The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 152 I'll Never Foole Grandma Again

Lin Dayuan quickly pulled her aside. He was heartbroken that he had just spent over a million yuan. After whispering something to her, Lin Dayuan nodded emphatically.

There was no other reason than that his daughter said that housing prices would at least triple in the future, and he dared not disbelieve her, after all, his daughter had never failed.

The shop owner watched as a little girl haggled with him, while her father kept agreeing. He was utterly astonished. The main point was that the little girl managed to cut the price down by 100,000 yuan, and he signed the contract in a daze.

On the way back, Lin Dayuan did some quick calculations and realized he was doomed! He only had 585,620 yuan left in his card.

They spent nearly two million in one day, which is a zero off!

"Xiaoxi, I'm leaving this to you, how should I tell your grandma?"

My daughter is capable; if I can't solve something, I'll leave it to her.

"Don't worry, Dad."

When Lin Guiying saw the two return, she asked, "How did it go? Did you find a suitable shop?"

"Yes, Grandma, I think it's perfect, so I just bought it. It's close to my school and also close to our new home."

This sentence contained a lot of information, and Lin Guiying didn't know which question to ask first.

I said I was going to look for a shop when I left this morning, how did I end up buying it and having a new home?

But I still asked the question that concerned me most first, "How much does the shop cost?"

Lin Xi held up her index finger, "One million."

Lin Dayuan turned around abruptly, looking at his daughter in surprise. "What are you saying? Wasn't it 600,000? Why are you saying it's higher?"

Lin Guiying jumped to her feet, craning her neck and shouting, "One million?!"

The sound was so loud it cracked.

"Are you buying a shop or a building? Huh? The shop is covered in gold?"

Lin Xi looked even angrier than Lin Guiying, slamming her hand on the table. "That's right! Grandma, I think so too. Isn't this bullying us?"

She glanced at Lin Dayuan, who, unsure of what his daughter was up to, nodded in agreement.

"So I immediately put on a show of force and used my silver tongue to keep bargaining with him, and finally got it down to 100,000!"

"Nine hundred thousand is still expensive!"

"Yes, so I talked non-stop, using the bargaining skills I learned from my grandmother, and managed to get him down to his bottom price!"

Lin Guiying listened attentively and asked curiously, "How much?"

Lin Xi held up a six on her finger. "Six hundred thousand! Grandma, that's almost a 50% discount! That's a huge store of 150 square meters!" "You know, old ginger is spicier. If I hadn't learned a few tricks from you, I might not have been able to explain it."

This is the truth. No matter what Lin Guiying buys, she always manages to get the merchant completely under her thumb, and the price she quotes is always a little bit higher than your bottom line.

Basically, I'll let you earn, but only a little bit. Neither of us can take advantage of the other.

Lin Xi had been exposed to the brutality of the market vendors since childhood, and had learned a thing or two from Lin Guiying.

Hearing her child say this, Lin Guiying forgot her anger. "You should have taken me with you. If it were me, I could have negotiated 500,000 with him!" "Yes, Grandma, I was thinking at the time, if only you were here."

However, the shop's decor was quite nice, and it would save us a lot of trouble, so we didn't feel comfortable haggling further.

Lin Guiying proudly raised her head, "You're still too green. In business, if you treat me honestly, I'll treat you sincerely in return."

They were up to no good from the start, exaggerating so much, we don't need to be polite, you know?

Lin Xi nodded repeatedly, "Grandma is right, I've learned something."

Lin Guiying then looked at the stunned Da Yuan, "Da Yuan, you should learn from him, you know!"

Lin Dayuan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, thinking, "My daughter is really amazing."

"By the way, what's the deal with the new house?"

Lin Dayuan looked at Lin Xi with trust, waiting for her to make up a lie.

"Grandma, guess how much a 260-square-meter house would cost?"

Lin Guiying immediately recalled the scene of her first visit to Fu Wenyuan's house to become his apprentice; that big villa was truly beautiful.

"It depends on the location! If it's in your master's area, it would cost at least two million."

"What if it comes with luxurious furnishings?"

"Luxury? You'll need to add another two or three hundred thousand."

"If all the furniture and appliances are ready, you can just move in with your bags. The furniture is all solid wood, and the appliances are all high-end!"

"Tsk, I haven't even seen what high-end appliances look like. I guess it'll cost another two or three hundred thousand?"

"So Grandma, it must be close to three million."

"That's right, but those are places for rich people to live in. We ordinary folks can't afford them."

Guiying thought that her child might be envious of others living in big villas, so she added, "Xiaoxi, we don't need to envy them. So what if the house is big? It only takes up one bed at night."

No matter how beautiful it is, it can't be eaten. Even if it's a palace, you can't take it with you when you die.

With this money, we can spend it on food and education, which is much better than living in a big house!

"For us, as long as we're family together, it doesn't matter where we live."

These words brought tears to Lin Xi's eyes. Her grandmother thought she wanted to stay and was trying to comfort her. She suddenly felt guilty. She shouldn't have lied to her grandmother; she should have told the truth.

After hearing this, Lin Dayuan immediately confessed, "Mom, we bought a villa."

Lin Guiying's expression immediately changed. "What?"

"Was I just hallucinating?"

"Grandma, we did buy a villa, the kind I was just talking about."

Seeing that Lin Guiying was about to get angry, he quickly said, "But please don't be angry. We bought it for 1.3 million."

"The previous homeowner was a bit superstitious..."

Lin Xi explained the whole story and told Lin Guiying that housing prices would skyrocket in the future, and they could make money without even lifting a finger.

Enjoying life while investing – how wonderful!

Lin Guiying looked dazed. "So, we're going to live in a villa like your master's?"

"Yes, Grandma, it has five bedrooms and three living rooms. It's really big. I'll take you and Grandpa to see it tomorrow."

"Oh, right, Grandma, there's a yard in the back too. You can raise chickens if you want, or grow vegetables if you want."

"Is it like your master's house, where the kitchen is so big you can't find a pot?"

"Yes, it's five times the size of our kitchen."

"What kind of stairs are they? Are they like the ones in your master's house, built inside?"

"Of course, Grandma, our bedrooms are upstairs, and the living room and kitchen are downstairs."

"Those floor tiles were so shiny, you could use them as mirrors?"

"You'll see for yourself tomorrow. It's exceptionally clean and beautiful, and the stairs are even carpeted."

……

Lin Guiying had lived in the countryside her whole life and had only ever seen Fu Wenyuan's big villa. Everything she did was based on Fu Wenyuan's house, and she kept asking about the details.

After hearing her granddaughter's explanation, she realized that everything was similar to Fu Wenyuan's house, and she felt relieved.

Looking at the expectation in her grandmother's eyes, Lin Xi was happy that she had chosen the right house, and secretly vowed that she would never fool her grandmother again.
