The total area of this house is 460 square meters, which is 119,600 yuan. Is this price acceptable to you?" The landlord said, fiddling with an abacus.
Jiang Yuxin originally thought that she could buy it for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, but she never expected that it would cost more than 100,000 yuan.
These days, there are very few people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan, let alone one with an annual income of 100,000 yuan.
A house costs almost 120,000 yuan. In this era when the average annual salary is only a few hundred yuan, saying 120,000 yuan can scare a lot of people to death. It is extremely expensive!
When Lin Wanru saw her daughter's expression, she knew that she had underestimated the price of the house. As a native local, she naturally understood the market price of the house, and the price given by the landlord was still very reasonable.
Seeing that her daughter and grandson both liked this place, she decided to buy it and said to the landlord, "I can accept it, but we don't have that much cash on us. Can we wait until we get the money out before making the transaction?"
The landlord didn't expect that they would buy it so readily, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, but I have something to do later. Can we come back here at 2:30 pm to do the transaction?"
Considering that withdrawing such a large amount of money would not be a simple matter, Lin Wanru agreed immediately.
After the discussion, she took her daughter and Han'er directly home. As soon as she got home, she went straight to her room to get the passbook to withdraw money.
When no one was paying attention, Qin Han took out the jar containing the gold ingots and said, "Mom, this is for you!"
Jiang Yuxin looked at the jar that appeared again and was no longer as surprised as she was at the beginning.
She took it and went to the second floor, ready to have her mother take her to the pawn shop to pawn the gold.
Soon, she came to her mother's room and saw her squatting in front of the safe. She could vaguely see some documents, cash, and even small yellow croakers stored inside.
However, Jiang Yuxin did not show any greedy expression, but asked: "Mom, can you take me to the pawn shop?"
Lin Wanru had just found the passbook. When she heard her daughter's voice, she stood up and turned to look, with a curious look on her face: "Yuxin, what are you doing in the pawnshop?"
Jiang Yuxin didn't look at the contents of the safe anymore, but walked in and put the jar on the small round table: "Mom, what do you think this is?"
Looking at her mysterious daughter, Lin Wanru walked over and curiously opened the jar. Then she saw a jar of gold ingots and her eyes widened immediately: "Yuxin, where did you get so many gold ingots?"
Without waiting for Jiang Yuxin to speak, Qin Han, who came in with her, spoke first: "Grandma, this was accidentally found by mom in a cave in the back mountain."
Jiang Yuxin, who was about to make an excuse, nodded in agreement: "Yes, I found this by accident, it might have been hidden in there by someone in the past.
Mom, do you think these gold ingots can be exchanged for cash to buy that villa?"
Lin Wanru, who believed in her daughter's character, did not doubt her daughter's words.
But this daughter is so lucky that she picked up a jar of gold ingots. How much is this worth?
Putting away his surprised expression, he immediately answered his daughter's question: "Of course, so many gold ingots are enough, but it's not cost-effective to use them to buy a house.
Gold is not like money, which can be obtained in any amount. It has great potential for appreciation. Gold used to cost only a dozen or twenty yuan per gram, but now it has risen to more than forty yuan.
I believe that in the next ten years, it will be sold for at least one hundred yuan per gram.
Listen to mom, I'll pay for the house, you keep the gold, and when it appreciates in value, you can sell it."
She understood the market situation, so she chose to buy gold items for her grandchildren as gifts.
"But this house is not cheap, how can I let you pay for it?" If it was a few hundred or a few thousand it would be fine, but this is hundreds of thousands. Jiang Yuxin was afraid that her younger brothers and sisters would have some thoughts if they knew about it.
Lin Wanru smiled and said, "In this way, the money will be considered as a loan from mom. When the price of gold goes up in the future, you can sell the gold and return the money for buying the house to me. How about that?"
"But..." Jiang Yuxin was not sure whether the price of gold would really increase. What if it didn't?
There was no way she could ask her mother to pay for such an expensive house.
No matter how rich she is, I can't take it for granted that I am entitled to everything she has given me. Wouldn't that be like living off my parents?
"No buts, mom has a very good eye. Gold will only become more and more expensive in the future. It's settled!"
In the afternoon, it was Lin Wanru who finally paid the money, and with her help, the procedures for buying and selling the house were quickly completed.
Jiang Yimin arranged for someone to handle Jiang Yuxin's household registration on the third day after she arrived in Shanghai.
She is now a real citizen of Shanghai. As for the children, their household registration is still in the Qin family. After all, they are the blood of the Qin family.
As long as she is with the child, it doesn’t matter where her household registration is.
Looking at the property certificate in her hand, Jiang Yuxin couldn't believe that she would have a house of her own in Shanghai, and the price of this house was over 100,000 yuan.
For her, who grew up in the countryside, it was an astronomical figure, an unattainable number.
However, she gave the key to the house to her mother so that she could arrange for someone to clean it regularly. Otherwise, when they came back during the holidays, there was no telling how much dust there would be inside.
Thinking that the house had been bought, the New Year was over, and she had met all the people she was supposed to meet, Jiang Yuxin planned to go back.
After being away from her hometown for so long, she still misses her children a lot.
When Lin Wanru heard that her daughter wanted to go back, she was very reluctant to let her go.
But he also knew that his daughter couldn't let go of her child, just as he couldn't let go of her.
So he asked her to stay until Sunday so that everyone in her family would have time to see her off.
It just so happened that these few days, she had time to buy more things for her daughter to take back.
Thinking that her daughter's hometown didn't have a TV, she bought a color TV and asked the guard who drove her and Han'er back to help install it.
In addition, she also plans to install a landline phone for Lao Qin's family so that the mother and daughter can contact each other by phone at any time.
If you want to install a telephone in an ordinary person's home, the procedure will be more complicated, and you may not get your turn in a year or so.
But with Jiang Yimin's identity, such a small matter can be settled in a few days, and then just call the local post office.
For the rest, she bought a lot of Shanghai's specialties and asked her daughter to take them back.
If the car wasn't almost full, she would have been able to buy a lot of things.
Where there is reunion there is separation, and finally on Sunday it was time for Jiang Yuxin and Qin Han to go back.
No matter how reluctant the Jiang family was, they could only watch them get on the jeep.
Lin Wanru stood beside the car with red eyes, holding her daughter's hand tightly and unwilling to let go: "Yuxin, remember to bring the children here during the summer vacation.
When a telephone is installed at home, call mom first. I wrote down the home phone number and put it in my luggage. Don’t lose it.”
"Mom, I get it. You and Dad should take care of your health while I'm away. We will come back to see you in a few months." Jiang Yuxin's eyes were also red.
