"How can you say it's a pity? I even feel like I've wronged you." Zheng Gan said unhappily. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted his grandma to live in peace, he wouldn't mind spending another one or two hundred thousand to build a house.
Jiang Fusheng was not a fool, especially now that he had grown up, so he naturally knew what Zheng Gan meant. "Agan, let's not talk about me first, even your grandma won't agree, so I think we should just forget it."
"Okay, then I'll go find my grandma first. But we have to agree that if grandma agrees, you can't object anymore." Zheng Gan had anticipated this result a long time ago, so he was not discouraged. He turned around and went to discuss it with his grandma Wang Guihua.
The result was the same. After hearing this, Wang Guihua directly refused as expected.
"Grandma, listen to me, I am your grandson. If my mother knew that I didn't take good care of you, how could I face her in the future?" Zheng Gan seemed to be unable to persuade her, so he directly brought up his deceased mother.
Wang Guihua has felt guilty about her daughter running away from home all her life. Now when Zheng Gan mentioned it, she burst into tears instantly.
Zheng Gan knew that saying this would definitely hurt his grandmother's feelings, but the arrow was on the string, so he could only grit his teeth and continue speaking.
"Grandma, our lives are getting better and better, but you're still living in this shabby house. If this gets out, I'll be embarrassed. Besides, I didn't give you this house for free. I paid for it."
"That's a deal, we'll give you the same amount as the house cost." Wang Guihua finally gave in.
"Okay, no problem, grandma. It's settled." Zheng Gan was overjoyed. As for how much the house cost at that time, wasn't it entirely up to him?
He immediately went to find his uncle Jiang Fusheng and told him that his grandmother agreed to buy a house.
"Did you really agree?" Jiang Fusheng looked incredulous. He knew his mother's temper very well.
"Of course I can do it. I'm definitely worth two people." Zheng Gan said proudly, "Hurry up, let's go to my house, call Xiaofeng, sign a contract, and we'll be done."
This contract is not for the purpose of asking for money, but mainly because a contract is required for transferring ownership and other things.
"Three hundred thousand? No, no, this price is too low." Jiang Fusheng shook his head as soon as he heard the price.
"Is this price low? My uncle, I spent this much money on this house. I would ask for a higher price. If I put it on the market through a real estate agency, it wouldn't be sold for even 300,000 yuan." Zheng Gan said foolishly.
But it's not entirely a scam. The original construction cost of this house was exactly 300,000 yuan, which is not a lie. It's just that the decoration cost more than 400,000 yuan.
Besides, the houses in the village really can’t be sold. They cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Who has the spare time to buy one? Wouldn’t it be better to build one yourself or buy one in the county with that money?
Seeing that Jiang Fusheng was still hesitating, Zheng Gan immediately secretly kicked Jiang Feng next to him, telling him not to just stand there and watch the show.
"My brother is right, Dad, his house is indeed hard to sell. It's empty anyway, so we just buy it." Jiang Feng was kicked and quickly advised.
For Jiang Fusheng, 300,000 is too little. He is now the person in charge of Tianweilou, and he also gets dividends from his shares, plus his salary, which means he can make at least 500,000 or 600,000 a year.
There is also Jiang Feng, who goes out to sea with Zheng Gan every day. His annual salary is 150,000 to 160,000 yuan, and with bonuses, he earns nearly 300,000 yuan.
The combined annual income of this father and son is about 800,000 to 900,000 yuan, which is considered a middle-class family in China, and it is a top-tier income in this small county.
So three hundred thousand is nothing to them.
"Shut up! You talk too much! If you continue talking, I'll show you how I'll deal with you when we get back." Jiang Fusheng glared at him, and Jiang Feng became intimidated. He gave Zheng Gan a helpless look and hid in the corner, drawing circles.
"Uncle, let's just go with this price. After all, Agan also wants you and grandma to live better." Qiao Xin spoke.
As a daughter-in-law, she has a special status in the whole family. Basically, no one will object to what she says, so when she says this, Jiang Fusheng has to think carefully about it.
"Uncle, please sign the contract quickly and transfer the money to me. I will accompany you to transfer the ownership tomorrow." Zheng Gan almost forced Jiang Fusheng to sign by force.
"Okay, it's done. Go back and pack your things with your aunt. After I finish packing in the next two days, we can move out and go back to see your uncle." When Zheng Gan saw that the contract had been signed, he half-pushed Jiang Fusheng away immediately, fearing that he would go back on his word.
......
In the next few days, Zheng Gan and a group of laborers started moving. In fact, there were not many things. All the appliances and furniture were placed in the previous house. There were also some daily necessities and clothes.
"We've moved, it's time to treat everyone." Lin Hao said with a smile. He definitely couldn't just let it go like that. He had to get some compensation after working so hard for so long.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat." Zheng Gan scolded, "Eat at home at noon tomorrow. You are responsible for going back to inform uncle and aunt, and bring Xiaolin with you."
There is a custom in their place that after moving into a new house, one must entertain guests. This is called "warming the house", also commonly known as "warming the pot". The host invites some relatives and friends to come over, makes a fire at home to cook a meal, and has a lively time together. It is said that this can bring good luck and prosperity to people.
"Brother Hao, don't forget, we also need to warm up the pots in two or three days." Jiang Feng interjected. Zheng Gan's family had finished moving, so it would be his family's turn next.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't forget. I will definitely be there if there's anything delicious." Lin Hao said, patting his chest.
Early the next morning, Zheng Gan drove to the county with two laborers to purchase ingredients. The chef for today's warm pot banquet was still Jia Teng, so the ingredients had to be richer, otherwise it would be a shame to the chef's skills.
"Are you bored and have nothing to do? Why did you tell Uncle Qiang? Isn't that asking him to pay a red envelope?" After coming out of Dongqiang Aquatic Products, Zheng Gan scolded Lin Hao.
There are rules for warming the pot here. Those who are invited must prepare a red envelope. Before, Zheng Gan only invited his family members, but Lin Hao was too mean and told Wang Dongqiang directly.
"Ahem, didn't I just say that?" Lin Hao said awkwardly.
"That's just a passing remark. What about Zhao Xing and Liu Feng?"
