After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

808 Choosing a House

Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction. The prices and locations of these houses looked alright. If the houses were in good condition, she would buy all of them and keep them for her children so that they could each get a house when they grew up.

“Eldest brother, it’s such a pity that you’re not a detective!” Qiao Mei said as she looked at the information.

She did not expect Xu Lan and Xia He to laugh out loud at such an ordinary sentence. Even Xia Wen could not help but smile.

Qiao Mei looked at them in confusion and asked, “Why? Did I say something wrong?”

“Back then, eldest brother was a scout in the army and he was the best scout!” Xia He held her stomach and laughed loudly, not caring about her image at all.

“This means that I have a good eye for people and I have good judgment!” Qiao Mei said stubbornly.

No one had anything to say in rebuttal. After all, Qiao Mei had taken a fancy to Xia Zhe at first sight. In the beginning, Xia Zhe had still struggled to disagree!

Thinking of the situation back then, Qiao Mei could not help but blush. It was a good thing that only the two of them knew about this. If more people found out, it would be so embarrassing.

“Then let’s go and take a look,” Xia Wen said.

Xu Lan did not intend to join in the fun. She still had to go to the art troupe. She had not gone there to check out the arrangements during this period of time and did not know how things were going.

Qiao Qiang stayed at home to spend time with the four children while the other four people walked over to look at the houses. The first house was only two streets away from Qiao Mei. It was neither too close nor too far.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she could feel that the courtyard was covered in dust. It looked like it had not been lived in for a long time. The courtyard was about the same size as Qiao Mei’s and the place was maintained quite well. It would be habitable once it was cleaned up.

“How much is this one?” Qiao Mei asked.

“The owner of this house told me that the minimum price is 30,000 dollars,” Xia Wen said.

An amount of 30,000 dollars! Li Gui’s eyes widened. This house looked about the same size as her house in the village, but it actually cost so much money. She did not even use so much money when she built her house back then.

“30,000 dollars is a little expensive, but this house is quite well-kept. I’ll think about it.” Before Qiao Mei left, she took a few more glances and memorized how the house looked.

The other two houses nearby were in shambles and there was also a lot of trash inside. Qiao Mei did not even want to consider these two at all. Finally, she arrived at the last house, the one along the street outside the back door of Qiao Mei’s back part of the courtyard house.

The location of this house was not very good. The corner of the street opposite was where everyone stored their trash. Although there was not much smell at the moment, no one knew what it would be like during the heat of summer.

When they entered the courtyard, they found a part of it still occupied by household waste. There was also still a lot of furniture in the house. Although the style of the building was old-fashioned, it was maintained quite well. The original owner of the house must have cherished these things very much. This house was not as big as the previous three houses with just six rooms. The front yard was quite standard and there was still some land in the backyard that could be used for planting.

“Eldest brother, how much is this house? Are the property rights to the house straightforward?” Qiao Mei asked.

“In the past, many people lived here. The owner had rented it out. Later on, when there was a check on non-local household registers, all these people could not produce their identification documents and the owner chased them away out of fear of inviting trouble. The house was left vacant after that. The property rights should clearly be with the owner and have nothing to do with the people who rented the house. The owner says that he wants 10,000 dollars and that he will bring all the furniture in the house with him, so he’ll only leave an empty house for us,” Xia Wen said as he looked at the information in his hand.

As long as the property rights were clear, it would not be too troublesome. This way, it would be easier for them to complete the sale and purchase. As for the furniture, they could always buy their own.

Qiao Mei held Li Gui’s hand and asked, “Which of these four do you prefer?”

After all, she was buying a house for Li Gui. Even if it would be under Qiao Mei’s name, they would still need to go along with Li Gui’s preference.

“Are there only these few?” Li Gui asked softly.

This surprised Qiao Mei. None of these houses were satisfactory?

“You don’t like any of them? If you don’t like anything around here, we can still look at those further away. It’s fine,” Qiao Mei said.

Li Gui quickly waved her hands and explained, “No! I just think it’s too expensive…”
