Chapter 47: The House is Ready, Let's Move In!
Mr. Wang fell silent, and after a while, he frowned at Mrs. Wang, saying, "Not to mention the most expensive city center, even in the fourth ring road, if you want to buy a slightly better two-bedroom apartment, it would cost around 6 or 7 million yuan."
Ms. Wang nodded in agreement: "That's right."
But from her eyes, Tao Baobao knew that she probably thought it was not enough. After all, many residents who were relocated from bungalows, even after receiving the relocation compensation, did not have enough to buy a house within the Fourth Ring Road, and still needed to add their own money.
"I thought the price was already quite reasonable, you know, nobody knows what future policies and housing prices will be like, what if they drop? What if the government comes up with new benefits again? Rather than waiting, why not move into the house first and then see, enjoying a day of peace is better than nothing, don't you think?" Tao Baobao tempted.
Ms. Wang sat on the bed and didn't speak, as if thinking about something.
Mr. Wang lit a Red River cigarette and took two puffs. He shook his head and remained silent.
After finishing the cigarette, Mr. Wang spoke up: "The price is still low, I won't hide it from you. My mother-in-law has an empty room on her side, although the area is not big, but it's enough for us to live in, and we've been planning this for a long time. If the demolition notice arrives, we'll move there first and then drag it out for a while."
"Nail households! So they were up to this all along."
"You should also know that being a nail house is not a long-term solution. Some people have managed to get a relatively good demolition fee after holding out, but many others haven't gotten a single cent and their houses were still forcibly demolished. In this case, the most I can do is 7.5 million; if it doesn't work, then there's nothing I can do."
Mrs. Wang looked at Mr. Wang and kicked him with her slippers.
Mr. Wang took a deep breath and lit another cigarette, taking a few puffs. Before long, he gritted his teeth: "Alright, when do we transfer the property?"
I made up my mind: "Let's go to the street office for a certificate now, I'll pay 1 million as a deposit first, and tomorrow morning. Then I'll take the documents and the remaining 6.5 million."
Taobao Taobao was also afraid that Mr. and Mrs. Wang would change their minds, so the next day they signed a contract with them early in the morning. Then he went to handle the transfer procedures and transferred the money into their account.
Under Tao Baobao's urging, Mr. and Mrs. Wang moved out that very day.
That afternoon, Tao Baobao went to a hardware store and bought many tools needed for digging, such as pickaxes, shovels, and hoes. However, the store didn't have any hoes. Tao Baobao had to run very far before finally buying a hoe, and then returned to the old house.
However, the strange eyes cast by everyone on this road really made Tao Baobao's face turn red. It's true that a little girl carrying a hoe and running around everywhere wouldn't get a high rate of turning heads.
"If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. Let's take it slow." Looking at the tiles on the ground, Tao Baobao rolled up her sleeves and started prying up the tiles with the pointed end of a hammer.
Ding ding dang dang, the whole afternoon passed by, and finally managed to pick up the bricks on the ground, and dug about half a meter deep when several insects jumped out of the soil, one was an earthworm, and the other two were unknown.
Tao Bao suddenly felt a wave of nausea and said, "Forget it, let's just leave it for today."
The next day, Tao Baobao came again with great enthusiasm to dig the ground.
"Ding!" Just a few digs, a sound was heard. Tao Bao pressed down his excitement and reduced the force to avoid hurting what's underneath, slowly digging from the side.
As a result, when Tao Baobao saw that it was just a stone, she couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, patting her forehead, "Alas, I got excited for nothing. I thought I'd found the treasure chest so quickly."
