In the latter half of 1999, Jiang Village was confirmed for demolition. However, in the first half of the year, An Jianping's family did two major things: First, they sold two plots of resident...
Chapter 442 Choosing a House
An Songyu naturally couldn't explain how prosperous the community would become in the future.
And how many people will live in the entire community later.
This intersection is the main entrance and exit because it is more convenient.
All she could say was, "I just feel like choosing any other place wouldn't make much of a difference!"
"We just chose this location... at least it will be more convenient if there is a need for renovation in the future."
"That's true!" Without considering location, shops closer to the edge are indeed easier to renovate.
So the An family simply stopped saying anything.
Just as An Songyu said, there doesn't seem to be any difference in the other positions.
However, because of their enthusiastic response, the rest of the An family all chose to join together.
Seeing that they had almost chosen all twenty houses in front of them and all the houses across the street, the other people waiting to choose houses behind them looked at them with a strange expression.
It was the demolition office staff who specifically explained the situation.
Not everyone can choose to live on this main street.
The original homestead was less than 100 square meters, and the buildings were few in number and old. Even if the compensation was calculated according to the proportion, the result was that they could not choose a house on the main street.
It's best to let them calculate in their minds before choosing a house.
It makes the selection process much easier later on.
The demolition office's reminder was very timely, which greatly increased the speed of decision-making for everyone except for a few who were still unwilling to give up.
Once all the areas eligible for normal compensation have been selected and the process is complete, the next step is to address the areas where the compensation is insufficient or exceeds the allotted area.
Most people had already picked up their keys and left.
Some of the remaining people looked particularly grim, while others appeared remarkably relaxed.
Their completely polarized attitudes make them almost instantly recognizable.
Sure enough, the demolition office staff first glanced at the remaining people before calling those with rather grim expressions to leave.
An Songyu and his group have already made enough of a scene today, so they're all staying put now.
However, there are several other families nearby who, like them, have slightly more space than theirs, or have left their homes to spend time with relatives and friends.
After seeing the people in front leave, someone sighed, "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!"
Upon hearing this, An Songyu and the others immediately looked over.
Several people around him were well aware of the situation.
But seeing the expectant looks in An Songyu and the others' eyes, the man immediately became more talkative: "You haven't been buying houses here for very long, so you don't know much about it yet!"
"Those people who went in just now are quite well-known in this area."
An Songyu and the others still didn't quite understand.
This is quite famous, is it because of its poverty?
It's worth noting that before this area was designated as a city, each household had a considerable amount of residential land.
Therefore, when the resettlement houses were built, foundations smaller than 80 square meters were not considered.
Those who are not eligible for the minimum compensation of 80 square meters and four-story resettlement housing are basically the ones with the worst houses and the smallest homesteads in that area.
"The demolition agreement this time is actually quite lenient."
"I heard that as long as the house still has a roof, it won't be a one-to-one compensation."
"The lowest compensation is 1.2."
"But among those people who just went in, several families fall into this lowest proportion."
An Songyu immediately realized what was going on. She recalled the houses she had seen when she came here to look at houses: "Could it be that they are all those single-story tiled roof houses?"
"They're not the only ones living in this area with single-story tiled roofs!" someone said, sounding somewhat exasperated.
"They don't just have single-layered tiled roofs; the condition of their houses is also exceptionally poor, which is why they were awarded 1.2 times the compensation!"
"If the odds are 1.2, I remember seeing several houses in the village with dilapidated walls and locked gates all the time, and they seemed to be getting the same odds!" Yuan Qionghua couldn't help but wonder.
In order to find houses for herself and the villagers, she became familiar with almost all the empty houses in this area.
Later, when the demolition was scheduled, some of the homeowners who had previously contacted her became less friendly when they met with her.
Some, however, still had a remarkably good attitude.
Therefore, she also heard a lot about the compensation ratios.
But those houses are compensated at a ratio of 1.2.
Surely a house that people live in can't be worse than those other houses, right?
“Apart from the fact that the yards aren’t overgrown with grass, their place isn’t much different from these empty houses.”
"It's a pity about the other two!"
"Because the elders divided the family property and allocated the homestead, and then their generation divided the family property again, and the homestead was divided again... Back then, they were considered capable people in this area, and they were the first to build a brick and tile house!"
"Over the years, they saved up money, hoping to wait a little longer so they wouldn't end up like their current house—built the earliest, now the most dilapidated! And now…it's perfect!"
"I don't know if their family can raise enough money for the remaining area of the 90-square-meter resettlement house."
"Saving up money but unwilling to build a house?" This was the first time the An family had ever heard of such a thing.
"Because neither of their families has a large population, the old house, though a bit old, is enough for them to live in, so they haven't thought about building a new house yet."
"Who knew the demolition would happen so coincidentally!" As they said this, the group couldn't help but look at An Songyu and his family.
Back then, quite a few people in the neighborhood said that their family had inside information.
Otherwise, how could they have just happened to build the tallest building?
But later someone mentioned that their family had been buying and rebuilding houses in multiple locations in Rongdi Liangdi.
Those who had doubts actually went to inquire about it and gradually came to believe that it was their good fortune.
After all, according to the information they had gathered, there seemed to be dozens of places they had rebuilt, including this one.
But apart from this place being lucky enough to be demolished, there are no other places like it.
In fact, in the vast majority of places, due to their location, the houses are not even fully occupied!
It's not easy to find a place with such good rental housing near them!
Even the An family members could tell the difference in the tone of their voices at the end.
They quickly suppressed their gossipy nature.
Just then, some of the people who went in ahead of us came out.
But judging from his expression and the way his whole family was cursing and swearing when they came out, everyone knew that the outcome might not be very good.
Sure enough, almost none of the people who came out next had a pleasant expression.
No, the last two families didn't look too good either, but at least they didn't look as bad as the people before them.
It seems the local residents know them quite well.
It's not that these two families didn't save money, it's just that they didn't spend the money at the most opportune time.
Next, it was naturally their turn.
Based on their circumstances, the first to be called in were actually the An Jianjia sisters.
Because their house was only built in a frame, and the two upper floors were not even finished with bricks.
None of the houses had doors or windows installed.
If it weren't for the fact that they were newly built, they wouldn't have been able to be compensated at a rate of 1.8.
However, precisely because of the 1.8 ratio, they could only choose one apartment during the first round of apartment selection.
