Married at First Sight Chapter 4830
He saw the sign of Zeng’s Clinic.
But Lao Jiu drove fast and passed it in a flash.
He didn’t even have time to take a good look.
No problem, he was going to buy a house here anyway, and if he felt unwell in the future, he would send money to Zeng’s Clinic. Of course,
he would go there when Zeng Xiaoya was helping out at the clinic. He could use the same methods that Lin Jian could use.
He could also make his presence felt and pursue Zeng Xiaoya step by step.
With his conditions, Zhan Yue felt that everyone in the Zeng family would like him, and Lin Jian should just stand aside.
Zeng Xiaoya didn’t like Lin Jian.
They were in a senior-junior relationship and had known each other for much longer than he had. If Zeng Xiaoya liked Lin Jian, they would have been together long ago.
And Zeng Xiaoya’s colleague and classmate didn’t like that male classmate either.
“This street has a lot of people. There are companies and schools nearby, and there are also many residential areas.”
Zhan Yan slowed down the car, approaching Wansheng Garden.
Even as he drove past, he saw the prosperity of this street.
Zhan Yue said: “Otherwise, why would I be interested in the houses here? After the real estate market crash, housing prices fell in many places, but the housing prices here have not fallen. In some good communities, housing prices have even rebounded.”
“The overall environment is not good now. Many shops are closed and have signs saying ‘Wangshang Shops for Rent’. When we came in, you noticed that all the shops on this street are open for business.”
“The street name is well chosen, Wansheng Street.”
Zhan Yan said: “Why don’t you buy the shops on this street? The monthly rent is considerable, and the money will be paid back faster than if you bought an apartment and waited for it to appreciate in value.”
“Why buy? All the shops on this street belong to our family.”
Zhan Yan: “…No way, how could I not know!”
On such a prosperous street, an entire street of shops actually belonged to his family.
Oh, his elders must have good investment sense. Business on this street must be good. With good business, they wouldn’t have to worry about paying the rent. A whole street, a month’s rent, would be quite substantial for the average person.
But for the Zhan family… Young Master Zhan Jiu didn’t even know the shops on this street belonged to them.
Zhan Yue said, “This is managed by my eldest sister-in-law, and we don’t have to go through her. You know what a big deal that is.”
Zhan Yan smiled and said, “I see. I should know. If I were to get carried away and rent a storefront here one day, wouldn’t I be renting my own shop?”
“Would you do such a thing? You have the time to open a shop?”
Zhan Yue: “…I was just making an analogy, not really.”
He knew the women in his family also had to manage the family property, the small businesses that the mistress of the household was supposed to run, and collecting rent was one of them.
But he didn’t know what those businesses were.
The men were responsible for the outside world, and the women were responsible for the home.
Now that his aunt was gradually ceding power, the burden of being the head of the household to his sister-in-law, Zhan Yan didn’t care what businesses they were supposed to manage, or how many there were. He didn’t need to worry about it, as long as he didn’t have to.
“How many streets did our family own?”
“You can go back and ask my sister-in-law. I don’t know exactly. The shops on this street are ours, or maybe I was interested in the houses in Wansheng Garden, and after some research, I realized we were collecting the rent.”
Zhan Yue spoke honestly.
He had the same idea as his brother.
It wasn’t his responsibility to worry about it, so why ask so many questions? He could just pretend he didn’t know.
