Chapter 860: The role substitution is quite fast
My mother finally realized something was wrong and took a deep breath and said, "Shuyi, let's put aside the 8,000 yuan for household expenses. The extra money you've given to your parents-in-law over the years must be 600,000 or 700,000 yuan, right?
That's fine, but after all, we bought you a house, and now we have to honor your in-laws. How can this be called a lie? That house is worth at least six million now, right?
Let's talk about the lesser amount, 550,000, which means the total is more than 6 million. So, taking care of your baby for 12 years is worth 500,000 a year?
What kind of babysitter would cost so much money? "
My uncle's face turned pale, sweat on his forehead, and he still stubbornly argued, "Sister, how can you compare Lizhen's parents to nannies? They came to help purely because they felt sorry for their daughter."
The more I listened, the more speechless I became. "Uncle, you've been supporting your father-in-law and your brother-in-law for years. Now that you're unemployed and in debt and can't pay them, they want to kick you back north?"
"Actually, you can't calculate it that way. The house will still be mine in the future, but I'm letting them live in it now."
My uncle was obviously feeling guilty, but he still tried his best to convince us. In fact, I think he was just trying to convince himself.
What kind of brainwashing masters are my aunt's family? They PUA my uncle like this.
I felt a little sympathetic towards my uncle. "Uncle, what does my aunt mean? You have a house in Lincheng, but you want to rent one in T City?"
This doesn't sound reasonable. T City is not as developed as Lincheng, but the housing prices are lower than Lincheng.
"She, she said it was for the child..."
What I don’t understand even more is, is this some kind of hardship education that requires children to live in a rented house?
"For the sake of the children? How can you say that?" My mother didn't understand either.
"Lizhen said that the Jiangnan Province college entrance examination is too competitive and the scores are too high. There's only one university for both 985 and 211 programs combined. Last year, the admission rate for 985 programs in Jiangnan Province was 1.8%, and the admission rate for 211 programs was 3.9%. It will be very difficult for children to get into a good university in the future."
My uncle's argument made sense. "But if I could go to City A to take the college entrance exam, things would be different. The admission rate for 985 universities in City A is 6%, and the admission rate for 211 universities is 18%. How many times higher is that! This admission rate is even higher than our City T."
I became even more confused after hearing this and looked at my mother. "Mom, now that I'm studying in City T, can I go to City A to take the college entrance examination?"
"Impossible. My colleague's child is taking the college entrance exam this year. If there were such a policy, she would definitely know about it."
Having said that, my uncle no longer concealed the truth, "Lizhen wants to settle down in City A and asked me to find a job in City A.
She said that City A is the best choice for her child because it is easy to take the college entrance exam, has many large companies and job opportunities, and is also close to City T.
Ha, my aunt is quite bold. Doesn’t she know how high the housing prices in City A are?
Although the housing prices in Lincheng are also high, compared with City A, the housing prices in Lincheng do not seem so outrageous.
Sure enough, even my mother expressed her disapproval, "Shuyi, if you go to City A to develop your career after graduation, I will definitely support you.
But you are now married and have children. In two years, you will be 40 years old. It is too risky to go to City A to work hard now.
To take a step back, if you have savings now and have sold your house in Lincheng, then you can buy a house in City A and slowly look for a job, which is also acceptable.
But now not only have you lost all your savings, you also owe more than 200,000 yuan in debt and cannot sell your house. Where do you plan to live in City A?
Do you know how expensive the rent is in City A?"
As my mother said this, she looked at me, as if asking me to tell her how expensive the rent in City A is.
I tried to recall the market prices I'd learned about renting a place before, and said, "A 50-square-meter house would probably cost around 5,000."
This price seemed to be beyond my uncle's expectation. He blurted out, "How much is the rent for the house you live in now?"
I thought he wanted to rent a house based on my standards, so I told him the truth, "If it's for rent, the market price should be 12,000 per month, and the area is about 100 square meters."
My mother frowned and said, "Shuyi, although jobs in City A generally pay higher wages, it's not worth spending more than 10,000 yuan on rent every month.
If you really want to come back, the best solution is to settle down in T City. At least the houses are cheaper, and you can stay with me for a while."
Isn't the best solution to sell the house?
But this is none of my business. Although most of the family savings are in my mother's hands, I don't think she would directly give money to my uncle to buy a house without my father's consent.
My uncle looked at me several times as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
When I returned to my room at night, I told Xiao Shiqiu about my uncle's affairs.
Xiao Shiqiu offered to help his uncle find a job. When talking about this uncle who was the same age as him, he quickly put himself in the role of his nephew's husband.
"Send me a copy of our uncle's resume so I can see if there's a suitable position for him. Although the income in City A is higher than in Lincheng, it's still difficult to buy a house with your salary."
He paused and said, "When our new house is renovated, we will move in. You can lend this pigeon cage to your uncle so he can live there for the time being."
I felt so warm inside when I heard that that I couldn't suppress the smile on my face. I deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "Aren't you afraid that people will say I'm desperately trying to stick to my parents before I even get married?"
He laughed out loud: "Borrowing a relative's house to live in means supporting my parents? How much does a house cost?
This house was originally given to you. You can do whatever you want with it. I won't make any comments whether you give it away or sell it.
But since you're so stingy, you definitely wouldn't be willing to give it away. At most, you'd just lend it to someone to live in, and you might even be thinking of renting it out in the future to collect rent."
My face turned red, and I felt a little angry and embarrassed. It seemed that in his mind, I could never get rid of this stingy image of mine.
"Xiao Shiqiu~~How am I stingy? I, I never bargain when I buy things!" If I wasn't leaning on the bed, I would have stomped my feet in anxiety.
"Haha~~" The guy opposite was almost laughing to tears. It took him a while to stop laughing. He even wiped the corners of his eyes. Damn! Is he laughing to tears? That's too much!
Then I heard him say in a low voice, "Baby, you are so cute. I really want to hold you in my arms and kiss you hard!"
This sudden love remark extinguished my newly brewing anger. I snorted and said with a pout, "I'm being stingy and won't give you a kiss."
He laughed softly again, "Baby, when you're with me, you have to remember that everything that can be solved with money is a small matter. The thing we have the most is money.
I am willing to help your uncle because your family has few relatives, and even fewer who you can get along well with.
You and your uncle are not very close. The relationship between relatives is based on the feelings developed over a long period of time and the interests maintained. At least you have one of them.
I hope that except me, everyone around you will like you, protect you and pamper you.
As long as they treat you well."
