Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Looking at Houses Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Looking at Houses The old gentleman looked at Luo Qiao, “You can look around, but I won’t sell this house for less than a thousand.”

Luo Qiao took a quick look, three main rooms and three slightly smaller side rooms, with a shed opposite that was almost the same size as the side rooms, and it was particularly clean inside.

There was also a piece of land at the back, about one-tenth of an acre, the only inconvenience being the need to use the public toilet.

However, Luo Qiao thought if all else failed, she could simply build a dry toilet at the edge of the vegetable garden at the back. After all, she really liked the courtyard and the house was well maintained; it was evident it had recently been repaired.

Luo Qiao said, “The house is indeed quite nice. However, I didn’t bring enough money today. I need to gather it tonight. When do you plan to leave?”

The old gentleman glanced at the courtyard and said, “We are leaving tomorrow afternoon. As you see, everything we want to take has already been packed.”

Luo Qiao asked, “Can the price be a little lower?”

The old gentleman said, “You have seen the house. I had it renovated just six months ago. If it weren’t for the fact that my daughter lives so far away and it’s too much of a hassle to come back and forth, I wouldn’t even consider selling.”

Luo Qiao pondered for a moment and then said, “Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”

The old gentleman asked, “What about your family? Don’t they need to come to see the house?”

Luo Qiao looked at the courtyard and said indifferently, “No need. I can make the decision. They are all quite busy.”

The old gentleman didn’t expect such an answer from Luo Qiao and said, “This isn’t a small amount of money. Are you sure you can make such a decision?”

Because Luo Qiao was keen on the house and didn’t want to beat around the bush, she smiled and said, “How about this? I’ll put down a hundred as a deposit, and I’ll come over tomorrow to pay the rest.”

The old gentleman gave Luo Qiao a look. Maybe he also felt a connection, as in the recent days, many had come to look at the house, but he was picky about who he sold it to. Then he said, “I’ll sell the house to you for nine hundred. I hope you’ll take good care of it.”

Luo Qiao didn’t expect the old gentleman to offer a lower price voluntarily. She burst into a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll take very good care of the house. I decided to buy it because I genuinely like it.”

After leaving the Li family, Luo Qiao said, “Sister Qu, I’ll come to you for help with the house registration tomorrow. After all, I’m still young and I worry about complications.”

Qu Lili said, “Okay, you both come to the housing authority tomorrow, and I’ll put in a word for you.”

She was curious about some matters, but she didn’t ask.

Luo Qiao said, “Thank you, Sister Qu. See you tomorrow.”

After they parted, Luo Qiao thought that she needed nine hundred for the house and she would have to buy some other things as well; she needed at least a thousand yuan in hand.

While walking, she pondered how to manage the remaining four hundred yuan, considering using the medicinal herbs from her space. She thought about finding a place where she could sell the herbs.

But as she walked, she saw Luo Bin in the distance, hanging out with some local toughs and walking shoulder to shoulder into an alley ahead.

Luo Qiao shook her head, thinking that without someone to supervise him, Luo Bin was not likely to behave well. She heard from villagers that he didn’t like to study and had gotten into trouble several times before.

The Luo family might regret this in the future, but it had nothing to do with her. She had more important matters to take care of, including finding a place to sell her medicinal herbs.

Thinking of He Yujie in the Black Market, Luo Qiao hesitated. Yet, if she went elsewhere, she feared she wouldn’t get a fair price like he offered.
