It’s good to have ideas, it’s good to have ideas.
She was afraid that Lu Jiaoer would not have any ideas or that her husband's family would ask her to go back. Then it would be much harder to find her if anything happened in the future.
Now after hearing Lu Jiaoer say that she had the idea of buying a house, Director Huang was overjoyed. He felt that she and Lu Jiaoer were so destined that they were going in both directions.
"Xiao Lu, to be honest, someone asked me to sell a courtyard house. The location is very good, it is a courtyard for two people, and the seller has protected it well. If it weren't for them planning to go abroad, they would still be reluctant to sell it. "
"Actually, Xiao Lu, you are right to buy a house and not live with your in-laws' family. You are from the south and your in-laws are from the north. I won't talk about the cultural customs. The main reason is that the food is different. You see. You don’t like steamed buns, dumplings, and bean buns, but you like rice. If your husband’s family eats this three times a day, how can you, a southerner, stand it?!”
"Xiao Lu, sister is here. If you want to take a nap at your husband's house and lie down for half an hour longer, they will scold you to death. If you don't work or cook at home, that's even worse. You have to wait on me. A big family, otherwise you won’t be able to survive a day like this.”
"If you have your own house and your man is not at home, no one can say anything if you don't go back to live there. How comfortable would it be to live alone?! You can do whatever you want without having to look at other people's faces."
What Director Huang said now was really heartfelt to Lu Jiaoer. She was really thinking about Lu Jiaoer now, and she was persuading her with her identity and experience.
Of course Lu Jiaoer knew that what Director Huang said was right and true. Very few daughters-in-law can get along well with their mothers-in-law. Generally speaking, such mothers-in-law can get along well. Basically, such mothers-in-law are kind people. But there are too few such mothers-in-law. There are only a few such good mothers-in-law in a hundred.
"Director Huang, you are a good person. Thank you for your teaching. I understand this too. Otherwise, why would I rent a house to live in?! My mother-in-law doesn't like country wives like me, and she didn't let me enter her house at first. Home. Fortunately, I met the kind-hearted Sister Liu in the guest house. If she hadn't brought me to you, Director Huang, and rented a house, I don't know what I would have done."
She was very grateful to Liu Xiuqing who worked at the guest house. He was a warm-hearted person. Lu Jiaoer was able to rent a house so quickly because of her matchmaking.
"You mean Xiao Liu, she is a nice person. I am also grateful to Xiao Liu, otherwise how could we meet such a nice person like you in our alley?!"
Director Huang knew immediately which Sister Liu Lu Jiaoer was talking about, and he was really impressed.
"So, Director Huang, I think we are really destined to help each other. I like our environment very much. If the house you introduced was here, I would borrow money to buy it."
Lu Jiaoer not only praised Director Huang, but also praised Liu Xiuqing, which immediately brought everyone closer.
Sure enough, the smile on Director Huang's face became even brighter, his eyes looking at Lu Jiaoer became much softer, and his heart turned towards her.
"Xiao Lu, let me tell you, that house is indeed not cheap. But if you have the money to buy that house, there is really no loss at all. If I didn't have enough money, I would have bought it long ago."
What Director Huang said was true. She had always known that courtyard and the owner of it. After hearing that the other party wanted to sell her house and go abroad, she was very, very excited. But after inquiring about the house price, she had to give up her mind.
Expensive, too expensive. With her family's salary and savings, she simply couldn't afford it. Even if she borrowed money to buy it, it wouldn't be easy, and it wouldn't be enough.
The good news should not go to outsiders, so she recommended it to Lu Jiaoer.
"Director Huang, how much does that house cost?!"
Lu Jiaoer was already very excited and quickly asked the price. She had already planned in her heart. If the money was not enough, she would immediately find a way.
"Eighteen thousand."
Director Huang quoted the price, wondering if Xiao Lu could afford it.
Eighteen thousand? !
It would not be expensive at all in more than ten years, but now it is indeed very expensive and too expensive.
You must know that the savings of a family in Beijing now can basically save two or three thousand if they live frugally. If it is better, it will be four or five thousand. The best ones may not exceed ten thousand.
"Director Huang, can't it be less?! Isn't fifteen thousand okay?!"
With the current salary level, consumption level and deposit speed, Lu Jiaoer feels that the house price is really high. No wonder no one can afford it.
However, as someone who knows the future direction, even if she doesn't have any savings now, she doesn't think it's expensive at all, she even thinks it's cheap.
However, the price still needs to be cut. After all, it is much harder to make some money in this era than it was a few years ago.
"He refused to take any less. I asked, and he said the minimum was 17,000."
Director Huang himself wanted to buy it, so he naturally negotiated with someone, but the other party was only willing to take a thousand less, and would not accept any more.
The landlord is so determined because, firstly, his house is very good, and secondly, he is going abroad and the more money, the better.
"Director Huang, can you take me to see this house first?! I definitely don't have enough money now. I can only ask my lover and his comrades. A few of their good buddies should probably be able to raise money for me. It takes more than half of it, it just takes some time.”
When Lu Jiaoer didn't ask about the price just now, she was already thinking about how to get the money together.
Although she now told Director Huang that she planned to ask Gu Fengrui and Ling Yulin to raise money, these were all excuses. She would not go to them for help, nor did she plan to ask the old man for help.
She had already thought about it and had settled it after seeing the yard and negotiating with the homeowner. She went to the black market and sold two or three pills from the world of cultivation in a small space. She could sell them for not only 15,000 yuan, but at least 91,000 yuan, which was enough to pay for the house.
"No problem, go now?!"
Director Huang said very cheerfully that if this matter could be accomplished, both families would be grateful to her.
"good."
Lu Jiaoer also wanted to see the house quickly and raise money after the negotiation was completed.
So, after Director Huang went back to the subdistrict office to say hello, he got on the back of Lu Jiaoer's car, and the two of them went directly to see the house.
The two-in-one courtyard house is next door to the alley where Lu Jiaoer lives. The environment of this alley is obviously clean, the road is spacious, and the grade has obviously been improved. Every house has a similar style.
Lu Jiaoer liked this alley and the houses here at first glance. It seemed that it was not so complicated and there were not so many houses. Before she even saw the house, she had already decided that she had to buy it.
