Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Oh!" Yan Bugui was speechless. He did not expect that so many things would happen for a house, but the house must be got. Once Liu Haizhong's family goes to the street office to ask for a house, the remaining one can no longer be hidden. Houses are so tight now that if you are not careful, someone will apply for it. By then, it will be too late to cry. He can't let all his plans go in vain. The money has been spent, the daughter-in-law has been decided, but the house is gone. That would be painful!

"Okay! Pack up tomorrow and come with me to get engaged! Go to the street office to apply for housing when you come back!" Yan Bugui had no choice but to agree to Yan Jiefang's request!

"No, I still have to go find Liu Haizhong. I can't let him go early!" Yan Bugui gave up the idea of ​​monopolizing the room and could only negotiate with Liu Haizhong, one room per family. Thinking of losing a room for nothing, Yan Bugui's heart bleeds!

At Liu Haizhong's home, Liu Haizhong had already finalized the matter with his in-laws and was discussing with Liu Guangqi about getting a marriage certificate.

"Old Liu, Old Liu," Yan Bugui called out at the door of Liu Haizhong's house.

"Old Yan, what brings you here today?" Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Bugui with surprise as he was smiling. This old guy would not do anything without a profit, so why did he come to my house?

Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly and said, "Old Liu, there is something I want to discuss with you!"

"What's the matter? Just tell me!" Liu Haizhong stood at the door, not thinking of letting Yan Bugui in. Yan Bugui looked around and whispered, "Old Liu, let's go in and talk!"

Liu Haizhong looked unhappy and stepped aside unhappily, letting Yan Bugui enter the room! "Uncle Yan!" Liu Guangqi stood up.

"Has Guangqi's marriage been decided?" Yan Bugui asked with a smile.

"It's almost there, Master Yan!"

"Old Yan, if you have something to say, just tell me quickly!" Liu Haizhong was impatient and unhappy. He didn't want to talk to him any more!

Yan Bugui laughed dryly and suppressed his dissatisfaction. "Old Liu, are you interested in the house in the front yard?"

"Yeah! What's the matter?" Liu Haizhong said nonchalantly.

"It's like this. I've been thinking about these two rooms for a long time. If I hadn't stopped the people who came to inquire about the house at the door, I wouldn't have kept this house until now!"

"What's the point of you saying all this? Are you trying to show off? Are you trying to tell me that I'll leave the house to you?" Liu Haizhong said dissatisfiedly, "Don't even think about it. Just because I live close to your house doesn't mean I have to come right next to you. That doesn't make sense!"

Seeing Liu Haizhong's aggressive look, Yan Bugui put away his dissatisfaction and explained in a low voice, "Old Liu, don't worry, didn't I come here to discuss it with you? Look, our Yan Jiecheng has also found a match. I want to arrange the marriage tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and then go to the street office to rent a house for my child to get married!"

"Such a small house as a wedding house?" Liu Guangqi said in surprise. There would not be much space to put a double bed in the back room, and it would be cold in winter and stuffy in summer!

Liu Haizhong glanced at Liu Guangqi and said, "If you want to rent it, just rent it. Why are you looking for me?"

Yan Bugui didn't care about the coldness in his bangs. "Lao Liu, I can't go to get engaged until tomorrow. I want to ask when your family will go to the street office. Can we go together?"

"Our family will be there tomorrow! Does your family want to join us?"

Chapter 280: The plot is full of twists and turns, and there are plots hidden everywhere!

Facing Liu Haizhong's dominance, Yan Bugui felt an uncontrollable sense of grievance in his heart, but he still begged, "Old Liu, we have been neighbors for many years. Can we wait for two more days and go together?"

"No, I don't have that much time. The steel mill is very busy!" Liu Haizhong refused outright!

Yan Bugui wanted to turn around and leave, not begging him anymore, but the house was more important after all, so he endured it and said with a wry smile, "Old Liu, can you help me?"

Liu Haizhong said sincerely, "Old Yan, it's not that I don't want to help, I just really can't get away. The factory will be conducting an assessment soon, and I only have free time tomorrow to ask for leave. I really can't delay it!"

He glanced at Yan Bugui and continued, "How about this, I'll go to the street office to discuss this matter this afternoon. If you want to rent it, hurry up!"

Yan Bugui did not meet his expectations and left disappointed! Passing through the hanging flower gate in the backyard, Yan Bugui looked at Liu Haizhong's family with hatred, his little eyes flickering!

"Dad, why don't you agree to him? Anyway, the house will not be lost even if it's delayed for a day or two." Liu Guangqi was very curious why Liu Haizhong was so ruthless to Yan Bugui!

Liu Haizhong lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke before explaining, "If you trust him, you'll be fooled! He will never do anything without profit!"

"Isn't it just renting a house? Could he really make it impossible for our family to rent one?" Liu Guangqi said nonchalantly, "We are old neighbors, what disgusting things can he do?"

"If you don't believe it, come with me to the street office tomorrow morning and you'll find out! I was right, he will definitely do something weird!" Liu Haizhong said confidently!

Liu Guangqi was skeptical about what Liu Haizhong said. The next morning, Liu Haizhong woke him up and said, "Go earlier. Get it done earlier so you can feel at ease earlier!"

When Liu Guangqi passed by the front yard, he glanced at Yan Bugui's house with shame, and was very dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong's duplicity! But when he left the courtyard, his heart was still filled with joy of getting the marriage certificate!

Because of Liu Haizhong's strong request, Liu Guangqi went to the street office with Wang Fang in the morning to apply for a marriage certificate according to the original arrangement!

Liu Haizhong accompanied them, and after they got their marriage certificate, they went straight to rent a house!

"There are currently no suitable houses for rent on our street. Do you want to wait a little longer?" the staff in charge of housing management said in embarrassment.

Liu Haizhong motioned for Liu Guangqi to grab a handful of candy, and then took out a pack of cigarettes, "Comrade, happy cigarettes and candy, my son just got his marriage certificate today!"

"Congratulations, Master Liu!" The street office staff accepted the gift and said embarrassedly, "But I really don't have a suitable house here!"

"We have two rooms in the back building of Yard 95. Can you rent one to me?"

"You still have houses in your yard? Didn't they run out a long time ago?" The staff member didn't believe it at all. "When I did a survey last year, Mr. Yan from the front yard said that your yard was full!"

"Really? I live there. How could I lie to you?"

"Wait a minute, let me check!"

After searching for a while, the staff finally found the dusty property registration book of No. 95 Courtyard!

"It's true! There are really two rooms. Mr. Yan, how did you do this? Didn't this make me make a mistake?" the staff member said angrily! If this really goes to extremes, this staff member will have a hard time. Writing a self-criticism is the lightest punishment!

With this episode, Liu Haizhong successfully rented a back house!

After leaving the office, Liu Haizhong asked Wang Fang to go back first and prepare lunch with the second aunt! He and Liu Guangqi went into the communication room at the gate and chatted with the uncle inside while smoking!

Liu Guangqi didn't understand why Liu Haizhong did this, but since the old man wanted to do this, he had no choice but to follow him!

After smoking half a pack of cigarettes, it was almost half past eleven and the subdistrict office was about to close! Liu Guangqi was anxious and puzzled when he saw Yan Bugui, Yan Jiefang, Liu Meihua, and a middle-aged man rushing over!

Liu Haizhong thought it was the woman's relative at first, but when he got closer, he took a closer look and saw that it was Sun Laowu. Today's wait was really worth it!

I saw Yan Bugui leading people into the first office, which was the office where Liu Guangqi applied for the marriage certificate. In less than ten minutes, Yan Jiefang and Liu Meihua came out with the marriage certificate!

Soon, Yan Bugui led a few people to the office in the yard. The office they entered was the one responsible for house management!

But this time, several people were quickly driven out. Yan Bugui said a few words to Sun Laowu, then left in a hurry with the children!

Sun Laowu was wandering in the courtyard of the subdistrict office. "Laowu, why are you here today?" Liu Haizhong pushed open the door of the communication room and shouted at him.

"Lao Liu, why are you here?" Sun Laowu was also puzzled when he saw Liu Haizhong. They lived not far from each other and knew each other, but they just didn't have much in common!

"I brought my child here to get a marriage certificate. I don't want to chat with you!"

"Congratulations! In the blink of an eye, the children are getting married!"

"Haha, come and smoke some wedding cigarettes. What are you doing here today?"

"Hi! I was at work when my second son came to call me and said there was a vacant house on this street and asked me to come back quickly. I took a leave of absence to come and rent a house, but in the end, I missed the chance because I was off work!" Sun Laowu said regretfully.

"Rent a house? Did Yan Bugui tell you that?"

"Yes! How did you know?" Sun Laowu said in surprise. He was an honest man and the kind of person who would listen to whatever was said!

"Come on! I'll help you!" Liu Haizhong grabbed Sun Laowu and walked inside.

"Lao Liu, is it possible? They said it's time to get off work!" Sun Laowu asked anxiously.

"Give it a try! Isn't the Street Office here to serve the people? And if it works, you don't have to miss work this afternoon!"

Sun Laowu had been struggling for a long time. He finally got the news of the house. If he didn't hurry up, he would definitely not get it. However, he had only taken half a day off. If he didn't rush back, he would definitely be deducted! Compared with the salary, of course the house is more important. Sun Laowu planned not to leave at noon and wait until the street office opened in the afternoon!

Hearing Liu Haizhong say this, Sun Laowu no longer resisted and followed Liu Haizhong into the office!

"You said you were off work, why are you back again!" The staff member just now didn't even raise his head, he was sorting out the documents!

"Comrade, I'm sorry to bother you!" Liu Haizhong threw a pack of Mudan cigarettes over to Sun Laowu, "Wedding cigarettes!"

"Old Liu, is there anything else you need?"

"This is my childhood friend. He also wants to rent a house. Can you help him?" Liu Haizhong said with a simple smile.

The staff member took a look and picked up the registration form without asking any more questions. "It's just you. I won't process anyone else. What time is it now?"

"Thank you so much for your enthusiastic service to our people. I will definitely write a letter of praise when I get back!"

"No, no! Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"

Soon, the formalities were completed, and Liu Haizhong took Sun Laowu out of the street office. "Lao Liu, thank you so much for today!" Sun Laowu held Liu Haizhong and said gratefully,

"It's okay. We're old neighbors. It's just a matter of helping each other!" Liu Haizhong handed over a cigarette. "Old Sun, what conditions do you agree to with Yan Bugui?"

"He asked me to give him ten dollars for the information!"

"You gave them all?"

"Hehe! I'm not that stupid. I'll give you five dollars first. We've agreed that I'll give you five dollars after the house is rented!" Sun Laowu was happy. He rented the house and could save five dollars. However, he had to repay Liu Haizhong's favor, but he had to spend the money willingly, unlike Yan Bugui, who asked for ten dollars as soon as he was reminded. He really deserves to be called the stingy old Yan. He only cares about money!

"Oh! So that's it! Old Sun, it's already noon, I won't chat with you anymore. Our child is getting the marriage certificate today, and we're celebrating at home, so I won't treat you to a meal!"

"Look at what you said. I came here in a hurry and I don't have much money. I am embarrassed to ask you for a meal. When I move over there, I will definitely treat you to a drink!" Sun Laowu was very ashamed, but very honest, and said whatever he wanted!

"We've been neighbors for many years, why be polite? I won't say anything more. My family is waiting for you! Come back!" Liu Haizhong responded generously!

On the way back, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but ask, "Dad, how did you know Yan Bugui wanted to steal the house?"

"Yan Bugui doesn't want our family to rent a house opposite his house, so that I will know everything about his family!" Seeing Liu Guangqi's confused eyes, Liu Haizhong continued to explain, "Don't think that he came to our house to discuss it. He came here to test us. If I promised him to go to the street office to rent a house according to his schedule, he would definitely be suspicious. I had to force him to listen to me, and then he would be relieved. However, he still had evil thoughts. You can see what kind of person he is. He never tells the truth and is too calculating!"

"Dad, I still don't understand. Why didn't Yan Bugui become suspicious if I didn't follow his schedule?"

Liu Haizhong didn't bother about Liu Guangqi not calling Yan Bugui "Uncle" at this time, and continued to explain, "Who am I, your father? He came to me to ask for help, and he wanted me to listen to him. Is this my style?"

"no!"

"Even you know it, so he must know it too, and he will doubt why I agreed. Is it because I am perfunctory to him? Do I not want to come to the street office with him and want to rent a house in advance?"

"Then if you ask him to come according to your schedule, won't Yan Bugui still have some thoughts?"

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "So, the reason he came to see me was to find out when I would go to the street office, to reassure me, to trick me! He had no intention of letting me rent the house at all!"

Liu Guangqi was also angry. He couldn't rent a house, which delayed his marriage. "This Yan Bugui is really a fool. Wouldn't it be good to have a room in each family? Why do you have to do this?"

Liu Haizhong said confidently, "You don't understand this, right? Sun Laowu's family's housing conditions are very poor, with five or six people squeezed into one room. He has been married for several years, but has never dared to have children because there is no room at home and it is too inconvenient! Once they rent this house, they can have children?"

"Ah! How old is he, and he still has no children?"

Liu Haizhong explained, "He is a very honest man. His parents are still alive, he has a younger brother, his family is poor, and he got married late."

"Did Yan Bugui choose him because he is honest? But even if he is an honest man, we can't give it to him after we finally have a house, right?" Liu Guangqi was completely confused!

Chapter 281 Yan Jiefang was frightened!

"There is an important piece of information here. Sun Laowu's company is moving, and the move is very far away. He will have to walk a long time to get to and from get off work. It's acceptable for a short time, but it's definitely not acceptable for a long time. All the time is spent on the road. With Sun Laowu's conditions, buying a bicycle is definitely not possible, especially after his wife becomes pregnant. Sun Laowu must find a house near the company and move his family there. His company is moving to the suburbs, where houses are easier to rent, so the house he is renting now will be vacant!"

"Then can't we let Sun Laowu's family live in the back house?"

"Do you think Yan Bugui is a good person? If he occupies more houses, won't he report it? Even if he doesn't report it, he can use this to threaten Sun Laowu, an honest man, and Sun Laowu will definitely compromise! He will occupy the house in Sun Laowu's name for one or two years, and when the children in the family are about to get married, they can cancel the lease and rent a house together, and then they can get the house without any loopholes!"
