Chapter 465: Not Taking Advantage of You
Although it was a cram school, the curriculum was still very intense. Moreover, Ji Zixuan had rarely been in the kitchen and didn't know how to cook.
I originally wanted to bring Liu Guihua over, but she is very busy now.
First, Li Xiang and Li Nian were on vacation, so she had to stay at home to look after the children; second, Li Miao and Gong Wenbo’s wedding date was approaching, and there were still many things to prepare.
Since Gong Wenbai doesn't have an elder who can take charge, Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming have to worry more.
Fortunately, Wang Yueju had nothing to do and agreed to come.
Although Wenwen and Shuoshuo also had their holidays, the children were grown up and didn't need much care.
The night before National Day, Zhang Kun got off work and went straight back to his hometown.
When he went there, it was almost seven o'clock.
Zhang Jun, Hao Meiting, Zhang Yao and Wei Zhenghao had just finished their meal.
"Brother, have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?" Wei Zhenghao saw Zhang Kun and quickly stood up and asked.
Zhang Kun ignored him and went straight into the house.
Two years ago, the three siblings each contributed a little money, demolished the tiled house and rebuilt a bigger house.
Since there were more rooms, Wei Zhenghao simply moved here.
The two of them are now just like playing house, living the lives of husband and wife, but they are still in a divorced state.
Therefore, Zhang Kun still dislikes Wei Zhenghao very much and doesn't want to say a word to him.
Wei Zhenghao's temper has become much more restrained over the years.
Seeing that Zhang Kun ignored him, he didn't get angry. He smiled and sat down to eat.
"Why are we eating now?" Zhang Kun asked after entering the house.
Wang Yueju was wrapping a book cover for Wenwen. "I went to water the fields and came back late. Have you eaten?"
Zhang Kun nodded, "I ate at work and came here."
In recent years, Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao have contracted a few acres of land. When there is a lot of work to do, they will help each other.
Wang Yueju told the two children beside her: "Be obedient at home these few days and don't be naughty. I will be back from staying in the city for a few days and bring you some delicious food."
Wenwen and Shuoshuo, now eleven and eight years old respectively, are considered big kids.
Hearing this, they nodded obediently and promised to be good and obedient at home.
Wang Yueju looked at Zhang Kun again and said, "Sit down and wait for me to finish making the book cover for her before you leave."
Zhang Kun said: "It's okay, don't worry."
He sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
Wenwen and Shuoshuo have basically been taken care of by Wang Yueju in the past two years. She would definitely be reluctant to let them go away for a week, so she let them stay a little longer.
"Brother, you are going to City B to buy a house. Do you have enough money?" After finishing her meal, Zhang Yao came and sat down next to Zhang Kun.
"I just bought a car, so I don't have a lot of money. Your sister-in-law and I plan to sell our two houses in the county, and we should be able to come up with the down payment."
Before, they didn’t know much about the housing prices in City B and thought that if they worked hard, they could pay the full amount.
After helping to look at several houses, Li Miao realized that the housing prices in City B were too expensive.
In cheaper places, the price is four to five thousand yuan per square meter, and in better places, it is six to seven thousand yuan per square meter. A house of about one hundred square meters costs nearly one million yuan.
He sighed: "I should have known not to buy this car. It would have been better to save the money to buy a house."
The more he thought about it recently, the more he felt that his daughter was right!
Once a car is bought, its value will depreciate. He wants to sell the car, but it is not cost-effective to sell it now. He will lose at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan if he resells it.
Even if you only drive it for one kilometer, as long as you buy it and then sell it, it will be a used car. You might as well keep it and drive it yourself!
Now I can only scrape together some money to pay the down payment first and then repay the loan slowly. Fortunately, my wife's stores are quite profitable, and I estimate that I can repay the loan in three to four years.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kun sighed, "I found that your sister-in-law and I don't have much sense for managing money. When we have money, we tend to get carried away and buy useless things. In our family, Yuanyuan is the one with the best sense for managing money."
Zhang Yao listened with some curiosity: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Our Yuanyuan has loved reading since she was a child and is very knowledgeable. When your sister-in-law opened a store, many of her ideas came from her. It was also her suggestion to buy a house now.
Now that I think about it, housing prices have indeed risen a lot in the past few years, and they may rise further in the future. I will definitely need a house, and when Zixuan graduates from college, he may have to stay in City B to work, get married, and have children. Sooner or later, I will have to buy something, so I might as well buy it now while I can afford it. "
Zhang Yao smiled and said, "Brother, let me discuss something with you."
Hearing this, Zhang Kun looked at his sister suspiciously: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Wenwen is about to go to junior high school. I want to buy your house and then we can move to the county."
Zhang Kun subconsciously looked at Wei Zhenghao when he heard this. He frowned and asked Zhang Yao in a low voice: "What's your idea?"
Zhang Yao knew what he was thinking. Thinking back to when she and her husband had intended to occupy her eldest brother's house, she still felt a little embarrassed.
She immediately explained: "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you whatever the market price is. As long as you agree, I'll get the money for you tomorrow. In addition, I have some spare money on hand, which I probably won't need in the next few years, so I can lend it to you."
Zhang Jun, who was eating downstairs, also said, "Brother, I have some here too. You can use it first, and try not to take out a loan. The interest rate of commercial loans is too high, it's not cost-effective."
Wang Yueju also said: "Xiaojun is right, let's all pool our money together and try not to take out a loan."
Zhang Kun didn't say anything. He lowered his head and thought about Zhang Yao's suggestion.
If the house was sold to Zhang Yao, he would definitely be happy. After all, he had carefully selected the house.
The family lived there for quite some time and had some feelings for the house.
Now he has no choice but to sell it, and he also wants to find a good owner for the house.
He knows Zhang Yao well and will definitely take good care of his house in the future.
"Okay, if you're willing to buy, I'm definitely willing to sell."
Zhang Yao was about to speak when Zhang Jun came over after finishing his meal: "Brother, don't you have two sets? Sell the other one to me!"
Zhang Kun was a little suspicious: "Why? You two don't want to help me, do you? This house is not that difficult to sell. It's not that I can't sell it."
Zhang Jun laughed: "What are you thinking about? I was thinking that Shuo Shuo will also go to school in two years. Junior high school and high school add up to six years. By then, we won't let them run back and forth. We can just buy a house and let Mei Ting go over to accompany him to study."
Zhang Kun looked thoughtful, "Then it would be great if you could buy a house in the city. The schools there are better than those in the county."
"My sister and I don't have much skills, unlike my sister-in-law, who knows how to do business. We still have to farm in this village to make money and can't leave here. If we buy a house in the city, it's too far and we probably won't see each other for ten days or half a month. If we buy a house in the county, I can visit every now and then, which is good. As neighbors with my sister, we can take care of each other."
