Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

Chapter 84: Let Me Finish

“Husband, don’t worry. Listen to Sister.” Wang Yunzhi glanced at Yao Feng, indicating for him to calm down.

Wang Yunmei understood her sister’s and brother-in-law’s family situation. She immediately sighed and said, “Old Wu told me about this. He has a regular customer who is from the City Planning Bureau, and he told him this a few days ago when he went to buy tofu. Old Wu then secretly told me about this, and asked me to start planning.”

“Since I already know this, I’ll have to tell you. It’ll also be easier to discuss this earlier, just in case.”

Jiachi peeled a prawn and placed it on Jian Ai’s plate. Seeing this, Jian Ai smiled and mouthed thank you to her cousin. The two children ate without interrupting the adult’s conversation, but they listened to everything in silence.

Wang Yunmei thought for a moment before asking, “Didn’t you say last year that you wanted to buy the house you’re living in now? How was it? What did the landlord say? Is he willing to sell it?”

Wang Yunzhi and Yao Feng did not have their own house. They had only rented a house in South City for over ten years. Fortunately, the landlord was good and saw that their family was honest. Although he had increased their rent a few times over the years, it was not too ridiculous. The two of them had jobs and could afford it.

However, this had always been Yao Feng’s worry. He wanted to give his wife and son a real home, so he had been planning to buy a house for the past few years. However, he did not have much savings, and housing prices kept increasing year by year. In his heart, he was thinking about whether he should buy a flat house. It was a nest, after all.

Last year, Yao Feng mentioned this idea to Wang Yunmei, saying that he wanted to buy the house he was renting now. Now that South City was going to be demolished, Wang Yunmei suddenly thought of this.

Yao Feng looked a little helpless when he heard this. In the end, Wang Yunzhi said, “We’ve talked to the landlord. The landlord said that he could sell it, but at forty-five thousand yuan. We were saving up money, but our savings are only over twenty thousand yuan.”

Wang Yunmei nodded. “The yard you’re staying in is pretty good. Forty-five thousand yuan is indeed reasonable.”

Yao Feng immediately sighed and said in a low voice, “There’s no use talking about this. I reckon that before I can earn enough money, this house will be demolished. When that time comes, not only will I not be able to buy a house, but I will also have to rent a new house and move.”

When the time came, they would have to take out the money they had saved up to buy a house to rent a different house instead. By then, buying a house would be a distant matter for their family. However, Yao Feng didn’t say this out loud, not wanting Wang Yunmei to worry about it with their family.

At this moment, Wang Yunmei glanced at Jian Ai, and Jian Ai happened to look up and meet her eyes. The mother’s and daughter’s eyes met, and they instantly understood each other by their gazes.

Jian Ai nodded slightly to express her thoughts. Seeing this, Wang Yunmei said to her sister and brother-in-law, “How about this? I’ll take out forty-five thousand yuan for you to buy the house first.”

“How can we do that?” When Wang Yunzhi heard this, she rejected it without thinking. “Sister, I know you want to help us, but our family hasn’t reached a dead end. It’s hard enough for you to take care of two children alone. How can we borrow money from you? No, no!”

Yao Feng nodded in agreement. “Sister, we’ll lead our lives depending on how capable we are. We can’t implicate you.”

“How will I be implicated?” Wang Yunmei’s expression turned serious. She quickly said, “Don’t be anxious to express your stand. Let me finish.”
