Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Everyone looked at Zeng Youqian, wanting to see what he would say, but Zeng Youqian looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, as if he didn't hear anything.

Yan Bugui's punch hit cotton, and it was even more useless to try to insinuate the Zeng family afterwards.

So Yan Bugui stepped back awkwardly, leaving the stage to Yi Zhonghai: "Let's let the old man have a say."

"Let me say a few words." Yi Zhonghai walked to the front desk with his enamel pot, "Old Zeng, how are you going to renovate your house?"

"Are you talking about me?" Zeng Youqian seemed to wake up at this time, took out a filter cigarette, and lit one for himself without passing it to others, "I thought you were talking about the situation in the yard, our house has not been built yet, but your family has expanded the area by half, and you almost want to occupy the aisle.

"I remember that before I returned to my hometown, the courtyard was fine. But in just half a year, a good courtyard house turned into a slum."

The owners of those houses who had built houses remained silent and pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if they were not the ones Zeng Youqian was talking about.

People are selfish, they built it for themselves and enjoyed the convenience of wider accommodation, but they also wanted to enjoy the convenience of spacious public areas outside.

However, they were too embarrassed to talk about this matter, so they could only hope that Yi Zhonghai and others, who had no one to build a house, would help them.

"Lao Zeng, I didn't mention them." Yi Zhonghai said biasedly, "Theirs are in the past, they have already been built, it's a historical issue, now let's talk about your family." After mentioning this, Yi Zhonghai stepped onto the moral high ground, "Lao Zeng, you have been in the hospital for a long time, and you know everyone inside and out. Those families that have expanded their homes all have several people. Your family is different. Your family's Wangcai can make money, so there is really no need to expand."

"That's right, what the uncle said is right, your family is different from ours."

"Your family is rich and has a small population."

"Look at our family. There are eight of us. The eldest child has no place to live even after getting married, and the second child is already in his thirties and still needs to live in a separate house."

"We have quite a large family, seven of us."

"There are six of us in our family."

"us......"

The vested interests began to echo Yi Zhonghai and started to play the victim.

According to their logic, they are suffering, so they should build the house, while the Zeng family is rich, so if they build the house, it would be unscrupulous.

"So according to what you said, our family can only live in a shabby house?" Zeng Youqian was not angry. He had long been accustomed to it and saw through the faces of these people. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, sucked the cigarette butt and said, "We have a large family. Our eldest son got married and had a child, so we have three more people in the family. Together with the original ones, there are nine people in the family. There is no one in the courtyard with more people than us, right?"

In terms of population, no one else can compare with the Zeng family.

Seeing that his neighbors were silent, Yi Zhonghai said with gritted teeth: "Don't you still have three rooms? You are the most spacious family in the whole compound. There is really no need to expand to six rooms."

"Haha, OK, Lao Yi, Lao Yi, you are worthy of being you." Zeng Youqian smiled, "We will discuss this matter later. Our Wangcai has gone to the street office to hire someone."

"No, Lao Zeng, that's not fair!" Yan Bugui was anxious, fearing that Zeng Wangcai would ask the street office to demolish the temporary buildings, so he immediately interrupted and said, "Why should we trouble the street office with our courtyard's affairs? If we really demolish all the houses, will you be happy?"

"I didn't say I wanted to demolish it, and I don't have the right to do so." Zeng Youqian threw away his cigarette butt and said impatiently, "Every day, trivial matters are worth holding a meeting. Don't talk to me anymore. Do whatever you want. You can't do anything to us. We just need the street committee to agree. If the street committee says no, we won't move a single brick."

Zeng Youqian is different from Zeng Wangcai. He is annoyed by seeing neighbors fighting against each other over trivial matters.

Zeng Wangcai has been engaged in high-end struggles in recent years. Once he comes back and enters this kind of situation, he feels comfortable and at ease. No matter how he plays this situation, at least there is no danger to his life.

Just at this time, Zeng Wangcai came back with a large army.

In addition to Director Zhang and two clerks from the street office, Zeng Wangcai was accompanied by the trio of Old Wu, Old Qi, and Cao Datong, Lei Daqiang and others.

"Director Zhang..." Yi Zhonghai saw Director Zhang coming and quickly got up to answer the phone.

Yi Zhonghai still understood that the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager.

"We are in a meeting. I just happen to have something great to announce." Director Zhang was in high spirits. He walked to the small square table in a hurry, replaced Yi Zhonghai's seat, and got straight to the point. "Congratulations, everyone. Our No. 95 courtyard has been listed as a pilot project for maintenance and renovation by the district, and it has also been listed as a model project for the city's appearance. Everyone applaud and congratulate."

clap clap!

Snapped!

clap clap clap...

The applause was sparse, not because people didn't understand what Director Zhang said. On the contrary, they applauded because they understood.

Maintenance and renovation, urban appearance?

This must have been something Zeng Wangcai came up with. We didn't allow them to expand, so he came to the street office.

With every household building such temporary structures, there is no point in talking about the city’s appearance. The next step will definitely be to demolish the temporary structures.

Zeng Wangcai is indeed ruthless and has strong connections. He doesn't waste time talking to you and directly alarmed the district and obtained this crappy policy.

So cruel......

While everyone was applauding, they were all looking at Yi Zhonghai, hoping that he could turn the tide.

Yi Zhonghai was looking at Sha Zhu, because Sha Zhu was talking and laughing with Zeng Wangcai, and there was also Xu Damao next to them.

The combination of these three people is very explosive for Yi Zhonghai.

Because Sha Zhu and Xu Damao got along well for a while after returning from Jiang Island many years ago, but later the Qin sisters broke up again and the two haven't spoken to each other for several years.

Now that Zeng Wangcai has arrived, the two of them stick to him like a dog-skin plaster.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but think of what the dead ghost Liu Haizhong said. The dead ghost Liu Haizhong said that when Zeng Wangcai comes back, Sha Zhu will definitely go with Zeng Wangcai.

Back then, when Sha Zhu went to Jiangdao and came back, Yi Zhonghai had to go to great lengths to brainwash him.

Now it’s all in vain?

"Director Zhang..." Yi Zhonghai said amid sparse applause, "We understand the maintenance and renovation, as well as the city appearance, but shouldn't the district also consider the situation?

"Look at our courtyard. We spent a lot of money and effort to build it like this. Our homes are spacious now, but you tore it down all of a sudden... Besides, didn't you say before that you didn't have the funds for repairs? Now you have it now?"

"That's right, Director Zhang. The district has to consider us."

"How can we, a family of several people, live in two rooms?"

"That's right. No matter how we live or die, I won't demolish it anyway, no matter what anyone says."

It will be easy if someone steps forward!

"What are you arguing about? Are you rebelling?" Director Zhang shouted, "What's wrong with you? Did I tell you to tear it down?"

"Ah? You won't let us demolish it. It was just a false alarm. Director Zhang won't tolerate such a thing..."

“Let them tear it down.”

"..."
