Reborn in 1970, the chief’s wife wants a divorce

"Zhenzhu, if you want to buy a house, we can go to the Housing Authority and ask Xiaoqian! If we keep wandering around like this, how long will it take to find someone selling a house?" Zhou Bingchen said.

"Do you have any acquaintances in the Housing Authority?" Zhao Zhenzhu's eyes lit up.

"Grandpa Qian's grandson Qian Rukun is the deputy director of the Housing Authority. We met Xiao Qian when we went out this morning, and he greeted us," said Zhou Bingchen.

Zhao Zhenzhu thought about it, and then the image of a tall and thin young man emerged in her mind.

If Zhou Bingchen hadn't told her, Zhao Zhenzhu really wouldn't have known that Qian Rukun, who looked so carefree, was actually a junior cadre in the Housing Authority.

"That's great. Come on, Bingchen, let's go find Xiaoqian and ask him." Zhao Zhenzhu exclaimed, took Zhou Bingchen's hand, turned around and walked back.

Zhao Zhenzhu was so happy. It's easier to get things done when you have acquaintances!

If they weren't outside, Zhao Zhenzhu would definitely hug Zhou Bingchen's face and kiss him.

Zhou Bingchen has made great progress now.

He truly shared Zhao Zhenzhu's concerns and thought about what Zhao Zhenzhu was thinking about.

"Wrong. Zhenzhu, the Housing Authority is over here, we should go forward." Zhou Bingchen grabbed Zhao Zhenzhu and changed direction.

Housing Authority.

After Qian Rukun got to work, he sat at his desk and sighed.

There is an application form on the desk.

The application was written by Qian Rukun, but unfortunately, it was not approved at yesterday's meeting.

"Xiao Qian~! Xiao Qian~!" At this time, a gray-haired old man walked in and asked, "Is there any news about your Housing Authority purchasing my property?"

"Uncle Ma, please sit here." Qian Rukun stood up and took Uncle Ma to sit on the wooden sofa beside him.

"Xiao Qian, just tell me the truth. Is your company willing to buy my house? Cai Ling called last night and said that a hospital has been found and urged me and her mother to go there quickly." Uncle Ma said with a frown.

Cai Ling is Uncle Ma’s daughter and is now in Hong Kong.

Before liberation, Ma Cailing's husband's family all went to Hong Kong, but Uncle Ma's family was reluctant to leave their ancestral property and stayed in Beijing.

The Ma family was a wealthy family with four courtyard houses in Beijing. The largest one was originally occupied by Mr. Qian and his family. It had five courtyards, a garden, a rockery and a pond, and was truly beautiful.

Unfortunately, during the movement, all of the Ma family’s properties, including the magnificent courtyard house, were confiscated.

Uncle Ma and his family were driven out of the big house and moved into the servants' quarters.

Within two years, Uncle Ma's only son could not bear the gap in his life and committed suicide.

Uncle Ma and his wife have lost contact with Xiangjiang's daughter Ma Cailing, and the couple depend on each other for survival.

Fortunately, the dark days are finally over.

In recent years, the Ma family’s properties have gradually returned to Uncle Ma.

Unfortunately, Aunt Ma is sick.

Aunt Ma has a tumor in her brain and needs surgery to heal it.

Craniotomy is not yet mature in China, so doctors in Beijing suggested that Mr. Ma take his wife to a developed country for the operation.

Just when Uncle Ma was at a loss, his daughter Ma Cailing, who was far away in Hong Kong, contacted him again.

Ma Cailing went to the hospital to ask, and the doctor said that craniotomy is a mature surgery in Hong Kong and there is an 80% chance that Aunt Ma can be cured.

However, the surgery is very expensive, probably around 6,000 yuan.

Ma Cailing asked Mr. Ma and his wife to move to Hong Kong. Her younger brother was gone, her parents were old, and there was no one to take care of them. Ma Cailing was worried.

After Mr. Ma and his wife went to Hong Kong, they found a residence close to Ma Cailing's home so that Ma Cailing would be able to take care of her parents in the future.

Uncle Ma thought about it and decided to sell the house and go to Hong Kong to join his daughter.

When you get older, you just want to enjoy family happiness.

Uncle Ma asked Qian Rukun to help him find a buyer. If the Housing Authority is willing to reclaim the property, Uncle Ma can sell it to the Housing Authority at a slightly lower price.

Uncle Ma has only one condition, which is "speed must be fast".

Aunt Ma’s illness cannot be delayed.

Uncle Ma doesn't want to lose his wife's life just to earn an extra thousand or two thousand dollars.

Qian Rukun did not give Uncle Ma a perfunctory response and actually asked several people on his behalf.

Unfortunately, everyone shook their heads.

In this day and age, few people are willing to spend money to buy a house.

Everyone stretched their necks and stood on tiptoe, waiting for the company to allocate housing. The company allocated housing without spending a penny.

What's more, Uncle Ma's house is not cheap.

The five-story house where Mr. Ma and his wife currently live is priced at 18,000 yuan. Together with the other three houses, the package price is at least 35,000 yuan.

In this day and age, anyone who can afford 5,000 yuan at home is considered a wealthy person.

Thirty-five thousand is not a small amount.

The Housing Authority’s taking back of the house needs to be discussed at a meeting.

Yesterday, at the meeting, Qian Rukun had just raised the topic when he was interrupted by their Director Wu.

The Housing Authority is a poor government agency. Apart from the funds allocated from above to pay employees' salaries, it usually cannot come up with even 3,500, let alone 35,000.

Qian Rukun was helpless.

"Uncle Ma, how about this? You take Aunt to get treatment first, and I will help you sell the houses slowly. I'll give you the money for each house I sell. Is that okay?" Qian Rukun thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a good solution, so he had to say this.

"Little money! I want to do the same, but the money Shufen and I have is not enough to buy two plane tickets to Hong Kong! I heard from Cai Ling that everything is expensive in Hong Kong, food is expensive, housing is expensive, and medical treatment is even more expensive. We have no money, what should we do about Shufen's illness? If we don't have food to eat, we will starve to death!" Uncle Ma said with a frown.

Uncle Ma wasn't actually in such a desperate situation. He just sounded pitiful because he wanted Qian Rukun to help him think of a solution.

If she went to Hong Kong, Ma Cailing would definitely not watch her parents starve to death.

However, Uncle Ma doesn't want to make things difficult for his daughter in her husband's family. He has money, so he doesn't have to worry about anything!

Otherwise, when Ma Cailing's in-laws went to Hong Kong, Uncle Ma would have gone with them long ago.

Uncle Ma was reluctant to part with the several houses passed down from his ancestors. At that time, it was a period of war, and Uncle Ma couldn't sell the houses even if he wanted to.

If I stay in Beijing, at least I have a place to live and I can collect rent from a few houses, so I won't starve to death.

I didn't expect something like that to happen later.

Fortunately, everything is over and the house is back in the hands of Uncle Ma.

However, Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma are now like frightened birds, fearing that history will repeat itself one day and they will be driven out of their house again.

Aunt Ma’s illness became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Uncle Ma needs to sell his house to treat Aunt Ma’s illness.

Uncle Ma finally made up his mind, sold his house, and took the money to live with his daughter.

When Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhou Bingchen arrived at the Housing Management Office, they happened to see Uncle Ma holding Qian Rukun's hand and crying about his difficulties.
