitement.
"Look at you, you didn't buy the house, why do you have to look like that?"
The chief clerk received a bribe of 100 taels from Xiao Mao and was very enthusiastic about what he was going to do. Seeing that Xiao Mao's eyes were red and tears were about to fall, the chief clerk could not help but teasing him.
"Excuse me, sir, but I was just so excited that I finally sold a house on my own.
You are right, I shouldn't be so useless, I will sell more houses in the future."
Xiao Mao wiped away his tears with his sleeves, smiled and bowed to the chief clerk.
"It's best if you think this way. I'm waiting for you to sell more houses and help you transfer the ownership."
After Xiao Mao thanked him, he rushed out of the county government office.
After walking out of the county government office, he realized that today's sunshine was exceptionally warm, and the spring breeze felt particularly comfortable on his body.
What the clerk didn't know was that he was not crying just because the house was sold.
But it was because he finally had money to save his mother.
After the order is completed, the brokerage firm will charge a 2% commission from the total transaction amount.
Two percent of eighty thousand taels is one thousand six hundred taels.
Of the 1,600 taels, the pawnbroker took half and the remaining half belonged to him.
In other words, he could earn 800 taels of commission, plus the 300 taels that Cheng Zeli gave him for arranging relationships, and he gave 100 taels to the chief clerk, so he had 200 taels left.
All together, he had one thousand taels.
One thousand taels. For him, who only had ten cents left, this was something he had never dared to dream of before.
On the way back, he was crying and laughing, which made people avoid him like the plague, thinking that he was having a seizure like his mother.
