Chapter 232 The price of the house has been almost negotiated
Nurse Zhao saw that Shen Jiaren's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and even the expression on her face was getting happier. She couldn't help but secretly pull Shen Jiaren, wanting her to restrain her facial expression. Otherwise, if she acted so pleased now, how would she bargain with the other party later?
When Shen Jiaren felt Nurse Xiao Zhao secretly pulling her, she looked at her curiously, ready to ask what was going on, but ended up seeing Aunt Tian's satisfied look on her face.
Shen Jiaren knew that the deal was spoiled, and she acted too satisfied. She didn't know if she would be able to bargain later.
Auntie Tian, "Xiao Zhao, I see your friend is quite satisfied. Have you told her about my conditions?"
Nurse Xiao Zhao said, "I have to say it first, otherwise both families will be excited for nothing."
Aunt Tian nodded. Although Nurse Zhao was sometimes not very smart, she was quite trustworthy at other times.
Shen Jiaren asked, "Aunt, how is the bath water finally drained away? Is it in the same pool as the toilet or is it separate?"
Auntie Tian, "It's separate and connected to the drainage ditch on the road outside. But my son said there's something that won't allow backflow, it just allows drainage.
He also said there was something else, but I didn’t remember it.”
Shen Jiaren nodded. She was indeed satisfied, but she didn't know if she could get a lower price.
Besides, in these houses, except for the tables, chairs and benches in the main house, the rest had been moved out, so he asked, "Aunt, I really think they are good, please give me a sincere price."
Aunt Tian's face showed no expression or movement, but her favorability towards Shen Jiaren increased a lot.
"Xiao Zhao should have told you that I am going to join the army. First, my daughter-in-law and son both work, and my daughter-in-law is about to give birth. After the birth, there will be no one to take care of the child, so I am going to help. Second, I am an old woman living alone in such a courtyard, and my relatives are worried about me. Although I have a son who is a soldier, he is far away and cannot take care of me.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I didn’t want to add any burden to my son, so I sold the house directly and took the money with me so that I could better help my son and daughter-in-law.
After you look at the house, you will know that the price of this house is really not high, and if there are national tickets or something like that, it will be a little cheaper. "
Shen Jiaren nodded.
Auntie Tian saw that Shen Jiaren didn't say anything, so she asked directly, "If you want to get a bargain, what national tickets can you offer?"
Shen Jiaren, "Aunt, tell me what kind of tickets you want, then I can know if I have them, or if I can find someone to exchange them for. If you let me know, I have quite a lot of tickets, and they are indeed all national tickets."
When Auntie Tian heard that Shen Jiaren had a lot of national tickets, she asked directly, "Then I want brown sugar tickets, cotton tickets, and cloth tickets. Do you have any?"
Nurse Xiao Zhao exclaimed, "Brown sugar? Cotton? Tickets for these two items are hard to find.
Brown sugar has always been hard to find, and cotton is already scarce, and now that winter is approaching, it is even scarcer.”
Auntie Tian said embarrassedly, "My daughter-in-law is pregnant now, so we need to prepare more for her.
I know it's difficult. After all, I have been saving brown sugar and cotton tickets for a long time but haven't saved much.
Isn't this just a matter that I want to exchange with you?"
Shen Jiaren counted the bills in her hand and said, "I have brown sugar bills, cotton bills, and cloth bills, but the quantity is not large.
For example, there are six kilograms of brown sugar. As for cotton, there are about twenty kilograms. As for cloth, I haven’t paid attention to it. Anyway, I have saved all the cloth coupons I received before. "
When Aunt Tian and Xiao Zhao heard that Shen Jiaren had so many brown sugar and cotton coupons, they were shocked. After all, half a pound of brown sugar was very rare at that time, and she was selling six pounds at once.
Shen Jiaren looked at the two people and was a little shocked. She then said, "I actually still have some loose brown sugar. Not much, five pounds. Do you want any?"
When Auntie Tian heard that there was brown sugar in addition to the tickets, she grabbed Shen Jiaren's arm and said, "Auntie will take all of them, don't give them to anyone else.
I want them all. If it doesn't work, I can buy them with money."
Shen Jiaren was frightened when Aunt Tian pulled her arm suddenly.
Auntie Tian saw Shen Jiaren was startled and said embarrassedly, "Auntie didn't mean it, I was just too excited.
You don’t know, but my aunt has been changing the brown sugar since she found out her daughter-in-law was pregnant. It’s been six months now, and she has only found a ticket for one and a half kilograms of brown sugar.
You didn't say that you have six kilograms of brown sugar tickets, but you actually have five kilograms of brown sugar.
With your brown sugar, my aunt and daughter-in-law will have a good time during the confinement period.
I really want it. I want all the brown sugar in your hand. See how I can exchange it."
Shen Jiaren chuckled and said, "Aunt, are you anxious?
The tickets I mentioned were taken out just to buy your yard."
After hearing what Shen Jiaren said, Auntie Tian slapped her forehead and said, "Auntie was really worried when she heard that you had so much brown sugar.
I forgot about selling the house.
If you take into account all what you just said, your kindness will not be in vain. I will give you a discount of 80 yuan, and the room price will be 220 yuan.
As for the cloth coupons you mentioned, go back and count how many you have. Auntie won’t let you suffer any loss.”
Shen Jiaren didn't know whether the price given by Aunt Tian was appropriate, so she looked at Nurse Xiao Zhao.
When Nurse Xiao Zhao heard that Aunt Tian had lowered the price so much, she nodded to Shen Jiaren.
Auntie Tian saw that Shen Jiaren was unsure and looked at Nurse Xiao Zhao, and said directly to Nurse Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, you heard my offer, and I was offering it sincerely.
No intentional overpricing.
This is also the lowest price that my aunt can give for the things Xiao Shen has given.
She didn't say how many cloth coupons she had, so her aunt couldn't give her a price.
You take her back and sort out the cloth coupons. Auntie will take as many as she can and won't let you suffer any loss.
As for the price of the cloth coupons, I will include it in the house price in the end.
Also, the set of furniture in my main room was passed down from my ancestors, so I’ll give it to you as a gift.
What do you think, Auntie, this is sincere enough, isn't it? "
Nurse Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "Indeed, the price Auntie gave is a genuine price."
Auntie Tian, "Okay, I won't say anything more. Look around the house and see if there's anything you want to see or are curious about. I'll take you around.
If you are not curious or want to see anything else, just let Xiao Shen go back and sort out the cloth coupons.
Especially get the brown sugar tickets, brown sugar, and cotton tickets.
Just in case someone else intercepts it."
Shen Jiaren laughed when she heard this, "Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely use these tickets and things to buy a house first.
If it weren’t for this house purchase, I would definitely not have taken it out.
Auntie, don't worry, I'll go back and sort it out, and then I'll come to see you."
When Aunt Tian heard what Shen Jiaren said, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
This is really like sending a pillow to someone when they are sleepy.
After both parties agreed, Nurse Xiao Zhao took Shen Jiaren out.
After walking a distance away from the yard, Xiao Zhao asked,
"Xiao Shen, why do you have so many brown sugar tickets?"
Shen Jiaren, "I have a martyr subsidy, and I save the bills from each subsidy. Except for a few times when I received bills that were not national bills, I have slowly saved the rest.
I saved so much that I have accumulated so much.
As for money, it may not work, because I spend too much.”
After listening to Shen Jiaren's words, Nurse Xiao Zhao started to think about it.
No matter how high the martyr subsidy is, it is not as good as a formal job.
I have been working for so long and have salary in the form of money and receipts, but now I have no money or receipts at all.
Even so, I would occasionally go home to eat, or my uncle, aunt, and brother would often send me money and bills.
Then why can't I get anything out now?
Nurse Xiao Zhao thought for a long time about where her money had gone. After thinking for a long time, she realized that she had not spent much at all. It seemed that all the money had been borrowed by Jiang Rong.
