"I was just trying to scare them. Grandpa is still alive, so how can I transfer the ownership by myself? Besides, the old house belongs to my father. What belongs to my father can only belong to me. I have several brothers and sisters."

That's true.

"How did you make the agreement back then?" Ye Xiaozhen asked again.

Xie Linan said: "Uncle Xiao and Uncle Xiao have all moved away, and their household registration has also moved away. They agreed that the house in our hometown would belong to our family. Uncle Xiao got a job opportunity, and he also got a part of the money for the house that his unit allocated to him. That money belongs to the family, so it can be considered as a house allocated to him. What they got is much better than this shabby house in the countryside, and they have never said they are willing for so many years."

"Is the house still in Grandpa's name?"

"Yes, it's still under Grandpa's name."

Ye Xiaozhen took a deep breath and tapped his forehead. "How can this be possible? Now they say that it's because the house is valuable and they are the beneficiaries. But the future is certain. If they divide it up early, there will be more conflicts in the future."

Xie Linan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Ye Xiaozhen said, "What do you think of the land conditions in our village?"

"It's pretty good, with mountains and water, and the hillsides are high, but overall the terrain is flat."

"Yeah, it's only about ten miles away."

"It's only a few dozen miles away now. The wasteland in the south has been cleared and factories have been built. This area has also been included in the district."

"That's it. Lincheng is developing better and better now, so it will definitely continue to expand. It's more than ten miles away. How much do you think it will take to expand to our village?"

He understood what I said, "You mean our village will also be included in the scope of expropriation in the future, and our village will become a district, a street, right?"

Ye Xiaozhen nodded.

"The demolition fee is cheap. The compensation for the demolition of the village in the south was more than 10,000 yuan two years ago. If it was demolished this year, it would be at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan."

This is now, and whether it is 10,000 or 70,000 or 80,000, it is considered a lot, and their old house is very small.

It will become more and more expensive in the future.

"Tell me, given the current rate of development, when will our village be demolished?"

Xie Linan thought for a moment and said, "I estimate about ten to eight years."

"Judging from the development trend in the past two years, how much money will be needed to demolish the buildings in the next ten or eight years?"

This time he thought for a longer time, muttering to himself while calculating.

After a while he said, "I'm afraid it will cost 1.8 million."

"That's it. One million or eight hundred thousand. If the house had always been in Grandpa's name, do you think they would come to cause trouble?"

Xie Linan nodded and said, "This is a problem. My two uncles are so shameless that they will definitely come to make trouble. They will definitely acknowledge the agreement made in the past."

The more I think about it, the more I feel this is a landmine.

Xie Linan said: "Then we can do this later, but... I always thought that if grandpa was still alive, we could transfer the ownership of the house, which would be great."

Most people would think so, but if his two uncles were the kind of people who knew when to quit, there would be no need to transfer the property while the old man was still alive.

But they are not the kind of people who would quit when they see that they are ahead.

You know, more than ten years ago, my uncle got a job and successfully transferred to a city resident, which was exchanged for a house in the countryside.

He made a fortune.

I spent money on my uncle's studies and solved his housing problem in the city so that his whole family could settle down in the city. They also exchanged their first house in the countryside for this one.

At that time and now, city households had various tickets, while the countryside had not yet divided the land. One could earn points by working hard and still be able to support a family. I know how many people wanted to move to the city but had no chance.

It doesn't make sense that we let them take advantage of us in the first ten years or so, and then let them take advantage of us again after the houses are demolished.

Even though Xie Linan thought it was a good idea to transfer the house while his grandfather was still alive, he still went to talk to him.

He was afraid that his grandfather would be sad, so he spoke hesitantly and in a low voice.

"I also know that it's a good idea to come to Grandpa now to transfer the house. I'm afraid that Uncle and Uncle will pester me, and I'm afraid that there will be conflicts over the house in the future. Of course, if you are willing, then... forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

After listening to him, Lin Xinghua slapped him on the forehead seeing his frightened face.

"It's yours, you just told me openly, why are you acting like a thief?"

Xie Linan touched his head and smiled foolishly.

He is fierce to outsiders, but a little bit cruel to his own family.

Well, that's accurate. Strictly speaking, he was only afraid in front of his grandfather and daughter-in-law.

"Hearing what you said, I now think it's better to transfer the ownership as soon as possible. I transferred the ownership before because I thought no one wanted the shabby house. You and Xiaozhen are both capable and you also like the shabby house, so I didn't mention it. That's right, the house should be considered your father's. Since it belongs to your father, it belongs to you alone. How do you think we should transfer the ownership?"

Xie Linan thought for a moment and said, "The elders are still a few months away from their month-long vacation. Let's talk about it when they come back."

"Oh, I'm going to die soon, and the house will be demolished soon, so let's talk about it after you guys have discussed it."

This matter is not urgent at the moment, just discuss it with grandpa and it will be fine.

…

Ye Xiaozhen has applied for various licenses and procedures recently, and has also recruited enough staff. Now all she needs is an auspicious day to open the business.

She scheduled the opening time for this weekend, which happened to be when her two brothers-in-law were on a month-long holiday and everyone was there.

Before that, Ye Xiaozhen returned to her hometown in the countryside.

Mainly deal with old houses at home.

The Ye family's house was a large tiled house made of green bricks which was quite good ten years ago, but it is quite nice now.

There are already two or three families in the village who have built red brick houses, which is what people are pursuing nowadays.

Those who have a little money, or who pursue something a little, are saving money to build red brick houses.

The neighbor's son got married and lived in a rather crowded place, so Ye Xiaozhen generously offered to lend her house to them.

"I'll lend you this room as a bedroom."

"Hey, thank you, Xiaozhen, thank you. But don't worry, we have borrowed it for several years, and we will have room for it when my daughter gets married."

His daughter is fourteen years old this year. Her brothers are getting married and need separate rooms, but this girl is still squeezed together with her grandparents.

The girl had grown up, so she had no choice but to borrow a room from Ye Xiaozhen.

Aunt Wang held Ye Xiaozhen's hand and stuffed money into her hand.

Ye Xiaozhen didn't take it, but held her hand and said, "The house is empty anyway, I'll take the money, but I'll trouble you to clean it up from time to time."

"That's what I should do. Don't worry, I'll clean this yard thoroughly for you."
