Chapter 193 Thirty Ping
Could Lin Yuzhu not hear the sourness in her tone?
She didn't care about Sun Yulian's jealousy at all, so she said without changing her expression:
“This money of mine really wasn’t earned from the division of the family. The money earned was only enough for us to buy a house in the suburbs, and then there was nothing left.
Now this money is my husband's royalties. As you know, he wrote a book before and was lucky enough to be noticed by a publishing house, which paid him 20 yuan per thousand words and bought out the book. With the money, we planned to move to a new house, and we were also lucky enough to catch up with the unit's policy.
Comrade Sun, if you are envious, you can find someone who can write books."
Sister Wang laughed and joked: "Oh, Xiaolin's wife is really amazing. This book alone is equivalent to several years of our salary. By the way, I read your wife's book. It's really well written. No wonder it was picked up by the People's Publishing House."
Lin Yuzhu smiled awkwardly after hearing this, "He is just lucky."
Sister Wang disagreed with this statement, "It's not enough to just have luck without any ability. Your wife is better at writing."
Lin Yuzhu smiled and said nothing more.
Sun Yulian, on the other hand, looked a little unhappy at the moment. She knew that Lin Yuzhu's husband had published a book, but she and Lin Yuzhu got along just fine, so she didn't receive a gift from Lin.
So Sun Yulian hadn't read it either. She didn't expect the royalties would be so high. She was also praised by Sister Wang for her good writing. It was really like she was outdone again. She was so mad!
She decided that the person she had recently gone on a blind date with was not suitable. She wanted to find someone who was cultured, preferably a college student who could write books!
…
Lin Yuzhu didn't know what Sun Yulian was thinking, so she submitted her application to buy a house the next day.
After that, she inquired a little more and found that the number of applicants was indeed as small as she thought, and she felt that the probability of her being selected was very high.
Sure enough, when the results came out, there was a spot for Lin Yuzhu.
Everyone had heard about where she got the money to buy the house, so they were not surprised and congratulated her.
Others who were not selected or wanted to buy but had no money felt a little regretful and secretly decided to ask their family to save money when they returned home and to buy when this policy is available again in the future!
Because their company paid in full, the arrangement was relatively harmonious and they decided on the candidate within two days.
Then the houses were allocated.
Although there are only two types of house sizes built this time, the 30-square-meter ones are more than the 50-square-meter ones.
The main reason is that 50 square meters is expensive and not many people can afford it, so 30 square meters is more popular.
So in the end, their unit was only given two houses of 50 square meters.
Lin Yuzhu wanted a 50-square-meter house, but she knew without hesitation that it would not be her turn.
Another fifty square meters would cost 2,500 yuan. She had previously said that Zhao Yanshu's royalties were 2,000 yuan. She suddenly took out the extra money, but it was hard to say where it came from.
So we finally decided on a 30-square-meter apartment.
Of the two rooms, one of them is 50 square meters and was reserved by Chef Zhu from the kitchen, and the other one was reserved by Sister Zhang from the logistics department.
Both of them are elderly people working in the Housing Authority. They have large families and their house has long been out of size. I heard that Chef Zhu's son and daughter are both in their teens, but they still live in the same house.
When Sister Zhang’s eldest son got married he could only live in the living room, but this time he sold all his belongings to buy a big house!
As for Director Liu and Section Chief Zhu, they were just like Sister Wang and did not compete with them.
Although she could only buy an apartment of 30 square meters, Lin Yuzhu was very happy.
After all, as I said before, there is no common area in this era, and thirty square meters is really thirty square meters!
There is no kitchen or bathroom in the house, so separating out two or three rooms would be considered quite spacious.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuzhu felt even more satisfied.
