Chapter 234: Chapter 233: Each Give Way a Step

Days of lazing in bed always fly by. When they reached the deep-fried sweet dumplings for dinner, Zhen Yu realized that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had slipped away, and the start of school was nearing.

That evening, Mrs. Zhen announced big news: someone was coming to see the house tomorrow!

So, after dinner, the family of three started organizing their belongings.

Zhen Yan’s task was to get all his belongings in order! Before the school term in March, Mrs. Zhen would bring him to Qi City and pack up everything he had in town.

Zhen Yu needed to sort the clothing for spring, summer, autumn, and winter into two suitcases, as she still had to finish middle school in the town.

The rest was up to Mrs. Zhen, who would transport the belongings to Qi City in several trips like an ant moving house.

Fortunately, they had just cleaned up thoroughly before the New Year, keeping both the inside and outside of the house clean, saving them some energy and time.

While busy, Zhen Yu asked her mother, "Mom, who is coming to see the house? Do you know them?"

"I don’t know them," Mrs. Zhen replied without stopping her work. "Aunt Zhang arranged it, and she will come over tomorrow too."

"Did you discuss the price with them? And about handing over the house later?"

"Oh, you little girl! Why are you sticking your nose into everything!" Mrs. Zhen chided her daughter. "Nevermind it! Mom knows what to do."

Zhen Yu: "..."

Being concerned just ends up being unwanted, believe it or not, I might just toss this aside...

She was fuming inside! Yet Zhen Yan, loving the drama, suddenly fanned the flames, "Mom! You really should handle my little sister! I haven’t been home for half a year, and she has started poking her nose into everyone’s business!"

"Hey! You rascal! Shut your mouth!" Zhen Yu conveyed this sentence with just a look.

Receiving the message, Zhen Yan shot back a provoking look, "Just saying! What are you gonna do!"

"Wait till Mom’s not home! See how I sort you out!"

"Scared? I know kung fu too!"

"With your little tricks! Humph..."

While the siblings exchanged fierce glances, Mrs. Zhen chimed in, "Exactly! If I don’t handle her, she’ll think she can run up to the sky!"

"Mom! Am I really as bad as you say?" Zhen Yu quickly defended herself.

"You know whether you are!" Mrs. Zhen snapped, "Second Fu is still in the hospital! If you handled things well, that would be something! But you overstepped this time, and it didn’t work out! Wait till he’s out and see what kind of person he really is! If he takes out his frustrations on you, let’s see what you’ll do!"

Zhen Yu was stunned, "That... can’t be true..."

"Why can’t it be!" Mrs. Zhen, agitated, started throwing things around. "I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice! There are all kinds of people in this world! Don’t think just because Grandpa Fu and Fu Yu’s family are nice, Second Fu must be too. Everyone in a family can be different!"

Zhen Yu felt a chill down her spine, feeling like she was being targeted by a venomous snake.

Oh no! Mom, don’t curse it into existence...

---

The next morning around nine, a group of people bustled into the Zhen Family’s courtyard.

Leading them was the chubby female boss of the grocery store, who immediately said to the people behind her upon seeing Mrs. Zhen, "This is the homeowner! Come, come, let’s introduce ourselves..."

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu were both waiting at home, standing respectively in the tidy living room and the small bedroom.

The reason for this positioning was also for fear that people coming to view the house would bring unruly children or have too many people handling things...

Zhen Yu, who had recently been scolded by her mother, was in a phase where she was keeping a low profile. During the entire process of the house viewing, she listened without speaking...

The visitors were a family of three generations; the old lady and the little boy were both very satisfied with the fruit trees in the courtyard, and the couple also found the layout of the small bedroom with a bed and a stove perfectly suited for grandparents and grandchildren.

It seemed that Mrs. Zhen had already been in touch with them once, and the family was already somewhat familiar with the general situation of the house; it was precisely because a preliminary agreement had been reached that they came to view the house.

Eventually, both parties sat down in the living room and conducted a reasonable negotiation on the house price.

Mrs. Zhen insisted on ten thousand yuan without backing down, and the other party could not negotiate it down any further, also accepting Mrs. Zhen’s later offer of ’house comes with furniture.’

However, the negotiations finally stalled on the date of handing over the house; the other party wanted to move in March, but obviously, this was not possible since there was only one week left until March 1st.

And the May 1st moving date given by Mrs. Zhen was also too late for them! The couple didn’t give any reasons, they simply insisted on not being able to wait two more months!

Zhen Yu thought for a few minutes and then spoke up to break the deadlock.

"Uncle and Auntie, let’s both make a compromise. How about handing over the house on Tomb-Sweeping Festival?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen and the couple both turned to look at her, Mrs. Zhen’s eyes full of questions, but it was not convenient to ask in front of outsiders.

Thinking that her daughter always had a plan, Mrs. Zhen turned back to look at the buyers to hear what they would say.

The couple looked at each other and started whispering, "Tomb-Sweeping Festival is on April 5th, that’s more than a month away!"

"It’s going to take a week or two to handle the procedures, besides, February is short."

"So what do you think..."

"What about you?"

"I think it’s still a bit late, end of March at the latest!"

"It won’t make much difference in those few days! Leave some time for people to move their stuff, let’s go with that."

"...Alright then, I’ll listen to you."

After their discussion, the man looked up at Mrs. Zhen, "Then let’s settle on Tomb-Sweeping Festival! When the time comes, you better not delay it any further!"

"Don’t worry! My family does business; what we value is credibility!" Mrs. Zhen smiled: "Plus, there is Aunt Zhang mediating! How could I make it difficult for her, right?"

The woman then smiled: "Exactly! We trust those words! With a mediator, both parties can be at ease!"

"So, when shall we handle the procedures? Also, about the house payment..." The man half-said, clearly wanting to hear Mrs. Zhen’s opinion.

"Did you bring the money? If you did, leave some deposit with me, and let’s meet at the government office first thing tomorrow morning! Hand over the money and get the ’goods’, how does that sound?"

The man sighed in relief, admiringly saying, "Big sister, you really are straightforward! Since it’s like that, can I pay you five hundred as the deposit?"

"Sure! You’ll be paying the full amount tomorrow anyway! Haha..." Mrs. Zhen made a friendly joke, lightening the atmosphere.

"Haha! Exactly, if not today, then tomorrow!", the woman added supportively.

In the presence of the mediator, the man left five hundred yuan without asking Mrs. Zhen for any receipt, and they agreed to meet the next morning before taking his family and leaving.

"Aunt Zhang, I really can’t thank you enough! You absolutely must stay for lunch today!"

Mrs. Zhen, holding the mediator’s hand, resolutely wouldn’t let her leave, and the plump Boss Zhang reluctantly agreed to stay.
