Chapter Ten Mortgages
The two families have been discussing the marriage for quite some time.
Even the wedding date has been set.
Let alone this young couple, even if both families were sitting together, the matter of buying a house couldn't be changed with just a few words.
After thinking about it, An Songlin had no choice but to agree with his father.
But if we don't touch the money they used to buy their wedding house.
Forget about their savings, they might not even be able to keep their homestead in the village!
"However, your idea is indeed good, but we need to plan more carefully... and then discuss it with our in-laws."
“But,” An Jianping said, then paused for a moment.
He looked at his son carefully before saying:
“Songlin, if we really discuss it with the Xuan family, your wedding date for May Day may have to be postponed.”
Before An Jianping could finish speaking, and before An Songlin could react, Bi Lizhu suddenly stood up:
"No! Absolutely not!"
An Jianping frowned slightly and, quite helplessly, quickly tugged at his wife.
He gestured for her not to get so agitated.
It's so late at night, after all.
She started yelling all of this at once.
I bet by tomorrow morning, people will be spreading rumors that the couple had a fight tonight.
Bi Lizhu pursed her lips tightly, reluctantly sitting down as her husband pushed her.
But before anyone else could speak, she lowered her voice and emphasized again:
"Jianping, Songlin's wedding date absolutely cannot be postponed."
"Although they haven't sent out wedding invitations yet, as you know, almost everyone who's close to them knows about their wedding date."
"If the wedding is suddenly postponed without any reason... not to mention our own family, even the in-laws' side wouldn't agree so easily."
"After all, the Xuan family is probably in a similar situation to us. Those who are even slightly close to them should know the most about it."
"Lizhu, I only said it's possible, not that that's how it is!" An Jianping quickly reassured her again.
Bi Lizhu wasn't stupid; she stood up again, somewhat agitated.
He spun around twice before finally frowning deeply.
"Once the issue of not buying a house is brought up, whether the wedding date is postponed or not, is it really up to our family to decide?"
“Jianping, don’t you know that no matter how understanding your in-laws are?”
"They probably wouldn't be willing to compromise on something like this."
An Jianping found it difficult to refute his wife's words.
So in the past few days, besides trying to find out more information, he has also been particularly troubled.
An Songlin waited patiently until his parents finished speaking, then quickly interjected:
“Dad, Mom, what I mean is... we can actually discuss not buying a house for the time being.”
“Nowadays, the houses we look at are either in a bad location, too far from the school, or not convenient to get to.”
"Even in the entire Rongdi area, the only apartment building with elevators currently for sale is Hongye Haoting."
"So we chose Hongye Haoting not because it was particularly suitable for us, but because it was the most suitable option we could choose compared to other communities."
Bi Lizhu calmed down and carefully considered the feasibility of her son's suggestion.
But deep down, I still don't really agree.
An Songxiang secretly winked at her sister, signaling her to look at their mother's expression.
An Songyu was also somewhat helpless.
But she gently shook her head at her younger sister, signaling her not to speak.
An Songxiang pursed her lips, but didn't actually say anything.
After all, no matter how much her parents relied on their son, they never exploited her, their daughter.
Therefore, right now, the most flexible money in Anjia's hands is...
It's likely that An Songxiang, who has only been working for two years, has never had her parents pay her a single penny of her salary.
This is something she knew all along, even though it involved her own friends and classmates.
They almost never prepare a separate new house when they get married.
He never raised the slightest objection to his parents' decision to empty their savings to buy a new house for his brother's wedding.
However, the situation is somewhat different now!
“Actually, it’s not a problem for you to buy a house now!” An Songyu couldn’t help but mention, looking at the family who seemed particularly troubled.
With mixed feelings, everyone couldn't help but look over.
Especially Bi Lizhu.
She felt that her second son was acting strangely today.
Every time he speaks, it deeply impacts his family.
"Well... I think I heard someone at the hotel mention that besides paying in full, you can also get a loan to buy a house, right?"
Mortgage loan?
This overly trendy term elicited different reactions from the members of the An family as soon as it reached their ears.
An Songlin, who had been quite conflicted, suddenly felt as if the clouds had parted and the fog had cleared.
He looked excitedly at his family, "Yes, yes, it seems that the mortgage system was implemented a couple of years ago."
"Dad, do you remember how many people in our workplace were discussing this issue when it was reported in the newspaper?"
"However, back then everyone was basically calling him an idiot."
"After all, the old welfare housing allocation system is still in effect!"
Upon hearing An Songlin's mention, An Jianping and his wife realized what was going on.
They said they seemed to have some recollection of the mortgage issue.
But I never knew where I heard it from.
Thinking about it, everyone's eyes turned to An Songyu.
An Songyu shrugged, looking rather helpless, and said:
"I have indeed heard about mortgages, but I don't know the details."
If this happens in the future, not to mention An Songyu, anyone could easily join in the conversation.
But it's still 1999, so how exactly were mortgage loans implemented...?
An Songyu just brought it up.
She then realized that she didn't know when the mortgage policy had been implemented!
Fortunately, someone in their family had actually heard about this.
“This is easy to find out. It’s too late today, I’ll go ask someone tomorrow,” An Jianping decided.
Even in his heart, his daughter's suggestion gave him more ideas.
The next day, the An family continued their busy work.
This time, however, their family's goal was very clear.
When the family gathered together again that evening, not only An Jianping, but almost everyone in the family had found out about the mortgage.
An Jianping even found out more.
He didn't say much when the family was together.
It wasn't until the next morning, when An Songlin mentioned taking his fiancée to Jiangcun, that An Jianping secretly contacted his two daughters:
"Ayu, Xiang, I'm planning to move your household registrations back to the village!"
