The following morning.
Oasis Vision’s sales office.
Yang Hao directly bought two apartments, both with the largest area of 146 square meters.
In Henghe County Town, this community was considered high-end housing. The apartments featured a design with two elevators serving two units each, and the two apartments Yang Hao bought were adjacent to each other.
If Jiang Shuyun ever wanted to move back to her hometown, she would have her sister’s family next door to look after her.
One of the apartments was registered in the name of the nanny, Jiang Yuqi, while the other was directly under the name of Jiang Shuhui.
Of course, Yang Hao only signed a contract and paid the money today, leaving the two people’s identity information; they would need to use their own ID cards to handle the property certificate in the future.
It took Yang Hao no more than twenty minutes to purchase the apartments before and after, leaving the sales staff dumbfounded. Although the houses in the county town were inexpensive, a 146-square-meter apartment still cost 480,000 yuan.
The two apartments totaled 960,000 yuan, yet this man didn’t even look at the show apartment but simply looked at the floor plans, chose the floors, and paid.
They could only say that they truly did not understand the world of the wealthy.
Henghe Homeland.
Jiang Shufen’s family had just finished breakfast.
They were a family of five living in a 93-square-meter apartment.

The son and daughter-in-law, along with their little grandson, stayed in the master bedroom; Jiang Shufen and her partner occupied the second bedroom.
Originally, they moved in together to make it easier to look after the child, with Jiang Shufen thinking about having her son around in her old age.
But after living together, she realized that things were not as wonderful as she imagined. The age-old problem of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was particularly evident in their living arrangement.
The daughter-in-law, Zhang Huan, had a dominant personality. At the beginning, she could concede to Jiang Shufen, her mother-in-law, but as time passed, conflicts began to emerge, and they had several direct confrontations.
Jiang Shufen now profoundly regretted the decision to sell the old house and pay in full for this new one. If they had opted for a mortgage, she and her partner could have stayed in the old house, avoiding conflict with her daughter-in-law.
“Mom, are you going to the hospital to see your aunt today?”
As the family was gathered around the dining table for a meal, Jiang Shufen’s son, Tian Chao, asked.
“Qiqi is back; what do I need to go there for.”
“Besides, what if your aunt can’t pay her medical bills and asks me for a loan? Do I lend her the money or not?” Jiang Shufen glared at her son Tian Chao, who had inherited his father’s spineless character.
Tian Chao sighed, “Auntie has it tough, too…”
“Who has it easy!”
“Is our family having an easy time??
Zhang Huan, the daughter-in-law, joined the conversation, for once on the same side with her mother-in-law, giving her husband a sharp look, “For our family of five, it’s all about money!”
“And, are you still looking to buy an apartment? Ruirui is getting bigger, and he can’t live with us forever!”
“A two-bedroom apartment is not spacious enough!!”
When Zhang Huan made this comment, she deliberately glanced at her in-laws, implying that they were occupying a room.
Naturally, in Zhang Huan’s view, the most ideal scenario was to buy another apartment.
Houses in Henghe County weren’t expensive. A 146-square-meter apartment in Oasis Vision was only 480,000 yuan, with a down payment of just under 150,000 yuan being the preferred choice for improvement.
Zhang Huan knew that her in-laws had saved some money over the years, and they had some savings as a couple. Together they could almost afford the down payment; if it were not enough, they could borrow some more and then ask her in-laws to help repay the loan—then their family of three could move into the 146-square-meter “mansion.”
She had been entertaining this idea for a while but had not found the opportunity to discuss it with her in-laws.
“Ruirui is getting older; he does need a room of his own.”
Jiang Shufen nodded in agreement; she also had her own thoughts about buying a house.
She and her partner had saved 50,000 yuan and were considering asking their son and daughter-in-law to contribute another 50,000. With 100,000 yuan, they could buy an approximately 50-square-meter apartment in an old community, which would be enough for the old couple.
Zhang Huan hadn’t expected her mother-in-law to agree with her, and her eyes lit up. She took the opportunity to continue the discussion, “Mom, I went with a friend to look at apartments in Oasis Vision the other day. The community has excellent greenery.
The real estate market isn’t doing well right now, and a 146-square-meter apartment there is only selling for 480,000 yuan, with a down payment of around 150,000.”
“How about we pool some money for a down payment and buy a set? That way, we would have two apartments, and we’d definitely have enough room!”
Zhang Huan was somewhat shrewd; she didn’t specify who would live in the new house, nor did she bring up having her in-laws help repay the loan.
In her plan, these matters could be discussed later; the priority was to buy the house first. If they truly couldn’t repay the loan later, could her in-laws bear to watch their son and grandson end up on the streets?
“480,000 yuan?”
“That’s way too expensive!”
“Our family can’t afford that!!”
Jiang Shufen decisively shook her head, then added, “Buying a house is not out of the question, but there’s no need for such a big one. I think an old apartment in Red Star Community can be bought for 100,000. Your father and I could move there, and the three of you could continue living in this apartment.”
“However, we don’t have that much savings to buy a house right now; you would need to put forth 50,000.”
“We put up 50,000?”
Zhang Huan’s brow furrowed instantly. Although she could afford the 50,000 yuan, this money would only buy an old apartment that would not improve their living environment at all.
The current apartment couldn’t compare with the 146-square-meter one at Oasis Vision; they were simply from different eras.
