He Wenlin's family doesn't know she bought a Mercedes-Benz.
When she drove home that night, everyone was astonished!
When they saw the human-shaped symbol, He's father and Lin Fei's second brother were the most excited!
The other people weren't excited because all the cars looked the same to them, with only one difference: color and whether they were new or old.
"A Mercedes!" Mr. He ran over, stroking the car with affection. "Linlin, when did you buy it? Why didn't you mention it?"
“I bought it the day I got my driver’s license,” He Wenlin said. “How about it? Want to drive it? You can drive this car from now on, and I’ll drive your Santana.”
Aunt He laughed and said, "That's not necessary. You're going out to discuss business, and there are many wealthy people in a place like Shanghai. It's better if you drive a nice car yourself, so that people don't look down on you."
Mr. He was overjoyed when He Wenlin asked him to switch cars, and he was about to agree when he heard what Mrs. He said.
Then, Dad said, "I'm fine driving my Santana. Just listen to your mother. You can drive this car yourself, just let me drive it during the Chinese New Year."
He Wenhua and Yuan Ya are getting married on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and Peng Liang and He Ling are getting married on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so the whole family will be going back home for the New Year this year.
"Linlin, this car must cost around a million yuan." The second brother was also extremely envious.
"The total price is right, but I'm buying it on loan, and I have to pay it off for three years," He Wenlin said. "Lin Fei, have you bought a car yet? Didn't you say you were eyeing a used Xiali a while ago? Did you buy it?"
"Don't even mention it. My mom says buying a car is a waste of money. I won't drive it more than twice a year. She absolutely refuses to give me any money, saying that we built a house and don't have any money left for me."
Lin Fei became somewhat unhappy when this was mentioned.
All his friends have bought cars, but he and He Shan haven't. He Shan is a girl who just turned 18 this year, so it's normal that she hasn't bought one. How can he feel comfortable about that?
Because after buying the house, his salary went to his mother to pay the mortgage, leaving him with only a small portion.
So when he needed a lot of money, he could only ask his mother, but he couldn't get it from her.
The house was built last year. This year, he gave his mother more than 10,000 yuan. When he asked her for 6,000 yuan, she couldn't come up with it. How could that be?
Lin Fei now feels that money really should be in his own hands!
“Buying a car isn’t really that useful for you. You’ll only drive it for a few days during the Chinese New Year,” He Wenlin said. “It’s okay if you don’t buy a car. If you can afford it, you should buy a house. House prices have gone up again.”
“Yes, the house I bought on Shian Road is now going for 1,700 or 1,800 yuan per square meter,” He Wenjun said excitedly. “When I bought it, it was less than 1,300 yuan per square meter. And that wasn’t even in a proper residential area. If it were in a residential area, the price would have gone up even more.”
Speaking of this, He Wenjun is actually very grateful to his younger sister, He Wenlin.
Others rely on their fathers' connections, he relies on his sister's!
Many people say he's lucky, and he admits it, saying, "Well, he was born into the right family."
“I heard from experts that housing prices may rise to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter, so it’s more cost-effective to buy early,” He Wenlin said. “A car is fine as long as it can get around, it depreciates. You’re not married and don’t have a family yet, so you don’t have to buy one.”
"Twenty or thirty thousand?" Everyone gasped in disbelief.
“Yes, twenty or thirty thousand! I think it’s not impossible. Think about how much the house price was ten years ago? How much is it now?” He Wenlin said, “Let’s not talk about ten years ago. When we first bought the house, it was about a thousand yuan per square meter in the community. Now, even in a walk-up community, it’s more than two thousand. An elevator building is even more expensive. Now the price changes every year, increasing by five or six hundred every year. In five years, it will be at least five or six thousand per square meter. If the rate of increase is fast…”
"Then those of us who bought early must have made a fortune!" The He family was extremely excited.
He Wenlin: "Of course. So, if you have money, buy real estate. It's a sure way to make money! When house prices rise, rents will rise too. Second brother, the rents on Shi'an Road have gone up a bit, haven't they?"
“I’m currently renting for 300 a month, and they haven’t raised the rent. But if this person leaves and someone else comes to rent, I’ll have to pay 350 a month.”
His apartment has two bedrooms, a living room, and a balcony. It's close to the hospital and the antique street. Honestly, 300 a month is really not expensive.
Now, a small room of about 10 square meters, which can only fit two single beds and a coal briquette room for brushing teeth and washing face, costs 150 yuan a month to rent. There is no shower, and you have to go to a public toilet outside.
…
He Wenlin stayed in Shaocheng for five days. On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, she drove Lin Fei, Old Lady He, He Dashun, and Tang Ping back home.
Because He Dashun, Tang Ping, and Old Lady He needed to go back first to prepare the things needed for the banquet.
The two newcomers, He Wenhua and Yuan Ya, were not in a hurry and planned to go back with their parents the day after tomorrow.
He Wenhua wanted to make some more money in the next couple of days. It was Chinese New Year, and there were many people shopping. His pancake business was booming.
Some people think he values making money too much. What kind of groom doesn't care about his wedding?
However, Yuan Ya actually wanted him to extend the banquet by a couple more days. In Yuan Ya's view, the clothes and shoes for the banquet had already been bought, and they could simply bring them back. The wedding photos had already been taken in Shaoxing, and both sets of parents were taking care of the banquet arrangements, so they wouldn't have much to do back home.
It's better to stay here and earn more money so we can finish building that building sooner.
They arrived home with He's parents and He Wenjun around noon on the 27th, just in time for lunch.
Five people drove back in three cars.
The road in the village was built with funds from the He family, and it's much smoother now.
As soon as the villagers saw them get out of the car, they couldn't help but say, "You guys are doing great, several cars per family."
He Wenhua laughed and said, "They're all secondhand cars, not worth much. You're just reluctant to buy them, but if you were willing, you could afford them."
