90s Left-Behind Mother Decides to Change

At sixteen, Liu Suqin graduated from junior high and went south with her cousin to work. Like most factory girls, she met a young male colleague she liked, quickly fell in love, got married, and th...

Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Li Liang's earnest advice. ...

Liu Suqin wasn't confused by the complexities of the relationship. She immediately grasped the key point and rushed over, tightly grasping Li Liang's hands. Her face was beaming, and she was almost bowing deeply. "Please, Brother Li, please help us get this land!"

Just like what Brother Li said, the local clans were very xenophobic. Even if there were no explicit regulations, land, a high-quality asset that could provide three generations of descendants with food and clothing, was generally digested within the family. At the very least, it would be among people from the same village or hometown. At that time, Shenzhen was not short of rich people, so it was impossible for her, an outsider with no relatives, to take advantage of such a big bargain.

In other words, Aunt Zhang and her family have made up their minds to go abroad, and they will probably never want to return to their homeland in this lifetime. They will not need to deal with them in the future, and naturally they don't care about their reputation among relatives and friends. They only put the interests of their own family first.

But Aunt Zhang also had her reasons, or perhaps she was forced into a corner. Her family was an exception, and for Liu Suqin, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you don't seize the opportunity, there will definitely not be a next time.

She was so excited at the moment that even her hands, which were holding Li Liang tightly, began to tremble slightly.

Li Liang had assumed she'd gotten good news, and was joking with her out of joy. But seeing her expression, he dropped his playful smile and twitched. "Uh... I guess you've always liked buying houses and land, so you'd definitely be interested in this, which is why you're here to tell me right away. But you don't have to be so excited, Mr. Liu. Not to mention your thriving shops, even that beauty salon alone is bringing in a fortune, with a daily turnover so huge it's impossible to count. With such a cash cow, is there really any need to be so concerned about a piece of land in an urban village?"

"It's necessary." Liu Suqin said seriously, "I know what you mean. Even if I buy this piece of land, it will only be icing on the cake for my family, but it won't make me rich. In other words, missing it won't be a big loss. However, being a landlady has always been my dream. Now I have this opportunity to make it come true, and I can't miss it no matter what."

Li Liang was clearly unmoved by her dream. "Although you've entrusted us with the keys to your property, and we don't have to worry about renting, collecting rent, or returning the property, that doesn't mean you can just ignore them, right, landlady?"

Liu Suqin waved her hand. "That's different. How can a few, no, more than a dozen apartments compare to the joy of owning an entire building?"

Li Liang: ...

Listen, is what you say human?

"Forget it. I don't understand your rich people's hobbies, but I can do my best to satisfy the big boss's needs." Li Liang finally compromised and got back to the point. "You probably already know the landlord's situation. Now let's talk about their demands. Aunt Zhang's family is essentially after money. If they transfer the property to a family member, they will definitely use emotional appeals to lower the price. Now they are selling it directly to others, so they don't have those scruples. If they ask for a high price, they are afraid that too many outsiders will leak the news and cause complications. They want the house, shop, and land as a package. The price is one million, payable in full and immediately. No delayed fundraising will be accepted."

Liu Suqin wasn't completely overwhelmed by this surprise, and immediately said, "Tell me about the location and area of ​​that piece of land, as well as the specific details of his family's other properties."

Seeing her asking the question calmly, Li Liang couldn't help but smile with relief.

The two families met in humble beginnings. Initially, they had business contacts and both felt that the other was worth making friends with, so the relationship has been maintained. It is indeed not a pure friendship, but the two families have supported each other and made progress together over the years, which is also a real relationship.

Li Liang always remembered that in the first few years after his wife married him, she took care of him and their son wholeheartedly and was almost out of touch with society. He only encouraged her to go out, but actually did nothing. It was Liu Suqin and Ahui who tirelessly persuaded and encouraged Amin. Liu Suqin even inspired her with her actions, which gave Amin the courage to re-enter society and find a stable job with a good salary.

At that time, Li Liang was just happy to see his wife happy. He didn't expect that this small step she took would have such profound significance for their family.

Especially in the past two or three years, their family's life has been like a rocket. A demolition made him a well-known rich man and nouveau riche. This year he was promoted and given a raise, and became the store manager. He is one of the young and promising people in the entire industry, so there are constant temptations around him, especially those girls around him who want to hook up with him openly or secretly, which really opened Li Liang's eyes.

To be honest, Shenzhen has no shortage of rich men, and even less of beautiful young girls, some plump and some slim, all very charming. Li Liang is just an ordinary man. When he meets a stunning beauty on the street, he can't help but take a few more glances. Naturally, he is moved when such a beauty takes the initiative towards him.

But when he calmed down a little and thought about his wife and son, this little ripple completely disappeared.

The girls outside are indeed charming, but his Amin is not bad either.

He had left his hometown in Northeast China to work in Shenzhen. The first time he saw this petite girl with the gentle temperament unique to southern women, he was deeply fascinated by her.

At that time, Amin was only seventeen or eighteen years old, so tender that you could pinch water out of her. She had the opportunity to choose a better life, but she resolutely followed him, a poor boy with nothing, to endure hardships and start from scratch. This kind of kindness alone could not compare to the flattery of those so-called beauties outside.

His wife Amin never cared about material conditions. She followed him wholeheartedly when they had no money. Now that the family has money, she never spends money lavishly, nor does she lie at home and be supported by him. Instead, she still concentrates on running her own business.

Influenced by her family, Amin used to put her husband first. Later, she was pulled out by two good friends and experienced the joy of pursuing a career. She cherishes her current job very much. In addition, Liu Suqin is a role model who has been moving forward. Amin is also very encouraged and has been trying to emulate her. Recently, she has been planning to open a store with Ahui and become her own boss.

In fact, they had the idea of ​​starting a business a long time ago, but Hui got married and became pregnant, which delayed it for two years.

Ahui's child was recently successfully weaned, and her parents-in-law officially retired to take care of their grandson. She immediately became popular like a released prisoner, and immediately found Amin to restart her business plan.

Compared with Ahui and Liu Suqin, Amin's career ambition is indeed not that strong. Since Ahui delayed her work due to giving birth, she just went to work with peace of mind and waited for the day when her friend would return to her career.

But this does not affect her from becoming an independent and confident urban beauty.

Compared to the youthfulness and tenderness when they were in love, Li Liang actually admires and is obsessed with his current wife more. In his eyes, she is the most charming one. No matter how young and beautiful the girls outside are, they cannot catch his eye, let alone anything happening between them.

But sometimes he would reflect on himself: if his wife had not gone out to work, and was still the housewife who only revolved around her husband, children and the stove, without the current fashion confidence, and even without taking care of her appearance all day long, would he still be so steadfast in rejecting those temptations?

Maybe at first he could refuse out of family responsibility and love, but once he wavers in his heart, he will always hesitate and struggle until he finally explodes and gives up.

If it comes to that, he doesn't know what will become of their warm and happy little home.

So from a certain perspective, Liu Suqin and Ahui's original actions can be regarded as immeasurable merits, as they saved a happy family.

Li Liang didn't say it, but he kept this gratitude deep in his heart.

As for Ahui, when she got married and bought a house, he and Amin lent out all their family savings to help with the emergency, which was considered a way of repaying them. But as for Liu Suqin, he could never find an opportunity.

Not only did he fail to repay her, he even kept accepting her help. Over the years, Liu Suqin brought her relatives and friends to frantically help him with sales, and he became numb to the benefits she took.

Li Liang really likes Liu Suqin's attitude of treating work as work and not mixing it with personal relationships. He never hesitates to take the commission, but at the same time, in the process of serving them, he is more attentive than treating ordinary customers. It is no exaggeration to say that he does his best.

Just like now, Li Liang was completely standing on Liu Suqin's side. He was not thinking about actively promoting and trying to make this deal happen. Instead, he was afraid that she would get carried away and act recklessly. Seeing that she still cared about the details of the land and measured its value, he felt relieved.

Of course, before coming to her, Li Liang had already conducted an on-site inspection and offered his conclusion. "The price is indeed a bit high, but it's still a good deal in the long run. After all, the land is in a good location and covers an area of ​​130 square meters. Most studios in urban villages are around 20 square meters, so each floor can be divided into at least six studios. Most people build eight-story buildings, with nearly 50 rooms per floor. Based on the average rent there, the annual rent for this building starts at 100,000 yuan. Moreover, rents rise year by year along with housing prices..."

Liu Suqin nodded vigorously, "Yes, this is the life I want as a landlady."

"But you can't just look at the bright side." Li Liang sighed, "Their only valuable piece of land is this one. The resettlement housing they live in now isn't very good, and they have three small shops that are also small and remote. They are only rented out as warehouses. They are completely worthless, but they are selling them at market price. You will have to spend an extra hundred thousand yuan in vain."

"Even if that's not a big deal, the land only creates value if you immediately build houses and rent them out. A building like this, with steel, concrete, and workers, would cost tens or even hundreds of millions, adding up to a whopping two million. With that kind of calculation, do you still think it's worth it?"
