Chapter 122: Inappropriate
Kato's mother's thinking is not snobbery, but the idea that living in an international metropolis like Tokyo is normal and can't be normal anymore.
Not to mention the high cost of living, high prices, and high housing prices in Tokyo...... It has always been at the top of the ranking of major cities in the world and has never changed.
In Tokyo, there are many young and middle-aged people, both men and women, dressed up fashionably and looking like rich people, but they don't have much money at all.
The house they live in, naturally, will not be their own, but rented. The space of a rented house is generally small, within 20 square meters.
If the house is more than 20 square meters, it is either N people sharing a house, or it is a remote location, the house is long, and the noise is loud (either next to the railway, airport, etc., or there is a subway under the house)...... In short, account for at least two or three unfavorable factors.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to rent a house in Tokyo for less than 80,000 yen a month. Therefore, it is too common for many people to rent a house for the rest of their lives.
Housing prices in Tokyo are not as outrageous as they were during the bubble economy in Japan, but they are still not cheap, and it is almost impossible for the average Japanese young person to buy a house or something.
It is pure nonsense to say that Japanese people don't like to buy houses and like to rent houses. The main reason for this is that most of them simply can't afford it.
In addition, when young Japanese people not only buy a house, but also need to spend more money to get married, buy a car, etc., parents who can afford it will support it.
Saying that Japanese parents give money to their children, according to Japanese law, have to pay taxes or something, although it is not pure nonsense, but it is also in name only.
Is there just some people from the Japan Tax Bureau, busy? Instead of wasting their time staring at the common people, they should be staring at the rich. As a result, the wealthy have the means to engage in all kinds of reasonable tax avoidance.
If this related Japanese law were to be implemented, Japan would not become a country with a bottom-up rigid society.
More and more Japanese people, especially young Japanese, have already seen it. If you are born without it, there is a high probability that you will not have it in this life.
They would rather spend their money on their hobbies or be forced to choose low desires, rather than live a life like their parents and grandparents in order to get married and have children, or for a house.
Kato's mother wanted to know more about Kentaro Miyamoto and said, "You also live in Shoto, Shibuya-ku?"
Kentaro Miyamoto has told the truth, "No. I live in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku Ward. It's easier for me to go to school."
Kato's mother asked further, "How big is the place you rent?"
Kentaro Miyamoto replied truthfully, "It's not rented, it's one of my family's properties. More than 300 square meters of house. As for how many square meters of 300, I really don't know. I need to go through the title deeds."
Kato's mother was surprised and asked, "You live alone?"
Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly, "Pineapple lives with me permanently. Pineapple, it's an Alaskan dog."
Ayaka Kato said in disbelief: "Just one person and one dog live in a villa of more than 300 square meters?"
Kentaro Miyamoto said, "A house of more than 300 square meters is not a villa! I think it's a big house at best."
Ayaka Kato was almost speechless and said, "One of our families is not more than 300 square meters. Not only our family, but not a single house in our area has more than 300 square meters. To be precise, no one has even exceeded 200 square meters."
Kentaro Miyamoto reacted and said, "Our family came from a construction job. There is an occupational disease here, that is, in addition to doing projects for others, as soon as I come across a good plot, I can't help but buy it and build a house for myself. So, it's going to be a little bit bigger."
Kato's mother suddenly asked curiously, "How big is your house in Shoto, Shibuya Ward?"
Kentaro Miyamoto thought for a moment and said, "I really don't know the usable area of the house, and I haven't asked. I vaguely remember that the land area is 3,000 square meters, or is it 5,000 square meters?"
The Kato family of three was directly speechless. In addition to looking at each other, the rest is to answer that sentence, poverty limits their imagination.
In fact, their family is not poor, but belongs to the upper reaches of the middle class in Tokyo, which is already something that countless people can't get, envy and yearn for all their lives. However, people are more angry than people.
Kentaro Miyamoto sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he looked sideways at Ayaka Kato and said, "Is it big?"
Ayaka Kato immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and asked, "What do you think?"
Kentaro Miyamoto said, "I don't think it's too big! Masayoshi Son's villa in Platinum Terrace, Minato District, has a land area of more than 9,000 square meters.
Brother Xiushu, his Karuizawa's house, that's called a big one. The land area is not measured in square meters, but in hectares. This drove in, and it took a long distance to get to the main house.
By the way, have you seen "Downton Abbey"? It is based on the legendary British mansion Blenheim Palace, with a land area of 980 hectares, or 9,800,000 square meters. And there's the ancestral home of Brother Takuzhen's family......
Ayaka Kato suddenly interrupted, "Who are the Hideki and Takujin you are talking about? It's the first time I've heard from you."
Kentaro Miyamoto explained, "Brother Hideki is Hideki Ishihara. Karuizawa Group, you should know! It's his family's. As for Brother Takujin, his full name is Mitsui Takujin.
The famous Mitsui family, you should have heard of it. Both of them are among the top 10 chaebols in Japan. There is really no comparison between my family and theirs."
Kato's mother, Kato's father, and Kato Ayaka are instantly e. They don't even know how to answer. This is not a man of the world at all.
Kato's mother thought to herself, if her daughter marries into the Miyamoto family in the future, will she really be happy? Will she be bullied by the Miyamoto family? Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look at Kato's father beside her.
The message that her eyes conveyed to her husband was that it was very inappropriate, and it was very inappropriate for us. I have also changed from full of confidence at the beginning to full of negative emotions now.
Kato's father understood at a glance, and he also felt that the two children were indeed not suitable to be together, after all, the gap was too big. The last thing he wants is to see his daughter being toyed with by Kentaro Miyamoto.
