Chapter 34
"I'm really left with no other choice. My husband and I bought this house when we were young. After so many years, I really don't want to sell it if I have a choice..."

"But my son and daughter are both unemployed now. With a whole family to feed, I have no other way but to sell the house."

The old lady said worriedly.

"Auntie, please give us a discount. We've just started this business, and haven't even rented this house for a full year yet."

"Our child has just been born. We really can't afford such a large sum all at once..."

"How about we pay you in installments? We'll give you part first, then every six months, we'll send you the money as fast as we can."

"My child, please understand my situation too..." the old lady sighed.

"2.3 million. Not a cent less."

Ding Sha was troubled. She looked at Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun was gently patting Little Ping An to soothe him. He glanced up and said, "We really can't afford that. How about this - we'll move out as soon as we can next month."

The old lady was stunned for a moment. To be honest, in her heart, this young couple was the ideal choice.

She had seen how bustling their business was, and guessed they must have made quite a lot.

But the old lady still couldn't bear to lower the price. She wanted to sell the house as quickly as possible.

Xiao Jun could tell what she was thinking from her expression.

"Auntie, won't you reconsider? This house is in a great location. Once you miss this chance, it'll be hard to find another buyer," the old lady couldn't resist and spoke again.

"We can't afford it. Let's look for another place," Ding Sha also understood, "We paid the rent several years in advance. Please remember to refund it to us when the time comes."

She wasn't too upset. She thought it wasn't too egregious a sin to be more concerned about oneself in this situation.

The old lady asked again, "So how much can you afford?"

Xiao Jun had already opened his phone to look for new houses.

Seeing his expression, Ding Sha knew he didn't want to stay here anymore. So she just smiled without answering.

The old lady sighed, still a bit reluctant, "I've never seen people negotiate like you."

Xiao Jun laughed a little, "Auntie, don't pretend you don't know this house could be bought for 1.8 million right now?"

"If you ask for an extra 500,000, can I not agree?"

The old lady choked up, "Young people these days don't understand how hard it is for seniors like me... I'm so old but still need to provide for two whole families. Is it so wrong for me to want to save up more?"

The old lady went on and on about how good her house was, and how Xiao Jun and Ding Sha didn't know a good deal. She said young people nowadays don't respect their elders and lack manners. She talked for a long time and refused to stop.

Xiao Jun was getting impatient, "That's enough. Bring up your own kids yourself. I don't want to rent or buy anymore. Is that not allowed? You're forcing me to give you this extra 500,000 to feed your kids?"

"I've never even heard them call me dad!"

"Ah Jun!" Ding Sha had been listening quietly to Xiao Jun arguing with her. Frankly, Ding Sha was a bit angry too, but hearing his last line, she still tugged his arm out of respect for elders.
