Several people looked back and saw an energetic old lady walking over. She was well-dressed and her gray hair was neatly combed. Even though she was old, she walked with a straight posture and her back was straight. Knowing that she was from a good family background, she still looked at Su Qingyun and the others with clear eyes.
"You just want to buy my house?" she asked again.
Chen Yuhang stepped forward quickly, "Grandma Mo, why are you here in person?" Isn't this old lady very well informed?
"I just happened to go to your housing authority for something. I heard that you brought someone to see my house. Can't I come and have a look?" Mrs. Mo snorted softly.
"Of course, you can come to your house at any time." Chen Yuhang quickly apologized and changed the subject, "Are you going to our housing management bureau?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Mo's face darkened. She gathered up her maroon shawl and sneered: "It's not the same person who came to see my house last time. He wants me to sell the house to him. I don't want to." Agreed, he actually bypassed me and went to my daughter's place. What's the deal? This house belongs to me alone. I have the final say whether to sell it or not!"
"I, an old lady, can't take care of him, so I can only let the people from your Housing Authority take care of him. After all, that person was introduced by your Housing Authority."
Mrs. Mo glanced at Su Qingyun and others, "Xiao Chen, let me tell you again, don't introduce people with questionable moral character to me. Not just any cat or dog is qualified to buy my house. Yes, that kind of person, no matter how much money you give me, I won’t sell it.”
Her tone was full of arrogance, and she obviously looked down upon the people who had come to see the house before.
Hey, this old lady is quite awesome. Su Aimin and Qin Ying were stunned.
Su Qingyun curled up her lips. This old lady is interesting. People who want to buy her house have to be screened by her and their character. Now she is really curious. What requirements does this old lady have to sell her house? So many people quit?
"Yes, yes, I will give our leaders a response when I get back to the situation you mentioned." Chen Yuhang could only respond with a smile.
The reason why the bureau is so difficult to deal with is because the old lady's children are now in important positions, and the people who can afford to buy this house are not small people. In this fight between gods, they are caught between The mortals in the middle suffered. Both sides were in trouble, so they could only persuade them in a good voice. Therefore, everyone in the housing management bureau hoped that the house could be sold as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Mrs. Mo looked at a few people again, and finally fixed her gaze on Su Qingyun, "Little girl, are you the one in charge among them?"
When she said this, several people were surprised.
"Grandma, why do you think so?" Su Qingyun was also surprised.
There are obviously two elders standing next to her, and there is also Ji Yue. No matter how much you think, it will not be her turn?
"My old lady has lived for such a long time, and I still know who the person is." Old lady Mo smiled proudly, "I just asked twice if you wanted to buy my house, and the look in Xiao Chen's eyes these two times They are all looking at you, not others. Although I don’t know why, I think you should be in charge.”
Chen Yuhang was convinced as soon as he heard it. If he didn't say that this old lady was so smart, most people wouldn't be able to hide it from her.
"Grandma, these are my parents." Su Qingyun introduced Qin Ying and Su Aimin and said with a smile, "Our family wants to buy a house and we have to discuss it together. No one can make the decision alone." Buying a house is a big deal. Everyone has to be satisfied.
"Whatever you want." Mrs. Mo didn't care about this. She looked around her house with a proud look and asked, "What do you think of my house?"
Although it was a question, Su Qingyun felt that if they dared to say something bad about this house, the old lady would immediately be able to offend them.
"It's pretty good." Qin Ying said first, "I like the layout and style of this house very much." The layout of this house was somewhat like her original home, and she liked it almost at first glance.
Mrs. Mo glanced at her to make sure that she was telling the truth, and her eyes were full of appreciation before she nodded with satisfaction.
"It looks good." Su Aimin didn't know what style and layout it was, but he thought it looked good and felt comfortable.
Such simple praise made the smile on Mrs. Mo's face become more obvious.
Su Qingyun smiled and said: "Grandma, our family likes your house very much. Before you came, we were preparing to ask Brother Hang about the details of the house, such as the price and your requirements."
"Yes, yes," Chen Yuhang said quickly, "Grandma Mo, I'm just about to elaborate."
"I'll tell you for myself." Old Mrs. Mo was in a good mood. "The price of this house is 10,000 yuan. It's just like my house. It's one in a million."
Ten thousand yuan? ! Su Aimin and Qin Ying gasped for a moment. Su Aimin came from a small place after all. Although Qin Ying was from the capital, she had been away for so many years. Neither the couple expected that a house would be so expensive.
Su Aimin frowned, feeling troubled. The price of a large house he inquired about when he last came to the capital was a few thousand yuan, which was a sky-high price. But now, ten thousand yuan? The total money he has now is only a few thousand yuan, which is simply not enough.
He looked at his wife and knew that she and his daughter really liked this house, but the money was not enough, what should he do? Su Aimin had no choice but to use Qingyun's money until now.
Chen Yuhang lowered his head silently. The price was indeed too expensive, and the price factor was one of the reasons why the house had not been sold.
Ji Yue was also a little surprised.
"We can discuss the price, it's not the most important thing." Su Qingyun was not frightened by the price quoted by Mrs. Mo, and still smiled.
In this day and age, 10,000 yuan is basically the price of a courtyard house in the center of Beijing. Although this house is not a courtyard house, it is not much different, and the decoration and furniture in this house are all made of real materials. They are all precious wood and are worth a lot of money, so although the price of 10,000 yuan is expensive, it is not too exaggerated.
"What I'm more concerned about is your request. After all, I think if we can't meet your request, you won't sell the house no matter how high the price is, right?"
"You little girl understands my thoughts." Mrs. Mo praised with a surprised expression.
"Brother Hang said it before."
"Xiao Chen, you are doing better than those in your bureau." Mrs. Mo also praised Chen Yuhang.
Chen Yuhang smiled, "That's right, Grandma Mo."
Mrs. Mo paused and continued: "This house is the old residence of our Mo family. I have lived here for dozens of years. Xiao Chen should have told you that this house was originally a pawn shop. Okay, it was later changed into a residence, and you saw it outside. The only thing that can be seen to be related to the pawn shop is the door. The only thing that can tell that our Mo family used to be a prosperous place is the door."
When Mrs. Mo said this, Su Qingyun was stunned. She seemed to have roughly guessed what the old lady's request was.
"My only request is that no matter who buys this house, I don't care how it is rearranged inside, but the door of our Long Kee Pawn Shop must be retained on the outside and cannot be changed or demolished."
this……
Hearing this request, Su Aimin and Qin Ying were stunned. The house was sold to others and it no longer belonged to her, but she still had to keep the title. What was going on?
Su Qingyun said in her heart. Sure enough, when Mrs. Mo emphasized that door several times, she had almost guessed it.
Chen Yuhang groaned inwardly when he saw the expressions of several people. He knew that they would react this way when they heard this request.
Mrs. Mo's requirement that people who buy a house must keep the front door is the biggest reason why the house has never been sold. After spending so much money to buy a house, she still has no right to change the front door to her own, and she has to bear the burden of others. No one can figure out his name. It would be crazy if he could agree to such a strange request.
"This is my only request. If you don't want to, you can leave after seeing it." Mrs. Mo didn't show much disappointment. She also guessed that several people would react like this. She was not unfamiliar with this, but this It's her only persistence.
this……
Qin Ying and Su Aimin looked at each other and hesitated. They really liked the house, but this request...
Su Qingyun thought for a while and asked Mrs. Mo: "Grandma, can I ask why?"
Now it was Mrs. Mo's turn to be stunned. Every time she made her request, all she heard was "impossible" and "no". This was the first time someone's reaction was to ask her "why" , it’s really strange.
She looked into Su Qingyun's clear eyes and was originally unwilling to say more, but somehow she still spoke.
"Our Mo family made our fortune in the pawn shop business in the early years. At that time, we were considered a well-known family in the capital. Later, when the war broke out, the people were impoverished and everyone was displaced. Our pawn shop could not continue to operate. All were demolished and only the front door remained, as if the prosperity of our Long Kee Pawn Shop in the past is still there.”
"Our Mo family used the money earned from the Long Kee Pawn Shop to support the war above and actively donated money and materials. Almost all the family wealth was lost."
"I want to leave this family name, not because I am vain, I want to preserve the dignity of our Longji and our Mo family. I just want to leave a memory for myself, and I also want to leave a memory for future generations that can remember our Longji. The logo lets future generations know what this pawn shop has paid for, and what we must not forget. Those turbulent and dark histories need to be remembered."
“That’s what it’s meant to stay.”
Mrs. Mo said these extremely heavy words in a light and airy tone. Everyone was stunned. They did not expect that there was such a deep meaning behind this seemingly weird and stubborn request.
