But he decided he could get something good this time, and he wouldn't need to buy it again, just sell it.
Jonas was going to sleep on the weekend, but Chao Hongmei's phone woke her up. She looked at Jonas and asked, "Uncle, did you forget you were coming to my house?"
Jonas made a face of surprise, "go to your house? Gee, I didn't do anything to give you a box of mooncakes, okay?"
Chao Hongmei aid angrily: "It might as well be an extra chrysanthemum!"
Jonas said quickly, "Just kidding, I've got it all for you, I'll be right there."
Chao Hongmei chuckled and said, "So imposing and in a taxi?"
Jonas quipped, "Of course, can I be stingy when I see my in-laws?"
Chao Hongmei said quickly, "Get over here and I'll wait outside.
Jonas got up, cleaned up briefly, and left with his things. Tang Yan's father went to the door, saw Tang Yan's parents, and asked, "Jonas, where are you going?"
Jonas nodded, "Yeah, I'm going to find my girlfriend."
Tang Yan's mother said: "Jonas is really a good man. You see our daughter, every time is empty-handed, sometimes buy some Sanlu milk powder!"
Jonas thought it was funny, Tang Yan's boyfriend. Why would they say that?
Jonas drove a taxi for more than twenty minutes to Chao Hongmei's house and found Chao Hongmei waiting outside.
Chao Hongmei got out of the car and leaned close to Jonas, "Jonas, are you nervous?"
Jonas feigned, "When you put it that way, I get a little flustered.
Chao Hongmei looked at him, "It's okay, you're scared to death of me!"
Jonas was dragged reluctantly to the hospital by Chao Hongmei.
Arriving at Chao Hongmei's house, Haoren realized that his home was small, and everything in the neighborhood was ready-made and old-fashioned, so the price wasn't very high.
It was a far cry from the upscale neighborhood outside. Chao Hongmei's family background seems to be much better than Jonas's, but she is also an office worker.
It's a family anyway, and Jonas has nothing to fear. Chao Hongmei's father asked Jonas before he could be happy, "Are you Jonas? I hear you work in a big company and you get a good salary."
Chao Hongmei's father is not very easy to get along with, although he is not very good looking, but if there is a more easygoing person in the family, the women in the family will be very difficult. Unfortunately, Jonas's suspicions were soon answered.
No sooner had the soon-to-be mother-in-law exhaled Jonas's smoke than the soon-to-be mother-in-law appeared, a middle-aged woman with slightly plump hair and a fierce gaze. It was not a good thing to look at, and Jonas felt his luck was really bad.
Jonas quickly dug through his things, "Auntie, this is for you.
The future mother-in-law accepted the gift and said to Jonas, "Come on, Jonas, don't be so formal, you have too much stuff with you for us to eat, and besides, all the friends and disciples of the old man have brought us a lot of gifts."
Jonas thought the woman had a way with words that compared her to her aunt.
The father-in-law asked Jonas to go to the living room for tea. Before he arrived, he heard his future mother-in-law's voice: "Come and help me. We are all about to eat. Why are you still drinking tea? Are you crazy?"
The future father-in-law obediently left. Jonas wondered how he could live with such a mother-in-law.
Jonas whispered her concern to Chao Hongmei, but she didn't worry too much and smiled at Jonas, "Uncle, you can rest assured, my mother is very good, is bullying people."
Jonas felt like an outsider.
Chao Hongmei pulled Jonas, who was in a bad mood, to the dining table.
When they were seated, his father-in-law took Jonas's wine and prepared to pour it for himself before he could eat it. Jonas also wanted to say something nice. The future mother-in-law shouted: "don't drink, be careful of industrial alcohol, people stupid, use yellow bars."
Jonas listened to Jiang's words with some trepidation.
After dinner, the mother-to-be chatted in Jonas dialect first, about where she worked, how many people there were, whether she had a house or a car.
Jonas was not a person to deal with the elderly, especially with such a woman. She stammered and slurred. Jonas has said it wants to demolish and buy new houses, but it hasn't started yet.
The future mother-in-law looked at Jonas with a stern face, "Jonas, we are all family now, let me tell you something, if you want to buy a house, you can buy a house nearby, it is not big but it is close to us, your parents died early, we can take care of you, if you have children, I can babysit you! Right?"
Jonas nodded, "That too."
The mother-to-be continued: "But to have my daughter's name on the house is not what we want, it's that society is so complicated right now and we need a safe place, don't you think?"
Jonas mused, "That's a good plan."
The soon-to-be mother-in-law continued: "OK, I promise, but when are you going to look at it? I think it's best to buy a second-hand flat. One doesn't need to be refurbished. The neighborhood and business environment are solid and profitable. How about we look again next week?"
"Don't worry until my house is demolished," Jonas said.
"How long is this going to take? One year and ten years, the same!"
Jonas stammered, "That's a short time, no more than ten years."
But the future mother-in-law refuses to let go, and must give Jonas time. The future father-in-law would like to say a few words to Jonas, only to be glared at by her, immediately shut up.
My future mother-in-law said to Jonas, "In this case, you can buy a house and then go to the bank to get a loan. You must have some money in the bank. At the very least, we can pay some money and consider it tax. These days, there are several kinds of property tax and differential tax. The better ones cost hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Jonas looked morose, "There is business, but there are too few to buy."
