Chapter 346: Terrified Sister-in-Law
She looked at it from inside to outside. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into the renovation of the house. Two bathrooms were built, and furniture was bought for the master bedroom. With the house price, Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but feel pain just thinking about it.
Wang Xiaojie said, "You kid, why buy furniture? Let your dad buy it himself."
The main reason was that Lu Hongjun and Tang Sufen lived in this house. Making the house so nice was also a bargain for Tang Sufen and her son.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Only the master bedroom has furniture, and no other rooms have been bought."
Since it's going to be done, make it beautiful, and it won't cost much. In this way, if Lu Hongjun is dissatisfied, others will definitely stand on her side.
After looking at the house, Lu Jiaxin said, "Sister-in-law, your house is inside. We wanted to buy it together, but the houses in the middle were not for sale."
"How far is it?"
"Not far, only more than 30 meters away."
As Lu Jiaxin said, it was more than 30 meters to the right.
Lu Jiaxin stopped and pointed to the locked door and said to Wang Xiaojie, "Sister-in-law, this is your house."
After that, she took the key from her bag and handed it to her, "Sister-in-law, your house, you open the door."
Wang Xiaojie wiped her hands before taking the key, unlocked the door, pushed the door open and walked in. She was stunned when she saw the big yard inside: "Jiaxin, Jiaxin, why is this house so big?"
This house has two main rooms, two side rooms on the left and right, and a big yard in the middle. This yard alone is more than 20 square meters. It is also the same, it looks very spacious.
Lu Jiaxin looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this house has two courtyards, and the layout of the back is similar to this one."
When Wang Xiaojie heard this, she immediately went to the back. This second courtyard is indeed the same as the front, the only difference is that there is no kitchen and woodshed.
Wang Xiaojie came to her senses and stuffed the key back to Lu Jiaxin: "This house is too big, your brother and I can't have it. Jiaxin, take this house back."
Lu Jiaxin didn't take the key and said: "Sister-in-law, Lu Ping and his four brothers and sisters will each have a room. When they get married and have children, the children must have a room to live in, right? Uncle and aunt are old, and the medical conditions in their hometown are not good. Second brother and second sister-in-law also want to take root here. They will definitely live in Sijiu City in the future. Sister-in-law, the four or five rooms you originally said are definitely not enough. This house is just right."
Wang Xiaojie shook her head and said: "No, this house costs tens of thousands, and your brother and I can't afford it."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said: "The house is in the name of Lu Ping and his four brothers and sisters. If you don't want it, Lu Ping and Zhenzhen will definitely want to have a separate room."
Sijiu City's house purchase restrictions are in 2011, which is still more than 20 years away. The house being in the name of the four brothers and sisters will not affect their future purchase of a house.
The reason why the house was not in Lu Jiaguang's name is because of the current housing shortage. At that time, someone might stand on the moral high ground and ask Lu Jiaguang to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng and give up the house. As a leader, it is really difficult to deal with.
Lu Jiaguang can still move up, and it will be bad for him if he is caught in such negative public opinion. But if it is in the name of the four brothers and sisters, there is no such worry.
Wang Xiaojie was stunned: "The house is in the name of Pingping, Zhenzhen and the other four?"
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said: "They are all your and your eldest brother's children, so they should be treated equally. There are twelve rooms, so it is easy to divide them."
Wang Xiaojie came back to her senses and felt that she had gone off topic: "Jiaxin, this house must cost tens of thousands. Your eldest brother and I only make a little over 500 a month, so how can we afford such a good house."
Lu Jiaxin felt that she was too excited and didn't get to the point: "Sister-in-law, we agreed before that this house is for you. The house is in the name of Lu Ping and his family, so it is for the four brothers and sisters. Tell the outside world that this is a gift from me as a sister-in-law."
Wang Xiaojie shook her head and said: "No, if that happens, my second and third brothers will feel that it is unfair and there will be conflicts at that time."
Lu Jiaxin was really not worried: "Second sister-in-law is a smart person, and she must know that I am not giving you a house for superficial reasons."
In order not to affect the relationship between the two families, she will reveal a few words to Lu's second sister-in-law about this matter. The second sister-in-law is a sensible person and will understand.
Lu Jiaxin said again: "By the way, the last time I called back, Xiaoqiu said that the second brother and sister-in-law bought a shop. With their hard work, they can buy a house in two years. As for the third sister-in-law, she heard that the second brother and sister-in-law worked hard from dawn to dusk and stopped coming. It is not so beautiful in this world to want to get something for nothing without working hard."
Wang Xiaojie could not refute.
Seeing that she was still struggling, Lu Jiaxin pulled her into the master bedroom. The renovation and layout here are the same as Lu Hongjun's.
Wang Xiaojie said: "Why are you still buying furniture? We buy furniture ourselves."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said: "Didn't you give me more than 3,000 yuan? This money was used to buy furniture. According to my expectation, this is for my uncle and aunt to live here. I don't know what they like, so I only bought a bed and a wardrobe. You and my brother will buy the rest later."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaojie had a bad premonition, and she hurried back to the yard to take a look. Well, the master bedroom is better decorated, with a bed, bedside table, wardrobe, dressing table, and all the furniture. The side room has been converted into a study, and a clothes hanger has been installed to hang a painting. In addition, a bathroom has been built in the master bedroom.
Wang Xiaojie is also a connoisseur of goods. Looking at these red solid wood furniture, her heart trembled: "Jiaxin, how much did this house cost in total?"
Lu Jiaxin still said the same thing, not much.
Wang Xiaojie said firmly: "Jiaxin, if you don't tell me, your elder brother and I will not take this house."
The house can be taken, but it cannot be taken without knowing it. At least we need to know how much Jiaxin spent.
Lu Jiaxin knew that she had to tell him: "This house was bought for 43,000 yuan, and it cost 58,000 yuan to hire someone to repair it and renovate the bathroom, and the furniture cost 32,000 yuan."
Someone had already liked this house at that time, but they had not reached an agreement on the price. He Bin found out that this house was for sale and the property rights were clear. After seeing it, he paid a deposit on the spot. If He Bin hadn't come out halfway, this house could actually be negotiated for less than 40,000 yuan.
Wang Xiaojie calculated and was horrified to find that this house cost 52,000 yuan. Their family had to go without food and drink for ten years to save up such a large sum of money.
Lu Jiaxin remembered that there was an empty space behind the second courtyard: "It's more than ten square meters. I think it can be used for my uncle and aunt to grow vegetables."
"There's also a backyard?"
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said: "I originally wanted to buy a house with a garden, but I couldn't buy it. You can grow flowers before my uncle and aunt come."
Wang Xiaojie secretly thought that it was fortunate that she didn't buy a house with a garden, otherwise it would cost 70,000 or 80,000. She regretted why she didn't go to see the house herself. If she had gone to see the house, she wouldn't have spent so much money. Alas, it's really worth knowing earlier.
