The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 602 South Street

The waiter came over and heard them discussing the house.

"Do you, the guests, want to buy a house?"

Tang Xiaojing took the noodles from the waiter's hand and asked excitedly:

"Yes, brother, do you know there is a house for sale nearby?"

The young man was very enthusiastic, "Our boss's brother has a small house with a front shop and a back house at the end of the street. He seems to be planning to sell it recently. Let me help you ask our boss."

Tangshan quietly gave 5 copper coins to the guy, "Thank you, brother."

After a while, the little brother came back with a middle-aged man with a round figure and a big belly.

"Guests, this is our boss, Boss Qin."

"Boss Qin, these are the guests I just mentioned who want to see the house."

The guy briefly introduced both parties and left in a hurry.

The middle-aged man sat down and said with a smile: "Guests, my brother's house is at the end of the street, not far from here."

"In the front is a small shop of about 30 square meters, and in the back is a small half-built house. It can be used for both business and living. It is very good."

"There are 4 main rooms and 2 side rooms, as well as a well and a vegetable patch. Although the place is relatively compact, it is small but has all the internal organs."

The house on South Street should be noisy, but it's not far from here. Anyway, the few of us had nothing to do, so we followed the owner of the noodle shop to visit the house.

Walking on South Street, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but look at the shops and stalls on both sides.

The shops all look relatively elegant. There are many shops selling the Four Treasures of the Study on the street. There are also several bookstores, as well as shops selling antiques and pawn shops.

The shop in front is at the end of the street, and there are not many people nearby. It’s no wonder it’s so deserted and has to be sold.

In front of the shop is a large bookstore with many people reading.

I don't know what kind of shop it is directly opposite, but the door is closed at this time.

The shop is at the end of the street, and the light is relatively dim. The key is that no one comes here.

Ye Qingqing was quite disappointed when he saw this shop.

There is a side door next to the shop, which can directly enter the house behind.

The house is an ordinary house, with a small vegetable patch and a well in front, and a few bamboo poles for drying clothes in the corridor.

The house is only 4 and a half feet in size, so there is no backyard. However, because there is no backyard, the house is quite spacious, and the front yard is not too small.

Before coming here, I thought it would be noisy on the street, but I didn't expect it to be quite quiet.

"This house is nice, isn't it? My brother used to open a clothing store in the front, and my family lived in the back."

"Later, when the children grew up and got married, the family couldn't live in any more, so they sold the house and planned to buy a larger house."

In fact, there is another reason, that is, this location is really bad, and the shop in front has been losing money.

Boss Qin's brother planned to sell the shop because he had been losing money, but he did not tell Tang Xiaojing and the others the truth.

To be honest, the small house at the back is quite suitable for the Tang family.

The place is not big and it is close to the academy, but the small shop in front is a bit redundant.

Even if Ye Qingqing had never opened a shop, she knew that the shop in front of her would definitely be out of business.

"Boss Qin, can the shop in front and the house in the back be sold separately? Can I just buy the house in the back?"

In fact, many people have visited this house in the past few days, and they all have the same idea as Ye Qingqing. They only want the small house in the back, not the shop in the front.

Boss Qin frowned and said: "Buying the shop and the house together only costs 450 taels. If you buy them separately, the shop in the front will cost 160 taels and the house in the back will cost 300 taels."

This house is only 4 and a half times the size of the land. Although the price is similar to the first house, it is much smaller than the first house.

The house is also very ordinary, far behind compared with the big house.

Tang Xiaojing quietly called Tangshan and Ye Qingqing aside.

"Shopkeeper Wang is quite familiar with the county. I'm going to deliver rabbits to the Liang Family Restaurant tomorrow. By the way, I'll ask Shopkeeper Wang if there are any other houses for sale near the academy."

Tang Xiaojing felt that this house was not cost-effective. It was really not as good as the big house in front of him.

"Shopkeeper Liang meets all kinds of people every day in the restaurant. He should be better informed. You can also ask shopkeeper Yang about it." Ye Qingqing suggested.

Tangshan didn't like this small house either. "I also asked the brothers in the escort agency carefully. Buying a house is a big deal and you shouldn't be hasty. You should check it out more before making a decision."

After seeing the small house on South Street, Father Ye was even more satisfied with the first house nestled among mountains and rivers.

After seeing the small house, a few people went back.

Back in the county, several people went to Yaxing again to look for Lin Kang.

Lin Kang had actually been waiting in Yahang for a long time. When he saw a group of people from Tangshan coming in with an ox cart, he rushed forward in one stride and arrived in front of them in two or three steps.

Lin Kang smiled brightly, "I have reached an agreement with Mr. Xiao, and the price of the house has been reduced to 315 taels of silver."

"This is the lowest price. If you want it, you can apply for the red deed now while the government office is still closed."

Originally, Father Ye and Mother Ye wanted to see a few more houses, but after asking around, they found that houses near the academy were indeed in short supply.

After a long time, I didn’t see any other houses for sale.

That small house is indeed quite nice, the surrounding environment is good, and the price is right.

After seeing the small house on South Street, the Ye family became even more satisfied with the small house.

In the end, Father Ye gritted his teeth and bought the small house.

Tax silver, red deeds and commissions all added up to a total of 331 taels of silver.

It was less than Father Ye expected, and there was still a lot of money left.

When applying for the red deed for the Ye family, Lin Kang often spoke well of the big house to Tangshan, but Tangshan still thought it was too expensive.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing didn't want to buy that big house because they didn't have any money.

Tangshan said very apologetically: "We are not in a hurry about this matter. Let's take a look at it later."

"I go to the county to solicit customers every day. If you have a suitable house, just let me know."

Coming out of the tooth shop, Ye's father had already obtained the house deed and the key to the door.

"Manager Lin, I want to entrust you with renting out the house." Xiaoqi was still young, so Ye's father planned to rent out the house first.

Mrs. Ye on the side quickly pulled Father Ye's sleeve and told him to shut up and stop talking.

Father Ye was a little confused at first, until Mrs. Ye next to him whispered.

"Old House"

Father Ye just thought that there might be something valuable missing from this wealthy family's house, and there might be a surprise.

Lin Kang didn't notice the little movements of mother and son, and said with some embarrassment:

"There is no furniture in the house, so it is difficult to rent it out. Even if it can be rented out, the price will be relatively low."

"I suggest that the furniture be fully furnished before renting it out, so the rent will be higher."

Mrs. Ye quickly said: "Manager Lin is right. Let's go back and get the furniture ready first, and then we can ask you to rent it out later."

Back home, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but point at Father Ye and scold him.

"Are you stupid? A few good things from this wealthy family are worth a lot of money."

"Let's take Xilin with us and search the house twice. Maybe we can find the money to buy furniture."

"Mom, you are still smart." Father Ye pinched Mrs. Ye's shoulders with a look of shamelessness.

"Not to mention too much, just find a dozen or eighty taels, which is enough to buy a new set of furniture."

Old Mrs. Ye turned around and glared at Father Ye. He was so stupid and looked nothing like her.
