"Mingzhe, come and see the kitchen. It's bigger than our house."
"Mingzhe, this attic is quite big."
Su Daqiang was like a country leopard who had never seen the world, running around the house happily without seeing the livid face of his wife Zhao Meilan.
This is the fifth house that Wang Gang took his four elders to see. It is located not far from Silicon Valley. It has an indoor area of about 500 square meters and a garden of 200 square meters in the front and rear.
As soon as Su Daqiang entered the house, he was so satisfied that he felt a little carried away.
"Mingzhe, how much does this house cost?" Su Daqiang was tired of shopping and walked back to Su Mingzhe and asked.
"About five million." Wang Gang looked at the house introduction and said.
"More than five million? The area of the house is 500 square meters. Isn't it only 10,000 per square meter? It's cheaper than the houses in Shanghai!"
Su Daqiang was a little suspicious, so he secretly walked up to Wang Gang and whispered in Wang Gang's ear: "The house is sold so cheaply, it can't be a haunted house, right?"
Wang Gang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Dad, most of the houses in the suburbs of the United States are at this price. The really expensive houses are in the urban areas, and the houses have to pay property taxes every year. Unlike in our country, it is a one-time sale."
"How much can I pay in taxes?" Su Daqiang said disapprovingly.
"The annual tax rate for this house is RMB 1.5, which means we have to pay RMB 75,000 in taxes every year. Over ten or twenty years, it won't be too little," Wang Gang explained.
"So much, are the taxes in the United States so high?" Su Daqiang said in surprise.
Wang Gang nodded and said: "Wage income in the United States is high, but expenses are also high."
Zhao Meilan felt sorry for her son and said, "Mingzhe, why don't we look at cheaper houses."
Wang Gang looked at Wu's father and Wu's mother and said, "Uncle and aunt, what do you think of this house?"
Wang Gang and Wu Fei were only engaged, not married, and their parents didn't give any money to change their relationship, so Wang Gang still called them uncle and aunt.
After visiting the house, Father Wu said: "We have also looked at several houses, and the prices are about the same. The cheap ones have poor living conditions.
I think it’s good here. The community environment is safe and it’s close to where Feifei will work in the future. It’s pretty good.”
Wu Fei also nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes! It's only three miles away from the company and not too far from Stanford. It's convenient for me to go to work and go to school."
Of course Zhao Meilan knew that the house was good, but what she worried about was the money, and she was even more afraid that Wang Gang would ask the old couple for money.
Most of the money from the Su family was used to buy a wedding house for Su Mingcheng. This time, because of the US dollars that Wang Gang remitted every month, Zhao Meilan did not sell the old house of the Su family, but she spent almost all the money at home.
It stands to reason that Wang Gang is the eldest son in the family. When he gets married and buys a house, his parents have to show their willingness no matter what.
However, Zhao Meilan felt that Wang Gang would live in the United States and could not expect to provide for them in their old age. The burden of providing for them in the future would still lie with their second son, Su Mingcheng, so she did not want to spend money on Wang Gang.
Wang Gang also guessed Zhao Meilan's psychology. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't show it.
He had no intention of relying on his parents to buy a house, so he didn't tell Zhao Meilan about the house in Shanghai.
Mainly because he was afraid of Su Mingcheng's idea of attacking the house in Magic City.
After Su Mingcheng graduated, he originally wanted to stay in Shanghai and find a job, but because of the house issue, he finally returned to Su City and later found a job in a foreign trade company.
Wang Gang was worried that Su Mingcheng might have to ask for a room if he found out that he had a house in Modu. It would be easy to ask God to give him away, but it would be difficult to give him away. If the trouble got to that point, none of the brothers would do anything.
The down payment for Su Mingcheng's wedding house in Sushi City was all money Wang Gang remitted to his family. Although Su Mingcheng wrote an IOU, he never paid back a penny for so long.
Wang Gang is far away in the United States, so it is impossible for him to go back to China to ask his brothers for payment!
"Mingzhe, this house is too expensive. You are still in school and Wu Fei has just found a job. Their salaries are not high and they cannot afford the mortgage." Zhao Meilan tried to persuade Wang Gang.
Wu Fei stood up and said: "Auntie, Mingzhe has found a job as a teaching assistant at school. I will earn a lot every month in the future, so I will have no problem affording this house."
"Then you should also save some money. If you have children in the future, you will have to spend money." Zhao Meilan said.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Feifei and I have discussed that we should work on our career first and then have children in a few years."
Zhao Meilan's expression immediately changed when she heard this.
She has been looking forward to holding her grandson for a long time.
Zhao Meilan looked at Wu's father and Wu's mother and said: "In-laws, this woman is an advanced maternal age once she is over thirty-five. It is very dangerous to give birth to a child, so it is better to have a child as early as possible. The sooner you give birth, the faster you will recover."
Father Wu and Mother Wu looked at each other, and then Father Wu said: "Feifei is only twenty-three years old this year. It doesn't matter if she works hard for a few years. Besides, we haven't retired yet. They have children. Who can help take care of them?"
Zhao Meilan was choked and could not speak, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Su Daqiang pulled Zhao Meilan's clothes from behind and said, "Mingzhe and Feifei just got engaged, not married yet? Isn't it a little early to talk about children?"
Zhao Meilan opened Su Daqiang's hand and said: "Mingcheng and Zhu Li also said that they want to work hard for their careers and refuse to have children. Mingzhe is like this. I don't understand. Can't have a career after giving birth to a child?
People of our generation get married and have children at an early age, but they still have a successful career."
Wu Fei saw that Zhao Meilan was a little angry and quickly explained: "Auntie, you don't know that our IT industry is very competitive. Thirty-five years old is a hurdle, so these few years are very critical."
Zhao Meilan was still a little displeased and said: "Feifei, it's not that Auntie is ignorant. Since ancient times, men have been in charge of the outside world and women have been in charge of the house. Men can work outside and work hard, and women can take care of the family and children at home. Isn't it great?"
Wu's father and Wu's mother didn't look very good at this time either.
They worked so hard to send their daughter to study abroad, so naturally they didn't want her to be a housewife.
Wang Gang stood up at this time and said: "Mom, it is already a new era. Women hold up half of the sky. Their wives work hard outside, and there are many men at home taking care of their children."
Zhao Meilan had a straight face and said angrily: "I won't interfere with you buying a house. You can make up your own mind."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Fei looked at Wang Gang, worried that Zhao Meilan was angry, but Wang Gang shook his head at her and said it was okay.
"This house has five rooms. You and your uncles and aunts will be able to live in the United States in the future. It's better to buy a bigger house." Wang Gang took Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang's hands, pointed to the yard behind and said:
"If I have a chance in the future, I will dig a swimming pool in the backyard. You can come here to escape the heat after you retire."
Su Daqiang's eyes lit up, and he said with some admiration: "I watched the rich people on TV. They all have a pool at home, and they can take a bath anytime and anywhere."
Zhao Meilan said angrily: "What a bath, that's swimming."
Wang Gang saw that Zhao Meilan no longer worried about Wu Fei going out to work, so he quickly called the housing agency.
In the end, the house was sold for 5.5 million. Wang Gang made a one-time payment behind the backs of Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang, and spent all the money he earned during the two years of purchase.
However, Wang Gang does not worry about money, because he bought 100,000 Bt coins two years ago.
Now, you can buy 10,000 of those things for a few dollars. Who would have thought that in a few years, the value would be reversed, and you could buy one for tens of thousands.
Wang Gang basically no longer has to worry about money and can concentrate on his studies.
Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang returned to China after playing in the United States for a few days. Soon, Wu’s parents and Wu’s mother also returned to China. They haven’t retired yet, so it’s impossible for their employer to take a long leave.
After the house was purchased, Father Wu said that he would pay for the furniture and appliances in the house as a gift to congratulate Wang Gang and Wu Fei on their engagement.
When Zhao Meilan heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, but when she was asked to take out the money, she didn't get a penny.
After Su Daqiang returned to China, he met Su Mingcheng and praised the house Wang Gang bought to the sky. He longed to live there for a while after retirement.
It's a pity that Zhao Meilan attacked him, saying that America was an unfamiliar place and not a good place for retirement, so he was not allowed to go.
How could Su Daqiang dare to resist Zhao Meilan, so he could only bury this thought silently in his heart.
Unconsciously, two years later, Wang Gang successfully obtained his doctorate, and Wu Fei's work was on the right track, becoming the backbone of the company and the leader of the project team.
The two also obtained American green cards and have permanent residency rights.
However, Wang Gang did not apply for immigration to change his nationality.
Wang Gang and Wu Fei held a simple wedding in the United States and brought over the elderly from both parties.
Even Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu came to the United States to attend the wedding.
Su Mingyu was very happy, especially when she saw Wu Fei wearing a wedding dress, she was very envious.
Su Mingcheng was a little bit weird, because Wang Gang was only responsible for his air tickets, and Su Mingcheng had to pay for Zhu Li's air tickets himself.
After getting married, Wang Gang and Wu informally settled in the United States. Su Mingyu expressed that she no longer wanted to do the purchasing business and was planning to enter the company of her master, Mr. Meng, for training.
Wang Gang expressed his understanding. After buying B-bit coins, he did not like the money spent on purchasing agents.
Not long after, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li held their wedding in Su Shi, but Wang Gang did not attend because Wu Fei happened to be pregnant at that time.
