: I can’t make enough money to keep up with the price increase

It's December, and the year seems to be passing by very quickly.

Lan Xinya, who originally planned to buy a house, was still short of a down payment of 10,000 yuan at the beginning of the year.

Seeing that by the end of the year, she could barely save 10,000 yuan, but the house price rose again!

A year of hard work was in vain. Her progress in making money could not keep up with the increase in housing prices, so she still could not afford to buy a house——

At this moment, Lan Xinya began to regret.

If she had known about this situation, she would have asked for 10,000 yuan from her son no matter what!

It's a pity that my daughter-in-law is too powerful and she can't handle it.

In the past few months, Lan Xinya has occasionally seen her daughter-in-law Zhou Lan.

When the seasons change, Zhou Lan inevitably goes to her own store to chat with her about home affairs. When she leaves, she takes a few sets of clothes from her own store with her.

Although Lan Xinya’s clothes are very cheap, they still cost money to buy!

She has always taken advantage of others, but this is the first time someone has taken advantage of herself!

Every time she thinks of this, Lan Xinya becomes extremely angry——

But Zhou Lan didn't care whether she was angry or not, he just focused on her as the mother-in-law. What happened to giving his daughter-in-law a few sets of clothes?

As a daughter-in-law, instead of giving clothes to relatives and friends from her mother-in-law’s shop, it’s time for her to have some fun~!

Lan Xinya never thought that one day she would be manipulated.

If she hadn't wanted to get some benefits from her daughter-in-law in the future and wanted her son to provide for her in the future, she would have fallen out with Zhou Lan, her daughter-in-law!

It is precisely because she has a plan that Lan Xinya endures until now.

But she couldn't bear it anymore.

She wants to buy a house!

If the daughter-in-law stops her son from giving money again, she will never let Zhou Lan take away a penny from her store again!

…

At the end of the month, Meng Dabao took a day off at the construction site, and Lan Xinya called her son to the store.

There was no one in the store at the moment, so Lan Xinya could have a good talk with her son.

"Dabao, do you still remember when your mother told you at the beginning of the year that she wanted to buy a house with 10,000 yuan?"

When Lan Xinya mentioned this matter, Meng Dabao immediately fell silent.

But Lan Xinya did not stop her plan because of her son's silence.

"Dabao, do you know that if you had given Mom 10,000 yuan at the beginning of the year, Mom would have had the down payment to buy a house!"

"But now, after working hard for a year to open a shop, my mother has earned 10,000 yuan, but she is further away from the down payment for buying a house!"

"If you don't help mom, mom will never be able to buy a house in this life!"

Lan Xinya still said the same thing, but this time her tone was much better than the matter-of-fact attitude she had when she wanted to get the money at the beginning of the year.

Meng Dabao is aware of the increase in house prices.

His job is to work on the construction site, and the topics of chat among the co-workers in their free time revolve around the house.

The prices of newly developed houses have indeed increased a lot. Fortunately, the prices of second-hand old houses, especially those built ten or twenty years ago, have not increased much.

Meng Dabao and his wife discussed that they did not have enough money, so what they wanted to buy in the future was an old second-hand house.

His wife's sales performance has been good this year, and her commission is quite high. His salary has also increased a bit, and they are getting closer and closer to buying a house.

Moreover, the family found out not long ago that the young couple wanted to buy a house.

His father is also very supportive of his plan, saying that he can provide some support when they decide on the house and want to buy it.

Meng Dabao had planned to settle on a house years ago. Now was the time to spend money, and he definitely couldn't give it to his biological mother.

So after Lan Xinya told her son that she had done a lot of ideological work, Meng Dabao had no intention of letting go.

This makes Lan Xinya unable to sit still!

"Dabao! Are you still my son?!"

"After I gave birth to you, you didn't know how to be filial at all?"

"Always listen to your wife, you are a man, you have to have your own opinion!" Lan Xinya hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.

After listening to her words, Meng Dabao thought for a moment and replied, "Mom, we also want to buy a house and we can't lend you any money."

Although Meng Dabao is not smart, he is not stupid after his wife's teachings.

He knew that even if he took out the money, it would be a loan, not a free gift.

But now, he doesn't even want to borrow it, so it's even more impossible to give it to him for free!

When Lan Xinya heard this, she was immediately disappointed with her son!

"Dabao! I am your biological mother. Since you don't want to talk to me, then I will tell you!"

"As a son, you should be filial to your parents. From now on, when you pay your salary every month, you must give me part of it for my future pension!"

She originally didn't want to make things so tense, but now Lan Xinya realizes that if she wants to get the money, she must go online!

When Meng Dabao heard what his own mother said, he was helpless.

But it is indeed a matter of course for a son to be filial to his mother.

Meng Dabao lowered his head and thought for a while, then reluctantly agreed, "From then on, I will give you... five hundred yuan every month."

His current monthly salary is only about 3,500 yuan.

When Lan Xinya heard that it was only five hundred, she immediately became dissatisfied!

"How can five hundred yuan be enough?"

This time, probably for the benefit of his family, Meng Dabao finally became a little smarter.

"Mom, you and my dad are no longer together. If I give you money, it should also be my dad's share. Moreover, I have to support my family and my children with the money I work, so the maximum is five hundred!"

Seeing Meng Dabao's insistence, Lan Xinya knew that even if she cared, it would not be of much use.

She could only agree like this first.

Five hundred a month, which is six thousand a year, plus the income from the store, she might still have a chance to buy a house next year.

If it doesn't work, she won't buy a newly developed house!

I heard that you can now buy in installments those old communities that were developed a few years ago.

Lan Xinya has thought about it. In one year, she must have a house of her own!

…

A few days passed after Meng Dabao left his mother's shop.

Zhou Lan found a small two-story house in an old house in the old city not far from the compound where their parents-in-law's house was now living.

This house is not large in area, only about a hundred square meters including the yard, but it has two floors and a total of five rooms, which is enough for their small family to move in.

Zhou Lan did the math and found out that she and her husband had saved all their wages over the past few years because they had been eating and drinking with her parents-in-law. The total wages totaled more than three hundred thousand.

Because this small house is relatively dilapidated and located in a remote location, it is relatively cheap, costing 420,000.

Originally, it would take some time for them to buy a house, but their father-in-law was willing to support them. They only needed another 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to buy the house.

After looking at the house, Zhou Lan talked about it with her man.

That night, Meng Heng took out 100,000 yuan for his son and daughter-in-law.

It is said that the remaining money from buying a house can be used to simply decorate the house.
