Happiness System

Chapter 271: The Stepmother Goes on Strike 8

When they think about how they managed to survive four years of college, it seems like a miracle!

But reality is reality after all, there are not so many miracles.

Although life has improved a little, it’s not much!

They haven't saved any money over the years!

Adding the remaining dowry money, their savings barely amounted to over a thousand!

As for the small building at home, it was basically built by my eldest uncle.

My uncle failed to get promoted during the reform and opening up period, so he decisively resigned and went into business.

He did have some skills and soon turned his life around and made a lot of money.

Then my parents-in-law started to make trouble, demanding to improve their living environment.

My uncle was not stupid either. He immediately said that he could build a house for the family, but everyone had to contribute money, and the house would be divided according to the amount of money contributed.

Everyone knows what the situation is at home. The eldest brother allows them to take advantage, but he is not happy if they take too much.

When the small building was being built, Yan's parents contributed 500 yuan, and the rest was contributed by the eldest uncle, who also signed the agreement.

After the family is divided, this house will belong to the eldest uncle, and my parents will live with him in the future. Before the family is divided, everyone can live in the house. After the family is divided, the brothers will be given certain compensation based on the market value.

Of course, this compensation refers to the land part, and the house was built by the eldest uncle.

There are four siblings in the Yan family. The younger sister does not participate in the division of the family property after she gets married, so the land is divided equally among the three brothers. Whenever the family is divided, the eldest uncle will give the land of his two younger brothers in cash to them.

In fact, the three-story building is not very big, especially after Yan Xiaomei moved to her mother's house with her family, it seemed even more crowded!

Brother Yan’s son is 20 years old this year and is a junior in college. He already has a girlfriend. The parents of both families have met privately and agreed to hold a wedding for their children after they graduate.

But my eldest nephew still doesn’t have his own independent house!

Mrs. Yan had hinted many times that they should separate and move away. Ren Lianxia and her husband's workplace was quite far from home, and they also wanted to move, but the situation was stronger than people!

Ren Lianxia couldn't stop crying and cried out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Ren Lianyi knew that his sister had had a hard time over the years, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

But before he could try to persuade him, his colleagues from his unit came up to him and asked him to go back for a meeting.

Yun Qinqin comforted the man and then advised: "In your situation, you should move out. No matter your uncle really doesn't make much money now or he deliberately hides his income, you can buy a house and move out now to save some money."

"You know our previous house, we only bought it for over 2,000 yuan back then, but last time someone came to ask and said they were willing to pay 4,000 yuan!"

"In fact, we also came here to look at houses when we first came back. At that time, the houses here were just over 3,000 yuan. Now, in just two years, we have spent more than 1,000 yuan more!"

"While you still have money, hurry up and look for a house to move out. Otherwise, your money will become less and less and the house will become more and more expensive!"

Ren Lianxia has naturally been paying attention to housing prices. It is because of this that she becomes anxious and feels that life is becoming hard.

After all, she couldn't resist her desire for a house, and she said shyly, "Actually, Yan Luo and I went to look at houses with a friend some time ago, and he chose two of the remaining ones that we really liked.

A house with a good location but a rather dilapidated mud-brick house. This house is cheap at only 2,800 yuan, which is equivalent to spending this money to buy an 80-square-meter piece of land.

The other one is a small cement flat with a well-built base and a good location, close to where they work.

The original owner had planned to build three or four floors, but when business ran into problems he only built one floor.

The house is just equipped with doors and windows but not decorated. This house is 120 square meters and costs 6,500 yuan!"

In fact, they chose these two houses because they are cheap and cost-effective. There are other houses like the tube-shaped buildings, which are small and crowded, with complicated interpersonal relationships, and the prices are similar to the two they liked.

The one that costs 2,800 is actually a dangerous building. It would cost a lot of money if they bought it and demolished it and rebuilt it. Even now there are no brick and tile houses in the city, only concrete buildings.

Originally, they preferred the cheaper house, but the eldest sister-in-law of the husband's family had hinted to them that if they moved out, she would give them 2,000...

After hesitating for a while, she continued, "Actually, I still want to move out as soon as possible. I wonder if those two houses have been sold?

My mother-in-law really hates us having money. If she knew I took money back from my parents’ home, she would definitely try to get the money out of her hands.”

In Yun Qinqin's opinion, neither of them was a good choice, but she didn't know the situation over there, and she certainly wouldn't make a decision for her sister-in-law. She could only suggest: "Why don't you call your brother-in-law? You two can discuss it first?"

My brother-in-law's aunt's house is not far from Ren's house, and the two met because Yan Luo came to visit relatives.

The sisters-in-law of the Ren family are not the kind of people who can keep secrets. It will probably not take a few days for the news that the elder and younger sisters-in-law got a sum of money from their parents' home to spread.

"Then I'll make a phone call. Yan Luo is at work now, so it's safer for us to discuss things together than at home!"

Ren Lianxia put the money away and hurried out to make a phone call.

Yun Qinqin looked around at home and decided to go out and buy some things.

Her sister-in-law lives with her husband's family, and they will definitely complain if she goes back empty-handed. In addition to bringing gifts for her sister-in-law, she also has to go to the vegetable market to take a look.

Occasionally, people from rural suburbs would come into the city in the afternoon to sell some poultry and vegetables, but it was a matter of luck. If they couldn't buy any vegetables, they would have to eat out again tonight.

However, Ren Lianxia's two thousand yuan was still at home, so she was not so careless as to run out immediately. It was only a little after three o'clock, so there was no need to rush.

Phone calls are very expensive now, costing 30 cents a minute. Most people's monthly salary is not enough to chat for two hours. No wonder writing letters is popular now.

Ren Lianxia came back in less than ten minutes. She smiled shyly and said, "I told Yan Luo to go check if the house is still available and see if he can find another more suitable one in the afternoon. He should call me at six o'clock to let me know the situation."

As soon as you exit Huaihua Lane, you will reach the main street of Dongcheng District. There is a convenience store at the entrance of the lane, which is actually a private store. There is a telephone there and it is usually open until seven or eight in the evening.

Ren Lianxia probably made the call there, and answering the call also required paying the same fee, so the owner of the convenience center was quite happy for people to go to her house to make calls.

After chatting for a while, seeing that Ren Lianxia looked tired, Yun Qinqin asked her to close the door and take a nap, as she still had to go out.

Ren Lianxia thought her second sister-in-law was going to the shop, so she didn't ask much. When she saw her second sister-in-law pushing her bicycle out of the house, she closed the door, touched the two dozen brand new bills, and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

"Brother Yi, are you done with your work?"

After Yun Qinqin finished shopping, she happened to meet her husband who was about to go home. She smiled and pushed the cart over.

"Yeah." Ren Lianyi took the bicycle from her hand, "Why did you buy so many things?"

"Not much. The snacks prepared for the children at home have almost been eaten. Xiaoxia will also bring some back tomorrow. She also bought some vegetables..."

Yun Qinqin said this as she took him to her daughter's daycare center. It was almost five o'clock, so it would be okay to pick up the child earlier.

Hearing his wife talking about his sister buying a house, Ren Lianyi frowned and said, "How much cash do you have now? Give Xiaoxia another 500."

He really didn't expect that his sister's financial situation was so poor. He originally thought that with the two thousand, his sister and her husband could choose a nice house!

"Take one thousand, and make it even! I haven't had time to deposit this month's turnover into the bank yet.

What do you think about us opening a shop in the provincial capital next year?"

Seeing that Ren Lianyi's eyes were not right, Yun Qinqin quickly explained, "I have no plans to go to the provincial capital for the time being, I will go wherever you and the child are!

Wasn’t I thinking about Xiaoxia over there?

Let's find a shop near her house. Don't all the shops here need to stock up on goods?

I heard from the female comrades who often come to buy clothes that our clothes can be taken to the provincial capital without losing quality. You see, some of the clothing patterns are designed by me. It’s a pity that they are only sold in Pingcheng.

Let's open a shop in the provincial capital so that we can earn more money. Besides, let Xiaoxia look after it for us and we can pay her a salary so that we can help her out.

Besides, aren't you going to be promoted to deputy director? You will continue to be promoted, and maybe we will live in the provincial capital in the future.

You can save up some money so you won't be nervous when the time comes, right?"

"Let's talk about this later. I may have to go on a business trip to the provincial capital for half a month next month. I will take the time to investigate then."

Yun Qinqin knew that he agreed, so she coaxed him and said, "In fact, our life is already very good. We have a house and a shop. I don't want to work too hard.

I also want to buy you a car. I asked about the price. It’s too slow for us to save money in a shop!

If you don’t have any big spending money, it will probably take two or three years to buy it!

There are more and more self-employed people now, and the competition in business will definitely become more and more fierce in the future, and the profits will definitely be reduced a lot by then..."

In his previous life, Ren Lianyi was born in 1990. There are too many uncertainties in this life.

In fact, she also wanted to prepare some backup plans for herself.

It was only when Ren Lianxia came that she remembered to open a shop in the provincial capital. When she made enough money, she would buy two houses and wait for the demolition.

But you must avoid the area where Ren Lianxia's husband's family lives. The original owner of her husband's area did not demolish it, and there has been no news of any demolition.

She must open it early and enjoy it early!

In so many small worlds, she has not died of natural causes in any of them. To be honest, she is not looking forward to this world!

If Ren Lianyi still cannot escape the plot and dies, she will take her children to live in the provincial capital, where there will be fewer people pointing fingers at her and she can enjoy life sooner!

Ren Lianyi was happy to hear her words, but he just thought that Yun Qinqin wanted to take a car. After thinking about it, he felt that it was understandable. His wife had a good relationship with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. But the trip back was too much trouble. She was not willing to go back because of motion sickness and missing her parents' home.
