Qin Ye fell silent for two seconds after hearing Qin Zhen’s words, then immediately looked up at Qin Zhen, "Then please lend it to me, but I’ll use a gold bar as collateral."
Qin Zhen was quite surprised, "Oh, collateral... What do you take me for? I don’t need it..."
"If you don’t accept it, then never mind, I’ll figure it out myself."
With that, Qin Zhen understood what he meant.
If she didn’t agree, then he wouldn’t ask Old Master Qin for money as he had just mentioned.
Indeed... She had heard that just yesterday Old Sir Qin had offered him money, but the young lad had refused, not taking even a single yuan.
He certainly had backbone.
To prevent him from actually selling that gold bar for cheap, she nodded, "Alright, we’ll do as you say."
"Good, thank you!" Qin Ye could have waited to buy, but he was very satisfied with this house.
Moreover, he believed his wife would like it too.
So he decided to buy it first.
As for asking Old Master Qin for money... Even if it were just borrowing, he had never considered it.
So, after Qin Zhen suggested this method, he agreed.
"Let’s do it this way, I’ll go talk to him." Qin Zhen walked back to the landlord, "Old Zhao, my brother has agreed to buy the house. Handle the paperwork and he’ll pay in full."
This made the landlord, Old Zhao, thrilled, "I think we still have time today, how about we do it now?"
"Sure, let’s meet at the real estate office in a little while." He still had to go home and get the money.
"Hey, alright, see you at the real estate office." After dropping that statement, Old Zhao happily prepared to leave.
Just as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned back, "Since you’re buying, I’ll give you the keys now. By the way, we’re leaving everything in every room in this courtyard for you. All of it is valuable stuff."
This was actually included in the bargaining, otherwise the price would have been a bit lower.
It was being sold as a bundle.
No choice, the items left in the house were bulky; even if he wanted to move them, he had nowhere to put them.
Selling them... Used items weren’t fetching good prices these days.
So they just set a lump-sum price.
The news that the property was for sale had been out for half a year, and many people had inquired.
But those who could pull out that much cash immediately were truly nonexistent.
Ordinary people... With this price, they couldn’t afford it even if the whole family worked for a lifetime.
Those slightly wealthy... They already had their own homes; why would they need another?
Fortunately, someone finally bought it, he couldn’t be happier.
Of course, he wanted to get this done today.
If it fell through... who knows how long it would take to find another buyer; his family urgently needed the money and couldn’t wait.
Qin Zhen stepped forward and took the keychain from his hand.
"Don’t joke with me, the things inside are of course included, otherwise, you’ll have to lower the price."
Old Zhao: ... "Then I’m leaving."
"Go on, hurry." Qin Zhen waved him off, then turned to Qin Ye, "Or do you want to go back first?"
"No need for the trip, I’ll go straight to the bank to withdraw money." Qin Ye fished out a hefty cloth bag from inside his clothes, "Here are three gold bars; I’m borrowing eight thousand five hundred yuan from you."
The amount necessary for the house was eight thousand, the extra five hundred was for something else.
Qin Zhen’s mouth twitched, was he really planning to sell the gold bars? Why else would he bring them with him?
"You have... ’gold blocks’?" My god, each a half-kilo, these aren’t bars.
"One is enough; you’ve given too much. All of these exceed the amount."
Three bars – that’s a whopping one and a half kilos.
My dear mother, he’s truly rich.
Qin Ye glanced at him, then pulled out one bar.
However, he kept that bar himself and handed the other two, along with the cloth bag, to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen wanted to say something else, but seeing his firm attitude, he could only accept it.
"Alright then, I’ll accept this and get your money."
Holding them was genuinely a bit heavy, he couldn’t imagine how he’d managed to carry them on his person.
A little less than half an hour later, the three of them had finished all the formalities at the real estate office.
It wasn’t supposed to go through today, but who can ignore that Qin Zhen had someone to help!
Taking the freshly issued title, Qin Ye directly pocketed it.
Qin Zhen glanced sideways at him, noting the joy in his features, then asked, "Buying a house is indeed a big event, should we inform Old Sir Qin?"
This needed to be asked, in case Qin Ye didn’t want him to. If Qin Zhen spoke first, Qin Ye would probably be upset.
But buying a house was a big deal; it was impossible for Old Sir Qin not to know.
Qin Ye nodded, "Yes." He had no intention of keeping the house purchase a secret.
"Alright, let’s do that. I’ll take you there, but don’t worry, if you don’t want to mention the borrowing, I won’t."
Qin Zhen, holding someone else’s gold block.
Never mind others, if his own grandfather and father found out, they would probably beat him.
"Thank you!" Qin Zhen said very earnestly.
"Tch, to get these two words from you is indeed not easy, but in the future, you don’t need to say them. After all, we are brothers." Though they were cousins, they were still the closest blood relatives in this world.
Qin Ye didn’t respond to that.
He was thinking about how, now that the house was purchased, they could also return home.
Qin Zhen: "Let’s go! We might as well head back now. If it gets any later, they’ll probably know without us saying anything."
"Okay." Qin Ye responded.
The two brothers returned home.
Old Sir Qin was there.
Seeing Qin Ye return, he immediately stood up.
However, this time, before he could speak, Qin Zhen quickly took the initiative, "Grandfather, Qin Zhen has bought a house. It’s just down the street behind us. Very close."
After saying this, he stealthily glanced at Old Sir Qin, worried that the old man might be angry.
"Mmm, good. Buying a house is good. Have all the procedures been completed?" Old Sir Qin looked at his eldest grandson.
His calm demeanor not only surprised Qin Zhen but Qin Ye was slightly startled as well.
However, he seriously nodded, "All the procedures have been finalized."
"That’s good. Later, when you come to Jing City, you can choose where to live." Although Old Sir Qin hoped his grandchildren would live together.
After all, they were family.
But after these past few days together, he also understood what kind of person his eldest grandson was.
If he didn’t want to live in the house here, it was no big deal; they could live separately for a while, and once they got used to life in Jing City, they could still move back together.
"Grandfather... Aren’t you angry?" Qin Zhen couldn’t help but ask.
