CHAPTER 1583: CHAPTER 1584: THE GIRL WITH THREE FAILURES 91

Zhang Yu thought for a moment, since she had already mentioned it to her parents, she should speed up the process and go back to buy them a house when work is not too demanding.

The houses in her hometown are really not expensive; even though she recently bought a shop, she can still afford to buy a house for her parents there.

Zhang Yu knew they would definitely oppose buying a house, saying that the old house is still livable and that she won’t be returning to live there, so there’s no need to waste money.

Zhang Yu admitted they were right, but as long as they continue living in the hometown, the house should be bought.

Moreover, it has to be a good one, with convenient public transportation and amenities like hospitals, shopping malls, and vegetable markets nearby.

As for school district houses, which many people care about, it’s not something Zhang Yu is concerned with at all.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang knew Zhang Yu was coming back when they received her call, asking them to bring their IDs to a certain place.

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Zhang looked at her husband in confusion, "Our daughter wants us to bring our IDs here."

"Why does she want us to go there?" Mr. Zhang was puzzled.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "You’re asking me, and whom am I supposed to ask? Forget it, let’s just go."

Mr. Zhang responded and took his wife on their little electric bike.

When they found the place, they were stunned by the grand shop in front of them, especially because it was labeled as a sales center.

The couple looked at each other, "Our daughter really wants to buy a house here?"

"I don’t know," Mrs. Zhang was equally confused, "She never mentioned it at all."

This development was unfamiliar to Mrs. Zhang, but not entirely unknown. "Old Li’s son from work bought a house here when he got married, costing over five thousand per square meter."

"An entire house would cost at least five hundred thousand, and adding renovations, appliances, and furniture, it wouldn’t be less than six hundred thousand," Mrs. Zhang sighed about how the cost of marriage has increased.

While the couple was sighing, Zhang Yu saw them from inside and came out, "Mom and Dad, why are you standing at the door?"

Seeing their daughter walking out from the sales center, the couple was dumbfounded, "Daughter, what are you doing?"

"Buying a house for you, coincidentally there’s a nice one, a three-bedroom apartment." Zhang Yu had just checked the place out and liked it.

A three-bedroom apartment? "Isn’t that over a hundred square meters?" Mrs. Zhang blurted out.

Zhang Yu nodded, "I think it’s quite good. Xiao Zhang, my parents are here, let’s look at the house again."

A young girl who was already waiting nearby greeted them, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie, I will take you to see the house."

The couple followed their daughter to see the house, "It’s an elevator building," Mrs. Zhang noted the clean elevator and found the high price justified.

After exiting the elevator, Xiao Zhang started introducing the house, "This house has one elevator and one staircase, with two families per floor, north-south ventilation."

After the introduction, Mrs. Zhang felt this house was quite good, "The room facing north can be a study." A place for the daughter to work when she comes home.

As for the south-facing room, one is for the couple to live in, and one for their daughter.

What made Mrs. Zhang even happier was the master bedroom having an ensuite bathroom, meaning there’s no need to go all the way out to the main entrance to use the restroom at night.

In her happiness, Mrs. Zhang discussed with her husband how to arrange the house; hearing their discussion, Zhang Yu knew her parents were very satisfied with this home.

"Mom and Dad, don’t leave the study as it is. Make it a storage room for clothes and bedding."

"Mom, you’ve always said that some clothes lose their shape after being tossed around. Just hang coats and things directly, with top cabinets for beddings, and split the lower ones into two layers: hang winter ones on top, spring and summer ones below."

"Set up a desk near the window, for when I need to work when I come home, I can handle tasks as well," Zhang Yu compromised seeing Mrs. Zhang insist on a study, "Anyway, I won’t be back often."

Mrs. Zhang thought it over and agreed, not insisting further, "When can this house be transferred?" Zhang Yu was straightforward.

"After full payment or when the bank loan is disbursed, the certificate can be processed." Saleswoman Xiao Zhang didn’t expect the deal to go so smoothly.

"Okay," Zhang Yu paused, "If paying in full, is there any discount?" Regardless, it’s never wrong to ask.

Saleswoman Xiao Zhang didn’t expect this client to pay in one go, "Certainly, you can buy a garage for a discounted price of five thousand, just below."

This discount was recently launched as business was tough with no buyers, so they bundled it with the house for promotion.

Even at half-price, no one bought, so since Zhang Yu asked, it was offered to her.

"Five thousand for a garage." Zhang Yu felt this price was not high, "How big, can I look?"

"Of course," Saleswoman Xiao Zhang escorted Zhang Yu and her family to see the garage.

Mrs. Zhang tugged at Zhang Yu, "Daughter, our family doesn’t have a car, why buy that?" After all, it’s a five thousand investment.

Is a five thousand garage expensive? It’s an independent garage, Zhang Yu felt it wasn’t costly, yet against current prices, it’s a bit steep.

Xiao Zhang unlocked a garage door, "Here it is."

Standing at the garage entrance, Zhang Yu could feel the garage being quite large, over twenty square meters at least. At five thousand, the price was indeed reasonable.

Don’t mention a sedan; even a motorhome could fit in, with space for racks on the sides to store things.

With a garage this spacious, renting it out could easily fetch seven to eight hundred a month, "The garage is quite big, can the price be lowered a bit more?"

Xiao Zhang did not expect such generosity from this buyer, about to say it was already a discounted price.

"Three garages together for ten thousand," Zhang Yu was straightforward in giving her offer.

Considering the price, Xiao Zhang thought it over, "I’ll need to consult my manager."

"Alright," Zhang Yu knew the price drop was significant, and a small salesperson might not have the final say.

After some negotiation, they settled at eighty thousand for a one hundred thirty square meter three-bedroom, two living room, two bathroom house, including three garages.

Watching the sales contract being brought out, Zhang Yu promptly let Mr. Zhang sign, "Under our name?" The couple hesitated, "Not under your name."

"No need, just put it under your name to give you peace of mind," Zhang Yu said, taking out a bank card from her wallet, "Swipe the card."

Seeing Zhang Yu’s insistence, Mr. Zhang said, "Fine, what’s ours is yours too."

Mr. Zhang finalized signing his name, followed by Mrs. Zhang, the couple signing happily, "People often have parents buying houses for their children, in our case, it’s the child buying for us."

"Uncle and Auntie, you’re really lucky," Saleswoman Xiao Zhang was envious, as they often struggled to save enough to buy even a small two-bedroom apartment here, unsure of how long it would take.

"Yes, our daughter is very filial," Mrs. Zhang was indeed thrilled, wiping away tears of joy.
