Chapter 97
The two of them ran to the street excitedly. When passers-by saw the two pretty girls and their clothes were very luxurious, they couldn't help but glance at them and exclaimed, "Who are the eldest ladies of this family? They are so handsome."
"Yue Zhu, where are we going to play today?" Chen Jiuying's heart is still beating fast. It feels so good to be out and free!
"My sister-in-law, don't just think about it. I called you out today to ask you to accompany me to look at the house." Li Yuezhu said to Chen Jiuying angrily.
"Looking at a house? You still call me sister-in-law, I should call you that. I didn't expect you, a poor girl, to be so rich. You just buy a house when you say you want to buy a house..."
"Stop talking about it from here and leave quickly!"
Chen Jiuying complained that going out was not just for fun. After finally going out, she had to swim in the lake and listen to music.
Li Yuezhu took Chen Jiuying and went to the agency where she bought the house before.
The agency was particularly deserted today. Except for the old shopkeeper, there was no one else in the room.
“Knock knock knock…”
The old shopkeeper was frowning and fiddling with the abacus, and he couldn't figure out a few numbers. As soon as he figured it out, he heard someone knocking on the table. He immediately showed a professional smile, squinted his eyes and hunched over.
"Do you two need any help?"
Li Yuezhu looked at the old man hunched over with a flattering look on his face. A man really depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on its saddle. Now that he had changed into a set of more beautiful clothes, his attitude immediately changed.
"It seems like the old shopkeeper doesn't recognize me anymore."
The old shopkeeper squinted his eyes and looked at the girl carefully. He didn't remember any girl coming to their shop recently.
"Haha, I'm old and can't remember some things. I hope the girl will be more considerate." The old shopkeeper bent down and saluted.
"It doesn't matter if the old shopkeeper doesn't remember it. My family lived in a very comfortable house in Dongcheng District."
After Li Yuezhu said this, the old shopkeeper slapped his forehead: "Oh, I remembered, you are that wild girl..."
When the old shopkeeper said this, he didn't dare to say. Who can a wild girl wear this exquisite brocade? Maybe she deliberately acted ugly in the past to deceive an old man like him!
"Now that the old shopkeeper has remembered it, I won't beat around the bush with you. Today, I have to choose another house. Since I am a regular customer, the old shopkeeper can be happy."
"Hey, hey, that's for sure, that's for sure."
The old shopkeeper also had a good impression of Li Yuezhu. He didn't bargain with him much last time. He bought it quickly after he was optimistic about it. He seemed to be a happy owner.
"What kind of house do you want to see today? I have houses in Dongcheng District, Xicheng District, Nancheng District, Beicheng District, anywhere. You can choose as you like..."
"Okay, okay, don't say that. I don't want to buy a yard today, I want to buy a shop."
When the old shopkeeper heard that this girl actually wanted to buy a shop, he kept sighing, are all the girls nowadays so powerful? Seeing how this little girl showed up in public and didn't show any timidity for such a big thing, she is really scary.
The old shopkeeper took out several large brochures from the drawer. They were all shops for sale.
"Let's decide first what kind of shop you want to buy. That shop is in a different location and the price will naturally be different. It's not like the yard you bought. It's too cheap. I feel bad thinking about it now."
Li Yuezhu didn't listen to his ramblings. He directly took the thick big booklets, sat on the Taishi chair on the side, and started to flip through them.
Chen Jiuying also picked out one of these books and flipped through it boredly. She was really not interested in these things, so she might as well go to the restaurant opposite and listen to a song.
Li Yuezhu has also spent a lot of time wandering around this county, and has a general understanding of the streets in the county.
"Does the old shopkeeper have any recommendations? As long as the location is good and the price is negotiable," Li Yuezhu said while reading the brochure.
The old shopkeeper thought for a moment and realized that there really was such a shop waiting to be sold, but...
"Miss, I also have a shop here. It's on Zhengyang Street, facing the city gate. It's a pretty good location."
"Where? Why didn't I see it?"
Zhengyang Street is great. It is the main street of the county. It is wide and has a large flow of people. It is the only way in and out of the county. If you can buy a house in such a location, it really doesn't matter if it is more expensive.
The old shopkeeper took out a small box from a hidden cabinet on one side. The small box was locked. He rummaged around and finally found the key. After opening the lock, he handed a thin piece of paper to Li Yuezhu.
.
Li Yuezhu took the topographic map handed over by the old shopkeeper. Not to mention, this is really an excellent location.
"Hey, this location is great, Xiaojiu, you should take a look." Li Yuezhu handed the piece of paper to Chen Jiuying, pointed at it and said to her: "Look at this house, it faces south and is right between Zhengyang Street and Zhengyang Street.
The intersection of Jinling Street is not only a perfect location, but also extremely convenient to get back and forth, don’t you think?”
Chen Jiuying stretched her head and saw that it was indeed a good location.
"Old shopkeeper, such a good position should be a favorite. Why don't you put it outside and lock it in the kitchen?" Li Yuezhu asked.
The old shopkeeper didn't expect this young lady to be so sharp, so he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"To be honest with you two ladies, it's not that I don't want to leave this out, but the title deed is a bit troublesome."
Before Li Yuezhu could ask why, there was a loud bang at the door, startling the three people in the room.
"Old man Sun, where did you die?"
Three house slaves with rude faces walked in from the door.
The old shopkeeper trembled with fright and quickly put away the few books and hid them under the soft seat of the Grand Master's chair.
"Why are you guys here? Come on, please come in." The old shopkeeper was even more respectful.
"Do you want black tea or green tea? I'll make it for you right now."
The old shopkeeper said and ran behind the counter.
"Okay, old shopkeeper, please stop dawdling. What do you think about the last time I asked you?" The leader, a fierce-looking man, asked the old shopkeeper with his legs crossed.
"Master, we opened a store here just to do business. The store really can't sell it so cheaply!" the old shopkeeper begged.
"Don't whine at me here. It's only ten thousand taels. I can't give you more. Hurry up and get the land deed. Don't let me get angry, otherwise you will suffer."
Li Yuezhu and Chen Jiuying were sitting on the Grand Master's chair on the other side. Looking at the situation here, the old shopkeeper's clothes were soaked and he was still begging humbly.
"Master, you also know that we also bought this from a customer. When I bought the shop, I also had 23,000 taels. You have 10,000 taels. To put it bluntly, you can't even get half of it."
If you can’t buy it, don’t embarrass me. I won’t make any money from you. How about you give me twenty-three thousand and I’ll sign the land deed for you?”
"Get out of here, grandma!" The leader of the house slave slapped the old shopkeeper, who was over sixty years old, to the ground.
"Don't be shameless. It would be nice if I could give you some money. If you're not satisfied yet, I'll call you twenty-three thousand. I'll call you twenty-three thousand."
The house slave kicked and hit the old shopkeeper hard. How could the old shopkeeper be a match for this strong man? He could only lie on the ground and moan.
"If I hadn't seen that shop at the intersection of Zhengyang Street and Jinling Street, I wouldn't want it!"
After saying that, the slave kicked him twice more. Still not relieved after the kicking, he raised his arm and punched him down.
"Boom!!!" There was a loud noise, and the slave immediately lay on the ground and howled.
