The Road to the Rebirth of the Goddess

Chapter 10

Mulan walked around the door of the shop a few times before entering the nearby grocery store: "Boss, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" The boss was listening to the radio with his legs crossed, shaking his head, and answered casually.

"Do you know if there are any vacant houses for sale around here?"

Hearing this, the boss immediately raised his head, looked at the two of them carefully, and asked Li Guozhu, "Do you want to buy a house?"

Li Guozhu scratched the back of his head with a silly smile, pointed at Mulan and said, "Ask her."

The boss then turned to Mulan seriously and said, "Why do you want to buy a house?"

"We are from Canglong'ao, and we want to move into the county so that my sister can go to school." This is a very normal reason. Now that many rural people have some money at home, they all hope to wash their feet and go to the fields to live in the city. It’s been a good day for a few days, but generally such families will buy land and build houses by themselves, and rarely buy ready-made houses, and they are still half-old houses.

"Then why don't you buy land and build a house?"

"My family sells tofu, so I must find a place with a lot of people. We have seen that the places where there is land for sale are relatively deserted. Besides, we don't have much money, and we can't build a big house, so we just want to buy here. It doesn’t matter if the house is small or old, as long as it is sturdy, the most important thing is that the location is good and the business is easy to do.”

The boss patted his thigh: "Girl, you have found the right person. It's right next door to mine. The front room on the third floor is spacious, bright, and airy. You'll love it just by looking at it."

Mulan happily said: "Really? That's great! Who is the owner of the house? Can you take me to meet him?"

The boss raised his head: "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us."

"So you are the owner of the house. Boss, you are really powerful. You have two houses?"

"Hey, where is it? It belongs to my brother, but I've left it to me to deal with it."

"Then can I go and see?"

"of course can."

"But the price..."

"Don't worry, I will never cheat you. But you, a little girl, can really make the decision?"

"Of course, I'm in charge of my family's affairs. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." Mulan pointed to Li Guozhu, who had been serving as the background board beside her. The people who were called saw the boss's eyes on him, and nodded quickly.

The boss yelled upstairs and called a half-grown boy to come down and watch the store for him. He took a bunch of keys and took Mulan and the others to the next door to look at the house.

The facade is not big, only about 60 square meters, but it is enough to make tofu for sale. As soon as Mulan entered the door, she began to make up her mind automatically. You can place a pot to sell hot soybean milk.Later, the old stone mill at home will be brought here, and it will be ground and sold immediately. It is genuine, and everyone can rest assured.

There is also a small storage room behind the facade. I think it was used as a warehouse in the past. Soybeans can be stored here, and there are also some utensils for making tofu.

What surprised Mulan even more was that there was actually a small courtyard in the innermost part. Although it was really small, it would take a few steps to reach the end, but with a canopy, a large stove could be built here. Come to cook soy milk, order marinated tofu to make tofu, and the smoke will not affect the front.

There are two more floors up, the second floor is the living room, the kitchen and one room, the third floor has three rooms, and there is a small bathroom on each floor. It is really suitable for Mulan's family of six.

Mulan was very satisfied, but she couldn't show it on the surface: "This house is a bit old, and the area is also a bit small."

The boss patted the wall vigorously: "This house is solid. Unlike the current houses, which are all cut corners, we knew that the houses we built back then were all made of the best materials and the best craftsmen. Of the houses on a street, our two are the best.”

"But it's too old. You see, the wall is dirty."

"What's the matter, the house rented to others is not dirty, do a good job of sanitation, and put a layer of white plaster on the wall, it looks like new."

"Then it will cost a lot of money to renovate, we didn't have much money..."

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't charge you expensive ones. If it wasn't for my younger brother who was doing business in the city and waiting for the cash flow, we wouldn't be willing to sell such a good house! Go and inquire about a house like this on this street. How can you get it if you don’t have 10,000+? I think you want it sincerely, so that’s it, a one-shot price, 10 yuan, how about it?”

"Wow, this is too expensive!" Mulan had a hesitant look on her face. She knew that her aunt's house was bought at a super low price of 6 yuan, but she asked for a lot of money and paid back the money when she landed. It's just a little girl, but the price offered by the other party is still reasonable.

"It's expensive? Then how much would you say is suitable?" This means that there is room for bargaining. A few days ago, the news of the death in this house spread, and the boss waited for a long time before someone came to ask. , is still a little girl who hasn't experienced much at first glance, of course she can't let her go at will.

"Actually..." Mulan said with a little embarrassment, "When I was eating noodles in the noodle shop on the street in the morning, I heard two people next to me say that this house must not be bought, it is haunted."

"Who, who said that?" The boss frowned, "Who the hell is talking nonsense behind his back."

"I don't know each other either, maybe I got it wrong or not. But I'll go back and think about it. It's scary to hear what they said."

"Little girl, I didn't mean you. I think you are also a scholar. Haven't you taken a political class? Now that you are talking about materialism, how can you still follow the feudalism, right?" Unexpectedly, the boss Still a bit cultural.

"That's right." Mulan nodded, "But thinking about it still makes my heart shudder, I'd better go back and think about it first! Besides, I only saw your house on this street, maybe there are other houses It's more suitable!"

"I can assure you that you won't find such a suitable and cheap house on this street."

"Then I'll have to see to find out."

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, so let's pay another [-] or [-], how about it!"

"[-], if possible, I will settle it right away, if not, I still have to go back and think about it, it's not that I don't want it, I just want to find out if anything happened to this house, otherwise why is it so cheap Can it be sold?"

"Didn't I say it earlier, my brother is doing business in the city, waiting for cash flow! He is a big business in the city. It is true that this house is sold cheaply, but once he changes hands, he can earn it back." Well!"

"Since this is the case, then you can sell it to us for [-] yuan at a cheaper price! The sooner you sell it, the sooner you can use the money to start a big business!"

"I can't make up my mind about this, so how about it, you wait, I'll go back and make a call to ask."

"Okay, you go, I'll wait."

As soon as the boss went out, Mulan dragged Li Guozhu around the house: "Brother Dazhu, this house is not bad!"

Li Guozhu nodded with a smirk: "It's not bad." I'm used to living in low, old houses in the countryside. When I saw this small building, although it was a bit old, it was bright and strong. There was no reason not to like it.

Finally, the boss came back and happily announced that 6 yuan was sold!
It was Saturday that day, and it would be the next Monday to go to the housing management office to complete the transfer procedures. However, the boss said that as long as Mulan pays a deposit of 1 yuan, she can give her the keys, and she can find someone to repair the house.

Mulan hurriedly went to the bank to withdraw money, settled the house, and asked the boss where to find plasterers, carpenters, etc., to repair the house well.The boss has lived here for decades, and he is a local snake. There is nothing he is not clear about, and he also introduces Mulan with all his heart to workers who are fair in price and good at work.
As soon as she landed, she invited people back to work, and even the boss couldn't help praising her with his fingers up: "That's refreshing!"

Mulan explained everything that should be done, and asked Li Guozhu to stay and watch for her. Then she went back to the village alone, and announced as soon as she entered the house that the house in the county town had been bought. One day move into the county to live!

Mu's parents, Mu's mother, and Mu's younger sister all stared blankly at Mulan. After a while, Mu's younger sister said, "Sister, what are you talking about?"

"I said, I've already bought a house in the county seat, and now I'm being repaired, and I can move in in a few days. Let's pack up everything we can bring, especially the tofu-making utensils. By the way, Mom, let's harvest soybeans in the village in the past two days, and then collect them according to the market price, and let everyone send all the good soybeans at home to our house." Mulan said patiently.

Mu Ma came over and touched Mulan's forehead: "This child, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Mom—" Mulan was so angry that they laughed, "Forget it, you all will go to the county town with me tomorrow to have a look, and you will believe it when you see it with your own eyes."

The next day, Mulan really took the whole family to the house she bought in the county seat. Li Guozhu spent the night here with the workers last night, and borrowed two beds of old mats from the boss next door. The child is already working in full swing.

When Mu Mian saw the house, he jumped up for joy, and ran up and down to look at it non-stop: "Is this really our home from now on?"

"Of course!" Mulan said with a smile, "Look, this place on the first floor is used to make tofu and sell tofu. Take a room, okay?"

"Great! I want this one!" Mu Mian chose a house on the side of the street. Once you open the window, you can see the bustling street with people coming and going. The little girl has been in the countryside for a long time, and it is rare to be lively, so she likes to watch people.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Mulan actually didn't like the room facing the street. She thought it was too noisy, but it was rare for the little girl to like it. She didn't live at home for a long time anyway, so I just did as she wanted.
