Chapter 234 Talking to her about buying a house
Originally, the idea of buying a house was just a casual thought and a casual mention, but after talking to his uncle, he found it to be a real possibility.
He wants to get married soon, so he really should think about the wedding house. He can't really live here to get married, can he?
This old house is small and cramped.
Connecting the two sets would be a bigger deal, but there's no guarantee that the Pan family won't cause trouble later.
After much thought, Fu Huaiyi concluded that they really couldn't stay here for long.
After returning home, he discussed it with Lin Yuyao, saying that he wanted to buy a house in a new residential area near a nearby school as their future wedding home, and asked her what she thought.
Lin Yuyao was somewhat bewildered by the unexpected further advance.
"You haven't even come to my house to propose yet, and my parents haven't said they agree. What if it doesn't work out if we buy a house now?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." What if it doesn't work?
"There's no chance of anything going wrong, it'll definitely work."
Lin Yuyao's lips twitched, and she said, "Why don't we wait a little longer, until you go to my house and meet my parents?"
"That's too late."
He turned around and rummaged through a stack of newspapers, finding the advertisement for the neighborhood that had been placed there and putting it in front of him.
"Look, this newspaper was published during the Chinese New Year. It says when it goes on sale." He did some calculations and said, "There are still eight days. Eight days isn't enough time for me to take leave and go to your house to propose again. If you like it, let's buy it first. What do you think?"
What if we can't make it work?
Fu Huaiyi: "..." He just didn't like hearing that. Why did she always say it was impossible?
There's nothing he can't do; he's sure to succeed, and if it doesn't work, he can make it work.
"If that doesn't work out, I'd also like to buy in that neighborhood. There's a school next door, so it'll be convenient for my child to go to school in the future."
Well... then she has nothing to say.
"You're off the day after tomorrow, so I'll try to leave work early and we can go check it out beforehand."
Lin Yuyao suddenly remembered that the house Zhou Jing mentioned buying was also near this neighborhood, but she wondered if it was this house.
"alright."
I'll ask Zhou Jing about it tomorrow.
He was relieved to see that she had agreed to Fu Huaiyi's request.
They were never meant to be, it was all because he was shameless and persistent.
I thought to myself, we already have a wedding house, so it would be unreasonable for you to say something like, "What if it doesn't work out?"
……
The next day, Lin Yuyao took the newspaper to ask Zhou Jing about it.
After looking at it, Zhou Jing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this is the neighborhood. I've checked everything. Once I pay the money, I can get the house. I'll renovate it and try to move in before the start of the next semester."
Lin Yuyao asked in surprise, "So rushed?"
“I didn’t want to rush things, but I don’t want to stay there for even a day longer.”
Her mother-in-law lives downstairs; they see each other every day.
When her husband was home, the old lady behaved herself a little better.
Once her husband leaves, who knows what kind of trouble her mother-in-law will cause over buying a house.
Besides, she didn't want to keep arguing with them and become a laughing stock among the neighbors.
Her mother-in-law is shameless, but she still has a sense of shame.
"Yuyao, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I'd like to go and see too."
Zhou Jing looked delighted. "You want to buy one too? That's perfect! Let's buy them together."
"No, no, not necessarily. I'm just asking. I'll go check it out tomorrow when I'm off work. If it's too expensive, I can't afford it."
"Oh, that's not cheap. I asked around, and the price is around 300 to 400 yuan per square meter. The smallest is 38 yuan, and the largest is 118 yuan. The larger the unit, the cheaper it is."
Zhou Jing introduced her to the basic information about the community.
She stared at the houses in this residential complex, the first commercial housing complex in Chenshan Town.
It's called a residential complex, but it's actually just two buildings with a few parking spaces between them, and a main gate at the front and back.
The back gate of the residential complex is right next to the school gate, which is very convenient.
She bought this house to be away from her mother-in-law and for the convenience of her child's schooling.
Lin Yuyao had actually passed by that neighborhood, but she didn't know there were any new houses for sale there, so she didn't look closely.
Thinking about buying a house, she even calculated how much money she had.
If it's for buying a house for marriage, then he shouldn't be the only one paying for it.
The two of us can make do and buy a bigger one, then put both our names on it.
At that time, the houses did not have shared area, and the largest one was 118 square meters, which was a real 118 square meters.
They don't necessarily have to buy the 118-square-meter apartment, but they should at least buy one that's 110 square meters or larger, which would probably have three or four rooms, enough to create a study for her to use for writing and storing books.
When she agreed to go with him, she had already begun to take it seriously; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed.
In the afternoon, she received another call from the publisher, saying that they were going to hold a book signing event.
There are two options. One is to have her sign a batch of books and send them to major bookstores for sale.
Secondly, they need her to be present at a live book signing event to see what she plans to do.
Lin Yuyao thought about it and realized that she didn't have that much fame yet, so she decided to skip the event.
Everyone's busy. It would be so awkward if only a few people showed up.
Moreover, she has some social anxiety and doesn't want to show her face.
"I'll sign it and then sell it."
"Okay, then I'll have them bring the books over to you."
"That's too much trouble. How about I go to the publisher to sign it when I have some free time?"
"It's no trouble, it's all the same. If you come to the publishing house, you'll have to bring the books over too. In fact, the publishing house's factory is closer to your location."
Hearing her say that, Lin Yuyao didn't refuse anymore.
"Okay, how about 6 PM the day after tomorrow, and take it to the backyard of the bookstore?"
"it is good."
After agreeing on a signing time, Song Qin told her that the copyright fee would be settled and she would receive the withdrawal slip in the next few days.
Lin Yuyao was worried that she wouldn't have enough money to buy a big house, but this is great! With more money, she'll be more confident in buying a big house.
She was planning to buy a big house once she got the money. Should she tell her family about such a big thing?
Just as I was thinking this, I received a phone call from home.
They generally don't call the bookstore on their own initiative, because answering the phone at that time would cost money.
They knew that the bookstore owner was paying for Lin Yuyao's phone calls, and the owner was too embarrassed to charge Lin Yuyao separately, so the calls were free.
But you can't always take advantage of others.
So, unless there's an emergency at home.
What she worried about most at home was that her eldest brother had escaped the coal mine collapse.
If I think about it, it seems to be the most recent time.
But she had asked before and found out that her older brother and sister-in-law had found jobs in Chongqing and had settled down.
If he avoided the coal mine collapse, could he also avoid death?
Hearing her mother's voice from the other end, Lin Yuyao's heart tightened for no reason.
"Mom, why... are you calling me at this hour?"
Her voice trembled slightly.
