Xu Xiangyang smiled with satisfaction when he heard her guarantee.
He said, "Aunt Liu, I won't make things difficult for you. You'll definitely be able to help."
Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief; she also regretted exaggerating.
But since the words have already been spoken, it's not good to go back on your word, right?
Besides, he had just lent her two hundred yuan; that was a huge help.
She smiled and said, "It's alright, just tell me what's wrong, and I'll do my best!"
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "That's right, Aunt Liu. You see, my family has two more younger brothers, so we definitely won't have enough room in the future. I'm not married yet, so I'm thinking of buying another house. Any kind is fine, as long as it's livable."
What he said made perfect sense, and Aunt Liu agreed. At the same time, she envied Wang Xiumin; she was so lucky to have given birth to two sons!
"Xiao Xu, leave this to Aunt Liu." She said, then thought for a moment and said, "I do have an empty yard, you can see the one across the street, right? It's just that the yard is a bit small, and the house isn't big either, only fifty square meters."
Her house has been empty for two years, mainly because it's about the same size as Xu Xiangyang's house, with three large houses in the yard.
I want to find a place to live, but it's inconvenient, and having a separate household would increase expenses.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang thought to himself, "That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear."
He hesitated before asking, "Aunt Liu, it doesn't matter if the house is big or small. Don't you live there?"
The house is right across from theirs, which is very convenient; they can see the other side from their front door.
Both properties are street-front, so they're good for opening shops in the future; they're definitely commercial properties.
Aunt Liu sighed and said, "Where would we live? There are so many people in my family, the house is big enough. It was originally for the older generation, but they passed away, so we built a new house."
The house is new, but it has nothing else and has been vacant for two years.
Xu Xiangyang had noticed the courtyard before, but it seemed too small, so he didn't think much of it.
The homeowner has already come to the door, so take it if you can! At least it's facing the street!
“Alright, Aunt Liu, why don’t you go back and discuss this with my uncle?” he asked. “After all, it’s your family’s house, so we should at least ask him. What if my uncle doesn’t want to sell it? Right?”
It's best to get this sorted out now, so that there won't be any more issues arising after the purchase. He won't have time to deal with these things.
Aunt Liu waved her hand, "No need, I'll make the decisions for our family!"
Xu Xiangyang could tell that Aunt Liu was indeed in charge; otherwise, she wouldn't have been allowed to handle the loan.
Who's in charge?
If a woman is allowed to borrow money, it means that the man cannot make decisions.
“Okay, Aunt Liu, how much do you want to sell it for?” he asked.
At this moment, Wang Xiumin also came out, reluctantly taking the money.
Of course she was unhappy. Just now, Wang Zhongshan had told her that since Xu Xiangyang had agreed, she shouldn't interfere.
The child is old enough to know what he's doing. Besides, this money was earned by the child, so he can spend it however he wants.
When Aunt Liu saw her come out, she said warmly, "Sister, I was too abrupt today. I had no choice. Please understand."
She knew Wang Xiumin was unhappy, but there was nothing she could do. However, she would definitely help Xu Xiangyang with his request. Her own house was already vacant, and since she could sell it, she might as well do him a favor.
Wang Xiumin forced a smile. "It's nothing."
No wonder nothing happened!
"Little Xu," Aunt Liu turned to Xu Xiangyang and said, "I won't cheat you out of the house, it's only three hundred yuan."
This house should theoretically be worth around 350, and it could be sold for 300 in an emergency.
Xu Xiangyang didn't want to see people aggressively trying to lower prices when they encountered problems; that would be too unethical.
“Okay, Aunt Liu, take the two hundred yuan first. Tomorrow I’ll go with you to the street office to transfer the house, and I’ll pay you another hundred yuan then, how about that?” He wasn’t just throwing money away, so he kept the hundred yuan to avoid her going back on her word.
If you regret it later, the money will be considered a loan; if you don't, you'll receive the money normally. There's nothing wrong with that.
Wang Xiumin, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. What? She bought a house? She'd only been inside for a short while, and she'd already bought a house?
Before she could figure it out, Xu Xiangyang took the money from her and gave it to the other person.
She only realized what had happened after Aunt Liu went back.
"Xiangyang, what do you mean by buying a house?" She was a little confused.
Xu Xiangyang then told him that he had bought Aunt Liu's house, which was right across the street.
Wang Xiumin couldn't understand why they would buy a house when they already had such a big place at home. Two more people could live there.
Of course, she included Xu Xiangyang's room in the calculation.
Xu Xiangyang then voiced his thoughts, "Mom, you see, my two younger brothers are still young now, but they'll have to get married in the future, right? We can't all be crammed together, can we?"
"Besides, they won't even be married off until they go to school and will have to live alone, and they need a quiet environment to study."
When Wang Xiumin heard this, she agreed that he was right, but she felt it was too early and that buying a house now was not appropriate.
But Xu Xiangyang had already made his decision and given the money, so what else could be said?
After watching Xu Xiangyang go inside to sleep, she returned to her room and told everyone about Xu Xiangyang's decision to buy a house.
“A house is a legitimate thing, and facing the sun is the right thing to do.” Wang Zhongshan did not object.
As the number of people in the family increases, if Xu Xiangyang's wife doesn't want everyone to live together in the future, they can move to the house across the street.
This is a good thing, since the two children will get married in the future, and they will need a house then. They can't all live in the same house.
Hearing that Wang Zhongshan had given his support, they said nothing more and agreed.
Wang Xiumin felt bad about the money and turned to Xu Guangtian, saying, "You have to work hard to earn money in the future. We've already spent the money for the children's future wife."
Although two hundred yuan won't be enough to buy a wife, it can still cover a lot of things.
Let alone two hundred yuan, even one hundred yuan would be painful for her.
Moreover, she felt that buying a house now was unnecessary; the important thing was to focus on Xu Xiangyang's marriage, as the child would still be several years away from growing up.
Xu Guangtian was caught in the crossfire, saying, "I go to work every day, and I give you all my salary."
That's all he's capable of right now. Thirty-odd yuan a month is quite a lot; some people in the city don't even earn that much.
Some people earn a few dollars a month, and many earn more than ten dollars.
If Xu Xiangyang hadn't found him this job, he might still be in a hurry, doing odd jobs every day to earn money, like everyone else, earning only a few yuan a month.
Wang Xiumin sighed. Of course she knew, but there was nothing she could do. With the child here, the elderly couple certainly couldn't take care of him; otherwise, she would have liked to go back to work.
The more people earn money, the more income there is.
Unfortunately, now is not the time to think about making money. Let's focus on raising these two kids first.
