The five members of the Zhou family walked towards the last two houses in Guangzi Pian. Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua found that the road became increasingly difficult to walk.
The surrounding area is filled with all kinds of garbage, including domestic garbage and construction waste. Not only is it messy, but it also emits a variety of stench.
"Mom, let's not go there, it's too dirty." Zhou Rong was a bit of a germaphobe and almost vomited just by smelling the smell.
"Why is the environment here so dirty and no one cares about it?" Zhou Zhigang asked.
Zhou Bingyi explained: “It’s not that no one cares about it, it’s that no one pays the garbage fee, so no one comes to collect the garbage.”
Li Suhua asked in confusion: "Isn't it aggrieved for Chunyan to live alone?"
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "She doesn't live here herself."
Li Suhua was surprised and said: "Ah, didn't you say that Chunyan lives there?"
Wang Gang sneered and said: "Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao live outside by themselves, and let Aunt Qiao live here alone. They say that the old people live inside and are not afraid of demolition teams."
Li Suhua was immediately dissatisfied upon hearing this, and even Zhou Zhigang had opinions.
Since Qiao Chunyan and Feng Huacheng jointly framed Feng Yue a few years ago, the Zhou family and the Qiao family have completely fallen out, and Qiao Chunyan has also been there for several months.
After hearing the news, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao went to make trouble with Li Suhua, but were kicked out of the house by Zheng Juan and Zhou Rong. Wang Gang was away on business at that time and was not in the capital.
Since then, the two families have had no contact with each other.
When they returned to Jichun this time, Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang didn't want to go to Aunt Qiao to reminisce about old times.
"This time Qiao Chunyan opened her mouth, I'm afraid she also wanted to take revenge on our family." Wang Gang explained to Li Suhua.
"Why is she taking revenge on us?" Zhou Rong said unconvinced: "It was Qiao Chunyan and Feng Huacheng who colluded to deceive Feng Yue and I into going to France. How dare she attack us?"
Wang Gang sighed: "There are many selfish people who only have themselves in mind and think that the whole world owes them."
Since the Zhou family became prosperous, many people who knew the Zhou family wanted to come here to get benefits. Many old neighbors even traveled thousands of miles to the capital to find Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, obviously asking for benefits. They either wanted to borrow money or wanted to
Introduction to work.
Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were unwilling to help, so those people criticized them, saying that they would no longer recognize their old friends after the Zhou family became prosperous.
The old couple was still sad for a while.
"Let's go and see Aunt Qiao first." After all, Li Suhua still cared about the past friendship and wanted to see if Aunt Qiao was doing well.
The five people came to a dilapidated house, which was not Aunt Qiao's previous home.
When Aunt Qiao sold the house and subsidized Qiao Chunyan, her other two daughters were dissatisfied, and the family parted ways from then on.
The house where Aunt Qiao lives now is an adobe house that Qiao Chunyan bought specially when she heard that Guangzi Film was to be demolished.
Li Suhua took a closer look and found that the adobe house had long been dilapidated and was only one step away from collapse. It was patched everywhere and the roof was made of sheds.
"How can we live in this kind of house? It's not as good as our previous house!" Li Suhua sighed.
At this time, the door happened to open, and an old lady, carrying a swill bucket, walked out shakily. It was not Aunt Qiao.
"Mother Chunyan?" Li Suhua almost didn't dare to recognize Aunt Qiao when she saw her.
After not seeing each other for many years, Aunt Qiao has become older and older, her face is covered with wrinkles, and all the white hair on her head has almost fallen out. Her figure, which was originally a bit bloated, is now as skinny as a stick.
Aunt Qiao couldn't help but raise her head when she heard the noise. When she saw Li Suhua, she didn't dare to recognize him.
"Are you Suhua?!"
Li Suhua and Aunt Qiao are about the same age, but their different circumstances in their later years make them look like people from two different eras.
"Mother Chunyan, why are you like this?" Li Suhua couldn't control her tears and stepped forward to hold her old sister's hand.
Aunt Qiao shrank her hands in embarrassment.
"No, my hands are dirty, don't dirty your beautiful clothes."
Li Suhua ignored that, snatched the swill bucket from Aunt Qiao's hand, and handed it to Zhou Bingyi.
Zhou Bingyi didn't mind it either and helped Aunt Qiao pour the swill.
When Aunt Qiao saw the five members of the Zhou family coming together, she thought they were here to discuss the conditions for demolition.
"Have you agreed to Chunyan's conditions?" Aunt Qiao looked at Wang Gang and asked.
Wang Gang sneered and said: "Aunt Qiao, you tell yourself, how can I agree to Chunyan's conditions? Let me tell you the truth! The designer and I have already agreed not to demolish your home and have re-planned the renovation blueprint."
Aunt Qiao was shocked when she heard this and cried: "No! If you don't demolish it, I can't continue to live here."
Li Suhua heard this and said angrily: "Why did Chunyan let you live here? Where are they?"
Aunt Qiao cried: "They won't let me move to a new home, saying that I can keep the house by living here."
Zhou Zhigang said angrily: "You sold your old house and bought a new house for Qiao Chunyan. Why wouldn't you be allowed to live in it? Do any of your children do this?"
Aunt Qiao cried and said: "What should I do? When I sold the house, the eldest and the second did not agree. I was also obsessed with it. Now the eldest daughter and the second daughter don't care about me at all. I can only count on Chunyan."
Zhou Zhigang said angrily: "Call Chunyan over to me."
Aunt Qiao pulled Zhou Zhigang and said, "Old Zhou, just be good and agree to Chunyan's conditions! She said that as soon as this house is demolished, she will take me home."
Zhou Zhigang wondered: "If it's other things, I can help, but I can't take care of the house! Besides, Chunyan's conditions are completely blackmail."
Aunt Qiao was crying and unable to say a word.
Li Suhua couldn't bear it and looked at her youngest son.
Wang Gang said helplessly: "Mom, the designer has re-planned it and the project has started. If we really can't demolish this place, I will arrange for Aunt Qiao to go to a nursing home."
Aunt Qiao was frightened when she heard about the nursing home.
"No, I won't go to a nursing home. I heard people say that no one who went to a nursing home came out alive."
Li Suhua comforted Aunt Qiao and said, "Don't be afraid. Jichun Nursing Home is opened by my daughter-in-law Zheng Juan. It is a regular nursing home."
Aunt Qiao didn't listen to Li Suhua at all, and hurriedly hid in the house, closing the door and never opening it again.
"Suhua, if you really want to help me, just take over my house!"
Li Suhua looked embarrassed, and Zhou Rong advised: "Mom, this is moral kidnapping, please don't worry about it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Zhigang sighed and said: "Suhua, we can't control this matter."
Li Suhua nodded, knowing in her heart that as long as she spoke to her youngest son, with her son's filial piety, she would definitely agree to Qiao Chunyan's request.
But she couldn't open the door. Once she opened the door, it would bring endless trouble to her son. Those who had agreed to the terms of demolition would definitely come to make trouble, which would make it even harder for her son.
The neighbor next door to Aunt Qiao's house seemed to hear some noise, and Yu Hong ran out. When she saw the five members of the Zhou family, she suddenly became excited and ran over in a hurry.
"Bingkun, Bingkun, I am Yu Hong!"
Yu Hong wanted to come over and get close, but was stopped by Zhou Rong.
"I don't need to pay for my house anymore. Just give me a house in the original location, no less than 100 square meters." Yu Hong shouted.
Wang Gang said coldly: "Your little shabby house is only about ten square meters, and you want to change it to a house of one hundred square meters. What are you dreaming about!"
"Bingkun, I know that a high-end community is planned here. How will you sell your house if my little shabby house is erected here?" Yu Hong said confidently.
Wang Gang sneered and said: "You just like this, so that's why you have been reluctant to move!"
Yu Hong said proudly: "Yes, I don't believe you really won't dismantle it."
"Then you can continue not to believe it!" Wang Gang said with a smile: "You can wait until my house is built before you see it."
Yu Hong's expression changed, her eyes rolled, and she said, "It's okay if you don't want the house at the original location. I want at least two resettlement houses."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "You don't know! Jichun has issued new regulations. All houses that meet the dilapidated house standards will be forced to be demolished, and the city will compensate them at the original price."
Yu Hong was stunned and looked at Zhou Bingyi.
Zhou Bingyi nodded and said: "Bingkun is right. This regulation was just issued a few days ago. Yu Hong, go home and wait for the news! Someone will come to talk to you."
When Yu Hong heard that, it was okay. Her shabby house was not worth anything. Compensation based on the market price was not enough for her to buy the house in the first place.
"You two brothers colluded with government officials and businessmen. I'm going to sue you." Yu Hong said angrily.
Wang Gang smiled and said, "Then go ahead! Anyway, my eldest brother didn't come up with this rule, so it's useless for you to complain."
Yu Hong cursed and left without returning home. She went directly to appeal.
Li Suhua said worriedly: "Bingyi, will you be okay?"
Zhou Bingyi said calmly: "I am upright and not afraid of slanting shadows."
Zhou Zhigang nodded and said: "My old Zhou family is not afraid of investigation."
"Mom, don't worry. This Yu Hong actually has some personal issues with me. When she and Qian Chao embezzled public funds and I found out that she was fired, she has been holding a grudge."
Li Suhua lamented: "What's wrong with people nowadays? Everyone does something wrong themselves and blames others instead."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "In the final analysis, I just don't look down on the good things of others. I think that other people's money comes from strong winds, and I am unwilling to put in the effort. I try to make money in crooked ways all day long."
