Chapter 123 Inappropriate

Kato's mother's thoughts are not snobbery, but the normal thoughts of living in an international metropolis like Tokyo.

What's more, Tokyo's high cost of living, high prices, and high housing prices... have always been at the top of the rankings of major cities in the world and have never changed.

In Tokyo, many young and middle-aged people, both men and women, are dressed fashionably and look like rich people, but they have no money at all.

Naturally, the house they live in is not their own, but rented.The space of a house rented by one person is generally small, less than [-] square meters.

If the house exceeds [-] square meters, it is either shared by N people, or it is in a remote location, old house, and noisy (either next to a railway, airport, etc., or there is a subway passing under the house)... In short, at least [-]% of the house will be occupied. There are two or three disadvantages involved.

Otherwise, if you want to rent a house for less than 8 yen per month in Tokyo, it will be impossible in all likelihood.Therefore, it is too common for many people to rent a house for their whole life.

Although housing prices in Tokyo are not as outrageous as during Japan's bubble economy era, they are still not cheap. For ordinary young people in Japan today, buying a house is almost impossible.

It’s sheer nonsense to say that Japanese people don’t like buying houses but prefer renting.The main reason for this is that most of them simply cannot afford it.

Furthermore, when Japanese young people not only buy houses, but also when they need to spend more money such as getting married or buying a car, their parents who have financial resources will provide financial support.

It is said that when Japanese parents give money to their children, according to Japanese law, they have to pay taxes and so on. Although it is not pure nonsense, it is also in name only.

There are only a few people from the Japanese Tax Bureau, are they too busy to come here?Instead of wasting their time staring at the common people, they would be better off staring at the rich.As a result, rich people have many ways to avoid taxes in various reasonable ways.

If this relevant Japanese law is really implemented, Japan will not become a country with a rigid society from the bottom up.

More and more Japanese people, especially ordinary Japanese young people, have already looked away.If you are born without it, you will most likely not have it in this life.

They would rather spend money on their hobbies or be forced to choose low desires, rather than work hard to get married and have children or a house like their parents and grandparents did, and live frugally throughout their lives.

Kato's mother wanted to know more about Kentaro Miyamoto and asked, "You also live in Shoto, Shibuya-ku?"

Kentaro Miyamoto has told the truth: "No. I live in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku District. This way it is more convenient for me to go to school."

Kato's mother asked further: "How big is the place you rent?"

Kentaro Miyamoto answered truthfully: "It's not rented, but one of my family's properties. A house of more than 300 square meters. As for how many square meters it is, I really don't know. I still need to check the real estate certificate."

Kato's mother asked in surprise: "You live alone?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "Pineapple lives with me forever. Pineapple, he is an Alaskan dog."

Kato Ayaka said in disbelief: "Only you and one dog live in a villa of more than 300 square meters?" Kentaro Miyamoto once said: "A house of more than 300 square meters is not considered a villa! I think it is bigger at best. One house built.”

Kato Ayaka was almost speechless and said: "Not one of our homes has more than 300 square meters. Not just our home, but no one in our area has more than 300 square meters. To be precise, even No one has more than 200 square meters.”

Kentaro Miyamoto reacted and said: "Our family comes from a background of construction work. One of the occupational diseases is that in addition to doing projects for others, whenever we encounter a good piece of land, we can't help but buy it and build a house for ourselves. So, it is inevitable. It will be a little bigger.”

Kato's mother suddenly asked out of curiosity: "How big is your mansion in Shoto, Shibuya District?"

Kentaro Miyamoto thought for a moment and said: "I really don't know the usable area of ​​the house, and I have never asked. I vaguely remember that the land area is 3000 square meters, or 5000 square meters?"

The Kato family of three were immediately speechless.Apart from looking at each other in confusion, the only thing left for them was to respond to that sentence. Poverty limited their imagination.

In fact, their family is not considered poor, but belongs to the upper reaches of the middle class in Tokyo. It is something that countless people will never get, envy and yearn for after working hard all their lives.However, comparing people to each other is infuriating.

Miyamoto Kentaro noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he turned his head and looked at Kato Ayaka and said, "Is it big?"

Kato Ayaka was immediately dumbfounded and asked, "What do you think?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said matter-of-factly: "I don't think it's big! Son's villa in Shirokanedai, Port District has a land area of ​​more than 9000 square meters.

Brother Hideki, his house in Karuizawa is called a big one.Land area is not measured in square meters, but in hectares.Once you drive in, you still have to run a long way to reach the main house.

By the way, have you seen "Downton Abbey"?Its prototype is the legendary British mansion Blenheim Palace, with a land area of ​​980 hectares, or 9800000 million square meters.And there’s the ancestral home of Brother Tuozhen’s family…”

Kato Ayaka suddenly interrupted: "Who are the Hideki-nii and Takuma-nii you mentioned? This is the first time I've heard you tell them."

Kentaro Miyamoto explained: "Brother Hideki is Hideki Ishihara. You should know the Karuizawa Group! It belongs to his family. As for Brother Takuma, his full name is Mitsui Takuma.

You should have heard of the famous Mitsui family.Both of them are among Japan's top ten chaebols.There is really no comparison between my family and theirs. "

Kato’s mother, Kato’s father, and Kato Ayaka instantly became emo.They simply don't know how to answer the call.This is not a person of the same world at all.

Kato's mother thought to herself, would her daughter really be happy if she married into the Miyamoto family?Will she be bullied by the Miyamoto family?As she thought about it, she couldn't help but look at Kato's father beside her.

The message her eyes conveyed to her husband was that he was very unsuitable and that we were very unsuitable.I have also gone from being full of confidence at the beginning to being full of negative emotions now.

Kato's father understood immediately at first sight and felt that the two children were really not suitable to be together. After all, the gap was too big.The last thing he wanted to see was his daughter being played by Kentaro Miyamoto.
