Chapter 166 Buying a House

At dinner that day, Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Qiu from Wang Shan's somewhat embarrassed sitting posture.

Lin Qiu immediately understood and nodded.

The father-in-law and son-in-law had no idea what kind of lawsuit the mother and daughter were involved in, and both looked confused.

"Well, it's nothing. It's just that our Shanshan is a grown-up girl now." Lin Qiu explained.

Wang Xiuren didn't react.

Lin Ting raised the Lin Qiu sisters, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Our Shanshan is also a grown-up girl now!"

Shanshan was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw her family members smiling, she shyly said, "Yes, I've grown up!"

Because she had "grown up", Wang Shan asked her mother to let her go to bed half an hour later at night so that she could practice painting. She also wrote a serious application letter.

But Lin Qiu ruthlessly rejected it, with the reason being: adequate sleep is the key to health and study.

Wang Shan was very disappointed and hung her head, like a poor stray dog, looking both pitiful and cute.

Lin Qiu stroked her hair and asked, "Do you like painting so much?"

Wang Shan nodded, then puffed her cheeks and complained, "There's so much homework now."

Then she started to act like a spoiled brat in an attempt to soften her mother's cold heart, "So, Mom, can I go to bed a little later? It's only half an hour."

Lin Qiu shook his head firmly.

Wang Shan pouted, grumbled, and went back to her room, closing the door angrily.

"Have you brushed your teeth?" Lin Qiu asked loudly.

Wang Shan opened the door reluctantly, mumbling something, and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She deliberately ignored her mother as she walked past Lin Qiu.

Wang Xiuren smiled happily and sat on the sofa, watching the mother and daughter with interest.

After Wang Shan entered the room, he whispered, "If she wants to paint, just let her paint. It's not a big problem if she goes to bed half an hour later."

"You're still growing! You need to get enough sleep." Lin Qiu sat over.

"That's true." Wang Xiuren changed the subject, "How's the Internet cafe business these days?"

He took on a construction site worth over 200,000 yuan and brought six or seven people to work. In addition to some work given by Adago's company, if you do the math, he has made quite a bit of money this year.

There are many construction sites and many trivial things to do, so he spent most of this year on the construction sites and worried less about things in the Internet cafe and at home.

Although the Internet fee has dropped to three yuan per hour this year, the price is cheap, so more people come to the Internet cafe. The computers in the Internet cafe are almost never empty. In addition, Zhong Hua's husband also came here, and the couple is guarding the Internet cafe, so it is now open 24 hours a day.

"Including drinks and snacks, the net profit is more than 50,000 yuan per month!" Lin Qiu answered lightly.

"Isn't it this year?" Wang Xiuren couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Lin Qiu smiled and nodded, then stretched out his right hand with his palm open.

"Doesn't that mean we have earned half the value of a self-built building?" Wang Xiuren calculated quickly in his mind. "That's incredible. Didn't we save a million in the past two years?"

Lin Qiuyun replied calmly, "About the same."

Then he got up and went back to his room.

Wang Xiuren followed behind, calculating in his mind the revenue from the construction site this year. Although not as much as the income from the Internet cafe, it was still over 100,000 yuan, and the money would be deposited into the account after the construction site was accepted.

"Should we go to the urban village and see if anyone is selling a house?" he suggested.

Ever since Lin Qiu mentioned it to him, he had been thinking about it whenever he had nothing to do. He found that buying a building and renting it out was a very profitable and long-term business, so he took it very seriously.

Lin Qiu was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair with her head tilted to the side. When she heard Wang Xiuren's words, she stopped and said, "Great, there's a building for rent. I don't have to worry about the business of the Internet cafe anymore."

"Then Taoyuanju should find some time to finish the renovation, and then we can move there, and this place can be rented out when it's vacant."

"Let's see if we can buy a house first!" Lin Qiu put down the comb and lifted the air-conditioning quilt.

As a result, not only has the price of the entire self-built building increased a lot, but basically no one is putting it up for sale.

When the landlord heard they wanted to buy, he felt sorry for them and sighed, "Xiao Wang, a few months ago a family in the village wanted to immigrate to Australia, so they put all three buildings on the market, and they were sold in less than a day. Now it's basically impossible to buy them."

Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren looked at each other, and she looked at the uncle: "Uncle, please keep an eye out for us. The price is probably over a million, which we can accept."

The landlord thought it was a small matter. He would have morning tea with his old friend and exchange information on weekdays anyway. "No problem, Xiaolin. Any building that costs just over a million will do, no matter where it's located, right?"

Lin Qiu nodded, "Yes, thank you for your help, uncle."

"If it really doesn't work, we should just buy a small commercial house, right? We can rent it out anyway. I think it's not that easy for outsiders to buy self-built buildings."

Wang Xiuren spoke only after saying goodbye to the landlord.

"Let's wait and see. If there is no news by the end of the year, we will go and look at the commercial building." Lin Qiu felt that this kind of thing still depends on the opportunity. Anyway, it is not very urgent now.

A month passed and there was no information from the landlord.

The locals live on rent, so generally no one would sell these hens that lay golden eggs unless they plan to immigrate or something major happens in their family.

The harder it is to buy a self-built building, the more Wang Xiuren cares about it.

This may be why we will always be disturbed by what we cannot get!

The construction of the house in Taoyuanju could not be started either.

This month, Wang Xiuren was called by Brother Man to help. Brother Man borrowed three villas. The owners had high requirements, and he did not have so many skilled carpenters, so he had to ask for help from outside.

Wang Xiuren leaned against the head of the bed at night, stroking his chin, "Hey, tell me, why is it so difficult to buy a self-built building? If only we had asked a few months earlier? Or if we had told the uncles earlier that we had bought it."

"Hey, why do you keep thinking so much? If you can't buy it, then you can't buy it. It's just that our opportunity hasn't come yet." Lin Qiu rolled his eyes at him. "It's useless to think about it every day."

Wang Xiuren thought about it and could only sigh and shut his mouth.

It's still hard to accept!

At the end of the year, Lin Qiu was on the phone with the old lady at Debao Trading Market to discuss the wholesale of this year's Spring Festival decorations.

Before hanging up the phone, the old lady suddenly mentioned that a strange disease has appeared in Guangzhou. It is very contagious. Many people have been infected. Even doctors wearing two or three layers of masks cannot block the virus.

Lin Qiu suddenly remembered the epidemic in his previous life and was so scared that the phone dropped from his hand, attracting the attention of the old couple watching TV on the sofa and Wang Xiuren.

She hung up the phone in a hurry, looking panicked.
