The 70-Year Family Lets You Take Charge (Female Dominant)

Chapter 39

There’s a saying that goes, the happiness of the wealthy is beyond the imagination of others. Money can accomplish most things in the world, and it does so quickly and efficiently.

For Su Fei, she wanted to buy a house rather than rent one. It’s certain that everything will become more expensive in the future, especially real estate. She might not even be able to afford it later on.

Su Fei took Ningning and went directly to a hotel to have a good sleep first. Then they went to find someone to help them find a house. There are still some small agencies specialized in this kind of service.

When it comes to finding a house, it’s essential to find local insiders. For them, they are basically all-knowing. They know all about nearby houses or buying things, and they earn some commission.

Su Fei and Ningning wandered around nearby and found a small agency with “Real Estate” written above it. After entering, they found that there weren’t many people inside.

As soon as they entered, some people stood still, except for a young guy named Xiao Huang. Because Su Fei and Ningning were still wearing new clothes made in the village, although they were new, the style was clearly from the village. So the people inside didn’t want to move.

“Xiao Huang, we have new customers. Take care of them.” An old man directly assigned this customer to the newcomer, teasingly saying, “Take good care of them, maybe they’re big clients.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of it.” Xiao Huang, as a young guy, was already satisfied to find this job. He didn’t care about big or small tasks, as long as he could earn money.

Su Fei and Ningning didn’t care about these people. After all, there are ignorant people everywhere. If they got angry with these people, they would only make themselves miserable.

Xiao Huang didn’t treat them differently either. After politely greeting them, he introduced himself and asked what these two customers were here for. “What are your requirements? Just tell me, we’ll try our best to meet your needs and make both parties satisfied.”

“First of all, we want the house to be close to Beijing University, whether it’s an apartment or a bungalow, it doesn’t matter. The closer, the better. Then, it should be convenient for daily life, with supermarkets or markets nearby. But the most important thing is that the surrounding environment must be good, with good people around, for safety and comfort…” Su Fei wanted to make a one-time investment.

It would be best to buy a courtyard, but she also knew that although she had been earning money and submitted many manuscripts, she had just received some fees. But to buy a courtyard in Beijing, she was still a bit short.

Su Fei kept talking, and Xiao Huang didn’t get angry because he had found out during the past few months of work that the more specific the requirements, the more likely they were already determined to buy.

“That’s about it. Ningning, do you have anything else to add?” Su Fei kept talking, making her thoughts and requirements very clear.

“Let’s buy another small house. There will definitely be new houses built later, so let’s buy another new house then.” Ningning felt that the first house was just a transition period for them, so there was no need to buy a very good one.

Su Fei thought that Ningning’s idea was better. She hadn’t thought about it. There would definitely be new buildings nearby in a few years. By then, buying a new building would be much more reasonable than buying the current one, which had a small area and inconvenient facilities such as public toilets.

“Then let’s go for a smaller one, preferably a bungalow. Don’t get a small apartment. The area is small, and it’s not convenient to live in.” Su Fei was a bit disdainful of apartments. The current cylindrical buildings were really unbearable to live in.

Xiao Huang thought for a moment, and these two houses were more in line with Su Fei’s requirements.

“The one you mentioned, there happens to be a bungalow near my house. It’s super close to Beijing University, only a five-minute walk away. But it’s a bit old, and the asking price is relatively high. There’s also another house, which is a wing room in a courtyard. Similarly, it has three rooms and a shared toilet and other facilities.”

“Then let’s go take a look, and we’ll decide afterward.” Su Fei didn’t directly say which one she wanted.

She believed seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving.

Xiao Huang happened to have finished showing the two houses, and he could go home for dinner without returning to the office. “Okay, I’ll go tell the boss.”

After comparing the two houses, they felt that the courtyard was better. Although two families were already living there, the overall decoration and structure were better because the entire courtyard used to belong to a wealthy family. So, the decoration and furniture inside were all very good.

Apart from the slightly larger number of people in the other two households, Su Fei and Ningning felt that this courtyard was still the better choice.

Mainly because it was so close to Beijing University, basically just around the corner. Su Fei saved accommodation fees directly, and she could also go home for meals during normal times.

“Let’s go for this courtyard then. The price is not too expensive.” Ningning looked at the distance from Beijing University and felt that they must keep this courtyard.

“Okay, let’s go for this one, but I want to know if the owners have clear property deeds. I won’t buy if they don’t.” Su Fei is especially afraid of future disputes.

Xiao Huang knew they were about to buy and eagerly said, “Yes, they have proper property deeds. If you tell the owners, they can reduce the price by a few hundred yuan if they don’t handle the property deeds.”

“I don’t need those few hundred yuan. I can pay it myself, but all the necessary documents must be obtained.” Su Fei looked like she wasn’t short of money.

“As soon as possible. We want to move in and redecorate quickly. But let’s agree on the price. If they want to raise it again, I won’t agree.” Su Fei was surprised at how easily they were giving money, there must be someone unhappy about it.

It’s more important to say tough words upfront than anything else.

“Okay, I’ll convey that to the sellers. But you can rest assured, we have rules in our company and won’t let them raise the price again. If all customers were like this, it would be chaotic.” Xiao Huang quickly clarified himself. To do well in this industry, one must have good character.

Sure enough, the next morning, the sellers of the house couldn’t wait to sign the contract. They wanted to sell the house quickly and divide the money.

Su Fei spent nearly ten thousand yuan on three bungalows. This was basically all her savings from these years. Now both pockets were empty, with only a little money left to sustain their lives.

“It’s a good thing you didn’t leave everything behind at home, or else you’d have to spend a lot to buy them back.” Ningning was still tidying up, although it wasn’t messy, basically nothing was left inside. They cleaned the house so thoroughly, almost like scraping the ground clean.

They needed to re-procure all the remaining items, such as pots, bowls, and utensils. They had to buy whatever was needed.

“…Not enough money… I’ll work hard to support the family. But don’t worry, the school will provide some subsidies after the semester starts, which can be used for our daily expenses.” Su Fei quickly expressed her determination.

Ningning knew that money was earned, not saved. “It’s okay. Let’s buy what we need and eat what we should. After stabilizing, I’ll also go find a job. Or start a business myself, anything is possible.”

“Yeah, let’s hurry up and tidy up, then go to sleep.” Su Fei patted the bed beside her, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as she urged Ningning to go to bed quickly.
