Chapter 934: Crowdfunding for Housing
Gu Hongjuan said with a smile, "Dad, that’s the right way to think. Before, times were tough, and you two were used to saving. We understand that. But now life is better, and you need to change your mindset. We aren’t short on money. Do whatever makes you happy and comfortable. It’s time for you and mom to enjoy some blessings."
Everyone in the room echoed her sentiment. The children were filial, and the old couple had nothing but happiness on their faces, all smiles.
Today, the daughters-in-law were busy in the kitchen while the aunt and younger aunt were looking after the children in the living room. Luo Qiao and Luo Jialin, the two pampered guests, were also pushed out of the kitchen. They sat in the living room, chatting with everyone else.
The eldest aunt recalled something she had heard a few days ago and looked at her daughter not far away, "Jialin, I heard a while ago that the steel factory is planning to build dormitory buildings. Is that true?"
Luo Jialin was peeling an orange for her son, "Yeah, Zheng Zhiyuan also mentioned it. There was a huge fuss about it at the plant. The buildings haven’t even been constructed yet, and there was nearly an uproar. They couldn’t come to a decision before the holiday—it’s a tricky issue."
Song Shiya held her granddaughter, "Building houses is a good thing. What’s there to argue about?"
Luo Jialin wiped the orange juice from her son’s mouth with a handkerchief, "The factory has enough land on the east side to build three buildings, but all the factory’s funds are being invested in the new converter construction, so there’s not much money to spare.
The situation now is that they can either build one building and wait until there is more money to build the remaining two, or they can collect funds by having employees pitch in half, with the factory providing the other half as a subsidy to get all three buildings built.
