Chapter 2067 The Old Lady Reborn 70 Transforms the White-Eyed Wolf Children 105
Wei Dazhi learned from Zhang Yu that when she went to look at a house today, she unexpectedly met the Li family, and her first thought was, "We don't want that house anymore."

"Such a nice house, why don't you want it?" Zhang Yu was the first to be unhappy, "I've already bought it."

"The formalities have been completed."

"And let me tell you, they also bought it secretly without telling their families."

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "We are the only ones who know about this. You should not tell anyone, especially Wei Jiang and Wei He."

Given Li Juan's personality, once she knew about this, she would definitely make a scene. "Li Juan and her daughter knew about this, but they couldn't get the news from us."

Wei Dazhi hummed, "Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person, but it's such a big deal, isn't it a bit too much for my mother-in-law to not know about it?"

Buying a house is a big deal. Even if it is a young couple buying a house, they cannot just let Mr. Li know without letting Mrs. Li know.

Zhang Yu thought about it and said, "I'm worried that if Li's mother finds out, Li Juan will also know about it. You know that."

Wei Dazhi thought about it and it made sense. Just like Li Juan, she keeps saying she has no money. If she had bought fewer clothes these years, she could have bought a house.

"Forget it, it's their family affair." Wei Dazhi was too lazy to talk about it. "So, are you planning to renovate the house?"

"Yes, only after renovation can you rent it out at a good price. Otherwise, the house will look gray and people who want to rent it will think it's not a good place."

Moreover, Zhang Yu really wants to complain about the layout of the houses now. If the location of the house is not good, she really doesn’t want to buy it.

Mr. Li and his family were worried for a long time, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they found that there was no reaction from Mother Li.

Brother Li was lying on the bed. "How come Li Juan's mother-in-law has so much money?"

Mrs. Li was also very puzzled. "The person who sold the house to us also said that she had already bought several houses in that community." She also couldn't understand.

"You can't live on your brother-in-law's father's salary alone." Brother Li really couldn't understand it. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I remember Li Juan mentioned before that her mother-in-law said that her father's generation was a bodyguard."

"Do you think she has money?" Brother Li thought about it and felt that this was very likely. "Otherwise, there is no way to explain how they have money."

Mrs. Li opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief, "No way." If this is really the case, "Tell me, if Li Juan knew about this, would she be furious?"

As for this, Brother Li knew a little about Li Juan. "Of course, but she always looked down on others."

"Especially since she always looked down on her mother-in-law, otherwise she wouldn't have had this attitude even after knowing that she bought a house." Brother Li really couldn't understand Li Juan's mind.

"Forget it, let's not tell her. Even if she knows, she will keep asking questions." Brother Li didn't want to remind Li Juan.

"I know my sister very well. It's my duty to help her. If you don't help her, it's your fault. So, don't worry about her." When Brother Li mentioned this sister, his face was full of disgust. Sister Li certainly didn't want Li Juan to become rich. Once she had some money, she would show off. Even if she was relatively polite to her now, she knew that she actually looked down on her.

Once she has money, she will just feel that the money was originally given to her, so in that case, why bother to remind her.

Brother Li hummed, "Take a rest. Now that we have bought a house, we have rented it out."

He yawned and said, "I've been thinking a lot these days. Salaries are going up, prices are rising, and money is not worth much if I keep it in the bank. I might as well buy a house."

"We can rent this house for seven or eight years and get our rent money back." Brother Li had just wanted to prepare a wedding house for his son, but he didn't expect to get such a surprise.

Since it is more cost-effective than depositing money in the bank, he thought about investing more money in it.

Mrs. Li certainly has no problem with that. "When I get old, even if my children are not filial, I don't have to worry."

Zhang Yu had no idea at all. It was just a chance encounter when they were looking at a house. She said that casually, and it made Li Juan's brother and sister-in-law particularly interested in buying a house.

Time flies, and it is now the 1990s. Although housing prices have not yet risen as wildly as in later generations, the rising trend of housing prices has exceeded the wage growth rate.

What made everyone even more upset was that there was a rumor spreading that the welfare housing distribution would be cancelled. As soon as this rumor came out, it caused an uproar and there were all kinds of discussions.

However, for the courtyard house where Zhang Yu lived before, although there was some shock, after all, the welfare housing distribution was cancelled and one of the few welfare benefits of state-owned enterprises was cancelled. Everyone just discussed it for a while and then did what they had to do.

The shock was even greater after learning that Zhang Yu and Wei Dazhi actually owned three houses, one of which was an apartment building, and the other was a house in a tenement yard that they had bought. After some renovation, they were easily rented out for fifty yuan.

After all, who could have thought that the two old guys were so wealthy? This would be a bigger blow to the middle-aged and even young people. Could they be worse than an old man?

In the past, after get off work, people either played chess and chatted or joked around. Now, everyone is busy looking for work. Those with skills help to make money with their skills, and those without skills buy a tricycle and go to the bus station or the mall to pick up work.

Especially the old man and son-in-law of Aunt Jiang, both opened a restaurant. The booming business was even more stimulating. Those with quick minds would directly purchase goods and then ship them to Beijing for sale, or they would buy some small items and sell them in the factory area and the family quarters.

It can be said that the atmosphere of the entire courtyard has changed. Fewer people are chatting, and even if they do chat occasionally, the topics are always about money. After the gossip spreads, the topic of discussion becomes where to buy a house.

Although Wei Jiang's skills are not as good as Wei Dazhi's and he has not retired yet, his craft is pretty good after all. Knowing that the old men are cruel and will not help much, he goes to work in the township enterprises on weekends and earns a good income.

Feng Xia used to help her parents' side occasionally, but she found that her brother's side was a big pit. Plus, the neighbors around her were all working hard to make money, especially since her husband had to go out to work on weekends, so she didn't dare to help her parents' side. Therefore, Wei Jiang's family's savings have increased a lot in recent years.

But Wei Chi has reached the age to get married, so of course they have to go out and buy a house, at least to buy a wedding house for their son. Originally, they wanted to wait for the machinery factory to allocate houses, but now they don’t have to wait anymore and the couple plans to buy a house.

In the past two years, Wei Jiang has made use of his writing skills to continuously submit articles. At first they were short stories, and later they were novels. Although he is not very famous, at least the royalties he earns are more than what he earns from his job.

After knowing that Wei Jiang was also planning to buy a house, he also had the same idea.
