Chapter 390 Is this the solution?
In October, Jiang Xinbai and his friends finally found a very suitable house. They quickly paid for it and waited for the transfer of ownership. At the same time, the news of the demolition also spread.
Jiang Xinhong naturally also knew about the demolition. She glanced at her husband and whispered, "Old Han, you said that the Ritz-Carlton Apartment is also within the demolition range. What should we do then? Should we rent a house?"
Han Shan put out the cigarette in his hand, sighed and replied: "It's all going to be demolished, so we can't live here anymore. We don't have any better options except renting a house. We can't live in Shichang's house, right?"
"That's not possible. There's no room for us at their house." Jiang Xinhong had never thought about living with her youngest son's family. She would rather rent a house on her own.
"Actually, we still have some money. Why don't we just buy a smaller house?" Han Shan thought that with the 60,000 yuan for buying a house, plus the 30,000 yuan they saved in the next few years, there would be 90,000 yuan here. It should be enough to buy a smaller house, right?
"Buying a house? Whether it's enough or not is another matter. I have no idea that the money has been spent." Jiang Xinhong was also worried. They were both old. Even if they did handicrafts, they could only earn enough money for vegetables in a day. What if they got sick again?
Seeing his wife hesitate, Han Shan had no good idea for the moment, after all, money was the key.
"Sister, brother-in-law, are you at home?" At this time, Jiang Xinbai's voice was heard outside the door.
Jiang Xinhong stood up immediately after hearing this and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, hey, Xiaolan is here too, come in and sit down."
"Sister, brother-in-law, please sit down too. I have something to tell you today." Jiang Xinbai patted the seat beside him and said to Xiao Zhezhe.
"Xiaobai, we all know about it. Are you going to talk about the demolition of Ritz-Carlton Apartments? It's okay. Your brother-in-law and I have discussed it. We will just rent a house when the time comes." Jiang Xinhong said anxiously, fearing that her younger sister would misunderstand her.
Jiang Xinlan pointed at the eldest sister and glanced at the younger sister, then said with a smile, "Xiaobai, look, I knew the eldest sister would say that!"
Jiang Xinbai also laughed and said, "Second sister, you really guessed it right."
"What are you doing..." Jiang Xinhong was completely confused. She looked at her husband and then at her two sisters, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Xinbai held her elder sister's hand and replied with a smile: "Sister, I'm not here to chase you away."
"But this house does need to be demolished, and the announcement has come out." Han Shan also said that the government's announcement cannot be false!
Jiang Xinbai nodded and replied: "Brother-in-law, this house is going to be demolished, but you don't need to rent a house."
"Ah, this..." Jiang Xinhong looked at her husband, then at her younger sister, and asked tentatively: "Xiaobai, do you want us to live in your house?" There are two empty rooms in her younger sister's house, but aren't they for Jiadong and the others to live in when they come back?
Jiang Xinbai shook his head. "That's not it. I'm afraid you won't be used to living with us. My second sister, my third brother and I have picked out a house. When the time comes, you guys..."
"No, no, I've already said no, how can you buy me a house?" Jiang Xinhong refused before her younger sister could finish her words.
"Yes, Xiaobai, Xiaolan, your elder sister and I know your good intentions, but this is not good." Han Shan is also a practical man. He can't just accept a house worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Hey, sister, why are you refusing before you even finish listening to me? We bought this house not only for you, but also for our parents! We thought that if you and your husband take care of our parents, we would save some effort." Jiang Xinlan on the side became anxious. It was better for her to say what they had to do in order to get the two of them to argue back and forth over just a few words.
"Xiao Lan, it's our duty to take care of our parents, but we can't take your house." Jiang Xinhong still couldn't get over it.
"Xiaohong, don't be stubborn. Listen to your brothers and sisters." At this time, Chen Cui'e and Jiang Youtian pushed open the door and walked in.
"Hey, Mom and Dad, why are you here too? Please sit down." Jiang Xinhong quickly stood up and helped her mother sit on the sofa.
Jiang Youtian gently pushed his eldest son-in-law's hand away and said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't reached that point yet, no need to help me."
Chen Cui'e rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "You old man, you are already over 80 years old, but you still refuse to admit your age! Shanzi, don't worry about your father, just sit down."
Han Shan touched his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, Dad is indeed strong and looks more energetic than me."
"By the way, where were we just talking about? Yes, the house, Xiaohong, your brother and sister said they have chosen a house, and from now on, the four of us will live in it, and the house will be in your names." Chen Cui'e said as she patted her eldest daughter's hand.
Jiang Xinhong was even more unwilling to do so after hearing this. "Mom, I can live with you and take care of you, but you can't put my name on this house. Doesn't that make it mine?"
"It was originally bought for you and your brother-in-law, so don't refuse it, sis." Jiang Xinbai couldn't understand why it was so difficult to convince her elder sister.
"That's right, big sister, big brother-in-law, we pay for the house, you do the work, and big brother and second brother, they also have to give parents living expenses every month, everyone contributes, isn't this great?"
Jiang Xinlan had already agreed with her two brothers who were abroad to give her parents 300 yuan a month for living expenses. This way, her parents would have 600 yuan a month, plus the pocket money that the three of them gave to her parents, that would be enough.
"Ah, but..."
"No buts. Do you want your parents to live in our homes in turn when they are so old? It is definitely better to live in one place for a long time."
"Okay, listen to me, it's settled. Xiaolan, Xiaobai, didn't you say you found a house you liked? Come on, take us to see it. If it's okay today, we can transfer the ownership directly." Chen Cui'e decided right away. As for her eldest daughter's stubbornness, there would be more trouble if she continued talking.
"Okay, Mom, Dad, sister, brother-in-law, let's go." Jiang Xinbai stood up first and helped his mother walk out.
Chen Cui'e, who had just walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned to look at her eldest daughter and said, "Xiaohong, don't forget to bring your ID, both yours and Shanzi's."
Seeing this, Jiang Xinhong had no choice but to follow along obediently, taking her ID with her.
After seeing the house, Jiang Xinhong's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "Xiaobai, how much does this house cost? It must be expensive."
Han Shan looked at the three-story single-family house in front of him and said with a smile: "This is much better than the house in our hometown. We can plant some flowers and plants in the yard in front of this house!"
"Oh, why plant flowers and plants? It's more suitable to plant vegetables." Jiang Xinhong was successfully led astray and did not chase Jiang Xinbai to ask how much the house cost.
Chen Cui'e squinted her eyes and shook her head, "I still grow vegetables, how much money can I spend on buying some? I just grow flowers, people will feel good when they see them."
Jiang Xinbai and Jiang Xinlan looked at each other and said with a smile, "Mom, then let's settle on this?"
