Chapter 184 Wu's Mother Asks for a House (Page 1/2)
Unlike her daughter, Chen Baomei will not invest in the company of Shen Rui and his wife.
Although she understood Guo Xiaoxiao's character, people change, and it is better to keep a clear distinction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Even brothers and sisters will turn against each other because of their own interests, just like her and Chen Baolan, not to mention the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
She didn't want to have conflicts with her daughter-in-law Guo Xiaoxiao in the future, so she shouldn't get involved in anything financially.
This money was just a loan to them to help them, and she didn't ask them for interest.
Shen Rui: "We still need to write an IOU, Mom, don't you trust us?"
I've never heard of anyone having to write an IOU when borrowing money from their parents. Anything can happen here.
Guo Xiaoxiao glared at Shen Rui fiercely, "Borrowing money and writing an IOU is only natural, don't talk nonsense."
Then she quickly said to Chen Baomei, "Mom, I'll write the IOU now."
Originally, she prepared two contracts, one for investment and one for loan.
Now that my mother-in-law wants me to write an IOU, I'll do as she says.
Writing an IOU is easier.
Seeing that Guo Xiaoxiao was about to write down the interest as well, Chen Baomei stopped her.
"I don't want the interest, just consider it as my little support for you."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "That's so embarrassing..."
Two million, the annual interest alone is not a small amount.
Although she wanted to save some money, Guo Xiaoxiao did not intend to let her mother-in-law suffer any loss.
"That's it. If you want to pay interest, then don't borrow from me."
Shen Rui: "Borrow it, borrow it, why not? Thank you, Mom, we will borrow it!"
Shen Rui urged Guo Xiaoxiao to write quickly.
Guo Xiaoxiao had no choice but to write an IOU as Chen Baomei requested, which stated that the debt must be repaid within three years at the latest. Both Shen Rui and his wife signed it, as did Chen Baomei.
In duplicate, each party keeps one copy.
After signing, Chen Baomei transferred the money into Guo Xiaoxiao's account on the spot.
If you have less money, you should buy one less house.
In the first half of the year, Chen Baomei bought four more houses.
All in all, Chen Baomei has bought seven houses plus a large yard in the old city.
Chen Baomei had almost spent all her savings, so she gave up the idea of making a living.
As the seasons change, the happy and comfortable days always pass by especially quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of Niu Niu's high school entrance examination.
Niu Niu's high school choice is No. 1 Middle School, her sister Qiqi's alma mater.
Her grades are among the best, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely be able to get into No. 1 Middle School. Chen Baomei is not worried, but rather a little nervous.
Chen Baomei could only advise her to relax a little. Even if she failed to get into No. 1 Middle School, she didn't have to worry. She could fill in several junior high school applications. With her grades, she wouldn't have to worry about not being accepted by any school.
After sending Niu Niu to the examination hall, Chen Baomei drove around the old town.
More than two years have passed, and there is still no news of demolition.
Chen Baomei was almost going crazy waiting.
It hadn't been taken down for so long that she began to wonder if there was something wrong with her memory.
Fortunately, the housing prices here have increased a little. Although they are not as high as other places, Chen Baomei has not lost money.
Chen Baomei was lost in thought when her cell phone rang.
It was a local, unfamiliar number.
Chen Baomei answered the call and it turned out to be Wu's mother.
Chen Baomei was quite surprised. She hadn't been in contact with Wu's mother for a long time, so why was she calling her?
"What's up?"
Mother Wu was very polite. "Grandma Huihui, this is what I want to ask you: have you resold the house I sold you before?"
house?
Chen Baomei raised her eyebrows. "Whether it's sold or not has anything to do with you?"
Mother Wu did not seem angry at all and continued to speak to Chen Baomei calmly.
"No, if it's not sold, I want to buy it back. Wenwan's father and I lived in that house for seven or eight years. Now her father is about to retire and wants to move back to the old house for a while."
"When we sold the house, we didn't think it through and just sold it without thinking. Just transfer the house to me. I won't let you suffer any loss. I'll calculate it based on the current market price."
Chen Baomei raised her eyebrows and her heart began to beat faster.
The fact that Wu's mother came to ask for the house at this time does not mean that they learned about the demolition of the house through some channels.
With Wu's father's status and connections, he would know a lot of news first.
Perhaps due to certain regulations, they cannot buy a house on a large scale, so Wu's mother wants to find her to buy back the house that she had sold to her before.
This way it won't be noticeable and others won't gossip about it.
Chen Baomei's heart was pounding, but she remained calm and replied to Wu's mother, "Oh, sorry, I've already sold that apartment."
As soon as Chen Baomei finished speaking, Wu's mother retorted in a very urgent tone: "Impossible, I have checked and the owner is still you!"
"Since you know I'm still the owner of the house, you should understand I don't want to sell it. Also, if you abuse your privacy to check other people's information, I'll sue you!"
Mother Wu was so angry at Chen Baomei that she felt a lump in her chest.
"Grandma Huihui, we can discuss this. That house means something different to Wenwan's father. It's where his career took off. Now he's retiring and wants to return to his old place to reminisce about the past. Can't you help us? I know there are still tenants living there. We can help you pay the penalty and won't put you in any difficult situations."
Chen Baomei had nothing to do, so she slowly walked back to the car and chatted with her.
"It seems that the house is a good feng shui location. If that's the case, it's even more impossible for me to transfer it to you. If you want to go back and reminisce about the past, you can. When the lease expires, I won't renew it, and I can rent the house to you. You can live there and still reminisce about your husband's glorious past. What do you think? Am I generous enough?"
Wu's mother: "......"
"Renting is never your own, and the experience is different. I sold the house on my own initiative, and Wenwan's father was angry for a long time. Grandma Huihui, let me buy back the house at a price 10% higher than the market price. Shouldn't that satisfy you?"
"Oh my, this house is so important to you, so there's no way I'd sell it."
What a joke, the price is 10% higher than the market price, that's just how much.
Wu Wenwan said that their house could be divided into three houses.
Mother Wu was a little upset.
She said angrily, "Then what do you want in exchange for selling the house back to me?"
Chen Baomei smiled so hard that her teeth showed, "I won't sell it, even if you give me a fortune."
Wu's mother realized that she had been fooled by Chen Baomei and hung up the phone angrily.
Although there was hope for demolition, Chen Baomei was not angry. She happily took out her notebook from her bag and opened the information of her tenants in the area.
The leases for the two apartments and the large yard were due to expire in about a month. Chen Baomei ticked the boxes with a pen, reminding them that it was time not to renew the contract.
The remaining five apartments have expiration dates of more than three months. Chen Baomei is not sure when the demolition news will come out, so she can only wait for the official announcement before taking any action.
Hopefully, I won't encounter any difficult tenants by then.
