Chapter 12 Grandpa is too mean
Lu Xiangyang: "Buying a house? You have to pay money to buy a house, right?"
Jiang Jianni: "..."
Jiang Jianni smiled at Li Xia, pulled Lu Xiangyang a few steps to the side, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Didn't we agree to buy a house with a zero down payment loan?"
Lu Xiangyang also said in a low voice, "But if we take out a loan, we'll have to make loan repayments every month."
He said, "I did the math. If I really took out a loan and paid it off in twenty or thirty years, the interest and principal would be about the same, with only a difference of two or three thousand."
"We're not short of money, why waste it?"
Jiang Jiani took a deep breath.
I wanted to tell him that he thinks he's making over thirty a month now, but in less than ten years, in four or five years, thirty will only be the price of a pair of shoes.
However, now is not the time to argue.
Li Xia was watching anxiously from the sidelines, worried that they might not buy the house.
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be willing to suffer a loss?"
Lu Xiangyang shook his head subconsciously: "No."
He recounted every moment he had spent with Jiang Jiani since they met. They had encountered quite a few things, but she had never been one to suffer a loss.
Jiang Jianni smiled and asked in return, "That's right. If someone says one bad thing about me, I'll say three things back."
"This house costs over ten thousand yuan. Do you think I'm willing to suffer such a huge loss?"
Lu Xiangyang: "..."
He hesitated for a moment: "Then, then I'll listen to you?"
Jiang Jianni nodded vigorously: "Listen to me."
"Besides, we're both working. I've only been working for a year and don't have much savings."
I don't know if your savings are enough to buy a house, but if you do buy a house, they definitely won't be enough to renovate it.
"We can't just put all our money into buying a house and then end up living in an unfinished one, can we?"
"Or should we ask our parents for money later?"
"Can you open your mouth? I certainly can't."
Who doesn't have some self-respect?
Jiang Jianni, a young woman, is ambitious and relies on herself. Lu Xiangyang felt that he, as a man, couldn't be inferior to a young woman.
Besides, it's only about thirty yuan a month, which is really not a lot of money.
He's just not used to carrying debt all the time.
The young couple agreed that Li Xia would lead the way.
Li Xia, who had been anxiously watching the situation, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Sister, if you really want to buy, I'll talk to our manager and see if we can give you a discount."
Jiang Jianni laughed: "Really?"
The little girl nodded vigorously: "Really, it's true, I promise I'm not lying to you."
Sure enough, the manager eventually gave him a 5% discount.
Jiang Jianni was pleasantly surprised, but also realized that houses are really hard to sell now, otherwise the discount wouldn't be so low.
After signing the purchase contract, I went to the bank to sign the loan contract, and it was already evening.
The two ate on the street, and Jiang Jianni gave Lu Xiangyang four gold coins.
Lu Xiangyang refused to take it: "Why would I give it to you? Your mother gave it to you, so just take it."
Jiang Jianni shook her head: "I'm just afraid of losing it."
“You know my family situation. My sister and I share a room, and other people always come into the room without permission.”
She touched the priceless brocade box with reluctance: "If this thing were in my room, it would have been taken by someone before our wedding."
She rolled her eyes at Lu Xiangyang and said, "Besides, I'm just asking you to keep it for me. You'll have to give it back to me after we get married."
Lu Xiangyang deliberately asked, "You've already given it to me, do you still want it back?"
Jiang Jianni tilted her head and looked at him: "How about I talk to our mom about it later? Just say you want a share too?"
Lu Xiangyang couldn't help but chuckle and flicked her hair: "Please don't, I'm afraid Mom will break my legs."
Jiang Jianni couldn't help but laugh when she thought of how the Lu family elders had told her that the day a pie fell from the sky, and how they had stood up for her if Lu Xiangyang had wronged her.
Although she doesn't know how much of it will actually come true in the future, at least the other person's attitude makes her feel comfortable right now.
The two chatted and laughed, and even bought some roasted sweet potatoes on the way. Lu Xiangyang didn't turn around and leave until Jiang Jiani went upstairs.
As a result, Jiang Jianni started having a headache again after entering the house: "Grandma, why are you here?"
Grandma Jiang sat on the sofa, looking unhappy. She slammed her cane on the ground and said, "What? Can't I come? Why can't I come to my son's house?"
Yang Yuemei quickly gave Jiang Jiani a meaningful look, signaling her to calm down: "Jiani, what are you holding in your hand?"
Jiang Jianni didn't want to pay attention to this biased grandmother, and said with a smile, "I bought some roasted sweet potatoes. Where are Haiyang and Yanni? Haven't they come back yet?"
Jiang Yanni immediately poked her head out of the house: "Sister, I'm doing my homework."
...You don't look like you're doing your homework.
Jiang Yanni exclaimed in surprise when she saw the roasted sweet potato in Jiang Jiani's hand: "Wow, roasted sweet potato!"
He then took two from her hand, saying, "I'll give one to Third Brother."
After saying that, he took the roasted sweet potato and went into Jiang Haiyang and Jiang Haibing's house.
Grandma Jiang sneered, "One after another, they're all so ill-mannered. Yang Yuemei, is this how you raise your children?"
"I remember they were quite obedient when they were little, how come they don't even know basic manners now?"
Ignoring Yang Yuemei's embarrassed expression, she said directly, "I told you long ago that girls need to be properly taught. Look at them, what have they all become?"
Jiang Jianni, unable to bear it any longer, asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you tell me in detail, Grandma?"
Yang Yuemei was terrified when she heard Jiang Jiani speak, and quickly said, "Jiani, you just got back and your face is covered in dust. Why don't you go wash your face?"
Jiang Jianni put the remaining roasted sweet potatoes on the table, sat down next to Grandma Jiang, and said with a smile:
"Mom, don't worry."
"Anyway, I'm going to take a shower later, so I'll just take one at a time."
Grandma Jiang snorted, "Taking a bath? I don't know if you learned anything else after going to university, but you certainly learned to be fussy."
Jiang Jianni was immediately shocked: "Ah, Grandma, don't you take a bath all year round?"
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Grandma Jiang, sniffed, fanned the air with her hand, and quickly covered her nose, looking incredulous: "It really is the stench of someone who hasn't bathed for years."
She looked at Grandma Jiang with pity: "Grandma, you're so pitiful. You've never even taken a bath. Don't you get itchy? I get unbearably itchy all over if I don't bathe for three days."
"You've never showered in your entire life and you can actually tolerate it!"
"You're so amazing, Grandma!"
She approached Grandma Jiang with an air of self-sacrifice and forbearance:
"Is it because my grandpa thinks you're wasting too much hot water on baths that he won't let you take them?"
"Grandpa, really! I remember when I was little, I often saw Grandpa taking a shower in the yard. How could he not let you take a bath?"
"But Grandma, you are my own grandma, I will never look down on you."
"I'll go back with you when you go back, and I'll definitely have a good talk with Grandpa."
"It's one thing for him not to shower, but how can he not let you shower? That's so mean!"
