Chapter 1177 Accompanying Gu Dongxing to Buy a House (3)
ngyu was used to being in charge at ho, and upon hearing the old woman’s words, she rembered that she was accompanying Gu Dongxing to buy a house, not buying it herself. She hurriedly looked at Gu Dongxing to rectify the situation: "What do you think of this courtyard?"
Gu Dongxing actually enjoyed her taking charge for him: "You decide." Seeing ngyu still looking at him, he added: "I think it’s okay." Realizing this courtyard was close to Yang’an Alley, he said, "Alright, let’s buy it."
The old woman finally smiled: "Since you’ve decided to buy, the sooner, the better, of course."
ngyu pulled out the contract and said: "How do you find this contract? If there are no objections, fill it out, sign your na, and make a fingerprint. After signing, I can pay five thousand yuan as a deposit first, and once the procedures are completed, I’ll pay the balance."
This was a standard contract she had prepared in advance, with address, area, and price to be filled in.
Gu Dongxing was surprised that she even brought a contract.
The old woman looked startled: "You’re not planning on investigating this house’s situation?"
Upon hearing this, ngyu and the others realized there might be so trouble involved.
ngyu and others exchanged looks, and ngyu frowned, asking: "This house is yours, right?"
The old woman confird confidently: "Of course, it’s mine. If it wasn’t, could I bring it up for sale?"
"Is the house solely owned by you, giving you the right to sell it?" ngyu asked again.
"Certainly," the old woman answered firmly.
"If that’s the case, what’s there to worry about?" ngyu asked.
ngyu truly wasn’t concerned; last year when purchasing at Yang’an Alley, even Ma Dapang and her ruffian brother seed formidable, but they were no match for her and were driven away.
The old woman saw ngyu wasn’t worried despite her reminder, and given her own genuine need to sell the house and join her daughter, she thought ngyu could indeed handle her ungrateful son.
But Gu Dongxing didn’t want any lingering trouble: "What issues does this house have? Speak out."
Seeing Gu Dongxing’s scrutinizing gaze, the old woman sighed.
"Alright, I do think it’s better to clarify with you.
This courtyard was my dowry when I married into the Luo Family. When I entered the Luo Family, my husband was twelve years older than ; both of us were on our second marriage, and I had no children, but my husband already had a son nad Luo Guo. After marrying into the Luo Family, I gave birth to a daughter nad Luo Jia.
During the Cultural Revolution, we were labeled as undesirable elents and sent down; Luo Guo’s family distanced themselves from us, but Luo Jia refused to separate and followed us to the countryside.
In order to decisively cut ties with us, Luo Guo donated this courtyard and secured a unit apartnt for his family through his workplace. After the house was surrendered, several worker families were assigned to live in it.
Luo Jia followed us to the countryside and ended up marrying a rural youth.
The year before last, my husband and I were rehabilitated, and I went to the property office with the title deed to claim that this courtyard was originally my dowry house, and it was not my intention when Luo Guo donated it. The office, after verification, returned the courtyard to .
I wanted to bring my daughter over, but she was unwilling to leave her husband and children, so I had to give up.
Upon hearing of our rehabilitation and the return of the courtyard, Luo Guo ca to apologize, saying: ’Dad, Auntie, this courtyard is so big, we can’t even occupy all these rooms, but we can stay close to take care of you. Besides, we were originally living here, and now coming back is just like your rehabilitation, it’s rely restoring previous rights.’
