Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2570 - 2506: Tens of Thousands Isn’t Money
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
"No way!"
Ding Haijing jumped in shock.
A mix-up like this can't be brushed off easily.
Should Great Officer Meng learn of it, who could predict his reaction toward him?
Plus, he held zero romantic interest in Chiang Xiao; he viewed her more as a sibling.
"She’s my sister, my cousin." Ding Haijing shot a swift look at Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao stood speechless. Was she now amassing brothers?
"So, are you the one buying a house?"
"She is."
Both men froze briefly and turned toward Chiang Xiao.
This girl seems incredibly young, yet she aims to purchase a house?
"You? Young lady, these houses aren't inexpensive. A foreign big shot built them while launching a local venture. Every unit runs tens of thousands. You sure about buying?"
Mere tens of thousands for a house, and they're skeptical anyone would buy...
Chiang Xiao recalled a real estate ad she'd seen earlier, demanding a lottery draw and a two-million deposit to even qualify. Sales still skyrocketed despite that.
Yet now, only tens of thousands...
Such pricing feels like they're practically handing them out.
This timeless sensation made her inwardly amused.
Ding Haijing furrowed his brow. "Tens of thousands?"
"A small unit goes for thirty to forty thousand, while bigger ones hit fifty or sixty thousand!" the man explained.
Thirty to forty thousand!
Chiang Xiao shot back promptly, "Then I'll go with a small one."
She'd assumed a small place meant sixty or seventy square meters, a basic two-bedroom setup. But trailing the man to inspect the "small" house left her stunned.
Are you serious?
A 120-square-meter unit labeled small? For thirty to forty thousand?
The city ranks as fourth or fifth tier today, but future growth will elevate it to third tier. Right by the train station, 120 square meters for thirty to forty thousand?
Unbelievable!
Her mind struggled to process it.
"Is thirty to forty thousand really..."
Cheap.
Before she finished speaking, the man cut in, "No haggling here, we don't bargain. Think this is street cabbage? You picked the small house with prime view, which boasts the finest outlook but costs extra. Let me reveal it first—this one's fifty thousand."
He pointed with one hand.
Fifty thousand.
Chiang Xiao hadn't planned to bargain at first, yet his remark suddenly made skipping negotiation feel off.
Fifty thousand for this spacious unit, though she barely needed the room—just a temporary spot.
"Can’t it really be any cheaper?"
"Of course not." The man shut the door. "Care to check a tinier one? It's somewhat smaller."
"Let’s have a look then," Ding Haijing proposed.
Chiang Xiao shook her head. "I’ll take this one."
Ding Haijing and the man both hesitated—was she committing already?
"I mean, shouldn't you browse more options? I'm free, I can display others. Truth is, many are still watching and waiting; sales remain slow. The interiors are bare, forcing you to add walls and dividers yourself—just a hollow shell for fifty thousand..."
The man shook his head with a tsk.
True enough, every unit here lacks inner walls, featuring only load-bearing and exterior ones. To folks today, snagging such a property and erecting extra walls seems wasteful however you slice it.
