Reborn as a rich woman: rich and leisurely

Chapter 19 Want to buy a house



My uncle's name is Zhao Youliang. He is just over forty-one this year and has a serious face. He is an employee of the Ministry of Railways. Lin Jing is not very clear about what he does. In the past, the two families did not visit much. Usually, he and he would meet during the Chinese New Year every year. The little aunt came together to pay New Year greetings to grandma, coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.

Grandma always said that my little aunt is very lucky, she is beautiful and smart, and she will be lucky if she gets married in the city.

In the past, she always felt that her younger uncle, as a formal employee in the city, with an employer and a salary to live in, looked down upon their poor relatives in the countryside, and she always had a sense of alienation towards them.

But she remembered that in her previous life, when her eldest brother needed to compensate, they lent her family a thousand yuan in one go.

At that time, this amount of money could be used to buy a small building in the city. Four members of their family squeezed into two houses, but they lent the money to their own family.

Although she paid back the money in the end, the money afterwards was not as valuable as the money now!

Regardless of whether you think highly of their family or not, at least the affection between relatives is real, and that is enough.

For example, she always wanted to beat Lin Yun after she was reborn, and sometimes she actually beat her up. But if something happened to her eldest brother, or if anything happened to any of her brothers and sisters in the family, she would never stand idly by.

All four people greeted Zhao Youliang.

Zhao Youliang didn't expect that several nephews and nieces would suddenly come. He was a little confused for a moment. He looked at Lin Yun and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

They had only met recently. Everyone in the family knew that Lin Jing chopped down Lin Yun at her mother-in-law's funeral, but judging from their good spirits, nothing happened at home.

Lin Yun didn't know what he was doing here, and looked at his sister in confusion.

Lin Jing brought the canned goods and cigarettes she just bought to Zhao Youliang, "Uncle, we are not going into the city for a stroll. We are here to see you and your little aunt."

Zhao Youliang's face was full of disbelief, "These things are too valuable, you should take them back."

Naturally, Lin Jing would not take the things back and said, "I actually have three things I want to ask my uncle for help with."

Lin Yun trembled in his heart. His family was not close to his uncle's family. If he asked for three things, he would definitely be rejected.

Zhao Youliang really wanted to refuse, but he was an elder after all, so he couldn't just refuse without saying anything, right? Asked: "Tell me first, what is it?"

Lin Jing took out five hundred yuan and said: "I want to buy six train tickets from Qi City to Nandu on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and they have to sleep together, but I don't have enough money now, so I want to ask my uncle to help me first. I will definitely send the remaining money over before the train leaves and then get the ticket from my uncle."

A hard sleeper costs more than 200 yuan, and six sleepers cost more than 1,000 yuan. Five hundred yuan is indeed not enough, but the train ticket can be refunded, which is not difficult as an employee of the Ministry of Railways.

"Where did you get so much money? Why did you buy so many train tickets?" Zhao Youliang asked warily after confiscating the money.

It’s rare for country people to even come to the city, let alone travel so far away, and it’s even more strange to buy six hard sleepers. For more than 200 train tickets, it’s six tickets, let alone the countryside. Yes, even city dwellers will usually choose hard seats to save money.

Lin Jing explained simply: "I didn't want to buy it, but a friend asked me to help him buy some when he knew that I have relatives who work at the Ministry of Railways. He said he didn't know if he could buy it himself, but it would definitely be difficult to buy together."

This is true. There are no high-speed trains or high-speed trains these days. Green trains are slow but tickets are in short supply. In many cases, you can’t buy tickets even if you have money.

However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many people returning to Qi City, so it is relatively easy to buy tickets to other places. Zhao Youliang agreed, "What are the other two things?"

Lin Jing smiled and said: "I heard that someone is selling a house near the Ministry of Railways at a low price. I want to take a look."

Zhao Youliang naturally knew about this. The landlord was his colleague. A relative of his family was doing well abroad and there was a way for his family to immigrate there.

The conditions of his family are not bad. He finally went through all the procedures but the property at home has not been disposed of. Seeing that the day of going abroad is getting closer, the price of the house is getting lower and lower.

It’s not that his house is not good, it’s that it’s too big. Most people can’t afford it. Those who can afford it like to buy new houses in the city, and people from the Ministry of Railways nearby want to wait for the unit to allocate houses for free, even if the family is tight. I don't want to buy it, so the house worth several thousand yuan has not been sold even though it has dropped to four to five thousand yuan.

Zhao Youliang didn't know how Lin Jing knew the news. After all, this place was far away from the countryside. If he didn't tell her, there was no reason why Lin Jie would tell her family. He said, "I'm at work now. I can't take you to see it until I get off work." .”

Lin Jing said obediently: "Okay."

Suddenly thinking of something, Zhao Youliang asked in surprise: "Do you want to buy it?"

Lin Jing smiled and said: "It's too big, I can't afford it. I want to buy it with my uncle and uncle."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Youliang has seen that house before. Their family of four is now cramped in two rooms. They have thought about buying a house nearby so that their eldest son can get married, but they bought a flat. There was no chance of room separation, so I thought about it for a long time and still endured it. "Your aunt and I have no intention of buying a house. Besides, why would your uncle come here to buy a house in the county?"

Now Lin Jing's greatest wealth is knowing more information. At this time in her previous life, her uncle had come to Railway Middle School to interview as a physics teacher. The salary was better than in the county town, but her aunt was worried that she would not be able to find a job in the city because of the pressure on the man. In the end, I just gave up. As a result, my aunt was laid off within two years. There was no chance of a job here again, and my brother-in-law lived in the county town for the rest of his life.

It’s not that the small county town is bad, but people go to higher places, and my uncle is actually a person who has pursuits, otherwise he would not come to the city for an interview. Job hopping is still a rare word in this era, if it weren’t for the teacher at Railway Middle School He just happened to go abroad and had no chance.

Lin Jing looked at her uncle and said, "The owner of that house is in a hurry to leave. We might be able to get it for three thousand yuan. Then we will buy it together as a family, build roads and walls, and apply for property ownership certificates separately."

Zhao Youliang frowned and emphasized: "Your aunt and I are not planning to buy a house." Why is this child talking to himself?

Lin Yun was also shouting in his heart: I am not planning to buy a house, let alone a house in the city, even he can't afford it in the town.

"I know." Lin Jing said as if she didn't hear their rejection, "Uncle, cousin, is he going to get married this year? Can you find a partner just where you live now?"

Not only was the house small, it was on the eighth floor, and the staircase shared a bathroom. It was more uncomfortable to live in than the mud-tiled house in her hometown.
