I was a fortune teller in 90

Chapter 337: Just a Passerby
It is said that birds of a feather flock together. The fact that he can become friends with He Ning actually means that they are the same kind of people at heart, but He Ning lets himself go and it is more obvious.

Because of his family relationship, he knew his responsibilities since he was young and behaved in a restrained manner, just to reassure his parents.

But whenever he had free time, he liked to hang out with He Ning, under the pretext that they were friends who could talk about anything, childhood friends, but in fact he just liked the free and unrestrained spirit of He Ning.

People are strange animals. They all envy what they don't have.

Among his peers, he is too steady. The saying "everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme" is exactly applicable to him.

Sometimes, he felt that he was quite cheap. He knew he couldn't be as free and easy as He Ning, but he always yearned to be like her.

When he learned that He Ning was going to buy a house in the capital, he was surprised and immediately followed him.

It was not until he stood in front of Dai Qing that he could not help but reflect on whether he had been too impulsive.

In fact, Dai Qing didn't have much feeling about Ji Hengan's following the trend. This man and He Ning were childhood friends and they had a special relationship. Didn't He Ning say it a long time ago that birds of a feather flock together? There must be a reason why they like to get together.

She doesn't care about that.

Seeing Ji Heng's embarrassed expression, Dai Qing simply waved her hand.

"What's the problem? You can buy one set or look at two sets. For Mao Jian, there should be no difference."

Hearing this, Ji Hengan choked for a moment, then felt relieved.

After breakfast for a while, Mao Jian called and said that he would come to pick them up in half an hour to go see the house.

After hanging up the phone, He Ning clapped his hands and held Ji Hengan's shoulders.

"Brother Mao is a cautious person, and the houses he recommends are all reliable. Sister Dai and I have already seen the house yesterday, and it is in good condition. If there is no problem with this one today, we will buy it directly. From now on, we brothers will also own houses in the capital. It will be much more convenient for us to go on business trips or travel in the future."

Ji Hengan looked at his boastful look but did not object. Buying a house was for his own convenience and he happened to have some extra money on hand.

"That's also thanks to Sister Dai."

If it weren't for Sister Dai's connections in the capital, they wouldn't have thought of buying a house.

What place is this? The capital, a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. It is a matter of face to be able to buy a house here and have a place to stay. Thinking of this, he was quite grateful for his impulse.

Dai Qing locked the door, and the others walked to the entrance of the alley. After standing there for a while, they saw Mao Jian driving over.

"You've been waiting for a long time. There's a bit of traffic on the road."

"No, no, we just came out too." He Ning laughed and opened the passenger door first, inviting Dai Qing to get in. He and Ji Hengan sat in the back seat.

As soon as they got in the car, He Ning introduced Mao Jian.

"This is my childhood friend Ji Hengan. We grew up together and have a very close relationship. When he heard that I was going to buy a house in the capital, he also wanted one."

Listening to He Ning's introduction, Ji Hengan glanced at him and greeted Mao Jian politely.

"Hello, my name is Ji Hengan, thank you for your help."

"No trouble, it happens to be within the scope of my business."

The two of them exchanged polite words, and Mao Jian started the car and left. "That courtyard is a 20-minute drive from here, which is not too far. The surrounding environment is also good. The owner is still living there. But they are already packing their bags."

After a brief introduction, the car arrived at the destination, Ruyi Hutong.

The three followed Mao Jian in, stood in front of a vermilion gatehouse, and slammed the bolt.

The door opened and the owner of the house appeared. He was a man in his thirties. When he saw the few people, his eyes lit up.
"You are the comrades who are here to look at the house, right?"

"Yes, I'll bring people to see the condition of our yard." Mao Jian nodded and was polite to him.

"Come in and take a look. This house is my family's old house, passed down from our ancestors. People have always lived there. As long as there are people, the house will not be in bad condition. Plus, we repair it every year, so there won't be any major problems."

The owner of the house looked at Dai Qing and the others, then stepped aside to welcome them in, and described the situation of the house as they walked.

This is a rectangular courtyard with four main rooms, three side rooms in each room, and a back room on each side of the gatehouse. All together, there are thirteen rooms, connected by a corridor in the middle.

This yard is one-third larger than the two yards of theirs, which is similar to what the owner said. Because of years of repairs, the house is well maintained.

There is not only a well in the yard, but also an octagonal garden in the middle. The overall look is very exquisite.

Dai Qing took a look and really liked it, but she thought the price would not be cheap.

After a round, everyone sat down in the living room. The owner poured tea for them and looked at Mao Jian, "How do you like my yard?"

"It's well maintained." Mao Jian replied pertinently.

"That's right. After all, this is the ancestral home where we grew up. Ever since the government returned the house to us, our whole family has lived here. Now my father has passed away, and my eldest and second brothers have settled abroad. I am responsible for taking care of the old house, but I am also preparing to leave this year."

The homeowner said, sighing,
"My family has urged me many times, and I don't want to delay any longer. After the old house is sold, I will leave too."

Dai Qing listened to his narration and subconsciously looked at his face. His forehead was bright and his wealth palace was plump and bright, indicating a wealthy family. However, his lower part of the face was flat, indicating that he would have difficulties in his later years.

Selling his ancestral home today will also become one of his regrets in his later years.

Listening to her narration, several people expressed their understanding. There is a craze for going abroad now, and anyone with the ability wants to see the scenery abroad. They just listen to other people's affairs, but Mao Jian helps them ask the key questions.

"I wonder what is the lowest price Mr. Xu is willing to pay for this yard?"

"To be honest, we brothers have discussed the price and finally agreed on 50,000 yuan. If you agree, we can go through the formalities immediately."

As Mr. Xu spoke, he looked at the expressions of several people and found that they were not shocked at all. The smiles on their faces suddenly became much more sincere.

These people seem to have some strength.

"Since I wanted to sell my ancestral home, countless people have come to see the yard, but most of them were scared off by the price. I don't want to argue with them about the price. If you can accept it, we can talk about it. If not, you can look at it again. I have no objection."

"That's natural. Buying and selling are all voluntary."

Mao Jian smiled and looked at He Ning and Ji Hengan.

"What do you think of this yard? If you don't see it clearly, just look around again. After all, fifty thousand yuan is not a small amount of money, so it's better to be cautious."

The implication is that the two of them could discuss the price further.
