Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1402 Lazy Wife 19
The second wife had always been proud of not having to spend extra money to build a house. She thought that it was good that her family had only boys and they could all sleep together. She didn't have to worry like the first wife, who had to worry about having both girls and boys squeezed together and it would be inconvenient. She also didn't have to spend money to build another house like the third wife did. There were only three boys in their family, so it was convenient for them to sleep together and they didn't have to build a new house. How great was that.

As a result, within two years, they were no longer happy.

Because just two years after the new house was built, news came from above that a road would be built directly leading to the village, and the location would be right where they were.

In order to build the road, the houses on both sides of the road need to be demolished, and the families whose houses are to be demolished will be compensated in a certain way.

The first and third bedrooms both have houses, so they will naturally receive demolition compensation; the second bedroom has no house, only a foundation, so they will not receive demolition compensation. Well, that’s not to say that there will be no compensation at all, there will be some - they will be given a new foundation that is larger than the original foundation - but compared with the compensation given to the first and third bedrooms, it is completely not enough.

Although the people from the second and third rooms asked the people from the first and third rooms how much money they got, they didn't say, but based on the compensation given by the old couple for the house, they could guess how much the first and third rooms got.

The compensation conditions for the old couple's house are that, in addition to being given a larger new foundation like they did, they will also be compensated with twice the price of building such a house nowadays, and a quota for the whole family to transfer from rural to non-rural status.

In this era, there are still benefits for farmers to change to non-agricultural jobs. There are various preferential policies, needless to say, let’s just talk about price compensation.

Nowadays, building a house like the Sanfangjia house costs at least five thousand yuan - because in recent years, both labor and material prices have risen. It was cheap when they built it because Chen Lei built the house himself and hardly hired anyone. If he had hired someone to do it, the price would have been high back then. After a few years, it is normal to charge five thousand yuan to hire someone to build a house.

And if the price was double, that means they got 10,000 yuan!

Even though it has been five years since the 10,000 yuan household was no longer popular, 10,000 yuan was still not a small sum, because nowadays, the average person can only earn about 100 yuan a month, and it would take the average person five to ten years to save 10,000 yuan! How could the second wife be calm?

But if they can't calm down, there's nothing we can do about it since it's their fault for not building the house.

Fortunately, the old couple had 12,000 yuan, so they could get some of it.

Although the old couple's house is a five-room tiled house, it is not as luxurious as Linlang's house, so the value of one house is only 6,000 yuan, and double compensation is 12,000 yuan.

In addition, the old couple can change their agricultural status to non-agricultural status - because there are only the old couple in their household registration book, and the other three sons have moved out independently, so they are the only ones who can change their agricultural status to non-agricultural status.

The old couple wanted to change their rural household registration to non-rural household registration, after all, urban household registration still offers various benefits. But Linlang said that the benefits of changing from rural household registration to non-rural household registration are getting less and less, so it would be better not to change and just use this to ask for more benefits from the government.

Linlang knew that there would be no benefit in converting from farmers to non-farmers in the future, so she advised the old couple in this way.

Although Chen's father had a bad impression of Linlang because of the family division, and always felt that she was the first to have an affair and caused the family division, they still believed in her vision.

So after some hesitation, they did not happily take the quota of rural-to-urban conversion like other people whose houses were demolished on both sides of the road, and became urban residents. Instead, they told the officials that they did not want to be converted to urban residents, and asked if they could be given other compensation. In the end, they gave another 1,000 yuan as compensation.

In this way, the old couple had 14,000 yuan in their hands.

The first and third bedrooms are better off, but the second bedroom is really coveting the 14,000 yuan because the old house was demolished and they have no place to live, so they have to build a new house.

Although they have saved a lot of money by doing manual labor with Linlang in the past few years, and naturally have the money to build a house, but if the house can be built with the money of the old couple, who would want to build a house with their own money?

But, is Father Chen the kind of fool who would give all his money to his sons before he dies, and would wait for his sons to give him money and look at their faces when he runs out of money?
How is that possible! Father Chen is very smart. It can be seen from the fact that he never split up the family before. He just wants to hold everything in his hands until he can't hold it anymore.

Therefore, he was destined not to give the 14,000 yuan to the second wife, even though his house was built with the whole family's money. Logically, the money from the demolition should be distributed to several families, but Chen's father just refused to share it, and others could do nothing about it.

The second room did quarrel a few times, but since the first and third rooms did not quarrel, it was useless for their family to quarrel.

However, the second wife did not lose her house because the old couple later used the money to rebuild a set of five large tiled houses just like the first wife, and the second wife could still choose to live in one of the five large tiled houses.

The second wife thought that she had a son and could squeeze in, so she didn't build a house. Instead, she chose to keep the money in the bank. After all, bank interest rates are frighteningly high now. The interest rate for an eight-year certificate of deposit is as high as 18%. If they put the 5,000 yuan they had for building a house in the bank, they would get 900 yuan in interest a year, which is equivalent to doing nothing and getting 75 yuan a month. Who would be willing to use the money?

Even Chen's father was reluctant to do so.

Although he is an elderly person, he also knows that the current deposit interest rate is high, so he also wants to deposit his money in the bank to earn more interest.

So in order to save money, he built a new tiled house, which was still the same as before, except for the main hall, which was not cemented. He then asked his sons to help with the construction, and it only cost him four thousand yuan to complete it. He saved the remaining ten thousand yuan for eight years.

Ten thousand yuan, with a monthly interest of one hundred and fifty yuan, is higher than the salary of some people working as waiters in towns or cities. Is this bad? Of course, I can't spend it or divide it among my sons.

Then he felt that the third wife was too wasteful, as she actually used the money to buy a shabby house in the city.

Such a shabby house actually costs three thousand yuan, which is not cost-effective - in fact, it would be cheaper if Linlang bought a small house like before, but this time Linlang bought a house with a house and a yard in the countryside, which covers a large area, so it must cost three thousand yuan. After all, it has been five years now, and the price of ordinary houses has increased a lot, not to mention this kind of house with a house and a yard, which has increased even more. And the price is in the city center, how can it be bought without three thousand yuan.

You know, in the past two years, some old houses in the city center have been demolished and new buildings have begun to be built. Some families have already thought that the old houses are treasures and can be demolished, so the housing prices have naturally risen.

But compared with the future, this is nothing. Three thousand yuan is still not high, so Linlang naturally bought it quickly.
