Chapter 2244
Move the chapter?
After driving the two away, Xu Damao called He Yuzhu and told him what had happened.
He Yuzhu was not surprised by this: "Yi Zhonghai would never sell the house."
You didn't fall for it, did you?
Even over the phone, you could hear Xu Damao's dissatisfaction: "You underestimate me."
My time is so precious, I have no interest in getting involved with them.
Are you selling your house?
If I need to sell the house, I'll contact He Guoqiang.
"Sell." He Yuzhu said without hesitation.
Xu Damao said, "Okay. I've already spoken with He Guoqiang, and the house will go through him for a while."
"When you want it, he can sell it to you at the original price."
He Yuzhu said directly, "I said no, and that means no."
If you like it, you can buy it. After the demolition, there aren't many courtyard houses like that left.
When Xu Damao saw that He Yuzhu didn't want it, he didn't stand on ceremony.
"I'll see how it goes. To be honest, that courtyard house is really bad luck."
By the way, He Guoqiang would like to invite you to dinner. When are you free?
He Yuzhu hasn't been very free these past two days, so we scheduled another time.
When the Liu brothers returned to the courtyard house, they were blocked by the people inside.
"So? How much is Sha Zhu planning to offer?" the impatient people began to ask.
Liu Guangfu shook his head: "What money are we going to pay? Brother Zhu isn't buying it at all."
He's going to sell the house in the yard too?
"Sold?"
The people in the courtyard gasped in surprise, and Yi Zhonghai stood up in anger.
She almost fainted because she lost her balance.
Fortunately, someone was nearby and caught him in time.
"Is Sha Zhu really going to sell the house?"
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu nodded, indicating that it was true.
Those present all showed their dissatisfaction.
Even though He Yuzhu doesn't come back to live here, the price of the courtyard house is higher than that of other houses because of He Yuzhu's name.
Now that He Yuzhu has sold the house, its price will definitely drop significantly.
It concerns the interests of every single one of them; no wonder they're unhappy.
Only Zhang Yuping remained expressionless. He already knew that Xu Damao was going to sell the house.
Yi Zhonghai recovered: "Who gave him permission to sell the house? If the people in the compound don't agree, he can forget about selling it."
When the others saw that Yi Zhonghai had taken the lead, they all shouted it out as well.
After being misled by Yi Zhonghai, these people had high expectations for the price of the houses.
The gap between expectations and reality is too large.
If no one takes the lead, they might accept the difference in status; but if someone does, they'll definitely join in the commotion.
Past experience has taught them that making a fuss won't cause them any harm.
Even if He Yuzhu harbors resentment, it's only towards those three old men.
But if it succeeds, then they'll make a fortune.
How could they possibly miss out on such a sure-fire way to make money?
Seeing that the morale of the troops was high, Yi Zhonghai felt much more confident.
"Since everyone agrees, then it's settled."
I hope everyone can move back. Let's work together to protect everyone's interests.
"If anyone doesn't come back, don't blame us three old men for ignoring them."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Moving back is a very difficult request.
Everyone understood that moving back meant accepting the leadership of the three old men, just like before.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu exchanged a glance, and then Guangfu spoke first: "Uncle, Guangfu and I will move back tomorrow."
Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied to see their support: "Good. Guangtian and Guangfu are good. Is there anything else you want to move back?"
Despite these two taking the lead, not many people immediately agreed.
Although they didn't agree, in order to appease Yi Zhonghai, they all said they needed to go home and discuss it with their families.
In the past, Yi Zhonghai would have lost his temper long ago. But not now; he can only continue to persuade him.
"I've said what I needed to say. I hope you'll think it over carefully."
There's no such thing as getting something for nothing without putting in any effort. If we can't protect our homes, we'll all suffer in the end.
Those who are unwilling to put in the effort are the real culprits.
A single sentence triggered mutual distrust among the group.
Everyone is afraid of being harmed because of others.
Seeing that things had gone far enough, Yi Zhonghai stopped making any further moves.
Once someone moved in, he gained supporters.
Only then will he take action against those who are unwilling to move back.
The group left the courtyard in twos and threes.
Geng Guangjian stopped the Liu brothers: "Are you really planning to move back?"
"Yes, that's right." The two brothers didn't hide anything.
"Aren't you afraid that it will be easy for you to move in, but you won't be able to move out later?" Ma Ruijun asked.
This is a problem that everyone is worried about.
The reason everyone moved out was because Yi Zhonghai and his associates were facing numerous personal troubles.
It's different now.
Yi Zhonghai and the others certainly wouldn't let them move out easily.
Everyone is getting older and naturally wants to live with their children; they can't live in a courtyard house forever.
They can't really follow in Yi Zhonghai's footsteps, following Qin Huairu and letting Qin Huairu take care of someone's old age.
This life is different from Sha Zhu's previous one.
Sha Zhu raised three old men at a young age.
Sha Zhu would rather borrow money than let the three old men go hungry, so that they could have meat, fruit, and snacks with every meal.
Those days were better than most people's.
With this incentive, people naturally don't want to move out.
Not only are they unwilling to move out, but they also all want to take advantage of the situation.
In this lifetime, I won't have such good conditions.
The three old men weren't living a very good life.
Everyone was afraid that the three people would dig a hole and bury them.
Liu Guangtian laughed and said, "It's just the two of us brothers moving in. Our wives and kids won't be moving in."
The others' eyes lit up immediately. If they moved in by themselves, it would indeed avoid the problem of moving out so easily.
Geng Guangjian then gathered a few close friends and found a place to sit down.
What does everyone think?
Ma Ruijun said, "What else can we think? Everyone wants to sell the house for more money and then buy a bigger house to live in."
Seeing that no one objected, Geng Guangjian said, "So, does that mean everyone has to move back?"
"I plan to bring my bedding over tomorrow and stay in the yard for a few days."
"I think so too."
Geng Guangjian said, "If one person moves back, there will definitely be fewer problems."
But I want to remind everyone, don't forget that these three old men are no pushovers.
We need to be careful not to get scammed by them.
“That’s right, we can’t be like before, listening to everything they say.”
"If they bring up the topic of retirement, everyone will give in."
Both my second and third uncles have sons, and if their sons are unfilial, that's none of our business.
The group discussed it animatedly and eventually reached a consensus.
They came back for the house, and they won't concern themselves with anything else in the courtyard house.
What concerns them most is the issue of elderly care.
The Jia family, on which Yi Zhonghai was relying, was too busy taking care of itself; and the children of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were all unfilial.
As everyone guessed, Yi Zhonghai's encouragement for them to move back was not well-intentioned.
This is also why they hesitated.
Zhang Yuping sat to the side, listening to their discussion, but didn't take it seriously at all.
Others may not know, but he knows very well. The plan they discussed was completely useless.
After everyone had finished speaking, Zhang Yuping finally said, "We can't all listen to Uncle Yi and the others. We must be prepared for both possibilities."
If you find a suitable one, you should sell the house as soon as possible. (End of Chapter)
