When Fang Ruyun returned home, she couldn't help but immediately tell her mother about the encounter with Jiang Qingyue outside the yard just now.
"Mom, do you know who I just bumped into outside the compound? It was the girl I told you about before, the one Zhou Zhengting married in the countryside!"
Fang's mother was also surprised when she heard this. "Why did she suddenly come to our compound? Could it be that she came to visit Zhou's family?"
Fang Ruyun curled her lips, "Of course she is. She heard that Zhou Zhengting had returned to Beijing, so she came to the Zhou family eagerly, hoping that the Zhou family would accept her as a member of the family."
Fang's mother snorted, "I don't know what the Zhou family is thinking. I heard that Zhou Zhengting went to the army and didn't come back until this year. They haven't gotten divorced yet, and it's been dragging on like this."
Fang Ruyun snorted coldly, "That woman finally married to Beijing, how could she get divorced so easily? Besides, she even gave birth to two children when she was in the countryside. I guess she is planning to use these two trump cards to force the Zhou family to accept her!"
This was the first time Fang's mother had heard about the two children. She couldn't help but wonder, "Why haven't I heard you talk about such a big thing before? It doesn't look like the Zhou family knows about the two children."
Fang Ruyun felt a little guilty. She had deliberately concealed the matter of the child from her mother because she was worried that she would accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Now I think that my idea was absolutely correct.
If the Zhou family really knew about the existence of the two children, they might really agree to let Jiang Qingyue marry in.
"Oh, Zhou Zhengting must have deliberately concealed this from the old couple. Mom, can you help me keep an eye on the Zhou family for a while to see if there is any movement."
Fang's mother looked at her suspiciously and said angrily, "You are not still thinking about Zhou Zhengting, are you? I can tell you that even if he is divorced, he is still a divorced man with children. Don't even think about it!"
Fang Ruyun bit her lip and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't have any thoughts about him in that way anymore."
"I just simply don't like that woman Jiang Qingyue. You don't know that when she was in the countryside, she teamed up with other educated youth to isolate me."
Fang's mother nodded doubtfully, "Since you don't have any feelings for him in that regard, I'll arrange a blind date for you in a couple of days."
"As for the Zhou family matter you just mentioned, let me tell you the truth. Recently, she has been avoiding me whenever she sees me. I don't know how I have offended her!"
Fang Ruyun's breathing paused. Could it be that Zhou Zhengting said something to his family after returning to Beijing?
Thinking of Zhou Zhengting's previous threats to her, Fang Ruyun still felt a little guilty.
I didn’t dare to talk too much to my mother.
So that if something really happens at home, I won’t be blamed on myself.
Then he changed the subject in a roundabout way, "Mom, maybe you're overthinking it? But if we don't want to have any contact, then we don't have to! Anyway, you're retired now, so there's no need to curry favor with her!"
"By the way, Mom, how is my work arrangement going now?"
Seeing my daughter asking for work as soon as she opened her mouth.
As if arranging work is such an easy thing.
Fang's mother couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "How can it be so easy to arrange a job? Now that so many educated youths who went to the countryside have returned to the city, there are so many job vacancies in the city!"
Fang Ruyun pursed her lips and said, "I'm not picky anymore. Just don't let me work in the school cafeteria."
"What's wrong with the cafeteria? Isn't this a good job? Don't you know how many people are scrambling to get in when a seat is vacant in the cafeteria?"
"Mom, please, working in the cafeteria is tiring and dirty. It's too embarrassing for a girl like me to do this. How about arranging a less busy job for me in the library?"
Fang's mother had no choice but to temporarily agree, "Okay, I'll think of a way, but even if I go to the library, I'll start as an administrator's assistant."
"Thank you, Mom. I promise to work hard."
"Okay, if you have this determination, you might as well review your lessons more. The college entrance examination has been resumed twice. How come you can't even get into a bad university?"
Seeing her mother was so disgusted, Fang Ruyun hesitated for a long time and had to find an excuse that she was sleepy to go back to her room to sleep.
......
Ever since I found out that the Zhou family lives in the same compound.
Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Weidong started looking for houses without stopping.
But it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Living in such a good environment in the compound, I always feel that other houses are not good enough when I look at them.
The two of them didn't care.
Mainly because my two children are relatively young, we still want to find a quiet and safe place to live.
Wang Xiuhe doesn’t have any special hobbies. She just likes to go out to the park and take a walk.
It would be really inconvenient if you lived too far away.
In order to prevent Wang Xiuhe from having wild thoughts and becoming frightened, the Jiang siblings agreed not to tell her about the Zhou family living in the compound for the time being.
Everything will be fine if we move out quickly.
Seeing that she couldn't rent a suitable house, Jiang Qingyue started to plan to buy one.
After looking for houses over the past two days, Jiang Qingyue discovered that many courtyard houses in Beijing were vacant.
Since last year, many courtyard houses that were previously confiscated have been returned to individuals one after another.
However, some of these people have already married and had children in other places, some have settled in other places, and others are thinking of ways to go overseas.
Even if you want to keep an old house, it is still a problem.
Firstly, you have to pay property tax even though you can't live in the house yourself. Secondly, even if you can rent it out, the rent is not enough to cover the annual maintenance costs of the house.
And it's very laborious.
Therefore, many people want to sell their houses in Beijing as soon as possible.
Jiang Weidong was shocked when he heard that his younger sister wanted to buy a house. "Buy a house? How much does it cost? Besides, the rent is not expensive now, isn't it the same to rent a house? What if we are not in Beijing in the future?"
Jiang Qingyue paused, then told him what she had seen in the past two days.
"Third brother, whether we stay in Beijing or not, now is the best time to buy a house. There are the most vacancies and the prices are the cheapest. If you miss it, the price won't be the same if you want to buy it later."
Jiang Weidong pondered for a while and finally made up his mind, "Little sister, you have always been far-sighted. I believe in your vision. Then let's buy a house! Don't rent it!"
"It's just that we are unfamiliar with Beijing. How about asking Editor-in-Chief Song to help us find out? His friend is also very familiar with the surrounding area. Maybe he has a ready-made house."
Jiang Qingyue paused for a moment, "Third brother, let's go to the Housing Management Office tomorrow first. If we can avoid troubling others, then we should do so."
Jiang Weidong knew that the girl didn't want to have too much involvement with Song Zhihe, so he had to agree first, "Okay, let's go to the Housing Management Office tomorrow to have a look."
