70: 70 Going to the City to Shop (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

Su Old Guaizi found it hard to fathom Su Xiaofeng’s thoughts, “Xiaofeng, you’re saying we should redo our family’s house?”

The house was already very old and basically unsalvageable unless it was completely rebuilt.

He Ximei also didn’t understand what Xiaofeng meant, her eyes fixed on her, mind whirling with thoughts.

“Dad, although Uncle agreed to sell us their land, to be honest, I also don’t dare to use it.

What if we build halfway and they want it back?

By then, I bet the new house we built would become theirs.”

Over the years, Su Guisheng had caused trouble, taking advantage of her father’s good-natured ways.

So, if possible, it was best to avoid any entanglements with Su Guisheng.

“Xiaofeng’s got a point.

When it comes to Guisheng’s family, they can turn on you faster than flipping through a book.” When He Ximei heard Xiaofeng, she also thought of this, “But if we are to fix the old house, where would our family of four live?

We can’t just live outside, can we?”

“Auntie,” Su Xiaofeng spoke slowly, “I heard that in the city now, you can buy an apartment for just over ten thousand yuan.”

He Ximei’s mouth fell open at Xiaofeng’s words.

What did Xiaofeng mean by this?

The family isn’t building a new house, but considering buying one in the city?

“If it’s just an ordinary old house, it wouldn’t cost over ten thousand.” Su Old Guaizi, who often did odd jobs here and there, had a clear understanding of the local market, “We’re country folk born and bred.

Moving to the city isn’t really a solution.”

At home, he could still pick up occasional work, but what would he do in the city?

Surely, they couldn’t just live off the compensation money for the rest of their lives.

“Dad, aren’t you aware of the times we’re living in?

Do you still think it’s like the past when us farmers would starve if we left the land?” That’s why those who dare to venture into business in this era end up wealthy.

The reason lies here: many people don’t want to leave the familiarity of the countryside, are afraid to take that first step, and all the more, to be that pioneer.

“Xiaofeng,” He Ximei was somewhat flustered, “Your dad can’t do jobs that require agility or heavy lifting, Pengzi might be strong, but who would want to hire someone who isn’t sharp?

As for me, these years I’ve done nothing but tend to chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, and the garden.

If we really moved to the city, what would we all live on?”

In the countryside, even without an income, you could grow your own grain and such; you wouldn’t starve at least.

“Dad, Auntie, even if we buy there, we don’t necessarily have to live there right now.

I’m thinking, life is sure to get better and better in the future.

Once life is good, maybe every household will want to buy a house in the city.

By then, the property prices will definitely be high, and we may not even be able to afford it.”

Was it easy for her?

To persuade them to buy an apartment in the city, her words were almost drying up.

Of course, the city wasn’t her final goal; her aim was to accumulate wealth and buy wherever she desired.

“But if we suddenly buy a house, the villagers will definitely wonder where we got the money from.” Normally the poorest family in the village, if they suddenly bought a house in the city, it would surely cause a stir when the villagers found out.

“That’s simple,” said Xiaofeng, “just say it’s rented.

Say we need to fix the old house, so we’ll live in the city temporarily.

Once the old house is done, if you don’t want to live in the city, you can always come back.”

Now’s the time to buy; in two years, it won’t be at this price anymore.

“Guaizi,” He Ximei was tempted, thinking if they had a house in the city, maybe it would be easier to find a wife for Pengzi in the future, “How about we listen to Xiaofeng and buy an apartment in the city?”

Su Old Guaizi reached for his rolling paper out of habit and realized he still couldn’t smoke due to his injury, “Alright then, money is dead as long as it’s just sitting there; it becomes wealth when it’s put to use.”

Implicitly, if no one else had objections, they would go ahead and buy.
