Chapter 244: Li Shengli is taken advantage of
While Li Shengli and his family were eating hotpot at Donglaishun, a conversation was taking place at Aunt Zhao's house next to Chuantang in the front yard of the courtyard.
"Mom, let's sell the house here." Aunt Zhao's son is now a small leader in their factory, and the factory has allocated him a cadre house.
"Why sell it? We've lived in this house for such a long time." Aunt Zhao has developed feelings for the house she lives in.
"You haven't lived here long enough. Let's not talk about anything else, just look at these people in this yard." Aunt Zhao's son pointed outside the window of his house. The two temporary buildings that had been built were still in good condition; they were standing there. It was said before that they would be demolished soon, and now five years have passed, and they are still there in good condition.
He had a new understanding of Yan Bugui's shamelessness.
"Besides, it's so inconvenient to live here." Aunt Zhao's son continued to persuade his mother, "I'm now allocated a house, and I can go to the toilet inside the house. I don't have to run to the public toilet outside in the winter."
People who have never used a public toilet may not understand that in a dry toilet like this, the floor is covered with frozen urine in the winter, and in the summer, the smell is really indescribable.
Aunt Zhao's son was fed up with having to go to the toilet outside this winter.
Aunt Zhao was still a little hesitant. Although none of the people in this courtyard were good people, she had already gotten used to living here.
"Mom, your grandson still needs you to take care of him." Seeing that Aunt Zhao was still hesitating, Aunt Zhao's son had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Okay." Aunt Zhao agreed after hearing her son talking about his grandson.
"Then who are you going to sell the house to?" Since you have decided to move out with your son, there is no need to keep this house. Selling it can just help supplement the household expenses.
"Several families in the yard need houses. Let's see who offers the highest price." When Aunt Zhao's son heard that Aunt Zhao agreed, he didn't care much about the others. No matter who the house was sold to, Ji would not come back anyway.
"Everyone in this compound is paid. How can anyone have so much money?" Aunt Zhao thought carefully about who in this compound had the money to buy her own house.
"Mom, what do you think of Li Shengli's family?" Aunt Zhao's son also began to think about it.
The people who work in the factory in this yard are all waiting for houses to be allocated by the factory. It is unlikely that they will pay for the houses. The three old men in the yard are now retired and their children are not around, and their children are also waiting for houses to be allocated.
Not to mention Sha Zhu in the middle courtyard. He has the most houses in this courtyard, including the original house of the Jia family, the old lady's house in the backyard, and his own two rooms, which is equivalent to six people living in four rooms.
Aunt Zhao's son thought about it and decided that the person most likely to buy a house in this yard was Li Shengli.
He also inquired and found out that Li Shengli's wife seemed to have a house in Shuijing Hutong, but his children were still young, so it was impossible for them to live separately now.
"Then let's go find Li Shengli. Li Shengli has never liked dealing with people in the yard, but he's pretty good at dealing with people." Aunt Zhao remembered that a few years ago she had come to persuade her not to agree to Yan Bugui building a house in the yard.
Aunt Zhao now thinks back to what Li Shengli said and feels really regretful.
"Then I'll go look for Li Shengli in the afternoon." Aunt Zhao's son also agreed with Aunt Zhao's words. Li Shengli was the only person in the yard that he liked.
Li Shengli and his family finished their hot pot meal at Donglaishun, and then they pushed their bicycles, taking a leisurely walk to digest the food while heading towards the courtyard.
When Li Shengli and his family returned to the courtyard, couplets were being posted in the courtyard.
When the families in the front yard saw Lee Seung-ri holding something in his hand in his car, they almost dropped their jaws in shock.
"Shengli, that's a camera, right?" Yan Bugui's eyes were sharp, and he saw the box in Li Chengzhi's hand without seeing other things. "Yes, Teacher Yan." Li Shengli nodded, but he didn't mean to take out the camera to show everyone.
"It seems that you really made money." Although Yan Bugui was a little dissatisfied with Li Shengli always calling him Teacher Yan, look at Shazhu Qin Huairu and their children, they always call him "Uncle" when they see him.
"Shengli, can you take a picture for us?" Yan Bugui thought for a moment and tried to take advantage of him again.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Yan, I'm not familiar with this thing either." Li Shengli politely rejected Yan Bugui's request.
Yan Bugui didn't expect Li Shengli to agree. He just asked with the idea of trying his luck.
Afterwards, Li Shengli ignored everyone else and unloaded everything from the car.
"Mom, did you see it?" Aunt Zhao's son said to Aunt Zhao with envy as he looked at the things Li Shengli brought back.
"That's right, they are the only family in this compound who needs a house and has the money to buy one." Aunt Zhao also agreed with her son's point of view.
So after Li Shengli packed his things, Aunt Zhao's son came to find Li Shengli.
"What's the matter?" After hearing the knock on the door, Li Shengli was still wondering if someone was coveting the things he bought and wanted to come to ask for a piece of the pie, but someone unexpected appeared at the door. Li Shengli looked curiously at Aunt Zhao's son standing at the door of his house, as the two families should have no relationship.
"Li Shengli, you want to buy a house or not." Aunt Zhao's son was also very straightforward. The relationship between the two families was neither close nor distant. Speaking directly when there was something to say was the best way for the two families to deal with each other.
"Huh?" Li Shengli looked at Aunt Zhao's son in front of him in some confusion. This man said some inexplicable words right as he came up.
"It's like this. My company allocated me a house, and I plan to move my mother in. This house will be empty. Your family is the only one in this yard that can buy it, so I came here to ask you if you want to buy it." Aunt Zhao's son explained the reason why he came to see Li Shengli.
Li Shengli looked at the man in front of him and felt that what he said was not false. Li Shengli also knew this man. He was usually a nobody in the yard and didn't get involved in anything. Aunt Zhao was also an honest person and was bullied by Yan Bugui.
Li Shengli thought about it and decided that this was not a loss at all. This courtyard house could be a good investment even if he didn't live in it in the future.
"I can buy it, how much do you want?" Although Li Shengli also wanted to buy a house, he had to consider whether this person was going to ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
"Since you want to sell it, just name a suitable price. Don't ask for an exorbitant price." Li Shengli looked at the man in front of him and saw that his expression seemed to want to quote a high price, so he quickly reminded him.
"Fifteen hundred. If you want it, take fifteen hundred." Aunt Zhao's son gritted his teeth and quoted this price.
Li Shengli lost interest when he heard this. The entrance courtyard of a courtyard house in BJ only costs 10,000 yuan now. This guy is not honest.
"Stop talking, it's too expensive, I can't afford it." Li Shengli had no interest in talking to him at all. It seemed that he was really being taken advantage of. After saying that, Li Shengli planned to close the shop.
"Then tell me how much money you want." Aunt Zhao's son quickly locked the door of Li Shengli's house.
"It's not a question of how much money it is. It's that I really don't have the money to buy your house." Li Shengli thought to himself that if he had the money, he could buy anything else, but he had to buy your house. He didn't need a place to live too big. A courtyard house with one or two entrances would be enough.
After saying that, Li Shengli closed the door of his house.
