Wu Darning drove away.
Inside the car, Mo Qishen then spoke, “Darning, didn’t you mention before that you wanted to invest in something?”
“Hmm.” Wu Darning nodded.
Wu Darning was a rural man with poor living conditions in his family home. He hoped to invest his spare money into something that would increase his earnings and help his grandparents, parents, and siblings live a better life.
In the 1960s and 70s, before the one-child policy, it wasn’t uncommon for rural families to have seven or eight children.
Wu Darning, being the middle child, despite having made some money while working with Mo Qishen, he was unable to provide for his large family.
“Invest in property.” Mo Qishen then said.
Wu Darning, puzzled, asked, “Brother Six, are you talking about buying houses?”
“Hmm.” Mo Qishen nodded, “Your sixth sister-in-law is correct. In the future, property will certainly play a vital role in the economy. Investing in several houses in Beijing will be stronger than any other investment.”
He carefully thought about it. Actually, what Ni Yang said made a lot of sense.
In these times of great change, university graduates are allocated jobs in big cities, farmers are coming to big cities to find work, individual businesses are moving to big cities; as the population increases, the rise of house prices is inevitable!
Wu Darning laughed, “Houses can’t be eaten or worn, it’s enough to have a place to live. Besides, I have a homestead in my hometown. I plan to build a brick house during the New Year so the whole family can move in!”
In the 80s, most farmers lived in straw or mud houses. Building a brick house was a remarkable thing, equal in honor to having a college student in the family!
Wu Darning’s ability to build a new house in his hometown can be considered as bringing honor to the Wu Family.
Mo Qishen chuckled, “Instead of spending money on building a house in your hometown, it would be better to buy a large house in Beijing. This way you can use it for investment and for living, it simply kills two birds with one stone.”
Building a house in the countryside at this time is not cheap. It is more or less like buying a house in Beijing, and buying a house may even be cheaper.
“Let’s forget about it,” Wu Darning scratched his head while laughing, “My family in Beijing doesn’t have any relatives. If I really bring my parents and grandparents over from my hometown, they may not be used to it.”
How could a house possibly appreciate in value?
With Beijing’s population so thin, what if he ends up with lots of vacant houses that he can’t sell? Who will he cry to then?
In Wu Darning’s view, the suggestion to invest in property is simply unreliable! “Brother Six, where are we going now?” Wu Darning turned to look at Mo Qishen.
“To the sales office.” Mo Qishen replied nonchalantly.
“Huh?” Wu Darning looked at Mo Qishen in confusion.
“To buy a house.” Mo Qishen explained.
Wu Darning was almost crying, “Brother Six, I’m not buying a house.”
He was going to go back to the countryside to build a house!
“I’m buying it for myself.” Mo Qishen continued to say.
Upon hearing that, Wu Darning heaved a sigh of relief, “Brother Six, doesn’t your family have enough houses?”
Mo Qishen lit a cigarette, “To save up, for the dowry.”
Buy a house for dowry?
Was Mo Qishen kicked in the head by a donkey?
Mo Qishen, as if he sawWu Darning’s concerns, laughed and said: “Don’t worry, your sixth sister-in-law won’t be wrong. Why don’t you also buy a couple of houses?”
“No way!” Wu Darning firmly replied: “I need to save the money in my pocket to build a little western-style building back in the village!”
A little western-style building!
By that time, he could definitely dazzle those who used to look down on his family.
Just thinking about this made Wu Darning somewhat excited.
Mo Qishen exhaled a puff of smoke slowly, “As you like.” It’s not right to push someone on such matters.
Even when they left the sales office, Wu Darning was still in a state of bewilderment.
“Brother Six, Brother Six, shall we go back now and cancel all those houses? You shouldn’t just buy so many houses because of what your sixth sister-in- law said…”
With so many houses, if he can’t sell them in the future, he won’t have a place to cry!
That’s not the way to court a woman.
Although it’s not his money, Wu Darning still feels sorry for Mo Qishen.
People in love are just idiots!
Mo Qishen usually seemed like a very astute person, but when he gets confused, he gets really confused!
Mo Qishen just laughed, “It’s okay. If they eventually don’t sell, I’ll just consider it as a loss in gambling.”
