Chapter 932: Buying a House as an Investment
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the discussion unfolded, Lin Cheng and Li Hua struggled to grasp Gu Zi’s proposal. In their mindset, having a single home was sufficient—why complicate matters by purchasing multiple properties?
The concept of real estate as an investment seemed foreign to them, leaving them momentarily at a loss for words and they turned to An Yun for guidance.
An Yun, equally perplexed, leaned in to consult her husband.
“Gu Zi,” she asked gently after awhile, “I don’t quite understand. Why do you think house prices will soar in the future?”
All eyes were on Gu Zi, a mix of curiosity and confusion swirling among them.
Su Li, ever the enthusiastic supporter, chimed in, “Grandma, Mom says house prices will definitely rise! Mom is amazing!”
To Su Li, Gu Zi was a figure of reverence, her words carrying an almost prophetic weight.
With a fond smile, Gu Zi affectionately ruffled Su Li’s hair before replying, “It’s just a hypothesis based on urban development trends. I’m not certain, but cities will continue to expand, and with that, there will be a need for more land. Eventually, the government will have to acquire land for public use, offering substantial compensation to those affected…”
Her explanation was articulate, yet the rest of the family still appeared bewildered. It seemed they were unable to envision the magnitude of the potential price surge.
After a moment of contemplation, An Yun addressed Li Hua and Lin Cheng, “I might not fully grasp what your sister is saying, but it seems wise to trust her judgment. What do you think?”
Lin Cheng felt no inclination to disagree; after all, Gu Zi had already done so much for their family. Thanks to her and Su Shen’s support, the Lin family had transformed from struggling to thriving. He shrugged, leaving the decision to Li Hua.
Li Hua chuckled lightly, “Honestly, I’m a bit confused too, but if Mom thinks it’s worth considering, I’m on board. We haven’t missed an opportunity yet by listening to Gu Zi. So, shall we buy two properties? But where should we invest?”
Seeing her family’s faith in her, Gu Zi’s heart swelled with happiness. She had witnessed the transformations brought about by Su Shen’s initial investment in their business, and now, she yearned to help her family take another leap toward financial stability. Yet, she understood that not everyone shared her ambition.
The Lin family had never been driven by a desire for wealth; they simply wanted a respectable livelihood and to avoid the stigma of relying on Su family’s generosity.
“I just want to be clear,” she said, her voice gentle yet firm. “If you genuinely believe in this idea and want to invest in properties, I’m all for it. But you can use your money however feels right to you. I’m just suggesting a path forward.”
Her family understood her intentions, even if her brother and father didn’t fully grasp the implications. Li Hua reassured her, “We’re here to listen, dear. Everyone has their moments of misjudgment. We trust your instincts. Just tell us where to invest.”
With a sense of purpose, Gu Zi jotted down a few promising locations on a piece of paper, instructing her family to choose two spots from her recommendations. They agreed wholeheartedly, and the following day, Li Hua arranged to meet her close friend Gui Hua to look at potential properties together.
Gui Hua had saved up over the years and, combined with the money from her wedding, felt confident about purchasing a property in the city. Since marrying Lin Hun, he had matured significantly, focusing on work at the pig farm and ensuring a stable income for their family.
Excited to align her plans with Li Hua’s, Gui Hua was eager to buy in the same vicinity. In the end, they decided on neighboring units.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Zi settled into a peaceful study routine as her exam preparations resumed. She enjoyed leisurely mornings, waking up when she pleased.
On days she rose early, she made breakfast; on lazy mornings, Su Bing took over. Su Bing’s culinary skills had blossomed, and he now mastered a variety of nutritious dishes. With that, Gu Zi could focus on her studies without worrying about the kids’ breakfasts.
