By noon, the entire Su family knew about the house purchase.
And it was a house of such a large size, 95 square meters! Liu Mei and Su Lin's eyes welled up with tears of excitement.
The apartment we live in now is less than 20 square meters. Ninety square meters, that's huge! Almost five large rooms! Ah, they really do have their own rooms now!
Su Yu looked at Su Dazhi and Liu Mei seriously again, "Although I advocate not separating the family, I'll ask you again now, do you want to separate and fend for yourselves, or do you want to live together as a large family and take care of each other?"
"Sister, I absolutely refuse to separate from the family," Su Dazhi said. He felt that living with his sister was perfectly fine; he had food, drink, and a place to call home, so why would he want to separate?
Liu Mei weighed the options for a moment, and a thought flashed through her mind, but after thinking about her work, she dismissed the idea.
Life is definitely better with my older sister...
"Okay, it's settled then. Don't show any dissatisfaction in the future. What I need is for the whole family to be united. Anyone who tries to create division is our enemy."
"Sister, we'll listen to you." Su Zhigao said happily.
“Yes, we’ll listen to our sister,” the others echoed.
Su Yu continued, "Everyone contributed to this house except Lin. So Lin, after you start working, you must give half of your salary to your family to pay off debts. Otherwise, after you get married, your room will be given to someone else."
Su Yu didn't believe that women shouldn't contribute to the family... cough cough, she herself contributed a lot too; mental work is also very energy-consuming. Thinking back to the highly qualified management talent she'd hired before, their annual salaries were comparable to hers as the CEO.
Su Lin said guiltily, "Sister, I'll listen to you." Right now, she's the only one in the whole house who's eating and drinking for free.
Su Yu is very satisfied with the 'unity' of her family.
The saying "unity is strength" is quite true.
If it weren't for everyone's combined efforts, how would she have bought this house? After buying it, she would still have to pay off the debt herself, and she would have had to live frugally. Life would have been unbearable.
"Alright, from this day forward, our Su family will rise up! Our family will definitely live better and better in the future, and we'll strive to live in a Western-style house!"
Meanwhile, the families of other textile factory workers were also in turmoil. Almost every household was calculating their entire fortune, wanting to empty their pockets.
Don't be fooled by the high wages these days. Truly dual-income families are rare. Many families have elderly parents to support and children to raise, with several children in total. These children have no income, yet they still need food, clothes, and school supplies every month. Money can flow like water. Being able to save a third of their salary each month is considered a stroke of luck.
So, although the amounts lent to the factory this time weren't large, there were very few families who could afford to lend the money without any financial pressure. Basically, every household had to tighten their belts.
But everyone felt it was worth it. A house—that's everyone's dream. To be able to live in a comfortable house, instead of the whole family crammed into such a cramped space, makes it all worthwhile to eat less for the next few years. Tighten your belt for a few years, and things will get better later.
Some workers who had no money gritted their teeth and said, "We'll borrow money, we'll go out and borrow money to get it done."
When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, many workers rushed to the union office with their money.
The factory's accountants have all moved to the union office, and it's bustling with people even before work has started.
Committee members Hu and Zhang were laughing so hard their teeth were practically invisible.
Su Yu also quickly came with her money to register. She immediately booked a 95-square-meter apartment. Of course, the apartment wasn't built to such a high standard. After all, not every family buys a 95-square-meter apartment, so the company would design different apartment types and sizes based on the final demand, with adjustments made later. Perhaps in the end, the workers would even owe the factory money.
However, Su Yu wasn't in a hurry for now. She wanted to pay the money first, and if the house was completed later and additional payments were needed, she would have the funds.
"Sister Su Yu, thank you so much."
Yan Fang pulled Su Yu aside and whispered to her outside, her face beaming with excitement.
She has a quota and can be allocated a 30-square-meter apartment.
“As you said, I started saving money in advance. It wasn’t enough to begin with, but my boyfriend brought some more. Once we get the 30-square-meter apartment, we’ll get married.”
Thirty square meters! That's so spacious.
Yan Fang felt like she was dreaming.
Su Yu said, "Fang, now that the housing issue and your marriage are settled, it's time to start working hard. When you have free time, share your work with Committee Member Zhang. Now that there are new people in the factory, you should also try your best to get promoted."
Yan Fang was a little unsure of herself. "Can I do it?"
Su Yu said firmly, "It has to work! Set a goal for yourself, like becoming a union committee member or something. Then move towards that goal. Comrade Fang, I believe in you."
Yan Fang swallowed hard. She had everything she needed now. If she could get a promotion or something, she would feel like she had unknowingly reached some great height.
As more and more people participated in the housing construction loans, the factory's funds became increasingly abundant. Chairman Sun then contacted a construction team from the provincial capital to conduct a land survey.
At that time, all land was approved by the state, and there were no so-called land costs. The textile factory was located in the city center, where there was simply no suitable land. So they chose a spacious piece of land on the outskirts of the city.
Once the land was chosen, a large number of factory workers went to see it after get off work, pointing and planning how they would get to work and how they would buy groceries. They even wondered where their own houses might be located.
