Shi Tianyi, Shi Chui, and Yun Wan'er began to busy themselves with Old Zhang's yard. Most houses in the town were collectively owned and belonged to small property rights, but the storefronts were different; many had property certificates, which were necessary for renting them out.
Old Zhang's yard had a property certificate and was a large property, just recently obtained. However, it only had forty percent ownership, but this was of no concern to Shi Tianyi! After gathering information about the housing situation and learning about Old Zhang's family—his son had graduated and was struggling in Guangzhou, still renting a place to live since the housing prices of thirty to forty thousand were beyond the reach of an ordinary family.
Since Old Zhang's son needed a house, it became simple: they could trade one of their houses in Guangzhou for Old Zhang's yard, ensuring both sides wouldn't lose out. The price in Anyou Town was around ten thousand, with small property rights even going for four or five thousand.
Old Zhang's property was a storefront with five rooms and a large yard behind it. If purchased, it could definitely be exchanged for a house in Guangzhou. However, the geographical location of this house was average, being in a town, which significantly lowered its price and made selling it challenging!
One side struggled to liquidate while the other found it easy to pay; after two days of persuasion, Old Zhang and his wife were likely rummaging through their home for the property certificate!
If they traded this house for one in Guangzhou, would they have to follow him there? Holding the property certificate hidden at the bottom of a box, Aunt Zhang felt somewhat reluctant. They had spent over twenty years raising their son; now helping him one last time felt bittersweet. The couple had worked hard all their lives only to end up with nothing!
"Follow him? No way! Helping him with the house is enough; let him handle the renovations and marriage himself!" She thought about putting away their savings and settling the house deal first. Then they could buy a small apartment in town and continue living there comfortably! Lighting a cigarette in front of Aunt Zhang, she surprisingly didn't get angry.
This idea came from Shi Chui: trading the storefront for a house in Guangdong while buying a small apartment in town. They could rent out two shops and continue running their Gold Shop without any pressure! When they got too old to work, they could sell that house and move to live with their son. As long as they had money in their pockets, both their son and daughter-in-law would have to take care of them!
Old Zhang's suggestion lit up Aunt Zhang's eyes; she had always dreamed of living by the sea but never got enough of it. She had long coveted those small high-rise buildings with elevators in town. Previously saving money to help her son with his down payment felt futile, but now her dream could finally come true!
"That's settled then! Tomorrow I'll go look at houses; we absolutely won't leave here!" Sitting on Old Zhang's lap, Aunt Zhang began to envision her beautiful life.
"What houses? Tomorrow we should first ask Old Liu about renting his two storefronts. If we don't clear out our things, how can we transfer the property to someone else? If they find Old Liu first and take his place, that would be troublesome!" She shot a glance at Old Zhang; it was rare for him to be so assertive!
Shi Chui really had good ideas! With his guidance, their son's housing situation was secured, and they no longer needed to worry about anything on their end; they could enjoy some comfortable days ahead!
He had made up his mind that when he had grandchildren, he wouldn't go to Guangzhou either; he'd let Aunt Zhang go there to take care of the kids while he enjoyed his freedom and lived life on his own terms!
While Old Zhang was busy clearing out the house, Yun Wan'er was racking her brain over Shi Tianyi's situation. Shi Tianyi had directly transferred two million to her; he had asked Shi Ye about it—this money wasn't from Shi Ye. When they opened their Fishing Tackle Shop, Shi Tianyi received some funds from them, but all that money went into a public account. When Yun Wan'er went to withdraw that money, records showed that Shi Tianyi hadn't touched a single cent.
This meant that within two months, Shi Tianyi had earned over one million! How did he make that money? Without this sum, Shi Chui and Yun Wan'er wouldn't have been able to help him secure that yard. With money involved now, it indicated that Shi Tianyi was starting to do something legitimate. As long as he kept on this path, Shi Chui and Yun Wan'er would be more than willing to assist him—even if they lost some money; it would just be considered tuition fees!
"Jian Ge! Where are you planning to go for your honeymoon?" On Friday here, Brother Niu spent all day fishing with Shi Tianyi. He cast his bait into the water and happily reeled in fish all day long while also managing to snag Shi Tianyi's custom rod that was three point six meters long—something Shi Tianyi had specially made for him last night.
The ability to lend money to oneself made this friendship worth cherishing for Shi Tian. A three-point-six-meter Customized Rod didn’t cost much in Points; giving it away was no big deal.
Going to the Northeast to play in the snow, the kids from the south had never seen snow and held a special affection for it! Jian Ge was referring to his wife. Having studied at one of the Four Great Universities in the capital, he was no stranger to snow.
"Take it easy!" He reminded Jian Ge. "You’ve seen northern snow before, and you know what the roads are like after a heavy snowfall. Sister is currently under special protection; she can’t be bumped or knocked around!" After giving Jian Ge a heads-up, Shi Tian began planning his return trip.
After the wedding tomorrow, he would head back early the day after. First, he would take Brother Niu and Bird Brother to the airport, but he was torn about whether to make a detour to Nan'ao Island to cast a couple of lines.
That detour was quite far; a round trip would be a thousand kilometers!
