Chapter 347: Chapter 346 Buying a House Together

"Are residential buildings this expensive now?" Zhen Yuxin did some quick calculations, "Each square meter costs between 5500 and 5600."

"Exactly! When we bought our place, it was only 5100 per square meter! The price of housing has really increased over this past year and a half!"

Zhen Yu didn’t dwell on the rising cost of housing anymore and directly asked, "Each of us chips in fifty thousand for this house, right?"

"Yep!" Mrs. Zhen nodded, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at her daughter.

Zhen Yu exchanged a look with her brother, and seeing that he had no objection, she nodded and said, "Since you want to buy it, go ahead!"

Even though expanding the game hall would be somewhat disrupted, their mother’s marital life was also important. As long as the disagreements weren’t too severe, Zhen Yu could choose to compromise.

But! She would never put herself and her brother completely at risk.

She could make concessions, but she couldn’t give up her bottom line unconditionally.

So, just as Mrs. Zhen was beaming with joy upon hearing her children agreeing to buy the house, Zhen Yu suddenly said seriously, "Mom! Tomorrow is Saturday."

"Yes, it is!"

"Since you and Uncle Gu plan to make the new house marital property, then on Monday, take my brother to change the property deed of the shop into Zhen Yan’s name."

Mrs. Zhen’s smile slightly faltered, then she quickly responded, "Mom understands, I’ll do it on Monday!"

Zhen Yan, who had been quietly listening, didn’t interject a word.

Because he firmly believed that his mother and sister would never argue over money!

When the three of them arrived in the living room, Gu’s father and Gu Qing were already there, waiting, and the decision to buy the new house was thus made.

——

"My daughter has really grown distant from me..." Mrs. Zhen thought a bit sadly afterwards.

But what overwhelmed her more was a sense of helplessness.

She was pregnant again, and she couldn’t completely ignore the needs of the little one inside... Old Gu’s request wasn’t really unreasonable. Contributing money together to buy a house, registering it under her and his name, and later leaving it for the little one, provided a security for their life. This too is what parents should do, providing the greatest support they can for their children.

Of course! The little one hasn’t been born yet, it’s a bit early to consider these things!

But since she and Old Gu had different plans for their pre-marital properties, each wanting to leave them to their original children, if they don’t set aside something for the little one now, who knows what the situation will be in two years?

Compared to Old Gu, her daughter’s request was even less excessive.

She was already remarried, and if she didn’t timely change the pre-marital assets into her children’s names, it could become very complicated to settle in the future.

Since her daughter had warned her, she couldn’t just knowingly do nothing about it, right?

So that’s why the shop’s name change needs to be done early!

Taking this opportunity, she could also ask Old Gu to quickly change the wonton shop into Xiaoqing’s name too!

Ah... Remarriage is like this! Mid-life couple, each with their children, always have too many things to consider...

——

Since they had saved up some money, Zhen Yu decisively contacted Zhang Liang that night and bought twenty more computers at a price of 4000 each.

Over the weekend, along with the computers, twenty sets of computer desks and chairs were also delivered!

At the same time, Zhen Yu also received some good news! Zhang Liang said that internet cafes were starting to appear in the provincial capital!

He had specifically inquired for her; the area had already launched ADSL broadband services, and the rates were much cheaper than in Qi City.

According to reports, the business will expand to Qi City by the latest May Day!

Zhen Yu was thrilled to no end!

When Zhang Liang came to install machines at the game hall, she went out of her way to knit several strings of rainbow farts, classic flattery of the future era for him.

Zhang Liang promised her that he would keep an eye out and notify her immediately once the Qi City dedicated internet service was initiated! And he would definitely be the first on the scene to help wire the game hall!

Of course! This was originally part of Zhang Liang’s job scope, and he was naturally happy to do a good turn for Zhen Yu! Putting Zhen Cheng Game Hall as his top priority!

After all, it was truly his major client!

Early Monday morning, Zhen Yu still ended up going with her mother and brother to change the name on the property deed.

She was worried her half-grown brother wouldn’t take good care of their elderly pregnant mother.

In the northeastern winter, the snow compacted by car tires on the roads was hard and slippery; a fall would be no laughing matter!

They took a taxi there and back.

After submitting the documents, they just had to wait to go pick up the new property deed on the scheduled date, which Zhen Yan could handle on his own with the household registration book!

After the threesome returned home, a warm lunch was still waiting for them. Whether Gu’s father knew what the three had been out doing, only he and Mrs. Zhen knew.

And if he did know, whether he harbored any grudges about it was something only the heavens, the earth, and he himself would know.

Anyway, Zhen Yu didn’t mind these things! Since she would only be dealing with Gu’s father until she graduated from high school. Three years might seem long, but in reality, it was merely a blink of an eye. In the days to come, they would be together less and apart more.

Ultimately, of the Zhen family, only Mrs. Zhen would end up spending day and night with Gu’s father. It was because of this consideration that Zhen Yu kept guiding her brother to make concessions repeatedly, leaving leeway for their mother in everything! Whether it was remarrying or buying a house, among others not limited to these two instances...

---

After the major expansion of the game hall, there was a brief period when some gaming stations were left vacant. Fortunately, the business returned to its usual state in just a few days, with all thirty-six computers occupied as always.

Once the business of the game hall got back on track, Gu’s father immediately started going out frequently.

Cash was cash, and the house was on hand! Within three days, Gu’s father announced at the dinner table that the new house was secured!

At this point, there was less than a week left before the start of school at First High School and Affiliated School! Gu’s father’s intention was to clean up the new house as soon as possible and move in.

But the reality was that Zhen Cheng Game Hall needed a family member to stay overnight!

Neither Mrs. Zhen nor Gu’s father could move!

Even the three kids were unwilling to move!

Zhen Yan was irked by the idea of running back and forth for meals and sleep!

Zhen Yu was uncomfortable with the idea of leaving her mother alone to manage the game hall, even with Gu’s father living there, as she was still afraid he might miss something!

Xiao Gu was even more unwilling! He said he’d rather sleep on the diner table since there was heating there!

So, naturally, Gu Qing was neither willing nor permitted to move over there by himself!

Hence, the moving was temporarily put on hold. Zhen Yu and Gu’s father discussed with everyone at meal times every day, trying to figure out how to solve the dilemma of the game hall needing family oversight. Unfortunately, after discussing it over and over, no one had any good solutions!

Without cash register software, everything they said was futile! Everything they did was in vain!

When Zhen Yu couldn’t sleep at night, she often tossed and turned thinking!

Why? Why is there no butterfly willing to flap its wings twice in the software market?!
