Chapter 227: Selfishness
Brother Park took his wife and children and returned to his small home of only 36 square meters (South Korea, like Japan, buying a house only counts the usable area of the suite, and there is no construction area). Even if the living area is not large, it can be regarded as a two-bedroom apartment.
He and his wife live in the master bedroom, while their children live in the second bedroom with bunk beds. In Seoul, South Korea, it is normal for siblings to share a bedroom.
In fact, not only in Seoul, but also in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai...... There are also the same in international metropolises. This is the most real side of ordinary people's lives.
Not only when they were children, but even when they grew up, many of them continued. It's not easy to move out of your home and rent a house.
The monthly rent of an ordinary house in Seoul is 1 million won (more than 5,000 soft girl coins). In addition to rent, there are also the most basic food and drink, utilities, commuting expenses, and so on.
Only 10%-20% of South Koreans are able to work for large companies, while 70%-80% are only able to work for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Even the former has to work for a large company for several years before they can earn an annual income of about 60 million won. That's 5 million won per month.
If you work in a small or medium-sized enterprise, it is only two to three million won a month, or even less. The average monthly income of those working in small and medium-sized enterprises is in fact only one-third of the average monthly income of employees in large companies.
Among them, there are many people who are less than 2 million won per month. If the monthly income of 2 million won is calculated, half of the rent is removed, and the remaining half of the income can only barely make ends meet.
After all, according to the standard of monthly income published by the United Nations, no more than one-third of the monthly income is spent on rent, one-third of the monthly income is spent on living, and one-third of the monthly income is spent on savings.
For most people, this is simply not possible. It's almost impossible to buy a house in Seoul just by earning from a general job.
Of course, there are also houses in Seoul, South Korea, with a monthly rent of much less than 1 million won, which is not a few, but a lot.
As for whether it is suitable for human habitation, whether it is dignified or unsafe, it is not far from the city...... That's another story.
Otherwise, who will rent a semi-basement, or even a basement house? Isn't it the low-income people in society?
Sister-in-law Park complained: "You and Park Yilin were both born to the same parents, why is the gap so big?" Our family of four is crammed into a small house of less than 40 square meters, while the mother and son live in a mansion of more than 500 square meters.
Not only that, but we were also saddled with a 35-year mortgage. Your sister and they paid it all in one lump sum. There is also the decoration. Our family ......"
Brother Park didn't wait for her to finish before he interrupted: "People are more angry than people." You always compare the good ones with our family. Why don't you compare the poor ones with our family?
It's not like you don't know that in Seoul, a family of four still lives in a house of less than 10 square meters. This is not a rare and isolated case. ”
Sister-in-law Park retorted: "Why don't you talk about the tragedy that came out of the last Seoul news report? is a single mother who committed suicide with her two daughters because she couldn't pay the rent. ”
Brother Park said bluntly: "Our family is good. ”
Sister-in-law Park was very dissatisfied and said, "It's not bad? Heck, it won't be long before even such a small house is ours.
Junryong lost 200 billion won. That's 200 billion won. Your sister Yilin just said lightly and asked him to explain to his father. ”
Brother Park smiled and said, "Who let Junlong have a biological father of a big chaebol?" And I didn't. ”
Sister-in-law Park said expressionlessly: "Can't you work harder and make more money for the family?" ”
Brother Park immediately cried and laughed: "My current good job that many people envy is also thanks to the help of Yilin."
If it weren't for her, how could I have been working as a full-fledged member at the Seoul Rice Distillery, a major company under the Karuizawa Group's Korean branch?
Although I am only a delivery driver, I work an average of about 12 hours a day. What's the extra time for that?
I come home every day and just want to fall asleep. Why don't you consider going out and getting a job? Supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, etc. ”
Sister-in-law Park said indifferently: "If I go out to work, what are you doing as a man?" Besides, I do all the housework, grocery shopping and cooking. ”
Brother Park said bluntly: "If you don't want to go out to work, then stop chattering." That's the case in our family. In a few years, the children will work, and it will be fine. ”
Sister-in-law Park felt that what the man said was reasonable, so she looked at her children and said, "From now on, you will work." If you are still living at home, then you have to pay living expenses. ”
The sisters and brothers of the Park family said in unison: "Don't." ”
Sister-in-law Park said straightforwardly: "You are planning to continue to eat me and your father for nothing in the future." ”
The daughter of the Park family is reasonable: "After work, there will be more things to buy." If you don't have some luxury goods, you will be looked down upon in society.
In addition, there is no shortage of dinners between colleagues and friends, going to bars or something. Otherwise, you will be ostracized by others. This monthly money is definitely not enough.
By the way, I have to ask Aunt Yilin for my future work. I don't want to do a low-paying, undignified job. Those jobs aren't for me, a native of Seoul. ”
The son of the Park family said confidently: "If I don't have a house, it's not easy to talk about a girlfriend." You'll have to think about the down payment for the house. The thunderstorm in South Korea this time is really terrible.
It is best to buy this house in Gangnam District. I love everything about it so much. Every time I went back to my grandparents' house, the neighbors looked at me with envy.
The car cannot be less, either. Besides, I don't want to be like my dad and get married after the age of 40. Because he got married and had children late, we were younger than Junlong's brother.
It stands to reason that my father, as the eldest son of the Park family, should be the first to get married and have children. As for my future work, it is absolutely useless to rely on you, and I have to rely on Aunt Yilin and Brother Junlong. ”
Sister-in-law Park was angry when she heard these words from her children and said, "You two selfish guys, just thinking about yourself. ”
