Chapter 1012 1012. Seventh Cousin’s House
Looking at Ulan who was still arguing, the seventh cousin shook his head: "Don't say this yet. My son probably has no hope. He already agreed to it when I mentioned the house."
“But won’t he come back...”
It was originally agreed that Song Tan would provide for her in old age, so this house was given to her.
Now the seventh cousin is a very important figure in their family. He has not yet reached the stage of providing for old age. Why can't the matter of this house be forgotten?
Ulan couldn’t understand.
Who wouldn’t appreciate being given a big house for free when he was poor at the beginning? No matter what, it’s still 1.8 million.
But nowadays, people are selling this and that, and the supply can easily exceed 20 per catty. Millions of dollars are really nothing here in Ulan.
Since there is no shortage of money, it is natural that these external things are not taken so seriously.
And what she said now is also true—
With the retirement plan not yet started, how can we talk about who owns the house?
The seventh cousin shook his head.
“My son has not been close to me since he was a child, and now it seems that he has indeed lost some fate.”
Originally, I thought he wouldn't come back because the border area is a big place and it would be troublesome to travel back and forth by car for several days. If he doesn't bring his family and dependents there, he won't come back.
“But he called two days ago and asked about our children’s schooling..."
After saying this, Mrs. Tang understood.
“I want my children to study here and take the college entrance examination back to my hometown, right?”
The seventh cousin nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean. He said that in recent years, people in many areas where exams are difficult have been trying to move their household registrations there."
But even though their household registration has been moved, their learning ability and education are still in a well-known and competitive area.
In comparison, their local children are actually worse, and they may not have a chance when they take the college entrance examination.
No, I’m going to take my children back to study!
Mrs. Tang frowned: "Then why are you going back to Yuncheng? Although the local education in Yuncheng is better than theirs, it can't keep up with the provincial capital, right?"
Cousin Seventh said "hum".
“Then why am I incompetent and have no house in the provincial capital?”
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Not because of the house, but because of the sparse father-son relationship. When a person gets old and his children no longer miss him, it feels so sad to think about it.
The seventh cousin is free and easy.
He suffered a lot when he was young, faced with a shortage of supplies, his children never came back, and he met a white-eyed wolf apprentice... Now he has a bright mind.
“Parents worry about their children. It’s my own son, and I can’t beat him away.”
"They have saved some money over the years and come back, so they don't think about me. I'm just telling you that you won't be too surprised if he comes back one day."
Song Sancheng thought for a while and suddenly became happy again: "Why are you surprised? If his cousin hadn't told him in advance, who would have known what he looked like?"
That's true.
However, the seventh cousin also had another thought when he mentioned this tonight:
“But I don’t want to give that house to Tantan anymore.”
Everyone looked over curiously - I just said I would give it to them, why is it contradicting myself now?
In the quiet room, there was only a slight burning sound coming from the stove, but the seventh cousin said in a low voice: "I was thinking about taking Qiaoqiao to transfer the house in the next two days."
He spoke sincerely: "To be honest, my son has come here with his children and his wife, so I can't possibly ask them to rent a house outside. But I'm not happy to let them have this house like this."
“So I thought, let’s transfer the ownership to Qiaoqiao first.”
"When the children go to school, let them live with their family first. When Tantan gets married, we can't ask Qiaoqiao to follow her every day, so we can sell that house and use the money to build another one here. "
The seventh cousin had a thoughtful plan: "Sooner or later, my old house will be demolished, so we can just apply for another homestead for him."
Oh yo yo! The old Song family would never agree.
If nothing else, does their family lack the money to buy a house for Qiaoqiao? They agreed not to, and neither brother nor sister wanted it.
Ulan even said bluntly: "I saved money for both of them."
Besides, the seventh cousin felt that it might be inconvenient for Tantan to take care of Qiao Qiao now that she was married, but just by the way she opened and closed her mouth and called Qiao Qiao and bossed him around, it was clear that the seventh cousin was not worried about anything. possible!
Having said that, the reason why he agreed in the first place was because he trusted Tan Tan to keep her word. Now, for the sake of a half-way apprentice like Qiao Qiao, I have to talk about so much...
No, the seventh cousin struggled for a long time, but no one let go.
But Grandpa Qi Cousin was really unwilling to leave the house to his son.
He has saved a lot of money, and that money will definitely belong to his children a hundred years later. After all, it is his own biological child, and he cannot turn a blind eye.
But doesn’t he feel resentful that his child has been unfilial for so many years? So when I was alive, I didn’t want to give him the house no matter what.
But now the old Song family doesn't want it, he...
Just as he was struggling, he suddenly heard Zhang Yanping ask cautiously:
“Auntie, do you really not want that house?”
Ulan was stunned: "You..."
I saw Zhang Yanping coming over: "Auntie, I don't want to take advantage of your family, I just want to take this opportunity to ask if this is feasible - Seventh Cousin, if your house is sold to me..."
“I won’t sell it!” the seventh cousin said angrily.
Zhang Yanping waved his hand: "No, no, just listen to me."
He looked at everyone with a very sincere expression:
"I really don't want to go back to the city anymore. I'm very happy here, and I want to keep doing this. But as the seventh cousin said just now, Tantan will get married sooner or later. As a cousin, I I can’t stay here forever, and I don’t want to live in a dormitory forever.”
“Then...seventh cousin, let’s write an agreement. I’ll buy your house at a cheaper price. For example, if the price is 1 million, I’ll pay 20—don’t be too little. I won’t settle the house.”
He emphasized: "Can you use your name to help me apply for a homestead in the village...?"
Regardless of whether this agreement violates the regulations or not, Zhang Yanping only dared to say it to his seventh cousin. If it were someone else's idea, they wouldn't be able to express it even to death. Because as long as someone goes back on their word, at the very least, I will lose both life and money...
But now that he said this, even Xin Jun became excited: "Can I come together?!"
In poor mountain villages such as Yunqiao Village, there are not many restrictions on homestead application, and each person has a large share.
And Zhang Yanping alone can't build a big villa. Then he can jointly pay for it and let the seventh cousin apply for more, and the two of them can pay half of it, right?
Update 2, good night.
That’s right, it’s been laid out for so long just because it’s Brother Yanping’s house. I always feel like I don’t have a house and I don’t belong.
Of course, you can do it without foreshadowing, or you can just write it and buy it directly, but that would be a bit bold and abrupt... I have laid out so many bits and pieces of foreshadowing, I have to use every one of them.
By the way, don’t worry about finishing it, it’s already over.
Good night, good night, good night!
