Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Qian Juxiang’s plan.
Unknowingly, Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang had become the authorities in their small circle. If anyone wanted to recommend something, they would just use them as an example, and everyone's first reaction would basically be conviction, without any hesitation at all.
So everyone was talking and laughing as they strolled to the restaurant. Lin Quansheng was arm in arm with Li Liang, asking him in detail how to learn this strategy of casting a wide net. After entering the restaurant's private room, the two of them naturally sat together and continued to whisper.
They said they were whispering, but when people are emotionally agitated, it's hard to control their voices. What they thought was a low conversation was actually heard clearly by everyone in the room. Li Xiaoqing also heard Li Liang's plan, his eyes wide with shock as he asked, "What? Brother Liang, you're going to use all the compensation money to buy the shop and the old house?"
"Yeah," Li Liang said, his voice so brisk it seemed to float. "I used to think, now that I've bought two old houses, it's time to work hard and save up for a new one, so my wife and kids can experience what it's like to live in a proper residential complex, with security guards and property management services. But this time, the compensation package includes a new house, about 100 square meters, with security and property management services. It perfectly meets all my needs, so there's no need to bother anymore. Instead of putting the money in the bank, I should look for suitable small shops or old houses."
Li Liang, about to enter his professional field, took a sip of boiled water to moisten his throat before he began to talk nonstop. "You all know how many twists and turns I went through in the process of finding a house for myself and Afeng last year. This incident made me realize that old houses like this one, with a well-built layout, a superior location, and convenient living facilities, are no longer in circulation on the market. In the future, if you want a house that meets basic requirements such as livability and transportation, you can only consider major newly developed real estate projects, and the prices are many times higher than those of old houses. Since there is still a chance to find a bargain now, don't miss it. After all, the investment is small, the cost-effectiveness is high, and it is very advantageous to rent or sell. If you are lucky and it is demolished like this time, it will be a huge profit."
Li Xiaoqing admitted that these words were very provocative and even she began to waver, but she was still a little hesitant. "Maybe in another year or six months, everyone's resettlement housing will be available. Don't you have some money left for renovations?"
"We don't know exactly when the house will be delivered, so there's no need to start thinking about it too soon. Besides, we get a salary and bonus every month, so we can slowly save money while waiting for the house to be delivered." It was Amin who spoke. Her voice was as gentle as ever, but her support for her husband was obvious. "Besides, people with more money have different ways to decorate, and people with less money have different ways to decorate. Just do what you can."
Li Liang and his wife were very firm in their stance. Li Xiaoqing subconsciously wanted to ask Liu Suqin and the others what they thought, but then she remembered what Quansheng had revealed. She only found out during this demolition that all the money Sister Suqin and the others had earned in the past few years had been used to buy houses and shops. Now the couple owned the storefronts for their business and didn't have to pay rent, but the tenants paid them one or two thousand yuan in rent every month.
Li Xiaoqing still can't imagine how many houses Sister Suqin's family bought and how much money they spent. Anyway, she discussed it with her mother, and they both thought it would be safer to put the money in the bank. After all, she gave birth to a son, and he would go to school, work when he grew up, buy a house, and get married, and everything would cost money.
If she asked Sister Suqin and the others what they meant now, she would probably get the same answer as Brother Liang and his wife, maybe even an even more radical one. That wasn't what Li Xiaoqing wanted. She finally spoke hesitantly, "Brother Quansheng, when the money arrives, why don't we use half to buy a house and save the rest for Lele's future studies? A hundred thousand or so can buy a nice old house."
"Lele is still young, and I can slowly earn money for his schooling. This demolition was a pleasant surprise, and buying a house won't affect our lives." Lin Quansheng had already made up his mind. However, he and Lin Nanjiang weren't in vain. After making his position clear, he immediately changed his tone and coaxed, "If you're worried about buying too many houses and the trouble of managing them, why not just buy shops? That way, we don't have to worry about renovating them ourselves. We can just post a notice and wait for tenants to come. If you're willing, you can collect the rent from now on, and the money will be your pocket money. How about that?"
Li Xiaoqing was torn between saving more for her son's wife or choosing pocket money. Her mother, who was holding the child beside her, was afraid she would get too hung up on this, so she quickly said with a smile, "Xiaoqing, the rent in Shenzhen is high, and the rent for commercial shops is even more expensive. It's at least a few hundred yuan a month, which is more than your previous salary at the factory. Why are you still hesitating?"
"Yes, you are in charge of the household expenses, which is different from the pocket money given to you directly. The latter belongs to you completely and you can spend it however you want without having to consider other people's opinions." Qian Juxiang, Li Liang's mother and Aunt Zhang all began to agree, emphasizing Li Xiaoqing's good fortune in their words to meet such a hardworking, family-oriented and generous man.
Li's mother, who originally just didn't want to see her daughter and son-in-law have conflicts, found it more and more reasonable the more she listened. If a shop or a house is bought, her daughter will also get a share, and the rent received can be given to her as pocket money. It is equivalent to making money by lying at home. This is clearly a good thing.
They are all women, and they know very well the difference between spending their own money and spending men's money. The aunts talked to each other and successfully made Li Xiaoqing put aside her last bit of concern. She happily joined the discussion with Lin Quansheng and Li Liang. The topic had already moved on to how many shops to buy and which areas to find bargains.
As she listened, Qian Juxiang couldn't help but poke Liu Suqin and asked in a low voice, "You said that you all bought houses and shops one by one, is this thing so good? Shouldn't your brother buy one here too?"
Liu Suqin hadn't expected such a good thing to happen, and she immediately supported it with both hands and feet. "Buy it! The sooner you buy, the sooner you can enjoy it. He's still renting a house. If he has his own house, he won't have to work for the landlord anymore, right?"
These words really touched Qian Juxiang's heart.
She really envied their relocation. Not to mention her daughter's family, Lin Quansheng's family could get 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in cash at a time. This amount of money might only be their income for a few years, but for her and the old man, it was an astronomical figure that they could never earn in their entire lives. Even Liu Ping, the capable young man praised by everyone in the village, would have to work hard for most of his life to get this amount.
It was something too far away, so she could only envy it in her heart and did not dare to have too high expectations, but saving on rent was real.
Qian Juxiang used to let her youngest son rent an apartment in the urban village. As a result, the boy made a lot of money and became arrogant. He went to share a fully furnished apartment with a refrigerator and washing machine with others. The rent was two or three hundred yuan per month. He said that it was a fraction of his income. Only if he lived well and rested well would he have the energy to work hard and make money.
Liu Ping's tone was light, but Qian Juxiang couldn't help but calculate. The rent, utilities and other expenses for this kid must be three hundred yuan in total. That's three thousand six hundred a year, and thirty six thousand in ten years. If he rents for ten or twenty years, it's enough to build a house in his hometown. Isn't this definitely working for the landlord?
Of course, under the influence of Liu Suqin, Qian Juxiang has basically given up the idea of letting Liu Ping return to his hometown to build a house. He has a skill to make a living, and the best way out is to buy a house in the county, find a job in the county or open his own shop in the future.
But seeing her daughter's family struggling with their own affairs, and her daughter's business becoming bigger than her son-in-law's, Qian Juxiang changed her mind. Why did she have to let the fourth son return home? He worked under his sister, with a high salary and no worries of being bullied. What was wrong with working for his sister all his life?
Qian Juxiang had never dared to think about the possibility of letting her youngest son settle down in Shenzhen before, mainly because the income gap between Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang was too big. Although people close to her knew that she was the one in charge, most people, including Qian Juxiang herself, still felt that Lin Nanjiang was the real pillar of the family. If Liu Ping, the brother-in-law, wanted to gain a foothold in Shenzhen, he would inevitably need the help of his sister and brother-in-law. In the end, the one who really contributed money and effort would have to be Lin Nanjiang, the brother-in-law, and the world would only think that they were all relying on their son-in-law's blood-sucking body.
No matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, it cannot withstand the malicious speculations from outside, and Qian Juxiang doesn't want to cause them trouble.
Anyway, the youngest son has learned a skill and will still live better than many people when he returns to his hometown in the county, so there is no need for him to eat in such an ugly way.
But Liu Suqin's own business was booming, and she became a female boss known to everyone in her hometown. Everyone knew that she earned as much as men, so it was natural for her to help her brothers. For example, Lin Nanjiang recently wanted to spend a huge amount of money to get his brothers and brother-in-law to do passenger transport together. After they knew about it, not only did they not say anything, they didn't even feel unbalanced at all. It was his freedom to make his own money and to partner with anyone he wanted.
By the same token, it is her daughter's freedom to choose who to hire as an employee in her own business, and no one else has any say in that.
Then let the fourth child continue to work for his sister, so that the benefits remain within the family.
After all, even her cousin Liu Xiangxiang has a clear future thanks to her help and planning.
Liu Xiangxiang returned to the city with Liu Ping and Lin Quansheng at the beginning of the year. She received her certificate of completion from a training course before the Lunar New Year and immediately joined Chen Jiaming's company, where she interned for the better part of a month. After returning from the Lunar New Year holiday, she continued to work diligently and meticulously, earning her a permanent position two months early. Chen Jiaming assigned her to a female team leader under him. This team leader, one of Chen Jiaming's most valued employees, was very attentive to Liu Xiangxiang. The work atmosphere was good, the pay was decent, and it was the white-collar job she'd always dreamed of. The young woman worked incredibly hard, and after receiving her salary, she even asked Liu Suqin to accompany her shopping to choose work outfits and to ask for advice on appropriate makeup looks.
As her work stabilized, the blind date promised by Uncle Chen was also on the way. Liu Xiangxiang also attended Chen Jiaming's wedding last time, but before Liu Suqin went to the ancestral hall, she sat with her colleagues in a sociable manner. Later, when she saw her cousin was seated, she found an opportunity to sneak over and sit with her cousin.
When Uncle Chen came to greet the guests, he happened to see the two sisters and briefly mentioned introducing them to each other. Unfortunately, he gave three options, but the one that Liu Suqin and Liu Xiangxiang both liked did not come to the wedding that day due to something. Uncle Chen regretfully said that next time he would let the young man go to the city to visit her.
