Break out of the courtyard

"Lou Bancheng has a good trick. He is taking advantage of our country's efforts to improve its international image to throw dirty water on our country. It's very good!"

Facing this gloomy old man in gray Chinese tunic suit, Lou Xiaoe smiled lightly and said, "We are just seeking truth from facts!"

"Hmph!" The old man in Chinese tunic suit snorted coldly, "Bring it here!"

Lou Xiao'e seemed puzzled and asked: "What to take?"

"You don't think that just by opening your mouth and spending money to publish an article in a newspaper, you can defraud us of houses and dividends!" The old man in Mao suit sneered: "The household registration book, real estate certificate, and identity issued by the street Proof, dividend agreement, if you don’t show proof, who knows if you are a fake!”

"Besides these, what else do you need?" Lou Xiao'e was secretly glad that when she ran away, her father saved a hand and took away the house deed.

As for their household registration books, they were taken away because they had to be inspected on the way when they escaped. I just don’t know if the eldest brother and second brother’s household registration books are still there.

The old man in Chinese tunic suit picked up the tea cup, took a sip slowly, and then said: "Bring all the materials and apply in person!"

"This is my hometown return permit and Hong Kong ID card." Lou Xiao'e took out the documents she had prepared long ago from her handbag. "This is my household registration book and house deed."

The old man glanced at the documents on the table and said calmly: "We still need an identification letter issued by the street."

"I have my hometown return permit, ID card, and household registration book. Can't I prove it?"

"There are so many people with the same name and there are no photos in your household registration book. Who knows if they are the same person!"

Lou Xiao'e finally saw that the old man was reassured that he would not do it for her today. Even if she showed her identity certificate issued by the street, the other party would delay it with reasons that needed to be verified.

Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath and asked: "Which street office do I need a certification letter?"

The old man was silent, which made Lou Xiaoe even more convinced that the other party was just trying to delay it in various ways; if she randomly found a street office, the other party would definitely find dozens of reasons why that street office couldn't handle it.

"I know you are not so kind to return my things!" Lou Xiao'e put away the documents on the table and snorted coldly: "It's a shame that we still want to come back to set up a joint venture factory, but the result is still the same. Let's wait and see tomorrow's newspaper!"

……

February 2th, Tuesday, the beginning of spring.

Lou Xiao'e, who looked haggard and had two dark circles under her eyes, was waiting at the gate of No. 7 Courtyard on the North Shore of Houhai early in the morning.

When she saw Ma Xiuzhen going out, she immediately greeted her, "Aunt, thank you! My apartment is coming back!"

When Lou Xiao'e said this, her face was half happy and half bitter.

She came to the capital on the 31st of last month. When her threat to return to Hong Kong Island and continue to publish articles in newspapers failed, she took the ID card issued by Xijiaominxiang and asked for a house the next day.

As she expected, after the clerk took her ID for verification, the next day the clerk rejected Lou Xiaoe's application on the grounds that the street clerk who issued the identity certificate did not know Lou Xiaoe, causing Lou Xiaoe to waste 300 yuan in public relations fees.

Afterwards, Lou Xiaoe went to the Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office and asked Ma Xiuzhen for help.

After discussing with Director Wang, Ma Xiuzhen took Xiao Li, who was in charge of household registration, and Lou Xiao'e to No. 95 Courtyard to ask Yan Bugui, Qin Huairu and others to confirm that Lou Xiao'e was Lou Xiao'e, sign the certificate, and finally have the street office stamp it. prove.

After the second certificate was handed in, although there was still some delay, it was no longer an issue with the certificate, but an issue with the family who lived in the small western-style building at No. 58 Xijiaomin Lane and did not want to move.

The other party once offered 1 yuan to buy this small western-style house from Lou Xiao'e, but how could Lou Xiao'e be so interested in that little money that she was determined to take back the house, regardless of the other party's level.

"Just come back!" Ma Xiuzhen smiled at Lou Xiao'e who was following her: "I'm still in a hurry to go to work, so I won't talk to you."

When Ma Lili was just learning tailoring, Zhang Heping even borrowed the Xu family's sewing machine, which was the one that the Lou family gave Lou Xiao'e as a dowry.

Therefore, Ma Xiuzhen's feelings towards Lou Xiao'e are still very good, but Zhang Cuishan, that ungrateful guy, failed Lou Xiao'e.

"Aunt, when my house is cleaned up, can you invite your family to have a meal to thank me?" Lou Xiao'e asked innocently, never thinking that she would not be able to take back the house.

"No!" Ma Xiuzhen remembered Director Wang's instructions to her. Lou Xiao'e asked for the house to offend the tenants inside, and got too close to Lou Xiao'e, fearing to affect Zhang Heping's promotion.

Ma Xiuzhen obviously took Director Wang's words seriously, but she didn't know that the things Zhang Heping did abroad had already ruined his chances of promotion.

After Lou Xiao'e watched Ma Xiuzhen walk away, she turned back and knocked on the door of No. 7 Courtyard, and then saw Tang Xin and the others.

After a while of greetings, Lou Xiao'e reiterated her promise to give Zhang Heping a villa after returning to her father's villa, and finally invited Tang Xin and Chen Shuting to her home for dinner.

Can Lou Xiao'e get her father's villa back?

Obviously not. Her father is dead, how could she apply for the original property in person.

"Going to your house for dinner?" Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, "Isn't your house..."

"I just got my two-story small villa back." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "How about I clean up the house and then formally invite you over?"

Tang Xin was still thinking about Zhang Heping's previous rejection of Lou Xiao'e, but Chen Shuting on the side agreed.

"Okay! I stopped by your house and asked if there are any small western-style houses for sale." Chen Shuting said happily: "You don't know, we have looked at several courtyard houses recently, but none of them have bathrooms."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she immediately nodded in agreement, "The courtyard is so inconvenient. I have to go out every morning to empty the urinal."

"Wait until summer morning, when you go to the breakfast stall and see those people queuing up with buckets of urine to buy breakfast; I don't even know how to describe the smell to you."

After leaving Zhang's house, Lou Xiao'e went to Xijiaomin Lane to take a look.

The intersection between Xijiaomin Lane and the Great Hall of the People West Road once belonged to the Lou family.

Later, in order to cooperate with the construction, the Lou family donated most of the property. Now there are only three small western-style buildings on the southeast corner of the intersection, which belong to her and her second brother.

Now, she just wants to return to the small western-style building No. 58 that belongs to her.

The two-story small western-style building No. 58, located to the north of No. 57, and the two-story and a half western-style building No. 57, located to the east of No. 55, have not been returned yet. His second brother needs to return to the capital.

As for the three-story mansion No. 56 in the middle, her father gave it away many years ago. She originally wanted to rely on someone to support her, but she didn't expect that the other person died earlier than her father.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the two-story small foreign-style building that belonged to her at No. 58. There was a guard at the door, and it was obvious that it had not moved yet.

She looked across the road for a while, thinking that Zhang Heping had said that he was unwilling to offend the tenants in the villa for her, but Zhang Heping's secretary Chen Shuting had just said that Zhang Heping had not been at home recently...

"Maybe we can make a time difference and let his wife buy it." Lou Xiao'e thought of this, then she changed her mind and walked towards the small western-style building No. 58.

After explaining her purpose to the guard at the door, she was quickly called in.

Not long after, Lou Xiao'e walked out with a gloomy face and flew back to Hong Kong Island that afternoon.

The next morning, Lou Xiao'e took the Hong Kong Morning News, took her second brother, and flew to the capital again.

Because she had the experience of asking for a house for the first time, Lou Xiaoe first took her second brother to the street to get an identity certificate, and also found some people who knew her second brother to sign the certificate.

On the morning of February 2, Lou Xiaoe took the newspaper that published the accusation article yesterday and took his second brother to ask for a house again.

In the afternoon of the same day, although his second brother nominally asked for the house and got a certificate of ownership of the house, the subsequent process of asking for the house was not smooth. Even the hotel was told not to let them stay. .

That night, Lou Xiao'e didn't want Tang Xin and the others to see her embarrassment, so she took her second brother to Shazhu's place to spend the night.

On the afternoon of the 8th, the two Lou brothers flew back to Hong Kong Island angrily and began to describe their experiences in the capital with pictures and texts in newspapers.

During this period, someone approached them and wanted to use magnesium dollars to buy their house in the capital at the market price of the capital. There were three small western-style buildings located more than 3 meters west of the main square in the capital. The largest one was only offered 300 magnesium dollars. In other words, It’s only 8 yuan, how could Lou Xiao’e agree!

The incident continued to unfold. Seeing that their boss had not returned yet, two female public relations officers from Tingmei Trading Company ran to Tingmei Health Care Factory and called Chen Shuting to report the matter in the newspaper.

"Boss, many Hong Kong businessmen are saying that the mainland's policies are unstable. Most of them have returned to Hong Kong Island. You should come back as soon as possible!"

"I know!" Chen Shuting responded with a frown, and then asked about the delivery status of Xiongqi wine and Viagra tablets in January.

Then, she hung up the phone calmly, greeted Director Wang as if nothing had happened, and left the street office as usual.

During lunch, Chen Shuting did not show any abnormality. She was still chatting and laughing with Ma Xiuzhen and Zhang Pandi, discussing which street to go shopping in the afternoon.

When this stinky woman took Tang Xin and her seven children out for shopping and did not return to Courtyard No. 7 until dark, Ma Xiuzhen and the others looked around and found the letter left on the kang in the east wing.

Tang Xin and the others didn't even take their luggage and flew back to Hong Kong Island directly.

As a result, when Zhang Heping rushed back to the capital on New Year's Eve on February 2th, he missed the reunion dinner...
