Chapter 88 Bi Lizhu's Abstention

"So you want to gamble on another demolition compensation?" An Jianping asked, frowning.

An Songyu nodded, then shook her head:

"I'm not gambling; I'm just eyeing the current housing prices."

"As for the future, even if there is no demolition, the impact will not be significant."

Upon hearing An Songyu mention housing prices, An Jianping inquired about the details.

Although Yuan Qionghua mentioned it during our conversation earlier, she didn't go into much detail.

An Songyu had already made preparations.

I opened the two maps that my aunt had brought over when she left.

While pointing to those locations and telling An Jianping, he continued:

“Dad, you came from Jiangcun.”

"Then you should also know the biggest difference between buying a house in the city and a house in the village, right?"

“I know!” An Songxiang answered quickly, not wanting to be left out: “Once you buy a house in the city, it’s yours to own, and you can buy and sell it.”

“The houses were built in the village, but they can’t be entirely their own.”

"Although they can be bought and sold, they are basically traded within the village."

“If we sell it to someone from outside… they won’t be able to get a household registration in the village. They’ll just live in the house after buying it.”

In the end, An Songxiang couldn't help but purse her lips.

This is also why the villagers bluntly brought up the fact that the two aunts' families had contracted an orchard in Jiangcun.

An Jianping, however, felt that his daughter was definitely not going to bring up this matter.

He thought for a long time before finally saying, "Is it a residential plot?"

“Yes!” An Songyu nodded affirmatively.

There will only be more and more commercial housing in the future, while houses with homestead land will remain.

Aside from villas, these are the only self-built houses of the original inhabitants in the city.

Although An Songyu was born and raised in the city.

But they are also somewhat different from these genuine indigenous people.

Nowadays, most people prefer clean, safe, and convenient residential communities with easy access to electricity and water.

But in another 10 or 20 years, who knows how many people will like these self-built houses with homesteads?

However, at that time, most people would have to pay more than half of the cost as a down payment for building their own houses.

Moreover, most of the properties they acquire are old, dilapidated, and small, which makes them hesitant to buy.

Only those who actually have some money on hand.

That's why they would buy the old house locally and then demolish it to build a new one.

That's much more comfortable and spacious than living in any neighborhood.

Of course, the various inconveniences of the old town do exist.

Even if a house can be demolished and rebuilt, the surrounding environment is not so easy to change.

Especially after every family owned a car.

The lack of parking spaces and narrow roads in the old town are also reasons why many people hesitate to venture there.

An Jianping did not experience everything that An Songyu experienced.

But he understood all too well the significance of having a homestead versus not having one.

So he began to carefully consider the feasibility of this matter.

He then quietly explained to his wife the benefits of the homestead.

Bi Lizhu was born a city dweller.

She really didn't quite understand the difference.

An Songxiang, An Songlin, and the other two were also listening attentively.

Compared to An Songyu, who had lived in Jiangcun for several months.

They are equally ignorant in this respect.

Once everyone had a good understanding, An Songxiang suddenly clapped her hands:

"So in the demolition compensation we received, there was also a fee called the foundation compensation fee, right?"

An Songyu nodded affirmatively.

It's not just the houses that receive compensation for their foundations.

There will be land compensation fees for orchards and mulberry-dike-fishpond systems.

This is the advantage of owning a homestead or land.

Upon hearing this, the other members of the An family also realized what was going on.

When they looked at the residential plots marked on the map, their gaze changed.

"I was thinking that we have some money on us that we don't know how to invest."

"And the area around this village is destined to develop."

"Regardless of how this village develops in the future, it's a good idea for us to buy the land now that someone is selling residential land!"

An Jianping nodded thoughtfully.

Even the other members of the An family were pondering An Songyu's words.

They all felt that An Songyu was indeed gambling on the potential future of the area being demolished.

But An Songyu knew her own situation.

If she hadn't been certain that the area would be demolished, An Songyu definitely wouldn't have taken the gamble.

After all, not to mention Shuncheng, even in the entire Nanshi district, the number of old residential areas that could be demolished is limited.

A saying that often circulates online in the future is that the city center is just like the human heart.

It won't change, it will just shift.

Old urban areas that fail to keep up with the times are mostly not being demolished or renovated.

Instead, they were gradually left behind by the newly developed urban areas.

Of course, none of this actually has anything to do with An Songyu's current idea of ​​buying a house.

Even the most dilapidated and old old town.

You can get it for 30,000 to 50,000 now, but in a few years it won't be worth 300,000 to 500,000.

There are no suitable investment channels.

Cash in hand will only become less and less valuable due to inflation.

The rest of the An family were unaware of these things.

But after careful consideration and discussion, they came to a similar conclusion!

This house is worth buying!

I was involved from beginning to end this time as well.

Bi Lizhu found this result hard to accept.

But rationally, it is clear that it is possible.

Therefore, An Songxiang actively encouraged the family to vote on this matter.

She simply chose to abstain, rather than oppose.

This result was an unexpected surprise for An Songyu.

So the four siblings couldn't help but get together again and seriously study the location of the house they were going to buy.

Before going to bed, An Songyu thought for a moment and then knocked on her parents' bedroom door.

An Jianping, who had already changed into his pajamas and was about to go to sleep, looked at his daughter outside the door with some confusion.

It seems like I've said everything I needed to say.

Why would the second daughter come looking for me at this time?

An Songyu looked at her parents, who were waiting for her to speak.

She pursed her lips before finally uttering the words she had been preparing all night:

"Dad, can you include me in the contract for the Linhe Village area too?"

This time, An Songyu genuinely just wanted to share the burden with her parents.

As for the future of Linhe Village, it's too far from her living area.

An Songyu really hadn't paid any attention to it.

Moreover, based on her experience from visiting several times, even when a city expands, it will prioritize certain directions and places.

It did not expand evenly around the entire city.

Linhe Village is indeed quite far from the city.

An Jianping also sensed An Songyu's sincerity.

He looked at his daughter and smiled, "Xiaoyu, you know how much the next demolition compensation will be."

“We haven’t asked you brothers and sisters, not because we’re trying to be tough.”

"It's just that there's really no need for it."
