Buying a house?

Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi couldn’t help but look at each other when they heard this. Even Wang Yunfa couldn’t help but sit up straight and look at Li Xia.

Wang Yunzhong continued, “The house in South City has been demolished for a while. Dad and Mom lived at my place before to help me take care of Qianqian during her pregnancy.”

“But you also know that old people’s habits are different from ours, especially their various concepts. Over time, there will inevitably be friction.”

“Moreover, Dad and Mom also said that they would buy a new house to stay in after the demolition fees are paid.”

“It’s not that Brother doesn’t want to take care of Dad and Mom, but Brother is also busy. Dad and Mom spend most of their time at home with Qianqian. In addition, Qianqian just gave birth and her temper is very unstable. I have no choice.”

Wang Yunzhong didn’t hide it and said the part where he was in a difficult position. They weren’t stupid and could tell that their parents didn’t get along well with his wife.

In fact, the old lady’s relationship with Xu Qianqian was not bad before. The reason it had become like this was because Xu Qianqian had given birth to a daughter.

Look at Li Xia. After giving birth to a son, the old lady’s attitude towards her differed greatly.

“I called all of you here today to discuss this with you,” Wang Yunzhong said and looked at the others.

Wang Yunmei was about to say something when Wang Yunfa was the first to object. “Brother, buying a house is not a small matter! Especially with the demolition in South City, the property prices in the entire Baiyun City have increased. Putting aside the big houses, just an eighty square meter house in Zhonglou District already cost three to four hundred thousand yuan!”

“Besides, can you buy a house in that kind of neighborhood for Dad and Mom? Those with slightly better conditions cost at least five hundred thousand yuan! You’re rich, but I’m not!”

Wang Yunfa was right. In the past two years, the property prices in Baiyun City had almost increased by a few times. Back then, before South City was demolished, Wang Yunmei bought a two hundred square meter house in Haicheng District that was in the prime district. It was less than a million yuan.

However, now, Wang Yunmei’s house had already increased to almost three million yuan, and it was still increasing. It could be seen that the demolition of a large district had shocked the entire city’s housing market.

If these two elders wanted to buy a house, Zhonglou District was the cheapest choice. Just as Wang Yunfa had said, it would cost at least five hundred thousand yuan. If they could buy a house in North City District, Wanbao District, or even Haicheng District, it would only be more expensive.

Li Xia also said with a difficult expression, “Brother, it’s not that we’re unfilial, but you know the situation at home. The vegetable stall’s business is not good. We posted the notice of transfer for half a month but couldn’t transfer it out. Moreover, we just returned the money you lent us a few days ago. We really can’t fork out much money.”

“Do Dad and Mom know about this?” Wang Yunmei immediately looked at Wang Yunzhong and asked.

Wang Yunzhong sighed and shook his head. “They don’t know. I was just thinking of discussing it with you first before telling the two elders!”

The problem of the elders’ retirement had always been a problem that they could not ignore. For example, no matter how unhappy Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi were with the two elders, they had never stopped paying their monthly living allowance.

Moreover, the living allowance had increased from three hundred yuan a month to six hundred yuan a month. The two elders earned almost three thousand yuan a month. In this day and age, it was already a lot.

They lived at Wang Yunzhong’s house, so they almost didn’t have to fork out money for their daily living expenses. Therefore, the old couple basically saved up the money their children gave them.

“I have no objections. If you think we should buy a house for Dad and Mom, buy it,” Wang Yunzhi said.

Wang Yunzhi’s life became better. Not only was she promoted and given a raise in Xiao Ai’s company, but Yao Feng was also the person in charge of many bars. His annual income was not little, and the two of them had saved up a lot of money over the past year.

Seeing that Wang Yunzhi had agreed, Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help but look at Wang Yunmei and ask, “Xiao Mei, do you think this matter will succeed?”

Wang Yunmei hesitated for a moment before saying, “Brother, we can do this, but I still think we should tell Dad and Mom first. If you suddenly buy a house for them, they’ll think you’re chasing them away, right?”

The old lady was more extreme in her thinking. The old man was also a person who cared about face. This was what Wang Yunmei was more worried about.

“Besides, we have to consider Yunfa’s situation. Since we’re buying a house for our parents, we should split the fees equally. Yunfa’s conditions won’t allow him to contribute,” Wang Yunmei added.

Wang Yunfa couldn’t help but sneer when he heard that. He emphasized, “Anyway, I don’t have money now. If you want to buy it, pay for it yourselves.”

Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but glare at Wang Yunfa, but he couldn’t help but think about Wang Yunmei’s words. If he suddenly bought a house, the two elders would overthink. They might argue with him then.

While they were discussing, Li Xia said nothing, but she kept thinking.

In the end, her eyes lit up!

“Brother, why don’t you let Dad and Mom stay at our place?” Li Xia immediately asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Wang Yunfa sat up straight and objected without thinking, “What nonsense are you talking about? How big is our house? Wouldn’t Dad and Mom be aggrieved to death if they move in?”

Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but frown slightly. He didn’t know what was wrong with Li Xia. She took the initiative to ask the two elders to move to their place?

Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi couldn’t help but look at each other. According to their understanding of Li Xia, she was a person who didn’t wake up early unless there were benefits. She must have thought of something good.

Li Xia glared at Wang Yunfa and gave him a look to tell him not to say anything. Then, she smiled at the others and explained, “I saw that Brother was in a difficult position and our family can’t help with buying a house!”

“Yunfa is also a son. The two elders have been living with Elder Brother for over a year. Isn’t it normal for them to move to another son’s house?”

“Besides, I have to go to work usually. I’m worried about Yunfa taking care of the child! Grandparents always miss their grandson. If they go to our place, they can see him every day.”

“The place is a little small, but it has two rooms, after all. Moreover, since they can be with their grandson every day, the two elders shouldn’t be angry about this, right?”

Li Xia said some reasonable reasons, but there was something she did not say.

Wang Yunzhong didn’t expect Li Xia to propose this solution. This saved him a lot of trouble compared to buying a house.

“Are you serious? Are you willing for Dad and Mom to move over?” Wang Yunzhong was a little hesitant. He felt that something was wrong.

“Tsk.” Li Xia clicked her tongue. “Brother, what are you talking about? What’s there to be unwilling about as a son and daughter-in-law? Besides, Dad and Mom have been helping us for the past two years. It’s only right for us to be filial!”
