Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 316. Play, invest in buying a house

Ever since they heard the news that they were coming over, Wei Lai, Wu Hao, and Dong Shu, those guys in Beijing, kept calling several times a day.

When it was confirmed that they had arrived, people were taking leave and swapping shifts, rushing over to Wu Liguo’s place.

Competing to invite them, especially Shuzhen’s family, to their homes.

Simply put, back when they went to the countryside, they received a lot of help from those two.

From medicines to food and drink, and later actively establishing the Liu family primary school. They managed to pull them out from cowsheds and pigsties, letting them gradually live a life no different from other commune members.

Without Lianshan and his spouse and Liu Shouren, they, consisting of old and weak, might not have even survived, let alone had any dignity or treatment.

So in their eyes, Lianshan and Liu Shouren were absolutely regarded as life-saving benefactors, unquestionably granting them a second life!

With the relationship of son-in-law and in-laws, Shouren couldn’t just bypass the Wu family’s doorstep.

So, if they wanted to extend hospitality, they could only jointly invite Shuzhen and Shouyi’s families, right?

In response, Wu Liguo just gave a cold snort.

He had already beaten everyone to the punch by arranging them at his place, to leave?

Heh, perhaps!

After all, a thousand miles to build a long shed—no banquet lasts forever.

When the kids start school and they have to return, they will naturally move out!

As for the collective complaint about his tyranny?

Wu Liguo laughed, he’d been a tyrant all his life, no reason to go soft in his old age!

Unable to snatch them, Wei Lai and the others were a bit unhappy.

But without Wu Liguo’s strong connections and will, they could only take a back seat.

Trying their best to find time to accompany everyone on outings, arranging meals in turns.

Going through places like Quanjude, Donglaishun, Guibin Lou, and China World Hotel, innovating ways to dine.

Finally hitting their stride, they had to make sure the children and adults had fun and ate comfortably.

As for spending?

Hehe, don’t kid around. None of these people here are short on cash!

The Liu siblings couldn’t refuse everyone’s genuine enthusiasm even if they wanted to.

So they let go of all the trivial thoughts, seriously enjoying themselves thoroughly.

During this time, under the guise of convenience for future schooling, Shuzhen purchased a total of ten properties near famous universities like B University, Qing University, and the Academy of Fine Arts.

The lavishness of it stunned Wei Lai, Wu Hao, and others who accompanied her.

"My dear sister, even with money, you don’t spend it like this, right? With me, Wu Hao, Wei Lai, and Uncle Wu all around, can’t we arrange for a few kids to have a place? Money is hard-earned, there’s really no need to splurge on buying several properties!" Dong Shu swallowed and advised earnestly.

Shuzhen laughed, "How is this squandering? This is clearly an investment! You see, after the Eleventh Central Committee’s Third Plenary Session, our country’s economic development has skyrocketed, calling it rapidly ascending doesn’t even do it justice.

The economic level has increased, and so have people’s income and spending.

Just in our small Liu family village, where two or three thousand could once build a decent three-room brick house, it now costs ten thousand or more!

Let alone Beijing, the heart of our Republic?

I see housing prices only rolling upwards, no chance of falling.

Just right, I have some extra money, to buy a few more for the kids.

If they get into universities here, living would be convenient.

As an investment, it’s definitely a sure gain!"

Coincidentally, there were seven kids, one for each, the remaining three were bought with the bonuses and earnings from selling paintings Lian En accumulated over a few years.

Such prime academic apartments in the future would undoubtedly bring immense profit. She seized the opportunity without hesitation.

If she hadn’t just bought a car, leaving her cash flow tight, she would have bought more than those ten properties!

"Hey, didn’t know, sis, you had such business acumen. Listening to you makes sense, maybe I’ll buy a few more houses too. Could rent them out, appreciate in value, and be convenient for the kids, multiple benefits!" Wu Yinghong, who had always secretly wanted to stock up on properties, but hesitated since her father lived in Beijing with many spacious and bright rooms, jumped in, eager to support.

"Well, why don’t we buy a few too?" Su Hongying chimed in, her question was more of an affirmative statement.

Littler sister-in-law and sister-in-law both had a good vision, if they both said it was a good decision, it must be right.

Even if the house prices don’t rise, they certainly wouldn’t fall, and the rent would be enough to cover the bank interest, wouldn’t it?

The three sister-in-laws and sisters made their calculations, and the travel plan transformed into a house-viewing, buying activity.

Having money in hand, sincerely loving and trusting their wives’ judgments.

The Liu family brothers and Lianshan didn’t negotiate, straightforwardly arranging Feng Ju to take the younger ones out to play, as the three brothers accompanied their wives house-hunting.

Wei Lai and the others couldn’t persuade them against it, and instead were convinced by Shuzhen and Wu Yinghong to buy at least one house per family, leaving them regretful beyond words.

Of course, twenty to thirty years later, watching the skyrocketing house prices, they regretted to the point of tears: with such a great opportunity before them, why didn’t they cherish it better? If heaven gave them another chance, each would definitely declare to buy all properties with their existing assets, anywhere within Beijing!

At that time, equally remorseful were Lian Hai and Lian Yue’s families.

They didn’t join the group action, which was fine, but later when their sister-in-law called home asking whether they wanted to buy some properties together, for investment and convenience for the kids,

What did they say?

There are dormitories at schools, why buy houses or do anything special!

The chance of overnight wealth was right before their eyes, but they violently pushed it away!

Although through hard work, their children also became successful.

Since the sister-in-law joined the family, they haven’t worried much about money.

But thinking about this, they are filled with vast regret!

After all, when has anyone, throughout history, not longed for money if they didn’t have it, or obsessed over having more if they did? Who ever felt money was biting!
