"Big sister, could you first ask if the homeowner is willing to negotiate the price? I’ll come back another day," she said as she was about to leave.
Although she really wanted to buy the house, she didn’t have enough money on hand, so there was no point in rushing. She had to go back and figure out a way to raise the money!
Chiang Xiao’s mind had already started to calculate.
Perhaps she could find He Jin and take a few of her paintings to sell on consignment at Mingchen Studio? See if she could sell them!
However, that might not be quick enough unless He Jin liked them and decided to buy them for her in advance.
Or maybe she could find a place to sell more wild game?
But that might not be possible to arrange in time either.
"Little sister, hey, little sister, wait a moment," Sister-in-law Zhang called after her urgently. Although Chiang Xiao was young, she truly seemed the most willing to buy among all those who had come to see the house.
In this day and age, it was rare to find someone ready to spend so much money on a house!
Actually, if it weren’t for her off-key and fiercely strong mother-in-law, Sister-in-law Zhang would have felt no rush and could have waited for a buyer.
But that wasn’t an option.
Hadn’t you seen she was now wearing the keys around her neck?
She was afraid that her mother-in-law and Zhang Xiaomei would take the keys, open the door, and just move in!
If she let them move in, then kicking them out later would not be so easy!
With a mother-in-law like hers, who knew what disaster she could bring upon the house!
Sister-in-law Zhang was under a lot of pressure; getting rid of this hot potato soon would indeed be a blessing.
That’s why she quickly stopped Chiang Xiao.
"Here’s the deal, I’ll decide now to give you a discount! I’ll have to explain things clearly to my uncle afterward."
Chiang Xiao was still thinking about how to make money, and she looked back at her somewhat blankly.
Sister-in-law Zhang said, "Nine thousand five, I’ll sell the house to you!"
Nine thousand five was really a bargain.
"Nine thousand, so I can save some money to properly renovate the house. Big sister, if you agree, I’ll call the adults from my family to handle the paperwork," Chiang Xiao replied.
That was a thousand less all of a sudden!
In fact, Sister-in-law Zhang’s target price was around nine thousand three.
But after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, nine thousand it is! When will you come over?"
"Does it have to be all paid in full?"
"Of course, if it’s not paid in full, do you think you can pay in installments?" Sister-in-law Zhang laughed.
Chiang Xiao thought to herself, you don’t know, but in the future, there really will be installment payments.
"Then let’s come over the day after tomorrow morning. After all, we need to prepare a bit for such a sum of money," Chiang Xiao said, wishing she could secure the house immediately, but alas, she didn’t have enough money!
"Alright, I’ll get the contract and everything ready. Make sure you definitely come over the day after tomorrow morning, little sister," Sister-in-law Zhang must have been worried about the deal falling through.
After leaving, Chiang Xiao hurried to the Xue Family’s place.
Ge Liutao and Madam Xue had indeed returned.
Madam Xue was sighing to Xue Ping, saying that even though Ge Liutao seemed very honest and timid, she was incredibly persistent when shopping at the department stores, and she wouldn’t even let her pay for a head ornament they picked out for Chiang Xiao.
Meanwhile, Xue Liujin was chatting spiritedly with Chiang Songhai.
In just a night and a day, the changes in Xue Liujin were quite noticeable.
Yesterday, he had looked utterly devoid of essence, qi, and spirit, but now, he spoke with substantial energy, and although his complexion was still not great, it was definitely not as frightening as before.
While he chatted with Chiang Songhai, he held the cup that Chiang Xiao had given him, sipping on the Ganoderma water.
