When I heard these words outside the door just now, I was a little baffled. I asked as soon as I came up, mainly out of curiosity, but also wanted to see Zhang Ketao's joke!
"Oh, they all say raising children to guard against old age. Your aunt and I raised a debt collector!" Uncle Zhang said with a sigh, and gave Zhang Ketao a fierce look.
Zhang Ketao, who was on the side, fully carried forward the spirit of being big and not ashamed, and looking at the feeling, it was as if the person who was talking about at this time was not him! He lowered his head, did not say a word, did not excuse anything.
"What the hell... What's going on?" I quickly asked when I saw that the atmosphere was a bit bad.
"He said he wanted to get married, he wanted to buy a house and had no money, so he forced us to pay him!" Uncle Zhang looked at Zhang Ketao and said angrily.
"Oh..." It turns out that this is the case. Zhang Ketao wants to get married. I really haven't mentioned this matter to me. However, this is a family affair, and I can't talk about it.
In fact, it seems that young people get married and old people buy houses with funds. It seems that it has become a common social phenomenon. There are still too few people like the old seven who say they have to support themselves.
What's more embarrassing is that some parents have that condition, but he says nothing is necessary. For some, the parents themselves are also ordinary, and he can't count on it!
In the final analysis, it's the sky-high price of the house! Chinese real estate is still too expensive! The price per square meter is more than one person's two months' salary, and buying a house is almost a huge asset!
Even if you just want to buy a 60-square-meter small house, after a rough calculation, you have to eat or drink for ten years to earn it! However, how can one not eat or drink? For ordinary wage earners, this pressure is still too great.
Generally speaking, the man who buys a house for marriage is the responsibility of the man. A boy who starts working after graduating from university may not be able to save enough money to buy a house from the age of 23 to 30. I am afraid that he can save enough for the down payment. It's excellent!
Moreover, this premise has to be frugal and not dare to spend a penny! There is no way to talk about things like socializing with friends, courtesy and exchanges! But in today's society, if you don't even want to spend money on these things, how do you talk about personal connections
This is another society that pays great attention to personal connections. If you are too stingy, you will have fewer friends, and the road will become narrower and narrower. Therefore, some necessary social and courtesy exchanges are necessary!
If this is the case, plus eating and wearing on your own, it will not be easy to save a down payment in 20 years! By then, this man is already in his 40s. Who else will he marry
Housing prices have been rising. The later you buy a house, the more expensive it is. The speed of saving money will never catch up with the price increase. Therefore, for most young people, it is almost impossible to buy a house without the support of their parents. !
Of course, it is undeniable that some
Young people can earn the money without relying on their parents and rely on their own abilities to buy a house, but how many social elites can there be? Moreover, I don’t know if you have discovered that for those elites who can afford a house by their own efforts, their parents are not short of money!
In fact, Zhang Ketao is quite a friend. He helps every time I am busy, but the reason why he looks so petty is probably because he is really short of money!
Right now, the situation in Zhang Ketao's family seems to be such a contradiction. His parents are ordinary workers, so many years of hard work, how much savings can be saved, but Zhang Ketao opened a detective agency, it is precarious, there are today and no tomorrow, income is also unstable, now want to buy a house to get married, it is indeed somewhat difficulty.
Zhang Ketao's parents said that he was a debt collector, but in fact they were very helpless. They had no abilities in his life, and they had not been able to leave a suite for his son. They felt uncomfortable. Now, the son has a partner, wants to get married, and opens his mouth to ask for money, but they can't get it out. At the same time they scold his son, they are actually very upset in their hearts.
I guess that this Spring Festival their family has never stopped, because they are worried about buying a house, what can they have a good mood, and seeing their parents scolding him, Zhang Ketao did not say a word, I am afraid that I feel guilty in my heart. He has to rely on his parents, and he has no face to say anything more.
"How bad is it?" Seeing that my childhood partner was in trouble, I couldn't stop the loyal spirit and asked quickly.
"What? You want to lend me money?" Zhang Ketao looked a little surprised when he heard my question!
The most difficult thing these days is to open the mouth to borrow money, and the harder thing is to be borrowed! Once the money is borrowed, when can it be repaid, and whether it can be repaid, that doesn’t necessarily matter! Many of my friends broke up because of this borrowing of money, and in the end they stayed forever.
Guo Degang once said in cross talk that if you want your friends to fall out, you can do two things, one is to borrow money, the other is to start a company in partnership! It really smells like a famous saying!
But now, when I see the celebration of the New Year, Zhang Ketao's family is worried about it.
"Yeah, how bad are you?" I asked.
"It's... it's five or sixty thousand..." Zhang Ketao said embarrassedly, and then explained it.
It turned out that after he and Bai Lu dated, the relationship between the two of them heated up very quickly, and they had reached the point of discussing marriage. They chose a house, which was not big, that is, one room and one living room of about 60 square meters. Remote, the price is relatively cheaper.
But even so, adding all the savings of Zhang Ketao and his parents together, the down payment is still 50,000 yuan short. Bailu’s family situation is even more special. Her mother suffers from heart disease and does not have medical insurance.
Not only did they have no savings, but they also had high debts. Buying a house to get married would not be able to borrow at all.
The problem now is that it is difficult to encounter such a suitable property. Zhang Ketao has already paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan. If the down payment cannot be paid on time and the deposit is not refunded, the money will be lost in vain!
And this down payment will be handed in after the fifteenth of the first lunar month, so the family is very impatient now, it is difficult for relatives and friends to borrow the money. Just because they were eager to borrow money, no one came to visit the house for New Year's Eve this Spring Festival, and everyone was hiding from them!
This is true: the poor are in the busy city and no one asks, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains!
"You kid, what kind of deposit do you pay if you don't have money!" I said in a bit of a complaint against Zhang Ketao.
"Before, I took a big job, and after all, I could make a lot of money. I didn't expect it to be difficult to find out. I have never had a clue..." Zhang Ketao explained without confidence.
"Listen to his nonsense, what big job can make you make so much money at once! This kid is a tiger!" Uncle Zhang interjected dissatisfiedly.
"Really!" Zhang Ketao insisted.
"Come on, I'll put the money on you first! Go back to the bank with me to get it!" Seeing that the father and son were in a bad mood, I hurriedly said.
In fact, I am also short of money. Although my income is quite high now, it is still precarious. The contract of the TV station has been signed for one year. If people don’t want to use me when it expires, my income will be gone. The clinic benefits It's not bad now, but with an income of 10,000 to 20,000 a month, I still have to pay Xiaofeng and Xiaojianxin. Excluding other expenses, there is not much left.
Moreover, Wang Nan and I are now talking about marriage, and I have to start buying a house to get married, and I need money everywhere. I lent 50,000 yuan to Aunt Li before, and then borrowed 50,000 yuan from Zhang Ketao, and the 100,000 yuan is gone!
However, seeing my childhood partner encounter difficulties, I can't bear it, and I can't force him to borrow loan sharks! So I decided to lend it to him.
"Really, buddy, didn't you fool me?" Zhang Ketao seemed to see hope, his eyes lighted up, "Don't worry, I will pay you back the money soon, as long as the investigation is completed!"
"It's a buddy for many years, really interesting!" Finally, Zhang Ketao laughed, patted my thigh, and said happily.
"Stop talking, I said the ugly thing ahead, you have to write an IOU, and I have to pay interest!" This guy, his hands are not heavy, and he patted my leg painfully. I hurriedly rubbed and slapped his leg. .
Zhang Ketao's hands were quick and fast, and he blocked my revenge with his hands, "Huh? You want interest!"
"The interest I want is to help me investigate the case in the future and be on call!" I said with a smirk.
"Mom! For fifty thousand yuan, I will sell it to you!" Zhang Ketao responded with a smiley face. (End of this chapter)
