In the afternoon, Chen Rui didn't go to haul goods but instead took Chen Feng to look at storefronts suitable for opening a shop. In the end, they took a liking to a rundown, low house near the national highway that had been abandoned.
They found the property owner after asking around briefly and discovered they had some distant relations with their family, which made negotiations relatively easy. After some bargaining, they bought the house and almost an acre of land for 120,000 yuan.
The price was mainly for the land, as the house was several decades old and not worth much.
Of course, in rural areas, such transactions are private and not officially recognized by the government.
