Chapter 061 Buying Another House

As for the plan of renting a house and then moving in to grab a spot, it simply won't work.

Because this area will be taken over by the government in the future, and when the flood submerges half of Wucheng, there will be countless homeless people who need to be accommodated.

Aside from the owners' ownership of their homes, everything else was governed by the government. After six months of riots, no one disobeyed. Those who disobeyed were deprived of food and even arrested for forced labor.

This includes rearranging rental housing. Those with connections will be added to the group, while those without will be forced to live in designated parking spaces in the basement. Those who haven't paid off their mortgage payments in full will also have to hand over some food each month! This is because the loans are from the bank, which is owned by the state.

As for how the government knows whether you have bought a house, whether you bought it with a loan or paid in full... Since the advent of big data in 2018, all your information can be known by swiping your ID card, including the date and time of December 2022 when you received relief food.

"On file" means: your crimes or good deeds are recorded on your ID card. After the apocalypse, you'll need to scan your face and ID card to receive relief food, and those who have committed crimes will be directly blacklisted.

Therefore, there will be no idle people in the last days. If you want to survive, you must create value.

Her thoughts were drawn away, and when Jingshu came to her senses, she had received several more messages.

Selling Building 25: "Sister, I spent 250,000 to buy this house, and then spent another 100,000 on renovations, furniture, and appliances. These are all brand new and free. I originally wanted to stay here for the weekend, but now I'm selling it at a loss!"

Wang Cuihua sent a voice message: "Then ask other people and see who has no house to live in. Anyone who buys a house or a car now is a fool."

Building No. 25 for sale: "..." Sister, if you don't want to buy it, please don't destroy it.

Jingshu added this person as a friend and sent a message: "I want this house for 130,000 yuan, and I can pay you now. I buy houses just to store them. I'll wait for the prices to rise in a few years. If they get too expensive, I won't sell them. After all, there's the risk of a house collapse at any time."

The man thought about it for more than ten minutes. He had been lowering the price everywhere to sell his house in the past few days. When the other party heard that the location was outside Wucheng, he would not buy it no matter how cheap the price was. Now the car was not used, so buying it at a low price must have some potential to get a bargain!

"It's better to sell it than to keep it. This person who lives in a villa must really be buying a house just to stock up. I can buy a lot of food with this money. I can't buy cabbage for even a hundred yuan." The man selling Building 25 finally agreed: "Then let's go to handle the paperwork at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning."

The next day, Jingshu and Jing's father sent Jing's mother to work together for the first time, and brought lunch for Jing's mother: sweet and sour radish, stir-fried meat with black fungus, kimchi mixed with rice, two braised eggs, and a bowl of refrigerated milk.

I didn't dare bring anything fancy or fresh, as vegetables are so rare these days. Jing's mom always has to hide her food, and she's been eating a lot lately, so bringing less isn't enough...

Recent policy changes have forced low-level employees like them to work overtime every day, just like in their previous lives. But Jingshu knows that her mother's opportunity is about to come, and she must seize it in this life!

Then I took their ID cards when I delivered vegetables to the old couple, and then went to the Real Estate Bureau where we had an appointment yesterday to complete the house purchase procedures with Jing's father and the person selling the house. One was actively selling and the other was actively buying, and the transfer of ownership was completed very smoothly.

After getting the key, I went to Building 25, a hundred meters across from my villa, with Jing's father. Jing's father was confused. "So why did you buy another house for your grandparents? The house here is so remote. I was planning to buy a house in the city in a few years when my financial situation improved."

"It's too deserted here, with inconvenient transportation and shopping. Going out feels like going from the countryside to the city." Jing's father has been deeply touched these days when he queued up at the supermarket and sent Jing's mother to work.

Jingshu took her father on a tour and was very satisfied. It had three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. It was fully furnished, including a bed, except for the lack of air conditioning. The only missing items were bedding and other daily necessities. It was move-in ready.

"The decoration is very ordinary, and cheap materials are used." said Jing's father.

"Don't we owe grandma and grandpa 200,000? They definitely won't want it. Why not buy them a house? And write the name of grandma and grandpa. In the future, whether it is the third aunt or the eldest aunt or the second aunt, they will feel uncomfortable living in the house of grandma and grandpa.

It feels like home. We have to live here for a few more years at least, right?

Then Jingshu told her father about her idea and even said, "From now on, you and Grandpa can live together when you're not arguing. If you do, they can move back home for a few days, right? If they want to live in the countryside, they can live in the countryside. If they want to stay longer, they can stay here. It's their own house."

Jing's father's eyes gradually brightened. He had always wanted to live with the old couple, but living together made Jing's grandfather so angry that he often had a heart attack. Now this problem seemed to have been solved.

In the next few days, Jing's father and Jing Shu were busy tidying up the house to prepare a surprise for the old couple.

Since there was no place to put the U solar energy on the first floor, the air conditioner was not installed. However, I contacted the manager from last time to help install 6 water purifiers of various types. Because of the water outage, the prices of these things were reduced again and basically no one bought them, so they were installed very quickly.

Then put in the purchased bedding, daily necessities, and some clothes of the old couple.

Jingshu has to deal with all these miscellaneous things during the day. She also has to store more cooked food while cooking, and inspect the poultry in the space at night. The quails have multiplied to more than 600 and she is waiting to find time to roast them and put them in the space. Three batches of soybeans have also been cooked and they can make tofu together when Jingnai and the others come.

In February, all major schools decided to continue with the holidays, and the start date of the school will be announced later. Senior high school students will also have a holiday because the schools have also been deprived of their special power supply treatment.

The power supply time in Wucheng has been shortened again, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with only 3.5 hours of power supply per day, which has caused a lot of trouble to the lives of many citizens.

For example, you have to buy an extra power bank to prevent your phone from running out of power, you have to boil water in advance, and the refrigerator is only turned on for three and a half hours a day. The food inside will melt and spoil, so you have to clean up the frozen food quickly.

Some people who grow vegetables at home by simulating sunlight may lose all their efforts and fail to grow any vegetables.

If we say that the troubles in life can always be overcome, it is difficult to overcome the body. In the past, we had air conditioning for 6 hours, but now we can hardly turn on the air conditioner all day, which has caused a large number of people to suffer from heatstroke. What's more, the hospital is overloaded every day, and the medicines have been discontinued for a long time and are now directly out of supply.

Even if everyone is limited in their purchases, the medicines in major pharmacies are basically sold out. At the same time, the government has announced a suspension of medical insurance card payments. All pharmacies will be closed and all medicines will be confiscated by the government!

Just like in the previous life, the medical insurance card could not be used for a short time, and the government began to forcibly collect all supplies. At this time, some food factories were hoarding supplies.
