Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Sister Luo, her daughter and Qin Huairu returned to the neighborhood office and immediately started handling the house transfer procedures.

Just as the procedure reached the final step, a loud shout came from outside.

"Wait, this procedure cannot be done!"

Liu Haizhong pushed open the office door and barged in, panting and shouting, "The Jia family's house is not ownerless. It is the property of our courtyard house. You can't sell it."

The staff member who was handling the formalities stopped stamping when he saw Liu Haizhong's ferocious look.

The house transaction had come to the last step, and seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, Sister Luo hurriedly pulled the arm of the street office clerk and shook him.

“Comrade, don’t listen to him, stamp it quickly.

I have already signed, how can I just say I don’t want to sell it?”

Not to mention the past hatred between the two, Sister Luo had finally found a suitable house, so how could she give up easily?

"You can't sell it. You absolutely can't sell it. All the neighbors in our yard don't agree with this!"

Liu Haizhong stepped forward and roughly snatched the documents on the table and tore them into pieces, thus thwarting Sister Luo's plan in an extreme way.

Seeing the documents being destroyed, Sister Luo became furious and started fighting with Liu Haizhong in the office.

The two of them made so much noise that Cheng Hao, who was working on the third floor, came down to check.

"Stop it all."

Cheng Hao gave a stern warning, but the two men who were wrestling with each other showed no intention of letting go.

As a last resort, Cheng Hao could only ask someone to go up and forcibly pull the two apart.

"What exactly is going on?"

Cheng Hao did not look at the embarrassed person involved, but looked at the street office staff present.

Without waiting for the clerk to reply, Liu Haizhong started shouting first.

"Your subdistrict office is corrupt and colluding with each other to embezzle the people's property. I will report you to my superiors!"

"If you don't shut up, I'll send you straight to the police station."

Cheng Hao spoke coldly and mercilessly.

He dared to act wildly in the street office. It seems that the lesson given to Liu Haizhong is not enough. He needs to be hit harder a few more times.

When he heard the word "police station", Liu Haizhong had to shut his mouth and glared at Cheng Hao and his group angrily.

The office fell silent, and the street office official who witnessed the entire process narrated what had happened one by one.

Cheng Hao nodded slightly, pointed at the torn documents on the ground and said calmly: "Draft a new document immediately and help her finish the job."

Cheng Hao and Deputy Director Luo had already discussed the matter of the Jia family's house.

According to the policy, there is no problem for Sister Luo to buy it with her own money.

"Thank you, Director Cheng. You are truly a great judge who stands up for the people..."

Hearing this, Sister Luo, who had a wound on her face, breathed a sigh of relief and kept praising Cheng Hao.

On the other side, the unconvinced Liu Haizhong struggled desperately and said angrily: "It's not fair, Cheng Hao, how can you sell the property of the courtyard without permission? This is illegal!"

Cheng Hao was almost out of his temper. He raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Liu Haizhong, what do you know about the law? The subdistrict office is exercising its power by following formal procedures to confiscate uninhabited properties and sell them.

Even if the matter is reported to the higher authorities, the street office will still be right.

However, you broke into the street office, obstructed the work, and beat people, which is illegal.

I will just report to the police station, and you will have to reflect on your actions for a few days."

Liu Haizhong is an illiterate person who can barely read or write. How dare he talk about the law in front of Cheng Hao? It is simply like showing off one's knowledge in front of an expert. It is ridiculous.

“Even if it’s legal, the house is in our yard, why didn’t you tell us?

Instead, he sold it directly to Sister Luo. This is clearly... clearly..."

At the critical moment, Liu Haizhong forgot the lyrics again.

"It's clearly using public power for personal gain, right?"

Cheng Hao reminded him, and Liu Haizhong finally reacted and said angrily: "It's using public power for personal gain, using public power for personal gain!"

"You are wrong again, our subdistrict office is not abusing public power for personal gain.

All the residents in the courtyard have houses, but Sister Luo has no house to live in after her divorce. Of course, we should give priority to solving her problem.

As for your little tricks, it's better not to bring them out and embarrass yourself."

Cheng Hao felt bored and waved his hand, saying, "Send him directly to the police station."

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the street office must accept the corresponding punishment.

Liu Haizhong is so energetic, so he should stay in the police station for one night to calm down and avoid doing anything stupid again.

……

Without any suspense, Sister Luo completed the formalities, paid the money, and successfully got the Jia family's house.

The next day, the mother and daughter hired someone to help clean the house, and they also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some second-hand furniture.

In just a few days, Sister Luo and her daughter officially moved into the courtyard and became the new residents of No. 95 Courtyard.

On the day of moving into the new house, Sister Luo and her daughter prepared a table of food and invited the two stewards (except Liu Haizhong) and Qin Huairu to come for dinner.

Qin Huairu didn't want to get into trouble, so she made an excuse to shirk it.

Although the remaining two uncles in charge didn't like Sister Luo and her daughter very much, they had to participate due to their status as uncles.

Sister Luo's house is not far from He Yuzhu's house. Through the window, you can vaguely see people toasting each other in the other's house.

He Yushui, who was lying by the window, sighed softly and said with some regret: "Sister-in-law, didn't the new neighbor invite you to dinner? Why don't you come over?"

He Yushui had the mind of a child, and all he could think about was the food at the banquet.

Before Qin Huairu could say anything, He Yuzhu raised his hand and slapped his sister on the head.

“You only know how to eat, is other people’s food so delicious?

It's stupid to get yourself into big trouble by trying to gain little advantage.

I’m telling you, stay away from new neighbors next time and don’t get too close to them.”

He Yuzhu knew all the good things Sister Luo had done, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that his wife's approach was correct.

Live your life well behind closed doors and don't get involved in all that messy stuff.

"Hey, I'm just saying it."

He Yushui rubbed his little head and complained in pain.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this.

I'll ask your brother to make you something delicious on the weekend."

Qin Huairu smiled and comforted.

He Yuzhu and his wife both have jobs and their family is well-off, so it is not easy for them to make some delicious food on weekdays.

I was just afraid that Yu Shui's appetite would be spoiled and it would be difficult for him to adapt to junior high school, so I restrained myself a little.

"Really?"

When she heard about the delicious food, He Yushui's eyes lit up.

He Yuzhu looked at his sister and smiled helplessly: "You only know how to eat. If you get too fat, you won't be pretty. Be careful that no one will want you when you grow up."

"I won't get fat."

He Yushui pouted, squinted her eyes, and spoke in a low voice.

He Yuzhu's family is full of joy, but the scene is quite different at Liu Haizhong's home in the backyard.

Liu Haizhong, who did not receive an invitation, became furious. He grabbed his two sons and beat them hard to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Damn it, damn it, what right did those two bitches have to rob the house in the yard, what right!

And Cheng Hao sold the house in the courtyard without thinking of me at all. How despicable!"
