224 Chapter 224 Buying A House (2)

Gu Ziyi took a fancy to it at first glance, but she worried it was too expensive. She could only ask, “How much is Manager Qian asking for this place?”

“300 taels. To be honest, this price is really not high. If it were in the past, it would not have been possible to get it without 500 taels.”

“300 taels,” Gu Ziyi hesitated for a moment before she thought of the furniture in the house. “What about the furniture inside?”

“If you don’t mind, you can have it. These are all items that come with the house.”

Gu Ziyi looked at Zhou Ying because she knew little about the housing market.

“Uncle Qian, it’s not easy for anyone during this disaster. Can you help me lower the price? I’ll treat you to a big meal later.” Zhou Ying had no choice but to speak up.

“To be honest, I was really giving my lowest price because of our friendship.

“Think about it. This tile and brick house would cost about 150 taels of silver just to build it. In addition to the land, there is really no room for more discounts.” Manager Qian shook his head without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying knew that there was no room for negotiation. She turned her head and looked at Gu Ziyi.

Gu Ziyi hesitated for a moment and walked around the house again. After confirming that there was still water in the courtyard well, she finally nodded. “I will go with this.”

“Don’t you want to look at the others?” Zhou Ying asked.

“No, I’ll take it. It’s quiet here.” Gu Ziyi shook her head.

Soon after, Manager Qian went to find the owner, and the two sides quickly transferred the ownership.

As for the broker’s fee, it was paid by the seller. In the end, Zhou Ying treated them to a meal at the restaurant.

However, after the meal, Gu Ziyi insisted on paying the bill before leaving.

The following day, the couple first went to town to deal with their things, then prepared some dried fruits and candies before returning to the village.

Coincidentally, they bumped into Gu Ziyi, who was moving out. The two went up to greet her and then went their separate ways.

When they arrived at the Gu family mansion, the couple heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that the groom’s side of the family hadn’t arrived.

They passed the things they had prepared to Madam Qiao. “Grandma, we’re here.”

“Alright, alright. Come, have a seat. Did I bother your business?” Madam Qiao took the food with a smile and put it on the table. She called Gu Ziqiu over, “These are some snacks that your third brother prepared. Go and find a plate to put them on. When the groom’s family comes later, make sure to treat him well.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Thank you, third brother and third sister-in-law.” Gu Ziqiu took the things and ran away while blushing.

“Oh, look at her; she’s still blushing at this age.” With a smile, Madam Qiao said.

“Grandma, have you met the young man before?” Zhou Ying asked.

“I have, and he’s quite a spirited young man. He knows some martial arts, and you’ll definitely like him.” Just as she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao rushed back, each of them carrying many things in their arms.

Gu Chengxi followed behind with a large rooster in his hand.

When he saw the couple, he immediately put down the chicken and ran in. “Chengrui, sister-in-law, you’re early.”

“Did you go to town early in the morning?”

“Yes, I bought some things for the banquet.” At this point, Gu Chengxi pulled Gu Chengrui along and said, “Brother, let’s go and slaughter the chicken together.”

“So you came to find me to work.” Gu Chengrui glared at him, but he still got up and went out.

“Oh, right. Grandma, Where’s father and second uncle? Are they not at home?” Zhou Ying asked.

“They went to the fields as it was time to prune the chili buds. They couldn’t afford to hire workers, so the four of them went by themselves.” Madam Qiao continued with a smile, “It’s all thanks to you for the past two years. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have enough to eat.”
