Chapter 171: Money, Not House
The grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child. When he was in the countryside, if his grandparents had not helped him, Zhou Jing would have starved to death by his stepmother.
Even though his grandparents were in a very difficult situation at the time, they still kindly adopted him, which gave him the opportunity to survive and grow up healthily.
Now it's finally time for him to give back.
After many people learned that Zhou Jing was not his grandparents' biological grandson, they speculated whether he was truly filial or was planning to take over his grandparents' property.
Especially the family of my grandparents’ biological son, they said the most unpleasant things.
Haha, Zhou Jing doesn’t dare to say that he is a gentleman, but that family is definitely villains.
When he was in the village, his grandfather only told him that he was demoted because someone reported him.
It was also after his grandfather was rehabilitated and returned to the city that his son shamelessly visited him and acted pitiful. Only then did Zhou Jing realize that his grandfather had actually been reported by his own son!
No wonder the old couple were always unhappy when they were in the village. In addition to the sadness about the world, they were more disappointed with their son and reflected on their own failures, right?
When his grandparents brought him back to the city, the man still ignored them. Later, when the property was returned, the man began to visit them frequently and beg for forgiveness.
How ridiculous is that? How could grandpa and grandma not understand the contrast between before and after?
But even so, grandpa and grandma still discussed in front of Zhou Jing that they wanted to give one of the properties to that man.
Zhou Jing remembered clearly that his grandfather had said that no matter what the other party did, he would still fulfill his fatherly duties. But this was the last time, and it was to put an end to the relationship between father and son.
But after Grandpa made the decision, before he had time to inform that man, the man came to his house. He brought a group of people who had betrayed Grandpa together with him.
In the end, my grandfather was so angry that he fell ill on the spot and died before he could be taken to the hospital...
From then on, Zhou Jing and his grandmother depended on each other.
As soon as Grandpa's funeral was over, Grandma took Zhou Jing to the real estate department and transferred all the houses to his name, completely making the man give up.
Grandma's friend once advised her: "How can you hand over all your family assets? What if this child also..."
Grandma replied firmly, "Then I will accept my fate. If this child turns out to be bad, it proves that Zhou and I didn't teach him well. This is my retribution."
He would never let his grandmother suffer retribution. His grandmother was such a kind person, she must enjoy her old age and live a long life.
The houses in this area are too old. Apart from the geographical advantage, they cannot be sold at a high price in other aspects. If it weren't for the demolition, would he still be worried about this house?
When Ye Ke heard Zhou Jing say that there were only two people at home, he didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that he had finished eating the oranges, he smiled and handed him a bag of biscuits.
"Let's move to a place with our backs to the sun tomorrow, shall we? It's too irritating to be in the direct sun like this all the time."
Ye Ke touched her little face. Even in the winter sun, the ultraviolet rays were extremely strong. If she continued to be exposed to the sun like this, she would become a black egg!
Zhou Jing patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
As a result, the seat I had reserved was not used at all the next day.
Because the demolition office took a small step back, they discussed with the people from the street office and learned that most of the people causing trouble were from families with large populations.
So we added a little bit to the head fee.
It's really just a little bit, and it also states that only the first fifty households to sign can enjoy this policy.
The negotiating alliance collapsed in an instant.
Everyone was huddled together in a noisy crowd, vying to be in the front.
In the end, people from the demolition office and the street office came out to maintain order, which made the team more organized.
Ye Ke and the other two, who were originally sitting in the center, were inexplicably pushed to the front.
Ye Anan got the 22nd place and Zhou Jing got the 23rd place.
Ye Ke was speechless about Ye Anan's good luck. How could she get it without even moving?
The next step is to wait for the demolition office to come and measure and sign for confirmation.
Ye Ke asked Ye Anan whether she wanted a house or money at that time.
Although Ye Ke didn't know that Wanhe Street had been demolished in her previous life, she knew about the resettlement houses after the demolition. Although they were not notorious, they were also criticized.
Because the resettlement housing was built too densely, except for the few buildings on the outermost edge, every household inside had no access to sunlight.
And the location is average, so the house price is very low.
In his previous life, Ye Ke was shown this community by an agent because his housing budget was low.
She wanted to secretly guide Ye Anan to ask for money instead of a house.
Anyway, the housing prices are not high now, so you might as well use the money to buy another house. It will not be worse than the resettlement house anyway.
Ye Anan: "Of course it costs money! The resettlement house is too far away. It takes me at least an hour to get here every day for work. I might as well just use the money to buy another one nearby."
She had already found a house, and it was Yu Xiuran who helped her find it after get off work. She was just waiting for the demolition payment to come in and buy it directly.
Although she could have bought the house directly with her own money without waiting for the demolition compensation, she had already deposited the large amount in a fixed deposit, and it would be a pity to withdraw it now. She decided to wait for the demolition compensation, which would not be a long time before it came.
Ye Ke clicked her tongue in amazement. How lucky was her cousin? How could she avoid the pit automatically?
Thinking about the friendly revolutionary friendship of the past few days, Ye Ke reminded Zhou Jing beside him: "Indeed, the location of the resettlement housing is quite remote. It would be better to use the money to buy a house nearby? This place is close to the hospital and school, and life and transportation are all convenient."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his eyes were looking at Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing blinked at the reminder and said, "I also plan to just take the money. Once I get into university this year, I'll take Grandma and move directly to another province to settle down."
Ye Ke and Ye Anan gave thumbs up at the same time.
What a great person Zhou Jing is! He is enthusiastic, kind, filial, and has excellent character and academic performance.
Ye Ke decided to be a good person until the end, "So where do you plan to go to?"
"Hai City or Jing City, right?" Grandma is getting older, and the suffering she endured when she was sent down to the countryside is gradually showing up in her body.
He wanted to study in a city with developed medical care so that he could provide treatment for his grandmother.
Ye Ke didn't know why he chose these two cities, but he enthusiastically recommended them: "Wow, they're both big cities."
"I went to Haishi last year. They've established a new Pudong New Area there in the past two years, and it seems like it's going to develop very quickly. If I had the money, I'd definitely buy a few properties there. Maybe I could catch the booming economy."
Ye Anan looked at her with an expression as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Ke continued, "Beijing is also a good place. If I were to get into university there, I'd have to borrow money to buy several houses. If I can't afford the city center, I can buy in the surrounding areas. After all, it's the capital. Maybe one day development will spread to the surrounding areas, and my house will become valuable."
