Chapter 355: My Son, Of Course I Borrowed Him

Yang Jiabao, who was watching TV, came to his senses, glanced at his wife, and said with a smile: "Manman, don't worry, my parents won't be partial. We agreed before that we spent 170,000 to buy the house, and Jiadong will also spend 170,000 for him. Add to that the price increase in the past four years, 180,000 or 190,000 should be about the same!"

Xu Manman blushed when she saw that her little thought had been exposed. She sat next to her husband and whispered in defense, "Jiabao, I didn't mean that. I was just asking."

"Okay, just ask. But my parents want to buy a house for Jiabao in Pudong, Shanghai. I read in the newspaper that it seems to be only over 600 yuan per square meter, which is a big difference from Shenzhen."

"Ah, buy a house in Pudong, isn't that the suburbs? Why not buy it in the city!" Xu Manman didn't understand. Her parents-in-law were not short of money, so why did they have to buy a house in the suburbs?

"I don't know either, my parents did mention it anyway." Yang Jiabao waved his hand and said.

"More than 600 per square meter, 170,000, how big a house can I buy?"

Xu Manman asked thoughtfully, even if it is 710 square meters, it is still more than 200 square meters, which is too big.

Yang Jiabao was delighted when he heard this, "Silly Manman, why can't you buy a few more houses? Maybe your parents bought two for Jiadong, the total value is the same anyway."

"Oh, it's true. I never thought that my brain is really like this." Xu Manman slapped her forehead.

"Speaking of this, I have an idea too." Yang Jiabao turned off the TV and looked at his wife seriously.

"What's your idea? You want to buy a house? But don't we already have a house?" Xu Manman was puzzled. Besides, they only have one child now, and the house is enough for a family of three to live in. Even if there is one more child, there can still be room for him.

"I'm not talking about buying a house, I'm talking about a shop. I want to buy the shop we are renting now. I talked to the landlord some time ago and he wanted to sell it, but the price he wanted was a bit high." This is why Yang Jiabao has been hesitating.

"How many?"

"Three hundred and sixty thousand for three stores."

"Hiss, so expensive? Forget it, forget it, I won't buy it, it's the same to rent it." Xu Manman quickly waved her hand to refuse. Renting for a year is only a little over ten thousand, so it is still more cost-effective to rent.

"I also think it's expensive, but I think it would be more stable to have my own store. Look at my parents, that barbecue restaurant is their own store. Although it has been transferred to Brother Shichang, we still collect rent!" Yang Jiabao feels that renting from others is always unstable.

Xu Manman thought about it and looked up at her husband, "Do you really want to buy it?"

"Yes, I want to buy it. By the way, how much money does our family have now?" The money in the family is managed by his wife, so he really has no idea how much money there is.

"We still have about 200,000 yuan in savings at home, and most of the money is tied up in goods. You see, we just bought a batch of spring goods some time ago, and we still have some goods from last year's winter goods."

"That's not enough. The family needs to keep 70,000 or 80,000 yuan," Yang Jiabao frowned, feeling a little depressed. He had worked so hard for several years, but he couldn't even afford to buy a store.

Xu Manman glanced at her husband and asked tentatively, "Why don't we ask our parents? They should have it, and we don't want it for nothing. How about an IOU?"

When Yang Jiabao heard this, he immediately sat up from the sofa, "Okay, why not? I'm their biological son, they will definitely lend it to me. Let's wait until they come back from Hai City and talk about it."

"Oh, it would have been nice if I had bought more stocks back then, tut tut."

Xu Manman also felt a little regretful. You see, they finally won a stock, but they were two big idiots and sold it in a hurry without making much profit. Later, when they saw the stock going up, they regretted it so much.

"Hey, let's not talk about that. It's not our property."

It was half a month later when Jiang Xinbai and his companions returned to Shenzhen. After Yang Jiabao took his parents back home, he sat down.

"Mom and Dad, is Haishi fun?"

Jiang Xinbai glanced at him and said, "It's okay! But we're not going there to have fun, we're going to buy a house. I just wanted to tell you that I bought two houses and a small commodity for your brother in Pudong, spending a total of more than 180,000 yuan. Here, this is the invoice. I brought it back especially for you to see."

Yang Jiabao was unhappy when he heard this, "Mom, what do you mean by that? Am I jealous of Jiadong? Am I such a person in your heart?"

"Jiabao, your mother didn't mean that, but this has to be made clear. After all, Jiadong has three houses and you only have one."

Yang Jinsheng quickly explained that he knew his eldest son had no idea now, but what about the future? What if he had any other ideas in the future?

"Dad, the total value is there! How can I not understand that? But it's still a bit too far for you to buy a house in Pudong for Jiadong."

"Why are you so partial? Everything will be fine in the future. By the way, do you have something to talk to us about?" Jiang Xinbai couldn't help asking when he saw that his eldest son looked worried.

Yang Jiabao chuckled twice, "Mom, you figured it out! I really have something to do. I want to buy the store I'm renting now, but I'm short of money. Can you lend it to me? I'll write you an IOU."

"Hmm? Buy a store? How much do you need?" Jiang Xinbai thought that it would be better to buy it so that they wouldn't have to raise the rent every year.

"The landlord asked for 360,000 yuan. There are three rooms in total, more than 300 square meters, less than 400 yuan. I still have about 200,000 yuan in savings at home." Yang Jiabao paused here, and then continued: "I have to keep 60,000 to 70,000 yuan for buying goods, so..."

Jiang Xinbai glanced at his son, thought for a moment and asked, "Can the price be negotiated?"

Yang Jiabao shook his head. "No, I'll go and negotiate for the lowest price. He's going to sell these three stores anyway."

"Okay then, we'll lend you three hundred thousand. Forget about the IOU. As your son, I still trust you." Jiang Xinbai said with a smile.

"Hehe, really? Thank you, Mom." Yang Jiabao stood up excitedly and hugged Jiang Xinbai tightly.

"Hmph, you're just thanking your mother. What? I don't get a share of this money?" Yang Jinsheng on the side was a little jealous.

Yang Jiabao chuckled and hugged his old father again, "Dad, thank you too! I'll give you a hug."

"Go away, that's so corny."

Jiang Xinbai looked at the father and son with a smile, and suddenly thought of something, "Jiabao, I have something else to ask you. Your father and I have looked at a few more shops in Hai City, and we think they are good for investment, so we want to buy one for each of you brothers, but we only pay the down payment, and you have to repay the loan yourself, is that okay with you?"
