Chapter 201: Give Me Two Units

~7 min read 1,272 words

Seeing she still wanted to continue introducing the house's situation, Ye Cheng directly stopped her, "Alright, just tell me the price, I've already seen the house."

The layout of this kind of house is pretty much the same, no two bathrooms, no dressing room, no big bay window, nothing much to talk about.

Emphasizing practicality, a 53-square-meter house actually feels like an 80-square-meter one from later times.

"As for the price, since it's a school district house, it's a bit more expensive—2200 per square meter, total price 116,600 yuan."

"How much?" When Xiao Chen announced the price, Jiang Yunxiang let out a gasp.

Over ten thousand!

That's way too expensive—you could buy two boats with that.

She turned to look at Ye Cheng, face full of panic, "A Cheng, it's over ten thousand!"

Seeing Jiang Yunxiang like that, Liu Sister smiled smugly, deliberately raising her voice to say to her own client,

"'Brother Zhao, over ten thousand is already cheap; those earlier units were even more expensive, you know that.'"

Brother Zhao nodded, turned to look at his wife, "What do you think, 110,000? We'll pay a 30% down payment, then make monthly payments, and it'll be about paid off in 20 years."

Brother Zhao's wife hesitated for a while, unable to make a decision.

Seeing her hesitate, Liu Sister jumped on the opportunity, "Exactly, sister-in-law, after buying it might even appreciate, and the kid could get into No. 1 High School—it's worth it."

At the same time, Xiao Chen saw the middle-aged couple over there hesitating, then glanced at her own client, estimating they probably couldn't afford it.

She put on a smile and continued, "Big brother, big sister, if you think this is expensive, you can look at non-school-district houses—they'd be fifty percent cheaper."

"'Expensive? I didn't say it's expensive.' Ye Cheng said calmly, 'Just give me two units—this one and the one across the hall—so I can live near my older brother and mooch meals.'"

"'Two... two units?' Xiao Chen went dumbfounded, head buzzing, she raised two fingers, 'Big brother, you said you want to buy two units?'"

"'Yes, two units, this one and the one across.' Ye Cheng repeated it again."

Jiang Yunxiang nervously looked at Ye Cheng, sweat beading on her forehead, "A Cheng, over ten thousand for two units—did you make a mistake? We can't afford that."

Over there, Liu Sister and the middle-aged couple, upon hearing Ye Cheng wanted to buy two units, were stunned at first, then quickly reacted.

Two units would cost over 200,000; even the down payment would be several tens of thousands—do these people look like they could afford that?

No.

Liu Sister walked over with a regretful expression and said to Ye Cheng, "You said you want to buy two units, right? Then take out your money so we can see."

Ye Cheng calmly pulled out a bank card from his pocket, looked at Liu Sister, and said, "The card is right here—two units, got it?"

After saying that, he deliberately emphasized his tone while pointing at Xiao Chen, "But I'm buying with her, not you—understand?"

"'Just pulling out a card is enough—who knows if there's money in it.' Liu Sister still didn't believe it; she didn't trust her own eyes."

"'Yeah, A Cheng, do you have enough money? I only have 10,000 yuan on me.' Jiang Yunxiang said softly."

"'Sister-in-law, don't worry, I don't need your money—I have enough.'"

"'Besides, whether this card has money or not, I can just swipe it back.' Ye Cheng said to Liu Sister."

"'Big brother, are you really going to buy?' Seeing Ye Cheng's bank card in his hand, Xiao Chen half-believed it but still couldn't believe it, her voice trembling."

"'Yes, two units—with a 30% down payment, let's sign the contract now, 30-year mortgage, you handle it, hurry up with the paperwork, I have something else later.' After saying that, Ye Cheng directly handed the card to Xiao Chen."

Liu Sister was dumbfounded—this was really happening.

This country bumpkin.

How is that possible?

At a 2% commission, two units 220,000—this comes to 4,400 yuan right away.

That's three months of my salary.

This Brother Zhao of mine, I've been with him for almost three months, and he still couldn't decide to buy, but Ye Cheng shows up and buys two units—where did this rich guy come from?

Liu Sister gave Ye Cheng a fawning glance, "Um, big brother, Xiao Chen isn't familiar with the business, let me help you handle it."

Saying that, she snatched the bank card from Xiao Chen's hand; Xiao Chen looked completely bewildered, not daring to resist.

Ye Cheng's face darkened, he bluntly took the bank card back from her hand, "I said Xiao Chen would handle it—so Xiao Chen will handle it."

"'Besides, I've already reserved these two units—take your clients elsewhere to look.'"

Liu Sister's face was mortified; she glanced at Ye Cheng and could only slink away with her clients.

"'Thank you, big brother.' Xiao Chen looked at the bank card in her hand and thanked him gratefully."

"'No problem, hurry up with the paperwork—we have something else this afternoon.'"

After viewing the house, Ye Cheng and company followed Xiao Chen back, and along the way Jiang Yunxiang remained worried sick.

"'Sister-in-law, rest assured, I have over ten thousand in my card; paying the down payment poses no problem, and the remaining balance isn't a big deal either.'"

With such a small balance, Ye Cheng believes it'll be paid off in at most a year.

Following Xiao Chen back to the shop, the young lady started fumbling around looking for things—you could tell she really didn't know what she was doing.

After roughly two hours, by mealtime they finally finished the basic paperwork; Ye Cheng paid 30%, about 70,000 yuan.

Savings left 52,000, external debt 40,000, mortgage 150,000—plus interest it's nearly 300,000.

This is the first step of the procedures; after signing and getting the certificate later, we'll have to come again.

Walking out of the agency, Jiang Yunxiang was still muddle-headed, she muttered softly,

"'We just spent 70,000 yuan, and now we owe someone 300,000?'"

For a while, Ye Cheng estimated Jiang Yunxiang couldn't adapt yet—let her get used to it slowly.

Ye Cheng picked up Dou Dou, "Dou Dou, say, what do you want to eat for lunch? Second Uncle will take you to eat, and let Little Tiger Uncle foot the bill."

Xiao Hu gave Ye Cheng a speechless look, "What for?"

"I spent so much money today—I ought to have you treat me."

Dou Dou couldn't care less who's treating; he only eats one thing: KFC.

The four of them ate KFC for a hundred yuan; mainly Xiao Hu ate a lot—one person had two burgers and still wasn't satisfied.

After eating, Jiang Yunxiang felt like going home—mainly because today was too shocking; the excitement she felt when she went out this morning was completely crushed by the 300,000 yuan mortgage.

Sister-in-law, Xiao Liang had the surgery a couple days ago; let's buy some things to go see him, then we can head back, okay?

Ah? Xiao Liang had the surgery? Then we must go see him; come on, what should we buy?

When mentioning the villagers, Jiang Yunxiang felt revived.

Let's buy some milk to nourish the body; fruit and such probably can't be eaten.

The hospital where Xiao Liang was hospitalized was not far; after buying some milk, a few people went there, entered a three-person ward, and upon entering saw a small figure lying asleep on the hospital bed, with Zhang Guafu wearily sitting at the bedside watching.
