Chapter 75: Buying a house, mom will borrow money to buy a house!

Yan Li can maintain a tacit understanding between father and son without saying anything.

In the afternoon, Zhang Hong went to help Yan Li's grandmother. She didn't know the situation. When she returned home and tasted the braised meat made by Yan Li, she scolded Yan Li.

Even though Comrade Lao Yan usually acts like the head of the family, if Zhang Hong gets angry, he will only be scolded.

Not to mention, Zhang Hong’s scolding was well-founded.

My family runs a restaurant. Once you taste this braised meat, you will know how much it sells for.

The child passed the recipe back with good intentions and reminded the child several times, but the child didn't take it seriously and threw it in a corner for several months.

That’s all money!

When Zhang Hong thought of this, she felt very distressed, and Lao Yan felt distressed too, otherwise he would not have been so obedient as to accept the scolding.

Yan Li admired the miserable condition of Comrade Old Yan and realized that even if he kept silent about this matter, there would be people who would help him.

If Zhang Hong scolds him now, if his grandmother finds out, the old lady will probably come over and scold him too. If the other uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts hear the news, they will probably also scold him.

In that case, Yan Li might as well play the role of a good son.

At least Comrade Lao Yan is feeling very guilty now. If he is coaxed a few more times, he can be asked to make delicious food for him every day during the New Year holidays because he is lazy during the holidays.

I am so filial and considerate!
Seeing that the scolding was almost over, Yan Li helped Old Yan out by making an excuse that it was a holiday and they shouldn't quarrel. The family had New Year's Eve dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala.

There were many programs, but the most impressive one was the skit "Heart Disease" performed by Zhao Benshan, Gao Xiumin and Fan Wei.

The Iron Triangle once again received a standing ovation after "Selling Crutch" and "Selling Car", and Yan Li's family was also amused.

At midnight, Yan Li and Lao Yan went out to set off firecrackers. Other families in the village also set off firecrackers. It seemed that someone in a village not far away was setting off fireworks.

Yan Li also took the time to look at the system. He thought that on a special day like the Spring Festival, there would be a benefit like [Spring Festival Information].

But the system does not seem to support traditional holidays and is still the ordinary monthly intelligence.

That’s right, the first day of the Lunar New Year this year is February 2st, so Yan Li triggered the monthly intelligence today.

After setting off firecrackers and returning to the house, Yan Li curled up in the corner of the sofa, pretending to play with his mobile phone, but actually studying today's intelligence.

Zhang Hong glanced at Yan Li who was fiddling with his phone with his head down, nudged her husband Yan Jiang, winked at him, and whispered.

"This kid drank a lot. Hurry up and ask the woman who called him."

Yan Jiang, whose alcohol tolerance was not as good as his son's and whose face turned red from drinking, remembered Yan Li's previous defense of him, shook his fat head and spoke for his son.

"If the child doesn't want to talk, then don't talk. Why are you worrying about it?"

Zhang Hong said: "I have no plans to do anything, so asking is not a good idea. My child is young, what if he gets cheated?"

"This kid is a monkey. He won't be fooled by you. You should ask yourself."

"I can ask you and use you, hurry up."

Seeing that Lao Yan remained silent, Zhang Hong glared at him several times and urged him repeatedly, almost choking him. In the end, she brought up the braised meat as an issue, and Lao Yan was in the wrong, so he had to give in.

As the sound of firecrackers gradually died down, Comrade Yan thought about what to say. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Li suddenly spoke.

"Dad, Mom, how much money do we have left?"

Lao Yan: “Ah?”

Zhang Hong was also a little confused: "Why are you asking this?"

"Just curious."

Zhang Hong looked at Yan Li suspiciously, but didn't hide it: "There are more than 20 yuan in the passbook, and I've lent tens of thousands of yuan to friends and relatives."

"so little?"

Yan Li was a little surprised. He thought the family had about 300,000 or 400,000 yuan.

Hearing this, Old Yan was furious: "Too little? Ask around in the village and see how many families have over 10 yuan in savings. Some struggle to even get or yuan."

This was the wealth he had accumulated over most of his life, and he was usually proud of it. His son's words really irritated him.

Zhang Hong also did the math for her son. Their family was just a small restaurant, with limited revenue, earning only a few tens of thousands of yuan a year. And that amount was only reached in recent years. Back in the 90s, money was much less plentiful, and the earnings were even less.

In recent years, the family built a new house, and Yan Li's tuition and living expenses for studying in Beijing are not low. Some of the money was also spent on Yan Li's grandfather's medical treatment before he passed away.

After deducting various miscellaneous expenses, the fact that Zhang Hong and his wife have this much savings now is already a testament to their good housekeeping.

After this incident, Yan Li realized that he had indeed been too optimistic about the situation at home.

This is a bad habit he developed after he started investing in stocks. He no longer regards small amounts of money as money.

After negotiating several contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a few days ago, this problem became more and more serious. He no longer cares about contracts worth a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars.

But in reality, in today's society, there are many people who earn a few hundred yuan a month, and there are many people who work hard but still earn less than ten thousand yuan a year.

Lao Yan and Zhang Hong were born in the countryside, had little education, and were not very smart.

He manages his family and business very successfully, which is definitely considered capable among ordinary people.

The more Yan Li thought about it, the more he admired his parents, and he flattered them. Old Yan got drunk and was very happy with the flattery, but Zhang Hong sensed something was wrong and grabbed her son.

"Tell me the truth, what's going on? Why are you suddenly asking for money? Is there something wrong with your business?"

"No."

Seeing Zhang Hong's disbelief, Yan Li explained, "A friend of mine just happened to recommend a house with good quality and a very favorable price. I'm short of money, so I wanted to ask my family if they have any money."

"Friends" are the system. Today, the system released monthly intelligence, one of which listed several high-quality and low-priced houses for sale in Beijing.

Yan Li looked at it with envy. This was information provided by the monthly intelligence, and its value could be imagined. If he missed it this time, he might not know when he would get it next time.

However, his funds were indeed a little tight, and he had lost some money by selling some stocks and Internet cafe certificates, so he started to think about the savings at home.

It would be a waste for the couple to put their savings in the bank to earn interest. It would be better for them to buy a house and wait for it to appreciate in value.

“To buy a house.”

Zhang Hong muttered something and then stopped talking.

Well, Yan Li is the only child in the family, and the family money will be given to him sooner or later, so Zhang Hong will not hide the amount of family savings from him.

But this money is the couple's life savings after all. They have worked hard to save it for so many years, so it is never too cautious when using it.

unless……

Lao Yan blurted out, "Why did you suddenly think of buying a house? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Yan Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Hong who had instantly become alert, and nodded embarrassedly.

"Ah."

"I knew it."

Zhang Hong shouted excitedly, then asked, "Did she ask you to buy the house? Are you guys getting married?"

"..."

Yan Li avoided the main point and talked about the house instead of his girlfriend.

"Dad, Mom, you don't know, the marriage trend is different now. It's fashionable to buy a house in the city. If you don't have a house, girls won't want to be with you."

Yan Li emphasized the importance of buying a house in the city, and its relevance and necessity to marriage.

At present, there are not many commercial houses in his hometown. Most people really don’t have this concept, especially those from rural areas. They generally tend to build new houses rather than buy new houses.

Yan Li started with the issue of marriage, which seemed to have grasped the pain point of his mother Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong avoided talking about buying a house just now, but now when she heard that it was related to getting married, she made the decision immediately.

"Buy, you must buy a house. If you don't have enough money, I will borrow money to buy a house."

When Yan Li saw his mother's resolute attitude, he felt happy but also a little worried.

I don’t know if this decision is completely correct. What if after buying the house, my mother comes after me to ask for a daughter-in-law?
