Get rich quick starting with buying a house with zero down payment

Chapter 42: Opportunities to Get Rich Quick Also Lie Hidden in My Hometown County

And this was just the beginning. He knew that 2004 would be the real start of the frenzy. He had to lay more pieces and stockpile more ammunition before then.

The plane landed at Bao'an Airport. The winter sun in Shenzhen brought a touch of warmth, a stark contrast to the chilly atmosphere of Mingzhou.

Without notifying anyone, Lei Guoliang took a taxi back to his and Ji Fanyin's home in Phase 3 of Nanshan Future Coast.

The moment I opened the door, a familiar atmosphere greeted me. The room was clean and warm, the balcony was teeming with life, and the aroma of soup wafted from the kitchen.

Ji Fanyin ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron. When she saw him, her eyes lit up instantly, as if they were filled with stars.

"Brother Lei! You're back! Why didn't you tell me beforehand so I could pick you up!"

She jogged over, naturally took the luggage from his hands, looked up at him, her eyes filled with undisguised joy and longing.

It had been almost two months since he last saw her. She seemed to have become even more beautiful and her demeanor more composed, but in his presence, she was still the little girl who relied on him wholeheartedly.

"I wanted to give you a surprise." Lei Guoliang looked into her bright eyes, and a slight feeling of relief stirred within him.

He reached out and ruffled her hair: "What delicious food did you make? It smells so good."

"I've made chicken soup, and I'll stir-fry a few of your favorite dishes. Go wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon!" Ji Fanyin pushed him to the bathroom, then slipped back into the kitchen, her steps light and quick.

The food, though simple and homely, was more comforting than any delicacy. During the meal, Ji Fanyin chattered on about the recent situation at Shenzhen Company.

Which apartment changed tenants, which tenant was troublesome, she hired two new people, and the second-hand housing business started to pick up... trivial matters, but full of the warmth and life of everyday life.

Lei Guoliang listened quietly, occasionally placing a piece of food on her plate. This simple warmth was the deepest comfort in his heart as he fought and schemed outside.

Ji Fanyin was his support, his anchor, clean and pure, making him believe that there was still a soft spot on this cold journey of rebirth.

"By the way, Sister Su called me a few days ago to ask when you're coming back."

Ji Fanyin suddenly said, winking, "She seems to care about you a lot."

Lei Guoliang paused slightly in his chopsticks, his expression unchanged: "Yes, things have just started in Hangzhou, there's a lot going on."

"Sister Shen Mo also sent an email reporting on the situation in Yangcheng, which I forwarded to you," Ji Fanyin said casually, seemingly without any sense that there was anything wrong with mentioning these women at the same time.

In her simple understanding, these were all capable older sisters who helped Brother Lei.

"I understand." Lei Guoliang nodded, but a strange feeling flickered in his heart. Ji Fanyin's naivety and complete trust sometimes made him feel like a bastard.

But he quickly suppressed this feeling. Having been reborn, he had already decided not to be bound by any single emotion anymore.

He wants Ji Fanyin, he wants Su Wanqing, Shen Mo is both an accident and a bond, and there may be others in the future.

As long as they are willing, each gets what they want, and they don't interfere with each other, that's the cold rule he can set for this complicated relationship.

After dinner, Ji Fanyin cleared the dishes, and Lei Guoliang went to the balcony to smoke. Night fell, and the lights of Shenzhen gradually came on. Suddenly, his phone rang.

Lei Guoliang took out his phone and saw that the caller ID was actually a landline number from his hometown. This landline number really belonged to his older sister.

When Lei Guoliang was twenty, his mother passed away. When he was twenty-two, his father also passed away. Although he had an older brother and sister-in-law, he had some conflicts with them after his father's death.

Although they didn't completely fall out and become enemies, their relationship is unlikely to ever return to what it was before.

The reason was actually very simple: his older brother and sister-in-law had long since separated from their parents and lived separately. Lei Guoliang's older brother was a full twelve years older than him.

My father is getting old, so my older brother and sister-in-law have taken over the farming. They give my father 800 jin of rice every year, and Lei Guoliang provides him with living expenses, including medical expenses when he is sick.

Before his father passed away, he handed over the remaining three thousand yuan in savings to Lei Guoliang, and the savings account was opened in Lei Guoliang's name.

However, my father was a boastful man. He often told the old people in the village how filial his son was, how much money he sent back home every month for him to spend, and how he could not spend it all and had saved two or three thousand yuan.

When this reached her sister-in-law's ears, she said that this was their father's inheritance and should be divided equally.

What does this money have to do with my brother and sister-in-law?

But my sister-in-law said that before my brother got married, he had handed over all the money he earned to our parents.

That's a bit unreasonable. Lei Guoliang isn't even married yet! When his brother and sister-in-law got married, it cost seven or eight thousand yuan. Why don't you mention that seven or eight thousand yuan was in the late 1980s?

Moreover, my parents helped a lot when my brother and sister-in-law built their house, not to mention helping them take care of their children.

Although Lei Guoliang was very unhappy, he didn't care about the three thousand yuan. It was just half a month's salary for him, so he didn't want to argue with his sister-in-law over it.

His older sisters also advised him that it was not worth causing a rift between his brothers over such a small amount of money, and making him a laughingstock in the village.

It's okay to suffer a little loss. Even though you're doing well outside, you still need to come back and have a place to stay. If you have a falling out with your brother and sister-in-law, you won't even have a place to stay when you come back for the New Year.

However, the bond between the brothers eventually cracked.

Besides his older brother, he also has four older sisters, the youngest of whom is four years older than Lei Guoliang. The birth of Lei Guoliang by his parents was a complete accident.

Lei Guoliang's mother originally wanted to have an abortion. She went to the county hospital, waited in line, and registered. When it was almost her turn, she got scared, dared not have the abortion, and ran back.

That's how Lei Guoliang came to be. But if his mother had been a little bolder, there wouldn't be any Lei Guoliang left!

Although the older sister's family has a telephone, the siblings rarely contact each other. Unless it's something important, the older sister won't call first.

Firstly, long-distance calls across provinces are expensive. The cost of a single call could buy several kilograms of meat. I don't know if it's 1.5 yuan or 2 yuan per minute.

Secondly, the eldest sister was much older than Lei Guoliang, more than ten years older! When Lei Guoliang was six or seven years old, the eldest sister got married.

Although they are siblings, there is an age gap between them, and they don't have much to talk about after talking on the phone for a long time.

Moreover, the older sister is stingy with phone bills. Whether it's her own or her brother's, if you call home for no reason, she won't be happy; instead, she'll scold you and tell you to hang up.

Even if his older sister didn't have to pay for the electricity, he didn't want to waste his younger brother's phone bill. He wanted him to say what he needed to say quickly and hang up immediately afterward; idle chatter was out of the question.

"Big sister!" Lei Guoliang answered the phone.

"Guoliang, you bought a house in the county town for 6 yuan. Didn't you say you wanted to buy a house in the county town? Do you want to come back and take a look?" the older sister said.

"After your father passed away, all the old houses in the village were about to collapse. Since you don't want to build a house in the village for the time being, it would be good to buy a house in the city so that you'll have a place to stay when you come back for the New Year."

Zhengchang's full name is Lei Zhengchang, and he is Lei Zhenliang's second nephew.

Besides his older brother, Lei Zhenliang also had an older brother who passed away when he was seven or eight years old.

Because she died in the line of duty, the organization arranged a job for her sister-in-law, and her two nephews each received a monthly pension of 24 yuan until they turned 18.

Later, my sister-in-law remarried, and she took her two nephews to the city to study.

The eldest brother is the real boss, 20 years older than Lei Guoliang.

So the eldest brother's two sons, the eldest is only a few months younger than Lei Guoliang, and the second son is only two years younger.

Lei Guoliang suddenly remembered that his second nephew had indeed bought a house in the county town around this time, spending 6 yuan.

A year later, when Lei Guoliang went back home for the Chinese New Year, he heard from his second nephew, Lei Zhengchang, that in just one year, the price of a house that originally cost 6 yuan had risen to 12 yuan.

He was filled with regret. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have borrowed money and sold everything he owned to buy another set.

Moreover, they are available at a price but not in stock; even if you have the money, you can't buy them.
