Although it was a cram school, the classes were still very intense. Furthermore, he had never been to the kitchen and did not know how to cook.
She had wanted to bring Liu Guihua over, but she was very busy now.
First, Li Xiang and Li Nian were on vacation, so she had to stay at home to look after the children. Secondly, Li Miao and Gong Wenbaiâs wedding date was approaching, and there were still many things to prepare.
Gong Wenbai didnât have any elders who could take charge, so Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming had to worry about him.
Fortunately, Wang Yuechu had nothing to do and agreed to come.
Although Wenwen and Shuoshuo were also on leave, the children were all grown up and did not need to take care of them.
The night before National Day, Zhang Kun got off work and went straight back to his hometown.
When he arrived, it was already close to seven oâclock.
Zhang Jun, Hao Melting, Zhang Yao, and Wei Zhenghao had just eaten.
âBig Brother, have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?â Wei Zhenghao saw Zhang Kun and quickly stood up to ask.
Zhang Kun ignored him and went straight into the house.
The year before last, the three siblings each contributed a little money to demolish the tile-roofed house and rebuild a big house.
There were more rooms, so Wei Zhenghao moved in.
The two of them were like playing house now. They were living as husband and wife, but they were still divorced.
Therefore, Zhang Kun still didnât like Wei Zhenghao and didnât even want to talk to him.
Wei Zhenghaoâs temper had been restrained over the years.
Seeing that Zhang Kun ignored him, he wasnât annoyed. He smiled and sat down to eat.
âWhy are you only eating now?â Zhang Kun asked after entering the house.
Wang Yuechu was wrapping Wenwenâs book, âShe went to water the field and came back late. Have you eaten?â
Zhang Kun nodded, â1 ate at the office before coming over.â
In the past few years, Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao had rented a few acres of land. When there was a lot of work in the fields, they would help each other.
Wang Yuechu instructed the two children beside her, âBe obedient at home these few days. Donât be naughty. Iâll be back in a few days. 1â11 bring you delicious food then.â
Wenwen was tall and sturdy. One was eleven years old this year, and the other was eight years old. They were both considered big children.
Hearing this, they all nodded obediently and promised to be obedient at home.
Wang Yuechu looked at Zhang Kun again, âSit here. Iâll leave after Iâm done with the book cover.â
âItâs alright, thereâs no hurry,â said Zhang Kun.
He sat down on the sofa and turned on the television.
Wenwen and Shuoshuo had basically been taken care of by Wang Yuechu for the past two years. She definitely couldnât bear to go out for a week, so she let them stay a little longer.
âBig Brother, you want to buy a house in B City. Do you have enough money?â After Zhang Yao finished her meal, she sat down beside Zhang Kun.
âI just bought a car, so 1 donât have much money. Your Sister-in-law and 1 plan to sell both houses in the county. We should be able to get the down payment.â
Previously, they didnât know much about the housing prices in B City, so they thought that if they worked hard, they would be able to get the full price.
After Li Miao helped to look at a few houses, she realized that the housing prices in B City were too expensive.
Cheap places cost four to five thousand yuan per square meter, while better places cost six to seven thousand yuan per square meter. A house that was about a hundred square meters was close to one million yuan.
He sighed, âIf 1 had known earlier, 1 wouldnât have bought this car. I would have saved this money to buy a house.â
The more he thought about it recently, the more he felt that his daughter was right!
If a car was bought, it would depreciate. He wanted to sell the car, but it wasnât worth it now. If he sold it, he would lose at least 70,000 to 80,000.
Even if you only drove one kilometer, as long as you bought it and sold it, it would be a second-hand car. It was better to keep it and drive it yourself!
Now, he could only gather the money and pay the down payment first. Then, he could slowly repay the loan. Fortunately, his wifeâs shops were quite profitable. He estimated that he could repay the loan in three to four years.
Zhang Kun sighed, âI realized that your Sister-in-law and 1 donât have a good financial mindset. With money, it was easy to be hot-headed and buy useless things. In our family, the one with the best financial mindset is Yuanyuan.â âReally?â Zhang Yao asked curiously.
âOf course, itâs true. Our Yuanyuan has loved to read since she was young and is well-informed. Your Sister-in-law opened a shop, and many of her ideas came from her. She was the one who suggested buying a house now.â
âNow that we thought about it, housing prices had indeed risen a lot in the past few years. They might even rise again in the future. The house was definitely going to be used. When Zixuan graduated from university, he might still have to stay in B City to work, get married, and have children. Anyway, Weâll have to buy it sooner or later. Itâs better to buy it as soon as possible while we can afford it.â
âBrother, let me discuss something with you.â Zhang Yao smiled.
Zhang Kun looked at his sister suspiciously, âWhat is it? Tell me.â
âWenwen is about to enter junior high school. I want to buy your house and move to the county.â
Zhang Kun looked at Wei Zhenghao and frowned. He asked Zhang Yao in a low voice, âYour idea?â
Zhang Yao knew what he was thinking. She still felt a little embarrassed when she thought of them trying to occupy her brotherâs house.
âDonât worry, 1 wonât take advantage of you,â she explained immediately. âIâll give you whatever the market price is. As long as you agree, Iâll withdraw the money for you immediately tomorrow. In addition, 1 still have some spare money on hand. 1 probably wonât be able to use it in the next few years, so I can lend it to you.â
Zhang Jun, who was eating downstairs, also said, âBig Brother, I have some here too. Try not to take out a loan. The interest of a commercial loan is too high. Itâs not worth it.â
Wang Yuechu also said, âXiaojun is right. Letâs all pool together. Try not to take out loans.â
Zhang Kun didnât say anything. He lowered his head and thought about Zhang Yaoâs suggestion.
He would definitely be happy to sell the house to Zhang Yao. After all, he had chosen the house carefully back then.
The family had lived there for quite some time and had feelings for the house.
Now that he had no choice but to sell it, he also wanted to find a good owner for the house.
He understood Zhang Yao. She would definitely take good care of his house in the future.
âSure, if youâre willing to buy it, Iâm definitely willing to sell it.â
Just as Zhang Yao was about to speak, Zhang Jun also finished eating and came over, âBrother, donât you have two house? Just sell the other one to me!â âWhat?â Zhang Kun was a little suspicious. âAre you two trying to help me? This house isnât that difficult to sell. Itâs not that 1 canât sell it.â
âWhat are you thinking?â Zhang Jun laughed. âI was thinking that Shuoshuo would be going to school in two years. Junior high school and high school add up to six years. When the time comes, 1 wonât let them run back and forth. 1â11 just buy a house and Melting will go over to accompany them.â
Zhang Kun looked pensive, âHow good would it be if you bought a house in the city? The schools there are better than those in the county.â
âSister and 1 donât have much ability. Weâre not like Sister-in-law who knows how to do business. We still have to farm in this village to earn money. We canât leave here. If we bought it in the city, it would be too far away. We are probably wonât be able to see our family for ten days to half a month. If I bought it in the county. 1 can go and see them every three or five days. Itâs pretty good. As weâre neighbors with Sister, we can still take care of each other..â
