1011 Selling the House

“Of course! I’m here to convey the Su family’s intention to pay compensation. They’re willing to compensate 5,000 dollars to Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang for the losses. As for how the two of you want to split the money, it doesn’t matter to the Su family. They are only offering a total of 5,000 dollars,” Zou Ming said slowly.

Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang turned to look at Qiao Mei at the same time. The amount of 5,000 dollars was not a small sum. It was enough for them to live in the capital for five years without having to worry about their daily expenses! In fact, Zhou Shuang did not even need to rent a house anymore. She could even buy over her current house!

Qiao Mei looked at the expressions on the faces of Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang, and then at Zou Ming’s sincere attitude. However, she was still not satisfied. This offer of 5,000 dollars definitely did not originate from Old Madam Fan. With Old Madam Fan’s stingy character, how could she be willing to give them money? It was already good enough that she did not come to their houses to beat them up or scold them.

It seemed that someone else had made the decision for Old Madam Fan. During this period of time, she had also asked around about Old Madam Fan’s family and had heard a little about them.

“It’s not impossible to settle at 5,000 dollars, but the medical fees have to be calculated separately. It cannot be within the scope of compensation. Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang have the receipts for their hospitalization fees. The total amount is 643 dollars and 59 cents and we will not accept a single cent less. If that is alright, then we will accept what is being proposed at this mediation session. At the same time, Su Yang has to personally come and hand over the money to my two elder sisters. He will also have to apologize sincerely,” Qiao Mei said sternly.

Zou Ming was not sure if the Su family still had any more money, but Qiao Mei’s request was very reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

“I’ll discuss this matter with the Su family again and I’ll call you when there’s a conclusion,” Zou Ming said.

At this moment, Sun Juan said, “Officer Zou, let’s do as Qiao Mei says. We’ll go along with whatever Qiao Mei says. If there’s anything you need us to do, just let us know. It’s not so convenient for Qiao Mei to move around.”

Qiao Mei smiled and looked at Sun Juan. Her efforts had not been not in vain. These two elder sisters now knew how to think for her well-being. In the future, they would become Li Gui’s good helpers in the business.

“Alright, I’ll contact you if I need anything.” After Zou Ming finished taking notes, he left Qiao Mei’s house and returned to the police station.

Qiao Mei looked at the two women and asked, “Are your houses owned or rented?”

“My ex-husband left my current place to me after the divorce. It can be considered my own house, but it’s actually a room that’s part of a bigger courtyard house. It’s much smaller than yours, but it’s enough for me to live alone,” Sun Juan said factually.

For Zhou Shuang, they all knew that her house was rented. Besides, she still had two sons. She did not even know how her two sons would be able to get married in the future!

“There are still a few empty rooms in the courtyard house where you prepare the corn. The kitchen there has already been renovated and installed with floor heating. If you want to buy your own place, I can sell two rooms there to you,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei had bought the house for 9,500 dollars and the renovation had cost more than 2,000 dollars. Altogether, it had cost her about 13,000 dollars. If she sold them a room each for 2,500 dollars, she would still make a profit. Most importantly, she would not have to hire anyone to keep an eye on the corn in that courtyard. It was equivalent to getting two security guards for free!

Furthermore, there would be no need for her to find a cleaner for the courtyard house. Whenever the women had nothing to do, they could go and pluck the corn kernels. If they did that, they would definitely be able to earn more than they did now.

“That house of yours is worth a lot of money! We can’t afford it!” Zhou Shuang said awkwardly.

“It’s not that much. If I do a quick calculation, it’s about 2,500 dollars per room. You can use the kitchen and bathroom as you please. Of course, those areas are not part of the transaction as it’s considered the common area. All the furniture inside the room is included in the price. I’ll sell it to you as a package. If you are interested, I’ll sell each of you a room. Don’t tell anyone about this. I’ll only sell to the two of you. I won’t sell to anyone else. You also know that houses are something that I don’t lack,” Qiao Mei said.

It was not something that they could decide on their own right away. Zhou Shuang had to go back and discuss it with her husband, while Sun Juan had to go home to see how much savings she had left. After all, she still had to save some money for her retirement! She was not young anymore and would have to make sure that she had enough for her funeral expenses in the future.

“There’s no hurry. It’s not as if my house will run away. Come and talk to me when you’ve made a decision. As long as the two of you are the buyers, the price will always be 2,500 dollars,” Qiao Mei said earnestly.
