On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Wei Zijin got up bright and early.
"Not taking another couple of days off?" Wang Xiaoliang stood behind her, watching her in the mirror.
"No, I need to go back to work early," Wei Zijin explained as she straightened her collar. "That way, I can save up a few more days of leave and have a little more flexibility when we get married."
Wang Xiaoliang hugged her from behind.
"Getting impatient?"
"Haven't we already settled on it? Planning ahead is my habit."
"A good habit. I really ought to learn from you."
"Oh, buy a pair of stockings. Black ones. Wear them on the night of the fifteenth. Get them ready in advance!"
Wei Zijin turned to look at Wang Xiaoliang in puzzlement, then caught on.
"You're such a dirty pervert..."
They went downstairs together, had breakfast, and took the subway.
Wang Xiaoliang had something important to take care of.
The paperwork for the property purchase contract.
The sales office had representatives from several banks, all attentive and welcoming.
He submitted his information and filled out the forms.
Since Wang Xiaoliang had a company in his name,
and substantial transaction activity in his bank account,
approval came through quickly.
When he took that weighty "Property Purchase Contract,"
he finally had a property that truly belonged to him.
This was his and Wei Zijin's future.
After reading the purchase contract carefully, he discovered something.
The loan principal was 1.96 million yuan, and the total interest... 1,998,700 yuan.
Nearly two million in interest!
That was far too much interest.
Before, he had only thought about the down payment and monthly payments. He had never actually calculated that the total interest over thirty years would be such a terrifying figure.
Was it worth it?
