Chapter 232: Chapter 231: Destination
Lin Wan directly gave them the extra three hundred yuan as a deposit.
After the two left, Li Congnan felt a bit cheated. "Lin sister, you gave them too much, it’s such a waste." Three hundred yuan was enough for an ordinary family’s living expenses for a year.
"Brother Li, if I don’t add this three hundred yuan, they wouldn’t be so straightforward today. Besides, I really like their house. The longer the wait, the more uncertainties there are. I’m afraid we’ll miss it. Of course, there’s another issue," Lin Wan said, pushing her bike and raising her eyebrows at Li Congnan.
"What issue?"
"Didn’t you notice that one of their backyard walls overlaps by one meter with the wall of my mom’s house?" Her mom’s house was separated by two houses, not in the same row, just aligned in another small alley. Her mom’s house had a big yard, directly facing another yard with a one-meter overlap with their yard.
Li Congnan was stunned for a moment, recalled it, and realized, "Yes, I didn’t look closely, but that way, if you want to connect in the future, you can open a small gate directly."
Lin Wan smiled and nodded, she thought of that when she saw the place.
Separated from Brother Li, Lin Wan rode her bike to the shop and told mom that she finalized the house purchase.
"That’s good, it’s convenient for two families to be next to each other. Xiao Yi is often not at home, we can also take care of you here. Do you plan to move out, or wait for a few years?" Liang Hongmei knew Xiao Yi’s background and considered Han Yi’s grandma, after all, she raised him until now, and it was time for them to show filial piety.
"Let’s see. If the eldest aunt has objections, we’ll move, and if worse comes to worst, grandma can live with us." Lin Wan knew that the eldest aunt had always been thinking about the family house.
"That’s fine."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and her brother returned in the afternoon with a smile on his face. Inside a document bag was the property certificate for their new home; in this era, the property certificate was just a sheet of paper. It listed the property ownership.
Seeing her brother’s name, they were overjoyed, similar to the feeling when calling for a house purchase ten years later.
Mom immediately explained things to Xiao Gu and took her son and daughter to the new home, full of excitement clearing weeds with shovels.
The smile on their faces never faded.
Thinking about it, their previous home and the new one were worlds apart.
When Lin Wan reached the backyard, she pulled mom and her brother to point out the house opposite, saying it was the one she bought.
Liang Hongmei was immediately excited to go and take a look.
Lin Wan pulled her back, "Mom, people still live there now, tomorrow I’ll go with him to handle the paperwork. They said they would move within three days."
"Mom, brother, there are no new furniture here, leave the furniture to me. I’ll design some styles and hire a carpenter to make them for us." Although she studied fashion design, drawing was no problem for her, she could remember and draw some furniture styles from memory from the future.
"Alright, leave it to sister then." Lin Yinghui smiled, having spent so much money, he had to run around the market during his spare time to earn it back.
The furniture wouldn’t cost much, a household would spend at most two or three hundred yuan.
The three of them only worked for a while before it got dark. Lin Wan went back without telling grandma about the house, fearing she would overthink it. She thought it wouldn’t be too late to tell her when she found a suitable opportunity.
The next day, Lin Wan first went to the savings office to withdraw money, then went to the place agreed with the house owner to handle the transfer, which went relatively smoothly.
After completing the transfer, Lin Wan went directly to mom’s house on Xuefu Road. She knew mom was cleaning there.
When mom heard that her paperwork was completed, she felt relieved.
