There is a telephone at home. My second brother called back at noon today and told Mom about it. He was there and heard it too.

"My second brother and his family want to buy a house?" Xu Yaoguo asked in surprise.

"Yes, they called back at noon today and said that they've found everything, but they don't have enough money," Aunt Wang Fang added.

Xu Yaoguo frowned as if he had just thought of something, and looked at his mother, saying, "Does my second brother want to borrow money from us?"

My wife is now making some money in business, and my second brother and his wife already knew about it when they came back for the Chinese New Year.

If it weren't for the fact that neither of them were very good at cooking, it seems they would have liked to cook along with them, judging from their words at the time.

No, "They wanted to borrow from me and your dad, but I didn't agree immediately. I just said I'd think about it."

Although their children are working, and even if they have saved money, it's their retirement money. Buying a house will cost a lot, and Wang Fen is still considering it.

I also need to discuss this with my spouse.

"How much does he want to borrow?" Xu Zhenglin asked his wife.

"They said it was five thousand, but the house costs more than seven thousand. They have to rent a place and raise several children. Even if they have savings, they don't have much. They said they wanted to borrow from us first and pay us back slowly later," Wang Fang said while eating.

Xu Zhenglin's face darkened. "Over seven thousand, and he's asking for five thousand right off the bat. My fifth son isn't married yet, and my sixth son is in college. Where are we going to get that much money to lend them?"

"We've given them all the money. What will happen when the fifth brother gets married? And what about the sixth brother?"

"That's what I thought of too, which is why I didn't agree to their request. I just said I'd discuss it with you first."

Wang Fang had certainly thought of these things as well. Besides, their savings weren't much, and their children's weddings and marriages would cost money.

Even if I had some savings before, I don't have much left now.

Besides, she has two children who are still unmarried.

"Since we don't have money, let's continue renting. We don't have any money; we're saving it for our fifth and sixth sons to get married in the future."

"If you think renting a place outside is too expensive, then go back home to live. It's not like there aren't rooms available for them at home."

Their house has six rooms. Originally, it actually had four, but later, because they had several more children, they separated the two larger rooms in half, so the house still has enough rooms.

The third and fourth sons are all married, so the eldest son's family occupies two rooms, he and his wife share one, and there are three rooms left in the house.

The fifth and sixth brothers don't come back often either. If they did come back to stay, there's enough room at home.

"Okay, then next time they call back, I'll have a good talk with them."

Shen Jingyue ate her meal quietly to the side. After finishing, she sat and chatted with them for a while, until it got dark outside.

Shen Jingyue then suggested that she should go back first.

"Then let your cousin take you home. It's a bit chaotic outside at night, and it's not safe for a woman like you to walk alone," Wang Fang said.

"Yes, I have a bicycle at home. I'll take you back to the hotel." Xu Yaoguo stood up.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, cousin."

The family saw Shen Jingyue to the door and only closed the door after she came downstairs.

Xu Yaoguo escorted Shen Jingyue to the hotel entrance before returning home.

After entering the hotel, Shen Jingyue planned to go upstairs.

Then I saw two people in front of me arguing about something.

"Boss Li, you can't do this. You were the one who asked for that house in the first place, which is why I kept it. Now you're saying you don't want it anymore. How am I supposed to explain this to people?"

The man spoke Mandarin, and you could tell from his accent that he was a local from Guangzhou.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm really short on cash right now. How about this, you tell them to wait for me for a little over a month, and I'll buy it when I have some money."

"Otherwise, you'll have to find someone else. I have no other choice, so please don't make things difficult for me."

"You should talk to them properly first. If they're willing, I'll definitely buy it when I have the money. Let's leave it at that for now. I'm so tired. I haven't had much rest since yesterday. Don't stop me."

With that, the person walked past the man and left.

The man didn't stop them, but his expression was rather unpleasant, and he looked somewhat dejected.

"How am I supposed to explain this to people?" he muttered to himself, and then turned to walk outside.

Shen Jingyue was not far away, and she had just heard what the two of them were saying.

After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and asked.

"Brother, were you just talking about selling a house?"

The man stopped when he heard her question, looking at her curiously. "Yes, why are you asking that?"

"I'd like to ask what kind of house it is, and how much it costs?"

Shen Jingyue was just asking; she was thinking that if she brought the children here to play during the summer vacation, it would be nice to have a place to stay.

However, we still need to check the house itself and whether the price is suitable.

She doesn't actually have much money on hand right now.

But that didn't stop her from asking.

"Hey beautiful, are you thinking of buying a house?"

Seeing how detailed her questions were, the man's previously listless expression immediately brightened into a radiant smile.

"I'm just asking. If I like the house and the price is right, I might consider it."

"Hey beautiful, let me tell you, this house is really nice. It's in a great location, close to both the school and the factory. If you're interested, I can take you to see it tomorrow if you have time."

"And the price is very affordable, only a little over seven thousand."

When Shen Jingyue heard that it was only a little over seven thousand, she thought the price was indeed acceptable.

I just don't know how the house is.

"How about it, pretty girl? How about I take you to see her tomorrow?"

The man was a little nervous. If the other person hadn't been in a hurry to sell the house and move to Hong Kong, he wouldn't have come to find that boss.

He can wait, but can the seller wait?

Now that a pretty young woman has finally come over and seems quite interested in the house, he's naturally eager to recommend it.

"Okay, then let's do it tomorrow afternoon. I have other things to do in the morning."

"Okay, okay, how about 1 p.m. tomorrow? I'll pick you up from the hotel then."

"OK."

After the agreement was reached, the man left happily.

Shen Jingyue also went upstairs to her room.

The next day, Shen Jingyue, Xia Lin, and the other two had breakfast outside and then went directly to the factory.

Shen Jingyue wanted a lot of items, both spring and summer styles.

The deputy factory manager warmly received the three of them, helping them select styles, check fabrics, and place orders, keeping them busy for several hours.

Finally, I've placed all the orders I needed.

Some items need to be prepared by the factory before they can be shipped, but Shen Jingyue and her family had already placed an order for the spring collection, and this batch of goods will be shipped to them in a few days.
