Rebirth 60: After the separation, he took his wife to eat delicious food

The person who introduced the house to Chen Yuan and his friends was a friend of the owner, who had left the country two years ago.

These days, people who are not in the country have a special status and are very sensitive.

The homeowner specifically asked a friend to take charge of the house. Chen Yuan guessed that the ownership of this courtyard house would most likely remain in the hands of the homeowner's friend in the future.

"They haven't lived here in years. Ever since they left, I've been looking after the house. It's empty anyway, so I can rent it out to them and leave them some money."

The other party was an employee of the nearby government compound, a local named Maodou.

I was quite curious when I heard Chen Yuan and the others spoke with a Northeastern accent.

"You're from the Northeast? You came all the way here to stay with your relatives?"

Chen Yuan and Sun Weiwei nodded.

"Yes, our relatives' house is too full for us, so we want to have a place of our own where we can be comfortable."

Maodou responded.

"That's right, no one wants to live under someone else's roof!"

"My friend's hospital is really good. If you like it, I can give you a discount of thirty dollars a year, but this is the lowest price. I definitely can't decide on the rest."

"Although I can't contact them now, I can't guarantee that they will come back one day. If they cause trouble for me, I have to have an excuse."

Edamame prices have been lowered proactively.

Chen Yuan walked around the courtyard for a while. There was a well and a toilet inside.

It can be used after some decoration.

He and Sun Weiwei are improving their living environment. This will be their future home.

Chen Yuan asked.

"Comrade Mao, I just wonder if your friend has any plans to come back in the past two years?"

Maodou touched his chin.

"Who knows? I haven't been in touch with him for years. After they left, they left me a letter asking me to take care of the old house. I've been doing this for several years and have cleaned it for them many times."

"The house is a bit messy inside, but the yard is clean!"

Chen Yuan nodded.

The yard is really clean.

There is not a single leaf.

It seems that Maodou was not lying.

Chen Yuan looked at Maodou and said.

"Comrade Mao, I have a small question. I wonder if this house can be sold?"

"Selling a house?"

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Yes, sell the house. This courtyard house is our ancestral home. Since your friend doesn't plan to come back, there's no point in keeping it. If you sell it to him, he might even be grateful to you."

Chen Yuan didn't care whether anyone would cause trouble for him in the future. Nowadays, anyone who could go abroad must be rich and powerful.

And it also has inextricable connections with the outside world.

When they came back, they were worried about everything and did not dare to return home easily.

Maodou pondered for a moment.

"If you're talking about selling it, I really don't know. How much are you planning to pay for it?"

Edamame is very tempting.

After all, he has been looking at this old house for a long time.

He had no news from his friend, who had gifted the house to him, and the original title deed had been changed to his name.

Nowadays, land deeds are all handwritten, and you only need to go to the neighborhood committee to register and certify it. As long as the name is changed, it will be his.

This house was a gift left to him by his friend.

Maodou is also a loyal person.

I was thinking that if my friend really returned to China in the future, I could return the house to him.

But now Chen Yuan said he wanted to buy it, and Maodou was thinking about it.

If this were sold, it would probably fetch quite a bit of money.

"It's hard for me to give you an offer. It depends on your price. Three hundred yuan a year is not a good price to rent it out."

Three hundred yuan was a huge sum of money in that era, let alone renting a house.

Even if a family of three are all workers, they may not be able to save that much money in a year.

Chen Yuan and his friends should be among the few people who come here to look at the house.

Maodou nodded.

He is also an open-minded person and would not tell lies to Chen Yuan.

"It's really hard to rent it out. Otherwise, why not let me keep it for such a long time?"

"As soon as you came, I hurriedly asked for leave from work to take you to see the house, but if you want to buy it, I really can't say for sure. It's going to cost at least three thousand yuan. Do you have that kind of money?"

He didn't think it was a big deal that Maodou was so bold as to sell the house.

There will be more and more such transactions happening outside.

They are well-informed as they work in the government compound.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath.

"Three thousand yuan is a bit expensive."

Although Chen Yuan had the money on hand, he had to spend so much money to buy the house at once, and it would cost a lot to renovate and buy furniture in the future.

Chen Yuan also wanted to leave some money for Sun Weiwei and Yiyi as a backup.

Moreover, he went to the south without any start-up capital, so how could he expand his business?

"Then, brother, you name a price. I want to hear it."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment.

"Comrade Mao, I only have 2,300 yuan. I'm not kidding you. This money was scraped together by my family and I borrowed a lot. If I use all this money to buy a house, how will my wife and children live?"

"The days ahead will be tough. We've only just arrived in Beijing and haven't settled down yet. I don't dare spend all my money on a house, but we really like this one and don't want to look elsewhere."

Maodou saw that Chen Yuan was so sincere.

He smiled too.

"Every family has its problems. You just arrived here and you're planning to buy a house for your wife and children. You're a good man."

"So I'm thinking, if I can get this courtyard house for 1,900 yuan, do you think it's suitable? If not, just pretend I never said anything."

Chen Yuan spoke pitifully.

Maodou also hesitated.

Nineteen thousand is really not a lot.

Of course it would cost three thousand yuan. He could also imagine that most people couldn't afford it.

But after all, it was someone else's house, so if he sold it for a higher price, he would be able to explain it to his friends later.

Maodou thought about it.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but 1900 yuan is indeed a little too little. This courtyard covers such a large area, and there are several households inside and outside. If you can get it for 1,900 yuan, I really won't be able to explain to my friend!"

"Although he can't come back now, who knows what will happen in the future."

"Brother Yuan, we don't necessarily have to buy a house. Renting is also good."

Sun Weiwei didn't want to put too much pressure on Chen Yuan.

When she heard Maodou say it would cost three thousand yuan, she was so scared that she couldn't speak.

How much is this more than 3,000 yuan worth!

I have to take out several stacks of them!

She can't bear to do it!

But Chen Yuan seemed to have made up his mind and said to Maodou again.

"Then Comrade Mao, how much more do you think is appropriate? I definitely can't come up with three thousand."

"How about this? You add another year's rent? Two thousand two hundred? Two thousand two hundred, and I'll help you change the name of the house. It's easy."

"Two thousand two?"

Sun Weiwei tugged at Chen Yuan's sleeve.

"Brother Yuan, this is too expensive! Two thousand and two! Where would our family get that much money? If we use this to buy a house, how can we ever pay it back in the future?"

"Brother Yuan, listen to me, let's rent it."

Two thousand and two hundred is not really expensive, not to mention that the courtyard house in this location can be sold for hundreds of millions in a few decades.

But that’s all in the future.
