Chapter 451 Preparing to Buy a Property
This little thing did not affect Xu Han's mood. She continued to do what she was doing. As for Ze'er, she did not ask too much. She knew that Lu Chuan would definitely be careful about the severity of his beatings and would not really hurt the child. Ze'er had already gained experience from being beaten, so there was no need to worry about him.
The days passed in ordinary days, and the situation at the foot of the mountain gradually stabilized. During this period, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan went down the mountain twice. Everything was very calm and nothing special happened.
Xu Han has been unable to sit still recently and plans to take advantage of the opportunity to go down the mountain and pick up some bargains while the war is still going on.
That night, when everyone was enjoying the cool in the yard, Xu Han expressed her thoughts, "Now that the situation has stabilized, and my family has saved some money over the years, Lu Chuan and I have discussed it before, and we plan to use the money to buy some shops and houses in the county town.
So I thought, why don't we take advantage of the free time these few days and go to the county town together?"
Grandpa Zhao continued, "That's a good idea. The war has just ended, and the housing prices in the county are not high. There are many people who want to buy a house. It's an opportunity to buy a house now."
The Taoist priest also agreed, "Yes, judging from the situation, the enemy is unlikely to attack again. We should take action now while those who have escaped have not returned and no one has moved here. There must be a lot of properties for sale in the county now."
Lu Chuan replied, "Then let's go to the county town together in the next two days!"
Grandpa Zhao thought for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to move to the county town in the future? What about your family?"
Xu Han explained, "We are not moving to the county town. We are used to living in the mountains. Now our children are at home with you, the Taoist priest, to help take care of them. They don't need to go to school, so we don't need the house in the county town for the time being.
We were thinking of buying a house, preferably a slightly bigger one, so that if anything happened we could stay overnight in the county town.
Besides, the current housing prices are cheap, so whether you want to rent it out or live in it yourself, it’s the most cost-effective to buy it now.”
Lu Chuan also said, "Yes, the main thing is to buy some shops. A house will be enough, and we also need to save some for the two children. When they grow up, they can live in the county town or in their hometown. It will give them more choices."
The Taoist priest continued, "Then I suggest you buy two houses now. You have two children!"
Lu Chuan thought so too. It would be inappropriate for anyone to live in the house in the future. The two brothers should avoid having any grudges over the house.
But I don’t know what the housing prices are like in the county town now. The couple doesn’t have much money, so they would like to buy more shops.
"When I have time, I'll go to the county town to check out the housing prices! I'm still thinking of buying more shops so that it will be convenient for doing business. If I have enough money, I'll buy another house."
Grandpa Zhao thought about it and agreed without saying anything else. He just said, "You two should discuss it."
Neither the Taoist priest nor Grandpa Zhao offered to lend money to the couple, because they had lived together for such a long time and knew each other very well.
Neither of them was a short-sighted person, and they would not use it even if it was lent to them. In Xu Han's mind, one should do as much as one can, and if one does not have money, one should not buy it.
The Taoist priest continued, "You can go tomorrow. You and Xiaochuan can go. Your Grandpa Zhao and I will not go. You two can discuss the matter of buying a house.
When the time comes, stay in the county for a few more days and make inquiries before buying. When buying a house, you must be more careful and compare carefully to avoid being cheated. "
Lu Chuan responded, "Okay, then we'll go there early tomorrow morning."
Xu Han had no objection, so the matter was quickly settled.
At night, the couple closed the door, and Xu Han took out all the silver and money in the house from the space.
Now that both children no longer sleep here, it is convenient to do anything and I don’t have to avoid them like before.
Xu Han put all the money directly on the kang, and in a moment the kang was covered with money.
He had earned 7800 taels of silver from selling ginseng before, plus the 1000 taels of living expenses given by the Taoist priest, and the 1000 taels of reward from the emperor later. The total amount was nearly taels of silver.
In addition, there was some miscellaneous change, and the money Lu Chuan earned from hunting before the drought, which added up to about two or three hundred taels.
The New Year's money given to the two children by the Taoist priest, Grandpa Zhao, Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun every year, added up to 2000 taels of silver.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan counted the money in the house and found that it totaled two silver coins, not including the jewelry and other ornaments that the Taoist priest brought back for Xu Han.
Of course, those jewelries and the like would definitely not be exchanged for money, which means that the family now has a total of two silver coins, which is all the silver that can be used, and it is quite a lot when added up.
There are still some hundred-year-old ginsengs in Xu Han's space. Except for the ones for Grandpa Zhao, Xu Han doesn't plan to touch the rest.
The family doesn't need money urgently, so there's no need to use those things to exchange for money.
During the seven years of natural disasters and turbulent times, the family has not spent much money, and of course has not earned much money either.
After buying the property this time, I guess most of the family’s money will be spent.
Lu Chuan put all the money in order and said, "What are you going to do with this money? Are you going to use it all to buy real estate?"
Xu Han put the money into the space, thought for a while and said, "We don't need money at the moment, so leaving one or two hundred taels at home is enough. You can go hunting later, and I can do some other business or something.
These are all ways to make money. Although the money is not much, it is always enough to spend. As for the rest of the money, I will convert it all into real estate."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she did not forget to ask, "What do you think? Is this arrangement okay?"
After all, this money is not Xu Han's own. It is the common property of the couple. If Xu Han wants to use this money, she must ask Lu Chuan's opinion.
Hearing this, Lu Chuan grinned and said, "I'll listen to my wife. I think your arrangement is very good and there is no need to change it."
After saying that, he hugged Xu Han's waist from behind and gently bit Xu Han's earlobe...
Lu Chuan knew in his heart that everything Xu Han did was for this family and for the children in the family. Besides, she was not going to use the money to do anything unreliable.
If that's the case, why oppose it? Lu Chuan doesn't have that kind of male chauvinism, thinking that he must make his own decisions on all matters.
