Chapter 208: Buying Houses in Twos
The brothers were all very surprised.
Xu Hongqi looked at his cousin and couldn't help but sigh, "Cousin, you are so thoughtful. How much does the house cost to rent?"
Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan looked at each other and said, "That house is not rented, I bought it."
The brothers were all surprised when they heard this, except Huo Nanxi, who looked at his sister-in-law with an even more attached gaze.
"That won't do. We can rent a house of our own. How can we live in your house?" Xu Hongqi was also a little troubled. Why did her cousin say whatever she wanted? If her mother-in-law heard it, she would definitely be unhappy.
"Actually, you're not living here for free. There's something wrong with my house, so you have to help me look after it." Chen Jintao told them everything she had heard when she bought the house.
When Xu Hongqi and his friends heard this, they became excited. "It's nothing. We brothers are not pushovers. We can definitely guard the yard for you. But, we can't live in the house for free."
All the brothers thought so, and even the cousin-in-law Hu Weidong quickly nodded in agreement, indicating that they could not take advantage of this.
Liu Guifen felt even more satisfied as she listened to it. She didn't care about those trivial matters. After all, the Xu family was also her in-laws. But the brothers were such good people, and the old lady felt comforted.
"Alright, alright, it's not easy for you brothers to come all the way here. I am also a friend of your mother, and you are also my Taozi's cousin. My Taozi has said that she doesn't want money anymore, so why are you being so timid? You don't act like men at all!"
After Liu Guifen spoke, the others didn't know what to say. In the end, they had no choice but to agree. However, in their hearts, they told themselves that they must help their cousin with the work and must not make things difficult for her.
They have also helped people build houses in their hometown, and have seen people hiring their own relatives. In fact, this is the worst. After all, if their relatives don't do a good job, it will be a big problem. It will be very difficult to decide whether to let them go or not.
If they were the type to be sneaky and cunning, my cousin would definitely be in a very difficult situation.
Everyone was very happy during the meal, especially now that the eldest and second babies are a little older, they can talk more and are more entertaining.
Erbao is a lively person who can chat with anyone. She quickly became familiar with her aunt Huo Nanxi. She kept talking and telling people she got along well with and who she didn't in the Yuhong class. The little girl is smart and has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. She looks down on those naughty kids, but is eager to open her heart to the ones she likes.
Huo Nanxi found it very interesting and actually started chatting with the two babies, one big and one small, which was a bit funny and a bit heartwarming.
Dabao had a stern face and looked just like his father. He was so funny that he answered whatever people asked him, which made people laugh.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was getting late, so it was natural to arrange accommodation for Xu Hongqi and the others. As for Huo Nanxi, as she was a girl, she would definitely have to live at home.
Huo Beichuan was worried about his wife being alone, so he quickly followed her.
Liu Guifen and Huo Nanxi, mother and daughter, work very well together, with one taking care of the baby while the other cleans up the dishes.
Liu Guifen was also very pleased. Her daughter was not sensible before, but now she seems really different.
Huo Beichuan and Shen Jintao led their people through two streets and arrived at the small courtyard they bought.
The small courtyard had been cleaned up long ago, with beddings and furniture placed inside. Although it was not new, it was already very good for the young men in the Xu family. It was at least much better than the houses they lived in the countryside. The key was that it was still very spacious, and it was enough even if the brothers each had their own room.
However, they would not really have their own room, as that would cause them to have no use for their bedding. They did not bring these with them this time as they did not know where they would live. They thought they would wait until they found a place to live before deciding. Unexpectedly, their cousin had already made all the arrangements.
Of course, the moment they saw this yard, they also had a new understanding of the financial resources of their cousin.
The previous house looked very impressive, and how rich must one be to be able to buy a yard like this?
If they could buy a house here, they would probably be very happy, but people are different. They buy houses in pairs. The key is that they don’t live here themselves!
"Cousins, cousin-in-law, Hongping! Bedding has been prepared in the room, but because I was not sure of your exact arrival time, I did not lay it out. You can just take it out from the cupboard and lay it out. Also, check if there is anything missing. If there is, go to the store to buy it tomorrow." Chen Jintao said hurriedly when she saw that they were still wandering around the yard.
She was laughing in her heart. With such a small courtyard, they could visit the Grand View Garden just like Granny Liu did. She also wanted to go to Beijing to buy a courtyard house in the future. Although we don't know when this goal can be achieved, Chen Jintao does have this idea in her mind.
She might not settle down in big cities like Beijing or Hai City. After all, her husband's job is here, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will settle here for many years to come. But that doesn't mean she can't buy a house in these two big cities. You know, the housing prices in these two places are notoriously expensive in the future. Of course, she should take advantage of the low prices now and buy more.
"Okay, thank you for your help!" As the eldest brother, Xu Hongqi naturally expressed his gratitude.
"It's okay. There's no need to be polite with brothers and sisters. It's getting late today. You must be tired after taking the train. Just go to bed early. Do you remember the way to my place? Can you go there by yourself tomorrow? If not, I'll ask Beichuan to pick you up tomorrow."
These people were called here by herself, so of course Chen Jintao was responsible for settling them down.
"Remember it, remember it. It's easy to find. It's just a matter of crossing two streets. Don't worry, we will go there by ourselves tomorrow."
"Okay, then you can just come over and have breakfast. We haven't started the fire yet, so it's definitely not that convenient."
Xu Hongqi wanted to say that they could just eat something outside, but Chen Jintao took Huo Beichuan and turned away, so there was nothing he could do.
