novelSaving Money to Buy Your Own House
| ← Ch.087 | Ch.089 → |
Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yang Liu were able to hang out mainly because they shared many values. For example, both of them did not like to be late.
They agreed to meet at the entrance of the shopping mall at 10 am. Xiang Xiaoyuan arrived on time, and Yang Liu was already waiting there.
Yang Liu had already planned to buy a house last year. The school Lu Bei and the others attended was an aristocratic school. In addition to the rich and powerful families of the students, the school facilities and teachers' salaries were especially high. In order to recruit highly-skilled teachers, the school provided very good benefits, far more than other schools.
Therefore, Yang Liu received a very handsome pay every year. Not only that, the school also gave every full-time teacher a local bank account and accommodation. It was just that the number of houses were not high, so it was temporarily not Yang Liu's turn as a new teacher with a shorter teaching period to receive the benefit.
Yang Liu knew very well that she would have to wait for a long time for the school to give her a place. She knew so many teachers who were still waiting, so it would not be her turn in the next ten years. In any case, the salary was not bad. She had saved up a portion of her own money and planned to buy a house to settle down.
"Thank you."
Yang Liu got into the car and put on her seatbelt as she thanked her."You still came out with me to look at houses on such a hot day."
Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled indifferently."It's nothing. I came out to check out the housing prices in our city."
The two of them went to a few real estate agencies, which made Xiang Xiaoyuan feel the difficulty of buying a house that she hadn't felt in a long time. The housing prices in this city were too high. It was not much different from the housing prices in the city before she transmigrated. Every inch of land was worth a fortune. A small two-bedroom house was enough to empty all of one's savings.
Yang Liu did not work for long and her savings were limited. No matter how much she liked a big house, she still had to face reality and choose a small house. She chose a two-bedroom house. It was not big, about 60 square meters, excluding the external area, the interior area would be even smaller, but it was enough for one person to live in.
Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at Yang Liu as she handed over the deposit. Yang Liu turned to look at her and laughed."What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm happy for you. You finally have your own house." Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed."It's so enviable to have a house of your own."
Yang Liu held her hand and walked out."You're envious of me? Mrs. Lu is envious of a commoner like me. By the way, your villa occupies more than 1, 000 square meters, right? The house I bought is probably not as big as your bathroom."
"The villa is big, but it's not mine." Xiang Xiaoyuan shrugged."The house I live in belongs to Lu Wanggui, but the house you bought is completely yours."
Yang Liu sighed. She could sympathize with Xiang Xiaoyuan's words.
Every time she said that she wanted to buy a house, her family and people around her told her that a woman didn't have to buy a house. She would marry sooner or later, so she shouldn't put so much pressure on herself at such a young age. They also said that she would have to buy a house to pay off her mortgage, and the man she married would also have to buy a house to pay off his mortgage. The pressure on the couple's life was too great, and they might even quarrel.
Although Yang Liu did not agree with what they said, she had heard the same words many times. Occasionally, she would wonder if her idea of buying a house was wrong.
Later, when she was chatting with Xiang Xiaoyuan, she told her about this problem. Xiang Xiaoyuan only said, "If there are so many disadvantages in buying a house, why do all the men want to buy a house? Why are they still concerned about the price of real estate and marriage?"
Yang Liu suddenly realized that she was right. If buying a house was not right, why did the men still buy it?
They advised a woman not to buy a house because they just wanted to let the woman share the mortgage with them after they got married to ease the pressure.
Although Xiang Xiaoyuan married well and she did not need to work to earn money, the rich also had their troubles...
Yang Liu was about to comfort her when she saw Xiang Xiaoyuan had already sorted out her emotions. She said energetically, "But I also have my own plans. In two years, I will also buy a house. When the time comes, if I have more money, I will buy the big house with a good view that we saw just now. If I have less money, I will buy a house in this neighborhood to be your neighbour. Occasionally, I would go to your house for a meal!"
Yang Liu could not help but laugh."Okay."
She did not know why, but she felt that Xiang Xiaoyuan's plan would be realized very soon.
At the same time, Yang Liu also overlooked a problem. Xiang Xiaoyuan said that she would buy a house and live alone. She did not mention the Lu family at all.
In fact, even Xiang Xiaoyuan did not realized that in her heart, she did not plan to be with Lu Wanggui as husband and wife for the rest of her life, despite Lu Wanggui having a good personality, temper, looks, and everything else.
