"Since you plan to settle down in Anjing, it's normal to buy a house, right?" Xin Zhiping said with a smile, "It's a good opportunity to find out about the housing prices in advance."

"How do you feel? Is it not as exaggerated as others say?"

"Really... I originally thought that I would never be able to afford a house in Anjing with the housing prices. But after going to see it with you yesterday, I feel like I can do it again."

The housing prices in Anjing are indeed not low.

If you want to buy a house on your own, it is unlikely that you can pay for it in full before the age of 30.

Loans and support from family are essential.

"You know, I have a younger brother at home." Xin Zhiping blinked, "But he is still young. If I say I want to buy a house, my parents should also give me some money to support me. But when my brother grows up, it's hard to say..."

When she said this, Xin Zhiping seemed a little embarrassed, and explained: "It's not that I don't like my brother...but I have to think about myself."

"I don't think you did anything wrong... Brothers should settle accounts clearly, but why don't you let your sister settle it? But... I don't think your parents are as easy to convince as you think."

Xin Zhiping sighed, "That's right. When I went home for the New Year, they said they saw people their age had bought houses, so they wanted to buy a small one, too. Do you know what they said?"

"'Why would a girl buy a house? Won't she have one after she gets married?'"

Xin Zhiping gave Jiang Baige a thumbs up and said, "It has to be you."

"It's not hard to guess, because when I said I wanted to buy a house, my parents said the same thing."

This surprised Xin Zhiping a little. She thought that a family as open-minded as Jiang Baige's would definitely fully support her in buying a house.

However, no matter how open-minded one is, he is still a person born in the 1960s.

Not to mention buying a house, for Bai Yunqing and others, even renting a house is unimaginable for residents of small cities who have been guaranteed jobs after graduation and have enjoyed welfare housing.

Their lives go according to plan and are relatively easy and happy, so they naturally think their children will follow the same path.

Little did we know that times have changed.

"I tried to reason with them, but they said, 'My peers are all married, why didn't I follow their example? I'm afraid if I say a few more words, they'll start fighting.'"

In fact, Xin Zhiping is not a non-marriage advocate. Like most girls, she is not strongly opposed to marriage. She just hopes to find someone who suits her heart, without being too picky.

Unfortunately, under such a big system, how can we find someone who transcends all of this... and a man?

She had two dates when she was in school, but it didn't work out.

After graduation, she also went on blind dates, but the ones introduced by others either had poor academic qualifications or bad looks, and they would even tell her that "her standards were too high."

She was too lazy to argue with those people, so she simply stopped going on blind dates.

But when she returned home, others knew that she was not married and had no partner, and they would sigh and say, "All the good ones were picked up in college."

She sneered when she heard that.

Didn’t she have a boyfriend in college?

What are men like in college? Could it be that these people who have never been to college know better than her?

But if she really argues with those people, they will say "that's because you have bad vision" or "bad luck", as if her experiences are "special" and only their imaginations are "universal".

So what else is there to say?

Gradually, she stopped attending those so-called relatives' gatherings.

Because there, she couldn't feel the so-called "liveliness" or "warmth", but only felt it was "noisy" and "a waste of time".

Compared to dealing with boring and ineffective interpersonal relationships, she would rather spend more time on work and get a raise. Even if she spends time watching TV series or sleeping, at least she can relax her body and mind.

Isn't it better to have money and good health than anything else?

Xin Zhiping became more and more excited as she spoke. It seemed as if she had been holding these words in her heart for a long time and now she finally had the chance to get them out.

But she also knew that without the help of her family, it would be difficult for her to pay the down payment for a house in Anjing on her own.

Sometimes she would persuade herself that she was already an adult and should not rely on her parents for money.

But every time this happened, another voice in her head would ask her: But why is it still this money? When parents give birth to a son, it is assumed that they will prepare a house for their son?

Is it "children shouldn't rely on their parents' money" or "daughters shouldn't rely on their parents' money"?

Even she suddenly understood.

Why are there always so many despised "gold diggers" in society, but never "gold diggers" to describe a man...

Because "fishing" is a man's privilege!

They can naturally take advantage of their parents' house because "you can't get married without a house", but the wife they get by buying the house with their parents' money is called a "gold digger".

After getting married, they continue to "take children", "take free babysitters" and "take various emotional values" from their wives.

They spend their whole lives helping others, so they naturally glorify their own "help" and take it for granted that men do it.

Because they know the benefits of "fishing", they will use all means to stigmatize every woman who discovers this secret.

But when she told her parents about these views, they just said: "You read too much, your brain is damaged!"

She wanted to say, no, I'm not broken, I'm just reborn from a broken body.

But she didn't say it.

How can a new soul save a rotten heart?

She just gave an ultimatum: "Just treat me as if I'm crazy. Anyway, I want to buy a house."

However, she didn't expect that Jiang Baige also did not approve of her buying a house now.

"If you have enough money now and don't worry about the loss of house prices falling, you can buy it. But...if you listen to me and don't buy it now, the house prices will fall later."

"how do you know?"

"You have already seen the impact of the epidemic... Its impact is not temporary, but will continue. Bubbles burst one after another. Do you think housing prices will fall?"

Jiang Baige's expression was so confident that Xin Zhiping had to believe it.

Although the drop in housing prices was not obvious before her death in her previous life, the downward trend was more obvious than it is now.

She believed that if she lived another year, she would be able to see the biggest drop in housing prices in Anjing in the past decade.

“But why do you want to buy a house?”

Jiang Baige: Telling you this may make you sad, but I have enough money.

She could actually buy the house she liked with full payment, but she decided to use the "leverage" of her provident fund to borrow some money and even deduct taxes.

But of course she wouldn't say it directly and hurt Xin Zhiping's feelings.

"I've fallen in love with this one... I'm afraid if I wait any longer, this house will be snatched away by someone else."

This is not entirely false.

More than a week later, Jiang Baige made an appointment with the agent in advance, picked up her parents at the airport, took them to the hotel to drop off their luggage, and rushed to the new house without even chatting...
