Reborn as a landlord in Shanghai

Chapter 9 The Parents' Discussion and Mao Xiaoyu's Excitement

To avoid his wife's nagging, Mao Jun stayed in the bathroom for an extra 5 minutes. When he came out of the bathroom after showering, his wife had already tidied up the table. His wife had already gone into the bedroom, and seeing this, Mao Jun went into the bedroom as well.

When Mao Jun entered the bedroom, he saw that his wife was not asleep yet. Instead, she was sitting on the bed with a blanket covering her stomach, leaning against the headboard, looking very worried.

"Mao Jun, tell me your analysis. Is Xiao Yu's decision to do this reliable or not? I have a feeling it's a bit unreliable." Mao Jun saw that his wife wasn't resting, so he turned around and closed the bedroom door. In the blink of an eye as he closed the door, he heard his worried wife, who was leaning against the back of the bed, ask.

"I think it should be reliable. I don't see anything unreliable about it. After all, those landlords are all at the hospital. We'll go and see for ourselves tomorrow. I believe our Xiaoyu wouldn't lie to us. We definitely need to investigate this. Besides, your son isn't that stupid to tell such a blatant lie. So I feel it's 99% true. Besides, you gave birth to the child. Don't you trust your son?" Hearing his wife's question, Mao Jun walked towards the bed and said casually.

"Of course I believe my son. After all, I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him... But you know, he's an 18-year-old kid... How could he suddenly decide to go out and do this? Can't he just work properly at the store?... At least we'd feel more at ease with us watching over him." Mao Xiaoyu's mother frowned, muttering to herself in frustration.

"As you know, our Xiaoyu is already 18 years old. He's grown up. In addition, because we used to work in Shanghai, we left him at home to study and never really took care of him. So his nature might be a bit unrestrained."

In addition, since he came to us last year, we've been managing him for more than half a year, essentially keeping him under our control. So it's normal for a kid to want to go out and work; after all, teenagers often have a rebellious streak. Now that he's 18, he probably wants to go out and explore the world!

Hearing his wife's nagging, Mao Jun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You mean we're too strict with him, making him uncomfortable, so he'd rather go out and explore than stay here?"

Upon hearing her husband's words, Mao Xiaoyu's mother raised her voice by two decibels.

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the child is 18 years old, which is the perfect time for him to go out and broaden his horizons. It's a good thing that he wants to go out and explore. As parents, we should wholeheartedly support him. Only with this kind of adventurous spirit can young people see how wonderful the outside world is."

Besides, if he doesn't take risks at his age, when will he? Is he going to wait until he's in his thirties or forties to start his adventures? Don't forget, when I was eighteen, didn't I also come to Shanghai from Yangshi to apprentice? If I had been afraid of the outside world and hadn't agreed to come to Shanghai, we wouldn't know what we'd be doing back home now. It's precisely because I dared to take risks that my family is able to have the life we ​​have now.

So I still support Xiaoyu going out to explore. Besides, Changhai Road in XX District isn't far from here, just a few stops away. He can come back anytime, so don't worry. At worst, we can ask him to come back often. I believe that as long as he has nothing to do, he will definitely come back.

"Besides, as children grow up, we parents can't protect them forever. These days, we treat our children like kites; as long as we hold the string, they can fly as high as they want. And we even hope they fly high, because who doesn't want their children to succeed, right?" Mao Jun was already sitting on the bed, pulling the blanket over his stomach, and said to his wife beside him.

"You make it sound so easy, but when he wanted to buy the house just now, he actually wanted us to buy it and put it in his name. Doesn't that mean he's grown wings and wants to fly away?" Mao Xiaoyu's mother said with dissatisfaction.

"Didn't the kid say that we have to pay property tax? If it's registered under our names, we'll pay the property tax. But when we get old and transfer it to our son's name, we'll have to pay property tax again. Since that's the case, it's better to transfer it to our son's name all at once and save on property tax. You know, property tax costs several thousand yuan each time. Your son is thinking about saving every penny he can," Mao Jun quickly defended his son when he heard his wife's dissatisfied tone.

"But I always feel a little uncomfortable. I feel like your son is calculating things so clearly with us," Mao Xiaoyu's mother said in a low voice.

Seeing his wife like this, Mao Jun gently put his arm around her shoulder, then used a little force to knock her head against his shoulder, and then whispered something.

"What's so uncomfortable about this? You wouldn't want your son to spend his whole life shaving heads, would you? Think about it, if your son gets his head shaved in our shop, you can already see his entire life in the open."

After all, you see clearly how the masters in the shop got their jobs. So if a child works in our shop, they might end up like those masters, doing the same thing for decades, and that's it for their whole life.

Moreover, he only earns a few thousand yuan a month, and there's no way he can earn more. Do you think we need your son's few thousand yuan? We certainly don't need that few thousand yuan, so if he finds a good job outside, we as parents should support him.

In my opinion, if we have the means, we should help him to develop his career more smoothly. Now is the time when he needs our help. So, we can simply spend some money to buy him a house and let him be the landlord. Even if we don't become the landlord in the future, we can use it as his wedding house, which is the same thing.

"Besides, I already saw this guy shaving a head today, and his skills are decent. At worst, we can wait a few years until his landlord comes back and doesn't do well, then we can let him take over our barbershop. By then, we'll be older, and we can gradually hand over the reins to him. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

"Sigh, this kid is like a debt collector. I don't know how much I owed him in my past life. Since that's the case, when you go tomorrow, try to see things more clearly and find out more about this matter. As for the loan, if there's really no other way, just let him take out the loan. At worst, we can work harder this year and pay off the debt by the end of the year." Although Mao Xiaoyu's mother was a little depressed, she still said with concern.

"Of course, I can't just believe whatever your son says. I definitely have to go and investigate in person to see if it's as he says. If it really is as he says, then our investment won't be a loss. After all, the interest in the bank, although considerable, is still far less than the increase in housing prices and the rent he collects."

"If the prospects are really as good as he says, we can just buy him a couple more houses and let him be a landlord for life. After all, the hospital will stay there for life, and he can be a landlord for life too." Mao Jun gently patted his wife's shoulder, planning his son's future for her.

"You're just bragging. At worst, we can just buy him a few more houses to be his landlord. Do you know how much it costs to buy a house? How many years would it take us to earn enough for one house? And don't forget about Er Yatou. In a few years, she'll need money too. It would be good if we could earn enough for Xiao Yu to buy him another house later." Mao Xiao Yu's mother retorted directly upon hearing her husband's words.

"Hehe, I was just saying. As for the future, that's a matter for the future. After all, we don't know what will happen in the future. Maybe your son will do well, and in a couple of years, he can pay for some of the house himself and ask us, the old folks, to pay for some of the house. It's hard to say for sure," Mao Jun said with an awkward laugh.

"I hope you said the same thing. If that's the case, then thank God. Ugh, this is so annoying. Go to sleep, go to sleep. There's so much to do tomorrow." Seeing that the matter was over, Mao Xiaoyu's mother told Mao Jun to go to sleep.

"Honey, look how successful your son is! How about we celebrate tonight?" Mao Jun said lewdly as his wife said she was going to bed.

"Is this what you call being successful? I'm so angry! Don't bother me, I have things to do tomorrow." As Mao Xiaoyu's mother said this, she turned around and faced Mao Jun.

"Wife..." How could he give up now? Mao Jun called out to his wife in a spoiled manner, and without caring whether she wanted to or not, he hugged her directly.

…………

While Mao Xiaoyu's parents were talking about her, Mao Xiaoyu had already returned to her room and was lying on the bed. However, because of what had just happened, she was too excited to fall asleep.

You should know that Mao Xiaoyu had done a lot of preparation for tonight's conversation. You could say that she had rehearsed every word she said in her mind countless times. The reason for doing this was to make her parents believe that what she had done was true.

Furthermore, to make the matter more reliable, Mao Xiaoyu also conducted extensive investigations. For example, the house of the retired doctor at XX Hospital was a real thing, and Mao Xiaoyu also found out the price of the house, which was indeed 45 yuan. More importantly, the retired doctor was afraid of trouble and did not agree to mortgage payments, only allowing a one-time payment.

It was precisely because the retired doctor made such a strange request that his apartment had been on the market for a month or two without selling. After all, if a mortgage were truly available, such an apartment would have been sold long ago. Of course, Mao Xiaoyu had checked the information again three days ago to confirm that it hadn't been sold yet. As for whether it had been sold in the last two or three days, Mao Xiaoyu didn't know.

However, Mao Xiaoyu believes that the retired doctor's house has been on the market for two or three months and has not been sold yet. How could it be sold so quickly in just two or three days? She believes that if she goes to see the house tomorrow, she should be able to find it. Therefore, Mao Xiaoyu is confident about the house.

Not to mention that Mao Xiaoyu had another alternative besides buying the retired doctor's house. After all, there couldn't be only one house for sale in that area; there must be other landlords selling houses. However, the price might be lower due to the location, and it might not reach the amount Mao Xiaoyu wanted. But there was nothing she could do about it, since it was the best way to trick her parents out of money.

As for the landlords and beds at the hospital, it's true that they charge 60 yuan a day. This was all investigated by Mao Xiaoyu. Mao Xiaoyu wasn't afraid of her father investigating, since all she had to do was ask the landlords standing next to the hospital.

As for her excitement today, there was no other reason than that her parents actually agreed to put the house in her name. To be honest, Mao Xiaoyu really didn't expect this step to be so simple. After all, her parents paid for the house, so it's normal for them to want to put the house in their own names.

Mao Xiaoyu had thought it would take a long time to persuade her parents to put the property in her name, but to her surprise, they agreed after only a few words. This left Mao Xiaoyu with no reason to say what she had prepared.

However, this is for the best. After all, the more reasons and excuses one gives, the more likely problems will arise. If one's parents agree directly to put the property in one's name, that would be the best outcome for one.

And there's an even more important reason: my parents actually agreed to take out a loan on our house. After all, a loan of over 100,000 yuan is no small amount. If that's the case, then there won't be any outstanding loans on our house, which will make things much easier for us later.

After all, this is a house worth 45!

How could Mao Xiaoyu not be excited and thrilled by this thought?

Moreover, Mao Xiaoyu believes that once she has the property certificate, she can proceed with her second and third steps. If she is lucky, her goal this year is to reach tens of millions in assets, and her goal for next year is to have assets of over 100 million.

Although Mao Xiaoyu can't compare to Wang Wanda, whose "small goal" is 100 million, 100 million was still an unattainable dream for Mao Xiaoyu in her previous life. If she could earn 100 million in two years after being reborn in this life, Mao Xiaoyu would think she was already doing quite well.

After all, in his previous life he was just a hairdresser, with no connection to the investment industry and no ability to make money. He lived on a mere 1 yuan a month in Shanghai, which was at most the standard of living for an ordinary person, meaning he didn't have the pressure of a mortgage or car loan.

Even if someone like that were reborn, he wouldn't actually have much ability. Anyway, Mao Xiaoyu herself was aware of her own limitations and never imagined that after being reborn, she would punch Xiao Ma, kick Da Ma, bump Dong Dong's head, and spit on Xiao Wang.
