The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Well, now that house is yours!"

After the aunt took the document, she worked on it quickly, took out her seal and stamped it on the property certificate, then handed Li Wenqiang a property certificate.

He also had another identical property certificate, for a courtyard house with two entrances behind Yuan’en Temple in Nanluoguxiang. Li Huaide had already changed the property rights information to his on the third day of the transaction.

As for the compound at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, such a slum has no real estate certificate at all. It was all sold privately in the past, with just a piece of contract, or no contract at all, and there is no guarantee at all.

Today's courtyard houses belong to the collective property of work units or neighborhood committees, and slum houses are allocated to residents by work units or neighborhood committees for use. No individual owns an independent property certificate.

Housing privatization and property rights reform have not yet been carried out. Apart from the previous owners of the houses, like Niu Ye and Xu Huizhen, who own their own independent courtyard houses through inheritance, who else can produce the property certificate?

He guessed that the property certificate of the courtyard house where he lived was in the hands of the deaf old lady, otherwise why would Yi Zhonghai be so filial to her.

As for why she didn't dare to take it out, it was probably because of her background. I don't know how Yi Zhonghai helped her to get the identity of a five-guarantee household. With this identity, she dared to take out the property certificate, which immediately became a crime of deceiving the government. She had to be sent to the police station to explain the problem clearly.

"I'll give you a week to move out. Move out as soon as possible. Is that a problem?"

After leaving the Real Estate Bureau, Li Wenqiang said to Old Man Wu expressionlessly that he believed a week would be enough.

"No problem, I'll definitely leave in four or five days at most!"

How could Old Man Wu dare to refuse? Fortunately, Li Wenqiang kept his promise and gave him the grain directly. Nowadays, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy grain. The grain on the black market is also mixed with grain and bran. He saw that the rice Li Wenqiang gave him was all the best, so of course he had no objection.

"I don't care how many days it takes you. Remember, I'll give you a week at most. I don't want you and that Jia Zhang to still be in there."

Li Wenqiang left after he finished speaking. Although the process was a bit bumpy, the result was right. When he thought about having such a big house in his hands, Li Wenqiang had an urge to rebuild and renovate it.

But when I thought about the years ahead, I calmed down. Maybe I could fix the roof and use the back as a warehouse.

The courtyard house near Yuan'en Temple can be renovated, and we can live there when the time comes. We can cook some meat and eat there when the time comes.

Old Man Wu looked at Li Wenqiang's departing back, feeling very lonely.

"Damn it, you didn't even give me a ride at my age, and you even made me walk back home, you bastard!"

Old man Wu cursed softly, then slowly walked towards his home.

This house can only be used for a few days. If he is still here in a week, I believe Li Wenqiang will throw him out without hesitation.

After returning home, Wu Yong started to tidy up his room without saying a word and wrapped his things with a piece of cloth.

"What are you doing? Why are you packing your things?"

Jia Zhang had just sent Banggeng out, and she was afraid that Old Man Wu would go crazy and hit someone, hurting Banggeng.

"You should clean up the place too. I just sold this yard. We'll find a new place to live later!"

Old man Wu threw the things on the bed and said to Jia Zhang.

"What? Sold it? Mr. Wu, are you crazy? If you sell the house, where will I live?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately exploded and asked angrily.

"Where will we get rice to eat if we don't sell it? Do you want to starve to death? Or do you want to eat wheat bran and meal substitute powder?"

Old Man Wu gave her a blank look.

"Then you can't sell the whole yard!"

Although Jia Zhang understood this logic, she wondered how she would face her grandson in the future if she sold the place.

"It's none of your business if I sell the house. A lazy woman is quite lenient. Get ready. I'll take you back to the countryside. Let's find a piece of land in the countryside and grow some crops. Wouldn't it be happier than here?"

Hearing this, Jia Zhang's eyes lit up. If that was the case, it seemed possible. But when she thought of Bang Geng, she hesitated again. If she couldn't see Bang Geng, what would it matter if she went to the countryside and became a rich man?

"Can you bring the stick terrier with you?"

Jia Zhang asked carefully.

"Yes, of course! Later you can invite our grandson to come, and we can live together as a family."

Old man Wu didn't expect that Jia Zhang would actually ask for it on her own initiative. He had been thinking about whether he should find a reason himself, but now it seems that there is no need.

"Okay, do you have somewhere to go? When are we leaving?"

Jia Zhang asked excitedly.

"Of course. We'll go to Baoding together in a few days. You pack up first and I'll deal with these things. That bastard is really evil. He sold them to me at the black market price of three yuan per pound. I have to sell some quickly, otherwise we won't be able to take them away."

After saying this, Old Man Wu prepared to go out to find someone. He had been out there for so many years and knew a lot of people from all walks of life. It was easy for him to handle several hundred kilograms of in-demand rice.

Banggeng didn't know that he had been targeted by Jia Zhang and Old Man Wu, and was walking home happily.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife were currently preparing food with Sha Zhu and He Yushui. Today was Friday and the school was starting to get on holiday, so she naturally had to come back, otherwise there would be nothing to eat in school.

"Brother, why hasn't your leg healed after all this time? Last time your godmother went away and didn't come back all night, I was so worried."

Yu Shui looked at Sha Zhu curiously. She was asking about the last time Sha Zhu was caught by the security department for bringing a lunch box.

"Why are you talking about something else? Girls, stop meddling in other people's business. Hurry up and get to work. Everyone should be back soon. Have you finished steaming the rice?"

Sha Zhu was a little annoyed and angry when asked this question. He had never suffered such a big loss in his life. When his injury healed, he would definitely give Li Wenqiang a good beating.

"It's already been steamed. With an old lady here, it's not my turn to do this job. It's already been done by my godmother, right?"

Yu Shui wrinkled his nose at the angry Sha Zhu and smiled at the aunt.

"Why should Yu Shui do this kind of work? My daughter will be a college student in the future, there is no need for her to do this kind of thing! Yu Shui, just sit aside, I will do these things!"

The auntie's face was wrinkled with smiles when she was called godmother, and the uncle also smiled continuously. Since the recognition of their relationship, the complexion of both of them has improved, and the gloomy look of the past has long gone.

"Godmother, please don't spoil her. This girl has been wild since she was young. If you don't let her do more work, she will not know how to do anything when she gets married. That would make people laugh!"

Sha Zhu looked at the aunt protecting his sister and said with a smile.

Just when they were talking happily, Liu Lihua, who had rested for a day, came out carrying a bucket of water.
