Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland-Chapter 376 - Buying a House 2_1
Chapter 376 -376 Buying a House 2_1
Although houses were cheap in the 1970s, for someone who only earned a few dozen dollars a month, a few thousand dollars were still hard to come by.
“I have a thousand dollars here. It’s for you to buy a house. Buy a bigger one.”
Meng Yunhan shook her head in refusal, “Dad, I can’t use your money.”
Old Zhao was upset, “You call me dad, you should accept this money. Don’t you want to provide for my old age?”
“Mom, Grandpa….” Little Huzi looked at his mom, then at his grandpa.
“Dad, of course I want to provide for your old age, so I’ll accept it,” Meng Yunhan thought about giving back in the future and doubling her care for her father.
A thousand dollars, this was probably his retirement savings.
With this money, it was time to act.
In two days, Meng Yunhan looked over the nearby houses. She wanted to find a bigger one, closer to Kyoto University, which was kind of difficult.
After all, the better the house, the higher the price.
“Take your time with the house hunting, there’s no rush, no rush.”
By the second week, Meng Yunhan finally found a decent house. She directly locked it down for five thousand dollars. This money came from trading grains over the past few years, gifts from her mother-in-law and father, and Ahao’s support over the years.
“This house is nice, very nice.” Old Zhao was glad that his daughter could buy such a good house for three thousand dollars.
After buying a house, Meng Yunhan had to play poor, “Dad, now, we have to eat porridge.”
If they continued to live as before, her father would surely suspect something.
Old Zhao agreed straightforwardly, “If we have to eat porridge, then we eat porridge. At least we’ve settled in Kyoto now.”
“We can’t afford to buy any new things.”
The furniture in the house was left by the previous owner.
“No problem, I can make some small furnishings, we can buy things little by little. I just don’t know when Ahao will be back, hope he won’t walk into the wrong house then.”
Meng Yunhan laughed when she pictured that scene.
Seeing Meng Yunhan laughing, Little Huzi also started to chuckle.
Seeing his grandson’s laughter, Old Zhao also joined in. The family was laughing heartily.
Meng Yunhan said they would eat porridge, but how could she let her family eat porridge?
Dad was old, and Little Huzi was growing, they couldn’t lack nutrition.
Meng Yunhan bought some marrow bones, radishes, and kelp to stew together.
Old Zhao knew that marrow bone was cheap, but it consumed a lot of fuel.
Since they moved, they could use firewood. Old Zhao would bring back a bundle of firewood every time he pushed Little Huzi out.
They had also planted some vegetables and raised chickens in their yard.
Of course, Meng Yunhan also dug up some flowers and brought them back, making their courtyard lively.
Meng Yunhan didn’t tell her dorm sisters about the move fearing they would think she was showing off, such an act was not in her nature, certain things should happen naturally.
“Hey, who are you? What are you doing at my house?”
Yun Hao was startled, “Where are the original tenants?”
The man glanced at Yun Hao, and was taken aback by his military uniform, “How would I know?” His previous arrogance diminished.
Where did father-in-law and wife go?
Why didn’t they rent the house anymore?
Did they run out of money?
Last time his wife visited the army, he gave her a few months’ worth of subsidies, they should have money to rent a house, right?

So why have they stopped renting?
“You must be Old Zhao’s son-in-law. They’ve moved.” Someone from next door recognized Yun Hao, recalling Old Zhao’s farewell.
