Chapter 194 Elderly Care Issues
After lunch, Jiang Xianli didn't expect that Jiang Xianhui and her husband came with their children and Jiang Xianyang.
As soon as Jiang Xianhui entered the room, she glanced at Jiang Xianli and said, "I know you don't like me. We are staying in a hotel, and my sister-in-law asked us to come and discuss the issue of my mother's retirement."
Although Jiang Xianli felt annoyed with Jiang Xianhui, she had no objection to Zhou Kunhao and their child Zhou Dong.
He quickly asked Zhou Kunhao to sit down and brought some snacks to Zhou Dong.
Not long after, Xie Jingcheng also came back from the company.
Ding Yuanyuan said, "Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the issue of supporting our parents in their old age. As for living expenses, they both have pensions, so we don't have to worry about it. The old house in our family was also divided up a long time ago, but now we have to buy a new house in Kyoto, so this matter has to be rearranged.
Xianming and I bought our own house, but as for Mom's house, I thought she would take out some of her savings, and the rest would be contributed by each of our five families. Although Yangyang is young, he got his share of the relocation money, so he should also contribute a little. When my parents pass away, the house they lived in will be sold and divided equally among the five of us. "
Jiang Xianhong's family is the eldest, Wu Peng first expressed his opinion, "We have no objection."
Then Xie Jingcheng said, "We agree too."
Zhou Kunhao: "I agree."
Jiang Xianyang said, "I don't want my relocation money. Give it all to my parents to buy a house. Buy a bigger one and leave one for me. When I graduate, I will earn money and buy one for myself."
Zhao Xiumei immediately said, "No, you have just graduated and you don't even know how your job will turn out. Your portion of the demolition compensation cannot be touched. If you want to use it, then the house your father and I buy will have to be in your name, and it will all be yours in the future. But this is not fair to your brother. I think your sister-in-law's suggestion is a good one."
I've inquired around, and the housing prices in ordinary communities in Kyoto are around 2,500. Your father and I would need about 100,000 to buy a 40-square-meter one-bedroom apartment.
We will take out 50,000 from our savings, so that we can have several tens of thousands left for retirement. For the remaining 50,000, each of you five sisters and brothers can contribute 10,000. After we die, the house will be divided equally among the five of you.
Jiang Xianyang nodded, "Okay then."
He also knew that the discord in their family before was mainly due to unequal distribution, but it was good now.
After the discussion, Xie Jingcheng and Jiang Xianli brought them to a community called "Qingzhu Garden".
Xie Jingcheng said, "This community was developed by me and my friends. The quality and environment are very good. Parents, brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, if you like it, I will give you a 20% discount."
Zhao Xiumei smiled and said, "That's fine."
This community has ready-made houses. Several people took a tour inside and were very satisfied with the community because it not only has many green plants, but also has rockery, small bridges and flowing water.
Ding Yuanyuan said, "Second brother-in-law, this community is expensive, right? More than 2,500 per square meter, right?"
"The original price is 3,000 per square meter. If I give you a 20% discount, isn't it close to your budget?"
Ding Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, yes."
Then everyone started looking for houses, but in fact most of them were sold out and there weren’t many to choose from.
Originally, Zhao Xiumei wanted to buy a one-bedroom apartment, but in the end Xie Jingcheng and Zhou Kunhao each gave her an extra 30,000.
So she bought a two-bedroom house on the first floor with an area of 65 square meters. There was no public stall in the house, so 65 square meters was quite large. The living room and dining room were also large, with a big round table where the whole family could sit together when they got together.
The most important thing is that there is a free yard on the first floor, which is more than 20 square meters, where you can grow some vegetables, dry your quilts, etc.
This layout is similar to the old house she used to live in, so she won't feel uncomfortable with it.
Although Ding Yuanyuan and Jiang Xianming only have one child, they considered that Ding Yuanyuan's parents might come to visit as relatives in the future.
I bought a three-bedroom apartment of 72 square meters for a total price of more than 17.
They shared 120,000 yuan of the relocation compensation. In the past few years, Ding Yuanyuan also earned 20,000 to 30,000 yuan from running a stationery store. In addition, both parents and two sisters-in-law would give her some money, which she saved. So all in all, she had enough.
Jiang Xianhong and Wu Peng also bought a three-bedroom apartment, but theirs was 90 square meters in size, with a kitchen and two bathrooms.
In addition, Wu Peng bought a 40-square-meter one-bedroom and one-living room apartment on the first floor for his father. His father is retired and goes to bed early and gets up early every day, which has a different schedule from theirs, so everyone feels relaxed and comfortable living separately.
Jiang Xianhong asked Jiang Xianhui, "Xiaohui, are you buying here?"
Jiang Xianhui said, "I think the villa area next door is good. I plan to buy one there."
Ding Yuanyuan smiled and said, "That's great. This way we don't live far from each other. Let's go with you and have a look. We can also learn a lot."
"good."
So, everyone came to the "Fengya Garden" next door.
The general manager of the sales department knew Xie Jingcheng and said he could give him a 5% discount.
At 5,300 per square meter, Jiang Xianhui chose a two-story villa of 400 square meters with a 200-square-meter yard.
A total of 2,014,000 yuan.
It was already evening when they finished buying the house. As they were coming out of the sales office, a woman in a white suit happened to come out from the other side of the sales office.
She exclaimed, "Jiang Xianyang!"
Maybe other people in the Jiang family don’t know her, but Jiang Xianyang, Jiang Xianli and Xie Jingcheng do.
It turned out to be Xia Wei.
But now she is completely different from before.
In the past, she was weak, gentle and quiet.
Now she looks like a strong woman, confident, generous and bright.
Jiang Xianyang was stunned for a moment, "Weiwei?"
"Long time no see, are you here to buy a house too?"
"My third sister bought it. I'm still studying."
Xia Wei smiled and said, "It's not easy to meet here, can I treat you to a meal?"
"good."
After the two left, Zhao Xiumei quickly asked Jiang Xianli, "Lili, who is that woman? Do you know her?"
Jiang Xianli only said, "He was Yangyang's former high school classmate."
"oh……"
"It's getting dark soon. Let's go back and have dinner. You should go to bed early. We need to find someone to renovate the house tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go."
Ding Yuanyuan said, "Lili, it will take at least one or two months to renovate the house. It will take another month to get rid of the smell. We can't keep disturbing you with so many people. We will rent a house tomorrow. A two-bedroom house will be enough for us and our parents."
Before Jiang Xianli could say anything, Xie Jingcheng said, "No need to rent. With so many of us living together, it's bound to be inconvenient after a long time. But the villa next door to my house is also ours. Sister-in-law, you can live there first. It's empty anyway."
Zhao Xiumei looked at Jiang Xianli and asked, "Well, is this possible?"
Jiang Xianli said, "Okay, you, my eldest sister, and my eldest brother-in-law, stay here for the time being."
However, she and her parents have always been as close as other children and their parents.
But she owns two streets and a thousand-square-meter villa that is empty for 10 months out of the 12 months a year. There is no reason for her parents, brothers, sisters and their families to rent a house outside.
Zhao Xiumei was originally very nervous, fearing that her second daughter would embarrass her again.
Unexpectedly, she agreed without hesitation.
She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my daughter is filial and obedient."
…
Jiang Xianyang and Xia Wei came to a western restaurant.
Xia Wei ordered the food expertly and said with a smile, "The steak and foie gras here are especially delicious. Eat more later."
"good."
Seeing Jiang Xianyang's tense look, Xia Wei couldn't help but ask, "Are you not very happy to see me?"
"No." Jiang Xianyang looked at her, "How have you been these years?"
"Well, it's pretty good. The first one or two years when I came here to work were really hard. Later, I opened my own detergent trading company. Now, although I don't say that I make a lot of money, I still make millions a year. I'm still so young, and I'm very satisfied with this achievement."
Jiang Xianyang lowered his head, "If I hadn't fallen in love with you, you wouldn't have dropped out of school, and you would definitely have been admitted to a good university, and you would definitely be better than you are now."
Xia Wei showed a brilliant smile, "Silly boy, you are still as kind as before. What does it have to do with you that I didn't take the college entrance examination? Have you forgotten that I was the one who pursued you when you were in school? Besides, it was my mother who forced us to separate. It's good enough that you don't blame me. Why are you still feeling guilty?"
"I……"
Without waiting for Jiang Xianyang to speak, Xia Wei continued, "My mother was possessed. She thought that I would not listen to her after entering high school. If I passed the college entrance examination and went to another place, I would be completely out of her control. She wanted me to marry a rich man as soon as possible. I couldn't stand her control, so I ran away from home and came to Kyoto to work. Really, all this has nothing to do with you. I have never regretted having a relationship with you. That was the best time of my youth.
Besides, I am not only a female boss now, but I am also attending adult college. I am very satisfied with my life, really."
Jiang Xianyang finally smiled, "Seeing that you are doing so well, I can finally rest assured."
"What about you? How have you been these past few years? You don't have a new girlfriend."
"No, my priority now is my studies, and I also want to study abroad in the future."
Xia Wei nodded, "Well, your consideration is wise. Foreign technology is very advanced now, and our country's economy is also developing rapidly. It is the general trend to introduce foreign high technology and use it for our own benefit."
"Yes."
…
The next day, Zhao Xiumei and her family went out to decorate the house and find a kindergarten for their child.
Jiang Kele and Wu Zhiyao played at Jiang Xianli's house.
Wu Zhiyao was two years old and Jiang Kele was almost four.
Wu Zhiyao is not noisy as long as he has food to eat, but Jiang Kele has more needs, he also needs something to play with.
The servant led them to catch fish by the fish pond for a while. Jiang Xianli was afraid that they would starve all the fish to death.
Then he said, "Lele, Yaoyao, can I take you to the mall to buy toys?"
Wu Zhiyao tied her hair into two small braids and jumped around cutely. "Okay, okay, Yaoyao wants a doll."
"OK!"
Jiang Kele said, "Second Aunt, I want a car and a plane."
"Okay, okay, I'll buy them all!"
Jiang Xianli couldn't take them both out alone, so she took two servants with her.
As soon as I got in the car, I saw Jiang Xianyang coming.
"Second sister, are you guys going out?"
Jiang Xianli smiled and said, "Yeah, why are you here?"
"Aren't they all busy at work? I was afraid you couldn't handle these two kids by yourself. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came over to take them here."
"Then get in the car. I'm taking them shopping for some clothes and toys."
"good."
After arriving at the mall, the two servants each led a child, Jiang Xianyang was responsible for carrying things, and Jiang Xianli only paid.
Each child bought two sets of clothes, two pairs of shoes, and two toys.
Tired of shopping, she bought some food for her two children, sat in the rest area of the mall, and watched people coming and going.
Suddenly, I saw two men and one woman not far away, leading a lot of shopping mall staff walking towards this side in a mighty manner. It seemed that they were inspecting the shopping mall.
She knew those three people: Gu Xiubai, the head of the Gu family, and the other two, his nephew Gu Tianrui and her niece Gu Tianqing.
In the past few years since she came to Kyoto, she had met Gu Xiubai and Gu Tianrui several times, and even beat Gu Tianrui twice.
As for Gu Tianqing, she had only seen him but had never spoken to him.
Only then did I remember that this shopping mall belonged to the Gu family.
Seeing Jiang Xianli, Gu Xiubai dismissed the staff and walked up to her.
"What a coincidence, Mrs. Xie is here to shop?"
Jiang Xianli stood up and said with a smile, "Well, I brought my nephew and niece to buy things."
Gu Xiubai handed her a blue card and said, "This VIP card is for you. With this card, you can get a 30% discount on all items."
Jiang Xianli said quickly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Gu, but I really have to accept it."
Previously, no other family in Kyoto could rival the Gu family's status, and Gu Xiubai was also unrivaled in the business world.
But in the past two years, they have come here, and the business community has spread the rumor that her husband Xie Jingcheng is a business genius. His Dihua Group has real estate, foreign trade, hotels, and entertainment...
The annual profit is almost the same as that of Gu Jiayingju Group.
Strictly speaking, her husband and Gu Xiubai are rivals, so how could she possibly collect Gu Xiubai's things?
Although Gu Xiubai's face showed no emotion, his hand holding the card paused for a moment, and a barely perceptible sadness flashed in his eyes.
Before he could say anything, Gu Tianrui said in a gloomy tone, "Fourth Uncle, you are really something. She is Xie Jingcheng's wife. Xie Jingcheng's status in the Kyoto business circle will soon surpass yours. How could she be interested in a mere VIP card like yours?"
Jiang Xianli rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, "You didn't get beaten lightly? What does it have to do with you whether I look down on you or not? What, I don't want to take advantage of you guys? You are so generous, why don't you give a VIP card to everyone in the country?"
"Humph!" Gu Tianrui sneered, his eyes sneer, "You haven't changed in all these years. You always don't know what's good for you."
Just as Jiang Xianli was about to speak, Jiang Xianyang stood in front of her and glared at Gu Tianrui, "We were sitting here peacefully, I didn't bother you, if you speak rudely to my second sister again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
With Gu Xiubai around, Gu Tianrui didn't dare to act too presumptuous.
But he was the eldest grandson of the Gu family, and he would not allow himself to be threatened.
"I'm talking to you, Jiang Xianli. What does a young boy like you have to do with me? Get out of here!"
"Gu Tianrui!" Gu Xiubai scolded coldly, "You are the one who made trouble unreasonably and said bad things. Apologize to them!"
