The surrounding alleys and the houses that her former factory colleagues had been allocated were all narrow and small. Before she came, she thought her daughter would also live in such a small house. She had never seen such a large family compound before.
She looked around the courtyard in surprise, then walked to the door of the main room and peeked inside: "Wow, it's so big! Xiao Qiao, not only do your three rooms face a good direction, but they're also two rooms deep. Looking at it this way, there are practically six rooms inside. Not to mention there are two outbuildings on the east side of the courtyard... My goodness, it's so spacious! If you ask me, you could easily fit ten people in here!"
Looking at Fang Qiao's house, and then recalling the two bungalows where she lived, which were damp and cramped, it was simply not a place for a human to live.
She pulled Fang Qiao into the house, peeked out the door to make sure Xiao Jing was still watching the child, then lowered her voice and asked Fang Qiao, "Girl, tell me honestly, what does your husband do? How much does he earn a month?"
Fang Qiao replied dismissively, "He's just a minor director at a pharmaceutical factory, his salary is only one level higher than that of a worker."
"Don't try to fool me." Yang Fengxia clearly didn't believe it: "Just because you're one level above the workers, you can live in a house like this? This house is more spacious than the houses where the leaders of the textile factory used to live."
"What kind of place is a textile factory? And what kind of place is this?"
Fang Qiao said helplessly, "The textile factory is in the city, and land in the city is extremely precious. It's already good if they can use it to build two apartment buildings for employees. There are so many people in the factory waiting to be allocated housing, and at most, each family can only get two rooms. But this place is near the foot of Heshan Mountain, the suburbs of the suburbs. To put it bluntly, this is the countryside, and the last thing they lack is land. Every family in the countryside lives in a spacious house, but how many people in the city are willing to move to the countryside? You ask me if my younger brother is willing?"
Fang Lucai was unwilling. He even thought the textile factory was too remote, too far from the department store and Quanjude! In his opinion, it would only be considered remote if it were built inside the Second Ring Road!
"What you said makes sense." Yang Fengxia chuckled twice, but didn't give up and continued to press, "Then tell me, how much does he actually earn in a month?"
"Why are you asking this?" Fang Qiao didn't answer. She turned around and walked to the table in the main room where the thermos was placed. She picked up a clean ceramic cup, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to Yang Fengxia.
Yang Fengxia took the ceramic cup but didn't drink from it. She casually placed it on the square table and said, "I was just asking, is that not allowed?"
