Chapter 5 Zero Down Payment New Home

The 1980s and 90s were the best time to make money, but also the most chaotic time for the economic market.

Putting aside street vendors, many people open shops whenever they feel like it.

Business license? Fire safety certificate? Tax registration?

What is that?

Many people have no idea, but not everyone is unaware of it.

When Fan Junshan went to visit his wife's family on the third day of the Lunar New Year, he got drunk and boasted to the Yang family—a large family of thirty or forty people—about how much money he had saved by not having a business license or paying taxes.

It's clear that he knows all the proper procedures for opening a store, but he just doesn't take them seriously.

Judging from Jiang Jiani's behavior yesterday and today, he didn't believe at all that she meant well, as she claimed.

Jiang Jianni was definitely warning him!

He unexpectedly thought of a restaurant owner.

That person offended someone, and then the tax bureau, fire department, public security bureau, and industry and commerce bureau took turns coming to inspect them.

The thought that he might also be subjected to repeated inspections, and then be forced to close down his business, made Fan Junshan feel dizzy.

The Li couple, quick to adapt to the situation, immediately said:

"We're just passing through, that's all."

"Yes, Junshan invited us to come over, sit down, and have a drink of water."

"Yes, that's right, that's exactly it."

"Since your family is hosting your new son-in-law, then we won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, one of them grabbed something and the other pulled their son away, and they disappeared in a flash.

Fan Junshan was dumbfounded.

Before he could figure out what to do, Jiang Jianni tugged at Lu Xiangyang again and asked, "Xiangyang, do you know anyone in the industry and commerce or tax departments? If you do, could you ask someone to help my second aunt's husband take a look?"

"He's a complete brute, and there's no college graduate in his family. He doesn't know anything."

"You should find an expert to help him."

She looked at Fan Junshan with a smile: "Don't you think so, Uncle-in-law?"

vicious.

Fan Junshan had never seen such a vicious woman.

Before Lu Xiangyang could speak, he forced a smile and quickly declined, "No need, no need."

Yang Yuemei had just poured water for them when she heard his words and asked, "What do you mean you don't need it?"

Then, in surprise, she exclaimed, "Hey, where are those three people? Why did they leave?"

Fan Junshan quickly replied, "We just happened to be passing by and wanted to take a look."

"Yes, I just stopped by to take a look."

"Big sister, I have to go now."

"You should entertain your new son-in-law at home."

"Let me know when we get married, and Yuezhi and I will come over then."

After saying that, he hurriedly left as if a dog was chasing him.

As soon as he left, Jiang Yanni couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Second sister, did you see how Second Uncle looked? He was like his butt was on fire."

The others laughed along with them.

Only Yang Yuemei looked confused, not knowing what they were laughing at.

After laughing, Lu Xiangyang asked, "Is this your second aunt's husband?"

Jiang Jianni: "Of course!"

Lu Xiangyang found it even stranger: "Since he's your uncle, why would he introduce you to someone who looks so abnormal?"

Yang Yuemei sighed.

Jiang Jianni said, "We all think it's abnormal, but they think it's normal."

At this point, she laughed: "So I told him to keep it and tell it to his own daughter in the future."

Lu Xiangyang: "..."

So his new wife wasn't as gentle and easy to bully as she seemed?

He couldn't quite put his finger on how he felt.

Jiang Jiani will continue attending classes in the afternoon.

After a lively lunch, Lu Xiangyang took Jiang Jiani to school.

As Jiang Jiani passed by the mall, she suddenly noticed that several large red banners with white lettering had appeared on the mall's exterior wall.

At first she didn't notice, but when she saw what was written on it, she quickly turned around.

At the same time, he jumped out of the car without caring that there were other people around him.

Lu Xiangyang was startled and quickly got out of the car: "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly jump out of the car without saying a word?"

Jiang Jianni pointed to a huge banner advertisement hanging down from the building in front of her and asked without turning her head:

"No, look at that. What is it? I think my eyes are playing tricks on me. I can't see what's written on it."

Lu Xiangyang looked at the huge advertisement with a puzzled expression: "It says 'Buy a new house with zero down payment, only thirty yuan per month.' What's wrong with that?"

Jiang Jianni was greatly surprised: "Zero down payment? I really didn't see it wrong? It really is zero down payment? I can buy a new house by paying only thirty yuan a month?"

If we go back to the 1990s, the biggest inconvenience was the accommodation problem.

The Jiang family's house is already quite spacious, with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom, with a net area of ​​over 60 to 70 square meters.

The Jiang family slept in the master bedroom, the two girls had one room, and the two boys had one room, which was just right.

But for Jiang Jiani, who had always lived alone in her previous life, it was extremely painful.

The biggest problem with two people sharing a room is that there is absolutely no privacy.

She does want to buy a house.

However, the original owner had handed over his salary to Yang Yuemei, and at most kept two yuan as pocket money.

Even buying clothes, shoes, and getting a haircut required asking Yang Yuemei for money.

Since she hadn't received her salary, she didn't have the nerve to ask Yang Yuemei for her previous wages, after all, those belonged to the original owner of the body, not her.

This resulted in her not having enough money for a down payment when she wanted to buy a house.

Also, she didn't know if she could buy a house with a mortgage at this time, since the sale and purchase of commercial housing had only been liberalized for a few years.

She works during the week, and on weekends she not only has to prepare lessons, but also has to go on blind dates or tutor her two younger siblings.

There was simply no time to wander the streets looking for a house or asking for information.

Who would have thought that after all this trouble, she would actually see someone selling a house on the street with zero down payment.

For a moment, Jiang Jianni felt as if she were in a dream, almost thinking that she was hallucinating because she was so desperate for a house.

She pinched it hard.

Lu Xiangyang hissed in pain, "What are you doing?"

The pain almost made him instinctively elbow Jiang Jiani, but thankfully he remembered in time that she was his new wife.

Jiang Jianni asked, "Does it hurt?"

Lu Xiangyang was speechless: "What do you think? Why don't you do it to yourself?"

No wonder my comrades always say that women are unreasonable.

They're not just unreasonable, they also lose their temper without warning.

But look at Jiang Jiani's face, and think about how shrewdly she confronted her second aunt's husband.

Lu Xiangyang's expression changed.

not good.

Why does he think she looks better?

Jiang Jianni murmured, "It really hurts, but it's good that it hurts, it's good that it hurts."

She suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Xiangyang with burning eyes, excitedly saying, "Lu Xiangyang, let's buy a house."

Lu Xiangyang's eyes widened in surprise.

He looked at the banner, then at Jiang Jiani.

The question carries a somewhat complicated connotation: "Why buy a house?"

"You don't really think they'd give you the house for free, do you?"

"That's all a lie."

"If you buy this house, you'll have to pay back money every month."

"It would take twenty or thirty years to return."

"Who's stupid enough to bear the burden of two or three decades of famine?"

"Don't be silly, it's all a lie, it's all fake."

"We just need to wait for our work units to allocate housing."

Jiang Jianni: "..."
