“A 100,000 yuan house, how can one live in that!”
“It’s so nice for you and dad to live here,” Zhang Huan said.
“What’s wrong with living there? I think it’s quite nice!”
“And who’s going to repay the mortgage for a 480,000 yuan house??” Old Jiang, always the cunning one, Jiang Shufen immediately guessed what her daughter-in-law was thinking.
Her son’s salary was just 3,300 yuan a month, and his wife was still looking for a job. Not to mention that it’s hard to find a job now, even if she found one, the salary in this small county would only be about two or three thousand. Even if both of them were working, their monthly income would be five or six thousand at best.
With a family to feed and a child to raise, there would be no money left to repay the mortgage.
“I’ve done the math, borrowing three hundred and thirty-something thousand, the monthly repayment won’t be that much…”
“Even the small amount would be one or two thousand, won’t it? Chao’s job isn’t stable, and you’re still jobless, how dare you take on a mortgage!”
“Isn’t that what all young people do these days!”
“That’s because they earn more.”
“…”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law debated fiercely, and as a result, neither could persuade the other.
Just as the two were red in the face from arguing, Tian Chao suddenly said, “Auntie is going to Jiangcheng for treatment, and Third Aunt is going with her to take care of her!”
Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately stopped their quarrel and turned to Tian Chao.
“Who said that?” Jiang Shufen asked.
“Third Aunt just said it in the family chat.”
Tian Chao shook his cellphone. The Jiang Family had a total of five siblings; Jiang Shuyun and her two sisters, plus two brothers who both lived in Changshi. Normally, everyone would chat in the family group and share everyday stuff.
Two minutes ago, Jiang Shuhui mentioned in the group that she would be going to Jiangcheng with her eldest sister.
“Eldest sister is actually going to Jiangcheng for treatment, and the third one is following,”
“Whose expense will that be??”
Jiang Shufen looked suspicious. The cost of living in Jiangcheng would naturally be higher than that in a small county like Henghe. Food and drink were minor issues; the main concern was the much higher cost of housing.
Yet, the financial situations of both the eldest sister Jiang Shuyun and third sister Jiang Shuhui were clearly not good!
“Probably Qiqi will take care of it,” Tian Chao guessed.
“Qiqi, a kindergarten teacher, where would she get that kind of money?” Jiang Shufen curled her lip.
“It has nothing to do with whether or not she has money. Qiqi has to work, and Auntie has no one to take care of her, so she can only take her to Jiangcheng,” Tian Chao analyzed.
“Then why is the third one going too??”
“Auntie still has no one to take care of her during the day when Qiqi is at work, so the Third Aunt is going over to help!”
Jiang Shufen nodded slightly, finding her son’s analysis to make sense.
“Mom, actually, if you’d be willing to help out, Auntie and the others wouldn’t have to make the trip to Jiangcheng. You have nothing to do during the day anyway, just go and keep Auntie company at her place,”
Tian Chao often played at his aunt’s house when he was little, so he was quite close to her.
“Who told you I have nothing to do during the day.”
“You don’t understand anything!” Jiang Shufen glared at her son fiercely.
“What are you thinking, Tian Chao, asking mom to be Auntie’s unpaid nanny, huh?”
Zhang Huan also glared fiercely at her husband. She was on the same side as her mother-in-law on this matter.
There’s a common saying among the people: the character of a mother-in-law is reflected in her daughter-in-law.
And indeed, Jiang Shufen and Zhang Huan, as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, really did share similar traits.
Kang Village.
Yang Hao came to Jiang Shuhui’s house once again.
“Third Uncle, you should also take a trip to the county town with us; there’s something I need to deal with,”
After loading Jiang Shuhui’s luggage into the trunk, Yang Hao then spoke to Liu Guangfu.
“To the county town?”
Liu Guangfu looked puzzled.
“To the hospital to lend a hand!” Jiang Shuhui glared at the man.
“Alright!”
Liu Guangfu quickly nodded and then followed them into the car.
“Wow!”
“This car is really spacious!”
Seated in the back, Liu Guangfu couldn’t help but express his amazement and then curiously examined the interior, “Yang, what kind of car is this?”
“Wenjie M9.”
Yang, already in the driver’s seat, replied.
Liu Guangfu had never heard of this brand of car and didn’t ask any further.
The twenty-something-kilometer journey passed in a flash. After arriving at the hospital, Yang Hao gave the head nurse a red envelope to ask her to take care of Jiang Shuyun for a while; then he picked up Jiang Yuqi and went to the real estate transaction hall.
“Yang, aren’t we going to Jiangcheng?”
Seeing that Yang Hao didn’t pick up the eldest sister, Jiang Shuhui was very puzzled.
“We’ll go in a bit.”
Yang Hao didn’t explain much. He had already arranged with a real estate agent to help smooth things over, and he planned to get the property title sorted out today to avoid further hassle.
“`
Once they arrived at the property transaction hall, the two parties met.
It was then that Yang Hao said to Jiang Yuqi and Jiang Shuhui, “Qiqi, you and your third aunt follow Miss Zhang here to take care of the property deed.”
“Property deed??”
Jiang Yuqi and Jiang Shuhui were both completely baffled.
“I bought two houses this morning, hurry up and sort it out.”
“I’m in a rush to get back to Jiangcheng!”
For Yang Hao at the moment, a house worth four or five hundred thousand really wasn’t much, a random buff could reward him with a hundred and eighty thousand.
So, he didn’t make much of a fuss about it; he just wanted to make sure he properly arranged things for his little housekeeper’s family and completed the task perfectly.
Of course, this was also a kind of sugar-coated bomb.
He couldn’t give Jiang Yuqi a formal status, so he could only compensate materially, and the house in this small county city was just a convenient gesture.
Jiang Yuqi was aware of her boss’s financial strength, and after briefly being stunned, she realized that their relationship had changed, and that’s why her boss had bought her a house in her hometown.
As for the third aunt, it was probably by association.
Because she told Yang Hao about her family and the third aunt’s situation yesterday. Although the third aunt’s family wasn’t wealthy, they had always been kind to them, even rushing to the hospital yesterday to take care, so this was her way of repaying the kindness on her behalf.
But Jiang Shuhui was thoroughly confused; she knew that Yang Hao was wealthy, but she didn’t expect him to be generous enough to give a house.
This was too fantastical!
It was just like a dream!
Liu Guangfu was even more bewildered; this straightforward farmer didn’t quite grasp what Yang Hao meant, mainly because he couldn’t quite believe that someone would just give away a house.
“The two of you, I’ve got everything arranged on my end,” Zhang said.
“Hurry up and go inside.”
The property sales representative Zhang pocketed three thousand from Yang Hao, with fifteen hundred going to the staff, leaving her with a net profit of fifteen hundred, so naturally, she was very proactive.
“Go on, then!”
Yang softly touched the little housekeeper’s forehead. Enjoy more content from M V L
“Okay, will do.”
With things at this point, Jiang Yuqi didn’t say any more, pulling her third aunt Jiang Shuhui into the property transaction hall.
“Wait for me.”
Liu Guangfu also curiously followed them in.
Yang Hao, on the other hand, went back to the car, then made a call to his secretary, Xu Yali, to ask about the progress on furnishing the house.
The feedback was that basic furniture and appliances could be delivered in a short while; background noise of workers talking could be heard through the phone, clearly indicating that the secretary was also busy.
Yang Hao hung up the phone satisfied, thinking about gifting his secretary a Patek Philippe as a reward when he got back.
About forty minutes later, Jiang Yuqi and Jiang Shuhui had completed the property deed.
The little housekeeper walked ahead, while Jiang Shuhui and Liu Guangfu, flipping through the property deed, were both in shock.
The house was 146 square meters, and it was under Jiang Shuhui’s name.
Something they wouldn’t even dare to dream of had happened.
The reason was merely that she had helped take care of the eldest sister.
But this was something she was supposed to do!!
Jiang Shuhui felt the property deed was burning hot in her hands. As the saying goes, “One should not take rewards without merit!”
She felt she hadn’t done anything to deserve it.
Yet, she had received such a huge benefit.
“Shuhui, when you get to Jiangcheng, you must take good care of your eldest sister,” Liu Guangfu earnestly advised, regaining his composure after the shock.
“Like you need to tell me.”
“Let alone a month or two, I wouldn’t have any problems taking care of the eldest sister forever!” Jiang Shuhui whispered.
“Just who is this Yang? He’s got too much money!”
“He must be some big boss; we’ll find out once we get to Jiangcheng…” The couple murmured to each other.
At that moment, Yang Hao got out of the car and said to Liu Guangfu, “Third uncle, follow Zhang and let her take you to handle the check-in procedures. The house is fully furnished, just add some furniture and you can move in.”
“Uh, sure!”
Liu Guangfu nodded heavily, his heart surging with emotion.
And it was only then that he realized why Yang Hao had asked him to come to the county city.
He was there to pick up his house!
Liu Guangfu followed Zhang for a few steps, then suddenly turned around, and without saying anything, bowed deeply to Yang Hao.
This honest farmer didn’t have much to say, but to his family, this was an enormous favor.
With this house, his daughter wouldn’t have to stay in a school dormitory anymore, and this would provide a better learning environment.
With their own place in the city, they would now be considered semi-urbanites!
