Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 299 Shop

The homeowner asked whether to buy a house or a shop?

Lin Qingyan looked at the old man in surprise. She thought he could only buy a shop, but she didn't expect that he could also buy a house?

She was asked to choose between buying a shop or a house? She didn't want to choose. Only children make choices. She was an adult. She wanted both.

So I asked uncertainly: "Uncle, are you selling your house too?"

"Aren't you here to buy a house?" the old man asked puzzledly.

"Uncle, we originally wanted to buy the shop, but if your house is for sale too, and if the price is right, we would like to buy it together."

The old man then looked at Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi carefully and said, "Girl, this house is my ancestral home. The house and the shop are both under my name. There is no other property dispute.

This three-story house costs twenty thousand, and the shop over there is not small either. The house in front used to be used for business, but now..."

The old man hesitated when he said this.

"I can give you a cheaper price of 15,000. This price is not expensive. There is a yard and a warehouse behind the shop.

There is also a well in the yard, so people can live in the shop. Although we can’t do business now, it is still very convenient for people to live in.

Girl, if you buy both together, the total is 35,000 yuan."

The old man was very straightforward and gave a price directly.

Lin Qingyan was very tempted, but she didn't have that much money.

The two branches she is planning to open now mainly rely on renting houses, and she cannot use the money from the photo studio to buy a store.

Then the store will only be their joint asset.

If one day they broke up, she would feel sad no matter if the shop was sold or converted into money.

But if she were asked to buy it herself, she wouldn't have that much money. She hadn't made much money in the past six months. Most of her income came from the cost of the film and photo paper she got from Hyundai in the 70s.

This money plus the money she had left was only about 20,000 yuan, which was far from 35,000 yuan.

If she were asked to give up this house, she would be reluctant to do so, because this house is better than her own in terms of location, layout and size.

"Can we go see the store?"

Lin Qingyan was silent for a long time, and finally chose a store first.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the shop."

The old man stood up, went back to the room, got a bunch of keys, and walked out.

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi followed the old man from the back of the alley and walked a few steps to the street.

Lin Qingyan's eyes looked at the house even more enthusiastically at this moment. The location was too good. She didn't need to go through the route she had just taken to enter the alley. It would be closer to go from the back.

Most of the shops along the street had their doors tightly closed, with only a few having their doors half-open.

The old man came to a shop in the middle of the street, took out his key and opened the door. A lot of dust was floating inside the door.

The old man coughed twice, stretched out his hands and fanned himself, as if he was reminiscing.

"This place used to be very lively, but in recent years... I won't go to the backyard, you can go in and take a look for yourselves."

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi walked into the yard from the back door. The yard was not big. There was a house that was shorter than the shop. It should be a warehouse.

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi looked at the size of the warehouse and then at the well in the yard. It was completely habitable here and it was very convenient with well water.

After reading it, Lin Qingyan wanted to buy both of them.

When Lin Qingyan came back after reading, the old man was sitting on the threshold of the shop, staring into the distance in a daze.

Lin Qingyan coughed lightly, and then he turned to look at them.

"Girl, do you want both?"

The old man looked at the two little girls and paused.

Although the two girls were neatly dressed, they were probably not from wealthy families. It was not realistic to buy a shop and a house with more than 30,000 yuan. He felt a little depressed and it was still a bit too much to hope for.

But when I think about my own children and their attitude after they knew I was sick, my heart becomes colder.

He was ill. When he was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, he heard his children quarreling. He wanted to speak up,

But after hearing what they said, I don't know why I continued to pretend not to wake up, and heard my children speaking their thoughts unscrupulously.

"Uncle, I don't have enough money to buy two. Can you keep the house and the shop for me first? We can go back and discuss it and decide whether to buy one or two, okay?"

Although the old man wanted to sell the house as soon as possible, he also knew that not everyone could come up with such a large sum of money all at once.

"Okay, I'll give you one day. You have to decide as soon as possible before the weekend and transfer the house before the weekend break. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to make the decision later."

The old man seemed to have thought of something.

"Uncle, didn't you say that the house is in your name? Are there no other disputes?"

Lin Qingyan is now a little worried about disputes over the house.

"It's my own name. There's no dispute about it now. It's just that I'm old now and my children think they can make the decision for me."

The old man said a few words, then stood up, closed and locked the door of the shop, and said to Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi:

"If you want the house, make a decision as soon as possible. I will sell it before the weekend, and the lowest price cannot be less than 30,000."

The old man walked down the steps and prepared to move forward. As if he had thought of something, he turned around and said to them:

"If you have precious medicinal herbs, you can also use them as payment."

This sentence directly reminded Lin Qingyan that if medicinal herbs can be used to pay for something, then wouldn’t her ginseng also be used to pay for something?

However, she still wanted to find someone to inquire about the old man's affairs to avoid any disputes in the future.

"What should we do now? Thirty thousand dollars is too much. If we just want to buy a shop, we can still chip in."

Ye Yi waited until the old man walked away before asking Lin Qingyan.

"I plan to buy the house and the shop myself, and then rent the shop to the photo studio at a normal rent."

Lin Qingyan knew that the money of Ye Yi and the others combined was not enough to buy a shop, so she didn't make things difficult for them.

"Are you going to buy it yourself? Do you have enough money? You can use the money I have here first."

Ye Yi directly told Lin Qingyan how much money she had in total.

"Not for now, let's go find out if there are any other problems with this house.

Judging from the old man's appearance, his children may not be easy to talk to, and they may also be trouble for the house in the future."

"Where should we go to find out?"

"Let's go to the place where the old lady who showed us the way just now lives. It's a large compound with a mixed population. It should be easier to get information there.

If we can't find out there, we can go to the Housing Authority and ask. Since the old man wants to sell the house before the weekend, the Housing Authority should also have registered the sale information."

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi did not take the same route they came from. Instead, they walked slowly along this street, observing the surrounding environment.
