The next day, eight o'clock.
Lin Yuan went out without eating breakfast.
The purpose of his trip this time is: to buy a house!
In Lin Yuan's bank card, there was royalties from the novel "Prince of Tennis" last month. After tax, the actual amount he received was 1.25 million.
Including the download revenue of several songs, it has reached two million.
Among them, the song share mainly comes from "Flammable and Explosive" released last month.
Then came the short story "The Gift of the Magi," which sold another two hundred thousand.
Originally, this money was not due to be transferred until next month, but Lin Yuan wanted to make his wallet more financially secure before buying a house, so he asked Silver Blue Bookstore to advance the royalties.
The cooperation between Silver and Blue Library and Lin Yuan was going smoothly, so the other party agreed readily.
The two hundred thousand has already been transferred.
So Lin Yuan now has about 2.2 million yuan in funds, and he can no longer suppress the idea of buying a house.
In fact, Lin Yuan wanted to buy a house as soon as he got home.
Because the house they live in now is really shabby and their life is very inconvenient.
Take housing for example.
The area of a two-bedroom, one-living room house is really limited.
It’s usually okay, as it’s enough for my mom to live alone.
But when the Chinese New Year comes and everyone comes back, the space for four people will become very crowded.
what to do
Lin Yuan can only have his own room because he is the only boy in the family.
Then I forcibly divided the master bedroom where my mother lived into two rooms.
The older sister and the younger sister slept in the compartment on the left, and the two sisters shared one bed.
Mom sleeps in the compartment on the right.
The sound insulation is poor and the space is small. You have to take turns using the bathroom to go to the toilet in the morning and take a shower at night. According to everyone's living habits, it is actually very uncomfortable to live there, but no one complains.
Now that we have money, why should we force our family to squeeze into such a small space
Besides, the living conditions in the old house are not good. From the decoration and furniture of the house itself to the surrounding facilities and transportation, it is backward in all aspects. Even if my mother lives alone in such a place, it would be very difficult.
Buying a house is imperative.
Before buying a house, Lin Yuan made a special search on the Internet and found that two million was enough to buy a very good house in Yuncheng.
After all, Yuncheng is just an inconspicuous small city in Qinzhou.
I was worried before that I didn’t have enough money. I was really thinking too much.
Of course, Lin Yuan also considered bringing his mother to live in Su City, but when he secretly proposed it last night, his mother refused. She was reluctant to leave her hometown where she had lived for many years for the time being.
In this case, Lin Yuan decided to take a long-term view.
Anyway, Lin Yuan can't afford to buy a house in Sucheng for the time being.
It would be better to let my mother live in a better house in Yuncheng first.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan finally took the bus to the real estate transaction center.
He first had breakfast nearby to fill his stomach, and then walked into the real estate center.
"Hello, sir."
One of the young male salesmen came up to us with a warm face: "I'm a real estate salesperson, you can call me Xiaomu, may I ask your name, are you here thinking of buying a house?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes, my last name is Lin."
Xiao Mu nodded: "Hello Mr. Lin, what price range of house are you looking to buy?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Two million, don't exceed too much."
Xiaomu was stunned for a moment. Lin Yuan looked too young, and seemed to be still a student. Yet he asked about a house worth two million right away
However, he was still very diligent in introducing several properties to Lin Yuan, with prices around two million.
"Can I go take a look at this set?"
Lin Yuan became interested in one of the houses, which was priced at 2.1 million yuan, and the price was within Lin Yuan’s budget.
"certainly."
The other party nodded immediately: "We have the key to this house here. I can take you there now. Please wait a moment. I will go get the key."
…
Xiaomu quickly went into the house to get the key.
The colleague behind him whispered, "Xiao Mu, don't worry too much about this customer. He will probably just look at it and won't buy anything."
Xiaomu was stunned: "Why?"
The colleague looked like an experienced person. He looked at Lin Yuan who was waiting outside the door and said with a smile: "People in our line of work need to observe more. I observe every customer who comes to our door. Your customer came here by bus. At the same time, he is not wearing expensive clothes. The most important thing is..."
"What?"
"I ran into him when I passed by a breakfast shop. He was having breakfast and he actually bargained with the boss, asking if he could give him a lower price. Have you ever seen someone bargain with the boss for breakfast?"
“But the breakfast place next door is really expensive.”
Xiao Mu seemed to share the same feelings as Lin Yuan: "Twenty dollars for a bowl of ramen, that's too much. At the breakfast shop next to our community, a bowl of ramen costs at most eleven dollars, and that's with a lot of beef added. That's why I never eat breakfast near the company."
colleague:"… "
Xiaomu took the key and went out.
Not long after, he brought Lin Yuan to Longjiang Garden, one of the best communities in Yuncheng.
"Longjiang Garden is very famous in Yuncheng!"
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "When I was delivering food before, I had to register at the door every time I entered. The property management was very responsible, and the environment in the community is also very beautiful and very suitable for living."
Just a few words of introduction.
The two came to the ninth floor of Unit 1, Building 28.
Entering the room, Lin Yuan found that the house was decorated in a very stylish neo-Chinese style, elegant yet old-fashioned, and the furniture was new and complete.
“You saw it, too, guest.”
Xiao Mu said, "Although it's a second-hand house, I assure you that no one has ever lived in it. The owner is a biology professor. He originally planned to buy this house to settle down, and he had prepared all the decoration and furniture. But because of a temporary job transfer, he went to Chuzhou, so he planned to sell this house and buy a new one in Chuzhou."
Lin Yuan went to the balcony and took a look.
The view was great, with mostly greenery and fresh air. He nodded with satisfaction, "It's good, but..."
Xiaomu said: "You say."
He has also managed some clients, so he knows that when a client says this, it generally means that the deal will be difficult to close.
Lin Yuan said: "Can I move in directly?"
Xiaomu was stunned: "Are you planning to buy it?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes, it feels good, this is it."
Xiaomu was a little surprised, but then he felt a little embarrassed: "Bank loans have to go through procedures, and the owner will probably have to wait until the bank releases the loan..."
Lin Yuan said: "I'll pay in full."
Lin Yuan asked himself if he had any business acumen, nor did he understand so-called investment, let alone inflation. His habitual poor thinking told him that bank loan interest rates were very high and the loss would be huge, so if he had the money, he would just pay in full for the purchase.
"What?"
Xiaomu opened his mouth wide.
But the next moment, he suppressed his excitement and said, "Wait for me, I'll make a phone call and talk to the owner!"
The call was connected quickly.
After Xiao Mu finished talking to the other party, he smiled and said to Lin Yuan: "They were reluctant at first, but after hearing that you were ready to pay the full amount, they immediately agreed to your request to move in directly. Now you have to come back to the company with me to sign a contract, and the owner will also come to contact you."
"OK."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Xiao Mu returned to the company with Lin Yuan.
The colleague smiled and said, "Well, am I right?"
Xiao Mu glanced at his colleague in surprise: "The customer wants to sign the contract now and may move in tonight. Since he is paying in full, the seller readily agreed."
"ah?"
My colleague was stunned for a moment.
Bought it? Or paid in full
Is this the legendary saying that the richer you are, the more low-key you are
At this time, Xiaomu had already gone out, and Lin Yuan also took over the property with the owner, signed the purchase contract, and transferred the money on the same day.
"I suggest you change the door locks after you buy the house."
Xiaomu smiled and said, "Usually this is what you do after buying a house. There are a few more minor procedures to follow. You or your family will need to make a few trips. I will be responsible for the whole process."
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
In addition to buying the house, he also paid about 30,000 yuan in various taxes and agency fees. Now there is less than 100,000 yuan left in his card, but he was still very happy and called his sister directly.
My sister asked, "What's wrong? You haven't been seen since early in the morning. Where have you been?"
Lin Yuan said: "Can you bring your mother and sister over? I'm at Longjiang Garden."
Lin Yuan didn't tell his family that he was going out to buy a house.
It's not that I want to give my family a surprise -
He was more afraid that his family would stop him from spending money and ask him to save the money for medical treatment.
"What? What happened to you?"
"Come over here."
Lin Yuan left a suspense.
Half an hour later, my mother and my sisters all appeared in Longjiang Garden, and Lin Yuan was waiting for them at the door.
"Why did you ask us to come here?"
Lin Xuan looked at Lin Yuan suspiciously: "I thought something happened to you."
"That's right, just scaring me."
My mother seemed quite worried.
Lin Yao said dissatisfiedly: "I'm still learning."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then you study here."
"What's the meaning?"
“I bought a house here.”
Lin Yuan did not continue to keep the family in suspense. He led the confused family members into the new house and introduced it in the language of the real estate agent: "One hundred and thirty-five square meters, three bedrooms, one living room, two bathrooms, two bedrooms facing south, square layout, there is also a very quiet study room here, the balcony is very spacious, and the view is very good..."
Lin Yuan found that no one paid attention to him.
He turned around and saw several family members standing there, looking at him with complicated eyes. The three family members in front of him were not as excited as Lin Yuan had imagined.
Lin Yuan guessed the reason.
So he smiled and said: "I went to the hospital for another check-up some time ago. The doctor said that there is nothing serious wrong with my body. As long as I take medicine regularly, I will eventually recover!"
"What?"
"real?"
After a moment's reflection, the family's eyes were red, and the mother came forward and pulled Lin Yuan with tears and laughter: "You won't lie to me, will you?"
"No."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll go to the hospital with you for a checkup."
"Go now!"
Mom pulled Lin Yuan and walked out.
Lin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he could only accompany his mother to reassure his family. He had already asked the system and the doctor could not find any problems because his body was indeed recovering.
really.
After a series of examinations at the hospital, it was found that Lin Yuan's body was weaker than that of an average person, but his previous terminal illness had gradually healed.
"Very good."
The mother hugged Lin Yuan and cried, and the elder sister and younger sister also wiped their tears quietly. Although no one would talk about it, Lin Yuan's physical condition and illness had actually been causing pain and suffering to the family.
Lin Yuan felt a little sad: "Let's go home."
"Which home?"
"A new home, of course."
"What about our old home?" This time it was my mother who asked the question.
"If you like it, leave it there as a souvenir. You can visit it occasionally... But we are going to live in a new home in the future." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"good."
The family members agreed in unison that only now could everyone put down their burdens and fully enjoy the belated joy of buying a house, because this joy was based on Lin Yuan's physical recovery, rather than Lin Yuan taking advantage of his remaining life to make arrangements for his family.
New house.
A new beginning.
New life.

ps: I took some medicine and my head is feeling sleepy, so I decided to have a good rest. This is the only chapter for today. Sorry, as they say illness comes like a mountain and goes like a thread. At least today I feel like I am recovering quickly. I will update as normal tomorrow, and the speed will be increased after it is put on the shelves.
