Everyone Pampers the Small Blessing Who Has a Spatial Pocket! Chapter 148

148 The House in Town

“Old Madam, are you going to buy a house for your granddaughter? How should I say this? There are currently no cases of people registering a house in the name of the little girl. It has to be registered in the names of the adults.” The agent was a little anxious. “There’s no precedent for such a thing. I don’t know if it can be done. Why don’t we register it in her father’s name first?”

The agent pointed at w.a.n.g Chuangui and said.

Not to mention in the Dachang Kingdom, there was no precedent of people buying a property for their daughter in the entire continent.

Most of the property that women possessed were inherited from their fathers.

Before starting a family, a woman could not buy a house herself. After starting a family, her husband could gift her a piece of property or transfer a house to her name in the form of a dowry.

After the woman died, her property would be taken back by her family or given to her son.

If a woman did not have a son to inherit the property, she would give it to her nephew.

Even for those women who were very rich and did not care about real estate, they could only purchase property when they reached adulthood.

Old Madam w.a.n.g also knew this practice.

“I didn’t ask you to register it under her name right now, but you have to include her name in the deed. As for the future, you don’t have to worry,” Old Madam w.a.n.g said. “You just have to recommend the houses to me. I’m not very satisfied with either of the units. I believe you have other units. If there’s really nothing, I’ll ask the other agents.”

The agent originally wanted to wait for Old Madam w.a.n.g to explain to him why she wanted to buy a house for her granddaughter. He mainly wanted to hear some gossip.

Unexpectedly, the topic changed to the house again.

“Old Madam, if you say that, I’ll be sad. My houses were carefully selected. None of them are bad! The two units I recommended to you are really the most suitable for the children to go to school. It’s not that there’s nothing else. The condition of those houses are good enough, but they’re just a little farther from the school.”

w.a.n.g Chuangui: “How far can it be?”

“The furthest one is over at Nanhe Third Street. There are many people from all walks of life there. Although the houses are larger, those who are slightly more particular won’t stay there.”

This was not a lie.

Other than Nanhe Main Street, there were houses on both sides of Nanhe Second Street and Third Street, especially on Nanhe Third Street.

In the beginning, there was no hard restriction on the construction of houses. The houses were built as big as people wanted.

However, there was also a problem. After the unregulated houses were built, the layout of the entire street became a little strange.

Most of the houses there were rented or made into shops. The residents in town mainly worked there during the day and went home to rest at night. They would not remain on Nanhe Third Street.

In other words, the order on Nanhe Third Street was chaotic. There were all kinds of people living there. It was impossible to tell their ident.i.ties.

Old Madam w.a.n.g gave up. “I don’t want the one on Nanhe Third Street. What about the others?”

“Old Madam, didn’t we just see two units? If you want to live more comfortably, you can look at the one further away.”

Old Madam w.a.n.g shook her head. “You’re not asking me to choose, you’re forcing me. It’s too insincere of you to ask me to choose between two units only. Since you’re doing business with me like this, there’s no need for us to cooperate anymore. If I still want to buy a house in the future, I won’t look for you.”

The agent’s face was filled with bitterness. “Old Madam, you’ve really wronged me. I’m just trying my best to help you. Sigh, I remember now. Actually, there’s still another unit, but how should I put it? It’s a little jinxed.”

There was another house situated between the two houses that had been introduced previously. Moreover, there was a two-story attic and a large pool in the courtyard.

However, it was that pool that caused a series of drowning incidents previously. Although no one died, everyone said that there were Water Ghosts in that pool, so even the houses could not be sold.

The owner’s family had long moved away from that place and even went to the county city because they wanted to stay away from that house.

“Even if you say that there’s no such thing in this world to begin with, if everyone spreads a rumor too much, it will naturally become unlucky. If you’re bold, we can go and take a look.”

Old Madam w.a.n.g thought that Ah Yu still had an Immortal protecting her. It was impossible for any demons and monsters to approach her. Even if there were such ent.i.ties, they could only tuck their tails between their legs and become obedient ghosts.

Hence, they went to the courtyard to take a look.

What was surprising was that it was a s.p.a.cious courtyard house with three entrances. The restriction on the layout of the buildings was according to the rules of two entrances. But there was no rule that commoners could not build a tri-entrance courtyard house.

Walking through the first entrance, there was a vegetable field and other furnishings. The second entrance led to a garden and pool, as well as four master rooms and a servant room.

There was even a special place for the gatekeeper to stay.

The third entrance led to two side houses. One was the main house, and the other was the Young Lady’s residence.

The Young Lady’s residence was decorated very warmly. Even the window paper was thoughtfully turned into a light pink color, looking especially moving.

“Wow, Grandma, look at the fish in this pool!” Little Ah Yu saw the rockery in the courtyard and ran over to take a look. Then, she realized that there were red carps swimming freely in the pool.

Little Ah Yu had never seen a red carp before and could not take her eyes off it.

“Be careful not to fall down. The water is very cold.” Old Madam w.a.n.g coaxed her.

Little Ah Yu pointed at the red carps. “They’re so beautiful!”

“This was left behind for you by the owner. He said that he wanted to thank you for being willing to give the house a chance. Many of the furniture here is new. The owner has already made the decision to give it all away.”

Seeing Little Ah Yu’s excited expression, the agent had a faint feeling that as long as he convinced this little girl, this deal should succeed.

Old Madam w.a.n.g asked, “How much does this courtyard house cost?”

“It’s not expensive. The owner is in a hurry to use the money. He said that he would sell it for 180 taels. If Old Madam is sincere in buying it, I can even bargain further with him.” The agent wiped the sweat off his forehead and was a little uneasy. He hoped that this Old Madam would not mess with him.

He had run so far. If they said that they didn’t want it, he would really be irritable.

“Ah Yu, do you like this place?” Old Madam w.a.n.g waved at Little Ah Yu and said to the approaching Ah Yu.

Little Ah Yu shook her head and nodded, indicating that she liked it, but she was afraid that she had said something wrong.

She liked the red carps very much. She felt that they were full of vitality, as if they could speak.

She wondered if she could let the toads out of the spatial pocket to play with them.

Little Ah Yu’s thoughts went astray again.

Old Madam w.a.n.g saw that Little Ah Yu was happy, so she said to the uneasy agent, “Alright, we’ll buy this unit then.”

The agent was so happy that he was about to cry.

Oh my G.o.d, she had finally decided to buy it after talking for so long. It was not a waste of his saliva.

In the end, when she said the next sentence, the expression on his face froze.

It turned out that Old Madam w.a.n.g had something else to say—

“150 taels. If you’re willing to sell, then take it. If not, then forget it.”
