Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 29 Joint Venture to Buy a Xiguan Mansion

In the end, Mingzi couldn't resist and was really going to be in jail for 10 years. He had no choice but to agree to Kang Qirui's request and sell him the ancestral Xiguan mansion.

"Okay, I'll bring the money tomorrow, we'll sign the contract, and you can get out of here." Kang Qirui was actually speaking to Director Wang. Mingzi couldn't be released until the formalities were completed. Director Wang could only nod silently.

But Mingzai refused to accept it. He lost his house and had to spend a night in the police station. Kang Qirui had no choice but to give him a sweet treat, "Mingzai, compared to 10 years in prison, this one night is already a bargain for you. And I will give you another 30 yuan. With this 30 yuan, you can go to Tianhe to buy two houses. After 2 years, you have to come back and kowtow to me."

This is true. In 2000, the housing price in the community opposite the Tianhe Sports Center was only 2433 yuan per square meter, and the average price of commercial housing in Guangzhou was only 3288 yuan, so a mortgage of 30 yuan was more than enough to buy two houses. In 2, Huacheng Square was officially opened to the public and successfully held the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. Haixinsand was also built at the same time. The average price of real estate in Zhujiang New Town exceeded 2010 yuan per square meter, and the average price in 3 was 2020 yuan. If Mingzi really listened to Kang Qirui and bought two houses at this time, he would have to kowtow to Kang Qirui 17 years later.

It was already very late when Kang Qirui returned home, but he saw his second brother and his wife sneaking out of the bathroom. He didn't know what they were doing. Kang Qirui shook his head and went to take a shower and go to bed.

The next day, when he just got up, he heard the second sister-in-law screaming. Kang Qirui hurried down the attic and saw the second brother helping the second sister-in-law out of the toilet. This scene made Kang Qirui stunned for two seconds. How come it was the second brother and his wife who came out of the toilet when he came back last night, and it was the second brother and his wife who came out of the toilet when he got up this morning. What drama are these two couples playing?

"What's wrong?" The old maid Wang Yulian looked at the second sister-in-law and asked. The old maid loved her daughter-in-law the most, so she was always respected by her daughter-in-law.

"Poor thing, he fell down." The second sister-in-law cried.

"Where did you fall?" the second brother asked deliberately.

"You fell down on your feet." The second sister-in-law pointed at her feet and said. Kang Qirui looked at the second sister-in-law's clean clothes, without any water stains, and it didn't look like she fell down at all. As smart as he was, he knew what happened immediately.

"Oh, it's swollen." The second sister-in-law was still crying.

"Dad, I think the tiles in the bathroom need to be replaced." The second brother went straight to the point. Of course, he didn't want to replace the tiles, but he wanted to dig underground to see if there were any antiques while replacing the tiles.

"No, I remember the tiles were only replaced less than two years ago." The old man shook his head and thought for a while. He thought, why do we need to replace them after only two years? These tiles were bought from the shop of the second brother and his wife.

"These tiles are of poor quality. They wear out after a year of use and are very slippery. We no longer sell this kind in our store, right, A Zong?" The second sister-in-law flattered these tiles and said they were worthless.

"Yes, we don't sell this kind of thing in our store. It was A-Chan who fell this time, but what if it's my parents who fall next time?" The second brother was morally blackmailing everyone so that no one could oppose him.

Kang Qirui had no choice but to stand up. He didn't want the second brother and his wife to mess around. If that happened, the whole family would have to go to the public toilet outside. How troublesome. He said directly: "Okay, second brother. Let's talk about this later. Third brother and his wife, go to work after dinner. By the way, remember to come back at noon. I have something important to say. Um, the second general meeting of the Kang family."

A Yao and Xingzi wanted to object to the replacement of tiles just now, but now that Lao Wu had said it first, they stopped expressing their opinions and stated that they would definitely be back at noon, and then went to work.

Kang Qirui then instructed his father and mother, "Father, call our fourth brother and tell him to come back at noon."

"What's going on?" Dou asked curiously.

"Let's talk about it together at noon, it's a good thing." Kang Qirui said without hurrying, and then said to the second brother and the second sister-in-law: "The second brother and the eldest brother will come back from the hardware store at noon, and the second sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law will come back from the clothing store. That's it, I'm going back to school for class."

Kang Qirui had two classes today. When he finished his classes and rushed home, everyone had already returned, but he was the last one to return. When his old man Kang Ershou saw Kang Qirui coming in, he said, "Arui is back, so let's have a meeting. What good news do you have?"

Kang Qirui first found a chair to sit down, and then said to everyone: "It's like this, when Er Lao and I went out yesterday, we saw Mingzai selling the golden Buddha statue he dug out."

"Yes, that bastard Ming is really lucky. He actually dug out a golden Buddha statue in his utility room. Our toilet is next to their utility room, and I don't know if it is there." The second brother started talking nonstop as soon as he heard Mingzai.

"So you just put on a show this morning, wanting to dig the toilet, right?" Kang Qirui directly exposed the second brother.

The second brother could only smile awkwardly. The old man was so angry that he wanted to hit the second brother, but was stopped by Kang Qirui.

After a while of noise, the crowd finally calmed down. Seeing that everyone's attention was finally focused on him again, Kang Qirui said, "One of my teachers is a Buddhist. At that time, I thought that the golden Buddha statue was an antique and would be a suitable gift for him, so I asked Mingzi to buy it. But my teacher knew at first sight that it was fake, made of copper." This made everyone noisy again, and Kang Qirui had to shout again for everyone to be quiet and listen to him.

"So I called the police. Chief Wang said that it's better to reconcile if possible. As you all know, Wanling and Aunt Zhu are both anxious to get married, so I discussed it with Mingzai and decided that reconciliation is fine. The Xiguan mansion will be sold to me."

Zhu Wanling is 30 years old and is indeed anxious. Mrs. Zhu comes to the Kang family almost every day to discuss marriage with the Kang family elders. The only problem between Wanling and her fifth son is that they don't have a wedding house, so it is understandable that Kang Qirui wants to buy a big house in Xiguan.

"Did Mingzi agree?" The first thing that old Dou Kang Ershou was concerned about was whether he agreed or not.

"How much is it?" The second brother was most concerned about the price.

"Mingzi has to agree to me, otherwise he may have to go to jail for 10 years. I have negotiated the price, 30." Kang Qirui's words surprised everyone again. Is 30 so cheap? But if you think about it, it's better to spend 10 yuan to have fun outside than to go to jail for 30 years.

"Then what is your idea of ​​wanting everyone to come back for a meeting?" Old Dou Kang Ershou grasped the key point.

"It's like this. We really can't accommodate our big family here. I thought that we could all contribute the 30 yuan and connect the two Xiguan mansions. This way, the five of us brothers will have our own rooms. Whether I get married or my fourth brother gets married in the future, we will all have our own wedding rooms."

This was the decision Kang Qirui had to make after thinking about it all night last night. He could buy it himself, but that wouldn't be like a big family. In this life, he wanted to stop his third sister-in-law from going to Japan and change the fate of his second brother. If his third sister-in-law hadn't gone to Japan, A-Zu wouldn't be able to stay in A-Yao's room when she got married. When Tianxiu grew up, he wouldn't have a room to sleep in.

If he wanted to make money, he could just go to Tianhe and buy a house. He still wanted to have more family affection and love besides making money.

"Now Tianxiu sleeps with the second brother and his wife. As he grows older, he will need his own room sooner or later. My suggestion is that all of us brothers pay for it together. The old man and his wife shouldn't pay, hahaha, just keep the old money."

The second brother and his wife agreed immediately, "Okay, no problem, Arui, we'll pay." The main reason was that Tianxiu was indeed growing up, and it was inconvenient to share a room with him. Besides, the Xiguan Mansion would definitely become more and more valuable in the future, so it was worth it.

A Yao looked indifferent, but Xingzi, a native of Shanghai, was shrewd. The Xiguan mansion was bought for 30 yuan, which was several times the original price. She quickly said, "A Rui, A Yao and I have no problem, we will pay too."

Only A-Zu and the boss hadn't expressed their opinions yet. Kang Qirui asked A-Zu first: "Where's the fourth brother?"

A Zu hesitated and said, "It's no problem to pay, the problem is that I don't have any money."

Big Brother Guang also expressed his opinion: "As everyone knows, Xianglan and I are both workers, and we don't have any money. So we won't go out." Big Brother Guang couldn't see anything valuable in the Xiguan mansion. Even if he did, he didn't want to take advantage of his younger brothers. He wouldn't go along if he didn't have any money.

"Boss, I have to make it clear to you. Xiguan Mansion is an ancient mansion. It will be very valuable in 10 or 20 years." Kang Qirui reminded the boss. The boss wanted to say something, but the eldest sister-in-law stopped him and said, "Uncle, can we pay less? We can only pay 2 yuan."

"No problem. If you have more, give more. If you have less, give less." Kang Qirui had no objection.

Ah Zu got excited at this time and said, "Then I'll also give 2. But it will be later, so I have to borrow it."

Finally, the eldest brother contributed 2, the second brother contributed 10, A Yao contributed 6, A Zu contributed 2, and Kang Qirui contributed 10. The five brothers went to a law firm and asked the lawyer to draft two contracts. One was the contract for Mingzai to transfer the Xiguan Mansion to Kang Qirui, and only Kang Qirui's name was written on the property certificate. The second was the Xiguan Mansion share contract, which notarized the specific distribution of the Xiguan Mansion.

Then he took his lawyer to Xiguan Police Station to find Mingzai. Under the witness of his lawyer and Chief Wang, Mingzai signed the transfer contract and Kang Qirui gave Mingzai 30 yuan. The two sides reached a settlement.

After finishing all this, the second brother was responsible for finding a decoration team to connect the two Xiguan houses.

With Mingzai's death, Erlao never dug toilets again in this life, but was assigned the job of digging through two large houses in Xiguan.
