Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

As for Bei Xiaobei, he is diligent and conscientious in his work; as long as there are extra working hours for a project and it can bring in compensation, he will stay in the company for several sleepless nights just to increase the overtime pay.

In addition, he is extremely frugal and has almost no expenses. He will not hesitate to spend money only on her. For Haizao, who just started working, she used to squander her salary after receiving it. However, it is not easy for her to save 8,000 yuan in the past few years under the influence of Bei Xiaobei's demonstration effect. Although he cannot provide her with the latest fashion, such restraint and perseverance are his efforts for the future happiness of the two of them. This is also what she likes most about Bei Xiaobei!

When she thought of the several deposit accounts with more than 60,000 yuan in the drawers and wardrobes, it was all the money that Bei Xiaobei handed over to her after returning from a business trip. This money was saved one by one with great effort and was originally intended for the wedding banquet of the two. Now it was easily used by her sister and her husband to buy a new house.

Haizao instantly understood why Xiaobei refused to lend the goods at first. Every corner was the result of his hard work and sweat!

Moreover, although her sister claimed that the 60,000 yuan was a loan, the deadline for repayment was actually far away! After the salesperson's detailed explanation today, Haizao finally realized the difficulty of purchasing a property!

After my sisters finally decide to sign a contract to buy a house, go through the loan process and complete the down payment, they still need to bear the obligation of repaying the mortgage for 20 years, with a monthly burden of more than 6,000 yuan!

Even though the combined salary of sister Haiping and her spouse reached more than 9,000 yuan, after paying off the mortgage, there was less than 3,000 yuan left for living expenses.

This amount of money needs to be reserved every month for future house decoration, raising her granddaughter and many other expenses!

Bei Xiaobei has diligently saved up 60,000 yuan, but the day of repayment will come at an unknown time!

With Xiaobei's current work ability and salary level, perhaps the money he can raise will be enough to pay the down payment for the house, allowing the two of them to realize their ideal life together!

She burst into tears and said, "Xiao Bei, please forgive me for my selfish behavior and for not considering your thoughts and causing you this hardship."

On the other side, the moment Haiping stepped into the house, she saw Su Chun lazily standing by the window enjoying his cigarette, and she felt irritated: "Su Chun! Look at how leisurely you are! I work hard to earn money to support the family, and you still have the mood to spend money on cigarettes? Do you know that we can use that money to improve our meals, so that we don't have to eat noodles every day! Do you have a sense of responsibility? From now on, you are not allowed to smoke anymore. I don't want to see you waste a penny again!"

Su Chun finally felt he could no longer stand Haiping's reproaches. Since Haiping went back to see her daughter, her mood had changed significantly, and she frequently argued with him about buying a house.

In fact, in the past few years, the two had faced good opportunities to buy a house several times, but because Haiping was too picky and pursued perfection, they missed the opportunities again and again.

Whenever talking about purchasing a property, Su Chun's heart was full of complaints and helplessness. However, whenever Haiping mentioned this matter, she would always blame him for being incompetent.

In recent years, the housing prices in Jiangdong City have skyrocketed. In fact, they can't afford to buy a house now.

Even for the down payment, he had to ask for help from everywhere, including Haiping's sister and other family members! Haiping's desire for material things made him feel helpless!

Haiping's roar made Su Chun unable to help but extinguish the cigarette butt, put it back into the cigarette box, and accused her of being ruthless: "Are you reasonable? Every time you make a mistake, you take it out on me. Tell me, what have I ever opposed you about?

Did I ask anything from you? I just hope you can be happy.

Why are you always so hard to please? You always try to invade my little private space, and now you have forced me into a corner.

What other pleasures do I have besides smoking?

And I've been trying to limit myself to six cigarettes a day, and I've been choosing cheap ones. Why do you want to cut off my only pastime when there's a problem? Is that fun?"

"What's so boring about it? As a grown man, do you have the nerve to watch your spouse own only a few pieces of clothing, use no skin care products, or even go to a hair salon all year round?

Your lover can walk half a kilometer to go home to save a few cents; now you are just sitting there enjoying the smell of cigarettes?

Have you ever thought about your responsibilities as the head of a family?

Instead of spending money recklessly, it is better to save the money and buy some toys for my daughter.

Are you also a father? My daughter is this old, have you ever offered to buy her something?

Have you never thought about her? You still dare to talk about your little pleasures. How much of a sense of achievement do you have?

There are countless interests that can be cultivated in the world. Why don't you learn how to make money? Why don't you cultivate an interest in doing things?

Why can't I think of finding a way to improve my career development? I have been a junior cadre since I graduated from college. Why is that? I can't get promoted because I have a baby. What about you? "

Su Chun sighed deeply, his mind full of doubts, changed his shoes and walked out of the house.

"Where are you going? You ran away after just a few words! If you have the guts, don't come back! I want to remind you: if you are found smoking again, you will bear the consequences!" Haiping shouted from behind.

The pressure was like a huge rock pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. He had nowhere to hide from the struggle and pain, but he couldn't find a way to vent.

He deeply felt that "being a man is really too hard."

If Hong Daoyan saw all this, he would definitely agree that the conflict between the couple was not accidental.

Although Haiping's purchase of the property was somewhat vain, it was also out of a sense of helplessness in the face of the heavy pressure of life, and the hope of providing her children with better living conditions.

On the other hand, you, Su Chun, are a nobody, with no achievements other than some ** from famous colleges.

I spend my days perfunctorily, am lazy in making progress, and try to avoid things when encountering problems.

This kind of person may appear to be honest and docile, but he is actually extremely irresponsible towards his family! He lacks the responsibility that a man should have! He deserves to be reprimanded.

After the emotional outburst, Haiping actually felt some regret in her heart. For a woman of her age, the blooming period has passed;

The job is dull and the income is low. Although her husband doesn't earn much, he always indulges her in everything.

If they really get divorced, the impact on Haiping will probably be greater than that on Su Chun!

Today was a great day, as I saw the house I liked. Haiping was depressed on the way home, all because of the house price mentioned by the salesperson. Thinking of the pressure of repaying the loan in the future, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Faced with Su Chun's easy-going attitude, as if the purchase of the house had nothing to do with him, she regretted it deeply. She thought about how she could be so naive in the past and chose such an unambitious person to be her companion.

With all the troubles coming one after another, Haiping had to grit her teeth and firmly realize her dream of buying a house. When Su Chun returned home after going out, Haiping adjusted Su Chun's mentality with a gentle tone. On the weekend, Haizao accompanied them to see the suburban villa area; after seeing the display house, even though it was located in a remote location and occasionally small houses and farmland could be seen nearby, Su Chun liked it very much and thought that all the supporting facilities were very complete. He knew that he could only buy this kind of property.

The sales consultant said, "Let's calculate how much we need to pay each month. Assuming we choose a 10-year installment plan, based on the current interest rate, the monthly payment should be about RMB."

Su Chun then asked: "What if I choose to pay in installments over 20 years?"

The salesperson did some calculations and said, "If you use the 20-year installment plan, you will only have to pay over yuan per month."

Su Chun asked again: "How about if it is divided into 30 years?"

The salesperson replied: "Excuse me, sir, how old are you? There are certain regulations on the repayment period, before retirement age..."

Haiping immediately responded: "Let's pay it in installments over 20 years."

On the way back, Su Chun paid attention to the road conditions while asking Haiping: "Haiping, do you plan to pay off the mortgage within 20 years?" Su Chun asked her: "Isn't this a lot of pressure?"

Haiping closed her eyes and didn't want to talk about it anymore, because her most desired goal was to buy a house as soon as possible so that her daughter Ranran could come here and share the joy of family life with them!

She explained her thinking: "Although the pressure is huge, it is the driving force that drives me forward! You can't always be satisfied with the status quo and just get by, right?

Why would we give up fighting for a property when we see others trying their best to own it?

Please, Su Chun, please try harder and be more motivated! In order to achieve my goal, I am now only eating simple noodles and pickled vegetables.

How many ladies would be willing to live such a hard life with you?

We are frugal and only eat these, but we can't save much; even if we continue for two years, we won't save much.

I think we need to actively seek other financial opportunities.

If you have nothing to do, try to find an extra job.

It’s much more useful than wasting time at home reading novels, and I will also explore possible opportunities.”

However, Su Chun seemed extremely excited to hear her say this: "That's great. I've said before that eating only plain soup and noodles won't change the current situation and will only ruin your health."

"Food and clothing come first in people's livelihood, and other matters come next."

Haiping glanced at Su Chun and said, "Even if life is tight, we have to keep going. We have to increase income and cut expenditure. Try to pay off the debt as soon as possible. Living in debt every day makes me unable to sleep or eat."

Haizao, who was listening nearby, held Haiping's arm. She suddenly felt that her sister's life was extremely difficult and depressing.

Is this a real marriage?

My sister works hard day and night. Can this situation be called marriage?

What exactly is marriage?

This scene made her deeply understand that perhaps marriage is a game of money numbers, the trivialities of daily life, and tearing off the beautiful veil of love in the face of reality to reveal the scars and imperfections behind it!

That night, Song Siming participated in some social activities and drank a few glasses of wine. Although he was very sober, he was in a very high mood.
