Yan Aidang "..."
Xue Ying and Yan Daqiang exchanged a glance and secretly smiled. This child was really easy to fool.
Yan Aidang had his own way of doing things. When he learned that the price of courtyard houses was rising rapidly, he wanted to buy one even more. When his best friends learned that Yan Aidang wanted to buy a three-courtyard house, they all shook their heads: "A one-courtyard house is easy to buy, but a three-courtyard one will have to be bought from your father."
"What was the price when you bought it?"
"Just buy it for eight thousand," my best friend said, sounding a bit reluctant.
"What? It's so much more expensive!" Yan Aidang was startled.
"Bro, I've already given you a 2,000 yuan discount. The going rate outside is already 10,000 yuan," my best friend replied, clutching his heart.
"Then leave me one set, I'll go get the money." Yan Aidang said and left quickly. He could only come up with five thousand yuan at most. Maybe he should borrow some money from Nan Nan. Nan Nan should be able to come up with three thousand yuan.
Yan Xiaonan knew that courtyard houses would be incredibly expensive in the future, but he didn't expect the prices to start rising now, and so quickly. His eyes lit up: "Brother Ai Dang, do you have any connections to help me get another one? I'll give you 12,000 yuan to help you with the arrangements, how about that?"
Yan Aidang stared at Yan Xiaonan in surprise: "You, you, you already have one, so why, why did you buy... what?"
“Didn’t Chen’er receive a dowry of a house, and it’s even a two-story house? What are you buying?” Yan Xiaonan immediately retorted.
"Well, okay, I'll do as you say. Give me the money," Yan Aidang said through gritted teeth.
Yan Xiaonan happily ran to the north room, turned around once, and took out 12,000 yuan, handing it to Yan Aidang. Yan Aidang was envious; how wonderful it would be if he could take out 18,000 yuan just by turning around at home.
"That three-courtyard house in the north and south isn't for sale outside. I'll have to ask my old man. You should also ask Ye Chenming; his old man definitely has connections." Yan Aidang dropped this bombshell as he left.
Yan Xiaonan had a plan in mind: why not use the money from selling cotton and rice at the end of this month to invest in a courtyard house, keep it for twenty or thirty years, and then sell it? He'd be a millionaire!
Thinking of this, Yan Xiaonan ran into her room to write a letter to Ye Chenming. She wanted a courtyard house, both two-courtyard and three-courtyard, and she wanted it secretly, so she could make a fortune quietly.
As a result, a group of people in Beijing began to specialize in buying courtyard houses. You wouldn't believe it until you asked, and what they said was shocking: a single-courtyard house was 10,000 yuan a unit, no questions asked; a two-courtyard house was 30,000 yuan a unit, no bargaining allowed; and a three-courtyard house was 60,000 yuan a unit, and you couldn't get one without paying extra.
With 150,000 yuan from selling rice and cotton, Ye Chenming managed to snag two sets of three-bedroom apartments and one set of two-bedroom apartments. At the same time, Yan Daqiang also managed to snag one set of three-bedroom apartments, which he did for Bei Nan. He not only paid an extra 20,000 yuan but also incurred a lot of favors from his friends.
It was only then that he realized that Ai Dang's words were true. Courtyard houses were so sought after that, and it was not certain that he could get one even if he wanted to in the future. What he did not know was that his son had already acquired two courtyard houses, one of which belonged to Nan Nan.
When Yan Xiaonan held a stack of property deeds with her name on them, she felt completely at ease. The exhilarating feeling of waiting to become a billionaire was simply wonderful.
Grandma Yan's lips twitched, somewhat puzzled as to why her precious child wanted to hoard so many courtyard houses and so many houses. Could he possibly live in them all?
"Grandma, let me tell you a secret. This house we live in now will be worth at least five thousand thousand yuan when you turn one hundred," Yan Xiaonan whispered in Grandma Yan's ear.
Grandma Yan exclaimed, "My dear child, is that true? Then I must live to be a hundred years old to see if this house can be worth five thousand thousand yuan. You'll have to help me count the money!"
Yan Xiaonan nodded vigorously: "Absolutely."
Yan Xiaoqiang held a property certificate, looking dejected. Of his three sons, he had the least faith in Bei Nan, but now Bei Nan was the most successful. With his eldest brother's help, he bought a three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) for a full 80,000 yuan. But so what? Bei Nan had two million yuan. With that much money, even Dong Nan and Xi Nan couldn't catch up.
Grandma Yan looked at Nan Nan strangely and asked, "Why did you buy a three-courtyard house for 60,000 yuan, but your uncle wants 80,000 yuan?"
Yan Xiaonan shook her head. Ye Huili must have been behind this. Courtyard houses vary in quality and preservation, and the locations are also different. There seems to be an internal price and an external price as well. These things are too complicated for her to understand.
"Grandma, Ye Chenming told me not to tell anyone except you, Dad, and Mom. He'll take us to see those courtyard houses in a couple of days. You need to take a good look at them, because we'll be moving then."
Grandma Yan nodded: "Baby, that's enough. We won't move. It'll save others from feeling sad. You'll get married someday, so you can leave those houses to your children."
Yan Xiaonan objected: "Grandma, if I get married, I'll have to take you with me. Then this house will be too small, and we'll have to move to another place."
"Okay, after you get married, Grandma will move to the new house with you." Grandma Yan smiled broadly.
Cuihua came in carrying some snacks: "Mother, where are you moving to with Nannan?"
Yan Xiaonan jumped up and took the plate from Cuihua's hand: "Mom, whichever house you and Grandma like, we'll move to that house."
Cuihua touched her daughter's face: "Mom is so lucky to have given birth to you, my little rascal."
Ye Chenming drove the borrowed Jeep, taking Yan Xiaonan, her grandmother, and her future father-in-law and mother-in-law to see the houses in high spirits. Yan Xiaonan didn't expect that the three houses were connected together. This was too good!
"Grandma, Nannan, Uncle and Aunt, this house was originally a large eight-courtyard mansion, but it has been divided into two three-courtyard houses and one two-courtyard house. If it is opened up in the future, I estimate that horses can run in it," Ye Chenming introduced.
As the door opened, the group began to look around. Ye Chenming handed over the floor plan and acted as their guide. Yan Xiaoqiang liked it more and more as he looked at the room, becoming increasingly excited: "Chenming, why don't you and Nannan get married here in the future? You can combine all three houses together, and my grandson can travel around everywhere in the future, haha."
Cuihua was startled. What grandson? He was clearly a grandson-in-law! How could anyone steal him like this? Ye Chenming, however, didn't care at all. He was already grateful to hear those words. Why bother with grandsons or grandsons-in-law? They were all his children. He could just have more children, and eventually one of them would bear the Ye surname.
Thinking of this, she quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, Uncle. There will be three main wives, one for Grandma, one for Uncle and Aunt, and one for Nannan and me."
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly. "This is a good arrangement. When Nan Nan has children in the future, she can use this big place to her heart's content."
