Chapter Sixty-Seven: Yuan Qionghua's Accounting
I heard the familiar address coming from my fourth aunt.
An Songyu tightened her grip on the chopsticks.
Immediately afterwards, Aunt An said with a smile:
“If you and your family want to move here temporarily, we can look for other places to stay together.”
"What's wrong? You've been living there just fine, haven't you?" Bi Lizhu asked with concern, ignoring her ignorant daughter.
"The landlord wants to sell the house!" Aunt An said with some regret.
I always felt that the house seemed to have more problems than advantages.
In other words, compared to the village, she felt it was acceptable.
But now, when it comes to actually moving out, she seems a little reluctant.
“I see…then we really have no choice but to move.” Yuan Qionghua nodded understandingly.
Seeing that the conversation was about to change again, An Songyu quickly drank the noodle soup in a few gulps.
Then he quickly sat down and asked:
"Fourth Aunt, has anyone come to see the house?"
"If someone buys a house but doesn't live in it themselves... then you don't need to move!"
"After all, selling with the property already rented out saves us the trouble of finding tenants for the new house!"
"Besides, you've been renting there for a long time!"
Bi Lizhu's stiff expression relaxed slightly.
She thought her daughter had come over suddenly and said something abrupt again!
Fortunately, it seems she genuinely didn't know where her fourth uncle and aunt lived, which is why she asked that question.
"Your brother said the same thing." Aunt An's regret deepened.
"It's just that no one really wants to buy that old house."
"The landlord has been talking about it for so long, but only a few people come to check it out occasionally."
"Some people just look at the exterior and leave."
"Some did go in to take a look, but they only took a liking to the shop that had been converted from the outside."
"They really didn't like the houses and yards inside."
"So now the landlord is thinking of taking the house back first, and then spending a little money to clean it up."
"This way it might be easier to sell than leaving it like this."
“Then…” An Songyu subconsciously clenched her fist, licked her lips, and then asked:
Didn't the landlord ask you and the shop owner if you wanted to buy it?
"Logically speaking, they should have asked you first!"
"You have asked, but neither of our families has considered it," Aunt An said gently with a smile to An Songyu.
She felt a little regretful, wondering why she had only thought about staying away from harm in the past.
But they forgot that they also have family members who always care about them.
Even their niece, whom they hadn't met many times.
They were all so earnest in trying to offer them advice and solutions.
An Songyu asked with a feigned nonchalance, "So how much are they planning to sell it for?"
This question immediately drew attention, not to mention An Jianping and An Songxiang, who had already sensed something was off about An Songyu.
Even Yuan Qionghua and the others, who hadn't initially noticed anything amiss, were slightly taken aback.
"Because he renovated a shop and asked for a full 80,000 yuan!" Aunt An's voice brought everyone back to their senses.
Yuan Qionghua, in particular, thoughtfully picked up her teacup and took a small sip.
Without even wetting his lips, he held the teacup and placed it on his crossed knee.
His thoughtful gaze sometimes wandered aimlessly, and sometimes lingered on the faces of the other people in the room.
The conversation then shifted back to the topic of renting a house near Aunt An.
An Songyu hadn't spoken for half a day.
Yuan Qionghua suddenly spoke up: "Then... Yulan, what does that shop do?"
"A month? No, how much is the revenue per day? Do you have a rough idea?"
"Also, how much is the rent?"
Aunt An was slightly taken aback, completely unexpected that her sister-in-law had brought the topic back to the present.
But after thinking about it carefully for a while, she said, "The shop is just an ordinary general store, with the addition of bicycle repair and tire inflation."
"As for the specific income... we haven't really paid attention to it."
"His child used to play well with our child."
"It was mentioned casually that his business was usually not very good, with a daily income of only a few dozen yuan."
"But business is good when the children are in school."
"Business is also quite good during holidays or when the factory is closed!"
"As for the rent, let me think, it seems it used to be lower, but like our house, it has also gone up in price."
"That shop was converted from two of the outer rooms!"
"Although it's not like our courtyard, which has three rooms, a living room, a kitchen, a toilet, and a yard."
"But it's still much more than the 600 yuan we make a month now."
"I see... Then I'll calculate a price that isn't too high, 800 yuan? No, 900 yuan!"
"Adding your rent makes the calculation easier," Yuan Qionghua said with a smile, looking at Geng Yulan.
"If the combined rent for your two households is 1,500 per month, then that's nearly 20,000 per year?"
"It seems your landlord is really short of money."
"This house, which could easily be recouped through rent over a few years, was just sold off like that?"
The disbelief in Yuan Qionghua's tone was simply too strong.
Not to mention Geng Yulan herself, everyone else in the hall was also quietly calculating the costs.
The result is surprising, but once you calculate it... well, it's not that simple!
A house price of 80,000 is indeed very high.
But if you can earn nearly 20,000 a year, wouldn't you make it back in four or five years?
Four or five years seems like a long time.
But it only takes four or five years to get a house.
Moreover, they can continue to collect rent.
For a moment, Geng Yulan felt that the family who had rejected the proposal seemed incredibly foolish.
An Jianping and the other man, who had reacted earlier, were speechless.
Is this a matter of 80,000 yuan?
The problem is, before the demolition...
Which of them could be so generous as to casually come up with 80,000 yuan?
Moreover, as my fourth sister-in-law just mentioned.
If that business hadn't been converted into a shop, the house wouldn't be worth this price at all.
Otherwise, with so many people looking at it, why hasn't anyone taken it over yet?
But then I think about the income my fourth brother's family received from the demolition compensation.
And indeed, they can't move into the house they bought in Happiness Garden anytime soon.
Compared to moving to a new place and living there for another six months, buying this house is a good option.
An Jianping is a finance professional.
Whether from a financial perspective or from the perspective of people's needs.
The current situation of housing supply falling short of demand is already evident.
In the absence of other investment channels.
Putting your money in real estate isn't necessarily a bad thing.
After all, what they heard in Lin Village was not just about demolition experience.
Countless others are eyeing the hefty sums of money they'll receive after the demolition!
