Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1400 Lazy Wife 17
With a residential plot of land, Chen Lei started building a house.

With the experience of building a house last year, there will naturally be no difficulty in building a house this year.

On the other hand, the first and second wives of the Chen family saw that the third wife had just moved into the new house, and within less than a year, she was already busy building another house in preparation for dividing it out in the future. They couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking that the third wife was too fond of enjoying herself. She said that the house was too crowded and she didn't like the lack of a bathroom, so she wanted to build a new house. Even if they had money, they couldn't afford such a waste.

They did not think that Chen Lei and his wife had no money to build a house. After all, they had 500 yuan in their hands before. Now they were stringing beads. They, the couple and their child, could make 30 yuan a month, even if they were lazy. With this money, plus the money they had before, and the fact that they would definitely not build five big tiled houses, three big tiled houses would be enough for four people to live in, which would cost less than 1,000 yuan. They had enough money to build it.

Mrs. Chen felt that Linlang and her husband spent money too recklessly, and she had kindly advised her to save the money so that she could live a good life in the future. However, Linlang advised her instead, saying, "Even if you don't want to build a house, you should apply for a foundation. It's free anyway, so why not take it away?"

Linlang reminded her like this because she saw that she was kind-hearted, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to mention such an opportunity to make a fortune. After all, although the first wife did not do much to the original body, she also kept to herself and did not help the original body in the original body's world.

Considering that the other party had advised the original body not to complain about itself in the original world, Linlang now gave them a chance to make a fortune.

You know, next year, homesteads will no longer be available for free. If you want a homestead then, it can indeed be approved according to your household registration, but you have to pay for it, and it’s not a small amount, and it’s getting higher every year. In the original world, because Chen’s father separated the family many years later, homesteads were already very expensive at that time. The three families later spent a lot of money to buy the land and suffered a big loss.

When Mrs. Chen heard Linlang say this, she had an idea and thought, that's right, it's free land, why not take it? It would be a waste if she took it. So she asked her husband to apply for a piece of land from the village.

Seeing that Linlang's house was built near our new house, I thought this place was indeed convenient, and that we would live together in the future, so it would be convenient for us to do handicrafts, help each other, or even to live together in our old age. So I applied for a foundation nearby.

When the second wife saw that the first and third wives had applied for land, they followed the herd mentality and thought that they all had homesteads, so they could not be without one, so they also applied for one, also near the Chen family's new house.

Linlang felt satisfied that in this life, no one suffered the same loss as in their original world.

Linlang's house was not completed until the end of the year. The reason was very simple. Linlang did not have the 500 yuan that Dafang wanted, because she had already spent it on buying the house.

Fortunately, I have saved some money from stringing beads and renting the house since I bought it last year, so I saved money while building it, and it was finally completed before the end of the year.

Because Linlang and Chen Lei both like to live a more comfortable life, the house they built is better than the one the Chen family built last year.

The ground is all cemented, even the yard is paved with cement. On both sides of the yard, there are vegetable plots and fruit trees planted, so they can grow vegetables and pick fruits without going out.

Although the house only has three rooms, a kitchen and bathroom are built in it. The bathroom is equipped with a shower and a squat toilet, so people no longer have to go to the yard in the dark to use the toilet at night. The dry and wet areas are separated, which makes it very beautiful, just like a hotel in a big city - this is what some people who have worked in big cities and seen hotel rooms in big cities say.

In fact, the rich people in the village also built bathrooms, but they did not separate the wet and dry areas. Linlang's way of doing it is obviously more advanced.

Mrs. Chen was shocked when she saw it and said to Linlang, "How much is this going to cost you?"

Linlang said, "I just want to live more comfortably." Although the house will be demolished soon, it seems unnecessary to build it too well, but the demolition will take several years, and she doesn't want to live too poorly in the next few years.

After finally dividing up the family, we no longer have to live in the thatched hut we lived in before, nor do we have to live so crowded in the Chen family's new house, so naturally we have to make it better.

Fortunately, Chen Lei also enjoys his life and likes to live a better life, so he basically agrees to do whatever Linlang says.

He didn't doubt how Linlang knew all this. After all, they went to the city from time to time, and he actually knew about the things in the city.

However, Linlang and Chen Lei now earn a lot of money every month.

The income from the two of them stringing beads plus Chen Lei's occasional work outside is about 40 yuan - neither of them is as hard-working as Chen Dasao and Chen Ersao's family, and they don't ask the children to help string beads, so the couple can only make 40 yuan a month.

But Linlang and Chen Lei still have rental income.

A year later, the rent for a house like theirs in the city center has risen to seven dollars a month.

This is normal. Prices are rising very fast now. Not to mention a new price every year, sometimes it changes every month or even less. So the rent that was only $4.5 a month last year is now $7 a month. This is normal.

Her price has been increasing slowly, but other people's prices were the same three months ago.

Linlang usually waits until everyone around her has raised their rent before she raises her own, to avoid tenants thinking she’s asking for too much.

When other tenants have raised their rents, she will talk to her tenants about the rent increase. If the tenants don't like her rent increase, they can rent from other houses. Then they will go to other houses to ask, and when they find that the prices are higher than Linlang's - other houses had the same price three months ago, and after three months, the price will naturally be different again, even higher - in the end they will continue to rent a house from Linlang.

Linlang had a good idea. Although she raised the rent, the tenant from last year did not leave and still rented Linlang's house.

Not only that, Linlang inquired about the surrounding housing prices, and found that the housing prices had indeed increased as she had expected. Now a house like the one Linlang bought costs 600 yuan, and no one is willing to sell it for less than 600 yuan.

This is normal, as time goes by, these things will become more and more expensive.

In this way, not to mention the extra hundred yuan from the house, just the rent and the income from bead stringing, Linlang and his wife's monthly income is nearly fifty yuan, which is a lot in the countryside. After all, most people don't make twenty yuan a month. The reason for this is that in the countryside, in a family of four, only the husband is the labor force and the wife is a complete housewife. There are too few places to make money in the countryside, and earning twenty yuan a month is already amazing.

She can earn fifty yuan a month, and after deducting the twenty yuan or so for food and drink expenses, she can probably save three or four hundred yuan a year. Linlang is thinking about buying another house in two years.

Then she will go to the city center and buy another dilapidated house like this, and wait for it to be demolished in the future.
