Chapter 502 Ning Qiancheng Purchases a Residence
To avoid bothering two people, after Aunt Ling left, Wenwen and the others went out of the house to find Aunt Xu.
Upon seeing them, Huang Damao and his wife happily handed the storage bag to Wenwen, saying, "Little fellow Daoist, all the medicinal herbs are here. Please take a look."
"Thank you, uncle and aunt."
After taking it, Wenwen handed Huang Damao a bottle of pills. "Uncle, there are spirit-replenishing pills in this bottle. Please keep it safe!"
"Huh?" Huang Damao was stunned for a moment before he realized what he meant. "Oh!"
The next second, Huang Damao and his wife actually knelt down in front of the Wen siblings, and not only that, they also pulled Huang Xiaoyang and Huang Xiaoduo along.
"Oh dear, uncle and aunt, what are you doing? Get up, get up!"
The three siblings were startled and quickly moved aside.
However, Huang Damao and the others still expressed their heartfelt gratitude.
"Many thanks to the young Daoist Wen family members. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask. Huang and his family will do our best to handle it. We will never forget your kindness..."
"..." Wenwen: "Uncle and Aunt, please get up first. We have a favor to ask of you."
After everyone sat down around the stone table.
Wenwen then asked about what Aunt Ling had just mentioned.
"The fat old lady and Da Niu went hunting a month ago and were injured by a monster. They died a few days after they returned."
Aunt Xu said, "It was the fate of the mother and daughter. Niu Dali had gone out with the hunting team and was supposed to return in ten days. But the mother and daughter ignored everyone's advice and secretly went into the Monster Forest to pick spirit fruits. Unexpectedly, they angered a monster that guarded the spirit fruits. As a result, the mother and daughter died because of their greed. By the time Niu Dali returned home from hunting, they had both been dead for several days."
"Sigh, what was once a happy and harmonious family has fallen apart."
"Auntie, have you ever been to their house?"
Wenwen asked directly, "How large is it? Where is it located? Is it far from here?"
Reading between the lines, Aunt Xu asked, "What, you want to buy it?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Wenwen smiled sheepishly. "If my family wants to come to the city for a few days in the future, it would be good to have a place to stay."
Upon hearing his words, Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin exchanged a glance and hurriedly turned to look at the sky.
Buying the house was a last-minute decision by Wenwen, and they haven't had time to discuss what they'll use it for yet.
All they knew was that they should follow their third uncle's example and buy a suitable courtyard first. They would just listen to their sister, Wenwen, on this trip, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
"If you're interested, I can take you there to take a look."
Aunt Xu looked at the door and said, "It's not far. Just cross this block and it's the first shop at the next intersection."
Wenwen looked at her two older brothers, who nodded, and then she said, "Then I'll trouble you to take us there, Auntie."
"No trouble, no trouble."
After saying that, Aunt Xu led her siblings out the door and headed towards Niu Dali's house.
After a quarter of an hour, the group arrived at a house.
The gate to the courtyard was not closed, and several voices could be heard coming from inside.
"Fellow Daoists, look, this house is square and neat, with five or six rooms inside and out, and it's fully furnished. You don't need to bring anything; just move in with your bags. Isn't that wonderful?"
"It's good, but the price is still a bit high. How about you give me a discount?"
“Fellow Daoist, this price is really very favorable. If the homeowner hadn’t been in a hurry to leave, it wouldn’t be this price. You can see the location and environment here. The main street is not far away, and the farmers’ market is just a little further ahead. It’s simply a prime location for living. You can ask the homeowners in the neighborhood. Actually, this price is already very favorable.”
"Okay, we'll go back and discuss it. We'll contact you again when we're ready to buy. That's all for now, we'll be going now."
As soon as he finished speaking, five or six people came out of the house.
The group then left, leaving behind a young man in a blue shirt.
"Shunzi, Niu Dali entrusted this house to you for sale?" Aunt Xu asked.
"Hmm, Aunt Xu, what's this?" the young man Shunzi asked.
"Hey, I just heard Linghua talking about Niu Dali," Aunt Xu said with a smile. "My relative is looking to buy a house, so I brought him over to take a look."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Shunzi, can we go in and take a look?"
"Auntie, you're too kind. Fellow Daoists who are interested in buying are all welcome. Please come in, everyone!" Shunzi warmly invited everyone inside.
The courtyard is twice the size of the Huang family's small courtyard. The layout of the courtyard and rooms resembles a traditional courtyard house. There are three main rooms, two side rooms on each side, and a woodshed and an outhouse at the back. So, this courtyard has more than just five or six rooms; it has at least eight or nine rooms in total.
After looking around, Wenwen had a good idea of what was going on. She gave Aunt Xu a wink, and Aunt Xu immediately understood.
"Shunzi, to be honest, how much are you planning to ask for this house?" Aunt Xu laughed and said, "Don't try to rip me off, I'm not an outsider who doesn't know the market."
"Well..." Shunzi thought for a few moments and said, "Auntie, we're all neighbors, so I'll be frank with you. Is this price okay?"
After saying that, Shunzi gestured a number with his hand.
Then, Aunt Xu also gestured a number with her hand.
So the two of them started haggling back and forth.
After a moment, Shunzi sighed and said, "Oh dear, that's settled then. I won't take your commission. This is the amount. If it works out, great; if not, forget it."
Looking at the numbers Shunzi was gesturing, Aunt Xu turned to look at Wenwen, who nodded in agreement.
Aunt Xu readily agreed, "Okay, that's the amount. Tell Niu Dali to come back and complete the formalities."
"Alright! I'll tell Brother Niu to come back."
After Shunzi finished speaking, he took out a communication talisman and activated it.
Soon, Niu Dali rushed back, panting heavily.
"Shunzi, has the house been sold?"
Niu Dali started shouting even before he entered the door.
When he entered the room and saw Aunt Xu and Wenwen and the others, he paused for a moment before saying, "Auntie's here? What's this?"
Aunt Xu: "Dali, where did you rush back from? This guy looks exhausted!"
Niu Dali: "Phew—I've been wandering around the Monster Forest these past few days. Then, after receiving Shunzi's message, I rushed back in a hurry. Phew—"
There was tea on the table, and Shunzi handed him a cup. "Have some water, take a break, and then we'll talk."
Niu Dali took the cup, nodded apologetically to Wenwen and her siblings before drinking the tea. After a while, once he had caught his breath, he said somewhat awkwardly to Aunt Xu, "Auntie, you know the condition of this house. I didn't ask for a high price. This, this..."
"Dali, your aunt understands."
Aunt Xu pointed at Wenwen and her siblings and said, "These are my relatives. They're the ones who bought your house. Do you have anything else to do? If not, let's go and complete the formalities now."
