Chapter 571 They all plan to buy villas

"If it doesn't work this year, it won't work next year, but in a few years you won't think it's expensive anymore."

In the past, she would have thought Lin Yuyao was joking.

But she doesn't feel that way now, just like a year ago when they bought high-end skincare products, which really shocked her back then.

What used to be exorbitantly priced, she now sees as something she can afford if she grits her teeth.

Of course, that's what she says, but she still can't bring herself to buy anything too expensive.

The one she's using now only costs a few dollars a bottle.

"When will the villa community you mentioned start selling houses?"

"It's only in the planning stage, so I don't know the exact timeline. It's a community developed by the team led by Sister Leyi. She'll let me know as soon as there's any news. If you're interested, I'll ask around for you about the price of a smaller one and see if you can get a loan."

"loan?"

"Yes, houses are so expensive, not many people can afford to pay the full amount upfront. The newspapers have it that a new housing loan program was introduced this year. That means you can pay a portion upfront and pay the rest in monthly installments. Don't be fooled by how expensive it is now; it won't be so expensive in a few years."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Ye Xiaotong said with a smile. "You're definitely right."

It wasn't just Lin Yuyao and her group who planned to buy a villa; Song Qin and Chen Bingzhi also had this idea.

Because the villa community developed by the Fu family is very close to their company office building which is under construction, making it convenient for them to go to work in the future.

In addition, once Lin Yuyao has prepared the financial report at the end of the year, the company will provide housing subsidies to outstanding employees.

At that time, many employers provided housing. In the future, housing will no longer be provided, but there will be housing provident funds.

In this year of transition between two welfare programs, allocating housing is impossible, and the housing provident fund has not yet been implemented.

Lin Yuyao felt that they could offer a compromise, a solution that would make everyone happy.

……

Wang Jianguo bought a few steamed buns and returned to the guesthouse. To save money, they booked a very small room with only a single bed.

The father and son could barely manage to sleep by each sleeping on one side of the bed.

Fortunately, it's not hot now, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to be crammed together like this.

Wang Jianguo shared the steamed buns and dumplings with Wang Zhong, saying as he ate, "I was lucky. I ran into Fu Huaiyi and a friend of his as soon as I went out. He seems to live nearby and had just gotten off work."

"Hmm, what did he say?"

"They said that Lu Jiangting did receive a lot of money as compensation for that house. Lu Jiangting may be broke. He used to borrow money to make ends meet, but it's unclear whether Fang Qing has any money."

He paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, I heard from them that Lu Jiangting used to borrow money to make ends meet because he used all the money to subsidize Fang Qing."

Ok?

Wang Zhong nearly choked on the steamed bun, and only managed to swallow several mouthfuls of water.

"Are there really such suckers in this world?"

"Of course! Lu Jiangting tricked Fang Qing out of her ex-fiancée's dowry."

"Hmph." Wang Zhong slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "What did I tell you? I said those two had been hooking up for a long time, otherwise why would he be so nice to Fang Qing?"

Wang Jianguo: "They said that Lu Jiangting wanted to help the orphans and widows because he was close to my brother and saw that my brother was gone."

"Pah! You believe that nonsense? When it comes to helping others, if you have extra money, you should give some out. Have you ever seen anyone who helps others to the point of having to borrow money from everyone they know?"

Wang Jianguo: "..."

"That makes sense. Maybe so. Maybe Fang Qing and Lu Jiangting have been hooking up for a while now."

“I think that’s most likely the case. Your brother is confused too. He bought a house in their town. Lu Jiangting’s village is only two miles away from the town. If the two of them wanted to hook up, they could have done it just by taking a stroll.” Wang Zhong stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, “Yes, that must have been when they hooked up.”

Hearing him say that, Wang Jianguo was also very angry, as if he had been cuckolded.

He could accept Fang Qing remarrying two or three years after his brother died, but he couldn't accept that Fang Qing was already having an affair with someone else while his brother was still alive.

"Father, we can't let them get away with this."

“We definitely can’t let them off the hook, but we haven’t gotten the money yet, so let’s not piss them off.” Wang Zhong pulled Wang Jianguo aside and said, “I think Lu Jiangting has treated you quite well. He’s on good terms with your brother, so try to get closer to him and find him a job for you. Let’s settle down first. It’s best to get things done without turning against each other. We can only do that if we have no other choice.”

"Okay, he's probably off work by now. I'll go in a bit."

"And ask him to help us find a place to stay."

Wang Jianguo slapped his forehead. "Dad, I almost forgot about that. Fu Huaiyi said that Lu Jiangting and the others are moving soon, and the house they're currently living in will be vacant. That house is a welfare house, it's free, and they can live there until the second half of the year. We'll talk to him about it in a bit, and the house problem will be solved."

The two agreed to quickly finish their steamed buns and mantou before going to Lu Jiangting's house together.

As they approached, Wang Zhong pulled Wang Jianguo aside and said, "Jianguo, that old bastard in bed is very shrewd. Bringing it up in front of him might not work. Try to coax Lu Jiangting outside to talk about it later, so that the old bastard doesn't hear it."

A glint of light flashed in Wang Jianguo's eyes, and he nodded hastily, "Okay, I'll listen to Dad."

The two then walked into the alley together.

The Lu Jiangting family was not surprised. They remained calm when they saw them arrive and invited them in to sit down.

Lu Cong said, "Brother Wang, I'll say it again: if we had the money, we would give it to you, but we really don't have any right now. But I know Fang Qing might have some money, why don't you ask her?"

The two looked at each other.

"Is Fang Qing rich?"

"Not necessarily, it's just my guess. We did some calculations and think she definitely has some money, but she keeps denying it."

Two people: "..."

Is Fang Qing keeping her family at arm's length?

They really have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

"Sigh! Judging from her expression, she doesn't want to give it to me." Wang Zhong wiped away his tears and said, "I'm so old, and I've come all this way to collect this debt. I haven't even paid for my travel expenses or lodging. We used all our family's savings to come here. What will we do if we don't get it?"

Lu Cong: "..." What should I do? What does this have to do with me?

"So, what does Brother Wang plan to do?"

"We can't afford to stay in that guesthouse anymore; we're afraid we'll have to sleep on the streets."

As he said this, Wang Zhong felt a pang of sadness.

Wang Jianguo said, "Dad, how can you sleep on the street at your age? I can sleep on the street without any problem, but you can't."

"Don't talk nonsense. I wouldn't feel at ease if you slept on the street alone."

"But I can't just watch you sleep on the street. What if you get sick? That would be adding insult to injury."
