When Jiang Zhixing went home to rest, Xu Ningyan pulled him aside and whispered to him for a long time. The main idea was for him to ask his friends if they knew of any suitable houses or shops for sale without any property disputes.
She wanted to buy a few, and also asked Jiang Zhixing if he wanted to buy a few as well, since collecting rent in the future would be better than keeping the money in the bank without circulation.
Jiang Zhixing didn't really care much about money.
After all, no matter how family-oriented Jiang Yuan was before, she never let him lack money.
Later, he received a salary, which wasn't low, and he couldn't spend it all by himself.
He also had the money Jiang Yuan gave him, which he didn't need at all.
Although I'm not really interested in buying a house, since my sister-in-law has brought it up, I'll naturally go along with her.
He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll take care of this. I'll call them right away! My sister-in-law's business is their business. Anyone who doesn't work hard will be dealt with! I'll definitely find the best location and the best house for you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ningyan quickly pulled Jiang Zhixing aside and roughly circled several well-developed areas in later generations, telling Jiang Zhixing's friends to just look for things in those circled areas.
Although Jiang Zhixing didn't understand why some of the circled places were so remote and far away, he had one good point.
I'll do whatever my sister-in-law says!
Without asking any further questions, he took the map Xu Ningyan had drawn, made a few phone calls, and went out.
Jiang Zhixing's friends are all local natives, and they are all connected through personal networks.
Half a month later, they gathered a lot of information and found Jiang Zhixing.
Jiang Zhixing first glanced at it and crossed out a few places where the conditions did not meet the requirements.
He then came to find Xu Ningyan and asked her to go see the house on Saturday and Sunday.
Xu Ningyan was overjoyed to find Jiang Zhixing's friend so helpful.
I asked Professor Xing for leave, saying that I had something to take care of at home and wouldn't be working overtime this week.
Professor Xing knew that his last disciple, though young, was reliable.
When someone says they have something to do, they really do, so I readily agree.
After all, we should also be considerate of the fact that the disciple is married and has a family. It's not right to keep him, an old man, constantly rummaging through piles of ancient papers until he's covered in dust.
It just so happened that Jiang Zhiyuan was also able to avoid working overtime this week, so he simply drove his car with his wife and younger brother to the agreed-upon place.
There are a total of six houses: two storefronts facing the street and four small courtyards.
There's a storefront next to the street, not far from the old Mao'er Hutong, near Chaoyang District. It's a storefront in the front, about 20 or 30 square meters, with two small rooms in the back. It's good for living or as a warehouse.
Another storefront is in Xidan. It's not a big storefront, it's two stories, but it's a bit dilapidated.
The four small courtyards are located in Xicheng District, Haidian District, and Chaoyang District.
The courtyards vary in size, with some having two or three courtyards.
The smaller one is a small courtyard, and the other one, which is also called a courtyard, is actually just three small bungalows.
All of these properties have very clear property rights and are free of disputes.
Some of them were those who had been exonerated and had their properties returned to them.
Some of them were confiscated before, but have now been returned to their owners.
The owners of these houses are willing to sell them; some don't want to be reminded of their loved ones by seeing these things, while others want to leave this place that brings them sadness.
Anyway, everyone has their own reasons.
Xu Ningyan didn't care about any of that; all she needed was clear property rights and to avoid any trouble.
Xu Ningyan had seen all six houses, and she was particularly interested in the courtyards of two of them, as well as the storefront in the West District.
As for the price, with Jiang Zhixing's friend acting as an intermediary, the price wasn't too high and was quite reasonable.
She had her eye on three places, one costing over two thousand, another over six thousand, and the storefront was the most expensive, costing seven thousand.
For others, these three properties are practically astronomical.
Xu Ningyan felt that this was incredibly cheap.
That price could buy two courtyards and a storefront in Beijing—it'd be a steal!
However, she remained calm and asked Jiang Zhixing first.
Jiang Zhixing was indifferent; he wasn't interested in the courtyards and shops further away. He casually pointed to a courtyard and a shop next to Chaoyang District, indicating that these two places were good.
Xu Ningyan was even happier, as the places they both liked did not conflict.
They made the decision on the spot to buy it.
The two places that Jiang Zhixing had his eye on would cost a total of more than six thousand yuan.
His money is still being kept by Jiang Yuan. If he needs to use such a large sum of money, his own savings are definitely not enough, so he will have to go back to Jiang Yuan.
Moreover, at that time, no one carried that much cash with them.
They agreed on the spot to pay the money the next day and then go to the real estate bureau to transfer the property.
When I got home, Jiang Yuan had just returned.
Upon hearing that Jiang Zhixing wanted to buy a house, Jiang Yuan frowned.
"Why are you buying a house all of a sudden? Are you planning something bad? Trying to swindle money from me? Let me tell you, this money is for you to get married! If you want to squander it, absolutely not!"
When he heard that she had bought it with Xu Ningyan and Jiang Zhiyuan, his brows immediately relaxed.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? How much does it cost? Where is the house? Have you seen it? What do you think?"
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Ningyan.
Xu Ningyan was filled with excitement but had no one to tell. Who among her family could understand? After transmigrating, buying a courtyard house and a shop in Beijing was as easy as buying cabbage. Who could understand?
He grabbed Jiang Yuan and launched into a long, detailed introduction to the courtyards and storefronts they had visited that day.
Jiang Yuan's family background meant she already had excellent taste.
After hearing about the houses in these places, I felt they were all quite nice.
Xicheng District and Dongcheng District are already central areas of Beijing, so we won't go into detail.
In Haidian District, top universities such as Peking University and Washington University are located, and there are also many royal gardens scattered throughout the area. Houses in good locations in this area will be hard to come by in the future.
I heard that Xu Ningyan chose three places. After asking her, I nodded in approval.
My daughter-in-law has good taste; the houses and shops she chose are all in good locations with future development potential.
When asked about the two positions Jiang Zhixing had chosen, they were indeed good. All six positions were good, but they were still a little inferior to the ones Xu Ningyan had chosen.
Then, her gaze towards Jiang Zhixing turned slightly disdainful; he really had no taste.
Fortunately, the two courtyards I had left behind were in good locations, so it was fair that each of the two brothers got one.
However, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Xu Ningyan wanted to buy a house and was even able to bring Jiang Zhixing along, which was already quite good.
If it were anyone else, they would probably keep such a good thing for themselves.
However, it also piqued her interest.
In recent years, apart from a small portion of her salary being used for household expenses and spending on her two grandsons, she has had virtually no other major expenses.
Besides her contribution, the majority of the household expenses were covered by Jiang Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan, with Jiang Zhixing also contributing a portion.
This is a lesson Jiang Yuan learned from the Gu family: in a family, everyone lives together, so naturally everyone has to share the responsibilities.
Although Jiang Zhixing is not married, he is an adult, receives a salary, and lives at home, so he must also bear some of the costs.
With four adults supporting a family, their combined salaries make it incredibly easy.
