Chapter 49 – The Children’s Future Wedding Gift

Su Danhong did not make a counteroffer. 800 yuan was a little higher than the price she was thinking of.

After working with each other for such a long time, they understood each other’s minds.

Hong Jie immediately gave her 800 yuan, and Su Danhong also counted through it like usual. Then, she gave it to Ji Jianyun after she verified it.

Hong Jie told her about the housing price in Jiangshui City. “Danhong, you don’t know this yet but the housing prices have gone up again in the last few days. Guess how much it went up.”

“Isn’t 30 yuan per square meter already pretty high? If it’s still going up, how much did it go up by?” Su Danhong asked.

“Now, it’s almost 35 yuan per square meter. I estimate that by the end of the year, it will be almost 40 per square meter!” Zhen Miaohong declared.

“That’s almost double,” Su Danhong said and was also amazed.

They originally had one apartment per person and it was a little more than 20 yuan per square meter. It was almost 40 now, so it really went up by a lot and was a big deal.

“Isn’t that right? I think the price will continue to rise. Now that wages are rising, other prices are rising. Housing is a necessity, so it is bound to go up, too! ” Zhen Miaohong stated.

Su Danhong knew how to be the accompaniment to the tune she was singing and asked, “Jie, did you buy another apartment?”

“Jie has not told anyone, but I’ll tell you. Jie really got another apartment. In the future, I plan to give it to my child as a wedding gift when they grow up,” Zhen Miaohong smiled and said to her. “If you have any spare money right now, then you should consider it. Do you want to apply for another apartment? You can absolutely rest assured that if it’s not good, then Jie will not show it to you. There is an apartment near the school, right on the other side of the university. It will be open to buy at the end of this year. I’m going to get one, too. In the future, my child can use it when they go to the university. If they don’t need it, then it will be easy to rent it out since the university is there. It only takes half an hour to walk there from the apartment.”

Su Danhong became interested. In fact, when she heard Zhen Miaohong’s remark that she was going to keep it as a wedding gift for her child, she began to be interested.

She had just applied for an apartment, but she was striving for more children. In the future, she and Jianyun will not be leaving the countryside. She wanted to stay there and live a quiet life with the orchard. However, the children would definitely fly to the big city, so wouldn’t they need a place to live when that time came?

One apartment was definitely not enough. She must prepare a few more.

“How big is it? How much is the price?” Su Danhong asked.

Now that she had done it before, her questions were to the point.

“It ranges from 99 square meters to 123 square meters. They are all family homes, with three bedrooms and two living rooms.” Zhen Miaohong was already planning on getting one, so she was clear about the details. “If it’s at the end of the year, it will be 38 yuan per square meter over there. But if we book in advance, then it will be a lot cheaper. We can pay the deposit, and then the apartment will be 50 yuan less.”

“That’s fine. Jie, when you buy it, I won’t be free then. I’ll ask Jianyun to go with you,” Su Danhong said and smiled.

“That’s no problem. Don’t worry about the availability when I show it to you,” Zhen Miao Hong said and smiled back.

It was clear that she had the confidence to say this because she wanted to sell Su Danhong’s embroidery. It was all about making money, and how could she not know some rich people? Thus, she was naturally well-informed about things.

The couple said their goodbyes to Zhen Miaohong and left the basket of eggs they had brought. Zhen Miao smiled, refused, and asked them to wait a moment. She brought out two cans of malt milk.

“Danhong, have you bought an apartment?” Ji Jianyun endured it earlier, but finally couldn’t help it when they were on their way home. He looked at his wife, who was planning to buy several apartments at the end of the year.

“I have,” Su Danhong said and nodded. She looked up and saw his troubled expression. She immediately perceived it, so she smiled and said, “I forgot to tell you that the place was bought in Jiangshui City after you came back for the New Year. I went to buy it with Hong Jie after getting there by van. She has acquaintances, which made it much cheaper. I put the deed and other certificates in the bag in the cabinet.”

“Did it cost a lot of money?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“Just a little over 2,000, it was not too much. Jianyun, I’m going to ask you to buy two more apartments with Hong Jie at the end of the year,” Su Danhong said.

Ji Jianyun gasped. “Two more?”

Even if an apartment was 99 square meters, one square meter was 38 yuan and that was almost 3,800 yuan for the apartment!

“Yes, two. There’s a university there. We can buy two and save them for our children as wedding gifts. Fortunately, Hong Jie reminded me of it, otherwise I would have forgotten to prepare for it,” Su Danhong explained.

She felt that her insight was still not enough. She had thought of paying the fine for giving birth to more children, but had not thought of preparing an apartment as a wedding gift. Regardless of whether their child was a son or a daughter, there would be no loss for each of them in the future.

“But we already have one. Do we have enough if you want to buy another one?” Ji Jianyun questioned, but didn’t want to put pressure on her.

“Yes, we can buy one first,” Su Danhong said and nodded.

They didn’t have a lot of money saved up right now. Asking for two apartments was a bit too much, so she started with one first. If they save up enough money by the end of the year, then they will ask for two apartments and Jianyun won’t be able to say anything about it.

In the days to come, she would have to earnestly make money.

When they got home, she took out her embroidery materials. She was almost done sewing the things she made for her child, and there was no shortage of small shoes and socks.

Additionally, now that Jianyun was back, she didn’t have to worry about the orchard. Thus, she could show off her skills.

She didn’t sit around all the time. She would get up and walk for ten minutes every half an hour. Otherwise, the baby in her belly wouldn’t respond.

Ji Jianyun felt guilty when he saw his wife work so hard. He became more determined to be successful.

In the afternoon, Lao Qin brought over the fruit saplings. Ji Jianyun went to handle it while Su Danhong was embroidering. This time, she wanted to make a bigger embroidery piece with “Birthday Celebration with the Eight Immortals1”. This was a custom piece she was preparing for an old madam from a wealthy family. This kind of family would definitely not be short of money, so the price for this piece must also go up.

Although Zhen Miaohong was clever, she also knew that Su Danhong was not ignorant and would not dare to treat her unfairly in terms of how things were priced, so that business could still go on.

Ji Jianyun was taking care of the things for the orchard, while Su Danhong was responsible for cooking and embroidering. They were busy, but every evening, Su Danhong still took a small watering can and went to the back mountain with Da Hei, Xiao Bai, and the other dogs. Ji Jianyun wanted to go with her, but she refused.

“Danhong is fine. Jianyun, you should not go. Even if you want to go, you can just wait for her at the foot of the mountain. Don’t follow her up.” That’s what Mother Ji told him.

Ji Jianyun was confused. “Why?”

“If you go up there, then how can the Great Fox Immortal work her magic so that the saplings will grow well? Did you really think the saplings grew because of the water? It was all done by the Great Fox Immortal!” Mother Ji whispered.

Ji Jianyun: “…so, mother, are you saying that my wife is possessed by a Great Fox Immortal2?”
