Chapter 199 Every Family Has Its Own Problems
Dai Qing looked at the long line and couldn't help but chuckle, "Auntie is right, there are rich people in the yard, let's not rush."
"When there are fewer people around, I'll go call you. It's so hot and you're getting prickly heat. Why bother?" The aunt fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan, feeling deeply moved.
Dai Qing came back from the neighborhood committee and went to the bank to withdraw money. Her house covers an area of 67 square meters, an old-style Soviet-style building with no living room, a corridor, two rooms, and a separate kitchen and bathroom. It is a building that reflects the characteristics of the era.
For a 67-square-meter house, one needs to pay an additional 14,700 yuan. If it were a working class person, they would have to save money for many years to afford it. It is really heartbreaking.
"Xiaoqing, I knew you were at home. I brought Xiaohua to hide at your place because I can't stay at my house anymore."
Juanzi complained, threw Xiaohua aside, and lay directly on the rocking chair, pouting and looking unhappy.
Dai Qingxun gave her an apple and sat down beside her.
"What did you do to make your mother mad?"
"I swear to God, this has nothing to do with me. Isn't our house going to be sold out? Everyone is raising money. All of us have emptied our pants, but we are still short of two thousand dollars."
Juanzi took a bite of the apple with a crunching sound, as if to vent her anger.
"In fact, my family has enough money to buy a house, but my aunt borrowed part of it some time ago. Buying a house is such a big deal, my aunt should return the money. My dad was too embarrassed to ask, so my mom took action, and my aunt ended up crying even more than my mom."
"My mother didn't ask for a penny back no matter how much she tried to persuade me. She was so angry that she didn't even eat today... She saw me feeding Xiaohua and scolded me when she caught me, saying that I didn't know how to manage my life or something like that."
"What does it have to do with me? I contributed to the purchase of the house. I borrowed the money and didn't pay it back. Can I get the money back by scolding me?"
Listening to Juanzi's complaints, Dai Qing tried to hold back her laughter.
"Don't worry, your mother didn't really scold you, she's just upset." Buying a house is a big deal, and if you don't have enough money, you'd be in a hurry.
However, if Aunt Wang really encounters difficulties, she can help.
But when it comes to money, the other party won't ask for it, and she can't show it to others.
"I understand what you said. I came to hide here because I was afraid that she would get angry and do something bad."
Juanzi was angry and bit the apple one bite at a time.
"Tell me, what are those people who don't return the money thinking? Don't they feel guilty for making other people's lives miserable?"
"This is a credit issue, especially when it comes to money. Few people can pay it back readily." Especially Wang Ergu, who is notoriously stingy and greedy. How could she possibly give back the money she has earned?
"I'm going to make braised fish today. You stay and have dinner with me." Dai Qing saw her listless look and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"Well, this place is my safe haven. Without you, I would have nowhere to go." Juanzi pouted, looking as aggrieved as a rabbit.
Unfortunately, just as she finished cooking, Zhang Pi came to her house.
"I knew you were hiding here. It's already time for dinner, but you haven't come back to eat yet. You just keep causing trouble for Xiaoqing."
"I'm just avoiding you. Who told you to keep talking all afternoon?" Juanzi was already feeling aggrieved, so she retorted unwillingly.
"Girl, how can your mother not be anxious and angry about such a big thing?" Zhang glared at her, looked at the food on the table, and looked at Dai Qing apologetically.
"I'm sorry to bother you while you're eating."
"No, I invited Juanzi to have dinner with me. Since Aunt Zhang is here, let's eat together." Dai Qing quickly added another set of bowls and chopsticks.
Zhang Pigeon waved his hands.
"Everything is ready at home. I came here because Juanzi hasn't come back yet. It's okay for her to eat here shamelessly. Auntie has to go back because there are still a lot of things to do at home."
Having said that, he turned and left without waiting for Dai Qing to try to persuade him to stay.
"Look at my mother's dark face. It's been a whole day and she still hasn't recovered." Juanzi stuck out her tongue, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, stuffed it into her mouth, squinted her eyes,
"You are amazing. You cook fish better than my mom does."
Listening to her compliments, Dai Qing teased her in return, and the two of them finished the meal happily.
The next afternoon, Dai Qing had just taken a nap when Aunt Wang came to call her.
"After a day and a half of crowding, our community is almost done. There are fewer people now, so let's hurry up and get things done."
When Dai Qing heard this, she immediately packed her things and took the money to the community.
After checking her documents, the staff asked her to pay an additional 14,720 yuan.
"Please register my name. My grandfather has passed away."
The staff member was stunned for a moment, reviewed the materials she submitted again, discussed with the staff member next to him, and nodded in agreement.
"It's a special case. The information you submitted is complete and you are eligible for the purchase. Your name can be changed."
Watching the staff input data for her, Dai Qing thanked them softly.
This was the first time that the policy of buying and selling real estate appeared. Her situation was definitely not the first, nor would it be the last. As long as people were willing to pay, the Housing Authority had no reason to object.
Half an hour later, the brand new red property deed was handed to her. "It's done. Congratulations."
"Thank you,"
Dai Qing took the property deed, checked it carefully, and put it carefully into her bag.
After her rebirth, she finally had her first property.
As soon as she left, Liu Ming came out from the next room. He looked at Dai Qing's back with complicated eyes, especially the big red book she had just taken. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
He had planned and worked hard for this house before, but nothing could escape the arrangement of fate.
Just like what Cao Yingzi said, maybe he is really unlucky, that's why he gets nothing.
As soon as I left the community, I ran into Zhang Pigeon. "Xiaoqing, have you got your property deed? Can I take a look at it?"
"Of course, take a look."
Dai Qing handed her the property deed and watched Zhang Pi carefully read it from top to bottom, then carefully returned it to her. Then her face fell.
"Oh, I don't know when we can get the title deed to our house. It's really worrying."
Dai Qing looked at her and hesitated, "…but have you encountered any difficulties? Juanzi explained a little, but I didn't quite understand."
"Alas, every family has its own problems. Some things cannot be said, which makes people angry to death." Zhang Pigeon sighed, "I can't get the money back after I lend it out. Such a big thing can't be done."
Having said that, he felt it was inappropriate to complain to Dai Qing about these things, so he smiled awkwardly and turned away.
Dai Qing looked at her back, pursed her lips, turned back to look again, and decided to help them if their family was really in trouble.
After all, Aunt Wang treated her well, so she should lend a hand when she encountered difficulties.
Getting the property title deed is a great joyous event and she should celebrate.
