Chapter 26: The House Is Not for Sale!
In the evening, Li Bin took the initiative to find Feng Chunmei, who stayed in the bedroom without eating two meals because she was angry, and said: "For so many years, except for lending the second sister 20,000 yuan, we have not given their family any help. You also know that the second sister doesn't earn much, but she has paid off all the foreign debts she owes one after another, and Wen Shuo's child is also angry, not ashamed, and suffers rain or shine to pick up rags and scrap to earn money to subsidize the family...... So think about it carefully, even if we don't pay for it, do you think Wen Shuo won't be able to go to college? He will still go to school, but we have missed the only opportunity to get closer to the second sister and Wen Shuo and make up for the relationship!"
"So what? In this life, we will still ask for them?" Feng Chunmei, who was angry, scoffed at this.
"Yes, it is really possible in the future, I will ask for the head of the second sister and Wen Shuo!" Li Bin suppressed the dissatisfaction he had with his wife for many years, and forced a smile and said: "Have you ever thought that Wen Shuo got such good results in the exam, what university will he go to?"
Feng Chunmei was angry when she mentioned this, and said with a straight face: "What does it have to do with me?
"I'll tell you!" Li Bin said with a straight face: "Beijing University, Huaqing University, and other top universities and institutions in the country! When you go back to your parents' home, you can ask your uncle, cousin, and eldest cousin who works in the government department, and what kind of treatment a young man who has graduated from Beijing University or Huaqing University will receive in the locality! I can tell you right now that all departments and units are rushing to get it, and our county government may not be able to grab it, because the city will be in the front, and the conditions are obviously better than those in the county. Moreover, this kind of students who have studied in the highest institutions of higher learning for several years have extremely high horizons and open minds, and if the conditions are not high, they would rather go to the sea to do business or work in large private enterprises and joint ventures! Therefore, once Wen Shuo graduates and enters the government department in the future, he will definitely become an official directly! Chunmei, we may not need to beg my nephew, who may become an official in the future, but if he thinks about us and hates you, he doesn't need to show up, and if he says something on a certain occasion, someone will naturally embarrass us for him! On the other hand, we have a very good relationship with the second sister and Wen Shuo, and in the future, I, who will be an uncle, and you, who will be a concubine, will need his help, no need to ask, just say hello and solve it, right?"
Although there are exaggerated elements, at the end of the last century, the phenomenon of graduates of famous universities returning to the localities to be scrambled for does exist. Therefore, no matter how angry Feng Chunmei is in her heart, her attitude is not as resolute as before. This is not that Wen Shuo is completely afraid that Wen Shuo may give them small shoes to wear after becoming an official in the future, but because of Feng Chunmei's personality - Wen Shuo has become the top student in the college entrance examination and wants to enter a prestigious university for further study, naturally, Feng Chunmei's contempt for Li Qin and Wen Shuo's mother and son has completely disappeared, and only the resentful anger remains.
But she still resolutely refused to give money to Li Qin and Wen Shuo for no reason, if nothing else, just for this face.
"What if the second sister and Wen Shuo come to our house to borrow money?" Li Bin didn't want to push too hard.
"That's pretty much it, at least I know our feelings, right?" Feng Chunmei said: "If you take the initiative to send money over, people won't think that we will start climbing the branches now? I'm not so cheap!"
Li Bin couldn't cry or laugh, but the goal had been achieved, so he naturally wouldn't say anything more - he believed that the second sister and Wen Shuo would definitely come to him.
Because of them, there is no other way.
As soon as she thought of this, Feng Chunmei suddenly had an idea and said: "Li Bin, I have thought of a way, I don't have to lend them money, but also make them grateful to us, and let Wen Shuo have money to go to college! Yes, I will take the initiative to talk to my second sister tomorrow." ”
"What?" Li Bin was stunned.
"We can buy the building of the second sister's house!" Feng Chunmei looked happy and said: "Think about it, doesn't she have an old house in Liujiaying Village, before the college entrance examination, the money she had saved so hard for so many years was covered with the courtyard wall, and she also said that the three tiled houses are very good, in this case, it doesn't matter if the building she lives in now is not, anyway, Liujiaying Village is also next to the farmers' market, where do she and Wen Shuo live? Let's buy that building, it's close to No. 1 Middle School, and it's convenient for Congwen to go to school, so you don't need to live in school, how good is it?"
Li Bin frowned and said, "How can this work?"
"Why not?" Feng Chunmei said: "Wen Shuo is in a hurry to use money when he goes to school, where can he get the money if he doesn't sell his house? The building in the cotton mill community is also old, and it is difficult to sell it if you want to, so we have to buy it! Haven't you always wanted to buy a house in the city, this is just right, it can be cheaper...... Okay, that's it. ”
"Alas. Li Bin sighed.
He knew that once Feng Chunmei made such a decision, no matter how much he persuaded him, it would be useless, and it would cause quarrels between husband and wife.
And he also thinks that his wife's idea is feasible.
The cotton mill community where the second sister's house is located is small in scale, the building is old, and it is not very good in all aspects, and it is not at all comparable to the several new residential communities in the county in the past two years, so even if the second sister wants to sell the house, it is not easy to sell. Besides, the second sister has Liu's house to live in, and it is useless to keep that building, but she still has to pay some messy expenses every year, although it is not much, but it is also a heavy expense for her family's situation.
Li Bin and Feng Chunmei had a very good idea, so the next day the two came downstairs to Li Qin's house early in the morning, and happened to meet Wen Shuo coming downstairs - he wanted to take advantage of the cool morning to work, so he got up early and simply ate some food and was about to leave.
Since his uncle and concubine came, Wen Shuo had to go home to entertain guests.
Li Bin and Feng Chunmei came to the door, and as soon as they entered the house, Feng Chunmei took the initiative to apologize for yesterday's incident, of course Li Qin would not be blamed anymore, and hurried to the kitchen to make them clear soup and noodles poached eggs.
Li Bin and Wen Shuo sat in the living room chatting, but Feng Chunmei couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to help, and by the way mentioned the idea of wanting to buy this house, she was cheeky and neat, three times five divided by two, Li Qin was moved, but did not agree immediately, but said that he would discuss with Wen Shuo - Li Qin, who is traditional, thinks that men are in charge of major affairs in the family, and Wen Shuo has grown up!
No one expected that after Wen Shuo heard the thoughts of his uncle and concubine, he refused without hesitation, he said: "This house was left by my father, and it can't be sold!"
In fact, what happened at his aunt's house yesterday, Wen Shuo didn't know.
The reason why he was reluctant to sell this house was not as he said, the house left by his father should be remembered. Instead, he didn't want to live in the old house in Liujiaying at all, and he would go to college in other places after the summer vacation, and he would not be at home for a long time, so he was even more worried that his mother would live alone in that empty old house.
Of course, Wen Shuo, who was burdened with the occult law, was not afraid of the haunting in the old mansion, mainly ...... That's where the old man died!
In my heart, I always feel that the diaphragm should respond!
However, such reasons are obviously not suitable for being stated. So when he saw that his mother's expression seemed to help his uncle and concubine persuade him, he got up in a hurry and said that there were many brothers waiting for him in the cotton mill workshop, so he took his leave and left.
It doesn't matter if he leaves, Feng Chunmei is so angry that her lungs are about to explode!
Yesterday, Li Qin dismissed her face in public, and the news of Wen Shuo's top student in the college entrance examination slapped her face, and she was already angry enough. Today, regardless of his previous suspicions, he generously took the initiative to show favor with a shy face, and also thought about Li Qin and Wen Shuo's mother and son, but Wen Shuo, a junior, refused without hesitation, and there was no room for discussion, so he left directly.
Don't talk about it?!
Li Qin suppressed his anger, thinking that he didn't know like a child, anyway, looking at Li Qin's attitude just now, he wanted to sell, so as long as he said that Li Qin was moved, the house would be bought - 500 yuan per square meter, more than 140 square meters, 70,000 yuan to take!
In fact, for the current DongY County, this price is not too low, and even Li Bin feels that his wife is really not too much this time.
However, only Feng Chunmei knew in her heart that the reason why she was so motivated to buy a house was because she heard from her uncle, who was an official in the Urban Construction Bureau, that the national real estate reform was about to begin, and after the full commercialization of urban buildings, housing prices would definitely rise sharply.
"Second sister, Wen Shuo has a strong temperament, and his age is also young, so he can't figure it out for a while, and you persuade him to go back and persuade him, what's the use of keeping this house?" Feng Chunmei looked sincere, and said: "Let's open the skylight and say something bright, you also know that I am a small-minded person, for fear that I will not be able to repay the money for a few years when the time comes, but we are relatives, and the child has been admitted to university, so we have to help." No, just buy your useless house at a high price, you can go out and inquire, the price I paid is very high, and I can save money if I buy it somewhere else. ”
Li Qin smiled bitterly and nodded, there is no need to ask, someone in the community sold a house a few days ago, and the price is the same.
But thinking of Feng Chunmei's behavior in the past, Li Qin really didn't believe that she would have such a good heart, and besides, her son resolutely refused to sell just now...... Thinking about Feng Chunmei's anger at the eldest sister's house yesterday, Li Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Chunmei, Binzi, since Wen Shuo is not happy, I can't sell this house, otherwise I'm sorry for your brother-in-law who died early." ”
Li Bin showed a helpless expression.
And Feng Chunmei blew up in an instant - she felt that she was already persuading each other with good words and begging each other, Li Qin and Wen Shuo, the mother and son, were so ignorant!
"Okay, okay!" Li Qin threw down the bowl and left quickly despite her husband's dissuasion.
"Second sister......" Li Bin looked embarrassed.
"Okay, let's go chase Chunmei, don't do anything else, alas. Li Qin waved her hand helplessly, but there was a deep remorse in her heart - she was impulsive just now, but she cut off the only way to borrow money.
Outside the window, Feng Chunmei's sharp shout came: "I'll tell you Li Bin, from now on, you are not allowed to lend your second sister's family a penny!"
