Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

"Sister, should we tell Sister Xiaoman to invest the remaining money into the clothing store? That way, we can get more dividends next time."

Xiao Xiangmei shook her head. "Sister Xiaoman doesn't need that little money. She asked us to invest 500 yuan at the beginning. She was helping us in various ways. We can't be ungrateful."

Xiao Xiangxue: "Then what should we do? I originally wanted to go home during the summer vacation, but when I think about the fact that time is money, I don't want to go back anymore."

Xiao Xiangmei thought about it and suddenly asked, "Do you like popsicles?"

"Of course I like it. Eating a popsicle in the hot summer is so comfortable. Why, do you want to treat me to a popsicle?"

Xiao Xiangmei knocked on his head and said, "You only know how to eat. What do you think about us buying two bicycles, selling popsicles wholesale, and selling them on the street?"

Popsicles are delicious, but in such a hot day, selling popsicles door to door is hot and tiring. Xiao Xiangxue hesitated a little, "This is too hard, and how much money can you make from one popsicle?"

Xiao Xiangmei glanced at him and said, "I think you are too arrogant to care about even small money. Walking around the streets is not as tiring as working in the fields. If you don't want to, I can do it myself!"

Xiao Xiangxue quickly pulled her arm and said, "Of course I'm not unwilling. I'll follow you and do whatever you ask me to do."

The two went to find Zhang Changming again, but Zhang Changming felt that the money was enough for him, so he did not join. Instead, he bought a bunch of reference books and started studying at school.

After earning money, Meng Xiaoman finally put buying a villa on the agenda.

Just like what she told Xiao Xiangmei and others, only when you enjoy the good things that money brings will you have the motivation to make money.

Ever since she decided to buy a house in Hai City, Meng Xiaoman has been keeping an eye out for opportunities.

In the past two years, the country has opened its doors. Although it is more troublesome to go abroad, at least you can go abroad. Many people think about emigrating or going abroad to look for opportunities.

Some people naturally have to deal with domestic real estate.

Meng Xiaoman has greeted several wealthy ladies she is familiar with, and asked them to tell her if they encountered such a thing.

Meng Xiaoman had looked at two houses before, but at that time, either she didn’t have enough money or the houses were too badly damaged and she didn’t like them.

That day, Jiang Ruolin introduced her to a house, saying that the house was nice and that the designer was a master architect who had designed houses for many celebrities in Hai City.

Many of the landmark buildings in Haishi were designed by him.

The owners of the house are a couple in their seventies, and the house was returned to them not long ago. They are going abroad this time to stay with their children who went abroad earlier.

My children have settled overseas and will not return to China. They are old and in poor health, so the hope of returning to China is slim. Therefore, I want to sell the house.

The house is in a great location. This is a villa area, but it is only three or four streets away from the city center, so it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

What’s more, it occupies a large area.

In addition to a three-story main building, there is also a large yard of two or three acres.

However, because no one has taken care of it for a long time, it is overgrown with weeds and the trees are in a dilapidated state.

The main building is a combination of Chinese and Western styles popular in the Republic of China, with a columned porch, a red-tiled sloping roof, painted windows, and large protruding terraces on the second and third floors.

There is a big fireplace in the living room on the first floor, but it has long been unused and has become a decoration. In addition to the living room, there is also a large kitchen, two servants' rooms, two storage rooms, and a reception room on the first floor.

Going up the stairs to the second floor is where the owner lives and works.

A large suite with clearly divided areas: bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, living room and small study, occupying one-third of the second floor.

In addition, there are two small suites, a children's room and two guest bedrooms.

The third floor is smaller than the second floor and also has four or five rooms of varying sizes, but they are all empty now and it’s unclear what they are used for.

The area was large and there were many rooms, but the walls and decorations inside had been destroyed, and the furniture had been swept away. Many rooms did not even have doors.

Only an empty building remained.

"How much do you bid?"

The yard is large and the building is good. It can be seen that the designer and builder have put a lot of effort into it. However, if people want to live in it, it needs to be completely renovated, and the doors and windows need to be reinstalled. All these will cost a lot of money.

Obviously, the two old men also knew about it, so they were a little hesitant in asking for the price, and it took them a while before they said 150,000.

Seeing that Meng Xiaoman and the other person showed no expression, he changed his words and said 140,000, it couldn't be any less.

"130,000, and the renovation of this house will cost tens of thousands. If you agree, I will give you cash and it can be done immediately." The old man has found more than one buyer, Meng Xiaoman, but there are few people who can come up with more than 100,000. And the two of them want to see their children and don't want to wait any longer.

"Row!"

On the same day, Meng Xiaoman went to the bank to transfer the money.

The purchasing power of money is so high now that Meng Xiaoman couldn't help but buy two more small houses.

These two houses are not as big as this villa. They are both three-story buildings with a yard of two to three hundred square meters. They are small and beautiful. One is on Kangwu Road and the other is on Xinglu Road.

The two small Western-style buildings cost a total of 180,000 yuan.

It only cost about 300,000 yuan to buy three houses.

Compared to Meng Xiaoman's excitement, Xiao Xiangdong was relatively calm. He felt that having a place to live was enough. However, since Meng Xiaoman liked it, he also supported it.

"I didn't expect you to like houses so much. By the way, our company said that we will distribute houses by the end of this year, and I'm on the list. If you like it, we can pay a little more and get a bigger one."

"Where is the family compound of your unit?"

"It's not too far from our workplace, on the southwest side of Yushan Mountain. I've never been there, but I heard the scenery is pretty good."

"Okay, let's pay a little more and get a bigger one."

Xiao Xiangdong nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "I have a comrade-in-arms who has a relative who wants to do business, but he doesn't have enough capital. He wants to deal with an alley. Let him ask the team if you want to take a look. Of course, the alley is not as spacious as the villa. If you don't like it..."

"Let's go check it out first."

Meng Xiaoman is not crazy about doing business. She just wants to make money to buy a house, then wait for it to appreciate in value and live a leisurely life as a landlord.

Pan Sheng, a relative of Xiao Xiangdong's comrade, was quick-witted. Seeing that reselling things could make money, he also started a business of buying low and selling high. Recently, he saw a business opportunity, but he was troubled by insufficient capital. It happened that his parents left him an old-style alley that was empty and uninhabited. The rent was too little, so he thought of selling it.

His cousin worked in the military region. He heard that people there earned several hundred yuan a month and were wealthy, so he asked his cousin to ask if anyone wanted to buy it.

This old alley was built during the Republic of China period. Not only is it close to the city center, but there are also many government agencies around it. However, living here is inconvenient. Just like the house Meng Xiaoman rented last time, there is no gas, so you have to use a coal stove. You have to go to a public toilet to use the toilet, and go to a nearby bathhouse to take a shower.
