Chapter 216 Temporary Building
Time passed, and two days went by quickly. The government immediately carried out rescue operations in the disaster-stricken areas. Li Shengli and others lived in a shed they built in the yard for two days until the street office issued a notice saying that there would be no more aftershocks. Then they returned to their homes.
That day, Li Shengli got off work early and returned to the courtyard. Before he entered the yard, he heard a clanging sound coming from the yard. Li Shengli felt a little strange. He pushed his bicycle back home and saw two workers building a house in front of Yan Bugui's house. It seemed that they had been building it for quite some time and were about to finish the roof.
"Hey, two workers, who asked you to build a house here?" Li Shengli hurriedly stopped the two workers. This was not acceptable. This was public land in the compound. How could anyone occupy it at will?
The two workers also understood that they had taken on a lot of such work. Some of them were built, while others were demolished.
"This family asked us to build it." The younger worker looked at his master and pointed at the door of Yan Bugui's house.
Li Shengli was furious. This Yan Bugui was really something. It had only been a short time and he started scheming again. And with such a big yard, was there no one saying anything about him?
"Master, please take a break first. I'll go talk to him." Li Shengli took out a cigarette and handed one to each of them. Li Shengli did not make a scene, as that would be the behavior of a shrew. He was just politely asking the two workers to take a break first.
The two masters were happy to do this favor. They took the cigarettes, sat on the stools next to them and watched the show leisurely.
Li Shengli walked up to Yan Bugui's house angrily and knocked on the door.
"Coming, coming." Yan Bugui's unhurried voice came from the door. Now there was no danger, and Yan Bugui started watching TV every day again.
"Shengli, what's the matter?" Yan Bugui was a little surprised when he pushed open the door and saw Li Shengli. When he saw the two workers looking at him, he looked at Li Shengli awkwardly. Now he knew why Li Shengli came.
"Teacher Yan, who approved you to build a house here?" Li Shengli pointed at the house that was already half built and said to Yan Bugui, "Have you consulted other people in this courtyard? Have you obtained the consent of the street office?"
"Li Shengli, this is in front of my house, I can build it however I want." Yan Bugui was a little annoyed by what Li Shengli said. Who are you, Li Shengli? Why do you care about my business? After all, I am the third uncle of this yard.
"Sure, Old Yan, you're just starting to scheme again when things are a little better. What will happen to the other people in the front yard after you build a house?" Li Shengli would not tolerate him. If everyone in the yard built a so-called temporary house, what would the yard become?
In his previous life, Li Shengli had seen this kind of courtyard house with many people living in it on the Internet. The house was covered with a roof so large that even a bicycle could not be pushed in.
"What are you talking about? Director Wang also knows about this." Yan Bugui was not happy about this and asked Director Wang himself. This temporary building did not have a property certificate and the street office did not recognize it, but they did not say that it was not allowed to be built, which meant that the street office had tacitly agreed. If someone really said that this affected their family, that would definitely be unreasonable.
"What will happen to other people if you build this? The yard is so small and there will be no room for people to move around after you build this house. You will turn a nice courtyard into a slum." Li Shengli pointed at several houses next to Yan Bugui's. Once this temporary building was built, it would block the sunlight for other people. Besides, Li Shengli couldn't stand the place where he lived becoming messy.
"Come on, Li Shengli, go and have a look. They are building temporary buildings now. You can't be so concerned about it. Besides, if it is built in advance, there will be a place for more people to live in the family." Yan Bugui looked at Li Shengli with some disdain. Why do you, a young man like you, want to teach me a lesson? Besides, if you don't build in this yard, what will happen if this good location is occupied by others?
"Besides, there is not enough room for everyone right now. I've built it now so that more people can live there." Yan Bugui said with confidence. "Come on, you only have a few sons, who will come to see you when nothing happens?" Li Shengli looked at Yan Bugui with disdain, and looked at Yan Jiefang and the others, who had come to see his father when nothing happened, and the only time they came was to take away the wooden tarpaulin and other things.
"Teacher Yan, don't regret it later." Li Shengli didn't try to persuade him any more. He thought that you would be in trouble in the future, and he would just watch them make trouble.
Yan Bugui built this in a public place, and even the street office doesn't care. I really have no way to say anything to him. He is so shameless. Just for Yan Bugui's behavior, I'd better not let anything happen to me in the future.
"Teacher Yan, are we going to start building this?" After Li Shengli left, the worker who was sitting nearby watching the fun said calmly.
"Cover it, why not cover it?" Yan Bugui said unhappily.
Li Shengli left the Yan family and found the resident next to the hallway: "Aunt Zhao, are you going to let Old Yan build a house here? After the house is built, you won't be able to get sunlight."
"Shengli, it's better to have less trouble than more. Besides, Third Uncle also said that this is a temporary building and it will be demolished soon." Aunt Zhao began to persuade Li Shengli.
Well, Li Shengli is at a loss. For things like this, only those affected report to the street office and they will come to deal with it. What Li Shengli says will be of no use at all.
These neighbors are really something. Even after things have come to this, they still don’t know what kind of person Yan Bugui is. I’d better prepare to move out as soon as possible. The people in this compound are really unspeakable.
Li Shengli returned home feeling a little depressed. After Han Qiuyun came back, Li Shengli told his wife about this.
Han Qiuyun was not that surprised. This was human nature. At this moment, no one had the idea of going to the street office or the police for help. Most people thought that it was better to have less trouble than more and would just endure it.
"Qiuyun, let's move out when the time comes." Li Shengli was silent for a while and then said to Han Qiuyun in a serious tone.
"Okay, we can move to Shuijing Hutong." Han Qiuyun had no objection. After living in this courtyard for more than ten years, Han Qiuyun also found that there were some problems with the people in this courtyard.
Li Shengli didn't say anything. If they really had to move, where would they live in such a slum? If not a courtyard house, they should at least live in a villa.
After waiting for less than two days, the temporary building of Yan Bugui's family was completed. Even if others wanted to build one, they did not have the capital. Looking at Aunt Zhao's house blocked by Yan's temporary building, Li Shengli could not help shaking his head. If it were him, he would have taken a sledgehammer and smashed it down. Isn't this pure bullying of honest people?
