Zheng's sister-in-law took a look at her man's drinking state, pulled out a stool and sat on his right side.
"Wen Zhong, don't be offended."
"It's okay, my aunt, what do you think?"
"Your aunt said that renting this house would cost 1 yuan and 20 cents a month."
Zhou Wenzhong tapped his fingers on the table and asked: "The price is too expensive. Your family will never be able to rent it at this price. And if you rent out the house, there will be many problems."
Seeing that Zheng's sister-in-law was about to speak, Zhou Wenzhong said first, "Sister-in-law, please listen to me first."
"good."
"Look, the monthly rent for a house of this size allocated by the factory is just over 1 yuan. What kind of house is yours? A Western house! If my sister-in-law went to rent a house outside, would you choose this kind of house that is cold in winter and hot in summer?
?
And if someone rents your house, at least it must be someone who knows everything about it, right? If he smashes a window or opens a door in your house, do you agree? If he breaks something in the house, you still have to
If he chases after him, he will have to pay compensation. If he likes to bark in the middle of the night, the residents next door will definitely come to my Brother Zheng’s factory to make a fuss. If after living for a few days, he feels that this is not good in the house, that is not good, are you guys the same?
Responsible for repairing the house?
There are so many problems involved here, I can think of so many problems in just half a minute. If you rent it out, there will definitely be more and more troubles like this."
Zheng's sister-in-law didn't hear the coughing in the bedroom, and she already understood that her mother-in-law agreed with Zhou Wenzhong's statement.
"What you said makes sense. It's better to rent it out than to sell it out."
"This is called house donation, and we don't want to say the word [sell]. Sister-in-law, please don't make it a habit. If you get it right at the street office, there will be big problems."
"Yes, yes, donate. Your aunt said that it is a bit difficult to calculate the price when it comes to donations."
"What do you mean? I'm good at math, so I'll help my aunt do the calculations."
"Okay, just wait a moment."
Zheng's sister-in-law got up and went back to the bedroom and took out a large piece of paper. She simply cleaned the dining table and spread out the paper.
Zhou Wenzhong saw that it said "Land and Property Ownership Certificate", issued on February 12, 1950, located in the southwest of the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluogu Lane.
It faces an alley to the west, a road to the south, a courtyard wall to the north, and Sun Ankang to the east. It is made of sand bricks. The length and width of the house cover an area of 25.6 square meters, and the land area in front of the door is 14.22 square meters. The big red seal on this house deed has slipped away.
The color.
"Wenzhong, look here."
Zheng's sister-in-law pointed at the house deed and said: "The main reason is that the land area in the courtyard cannot be calculated. Or we can build a house and sell it, but this involves bricks, sand, and wood."
"It's easy to handle. One square meter of land can be settled for just 2 yuan."
With surprise on her face, Zheng's sister-in-law got up and ran back to the bedroom, then returned after a while.
"Your aunt said yes."
"What! I didn't say I wanted to buy it, I just said this method is okay. You have to negotiate the specific price with others."
"Ah? You don't want it?"
"Selling 1 square meter of land for 2 yuan? No fool is that stupid. You have to dig trenches, clear water to lay foundations, and get cement and sand. It doesn't matter that things are not cheap, but labor is even more expensive!
Nowadays, it only costs 4 or 5 yuan per square meter to buy a house outside. Even if our courtyard house does not cost more than 8 yuan per square meter at most. But if someone can sell a house for 8 yuan, it is definitely the price of the main house or the east wing.
, a house like yours belongs to the Western type of house.
The price is at most 5 yuan per square meter. This is definitely a sky-high price. And because you have a small yard at home, I also understand that you must have inquired about the price before coming to me.
This matter."
Zheng's sister-in-law sat down in despair, picked up Zheng Liugen's wine bowl and took a sip.
"Ha... our family has asked someone, and someone is willing to pay 4.8 yuan per square meter."
"hehe."
Zhou Wenzhong took a puff of cigarette and took another sip of wine unhurriedly.
"If my guess is correct, they haven't come to your house at all, right?"
"how do you know?"
"Haha, the price is set high for you, so that you can actively reject other people. When he comes, he will start to find faults. The beams of your house have cracked, your doors and windows are leaking, your walls are peeling, and your house is
Without a Tukang, scorpions can be dug out of the ground in your yard. This kind of house is too humid and uninhabitable. When the time comes, he will charge all the cost of renovating it to your house."
"Then we won't sell it!"
"The wind has leaked out. Even if you don't sell your house to him at that time, other people will not dare to buy it after knowing that it has so many problems. This is all an old trick of the old society."
Zheng Liugen was awakened by his wife's voice just now. He looked at the two people in the room, then lay down on the dining table with his arms as pillow and continued to sleep.
"Then what price can you offer?"
"The house area will be charged to you at 4 yuan and 50 cents per square meter, and the land area in the courtyard will be charged to you at 8 cents per square meter."
"No, no, I might as well sell it to Liu Haizhong."
"Huh? Liu Haizhong wants to buy your house?"
"He said it was a wedding room prepared for their eldest son."
"What price does Liu Haizhong offer?"
"The price is 140 yuan."
Zhou Wenzhong raised his neck and said: "No need to say anything, I want 140 yuan, no! I'll give you 144 yuan, I'm so mad at him. Liu Haizhong, an old gangster, dares to choke me."
, I won’t make steamed buns to argue with you, but I haven’t settled the account with him the night I came back from the farm! Do you know this? "
"Hey, everyone in the courtyard knows what happened the night you came back. The two of you almost raped him at that time."
"right!"
"Okay, let's just talk about this, but do you have so much money?"
"I will give you a deposit of 20 yuan now. If I can't get the remaining 124 yuan tomorrow, the deposit will be yours. Here!"
Zhou Wenzhong took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted out 20 yuan and slapped it on the dining table. He shouted towards the bedroom: "Auntie, let's go!"
"Okay, go back to bed early and don't cause trouble if you drink too much."
"Can you help me?"
Zheng's sister-in-law held Zheng Liugen, who had drunk too much, with one hand and replied: "No, I can do it myself."
Zhou Wenzhong nodded, picked up the white porcelain bowl on the table and asked, "Sister-in-law, this bowl was given to me."
"There are a few more in the cupboard. Use them if you want."
"No, no, this one bowl is enough. Let's meet at the door of the street office at 12:30 tomorrow noon."
"good."
"I'm leaving first, you guys can get busy."
"good."
Zhou Wenzhong took the bowl and opened the door curtain of Zheng's house, took a deep breath of fresh air and walked to the backyard.
"Dong dong... Is the old lady still asleep? I opened the door."
Zhou Wenzhong didn't wait for a reply, opened the door and walked in. He pulled up a stool and sat opposite the deaf old lady.
"Drinking corn mush again? That's right, that's all you have to say."
The deaf old lady first took a deep breath and put the porcelain spoon in her hand into the soup bowl.
"Why did you come to see me?"
"I just won a treasure while drinking. I heard that you also ate it before. I want you to show me if it's worth 300 yuan?"
Zhou Wenzhong pushed the white porcelain bowl in front of the deaf old lady, but the deaf old lady didn't even raise her eyes.
"My eyesight is no longer good, and besides, I don't have the ability."
"Yes. I think the police comrades must know this skill. How about I go find them and ask?"
"Why bother disturbing them at night? Since you let me see it, I will help you see it. If what I say is not accurate, don't blame me."
"cant!"
The deaf old lady held up the wine-smelling porcelain bowl on the table and looked at it over and over for half a minute. It was the most ordinary porcelain bowl, not even as good as the porcelain from Jingdezhen. The supply and marketing cooperative sold it for 3 cents each.
"How's it going, old lady? Is this porcelain bowl worth 300 yuan? Don't ever say that I got a prick in the eye. I'm young and can't stand the stimulation."
The deaf old lady put the bowl on the dining table, nodded and said, "It's worth 300 yuan."
"Very good! I've passed 200 yuan to you, so that you can also make a fortune."
Zhou Wenzhong took out his cigarette, struck a match and lit it.
"Huh... hurry up and get the money. You must understand that opportunities must never come back again."
"I have no money."
"If you don't have money, you can go to my uncle. He must be rich. There is no shop like this after my village."
"I didn't say I wanted to buy this porcelain bowl."
Zhou Wenzhong chuckled and stretched out his hand to scratch on the dining table.
"Dang... clatter." The pieces of the white porcelain bowl fell to the ground.
Zhou Wenzhong frowned and complained: "Tsk, tsk, tsk... How could you do this! If you don't want to buy it, then I won't buy it. I can go find another buyer, okay now? Look, you dropped my precious bowl.
Damn it. Just tell me what to do now? You have to pay me the original price of 300 yuan this time, otherwise I will take it to court. It just so happens that Red Star sent everyone to work the night shift."
"Okay, okay..."
The deaf old lady understood Zhou Wenzhong's threat. She stood up with the help of a cane, walked to the bed and took out a blue handkerchief bag from under the pillow. After peeling it open layer by layer, she took out 100 yuan and put it on the dining table.
"You borrowed 200 yuan from Xiao Yi before, plus my 100 yuan, is it enough to pay for your porcelain bowl?"
Zhou Wenzhong curled his lips and said angrily: "I am a stupid person, so I can't figure out these accounts at all. I asked him to come to me for his own accounts. Now we are talking about your accounts and mine. I will
Let me ask you a question, will you pay for the 300 yuan?"
"All my belongings are 107 yuan."
Zhou Wenzhong poked his finger at the dining table and shouted: "That means there is no more talk?"
"You can't just rely on your age to be unreasonable, right?"
"Aren't you making it clear that you are bullying me, Zhou Wenzhong, because I am young?"
"Just pay 100 yuan for something worth 300 yuan. Nan Batian is not as ruthless as you, right?"
"You sit here for a while, I'll call Xiao Yi over to discuss it."
"Oh... ok, ok, you are older and I have to let you go."
Zhou Wenzhong put his left elbow on the dining table to support his head, shook his legs, and watched the deaf old lady walk out of the main room.
