Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Who should I turn to when I have problems? Of course, I should turn to the street office.

The homeless Luo and her daughter came to Xining Subdistrict Office again to seek help.

After all, my own younger brother has been a cadre in the street office for a long time. Even if he is transferred, he will leave behind a sense of kinship.

While Deputy Director Luo's influence has not completely dissipated, Sister Luo must quickly settle the housing issue.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome to ask others for help in the future.

"Sister Luo, what's the matter?"

When Cheng Hao saw Sister Luo coming to his house, he thought that Deputy Director Luo had been exposed.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not mention Deputy Director Luo at all. Instead, he said embarrassedly: "The director should be very clear about my divorce. Now my mother and I have been kicked out of the house and have no place to live.

I would like to ask the director to help me for my brother's sake and find a vacant house where we can settle down."

Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Housing in the city has always been tight. It's not easy to find a house now."

Not to mention that Deputy Director Luo doesn't care about the matter, even if he came forward, the street office would not be able to arrange accommodation for Sister Luo for free.

"I understand. I just want to ask the director if there are any suitable houses for sale.

My mother and I want to spend money to buy a house."

House prices in Beijing continue to rise, and it is more cost-effective to buy a house than to rent one.

Moreover, by buying the house in full and solving the housing problem, Sister Luo can focus all her attention on finding a job and making a living.

"No problem, I'll go ask."

Cheng Hao was still willing to help just to find out some information.

After all, he was only responsible for agreeing, and the specific matters were all taken care of by Deputy Director Luo.

Sister Luo is Deputy Director Luo’s biological sister. If he doesn’t worry about her, who will?

Since Cheng Hao was willing to help, Sister Luo was grateful and kept bowing to him with her daughter.

Having lost her brother's support and being kicked out by her husband, Sister Luo no longer had the capital to throw a tantrum and did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Cheng Hao.

You must know that now just one word from Cheng Hao is enough for them to bear.

……

We didn't have to wait too long, as the street office gave us the news two days later.

There happened to be a house at No. 95 Luoguxiang outside Xizhimen that had recently been owned by the public, and Sister Luo and her daughter were able to buy it at market price and live there.

After receiving the news, Sister Luo did not dare to delay and immediately went to check the house with Qin Huairu, a temporary worker from the street office.

Led by Qin Huairu, Sister Luo and her daughter came to the gate of the courtyard.

Looking at the majestic and thick courtyard wall, Sister Luo was in a very good mood and couldn't help but sigh: "This courtyard is really magnificent."

Qin Huairu, who was leading the way, smiled and introduced: "This quadrangle was originally the residence of a prince in the previous dynasty. It originally had four courtyards, but later the house collapsed and it was changed into a three-courtyard compound.

Most of the people living there are family members of the steel mill workers, and the neighbors are very welcoming.”

Qin Huairu has always completed her work in the street office conscientiously.

Moreover, she knew that Deputy Director Luo was still there, so she didn't dare to give Sister Luo a cold shoulder.

“That’s a good feeling.

Please take us inside to have a look."

Sister Luo has become much more polite and is no longer as domineering as before, relying on her younger brother.

When the three entered the yard, many neighbors cast puzzled glances at them when they saw outsiders.

Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard, came over as a routine matter to question people and show his presence as the manager.

"Qin Huairu, they are..."

"He is Yan Bugui, the manager of our courtyard.

This is Ms. Luo, this is Liu Fei, who was introduced by the street office to come and look at the house. "

Qin Huairu introduced them to each other.

The two sides greeted each other and knew each other.

Yan Bugui then came to his senses and asked in confusion, "Looking for a house? Is there anyone in our yard who wants to sell a house?"

Yan Bugui was very clear about the situation in the courtyard. Almost all the habitable rooms were full of people, and he had not heard of any residents moving out recently.

“It’s the Jia family’s house.

The Jia family's house had been vacant for more than half a year, and the street office determined that there were no heirs, so it was returned to the public.

Just got it ready for sale.”

Qin Huairu explained calmly.

"Hey, why didn't you tell us about this in advance?"

Yan Bugui immediately frowned and slapped his thigh in complaint.

"If the house is to be sold, it should be sold to the neighbors in the yard first.

How can it be the turn of outsiders?"

As the children grew up, the problem of housing shortage in the courtyard house became more and more obvious.

If there were any vacant houses in the yard, there would definitely be many people willing to buy them.

When they heard Yan Bugui's strange tone, Sister Luo and her daughter became nervous.

They had finally found a suitable house and they didn't want to go empty-handed.

"Uncle, I just found out about this today.

By the way, this Sister Luo has a younger brother who is the deputy director of the subdistrict office. "

In order to avoid trouble, Qin Huairu directly used Deputy Director Luo as a shield.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui was still angry, but he didn't say anything else. He just turned around and left.

At this time, Yan Bugui finally remembered that Sister Luo was the woman who had a fight with Liu Haizhong some time ago.

With a younger brother who is the deputy director, it’s no wonder that he was able to seize the opportunity and buy the Jia family’s house.

Yan Bugui was so angry that he could only curse in his heart: How great it is to have a relative who is an official!

"Oh, Qin Huairu, thank you so much."

After Yan Bugui left, Sister Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her brother's reputation is still there. If a fight breaks out, the two weak girls won't be able to deal with the man in charge of the courtyard.

"It's okay, it's all as it should be.

The house is in the middle courtyard, go in quickly."

Qin Huairu wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible as she still had a lot of things to do.

The three of them came to the central courtyard, and Qin Huairu used the key to open the door of the Jia family.

As soon as the door opened, a cloud of smoke mixed with the smell of decay poured out.

Qin Huairu quickly stepped aside, covered her nose, and fanned herself continuously.

No one has cleaned the house for half a year, so naturally it is a mess. Fortunately, the house is made of solid materials and there is no major problem with the foundation.

After a little cleaning, it would be fine for living.

"Sister Luo, this is the one, let's take a look."

Sister Luo pinched her nose, went in and took a look around, then nodded in agreement without much hesitation.

"Well, I'm satisfied. That's it."

Coming here to take a look was just a formality, and Sister Luo actually had no choice.

If I don't buy this house, where else can I find a house?

"Okay, if there's no problem, we'll go back to the street office to complete the formalities."

The news that the Jia family's house is vacant will soon spread throughout the courtyard, and any delay will only lead to more trouble.

Not everyone is as sensible as Yan Bugui. Hardliners like Liu Haizhong just won't buy into Deputy Director Luo's advice.

If something goes wrong accidentally, Qin Huairu will be in trouble.

"Well, let's go now."

Sister Luo agreed immediately. She was more worried than Qin Huairu.

Yan Bugui's words reminded Sister Luo that the neighbors in the yard were all coveting this house.

If you act any slower, you might be intercepted.

The three of them reached a consensus and rushed to the street office without stopping.

At the same time, Yan Bugui came to the backyard and found Liu Haizhong and told him what had just happened.

Liu Haizhong flew into a rage after hearing this, and he pounded on the wall and shouted, "How dare this bitch come to our yard? I will make her pay!"
