1097 We Are Family



If these people found out that Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang managed to buy two rooms in Qiao Mei's corn courtyard house, they would definitely come around and ask to buy rooms as well.

Who knew how much money they had for real! There may even be people who would be willing to sell everything they owned to come and live in this house which belonged to Qiao Mei. Anything was possible! How could Qiao Mei reject each and everyone of these people?

Sun Juan and Shou Shuang did not want Qiao Mei to have to face such a situation. It was better to give more thought to whatever they did.

Qiao Mei had not thought of this point either. She always felt that she could just reject those people. However, she would be busy with her children in the coming months and would not be able to handle all the matters related to the house. Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang were truly more thoughtful and thorough in their considerations.

Furthermore, if Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang lived in the corn courtyard house, it would become inconvenient for her to go there to produce corn. It was a better idea to let them stay in the courtyard house located behind.

"Sure thing. I didn't do much renovations on that house and there are less fixtures and fittings compared with this place. For sure, the price is definitely not as expensive as here. I just hope you don't mind," Qiao Mei said.

"Of course we don't mind! It's already good enough to have a place to stay. Tell us the price. We will pay whatever amount you say!" Sun Juan said generously.

Qiao Mei's beautiful eyes darted around for a while and she said, "5,000 dollars per room!"

"Qiao Mei, you're so naughty! Are you teasing us! 5,000 dollars is enough to buy half that house!" Zhou Shuang said.

"That's not it. The thing is the house has good feng shui. After moving in, Sister Sun will be able to find her other half to spend the rest of her life with. Sister Zhou's two sons will also grow up healthy and excel in their studies. In the future, they will be very filial to you!" Qiao Mei said.

Sun Juan was so happy that she grinned widely. She held Qiao Mei's hand as she said, "Look at this mouth of hers. She can speak so well! Tell me, is there anything in this world that she can't do!"

"If what you say is true, then it shouldn't be called a house. It should be called a 'divine temple'. Everyone will want to buy a room there so that everything will become smooth sailing for them!" Zhou Shuang said laughingly.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Under normal circumstances, I'm planning to sell each room at 1,000 dollars over there. For that house, I've only scraped and painted the walls and changed all the furniture. Everything else remained the same. We're all on the same side, so I'll offer you my lowest price. It's 800 dollars per room," Qiao Mei said sternly.

The house which Qiao Mei was talking about was not the big courtyard house that she had bought for more than 10,000 dollars. She intended to keep that courtyard house for Xia He. Qiao Mei was talking about the house next to it.

After receiving the money from He Ning, she bought another house. It had three less rooms compared with the house which cost more than 10,000 dollars, but she had bought it for 8,000 dollars so it was still worth it.

"Then… can I buy three rooms? My two sons will get married in the future and I have to make preparations for them in advance," she said embarrassedly.

"Sister Zhou! You're not being nice! Qiao Mei is selling it to you at a loss! If you buy three rooms in one go, you're not letting Qiao Mei earn money!" Feng Hong said.

Severing one's source of income was like killing one's parents! One could not do such a thing that harmed others for one's own benefit.

They were still counting on Qiao Mei to help them get rich! If Qiao Mei was upset over this matter and she became unhappy and disgruntled with Zhou Shuang, the losses would outweigh the gains. Feng Hong was also doing this for Zhou Shuang's sake.

"I! I'll buy the other two rooms at the price of 1,000 dollars per room! Is that alright?" Zhou Shuang said hurriedly.

"No need, no need! Don't I always say that we're a family? As long as you're the buyer, it's 800 dollars a room. So Sister Zhou, you want three rooms, and Sister Sun wants one. Then Sister Feng, do you want to buy one from me too? Doesn't your son have to get married too?" Qiao Mei asked.

"There's still a long way to go for my son! The family has already prepared a place for him! I'm not in any hurry," Feng Hong said.

Even if Feng Hong wanted to buy one, she did not have that much money! Old Madam Fan had given Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang a large sum of money, but she did not get anything.

It was better to work for Qiao Mei for a few years and save more money for the future betrothal gifts first. If they could not afford the betrothal money, it would be useless to buy a room! Her son still would not be able to get married!

Besides, her son would go to work and earn money in the future. He should be the one to earn the money needed for his own wedding. Feng Hong was just preparing a backup plan for him. If she helped her child with everything, he would not be able to achieve much in his own future.
