Chapter 440 Buying a House

Fortunately, when the children were in sixth grade, they suddenly grew taller, and both of them became slimmer and were no longer chubby.

Seeing this, Shen Zhixia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they weren't fat.

Huo Chenzhou looked at her and said with a wry smile, "You're worried about that? Even if they're fat, if they really can't find partners, I'll just support them."

He wasn't worried about that at all.

Many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Shen Zhixia thought that the property prices would appreciate a lot in the future. She already had some money, plus her savings over the years, so she could indeed buy a few houses to hoard.

Buying a house is a big deal, and she couldn't do it secretly. She had to go through the motions with Huo Chenzhou. So she told Huo Chenzhou about it: "Now that the children are grown up, they will need a place to live in a few years. So I plan to buy them a house so they will have a place to live. Of course, we also need to buy a house."

Although they have a place to live now, the house is an investment. The main thing is that she can completely relax when the house price goes up in the future.

If she didn't want to be too ostentatious, she would actually prefer to buy a bunch of houses. She could simply become a landlady and have a steady stream of money just by sitting at home. Just thinking about it makes her feel that such a life would be very happy.

Huo Chenzhou had no objections. He had always listened to Shen Zhixia, and when he heard that Shen Zhixia wanted to buy a house, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, if you want to buy, then buy."

After saying that, she introduced Shen Zhixia to someone who would become a real estate agent. As soon as she heard that Shen Zhixia wanted to buy a house, she started talking to Shen Zhixia about the house.

"Now everyone likes to have a yard so they can grow some vegetables. My relatives have a house for sale. The whole family has gone out to work, so the house is left behind. Do you want to buy it? Their house is in town."

Houses in villages and towns are in high demand now, and many people want to buy them.

However, Shen Zhixia did not buy it. She knew that in the next few years, the country would have many opportunities to make money, and many people would go to the city to work. The population of rural areas and towns would move out, and at that time, there would be basically no people in these places.

Therefore, the property prices in rural areas and towns are depreciating. If you buy them to live in yourself, there is no problem, but if you want to invest in such properties, then there is no need at all.

So Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "If this house were for us to live in, then we could buy it, but I want to buy it for my children now. They will definitely settle down outside when they grow up, so I plan to buy a house in the city."

She phrased it tactfully, since she couldn't very well say that she looked down on the houses in town.

The man said enviously, "It must be so nice to be your child. You're buying them houses right now."

Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "We have to think about them. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when they grow up, they will have nothing and will be looked down upon."

Actually, that's not the case. Both children are very outstanding now. They haven't inherited Huo Chenzhou's dislike of studying. Their grades are excellent, which is very gratifying. Even without Shen Zhixia's support, they will definitely be able to support themselves when they grow up.

But you don't need to say that in front of outsiders.

The man said, “Your child is so young, and you’re already thinking about them. You’re such a good parent. Nowadays, parents have children because they hope their children will have a bright future and be able to support them. But you don’t have that thought at all.”

Shen Zhixia said, "It's uncertain whether they will be able to support themselves in the future. How could I possibly expect them to support me?"

She really didn't have that idea. When she gave birth, all she wanted was for her two children to grow up safely and happily, and that would be enough for her.

As for whether the child would respond to her, she felt it was unimportant, since she had no expectations of the child anyway.

In the end, Shen Zhixia decided to buy two houses, both in Shanghai. Both houses were very large and could accommodate a large family. One of the houses even had a yard.

This will appreciate in value significantly in the future.

Shen Zhixia then made the decision.

The woman was naturally delighted to receive a large commission, and she said, "These two houses are worth 100,000 and 150,000 respectively. Are you sure you want them both?"

Shen Zhixia said, "I'll go take a look first. Also, I need to borrow some money."

Actually, she didn't need to borrow money, since she had money. But having too much money at this time wasn't a good thing. She created the impression that she didn't have much money left after buying the house.

Just then, Zhang Weihong happened to pass by and overheard Shen Zhixia talking about buying a house. Her eyes widened immediately: "Little Shen, you're buying a house? Buying a house is great! Everyone needs a place to call home, and a really nice one at that."

Shen Zhixia didn't want to tell too many people about buying a house, but Zhang Weihong wasn't an outsider; she was a very good friend. After so many years of getting along, they had indeed developed a deep friendship. So she said, "I'm planning to buy a house in Shanghai so that when the kids grow up, they'll have a place to live. Sister-in-law, are you going to buy one? I see that Xiaojian is getting older, so why don't you buy him a house as well, so he'll have a place to live in the future?"

Zhang Weihong then asked, "How much will it cost?"

The man thought another big customer had arrived, so he happily said, "I have another house for sale, 150,000, but if you like it, you can negotiate the price."

"No, no! It's so expensive, how can we afford it?"

Zhang Weihong's eyes widened immediately: "I don't have that much money. Besides, I'm not going to buy a house for Wang Xiaojian. If he wants to buy one, he can buy it himself. Don't waste my money."

Shen Zhixia said tactfully, "Sister-in-law, buying a house is also an investment. Houses look expensive now, but they may appreciate in value in the future. Wouldn't you make a profit if you bought it?"

Zhang Weihong waved her hand: "No, no, let's talk about the future later. I'm not thinking about the future now, and I'm not buying it now anyway."

Shen Zhixia sighed and didn't say much. In the end, she told Huo Chenzhou about it, and the two of them went to look at houses together and bought them.

Everything went smoothly.

Shen Zhixia was quite happy.

Buying a house is a success.

All the property here belongs to her.
