Chapter 25 That's it
"The house is not far from here, just next to Shang Kwai Chung."
Liang Yining drove Lin Jing and the others all the way south, with a short speed and walked for about twenty minutes.
"From here, it's not far from the front. There is a bus stop about fifty meters behind this intersection, and there are three bus lines passing by nearby, and there are about one every eight minutes. When I was in the first year, I stayed here for a while and felt that the transportation was quite convenient."
While talking, the car turned into a "small path" at the intersection. It was called a "small path", but in fact, it was only more than enough to accommodate two cars driving side by side compared to the four-lane road in both directions.
Go forward through the "trail", and the side of the lane is surrounded by landscape trees up to three or four meters high and low and neat artificial bushes. From time to time, you can see the houses hidden in it.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a small yard.
"After my uncle immigrated, no one lived in the house. You can wait a while and I will open the door." Liang Yining explained and got out of the car and opened the door.
After entering the yard, a two-story house with an area of 140 to 50 square meters appeared in front of everyone.
"It looks a bit historical from the outside, but it's really a bit old, but it's still OK inside, at least there's no problem with the living." Liang Yining parked the car in front of the house and said a little unhappy.
She saw that the yard was full of fallen leaves and branches, and even plastic bags, newspapers and other garbage floating in from somewhere. The outside of the house looked miserable, rainy and sun-drying. Several glass windows on the second floor were broken, and the lonely window lattices slapped the walls in a burst with the wind.
She didn't expect that the house was not inhabited for only two months and it looked so old and was not much better than a haunted house. If she had known it before, she would hire a hourly worker to clean it first, at least not as ugly as it is now, which made her feel very embarrassed.
"Wow, the house is so big, and there is also a separate yard. You can build a swing rack here in the future. Even if you don't go to the park, you can play with it." Lin Si came out of the car and looked around for a week and screamed excitedly.
"Why are you doing a swing? I told you that you should cut off these trees, lay the concrete floor, and add a basketball rack." After hearing his sister's advice, Lin Yan couldn't wait to express his thoughts.
"You still have ideas. If my uncle and others could ask you for advice, they wouldn't be bored to immigrate." Liang Yining praised.
"Let's go in and take a look first. If it feels right, find someone to repair and paint." Liang Yining said quietly and winked at Lin Jing.
After receiving Lin Jing's response, she took out the key to unlock the lock.
Unexpectedly, even the door lock seemed to have been rusted for too long, and she was sweating profusely.
After finally opening the lock, Liang Yining pushed the door hard.
With a rustling sound, the dust deposited on the edge of the door fell, and a pungent smell of dust suddenly filled the air.
"Ahem, there's a little bit of dust." Liang Yining said embarrassedly, "Let's open the doors and windows first to let the air circulate."
After the dust and moldy smell in the house were gone, Liang Yining continued to introduce it.
"The first floor is two living rooms, one bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom, living room and dining room, a warehousing room, kitchen and bathroom." Liang Yining said while pressing the fluorescent light switch, and when he walked to the kitchen, he twisted the faucet again. "The electricity has not been cut off, and the water is still on."
"The second floor is three bedrooms and one bathroom, one master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms... As for the second floor, there is a loft, with only one room, which is as big as the master bedroom on the second floor, and has a similar layout. I used to live there. Because I like to see the scenery, I live far and wide."
When Liang Yining introduced the layout of the house, he would occasionally mention some interesting things about his life here before.
"Dad, why don't you take Ayan first and Sisi go up and take a look. I'll talk to Yining about something?" Lin Jing said to his father after Liang Yining had finished introducing it.
"Yes." Lin Liwei agreed and went upstairs with the excited second little girl.
After they left, Lin Jing immediately pulled Liang Yining outside the yard, put on a "threatening" attitude, and said, "You must have pretended to meet by chance just now. I honestly told you what's going on in this house? What kind of conspiracy do you have?"
"There is a Liang Yining who is even more unfair than Dou E here. Why doesn't it snow?" Liang Yining did not answer Lin Jing's question, but instead looked up at the sky with an unjust look on his face.
"Speak or not, otherwise no one in the sky or underground can save you?" Lin Jing glared at her.
"I want me to say yes, but I just ask you, you can't lie." Liang Yining finally "submitted" when Lin Jing was about to use her "strange skills".
"Yes, but you have to explain everything clearly."
One person said one by one, you go back and forth, and one minute later, the two reached an agreement.
"I'm going to start talking, but before you can say it, you must make a guarantee that you can't laugh during the process of saying it."
"no problem."
"The house was my uncle's before, and I have already said that it is true that he immigrated. However, before immigrating, he threw two bags to me and said what he would leave to me as a dowry in the future. Don't laugh." Liang Yining warned seriously, "Do you think he is too stingy? He is a billionaire, but... are you still laughing?"
"Okay, I promise I won't laugh anymore." Having said that, Lin Jing, who couldn't help laughing, started to laugh as soon as she finished speaking.
"Just laugh, it's my turn to ask, you're crying." Liang Yining said with gritted teeth and gritted his teeth.
"What is the market price of the house?" Lin Jing finally stopped laughing and thought about it and asked.
"It's 300,000 or 400,000, based on your current value, you won it just by taking it." Liang Yining suddenly said with emotion, "I didn't expect that you had just graduated from the sixth grade and suddenly became a great writer in more than two months. You have the ability to make money and support your family to buy a house. I am as old as you, but I am still a rice worm."
"Thirty or four hundred thousand is really not expensive."
In this era, you can buy a good unit for more than 100,000 yuan. The house in front of you, which is similar to the villa, is not very ideal, except that the location is not very ideal. Liang Yining said that it is worth 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, but in fact, he deliberately said that it is much lower.
"Actually, I'm really here to find you this time, and there are three things."
Liang Yinning said seriously.
"First, the graduation party is tomorrow. I am worried that you, the little girl who is a part-time scribe, will forget you, and come to you as a memorandum in advance. Second, I finally found out that you are the 'Lin Jing' of "Heroes", and the author of "Kunlun" and "The Time I Can't Go Back". You have hidden me for so long, seriously hurting my young and fragile heart, so I came to settle the score with you. Third, I hope to get the copyright of your three novels."
Lin Jing waited for her to finish her speech and immediately retorted: "First, I haven't forgotten the graduation party, but I also thank you for reminding me that it's not decided to not go or go. Second, I have never denied that I am the 'Lin Jing'. You denied me first, so it's not my fault. Third, if you really want and have the ability, you can."
Regarding the copyright of those three novels, the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao and Oriental Daily talked to her about this issue as early as the beginning of the serialization. But she felt that she would make plans after the serialization was completed and then look at the market reaction before making plans, so she did not agree.
"Okay, you've passed this time."
"How much do you want to rent?"
"A thousand a month, if you make a big money as a great writer, of course I also have to make some pocket money as a housekeeper."
"Are you sure it's one thousand months?"
"Just treat it as a bribe to you and let you hand over the copyright to me, right?"
"Why do you have to publish the copyright?"
"Didn't I say before that my uncle left me two things? You have read the house, and the other is a publishing house. The reason why I want the publication rights of your three novels is that, first, I like these three novels very much, and I hope to read them as soon as possible; second, the publishing house is currently on the verge of bankruptcy and urgently needs some books that have the possibility of best-selling to save it. There is no doubt that the three novels that have been partially proven are best-selling. Lin Da Talented Woman, do you have the heart to watch my 'dowry' go with the wind?"
Liang Yining said as she opened her eyes wide and stared at Lin Jing. Her eyes were watery, as if Lin Jing's tears would fall immediately after she refused.
"Uncle, I'm down. Have you seen it? What do you think?" Lin Jing was about to answer, but Liang Yining suddenly pulled out the tone and looked behind her and asked.
It turned out that Lin Liwei and Erjia had already finished watching and came downstairs.
"A good house." Lin Liwei answered simply.
Liang Yining was still waiting for the next sentence when he got affirmation, but unexpectedly there was only one sentence.
Lin Jing thought about it for a moment and understood her father's mood.
His personality is that he would rather endure more than seek help from others, let alone owe favors.
He knew very well that this house was not something that he could rent. If he could rent it, he would definitely owe everyone favors, so he simply didn't ask, and just praised the house and it was over.
But Lin Jing had his own plans this time: "Dad, let's just go here. When I go out and look for it, it will be difficult to find a better one than here. The rent of the house is only 2,000 yuan a month. When my novel is published, I can afford it."
"Yes, uncle. This house cannot be sold but can only be rented, but I am not at all relieved to rent it to people who don't know the details. It's better to leave it to you and just treat it as if I help me take care of it, so as not to be dilapidated for too long." Liang Yining said, glared at Lin Jing quietly, as if she was blaming her for raising the rent by 1,000.
After several remarks, Lin Liwei felt that his eldest daughter had decided and agreed, and it would be too pretentious to object, so he nodded.
"yeah!"
Lin Yan and Lin Si jumped up with joy when they saw it.
