Chapter 34(2/2)
"Businessman, that's not safe enough. You'd better have something tangible to pass down to your family."
"You have a point."
Jin Shang slightly echoed in embarrassment. No wonder Li Xuan's elders don't seem to be very opposed to buying a house. It seems that their ancestors are the kind of traditional big landowners who annexed land, bought houses, and accumulated wealth from generation to generation to develop and grow.
In their view, those who do business are just making a fortune. Without land, how can they talk about farming, studying and passing down the family?
"The way of the people is that those who have permanent property have perseverance, and those who do not have perseverance. If you don't have perseverance, you will do anything to ward off evil and extravagance."
This is what Yasheng Mencius said. The general idea is that ordinary people without fixed assets (land) are definitely unreliable; people who have not laid down a foundation and are unstable are relatively easy to do things that violate etiquette, break the law, and do evil.
This is also the core basis for the Confucian inheritance that mothers-in-law are particularly demanding about housing when it comes to starting a family.
To put it bluntly, our "cultural genes" are always reminding our compatriots not to believe in people who "have no permanent property" and cannot start a family or establish a career.
You don’t even have a house. If you marry your daughter to you, who knows where you will make your home in the future, or whether you will leave your wife and children without saying goodbye?
merchant?
Traffickers and lackeys are not worth a penny.
Seemingly realizing that there was something wrong with her mother's attitude, Li Xuan quickly explained:
"His family has an ancestral football team, stadium, garment factory, fresh food supermarket and hotpot city, all of which are owned by him."
"oh!"
Ms. Cao responded and her face looked better.
It has industry, a reputation, land, workshops, and shops. It doesn't seem too bad. Although it's a lot worse than thousands of acres of fertile land, tall buildings, and pavilions, it's still a family business after all.
Moreover, settling down in the capital is also a plus.
"Our family, Xuanxuan, has been pampered since she was a child. She doesn't understand anything. She doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between grains. Xiaojin takes more care of her."
After hearing this, Li Xuan complained unhappily:
"How could you say that about your daughter? I am different now..."
"I don't know anything about your skills?"
Ms. Cao glared at her daughter fiercely, and then continued,
"There are many parks nearby and the scenery is good, but the surrounding houses are too small. Is this a villa in the capital? It's just a simple independent small foreign-style building..."
"What Auntie said is that given the conditions in the capital, it is still very expensive. In the final analysis, it is because there is less land and more people."
Not only was Li Xuan's mother Cao Heng dissatisfied, Jin Shang was also somewhat disappointed when he passed by a nearby villa area.
