Chapter 389 We pay, and the eldest sister does the work
Xiao Meiling smiled and said, "Dad, we didn't discuss this with our elder brother, but it's all from our heart, so you and mom should just accept it."
"That's right, old man, just accept it." Jiang Xinhong glanced at her husband.
"Mom and Dad," Xiao Meiling called out, "Um, Shichang mentioned buying you a house before..."
"No need. Your father and I know what you mean. Your aunt's place is pretty good now. Let's just leave it at that!" Jiang Xinhong waved her hand, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.
"Okay, let's talk about it later. Mom and Dad, I'll go back first and come see you later." Xiao Meiling stood up and said, the mission was completed, and it was time for her to go back.
Jiang Xinhong slapped her head and said with a smile, "Meiling, wait a minute, I'll bring you some dumplings filled with pork and green onions, Shichang loves them."
"Oh, Mom, that's not necessary. You and Dad can keep it for yourself. If Shichang wants to eat some dumplings, I'll make some for him." Xiao Meiling quickly refused.
"It's okay. Since you're here, take some back with you. I packed some and put them in the freezer, so I'll pick some up for you. Mom knows you like beef and celery stuffing, and I also have some in a bag, so I'll pack some for you."
Jiang Xinhong was making dumplings today and had been planning to give some to her youngest son later, but since her daughter-in-law was here, she could just take them away.
"Oh, Mom, you also made beef stuffing? I like celery and beef stuffing the best. I won't hesitate. Thank you, Mom."
When Xiao Meiling heard about dumplings with beef filling, she couldn't walk anymore. To be honest, she hadn't eaten dumplings with beef filling for a long time.
"What are you thanking me for? It was far away before, but now it's closer and it's not easy to eat dumplings!" Jiang Xinhong quickly packed two small bags of dumplings and instructed, "They are not frozen solid yet. Put them in the refrigerator when you go back, otherwise they will stick together."
"Hey, Mom, I know!" To be honest, if there's one thing Xiao Meiling misses the most, it's the dumplings made by her mother-in-law, especially those with beef filling. Each one is juicy and after eating one, she wants another.
At Jiang Xinlan's home, the three siblings were discussing how to make their eldest sister feel at ease taking over the house.
"Well, anyway, I told my eldest sister about it, but they didn't want to, saying that it was good enough for them to live in my house for free."
Jiang Xinbai shrugged. She had been looking at houses. There happened to be a small apartment of 60 square meters. The landlord was also ready to sell it. It was about 180,000 yuan. If they really wanted it, they should be able to bargain. Even if the three of them offered, each person would only be 60,000 yuan.
"My elder sister is a person with strong self-esteem. She naturally won't accept the house for free. We have to think of a way." Jiang Xinlan pursed her lips, wondering what reason she could use to make her elder sister accept it!
"Hey, I think my elder sister and brother-in-law are just overthinking it. Don't you think it's natural for brothers and sisters to help each other? We are financially better off than her, so it's not impossible for us to help her, don't you think?" Jiang Baocheng couldn't bear to see his elder sister being so pitiful even when she was old.
"That's what you say, but what can we do if elder sister doesn't want to?" It's not possible to give away houses these days.
"Actually, it wouldn't be a big deal for my eldest sister and her husband to live with Xiaobai, but I recently received news that a subway might be built in our area, so you know."
When Jiang Baocheng first heard the news, he was both surprised and scared. He was surprised that the demolition meant a large sum of compensation, but he was scared that the compensation would not reach his psychological price. He would lose both the wife and the army, after all, after the demolition, he would lose his stable income.
Jiang Xinbai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Third brother, is this true? If we demolish it, how much compensation can we get?"
Jiang Baocheng shook his head. "I don't know. Even if we have this inside information, it's still unknown when and how it will be demolished."
"Oh my God, you guys really get all the good stuff. I guess it's not a small amount. Xiaobai, how much is your annual rent now?" Jiang Xinlan looked at her sister enviously and once again regretted not keeping up with them.
"As for the rent, the two buildings can probably earn a little over 200,000 yuan a year, and that's if they're fully rented." Therefore, Jiang Xinbai still has deep feelings for Ritz-Carlton Apartments. 200,000 yuan a year is a steady profit. If the compensation does not reach her psychological price, she is not willing to demolish it.
Jiang Xinlan nodded thoughtfully, "Let's say 200,000 a year, that's 2 million for 10 years. If it's demolished, 4 or 5 million should be fine!"
"Four or five million seems like a lot, but now I think about it, if it can be avoided, then it should be removed." Although Jiang Xinbai was envious of the relocation compensation, he was reluctant to give up his own Ritz-Carlton apartment, which was a hen that laid eggs.
Jiang Baocheng waved his hand and said, "It's too early for you to say this now. We won't know until the official documents come out! Besides, our vegetable market may also be demolished. There are still many things to do later, so I'm thinking that it's still a problem where my parents and my eldest sister will live in the future."
"Oh, that's true. If the Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen is demolished, they will have no place to live." Although Jiang Xinbai is very rich, he has only bought one house in Shenzhen. The rest are in Shanghai. It is so far away, and it is impossible for him to let his parents and eldest sister and brother-in-law move to Shenzhen.
"Oh, really, I should have bought a few more houses." Jiang Xinlan regretted it a little. She only knew how to hold on to the money and basically bought houses in Shanghai. She only had one house in Shenzhen that she lived in.
"Who could have imagined that? At that time, I was thinking, there are so many houses in the Ritz-Carlton, why would I buy one? Oh, it was a mistake."
Jiang Baocheng glanced at his two sisters who looked regretful and said with a smile: "Who made the housing prices in Shenzhen so expensive? Hey, now the average commodity housing in the city is over 3,000 yuan, and the better ones are almost 10,000 yuan. The one we bought is over 6,000 yuan per square meter. The price is really skyrocketing. I think it will continue to rise."
"Well, so, we should buy a house as soon as possible. The later we wait, the more expensive it will be. I think we should not wait for eldest sister to agree. Let's look for houses first and buy a bigger one. Otherwise, eldest sister, brother-in-law and parents can live together in the future. It will be more convenient to take care of them. We pay the money and they do the work." Jiang Xinlan said after thinking for a while.
"Oh, that's true. I don't know if my elder sister and brother-in-law are willing to do so. After all, taking care of the elderly is very hard work." Although Jiang Xinbai himself has no experience, there is a family in the same building with two elderly people. The daughter-in-law was about to get angry from taking care of them, and there were quarrels at home every day. In the end, they had no choice but to send them to a nursing home.
Jiang Baocheng also thought this was a good idea, so he nodded and said, "We'll talk about it later if you're willing. If it doesn't work, hire a nanny. We must buy a bigger house."
