The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xu Xiufang observed carefully and found that there were buildings on the east, west and north sides of the house. On the north side were two bright main rooms and a spacious living room, on the east side were three bedrooms, and on the west side was a clever layout of one room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

In the backyard, a medium-sized vegetable garden and a toilet add to the practicality and convenience of life.

Compared to expectations, the conditions here are far better than expected. Although the structure is a bit old, it can be completely renewed with a little renovation.

The most attractive thing is its superior geographical location.

Although it is located in the countryside, it is only a ten-minute walk from Jingshi University.

Considering the potential for future development of the University of Tokyo, even if the campus expansion does not reach here, the surrounding areas will inevitably develop along with its value.

Whether from the perspective of living or investment, this property undoubtedly has extremely high appreciation potential.

Based on the current actual situation and the optimistic forecast for the future real estate market, Xu Xiufang made a decision in her heart - buy it!

The sellers were a simple mother and son. They were surprised and excited that a rural property could be traded and sold at a good price.

The two men exchanged glances, then nervously and excitedly quoted a price, "Five thousand... Fifteen thousand..." Their voices even trembled a little due to being too nervous and excited.

"one thousand!"

Xie Yi bargained without hesitation, his tone firm and confident.

Upon hearing this, the mother and son looked at each other, obviously not expecting such a response.

Xu Xiufang, who was standing by, finally couldn't help but chuckle. She felt surprised and amused by this unexpected bargaining success.

"You guys are cutting too hard," the old lady pouted, tapping her cane with her withered hands, muttering with some dissatisfaction in her eyes, "Our yard is very spacious, and there is a green vegetable garden behind the house. It is close to Peking University and has a good feng shui. The price is one thousand four hundred yuan, which is already a rare bargain!"

"One thousand and one hundred," Xu Xiufang responded with a chuckle, with a hint of cunning between her eyebrows.

She carefully looked at the old house in front of her, which was mottled and full of age, and continued, "Admittedly, this house occupies a large area, but the traces of time are too heavy, and it is also a considerable expense to maintain it. Even though it is close to Peking University and has an obvious geographical advantage, if it is to be rented out, given the conditions of this small courtyard, the monthly rent is probably only about 60 to 70 yuan. Do the math, how long will it take to get your money back? Besides..."

Xu Xiufang's eyes drifted off into the distance, as if she was thinking about something deeper. She said slowly, "There should be quite a few people in the village who want to buy this kind of property now, right? You guys know the market conditions."

At that time, house transactions had not yet become the norm. The mother and son clearly realized that the buyer in front of them might be willing to give up, so they quickly changed their words: "One thousand two hundred yuan, this is our bottom line!"

"make a deal!"

Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang smiled at each other, secretly happy.

This price just met their budget, so the deal was a perfect match.

However, just when the other party thought the deal was about to be completed smoothly, Xu Xiufang took out two prepared contracts from her bag and suggested with a smile: "Auntie and brother, let's write it down in black and white? This way, everyone will feel at ease."

The mother and son looked surprised, then laughed and said, "It doesn't have to be so formal, right? We will sell it if we say so, and we will never regret it!"

For them, although this old house, which carries countless memories, is old, since they have decided to let it go, they have no attachment to it and being able to sell it is already a pleasant surprise.

Xu Xiufang knows very well that rural properties are different from those in cities. There is a lack of formal property certificates. All that is available is the right to use the homestead, and the transfer of this right is subject to many restrictions and must be transferred together with the house.

If a formal sales contract is not signed, if a dispute arises in the future, the buyer will definitely suffer.

"Aunt and brother are honest people, so I can trust them," Xu Xiufang's smile was like the warm spring sun, warm yet smart, "But, in business, it is important to clearly mark the price and put it in writing, this is good for everyone!"

Faced with Xu Xiufang's insistence, the mother and son weighed the pros and cons and finally agreed.

They put their fingerprints on the contract, one copy was kept by Xu Xiufang, and the other was given to them as proof.

With the money in hand, the two left with smiles on their faces.

Xu Xiufang raised the contract in her hand and raised her eyebrows proudly at Xie Yi, "We made a lot of money from this deal!"

Xie Yi put his arm around her shoulders lovingly, "We've made a lot of money since we found those antiques. Have you forgotten?"

When talking about antiques, Xu Xiufang's face also breaks into a bright smile.

At first there were just two packages of inconspicuous items, and then Xie Yi collected a lot more through various means.

When he learned that Xu Xiufang was "Old Black" and foresaw the potential value of these antiques, he purchased a large number of them through black market channels and stored them all in Xu Xiufang's space.

The various treasures added together are enough to open a small museum!

Speaking of the past, Xu Xiufang couldn't help but recall the excuse Xie Yi used to use 10,000 yuan to buy antiques.

Although she knew that Xie Yi didn't know her true identity at that time, she couldn't help but playfully pinch the soft flesh on Xie Yi's waist as a small revenge.

"Oh, my wife!"

Xie Yi begged for mercy in pain, secretly cursing himself for bringing up such a topic. He was so blind that he didn't realize that his "Old Black" was actually the person next to him! He quickly promised: "When you go back to school, I will definitely find more treasures for you!"

"Really?"

Xu Xiufang let go of her hand, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Absolutely true!"

Xie Yi nodded repeatedly with a firm attitude.

"Brother Yi, you are awesome!"

Xu Xiufang's face instantly brightened, and she took his arm, her smile more beautiful than that of a spring flower.

Xie Yi looked at his wife, who was as bright as spring, and his heart was filled with tenderness and sweetness.

"Now, should we start cleaning up this new home?"

Xu Xiufang looked at the slightly dilapidated old house, her eyes full of longing.

Xie Yi shook his head gently, "You don't have to do it yourself, I can ask the boys at home to come over and help clean it up."

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and a hint of helplessness and relief flashed in her eyes.

But after dinner, as the last rays of the setting sun gradually disappeared below the horizon, Zhou Lijuan gently pulled Xu Xiufang's wrist, with an unspeakable embarrassment in her eyes, and said shyly: "Xiufang, you really didn't decide to move out because of my mom's... words, right?"

There seemed to be a subtle emotion frozen in the air.

"Sister-in-law," Xu Xiufang stopped and answered seriously with sincerity and determination in her eyes, "I really don't do this because of my aunt. We just want to have an independent little world where the children can grow up freely."

Her words were like a warm spring breeze, blowing away the worries in Zhou Lijuan's heart.
