Rebirth: Striving for a Better Life

At 32 years old, Chi Chan, single since birth, lived a struggling life, exhausted every day just to survive.

At 16 years old, Chi Chan was spirited and full of confidence, ready to enter a ne...

Chapter 84 Great News! The Chi Family Bought a House!

Chi Chan hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

After all, she can learn a lot in the process of doing this job.

There's no reason not to refuse!

Therefore, the final division of labor and responsibilities among everyone were as follows:

Shu Jia: 15%, responsible for recording videos for Chinese and English.

Linda: 15%, responsible for recording math videos.

Zhuo Zhiyuan: 15%, responsible for recording chemical videos; Editor: 6%, responsible for editing videos of Zhuo Zhiyuan, Shu Jia, and Lin Da.

(Zhuo Zhiyuan expressed that he did not want to see Ji Siyuan's face, and therefore told Chi Chan that he refused to be responsible for editing Ji Siyuan's videos.) Total 21%.

Ji Siyuan: 15%, responsible for physical video recording. Operations: 9%, main person in charge. Total: 24%.

Chi Chan: 15%, responsible for recording biological videos. Editing: 4%, responsible for editing videos for both Chi Chan and Ji Siyuan. Operations: 6%. Total: 25%.

Wow—we're about to receive dividends too!

Shu Jia happily began thinking about how to spend the dividends she would receive.

After all, she had seen Chi Chan and the other two splitting money several times. Although there was always a free meal to eat each time, the feeling of eating someone else's food was different from eating your own.

At least, every time she ate a big meal at Zhuo Zhiyuan's house, she was less indignant and more assertive when she scolded him in the days that followed!

The thought of a large amount of glittering banknotes beckoning to her made Shu Jia restless. She couldn't wait to fly back and prepare for the video recording.

Seeing Shu Jia fidgeting on the stool, looking very restless, Chi Chan quickly ended the meeting after assigning everyone their tasks for the Spring Festival.

So everyone went home and found their mothers, saying goodbye until next semester!

Just like last year, Chi Chan carried large and small bags and returned to her hometown with Zhang Qiaoyu and Chi Minghe.

After squeezing off the bus, we saw Grandpa Chi from afar, pulling an empty cargo cart and standing by the roadside waiting for them.

A fellow villager who was on the same bus laughed when he saw this:

"Why hasn't Minghe bought a car even though he's made a fortune in Xingcheng? It's so inconvenient to carry all these bags and have the whole family with him."

Chi Minghe was tongue-tied, so he just gave a sheepish smile and didn't say anything.

As Zhang Qiaoyue took the luggage from the trunk of the car and handed it to Chi Chan, she responded with a smile:

“Our small business is just enough to make a living, nothing compared to Brother Mingxing!”

The business you did in Xingcheng, that's real big business!

Brother Mingxing, you've been doing such a big business in Xingcheng, how come you've never bought a luxury car and driven it back to show everyone what it's like?

Minghe and I, my husband and I, are absolutely not even thinking about buying a car right now. Buying a car is still a million miles away!

Zhang Qiaoyue's words were full of sarcasm, leaving the other party speechless.

Finally, he awkwardly greeted Grandpa Chi, picked up his luggage, and hurriedly left.

Chi Chan watched the other person's retreating figure and couldn't stop laughing.

Her mother has such a sharp tongue!

But this heat really needs to be dealt with.

You're really meddling in other people's business!

Actually, Chi Minghe and Zhang Qiaoyue had been thinking about buying a car for a while, but they ultimately held back.

First, I still owe the bank loan and need to pay it off as soon as possible.

Secondly, I want to buy a house in Changsha and settle down.

I used to think the countryside was great; it was spacious, had everything you needed, and offered a carefree lifestyle.

But when I actually arrived in Changsha, I found that I was dissatisfied with many aspects of life there: everything cost money, I lived in a suite where even turning around felt cramped, and all I could see was reinforced concrete...

However, there is one thing that Xingcheng's education quality and level are truly unmatched by my hometown.

For the sake of their children, Zhang Qiaoyue and Chi Minghe gritted their teeth and made a plan.

So he gave up the idea of ​​buying a car, and even stopped thinking about taking out a bank loan to pay it off early.

In the past few months, the net profit of each store has exceeded 10,000.

Moreover, neither Zhang Qiaoyue nor Chi Minghe expected that the bookstore they entrusted to Chi Chan to manage would be the most profitable, with a monthly net profit of around 15,000 yuan.

Even at the beginning of the school year, profits were higher.

The couple had initially wanted to stay a few days longer to close the shop and go home for the Chinese New Year because they wanted to earn as much as possible.

Before going home, the couple met with Li Duocai, the nephew of their neighbor Uncle Li, and discussed another business deal: they bought a walk-up apartment in the residential complex opposite the school.

In order to have more space and save some money, the couple decisively chose a large flat on the 6th floor with stairs, made a down payment of 20%, and had five bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms.

Grandpa and Grandma Chi are still in good health and climbing stairs is not difficult for them.

Even if they reach an age where they can no longer climb, the house is spacious enough for the two elderly people to move around in.

If we want to be even more optimistic, maybe by the time that day comes, their family will have moved to a new house!

After paying the down payment, the couple was back to square one.

They even emptied a large portion of Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi's savings for their coffins.

After parting ways with Li Duocai, the two helped each other out of the sales office.

The couple had just given away a large sum of money and were still feeling a bit weak in the knees.

"Duo Cai is such a kind kid, he even managed to get an internal discount. We'll have to thank him properly when we have some free time!"

"That's right! We'll invite him to our shop for drinks then!"

Chi Minghe nodded in agreement.

"You know what I mean! Xiao Chan is really farsighted. After I got my business license, she even asked me to register the 'Qiao Mama' trademark and company."

After I registered all of these, they asked me to pay some kind of social security and housing provident fund contributions, and insisted that we pay at the highest rate.

At the time, I thought it was troublesome and a waste of money, but now I realize how beneficial it is!

Zhang Qiaoyue sighed with relief, "Fortunately, although I found it troublesome at the time, I did everything according to Chi Chan's instructions. Otherwise, I wouldn't be enjoying this treatment now!"

“That’s right. Look at the calculation Duo Cai did for us. For the same loan term, a commercial loan costs tens of thousands of yuan more than a housing provident fund loan!” Chi Minghe nodded in agreement.

Currently, the requirements for purchasing a home in Xingcheng are not as strict as they will be in the future, and the policies are relatively lenient.

It can be said that Chi Chan's actions were a way of reaping the benefits of the times.

In short, no matter what the couple thought about it behind their backs, they have finally settled down in Changsha.

"That's right, that's right. Owning your own house means you have roots. Otherwise, what kind of logic is it to always rent from others?"

After asking Chi Minghe and his wife about their home-buying process several times, Grandpa Chi nodded repeatedly, looking very pleased.

Grandpa Chi strongly supported Chi Minghe and his wife's plan to buy a house; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out his and his wife's savings for their funerals to support the couple's purchase.

Seeing Chi Minghe pull the property certificate out of his bag, I finally felt relieved.
