Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 390 Good News from the Dental Clinic

"Don't treat me like an outsider without saying a word and try to piece together a solution yourself."

"If that's the case, I'll be angry."

As He said this, she looked at Shen Yu who was smiling beside her and couldn't help but poke Shen Yu's forehead with her finger.

Shen Yu cried out "Ouch" and covered his forehead.

One hand coquettishly held He's arm: "Sister, you are too strong, look, it's all red."

He believed it and thought she had used too much force, so she nervously pulled away Shen Yu's hand that was covering her forehead.

Looking closely, Shen Yu's forehead was white and smooth, without even a red spot.

When he looked at Shen Yu's cunning face and smiling at him, he realized that he had been fooled.

I couldn't help but feel angry and amused, and couldn't help but poke her again: "You little girl, you actually lied to me."

The two sisters were laughing and making a lot of noise in the car.

Even the uncle sitting on the shaft driving the cart couldn't help but smile when he heard the clear laughter.

He waved his whip in the air, making a loud whip flower and shouted "Gee", and the big blue mule in front of the cart ran even faster, leaving behind the sound of crisp hooves along the way.

After a few days, the market returned to its normal pace, but the number of merchants coming and going began to decrease.

The merchants coming from the north all said with a smile that after this trip, they would come back next spring.

They wanted to take the money they earned and go home to spend the winter and New Year before the snow blocked the roads.

Good news also came from the pawnshop, and He and Shen Yu were notified to come to the pawnshop. The six households had all agreed to sell.

After noon that day, Shen Yu and Li took the silver bills and went to the pawnshop with He.

Jin Daren still had a smiling face. He asked Shen Yu and the other two to sit down, served them tea, and then began to talk fluently.

He first talked about how hard it was to find the two residents who no longer lived there.

How to convince them to sell.

How to negotiate a good price.

Although these two houses are slightly taller than the others, they have been renovated and will not leak, so they can be used as warehouses.

All in all, without him, the price would not have been negotiated at all.

Shen Yu listened patiently at first, but later he couldn't help it anymore, so he exchanged glances with He while Jin Daren was taking a break with tea.

He also felt that Jin Daren had done enough to show off his achievements, so she smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jin. So how much is the final price?"

Jin Daren smiled and quoted the base price: "One hundred and eighty taels of silver in total."

"Two of them are twenty taels, two are thirty taels, and two are forty taels."

"The last two are forty taels each. Ladies, don't think they are too expensive."

"First, the house is good and has been renovated before, so we can just take it and use it."

"Second, one of them has a big yard with blue bricks all over the ground, and the other has a well. When the team brings goods here, they can also let the mules and camels drink water, which is very convenient."

Although Shen Yu had no idea about housing prices, he had a rough idea when he heard Old Man Tian say that day that his ancestral home was listed at a property brokerage for twenty taels but no one was interested.

I thought that the houses of these families were about the same size and the prices should be about the same.

Unexpectedly, the prices of the other stores became higher and higher.

Although the ancestral home of Old Man Tian is located at the end of the alley and is inconvenient to enter and exit.

But the ancestral houses of several other families were much more dilapidated than his, so how could they be so much more expensive?

She was thinking about how to lower the price.

He frowned and waved his hand, saying, "This price is too high."

"I've visited the yards of those houses. They're all just the size of a palm. They're not that big."

"I don't need the well. I'm just storing some goods. Why would I need a well?"

Jin Daren kept smiling as he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, trying to make another effort.

He said quickly, "One hundred and forty taels. Go and negotiate. Call me when you're done."

"If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll find another house."

"There are quite a few vacant houses in that area."

"I just chose that alley because it's closer to the market street and it's more convenient for storing goods."

"I'll also rebuild the house after I buy it. This old house has not been occupied for many years. How can I store goods if I don't renovate it?"

"If the goods get wet, the amount will be much more than this."

Jin Daren was embarrassed and kept saying, "That's right, that's right, my lady is right."

He pulled Shen Yu and Li together and pretended to leave. Shen Yu and the others were listening and had already realized that Madam He was just bargaining.

The two of them immediately stood up in coordination and started to walk out.

Jin Daren only raised the quoted price a little to get more commission. When he saw that the three people were really going to leave, he immediately panicked and said hurriedly, "Ladies, please stay."

Then he gritted his teeth and said painfully: "I will make a decision today. Let's settle it at the price my lady asked."

He winked at Shen Yu and Li, and said reluctantly, "Forget it. This is a business that doesn't make much money, so I'll let you make some money. This is the price."

"Once you have drafted the deed, let's go to the county government office together to apply for registration and transfer of ownership."

Jin Daren hurriedly said, "The contract has been drafted, just fill in the price and name."

"Ladies, which one of you is the head of the household? I will inform these residents to go to the county government office to register the transfer of ownership tomorrow morning."

Shen Yu naturally pushed Li out.

Unexpectedly, Li asked Jin Daren: "Jin Langjun, I want to ask you, can I let my daughter be the head of the household?"

"I have a lot of things to do at home, and I can't get away every day. From now on, I can let my daughter do all these things."

Jin Daren had been a dentist for many years and was naturally experienced. He often saw mothers asking these questions, so he asked, "Madam, do you want to give these warehouses to your daughter as a dowry?"

"Of course you can write it under your daughter's name, so that she won't have to change her name again when she gets married."

Li clapped her hands and laughed, "That's what you said, my dear."

"I thought of using these as her dowry, so that when she gets married, it will show that our family is wealthy."

Shen Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What was Li thinking? Was she so afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get married?

He agreed and said with a smile, "Madam, you have thought it through. It's time for me to consider this matter too. Just write it under your name so that you don't have to change the name later."

Since both of them said so, Shen Yu had no choice but to nod in agreement and agreed with Jin Daren to meet at the gate of the county government office tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Shen Yu and Madam He arrived at the gate of the county government together at the agreed time.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw Jin Daren and a group of people standing at the side door next to the county government office.
