"Aunt Fang, we've already contacted a design company. Once the design is ready, we'll tear down the old house and rebuild it. I estimate you'll be able to move into the new house next Chinese New Year." Ye Qingqing raised her voice, making sure everyone in the room could hear her.
Lu Mo's eyes were smiling; this girl was up to her tricks again.
Before Lin Shufang could react, Yang Jinfeng exclaimed, "You want to rebuild the old house? You don't even live here anymore, why do you want to rebuild it? It's such a waste of money."
That's her house.
Lin Shufang explained with a smile, "Amo and Qingqing have a lot of friends, and they said they wanted to build a Western-style house here so that their friends could come and visit. Anyway, it's just sitting empty, so let them do it for fun!"
“Your friend is only staying for a few days. It’s not worth spending so much money to build a house for just a few days. You’d be better off buying a house in Pingjiang with that money!” Yang Jinfeng tried her best to persuade her.
“Building a house only costs a little money, my brother doesn’t need that.” Ye Qingqing deliberately showed off.
Yang Jinfeng was speechless and muttered, "Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this..."
Actually, she wanted to say that selling the house to her would be a good idea, but since Lu Mo and Ye Qingqing were both there, Yang Jinfeng knew that neither of them were easy to deal with, so she didn't dare to bring it up.
Ye Qingqing heard everything clearly and couldn't help but sneer. "Quite nosy," she thought. She then added, "Aunt Fang, you're going back tomorrow. You have to get up early. Why don't you go back and get some sleep?"
Yang Jinfeng's expression changed again. "Why didn't you stay a few more days? You're coming back after only two days... It's not easy for you to come all this way."
"I'll definitely come often once the new house is built. Jin Feng, Bao Sheng, we're going back now." Lin Shufang had long since given up on staying, and borrowing Ye Qingqing's words, she took her leave.
Seeing Yang Jinfeng's unwilling look, Ye Qingqing chuckled to herself and said, "Auntie, house prices are rising very fast. You should pay the down payment as soon as possible. After the New Year, the price might rise to 100,000."
"Don't talk nonsense, kid. Who would buy such an expensive house? I bet the price will drop. Maybe it'll only cost 70,000 during the Chinese New Year." Yang Jinfeng didn't believe it at all; she was waiting for the price to drop.
She knew there was no hope for the old house; that brat Ye Qingqing had blocked both her options. She couldn't just rob it outright; even if she did, it wouldn't matter, as she wouldn't feel at ease living there without a property certificate.
Yang Jinfeng felt a sharp pain in her heart, realizing that she had no choice but to buy a commercial apartment. She had saved up most of her life's money, and now it was all gone to the real estate developer. She could only afford the down payment, and she would have to pay off the loan for more than ten years. Just thinking about the tens of thousands of yuan in debt made her afraid to even eat pickled vegetables.
The plump aunt agreed with Ye Qingqing's point of view, saying, "It's better for you to buy it sooner rather than later. I've heard many people say that the price will go up, and there could be a difference of 10,000 before or after the New Year."
Yang Jinfeng was in a bad mood and gave a sullen reply. She didn't believe that those houses were ridiculously expensive and only a fool would buy them. She was just waiting for the prices to drop after the New Year.
Ye Qingqing could tell that Yang Jinfeng had given up on the old house, so she stopped talking. As for whether Yang Jinfeng bought a new house or not, it had nothing to do with her. She could buy it or not, but the price increase was real. Housing prices in China were rising much faster than GDP.
The plump aunt winked at her daughter, and the mother and daughter got up to see Ye Qingqing and the others off, exchanging many polite words. The plump girl even warmly held Ye Qingqing's hand, saying that she would visit her in Pingjiang in the future.
Ye Qingqing was not used to this sudden enthusiasm, especially from a stranger. She forced herself to endure the discomfort and managed to say a few words, but the fat girl's pulse surprised her.
