His wife Ma Chunhua was a little hesitant: "Dad, we don't even have a thousand dollars here, how can we buy it?"
She heard everything Hao Fenqiang was talking to An You while he was lying on the wall. The other person asked for five thousand to sell the house. How could eight hundred be enough?
They are not related to each other, so no one would be willing to write him an IOU for more than 4,000 yuan, right?
The children at home were doing their homework, but when they heard the money, they pricked up their ears and looked at Hao Fenqiang, giving him some manly confidence.
Hao Fenqiang's confidence grew when he thought of the delicate and frail appearance of the pregnant woman. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "What do you know? Just wait for my good news at home."
He has plenty of ways to get Xiang Lidang to vacate the house. Who says this money is not enough?
Seeing his wife honestly handing over all her belongings worth over 800 yuan, he immediately turned gloomy and snatched it away. He took out most of it, counted out 600 yuan, and put the remaining 200 yuan in his trouser pocket:
"I told you you're stupid, but you still don't believe me! I gave her all the 800-plus dollars, and now we're starving!!"
Women have long hair but short knowledge. They are always hesitant. Even the opportunity to make a fortune makes them hesitate and they must grab it!
This is a house that is ten times bigger. Thinking that I can live in one and rent out dozens of them, life will be so wonderful.
Ma Chunhua felt uncomfortable when she saw her husband taking all his belongings to the Xiang family.
Hao Fenqiang didn't care and strode into Xiang Lidang's yard.
When I passed by and saw the baskets of dried vegetables drying in the yard, I became more and more certain that the son of the Xiang family didn't have much money.
He was visibly excited, and as soon as he entered the room he shouted, "Sister An, I've got the money for you. Where's Brother Xiang? Let's have a good chat!"
An You was coaxing her son to eat, and she was so scared by his loud voice that she almost dropped the spoon.
She put down the bowl in a bad mood, let her son eat with a spoon, and stood up holding her stomach: "You haven't come back from overtime yet, you can tell me if you have anything."
Generally speaking, Xiang Lidang is in charge of her family affairs, and An You doesn't want to worry too much.
But An You has seen a lot of the world since she was a child following An Zhenbang. She can handle the big things at home on her own, but she is just too lazy to put in the effort.
I have been spoiled by my family since I was a child. Why should I take the thankless task of facing the wind and rain? Isn’t it better to hide under the wings of others?
Hao Fenqiang didn't really want to talk to women about things. They were too effeminate. They were arguing over a little money. When he looked around and didn't see anyone from Xiang Lidang, he said reluctantly:
"Sister An, I want to discuss something with you. We both work at the coal mine, and your sister-in-law and I can't run away. Why don't you use our salaries to buy a house?"
An You was overwhelmed by what he heard. He frowned and said pointedly, "How much more do you need?"
It is quite normal among colleagues in the factory to pay off debts with wages. After all, there is a job, so there is no need to worry about people running away.
If the shortfall is just over a hundred, the couple can pay it back in two months of work. If the shortfall is just three or five hundred, it will take more than half a year to pay it back.
In short, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. If all else fails, you can use your job as compensation.
She knew that it was indeed difficult to ask someone to come up with 5,000 yuan at once, but if she wanted to buy a house, she had to have the money in hand. If she didn't make things difficult for others, she would make things difficult for herself.
Hao Fenqiang laughed awkwardly: "Don't worry, sister, listen to me, we are short of 4,400, but..."
He deliberately shook the money in his hand, making a snapping sound, and assured An You:
"I can write you an IOU for the remaining money. Not only your brother and sister-in-law work in my family, but I also have two sisters and a younger brother. They can all pay back the debt!"
There are five people. Even if each person can save twenty dollars a month to pay off the debt, the total amount is only one hundred dollars a month.
It will take 44 months, or nearly four years, to pay off the 4,400.
After quickly calculating the account in his mind, An You had nothing to say. He took a deep breath and said, "Impossible. Otherwise, all five of you should give up your jobs and the 4,400 will be written off."
Her husband's family has no shortage of jobs since her youngest sister Mianmian went to school to be a teacher and the eldest grandchild Xiang Youfeng is only eight years old.
However, the older nephews born to my brother on my mother's side are almost at the age of sixteen and going to the countryside. My sisters-in-law would be very happy to be able to provide them with formal jobs.
If it really doesn't work out, An Zhenbang always has younger brothers under him who need stable jobs to make a living, so he can sell it to them. It's not a loss to buy five jobs for 4,400.
To be honest, Hao Fenqiang had no intention of paying back the money. He just wanted to cheat the house first and become a deadbeat in the future:
"That's not going to work! Girl, don't joke with me. Where can you find a job for just over 800 yuan? I'll sign an IOU and pay you 80 yuan every month. Is that okay?"
Promise it now!
In this way, the job is his, the Xiang family house is his, and when the house is demolished in the future, it will be ten times his size!
