CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: BUYING A HOUSE

"Sang Yu?" Wei Jin and Jiang Chunhe appeared at the hospital entrance, seeing Sang Yu coming out.

Fortunately, Sang Yu had already put the examination report in her bag, otherwise, Wei Jin and Jiang Chunhe would definitely tell Jiang Jingming if they saw it.

It wouldn’t be good if Jiang Jingming misunderstood at that time.

"Sang Yu, why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?" Wei Jin stepped forward and asked.

Today, Jiang Chunhe accompanied Wei Jin for a prenatal checkup.

Sang Yu: "It’s nothing, just a little cold, so I came to the hospital to get some medicine."

Wei Jin understood: "I see, it’s been quite cold lately, make sure to take care of yourself."

"Yes, I got it, cousin-in-law."

Sang Yu: "Then, cousin-in-law, you guys quickly go for the checkup, or it will be too late before they get off work."

Wei Jin: "Okay, then we’ll head in first."

After bidding goodbye to Wei Jin and Jiang Chunhe, Sang Yu didn’t go home immediately.

When she went out some time ago, she noticed that someone seemed to be selling a house nearby.

She had just enough money saved up now, at least enough to buy a house.

She should hurry and buy a few properties while the prices are low, so in the future she can earn rental income.

Recalling the location, Sang Yu walked over.

At the alley entrance, she saw the sign hanging for the house sale. Following the address on it, Sang Yu walked over.

The house in front looked like it had many years; it was probably a century-old ancestral home.

She went up and knocked on the door. After a while, a little boy opened it.

Sang Yu smiled and said, "Hello."

The little boy looked at Sang Yu warily: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Sang Yu waved the house sale sign in front of the boy: "I’m here to buy a house. Is there a house for sale here?"

Upon hearing about buying the house, the boy’s expression changed, and he said, "Wait a moment."

Sang Yu nodded: "Okay."

The boy closed the door, and after a long while, it reopened.

This time, besides the little boy, there was an old lady.

Her gaze was somewhat cloudy as she carefully looked Sang Yu up and down, "Are you the one wanting to buy the house?"

Sang Yu nodded: "Yes, ma’am, is this sign yours?"

The old lady nodded: "Yes, come inside."

Sang Yu nodded: "Okay."

After walking in, Sang Yu glanced around the house. Judging by the layout, it was indeed very old.

Moreover, the house occupied a large space. If it were to be rebuilt, it would be very effective.

And considering future development trends, this area would become central. Such a spacious house could become advantageous as an office building.

"Xiao Cong, pour some water for sister."

The little boy was called Xiao Cong. He nodded: "Okay, grandma."

The old lady pointed to the seat beside her, "Please sit."

Sang Yu nodded and sat down.

"Do you really want to buy this house? Have you seen the price on the sign?" The old lady’s voice was gentle and slow but carried a steady presence.

"Yes." Sang Yu nodded.

Xiao Cong brought over some water: "Sister, here’s your water."

Sang Yu looked at Xiao Cong and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Xiao Cong."

After putting down the water, Xiao Cong went to the side of the old lady.

"Young lady, this house has been passed down through several generations; it’s ancestral. If it weren’t for special reasons, I wouldn’t sell it."

Sang Yu nodded: "I can tell, the style is very ancient."

The old lady: "Yes, some people have inquired about this house before, but they thought it was too old and could collapse at any time, so they tried to bargain with me. I refused them all. The reason I set this price is because I’ve thought it through.

If you try to bargain with me, I’ll refuse you just like I have with other buyers.

So, young lady, what are your thoughts?"

Honestly, eighty thousand dollars isn’t a small amount.

But in terms of future value in this location, eighty thousand dollars is a gain for Sang Yu.

Her current savings were enough to buy this house.

"I understand, since I’m buying, I’ve considered it and made full preparations, so you can rest assured."

"Okay, but I have one condition, which is I want all cash and full payment at once," the old lady said.

This puzzled Sang Yu, "May I ask why?"

The cloudy eyes of the old lady stared at Sang Yu: "Young lady, some things are better left unknown."

Sang Yu felt that this old lady had many stories.

Given that, Sang Yu didn’t probe further.

"Okay, I understand. I’ll bring the money over tomorrow; can we sign the contract then?"

"Sure, I’ll give you the land deed tomorrow."

"Okay, I’ll come by tomorrow," Sang Yu said as she stood up.

There was a glimmer in the old lady’s eyes: "Aren’t you planning to look at the house first?"

Sang Yu shook her head: "No need."

After all, she wasn’t going to live in it. Eventually, it would be demolished to build a new building.

It’s a pity that such a fine house was going to be torn down.

But that’s the trend. This area could only become high-rises in the future.

After sending Sang Yu off.

Xiao Cong looked at the old lady: "Grandma, are we really selling the house?"

Every time someone came, Xiao Cong would ask this question.

The old lady stroked Xiao Cong’s head and said, "Yes, grandma will take you to a new place to live, okay?"

"Okay." Xiao Cong nodded.

Going to a new place means not seeing dad anymore, right?

If so, Xiao Cong was delighted, hoping to leave immediately.

That night, Sang Yu told Jiang Jingming about this.

Jiang Jingming didn’t object and said instead, "I’ll go with you tomorrow."

Sang Yu thought it was a good idea, after all, carrying eighty thousand dollars in cash alone was intimidating.

"Okay."

The next day, Sang Yu and Jiang Jingming went together.

When the old lady saw Jiang Jingming, there was a gleam in her eyes.

"Please come in."

Jiang Jingming’s sharp gaze fell on the old lady.

Then he looked at Xiao Cong beside her.

Xiao Cong hid behind the old lady a bit.

Sang Yu said, "Ma’am, here’s eighty thousand dollars in cash. Do you want to check it?"

The old lady nodded, took the bag, opened it for a look, and then took out a land deed from her clothes.

"This is the land deed for the house."

Sang Yu took it for a look, then showed it to Jiang Jingming, who nodded.

Then the two began to sign the contract.

After signing, the old lady said, "This house belongs to you from today. Please give me half a day to move out."

Sang Yu: "Of course, I’m not in a hurry to move in, you can take your time to pack."

The old lady nodded.

Sang Yu and Jiang Jingming didn’t linger, they took their stuff and left.

Finishing everything yesterday already brought me past eleven o’clock, was too tired to continue updating
