Chapter 386

"So this is why the marriage rate and birth rate in Sunshine City have been so high for three consecutive years." Bai Liu thoughtfully, "It turns out that it is because of the existence of this [Sunshine Seedling] loan."

Mu Sicheng was horrified when he heard this: "The children are mortgaged? If these children grow up and know that they are mortgaged, don't they run away?"

The old woman sighed and shook her head: "You can't run away, as long as you come to Sunshine City, there is no way to leave without paying off the loan."

"My wife and I haven't left this place for 60 years since the day we started taking out a loan to buy a house." The old man looked outside District E, which was blocked by tall buildings, and only a glimmer of sunlight could be seen. , there was a fleeting longing in his eyes, "Sometimes I want to go outside and have a look, but as long as I take a day off and work, there is nothing wrong."

"I really hope that after paying off the loan in ten years, there will be some spare money so that we can live to see the outside world."

"In Sunshine City, I have lived such a long time, and I haven't seen the whole sun yet."

The old man whispered softly like a sigh, but before the sound fell, he covered his mouth and coughed violently, blood and pus gushing out of his mouth and nose.

The old grandma next to her used to take out a small handkerchief on her chest to wipe for the old grandpa, and nodded to Bai Liu and the others in embarrassment: "Just kidding, he and I are both working on the construction site, there is too much dust, The respiratory tract has always been bad, an old problem."

"Medical expenses are a big expense every month. When we were young, we should have worn protective shields, and we shouldn't have to hurry up because of the job rush." ​​The old lady blamed the old man slightly. Back, with a long sigh, "You can see now, why do you go to see a doctor all the time?"

Tang Erda took out a bottle of water, slowly fed the old man with a dry cough, and asked with a frown, "This is an occupational disease caused by long-term work, right? It is considered a serious work injury. Does your company not pay compensation?"

The old man and the old lady were a little confused when they heard this: "What kind of work-related injury, what kind of compensation?"

Tang Erda just wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he thought of the various bizarre systems here. Under these bizarre systems, it is simply too extravagant for the company to compensate employees for occupational diseases, so he just opened his mouth. He closed his mouth again, and finally just said "nothing" stiffly, and confused the question.

On the contrary, the old man drank a couple of sips of water slowly, and after thinking about it for a while, he seemed to understand the meaning of Tang Er's attack, and he shook his head as if he thought it was amused: "Hey Ah, later on, after working on construction sites for decades, at my age, everyone will suffer from this disease, the company can manage it, and the medical expenses are so expensive."

"They started the company to make money for me, not for charity." The old man waved his hand, "Do you care about your medical expenses for decades? How can it be so good."

Bai Liu followed the old man's slow pace and walked side by side: "I found out that there are many new citizens in Sunshine City. Are you a native of Sunshine City or an immigrant?"

"My wife and I are both immigrants." The old man looked at Bai Liu, "Sunshine City has had fewer immigrants in the past few years, but in the early years, there were more immigrants in the same group as me!"

Bai Liu followed along and asked: "Why did Sunshine City have so many immigrants in the early years?"

"Because there is a loan project in our batch called [Sunshine New Project]." The old man seemed to have a bad memory, so he stopped and thought hard to recall, "What are the specific terms? I don’t remember exactly, but anyway, if you come to Sunshine City and plan to buy a house, you can introduce more than 20 foreigners to buy a house in Sunshine City, then you can get almost three million yuan. ‌Household subsidies.”

"A lot of people bought houses in the middle of the 30s at the time, with an average price of 200,000 yuan. This is basically equivalent to a 50% discount!" The old man said happily, "Although the salary level was not high at that time, one or two thousand a month, it was still a good deal!"

The old lady also nodded approvingly: "Back then, buying a house was the most correct decision we ever made."

"At that time we didn't want to come here." The old lady couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing as she recalled.

"Yes, because my wife and I were also coaxed by friends to come here at that time, because the other party needs 20 foreigners to come to buy a house in order to enjoy the [Sunshine New] loan service here." The old man raised his head slightly, Recalling the past, "At that time, I lobbied vigorously with my friends. I was a loyal person, so I still bought it after I gritted my teeth. Later, I also enjoyed the [Sunshine New] service for me, called "Twenty friends came to buy a house."

The old man waved his hand proudly: "Of course, they are very grateful to me now, otherwise, according to the current housing prices, they would absolutely not be able to afford the house."

Bai Liu's eyes moved slightly: "Yes."

No wonder there are so many new immigrants in Sunshine City. It turned out to be this kind of pyramid scheme to attract people.

If one person buys a house here to repay the loan, it will bring 20 people to come here to buy a house to repay the loan, and if 20 people buy a house, it will bring 400 people to come here. Once a house is bought here in Sunshine City, there will be no lenders. If you can't go, people will be completely trapped in the Sunshine City.

"Is there any loan project in [Sunshine New ]?" Bai Liu asked softly, "I think there are still many immigrants coming here."

"Not long ago." The old man shook his head, "In Sunshine City, the population can increase a lot in a year without the need for foreign population to be introduced. The immigrants who come here are probably not well-informed. They didn’t know [Sunshine Xinxin] that the loan had been canceled long ago, and they didn’t make it in time.”

The old lady sighed: "This group of young people came too late. Come early to catch the good time. You can buy a good set of houses in Sunshine City, about 20 square meters, just by pulling people. "

"Hey, since the house price is really high, it's no wonder you young people are forced to live in the cemetery." The old man couldn't help but sigh, "You're basically dead if you live in this house, you guys You are so courageous, you dare to buy and live here.”

Bai Liu quickly grasped the key word: "cemetery room?"

The old man gave Bai Liu and the others a strange look, and asked in a low tone: "You don't know? Road 444, Road 18, District E is the Sunshine City Cemetery."

Mu Ke paused for a moment: "But the real estate certificate says it's the 18th floor, so how come it's a cemetery?"

"That's right." The old man explained naturally, "The cemetery here is also a building. It is hollowed out and built in the opposite direction. It is close to the ground as the first floor of the cemetery. The higher the floor, the higher the floor. Generally, every day There are 18 floors in the tomb, and what you get is the top floor, which can also be said to be the bottom floor of the cemetery, the worst floor of the cemetery."

"The ground floor is a large-scale cemetery, which can generally hold all the corpses. There are 3-5 square meters, and the average floor area is generally 2.7 square meters. Most of them are bought by wealthy first-class citizens. , the top is generally only 1 or 2 square meters, and the average is only about 1.5 square meters. You can only put one corpse, which is not very easy to sell. It is still on sale today. Your 2.5 square meters are considered big. .”

"To the cemetery on the 18th floor?!" Mu Sicheng was a little dizzy when he heard it, "What is the difference between this shit and the 18th floor of hell?"

The old man really thought that Mu Sicheng was joking when he heard it, but he laughed aloud: "This is the characteristic of Sunshine City. Both the cemetery and the buildings are high-rise buildings, otherwise a cemetery would occupy a piece of land." The land is so expensive that most people can’t afford it.”

"But don't buy this cemetery house to live in." After laughing, the old man sternly put his arms around Bai Liu and said solemnly, "I know some young people buy this cemetery house as a living room because of its cheap price, but never Do not stay."

"You can live in a haunted house, why can't you live here?" Bai Liu asked back with raised eyebrows.

The old man lowered his voice, leaned into Bai Liu's ear and said, "There is no elevator in the cemetery building. If you want to go back to the cemetery room on the 18th floor to rest, you can only walk from the first floor to the first floor. Go, you have to pass all the cemetery rooms."

"But this is where the dead are, and they come out at night to move around."

"If you live in a haunted house, you only meet one ghost, but if you live in a cemetery, you meet a ghost on the first floor. You can still hide from a ghost. Where can you hide from a ghost on the first floor? You don't even have time to run to the ground. ‌."

The old man coughed a little, and patted Bai Liu's shoulder earnestly: "Living in a place where dead people live is really turning dead, young people, you should work hard to earn money, and try to buy it on the ground. A house in Sunshine City."
