My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

Lin Xiulan hadn't said a word since she entered the room, timidly following behind Lu Qingshan.

When he suddenly spoke, everyone present was taken aback.

Lu Qingshan didn't know what Lin Xiulan was going to say, but he knew that husband and wife were one.

Lin Xiulan glanced gratefully at Lu Qingshan before turning her head away.

She looked up at Grandpa Qian and Xiao Wang, her voice soft and gentle.

"Sir, Mr. Wang, buying a house is a big deal. May I look around and see more houses?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you saying? Please look around, this house is excellent!"

Xiao Wang reacted quickly, immediately putting on a smile and pointing at the yard, boasting with spittle flying everywhere.

"Let me tell you, this courtyard is absolutely one of the best in the area! Look at these blue bricks, these wooden beams, they're so sturdy! If it weren't for Grandpa Qian being in such a hurry to go to the capital with his son, no one else could even see a place at this price!"

Grandpa Qian also put his hands behind his back and echoed with a proud look.

"Young lady, this house has been passed down through my family. It was built with the finest materials, so it's warm in winter and cool in summer. To be honest, someone offered a high price to buy it yesterday, but I thought they wouldn't take good care of it, so I refused to sell!"

Lin Xiulan listened timidly, nodded obediently, and then wandered around the courtyard alone.

She touched the corner of the wall, looked up at the eaves, went inside to step on the floor, and even squatted down to examine the drainage ditch in the backyard.

Lu Qingshan didn't rush her. He packed the money and followed behind her with a smile.

He acted as if his wife had the final say.

A moment later, Lin Xiulan returned.

She was already beautiful, but she had always kept her head down in the village, so no one had ever looked at her closely.

There were only a few people in the courtyard, all staring at Lin Xiulan's gentle and pretty face, waiting for her to speak.

Because of shyness, two faint blushes rose on Lin Xiulan's fair and jade-like cheeks.

She clasped her hands in front of her, appearing somewhat hesitant and shy, but when she spoke, her tone was gentle yet firm:

"Uncle Qian, this house is quite nice, but... it also has quite a few problems."

Before Grandpa Qian could even glare or blow his beard, Lin Xiulan began to explain in detail.

"The back wall is damp, so we'll have to redo the waterproofing after we buy it; there are also several cracks in the roof tiles, so it's bound to leak when it rains; and the window frames are all warped, so they'll definitely let in drafts in winter. If we want to move in, we'll have to make all sorts of repairs, which will cost a lot of money and effort."

She raised her eyes, her bright eyes revealing a serious expression.

"2800 yuan is too expensive. Sir, how about 2000 yuan?"

Upon hearing that the price would be reduced by 800 yuan, Grandpa Qian's face immediately changed. He made a move to grab the teacup on the table and grumbled irritably.

"2000? You look honest, but you're really heartless! I'm not selling it anymore! My perfectly good old brick courtyard isn't as bad as you make it out to be! If this is your sincerity, then this deal isn't going to happen!"

Xiao Wang also got anxious and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Oh my, sister-in-law, you've bargained so hard! 2800 yuan is a steal! This location, this size—you won't find another like it anywhere else! This house is really worth that much!"

Despite being attacked from both sides, Lin Xiulan remained completely calm.

She remained timid and gentle, speaking slowly and deliberately, yet every word she uttered hit the nail on the head:

"Comrade Xiao Wang, let's be frank. Before coming here, I saw other houses listed for sale at the intersection, which is why I put down 2100."

"Uncle Qian, your house is nice, but you're in a hurry to go and enjoy life with your son. Every day it's vacant, there's an increased risk. Besides, we brought cash with us, so we can transfer the property today. You'll feel much more at ease if you take the cash with you."

Lin Xiulan looked at Grandpa Qian with sincere eyes and a gentle tone.

"We're genuinely interested in buying. Here's the price: 2200 yuan. If that's acceptable, we'll go to the housing management office now; if not, we'll look elsewhere."

Her words were clear and logical, praising Mr. Qian while also pointing out the pros and cons, steady and uncompromising.

Mr. Qian and the real estate agent, Xiao Wang, were left speechless.

Xiao Wang clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself, "This girl looks as docile as a rabbit, but how come she's more cunning than a fox when it comes to bargaining?"

Grandpa Qian stood there, his expression shifting between light and dark, pondering for a long time. Finally, looking at the thick stack of brand-new banknotes on the table, he sighed heavily and pointed at Lin Xiulan, saying to Lu Qingshan.

"Young man, your wife is a real expert at managing a household! Alright, 2200 it is, this old man accepts the loss!"

Upon hearing the deal was made, Lin Xiulan blushed slightly. She nervously twisted her fingers and timidly said to Grandpa Qian:

"Sir, thank you for your understanding. Actually... Qingshan and I just got engaged, and we wanted to use this house as our wedding home. But after buying the house, our savings were almost gone, and the house is so empty that we can't even afford decent furniture..."

Grandpa Qian was taken aback. Looking at the handsome and honest young couple in front of him, and then hearing that it was for their wedding room, most of the frustration he felt from being bargained down immediately dissipated.

He was also a straightforward person; with a wave of his hand, he said boldly:

"Oh dear, it's for a joyous wedding! Alright! I was planning to sell that nearly new solid wood bed, the large wardrobe, the eight-immortal table, and the chairs to the junk collector at a discount, but I'm giving it all away as a wedding gift! Wishing you both a prosperous and happy life!"

"Oh, thank you so much, sir!"

Lin Xiulan's eyes crinkled with laughter as she grabbed Lu Qingshan's arm, her eyes brimming with joy.

Lu Qingshan watched from the side with great admiration and couldn't help but secretly squeeze Lin Xiulan's palm, thinking: My wife is really a treasure!

The subsequent procedures went exceptionally smoothly.

When Lin Xiulan received the brand-new property certificate and the heavy set of brass keys, she still felt like she was dreaming.

It wasn't until Lu Qingshan unlocked the red-lacquered gate with his key and led her into their own courtyard that she truly felt that it was all real.

This is truly a rare find, even with a lantern.

Upon entering the gate, you are greeted by a spacious and square courtyard. The ground is paved with smooth bluestone slabs, which are clean and neat, and will not become muddy even on rainy days.

The main house has three tall and spacious rooms, with blue bricks and gray tiles. The wood is all old, sturdy, and durable, and even the carved patterns on the window frames exude elegance. The east and west wing rooms are also very neat and well-lit, with sunlight streaming into the courtyard without any obstruction, making it warm and cozy.

There was even a well in the corner, with clear, cool water, and a grape trellis next to it.

In the bustling downtown area of ​​this provincial capital, where land is incredibly valuable, having such a quiet, secluded place to live is like living in paradise.

Lu Qingshan looked around at the spacious plot of land, his mind racing with calculations.

He was someone who knew how things would develop in the future.

Decades later, in the provincial capital, where land is extremely valuable, a detached house with such a prime location and intact structure would cost more than a few hundred thousand, let alone several million!

Most importantly, by buying a house at this time, they also gain ownership of the land.

This is genuine private land. Whether it's demolished or rebuilt in the future, the value of this land alone will be an immeasurable fortune.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile slightly. This deal was incredibly profitable.
