Chapter 237 What's yours is yours, and what's mine is also yours.
Even if you manage to get a place, the apartment will be very small, and it might even be a tenement building.
Even the kind of place they live in now is considered good.
However, the policy has been relaxed for many years, and those who were the first to try it are unwilling to suffer for long.
Those with better living conditions moved away, sold their properties, and bought bigger houses.
The number of such people will only increase, and thus, the opportunity for commercial housing will arise.
Fu Huaiyi's situation is rather unique; his parents don't live here, so he can't live with them.
They have to rely on their own efforts.
Fu Huaiyi's statement that the man must prepare a house when he marries a woman is indeed a custom of that era.
But things will be different in the future.
In order for young people to settle down in the city, many families choose to have both parents contribute financially.
Of course, this is also due to future marriage laws.
"Don't ask your parents for money. I'll help you buy the house, and we'll put both our names on it."
"If word gets out, people will laugh at me to death. My parents won't agree either; they'll be laughed at too."
He pushed her deposit slip back, saying, "Keep it, you don't need it. We'll put the house in your name when we buy it later."
Lin Yuyao: "Are we going to get married?"
"Of course."
"Then why are you calculating this so clearly with me?"
Fu Huaiyi's expression stiffened, and he asked cautiously, "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Yuyao added, "After we get married, my money belongs to this family, so whose money do you have?"
“Of course mine is…” He suddenly remembered something, stopped abruptly, and then changed his words to “yours.”
Lin Yuyao: "..." How did it become mine?
What's yours is yours, and what's mine is also yours.
That's how I answered.
He remembered her saying to Lu Jiangting when she was lecturing him, "Where money is, there is love."
He suddenly realized what was going on.
He should have given her his money long ago, then she wouldn't have been able to run away.
Lin Yuyao was both amused and exasperated. "Fine, if that's the case, then use all my money to buy houses."
Fu Huaiyi's lips twitched. "This... is still different."
He paused for a moment and then said, "How about we keep both yours and mine? I'll have my parents handle the house issue."
He thought to himself that since he had already asked, he would take it whether it was 10,000 or 30,000.
Lin Yuyao shook her head, packing up her belongings as she smiled, "Hurry up and organize your things, and we'll get the house sorted out in a few days. We have enough money, so let's buy it ourselves. If that's not possible... a small one will do."
"Sigh! It's really unreasonable for you to pay for this."
Seeing that he kept refusing to invest, Lin Yuyao suddenly had a malicious thought.
"You don't want this house to be associated with me?"
Fu Huaiyi: "What?"
"If that's the case... then okay, you buy it yourself, and I'll buy it myself when I've saved enough money."
"what?"
It took him three seconds to figure it out.
"No, that's not what I meant. If you think that way, you're really misunderstanding me."
"Then how do you suggest I buy it?"
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll buy whatever you say."
Oh, that's more like it.
……
The next day, Lin Yuyao was on duty, which was also the time she had arranged to sign books with someone.
There are a total of 600 sets.
Looking at that pile of books, she felt overwhelmed.
Lin Yuyao quickly finished her meal and then began writing.
After writing for about half an hour, my hand became sore and weak.
There are less than a hundred sets?
Her lips twitched; she was filled with regret.
Why did she choose a four-character pen name for herself?
Why……
"How much is it?"
Alright, business is here.
Lin Yuyao put down her work and got up to serve customers.
"These colored books cost two yuan each."
"Is it so expensive?"
"Colored ones are all expensive, not to mention this paper is so thick and the production is so exquisite."
"Oh dear, I wonder when the price of this book will drop. Two yuan's worth of meat is enough to feed my whole family until we're stuffed."
Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "Lowering prices is probably difficult, everything will get more and more expensive. But wages will also keep rising, so that's a kind of price reduction."
"Wages increase every year, but I feel they still can't keep up with inflation. Ugh, life is tough."
The woman probably bought the picture book for her grandchildren. Although she felt bad about it, she still paid for it.
She simply tied the money pouch with a rope and stuffed it into her waistband, and it took her ages to take out the money.
She's a good-tempered saleswoman who's good at providing smiling service. If it were that shoe seller in the department store on the pedestrian street, she'd be given a real dressing-down.
As soon as she left, Fu Huaiyi arrived.
He looked travel-worn and exhausted.
"are you busy today?"
He had some things to do today, as he needed to check on some personal belongings in the safe, so he was a little later than usual.
Upon arrival, I saw a neat stack of books piled on Lin Yuyao's desk.
Lin Yuyao said, "It's alright, there aren't many customers after six o'clock. Please have a seat for a while."
School here lets out between 4:30 and 5:00, and the busiest time is from 6:00. After that, we leave work normally, leaving one person to work overtime.
These days there aren't many night owls, and kids go to bed early, so there really aren't many people around at night.
Of course, it also depends on the season.
There are more people out for walks in the summer than when it's cold.
After collecting the money, Lin Yuyao went back to sign books.
Fu Huaiyi couldn't sit still either, and came over to take a look out of curiosity.
"sign?"
"Yeah, we brought over six hundred sets of books, all of which need to be signed. I did the math, and it might take three hours to sign them all. I'm exhausted."
My wrist hurts; I feel like I'm going to get tendinitis.
"Shall I sign it for you?"
Thinking about his handwriting, which looked like it was printed...
"No, I'll do it myself. Your handwriting looks like a primary school student's."
“My handwriting isn’t always like that; I write it neatly because I’m worried people might misread it.”
"That won't do either. People buy it because of my autograph. What does it mean if it's signed by you?"
Fu Huaiyi: "You're too honest. Look at those people who sell signed books. They sell tens of thousands of copies at a time. Do you think all of them are signed by the authors themselves? They'd be exhausted."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"Unless it's an on-site autograph session."
Oh, you know too much.
"Could you help me open them up and arrange them neatly? I'll sign them one by one, and then you can help me put them away. That way it'll be faster."
"alright."
He assisted her, and his speed increased considerably.
But I still worked an extra shift today.
By the time they finished and got off work, it was already 10 o'clock.
He said he needed to get something from the car and told her to go back first.
Lin Yuyao was exhausted and sleepy, so she went back on her own without thinking too much.
She had planned to go back, wash up, and go to sleep, but unexpectedly, Fu Huaiyi knocked on the door again.
"it's me."
Lin Yuyao: "It's too late tonight, you should go to sleep. I'm already in bed."
"It won't take long, open the door quickly, I have something to tell you."
