Gu Shihong thought of what his daughter called him yesterday to give him instructions. She said that she agreed to lend money to her brother. The first reason was that Gu Lei had spoken, so she, as a sister, would definitely help. The second reason was that In order for Feng Xiaoqin to be able to stay in peace in the future and not to embarrass her father-in-law and grandma because of the down payment, or to get divorced, in the end, the little tiger has indeed grown up, and having a room of his own is good for the child's growth.
But when she got up after a good sleep, she felt that she had thought too simply, because apart from the down payment of 1 million, there was also a loan of 1.5 million, corresponding to a monthly payment of 7,000+. What could Gu Lei and his wife pay back? After buying a house, they have to renovate it, buy furniture and appliances, pay deed taxes, etc. These are all big expenses. Can they afford it based on their financial resources?
What should they do if they can't come up with the money? Don't want to buy a house? Impossible?
She borrowed one million from her sister, and it was always a bad idea to ask her a second time. After all, that night she talked to Feng Xiaoqin in a roundabout way, saying that she also wanted to buy a house, a mansion in the Century Residence, and this hundred Wan Hui borrowed money from his colleagues.
After borrowing from the richest person, you have to borrow from the second richest person around you. Who is that person? Gu Shihong!
As a middle school teacher with an intermediate professional title, based on the salary level in Shanghai, his annual income before retirement is at least more than 200,000 yuan. Even after retirement, a monthly pension of 6,000 to 7,000 yuan is guaranteed, and he can decorate and buy furniture and home appliances. The money is taken from here, and if the monthly payment is not paid, he may have to ask the old man for subsidies every month, because after all, he is his son. He cannot just watch Gu Lei fail to pay the monthly payment and the house is taken away by the court. Auction it.
Gu Qingyu told him that from a psychological point of view, if you borrow money from someone who has lent you money before, even if it has not been repaid, your success rate will be much higher than that of someone who has never opened your mouth before. If he opened it, Feng Xiaoqin would borrow endlessly--the kind that he never thought about paying back, so he had to hold tight and never open this hole.
"dad……"
When Feng Xiaoqin saw that Gu Shihong was silent, she felt no embarrassment and pulled the sofa closer: "Dad, I know you must have prepared a pension fund. Part of this money will be left to Gu Lei in the future, right?" , I just thought, if I can pay it out in advance, it would be considered an emergency, don’t you think? Oh, don’t worry, in the future when you get old, if you can’t move, just lie in bed, I promise you, I will take care of you. You definitely don’t contain lakes.”
She looked at the old man expectantly.
The old man's eyes were wandering from side to side, and his breathing was a little rapid. Let's borrow it, but I can't explain it to my daughter. Don't borrow it, and I can't wipe my face.
There is only one word to describe the feeling of a people's teacher, an out-and-out cultural person, facing a shameless rural woman, and that is embarrassment.
Lin Yue was enjoying watching on the balcony. His upper lip touched his lower lip. I promise you that in the future, when you are old and lying on the bed unable to move, I will never serve you without mercy. Tsk tsk, this is a blank check. It's even better than those private business owners deceiving newly graduated college students.
It would be an absolute fool to believe someone like her.
Isn’t it shown in the TV series? When he didn't borrow the money, he said in front of the little tiger that his father was worthless and a coward, and he picked on her husband in front of the old man and Gu Qingyu. But after the money was borrowed and the house sales contract was signed, he also didn't say it in front of his aunts, aunts and other relatives. Give your husband face.
Gu Lei also complained about this to Gu Qingyu, who replied, "Who told you to marry such a powerful wife?"
A person who is not grateful even after borrowing money, even because his sister-in-law persuaded his brother to move out, he should be more careful and find out how much money the family has. His name must be on the house book, not just Feng Xiaoqin. One person was anxious and made a fuss back to his hometown. Is what Gu Qingyu said wrong? Feng Danian is called his younger brother, but he is actually his son. If the house and savings are unclear, and someone else will compete with Little Tiger for the family property in the future, what will the Gu family's contribution count? Do charity?
She eavesdropped on other people's conversations and thought they were guarding her. In a fit of rage, she went back to her hometown and eventually killed Gu Lei. She had an illegitimate child in her hometown and couldn't be honest in her marriage. How dare she think others were treating her like an outsider? A person like this expects her guarantee to count? Haha, what a big joke.
Take for example dealing with the salesperson at the sales office. When the money is not paid, he will serve you tea and pour water with great care. He will say nice things one after another. I wish I could treat you as an ancestor. But as soon as the money is handed over, you will Become a grandson.
Feng Xiaoqin worked in insurance sales before.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Feng Xiaoqin, you are so shameless when you even think about raising money for dad's retirement."
"Gu Lei, tell me again." Feng Xiaoqin glared at her. It didn't matter if he wasn't around to ask for money, but he still dared to say sarcastic words. He was going to die!
"I said you are shameless. It's such a big deal to buy a house. As for the Gu family, Sister A has already put out one million. Do you want to discuss it with your family and give us some money? Oh, no, it's a loan. We I will pay it back, I will definitely pay it back.”
"My parents have no money."
"But they have a house. I don't think it's better to let them sell their house and raise a little more money. Let's bite the bullet and get a three-bedroom apartment. When the renovation is completed, we can take them over to live together and let them enjoy it." How about enjoying yourself?" Lin Yue said very seriously.
If you want to ask him what he thinks, it is very simple. It is in line with his style to wait for Feng Xiaoqin to take over her parents and keep their family in order.
"Gu Lei, you are going too far. How can my family's conditions be compared with this one?"
"Why not? Won't their house be left to you in the future? I remember you called your family before and told them about the demolition of an old house in the suburbs of the county. It would cost more than 200 square meters with a yard? According to the housing price level there , it can be sold for less than 700,000 or 800,000 yuan. If the house here is upgraded, the two-bedroom apartment of 2.5 million yuan will be turned into a three-bedroom apartment of over 3 million yuan. If you pay a down payment of 1.8 million yuan, you can make a 100,000 yuan house. A loan of 200,000 yuan, with 360 installments, and a monthly repayment of just over 5,000 yuan. My salary can just cover it, how great is that."
"No, the family house must be reserved for the New Year."
"That is to say, you don't have a share in the inheritance. My dad will pay for the house here and you promise to take care of him. Your parents will leave all the property to Danian over there. When they get old, Danian will take care of them, right? "
Feng Xiaoqin never expected that he would be waiting for her here.
That said, Gu Lei would have a reason not to let her bring her family to live in the future, but why did she buy a house outside? Isn't it just to bring his parents to Shanghai to enjoy their lives, and also to give his eldest son a place to stay? If you say no, then help raise money.
"this……"
Gu Shihong breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed completely. Usually when Feng Xiaoqin would make excessive demands, Gu Lei would sit aside and not dare to say more than half a sentence. Today was good, he blocked Feng Xiaoqin's path in just a few words.
Feng Xiaoqin said: "It is natural to honor your parents, how can it be tied to money?"
Lin Yue asked back: "Then you tell me, I must buy a house. If my father and sister don't even help me with this, then take me back to your hometown in Anhui. From now on, bridges will return to bridges, and we will never see each other until death." ?”
"this……"
Feng Xiaoqin frowned and stared, wishing she could kill him. Seeing the old man being forced into a corner by her, she shuddered and nodded in agreement. Wasn't he deliberately trying to cause trouble by making such a fuss here?
Gu Shihong looked unhappy. What did his daughter-in-law mean by saying this? He and his deceased wife raised their son to be raised by the Feng family?
…
Early the next morning.
Lin Yue was woken up from his sleep by the little tiger: "What's wrong?"
"Dad, mom is gone, look at this."
A chubby little hand handed a piece of paper to him.
"My friend asked me to go to Nanjing for a few days. During this time, you can take care of the little tiger."
Oh, in the TV series, Feng Xiaoqin failed to borrow money from Gu Qingyu, so she stayed in a fellow villager's house out of anger, and used this method to force the Gu family to submit. Here, she tried to undermine her in front of Gu Shihong, but in the end she failed to borrow money, so she got angry and committed a crime. The runaway trick.
Do you really think that the Gu family can't survive without her?
"Let's go, daddy will take you to school today."
Lin Yue got off the bed, got dressed first, handed the schoolbag to Xiaohu, and told him to check whether he had brought his homework and whether the stationery was complete. He then went to the living room to pour the antihypertensive and antidiabetic medicines that the old lady would take in the morning. Come out and put it next to the water glass, then go to the balcony to take down the clothes Gu Shihong will wear today and hang them on the hangers. Go over and knock on the door of his father's room and tell him that he is going to send the little tiger to school. He doesn't need to make breakfast. He will pack two portions. Go home with fried dough sticks, soy milk and steamed buns.
In the TV series, in order to show Feng Xiaoqin's ability, she naturally tried her best to slander Gu Lei, breaking her thumb even if she sent her children to school, as if the Gu family could not take care of themselves without her.
The old lady doesn't remember how much medicine she took. Wouldn't it be better to call the community doctor?
I can’t find where the clothes are. That’s because Feng Xiaoqin usually packs them up. Can I still remember to wash and put them away by myself in the future? In old age, you had to carry a basin to the small river at the entrance of the village to wash your clothes. After washing, you had to wring it out and dry it in the sun. What now? Learn about the all-in-one washer and dryer.
When it comes to cooking, if you're lazy, order takeout, or if you're not lazy, cook it yourself. After Gu Shihong retired, he still wanted to carry forward his style and become the director of the owners' committee. Would such a nosy person be a lazy person? The four of them had dinner. For breakfast, they went downstairs to buy something ready-made. For lunch, the children and son were not at home, so it was just mother and son. Two, just make something casually, and come back for dinner. I have one afternoon to prepare. Is it difficult to fry four dishes?
Yes, cleaning is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, but except for people with mysophobia, is it necessary for ordinary families to do a general cleaning every day? As long as you learn to use garbage bags correctly, and your home is not a crowded place like a hotel or restaurant, cleaning it once a week is perfectly fine.
Do you really think that other families can’t survive without her?
In this society, there are often stories of old men getting into trouble and losing their income and their families being ruined. It is rare for an old woman to quit doing housework and go back to her parents' home to be so angry that her husband's family can no longer survive.
The so-called supply and demand determines the value of services and goods. The salary of a nanny in Shanghai is high, ranging from six to seven thousand a month. For those who live in a house, the salary is cut off because it saves the cost of renting a house, and rent in big cities is very expensive. . As for those with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, they either have high academic qualifications or special skills, or they are technical talents like confinement sisters. What does Feng Xiaoqin have? Therefore, the value of her serving a family every day is equivalent to a monthly salary of 5,000, without considering her service attitude. As for accompanying a man to bed... For a 38-year-old woman, 200 a time is considered expensive by others.
Therefore, in order to give middle-aged women a sense of comfort that they will never be able to have fun without their families, TV dramas even ignore logic.
…
While Lin Yue was taking Little Tiger to eat noodles with toppings at the breakfast shop downstairs, Feng Xiaoqin was accompanying He Xiaomei to buy vegetables at the vegetable market.
"I said you did the right thing, that's what you should do, punish them severely, otherwise this family will really treat you as a nanny. The nanny still has a salary, and the total of these years can be enough to pay the down payment of the house. I Let me tell you, anyone in the Gu family can leave, but they can't leave you. Just spread your hands and don't care about anything, and let's see what they do."
"Sister He, I know you are thinking about me, but I'm still worried." She took the plastic bag containing bananas and oranges to the waiter to weigh them: "I'm worried about Little Tiger, what is his dad doing? It’s all unreliable. Now that I’m gone, what will happen if the children fall behind in their homework?”
He Xiaomei saw that the cabbage in the box was good, walked over and broke off the yellow leaves on the outside, and said: "Are you anxious that the child has fallen behind in his homework? The Gu family is more anxious than you. Don't forget, the little tiger is Their family’s seed.”
These words touched Feng Xiaoqin's heart. He Xiaomei didn't know that she also had a son in her hometown, Feng Danian and Little Tiger. If you compare the two, Feng Danian is the Feng family, and Little Tiger... is definitely the son of the Gu family. .
"Hey, don't break it like this. How can we sell our vegetables if you break it like this?" After the waiter weighed the weight, he put the receipt on the plastic bag containing the fruit. He turned his face and saw He Xiaomei breaking off the cabbage. Stop it quickly.
"Your cabbage is withered on the outside and has bug eyes. How can I eat it if I don't break it off?"
"You like to eat cabbage? There are bags of baby cabbage over there."
"What's wrong if I want to buy this?"
He Xiaomei is not stupid. Baby cabbage is so expensive, but Chinese cabbage is cheap.
"If you want to eat this, don't ask for help." The waiter was very speechless. This is how selling cabbage is, there are always some unqualified people who ask for help, so they often get scolded by the manager.
"This is not your family's business. It's so lenient."
He Xiaomei rolled her eyes at the waiter, broke off another piece, and then put the cabbage into the shopping cart. Ignoring the other person's angry expression, she pushed the cart forward as if nothing was wrong: "I'm telling you, this family-friendly person only cares about you. You love your children too much, so they are unscrupulous. If you go all out and don't care about anything, then it's their turn to be afraid. If you want to buy a house, you have to be ruthless and hold on. Believe me, they will eventually give in. .”
Feng Xiaoqin thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
…
The next evening.
Convenience Bee.
Feng Qianqian completed the handover with her colleagues, opened the store door and walked out.
She looked up at the sky and sighed heavily. She had been preparing for the job search for a week, but someone called her and told her that she was not suitable. Her colleagues also told her in a joking tone that this company was good and there were many employers. , your resume will be like nothing if you submit it. The good ones will be looked at twice, and the bad ones will be thrown into the trash. If you ask why, they are posted on the website not to recruit people at all, but to advertise for themselves.
What can Feng Qianqian say? It can only be said that big cities have many opportunities but also many pitfalls.
After walking almost a hundred meters towards the subway station, she suddenly realized that Feng Xiaoqin hadn't gone home yet and made an appointment with her to eat hotpot at the Liangliang Hotpot restaurant on Linyi Road. By the way, she talked about the situation of the Gu family in the past two days.
It is not easy to take the subway to go to Linyi Road. It is faster to take the bus.
But just as she was about to cross the road and wait for the bus at the opposite bus stop, a brand new BMW x1 stopped in front of her.
Because it was a new car, it had not yet been registered, so it only had a paper temporary license plate affixed to the rear window.
Feng Qianqian was startled. Just as she was about to say a few ugly words to vent her emotions, the passenger window of the BMW X1 fell down.
"coincidence."
Feng Qianqian looked down and was stunned. The person sitting in the driver's seat...
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the BMW logo on the front of the car to make sure she saw it correctly.
How could her brother-in-law know how to drive? And the car is a BMW.
"Brother-in-law? Why are you here?"
Lin Yue said: "Oh, I was about to go home after talking to my sister. I passed by and saw you coming out. You looked unhappy. Are you not going well at work?"
Feng Qianqian was about to answer when she suddenly realized that her own affairs were not the focus, but her car.
"Brother-in-law, how come you know how to drive? And this...is this a BMW? Where did it come from?"
