Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

With three sons to rely on, each day brings something to look forward to.

Now, there's no hope left.

The admiration and respect I had for him gradually faded away with the foolish things Liu Haizhong did.

They'll say a few words on ordinary days, act all high and mighty, and then ignore you.

You still want to act all high and mighty and treat people like servants? You try it!

"I... you... I'm too lazy to talk to you."

With a sudden stomp of his foot, Liu Haizhong closed the door and went back into the inner room.

"Look at how self-important he is," Aunt Liu muttered under her breath. "Look at you, thinking you're all that anymore! You still think you're the same as before!"

However, he spoke so quietly that Liu Haizhong didn't hear him.

He's my man, after all, and I've spent most of my life with him.

The yellow earth is up to my chest, what else can't I overcome?

As long as he doesn't go too far, Aunt Liu will still give him face and respect him!

That little brain of his, he should probably use it less in the future.

They're not smart to begin with, so why bother trying to be clever?

Instead of wasting your time, why don't you think about how to find your son?

Otherwise, the fate of Old Yan and his wife today will be the fate of you, Liu Haizhong, and me tomorrow.

You'll have your day then, hmph~.

Chapter 449 Aunt Liu is leaving; buying and selling houses

"Mom, why are you doing this? I was just discussing it with you."

“You are all heartless, trying to abandon me and your father.”

"I don't want to live anymore! I can't survive! God, please open your eyes and take a look!"

"Oh God, what has become of this world? I'm so old and nobody wants me anymore, just let me die, ahhh~"

Aunt Yan sat down on the ground, her body rhythmically swaying back and forth, her hands rising and falling to pat her legs.

The way she cried was so professional; anyone who saw it would have tears in their eyes and feel her pain.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she had suffered a tremendous injustice.

Yan Jiedi felt both helpless and innocent. She looked around, stomped her foot angrily, grabbed her handbag, and left.

"Hey, Jie Di."

Despite their shouts, they couldn't stop him; he vanished like a little white rabbit in a few moments.

Seeing this, Jiefang and Jie Kuang were stunned, as was Aunt Yan.

What's going on?

One or two of them will find a chance to slip away. Oh, are you really planning to just leave them alone?

Seeing that her mother was stunned, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang also secretly tried to slip away.

Aunt Liu saw it, and her face was also full of bitterness.

Should we stop them or not?

In the backyard, Yingzi pricked up her ears by the stove, listening through the crack in the window.

Seeing that there was no response, she turned to look at Jianguo and asked, "Jianguo, do you think something bad will happen?"

"What could possibly happen?"

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "If something really happened, they would be screaming by now if they were this quiet."

Yingzi thought he was right after hearing that.

If something really happens, the whole yard will be filled with howling noises.

"Let's not get involved in this. If someone comes to us for help, we can lend a hand. If no one comes to us, we should stay away from them as soon as possible."

How many times has this drama at the Yan family's house happened since they moved into this compound?

That wasn't just once or twice.

After all these years of trouble, they finally stepped in to mediate and make up.

Not long after, he started causing trouble again.

All right.

A few days later, he started acting up again.

It's like a nesting doll, it just keeps going on and on.

Everyone in this compound is annoyed.

Yang Jianguo is alright; he's busy with work all day, so you can't find him if you want to.

Others, especially Aunt Liu, really became the referees in her family.

Just then, Aunt Liu knocked on the door: "Yingzi, Jianguo, are you two inside?"

"Here, Auntie, come in," Yingzi called out, putting down the pot lid and turning around to greet her.

Aunt Liu pushed open the door and came in. "This is cooking. We haven't eaten yet."

Aunt Liu could clearly see the steam rising from the stove.

"Hey, let's stew some meat." Yingzi didn't stand on ceremony and told her directly.

The two families have a very close relationship, and they treat each other like family.

"Auntie, is the commotion over upstairs?"

Yang Jianguo also closed his pen and came over to talk.

"Sigh~" Aunt Liu sighed, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This whole thing is so messy, it's not just their family who's annoyed, it's me too."

After glancing at the two of them, Aunt Liu said directly, "Jianguo, Yingzi, I've come here to discuss something with you."

Aunt Liu is moving, so I came to ask her if the house would be suitable for two people.

"Yes, I want it!" Yang Jianguo said bluntly.

Many years ago, he decided to buy this courtyard.

The neighboring courtyard opened a 'sea of ​​books' and has been gradually making changes on its own.

Now, water pipes are laid underground.

The house is all connected by pipes, and the electricity has been installed.

The heated kang (traditional heated bed) was replaced with central heating, and the cement floor was replaced with small floor tiles.

These were all achieved bit by bit through hard work.

The only problem is the lack of natural gas; the pipeline doesn't even extend into the area.

Yang Jianguo had no intention of finding someone to give him special treatment, and the same applied to natural gas.

In the future, we'll switch to electricity for everything.

The cost is slightly higher than that of natural gas, but not by much.

With his salary, he can afford it, right?

"If you say that, then this house is yours. You can decide on the price."

Aunt Liu immediately agreed to give him three days to move out, and the house would be hers.

He can decide on the price; if money is tight, he can pay later.

"Auntie, the current market price for a whole hospital like this is around 2 yuan."

"Three courtyards, seven main rooms, not counting the side rooms, each room is priced at 3000 yuan."

"Can I add another 300 yuan to your east room, making it 3300 yuan in total?"

After Yang Jianguo finished speaking, Aunt Liu shook her head.

It's not that I think it's too little, it's that I've given too much.

"No, no, Jianguo, how could I take advantage of you like that?"

Aunt Liu said directly, "As you said... give me 2500."

Yingzi chimed in, "That won't do. How about we calculate it as 3000?"

"No, no, it's settled then, 2500."

As she spoke, Aunt Liu stood up and walked out without giving the two a chance to speak.

"We've agreed on this price."

"Alright, you two hurry up and eat. It's getting late. I still need to go back and give your Uncle Liu a rub."

"Auntie, Auntie."

No matter how she called, she couldn't stop him. Yingzi turned around and said helplessly, "Jianguo, what should we do?"

Yang Jianguo put his arm around his wife's waist and laughed, "What else can we do? We'll just do as she says!"

The price is fair; no one is taking advantage of anyone else.

But that's just from the market price perspective. If Aunt Liu wanted to sell it for a higher price...

Post the message on the door, and it's guaranteed to be more than 2500 yuan.

With more people moving to the city, there are more buyers than sellers of houses.

In a seller's market, how can transactions be conducted at market prices?

If it weren't for this, the price of courtyard houses wouldn't have risen to this level.

"Jianguo, house prices are rising really fast. Do you think they'll keep going up?"

After closing the door, Yingzi brought the food to the table and called him to eat.

After washing his hands, Yang Jianguo shook them and laughed, "It's going to rise! Not only will it rise, it'll rise like crazy!"

Is 2 yuan too expensive to buy a courtyard house?

In 20 years, we won't even be able to afford a toilet.

After 08, there wasn't even enough for a toilet seat.

Automatic ones, with water sprayers, cost tens of thousands!

Treating real estate as an expenditure industry is a macroeconomic issue.

It was also a compromise made out of necessity; without the booming development of the real estate market, there would be no great rejuvenation in the future.

Ultimately, it buried a generation, leaving young people with no choice but to collectively lie down and accept defeat.

When you can see hope, you are willing to fight for it.

But when you've struggled and see no hope at all, what motivation do you have left to keep striving?

The idea that hard work and technology lead to wealth has become empty talk.

It's better to sell tea eggs than to build missiles; it's better to laugh at poverty than prostitution; it's better to struggle half a lifetime than to lose a few pounds of flesh.

A scientist's life savings are less than what an internet celebrity earns through live-streaming e-commerce or a star makes money through gigs.

When prestigious universities like 985 and 211 are no match for the mere mention of demolition, how can one talk about striving or happiness?

Chapter 450 Helping others becomes a sin; raising children to provide for old age, but the children never return.

After buying the front yard, Yang Jianguo planned to make some initial moves.

The appearance, old bricks, and layout remain unchanged, but necessary elements need to be added.

The roof needs to be repaired, the wiring and pipes inside the house need to be redone, and the floor tiles need to be replaced.
