Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Chapter 151 Chengdu, Set 2

The shop was indeed quite clean, and there were tables and chairs inside.

Selling braised meat is enough.

The elderly landlady looked fierce.

"Did you bring the money? I'm busy right now, I'll go sign the contract and transfer the property."

Qi Yunzhu said irritably:

"Look at you, you've lived your whole life and still can't speak properly. You scared that young girl. Be careful she doesn't buy your house."

The old woman fell silent.

She wanted to sell the shop as soon as possible. She was over sixty years old and had worked hard all her life. Getting up early to steam buns and dumplings was too tiring, and her old bones couldn't do it anymore.

Bai Zhenzhu suppressed a laugh and said:

"Auntie, do you still have any houses to sell?"

The old woman glared at Bai Zhenzhu:

"What's wrong? You're going to buy a house?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yunzhu and Ge's mother gathered around.

Mother Ge said directly:

"Grandma Liao, you're going to sell your old house too, right? You might as well sell it together with the house."

Qi Yunzhu also chimed in:

"Exactly! You're moving to a new apartment building, so why keep that old one? The old houses in your alley are old and damp; they're nowhere near as comfortable as the new apartment building."

Grandma Liao glared at Qi Yunzhu with annoyance:

"Judging from how enthusiastic you are, is this your son's girlfriend?"

Qi Yunzhu laughed heartily:

"After knowing you for so many years, this is the first time I've heard you say something sensible. I'll take that as a compliment to my son."

"I would be laughing in my sleep if I had such a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law."

"Stop talking nonsense, are you selling your house or not?"

Grandma Liao sighed:

"Sell."

I do want to sell it, but I've lived here my whole life and I can't bear to part with it.

She lost her husband early in life, and this house was left to her and her son by her deadbeat husband.

The group then went to Grandma Liao's house.

This area is all old streets, with bluestone slabs on the ground and shops of all sizes on both sides, making it look somewhat messy and crowded.

Whose little toddler, still wearing open-crotch pants, is chasing a ball all over the street?

The bicycle bells jingled incessantly, but everyone seemed relaxed, with smiles on their faces, friendly and approachable.

Grandma Liao's home is in a large courtyard house.

The courtyard houses here are more grand than those in Teapot Lane; some even have two stories.

Many families lived there.

Grandma Liao's house is on the left-hand side as you enter.

The house was very clean, which shows that Grandma Liao is a capable person.

I guess his bad temper is the reason his business isn't doing so well.

The apartment has two bedrooms and a fairly large kitchen, which Bai Zhenzhu is quite satisfied with.

Grandma Liao said with a stern face:

"This house is bigger than the shop, and the price is 40,000."

Mother Ge immediately said:

“Their new houses cost over 700 yuan per square meter, and they’re bigger and brighter than yours. They’re not much more expensive, yet you dare to ask for such a high price.”

Qi Yunzhu echoed:

"Exactly, how old is this house? How can you ask for such a high price? Thirty thousand is more appropriate."

Grandma Liao glared:

"What? Thirty thousand?"

"Damn it, 30,000? Why don't you just rob someone?"

Then he chased them away:

"Go away, go away, I'm not selling anymore, you all get out of here."

Qi Yunzhu couldn't stop laughing:

"Old Lady Liao, you're so petty. You can't even take a joke. It's not like I'm buying a house. Can't I just tease you a little?"

"Don't shout things out. If you want to sell, be sincere."

Grandma Liao was really driven crazy by Qi Yunzhu and Ge's mother.

Qi Yunzhu turned to Bai Zhenzhu and whispered:

"Her house and shop are in a good location, and they're close to the shop on East Street."

"This old woman saw you wanted to buy it, so she deliberately quoted a high price. You can just add a little more and it will be about right."

Bai Zhenzhu nodded. She also thought that the shop and the house were in a good location, and that the houses in these areas would most likely be demolished in the future.

The shop was about the same size as the one at Yuanxian No.1 Middle School, but the price was about three times that of the No.1 Middle School branch.

But this is Chengdu, and the location is pretty good. Getting it for 20,000 is really a great deal.

Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment and said:

"Grandma Liao, I'll add two thousand, making it thirty-two thousand. I can't afford any more than that."

Grandma Liao glared fiercely at Bai Zhenzhu, her heart aching as if it were being torn apart:

"Okay, thirty-two thousand, cash only. I'll move out as soon as the property is transferred."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Okay, cash."

Since it was still early, Bai Zhenzhu planned to take Grandma Liao to the housing management office to sign the contract.

Qi Yunzhu said to Granny Liao:

"As you get older, you shouldn't be so short-tempered; it's bad for your health. The new houses are mostly inhabited by young people. If you're always so fierce, you probably won't make any good friends."

"If you get bored, come back to us, and Lao Zhao and I will argue with you."

Mother Ge also said:

"Exactly, people might not be used to it without your loud voice on the street."

Qi Yunzhu and Ge's mother had always lived in the compound and weren't very familiar with the people on this street.

They and Grandma Liao became acquainted through a series of disagreements, having argued before.

Grandma Liao was moving away, and the two of them were actually a little reluctant to part with her.

Grandma Liao was also somewhat moved. This man had been strong-willed his whole life, and his temper was truly awful.

"Who wants to come back to see you? Dream on."

Bai Zhenzhu handed the pager to Qi Yunzhu, saying apologetically:

“Aunt Qi, this pager should belong to your son. I took the wrong one yesterday. Please give it to him.”

Qi Yunzhu already knew about this, and smiled:

“My son has been busy with social engagements lately, and I doubt he even knows where he put it. Okay, I'll give it to him. You go and sign the contract right away.”

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Alright, thank you so much for your help today, Aunt Qi and Aunt Zhao. I'll come see you later."

"By the way, the owner of that cheongsam shop was from Shanghai. He's already sold the shop. I'll keep an eye out for other master tailors and take Aunt Zhao and Aunt Qi to have some custom-made."

Qi Yunzhu waved her hand:

Don't take that to heart.

"You go ahead with your work, I'm going to stroll around with my older sister a bit more."

The two elderly ladies went shopping arm in arm.

Bai Zhenzhu first went to find a public phone and called Liu Huiying.

Tell her to bring her household registration booklet and ID card to the housing management office.

Liu Huiying didn't know why Bai Zhenzhu asked her to bring her documents. She blindly worshipped Bai Zhenzhu and did whatever Bai Zhenzhu asked her to do.

When she arrived at the housing management office that Bai Zhenzhu had mentioned with her documents, Bai Zhenzhu had already completed the transfer of ownership of the shop.

The efficiency of handling affairs in Chengdu is getting higher and higher. Now you can get the property certificate as soon as the transfer is completed.

Seeing Liu Huiying panting heavily as she pedaled her bicycle, Bai Zhenzhu chuckled:

Why are you in such a hurry?

"Come on, sign here."

Liu Huiying took the pen, signed her name, and seeing the inkpad next to her, subconsciously pressed her fingerprint on it as well.

Curious said:

"Pearl, what is this?"

Bai Zhenzhu brought over another document for her to sign:

"Sign first, and I'll tell you after you're done."

Liu Huiying signed the document without saying a word.

Grandma Liao glared at Bai Zhenzhu with annoyance:

"Is this all right now?"

Liu Huiying looked wary:
