Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

The owner's offer was not high, but Zheng Xinyi still bargained for a while and finally cut the price down by one thousand, buying the one-story courtyard for 76,000 yuan. She also agreed with the original landlord to keep the old furniture.

Ye Ke was eager to make a move. Her original plan was to come to Pudong, buy a few new houses that she was familiar with, and then rent them out and wait for them to appreciate in value.

But what she didn't expect was that she arrived too early and the houses she knew about had not been built yet.

But everything has come.

Although she didn't know when this area would be relocated, she was certain that in the future, there would definitely be no such old houses in this economically prosperous area.

"Auntie, are there any yards for sale around here?"

After negotiating with the landlord, Zheng Xinyi and the old lady walked aside and gave her an introduction fee. Ye Ke took the opportunity to come over and ask.

The old lady looked at her in confusion. Why did she still want to buy it? But she didn't ask any more questions. As long as she could make money, there was no need to worry about so many things.

Thinking of Zheng Xinyi's generosity, the old lady enthusiastically introduced: "Of course! I'll take you there right away."

Anyone with a little ability wants to live in a new house in the city. People with ability are reluctant to sell their homes because they miss their hometown, but there are also many people who need to sell their old houses to raise money.

Zheng Xinyi and the landlord agreed to wait for a while and go see the house Ye Ke wanted to buy first. If they could buy it, they would go together to handle the procedures.

The old lady led the three of them for a walk of four or five minutes, passing through two alleys and arriving at an independent courtyard.

When the homeowner saw the old lady bringing people to see the house, he immediately came forward to greet them warmly. His family had wanted to move to a new house for a long time and was just hoping to sell the old house as soon as possible.

This old house is smaller than the previous one, perhaps because the owner's family is still living in it. The daily necessities piled up everywhere make the yard look a bit messy.

The homeowner was very self-aware and knew that his yard was not advantageous in the area. He was also in a hurry to sell the house, so his offer was relatively reasonable.

Ye Ke tried to bargain, but the landlord was adamant and refused to lower the price, muttering, "No, no, no, if you don't believe me, ask Aunt He, this is a fair price."

Ye Ke looked at the lady who led them, and the lady responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Ye Ke did not insist. After all, the price of 68,000 was indeed not high.

The homeowner and his family had already chosen a new house, but their old house had not been sold and they did not have enough money to buy a new one.

Now they have finally sold the old house, but after buying the new house, they still need to renovate and buy furniture, so they really can't move out in a short period of time.

He had no choice but to discuss with Ye Ke with a blushing face whether he could give him one more month so that they could pay the rent according to the market price.

Ye Ke couldn't have asked for more. She hadn't bought the house for her own use. Even if she didn't rent it to them, she would rent it to someone else. However, the house would be ready for collection in a month, and then she would have to trouble Zheng Xinyi.

At noon, following Aunt He's enthusiastic recommendation, the three of them went to a nearby, unassuming noodle shop. They quickly ate a bowl of authentic scallion oil noodles, and afterward, they went to the Housing Authority with the two homeowners to handle the transfer formalities.

The owner of Zheng Xinyi's courtyard directly handed her the key and said, "My family and I have packed up the last bit of our things. If you don't mind, you can move in today."

Zheng Xinyi was a little tempted, thinking that she would save as much as possible. But now there were not only her and Yangyang, but also Ye Ke, so she hesitated again.

Ye Ke saw through it and offered to go to the hotel to check out. So, the three of them moved into the courtyard carrying a pile of luggage.

The previous owner had cleaned the house very well when he moved out, and it was almost exactly the same as when they saw it that morning.

Zheng Xinyi nodded in satisfaction, looked at Ye Ke and Yang Yang and said, "I'm going to go out and buy some daily necessities. You two stay at home and tidy up."

Although it was a bit impolite to ask Ye Ke to clean the house, they had been out all day and Zheng Xinyi was worried that going out to buy more would tire her out.

Thinking that it would be unsafe to leave Ye Ke alone in an unfamiliar place, he asked Yang Yang to stay as well.

Fortunately, the original owner has almost cleaned up the yard, so it shouldn't be too tiring for them.

After Zheng Xinyi left, Ye Ke and Ye Canyang began to clean up obediently.

Ye Canyang found a basin left by the landlord, filled it with water and walked to Ye Ke. He took the old towel handed to him by Ye Ke, wiped the bed and asked curiously.

"Sister Xiao Ke, why do you want to buy this old house?"

Ye Ke is not like his mother, who has the need to live nearby. She can easily buy a house in the city center. Why does she come here to buy these old houses?

Ye Ke wiped the cabinet carefully and said casually without turning his head: "The houses here are cheap!"

Buying here means making a small investment for a big return.

Ye Canyang frowned, half believing and half doubting, and then thought about how Ye Ke had already bought so many houses in Ancheng, so it made sense that he was short of money now.

But if the money is not enough, then why buy it? Ye Ke does not need to live in Hai City all the time, is it really just that he loves buying houses?

“But it’s also cheap if I sell it?”

Just looking at the surrounding environment, the location here obviously doesn't have much room for appreciation, and I think the selling price won't be much higher. His family does this to save on rent, but what is Ye Ke's reason?

Ye Ke paused after hearing this, turned sideways to look at Ye Canyang, and said the truth in a joking tone, "It's hard to say, what if one day this place is demolished like Yejia Village?"

"How can I have such luck again?" Just the demolition of Yejia Village made him feel that he was extremely rich.

Ye Canyang smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, the scene he saw today flashed through his mind. He looked at Ye Ke seriously and asked, "Sister Xiao Ke, why do you think so?"

He asked whenever he had something to ask. Back when they were in Yejia Village, he and Ye Ke were only vaguely familiar with each other. Since his family moved to Nanhu Yaju, he and Ye Ke had been in more and more contact, and they had become more and more familiar with each other. So now he didn't worry that Ye Ke would get angry if he asked too many questions.

Ye Ke really didn't mind and explained with a smile, "Just read the newspaper. Pudong New Area has been established, and it has the support of leaders. How can it be too late for it to develop?"

"Look at the area being built ahead. It's not far from here. Is it possible that there will be tall buildings on one side and muddy land on the other?"

Ye Canyang imagined this scene and felt a little disconnected. He asked tentatively, "Sister Xiao Ke, did you come all the way to Hai City just to buy this set?"

Hearing the meaning behind his words, Ye Ke said frankly, "How could that be? I plan to look around in the next few days and buy something if I find one that suits me."

She didn't plan to hide it. After all, she would not be in Hai City anymore, and these houses would have to be entrusted to Zheng Xinyi.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Ye Canyang's eyes lit up and he looked at Ye Ke flatteringly, "Sister, take care of my little brother!"
