Chapter 427 Buy Buy Buy

In the next few days, Luo Hong took Lin Keyu, Chen Ziqi and others to look at houses.

The money that Liu's father gave to buy the house was all the profits shared by Lin Weizhong. Although it was for the family to have a place to live when they came to the provincial capital, the ownership issue still had to be clarified. Lin Weizhong asked Luo Hong to put the house in the name of Lin Keyu.

Finally, they chose a small two-story house at the very end of East Street. The location was not very good, but it was relatively close to their current academy. In the state capital, one could enter this academy either by paying money or by passing the academic test. It was the academy of choice for people like them.

The original owner bought it more than ten years ago and has participated in the provincial examinations three times. This is the fourth time.

Regardless of whether they succeed this time, they have decided to move back to their hometown, which is in the capital city in the southeast of Zhongzhou. Their family business is also in the capital city. They also did business in the provincial capital, but it just didn't work out.

His son also entered the school and took the examination for students of higher learning this year. He decided to return to his hometown if he failed the exam and devote all his energy to educating his son while honestly taking care of the family business. At least he had the title of a scholar, so it would be better for him to return to his hometown. There were so many talented people in the provincial capital that it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself.

The family of seven was already packing their bags. The house had been put up for sale a long time ago, and many people had come to see it before. But people at that time were very superstitious. They had lived here for ten years and had not passed the exam, so many people thought that the feng shui was not good.

After seeing this, many people decided to wait until the results were announced this year before considering the prize. In case they won the prize, they could buy the ticket to share in the good fortune.

There are no such good things in the world. You can encounter all good things.

At that time, the family had become wealthy, so the price would have to go up, and the number of buyers would certainly increase. When Liu's father saw this house, he felt that it was the most suitable house he had seen so far.

There are sixteen rooms in the front and back yards of the house in total. The most important thing is that there is a well in the yard. Many small houses in the capital city do not have wells, and people have to fetch water from public wells on the street every day.

There is also a small piece of land in the front yard that has been reclaimed and some small vegetables, green onions and the like are planted, which gives it a homey feel.

Moreover, the location of this house is just right for them. In the future, the children in the family will come here for exams. It is very quiet and not as noisy as the main street.

The person from the dental office was not that serious when introducing the house. Maybe because so many people had seen it before and they thought people were just looking at it, they didn't expect Luo Hong to be interested in it.

"How much does this house cost?"

The man from the real estate agency was still introducing the house halfheartedly: "One advantage of this house is that the owner has always lived there, the house is not damaged, and the house is well maintained. Unlike those houses that have been empty for a long time, the owner must repair them if he wants to move in. Once the owner moves out, you can move in immediately..."

Suddenly, he heard Luo Hong's question and hadn't reacted yet. He paused for a moment and immediately answered, "The current asking price for this house is 4,500 taels. But it can be cheaper. The owner wants to get the money note before leaving and doesn't want to come here again to sign the deed."

Luo Hong remained silent, and the agent continued, "This location is worse than the one we saw before, but the price is much cheaper. If the owner really passes the exam, the price can at least go up by two thousand taels."

Seeing that Luo Hong was interested in selling the product, the people at the dental shop recommended it to you even more enthusiastically, and even offered to say, "I can help you negotiate the price again."

The house was not bought by their brokerage firm. The owner paid them a brokerage fee after buying it. Although the brokerage fee is based on a percentage of the total selling price of the house, as long as it is sold, they will get the money, which is better than not selling it at all. He has no control over the total selling price.

Luo Hong nodded: "Okay, please help us talk to him. If it's possible, we'll make a deal. Doesn't the owner want to go back to his hometown? The sooner we buy it, the sooner we can go back and reunite with our family."

The young man pulled the male owner of the house aside to talk in private. Luo Hong talked to Chen Ziqi and the nanny. The nanny said, "People say that this house has bad feng shui. I have been taking the exam for so long but still failed. Your family also bought it for the children to study. I think you should think about it carefully."

In fact, she was looking at Luo Hong with an affirmative expression. Although she was an old woman and was also superstitious, she knew the difficulty of the imperial examination. So many houses could not produce a juren master. Was it because of bad feng shui?

"It's indeed a bit expensive to sell it at this price right now. I see that this family is sincere in wanting to buy it. Can you give it a lower price?" The man from the dental shop bargained with the owner.

"Four thousand three, I'll give you another two hundred taels. I really can't sell it any cheaper. To be honest, I bought this house for five thousand taels ten years ago, and now I'm selling it at a loss. I've lived here for ten years anyway, so I won't sell it for any lower. Anyway, my kid has to study and take exams in the future, so if it doesn't work out, I'll just leave it here."

"Okay, I'll go talk to you later."

The owner of the house also wanted to use the money to invest in business and make money. The house would not bring much rent if it was rented out here, so he would have a house to live in when he returned to his hometown. He saw a business and wanted to take the capital back to his hometown to do business.

After listening to the young man from the dental shop, Luo Hong thought for a moment and said, "You can talk to the owner of the house. This price is fine, but he has to pay for the intermediary fees, and we will pay for the overdue fees."

The broker thought about it and realized that the brokerage fee was originally half for each person, which was only about twenty taels of silver, so it shouldn't be a big problem. If it really didn't work out, he could give the person a discount.

The broker went to talk to the owner and indeed received a satisfactory answer. Both parties reached an agreement and, while the government office had not yet closed, they immediately went to complete the deed procedures.

It cost more than fifty taels of silver to sign the deed, and the house became the property of Lin Keyu.

Lin Keyu was holding a thin title deed. He was now a homeowner. It turned out to be better to be a rich second generation so that he could inherit the family property without struggling.

Lin Keyu looked at the title deed over and over again, then folded it up and put it in his arms, actually putting it into the space.

Luo Hong sent the people from the real estate agency away and agreed with the owner to hand over the house in three days. The owner and his people left in the morning three days later.

The owner of the house, Luo Hong, said, "Old man, do you need a housekeeper for your house? Our housekeeper Zhang has been with me for ten years. I wanted to take him back to my hometown, but he didn't want to. He is an old widower with nothing to do in the countryside. He has stayed here for ten years and his character is reliable. If you need someone to look after the house, just hire him!"

Luo Hong saw that the owner of the house was kind-hearted. He was still helping the old housekeeper who had worked in the house for ten years to find a way out. Since the house needed someone anyway, there was no problem, so he agreed: "Okay, go back and tell him that if you are willing to stay, everything will be treated the same as before. We do need someone to look after the house."

Both parties were very satisfied and went back home happily.
