Chapter 212 Two in One

With the system helping her blur the information, Ding Guo decided to take the house in Pengbo Hutong and let Dayong buy the one in Sanlihe.

Dayong went to see Song Yuling before the agreed time to view the house, and after coming back he went to view the house with his sister.

"Told Yuling?"

Ding Dayong nodded and said, "Yuling wanted to come with us, but I thought things weren't going well over there, and if there was any conflict, I didn't let her. I'll take Yuling to see the house after it's ready."

Her fiancé wanted to buy a house, and Song Yuling was of course fully supportive. She also asked if she should ask her father for help. Dayong refused, saying that he and his sister would try first, and if they really couldn't solve the problem, they would ask his father-in-law to step in.

Having said that, Dayong had no intention of involving his father-in-law.

In order to buy the house in Pengbo Hutong, Ding Guo was also prepared to make it public, tell her husband about it, and explain the source of the money in her hands.

Pei Che himself had traded goods before, so things that happened on the road to making money could not scare him.

I didn't mention it before, but Ding Guo's individual thinking was too profound in his two lifetimes, and he was used to making decisions alone.

It was Dayong's action of going to see Yuling about buying a house that reminded her, otherwise she would have bought it secretly and then exposed it to her man one day when she remembered it.

Ding Guo took Dayong to see the house.

When we arrived at the designated location, the mosquito had already arrived and was looking around.

Ding Guo didn't pretend to be an old lady today. After all, she would have to come into contact with mosquitoes a lot in the future, and she couldn't just show her fake face to others.

Besides, I can’t put on makeup every time I go to Pengbo Hutong, right?

"mosquito!"

Ding Guo shouted, and Mosquito turned around, his eyes slowly widening.

This voice is... an old lady?

How could the old lady be so beautiful?

How could she bear to make such a face look old and frail?

"Sister?" Although he already had a guess, Mosquito still called out tentatively.

Ding Guo ignored the shock in Mosquito's eyes, pointed at Dayong next to him, and said, "This is my brother. Let's go and take a look at the house together."

She spoke for the second time and mentioned the house. Mosquito also confirmed Ding Guo's identity and said with a smile: "Sister, this... brother, please follow me."

No one mentioned Ding Guo’s previous makeup tacitly.

On the way, Ding Guo introduced the two people and also gave his name.

Dayong is the same age as Mosquito, but he is half a year older, so Mosquito can also call him brother.

The homeowners are a couple in their early fifties with gray hair.

Unfortunately, when he was in the prime of his life, he hit the reefs in the long river of life and suffered a period of hardship, which left his face with wrinkles and indelible scars in his heart.

He looked at people with a little caution, nodded and greeted the three young men, and bent slightly.

This extremely humble attitude makes people feel sad.

Ding Guo quickly bent down and greeted: "Teacher Yang, Teacher Wang, hello!"

On the way here, Mosquito told Ding Guo all the information he knew about the landlord.

These two were former high school teachers who were framed by their own students, labeled with criminal labels, and sent to remote areas for reform. They were rehabilitated and returned to the city this year.

After the couple was rehabilitated, they returned to their original school to continue teaching. The school also arranged dormitories for them and returned the ancestral home to Teacher Yang's family.

The reason why they are preparing to sell the house is, firstly, that they are scared and worried that the policies will change, so they want to exchange the house for money; secondly, the tenants living in the house are too difficult to deal with, and they are subjected to various moral blackmails.

Just today, as soon as the two of them and Ding Guo and the others entered the door, several people surrounded them.

Ding Guo noticed that the couple who were walking beside them subconsciously hid behind them.

An old man wearing a hurdle vest glared at Teacher Yang and his wife: "Teacher Yang, what are you doing again? You really don't intend to leave us a way out. You are still teachers..."

Ding Guo's eyebrows jumped, and just as he was about to speak, Mosquito stepped forward and said with a fake smile: "Huh? The paper mill doesn't pay your son and daughter-in-law? Then I'll go to the paper mill for you and ask them how can they just let the workers work without paying them."

The old man's face trembled, and he glared at Mosquito: "Who said that we won't be paid? Why are you talking nonsense, kid?"

Who is this young man and how does he know that his son and daughter-in-law work in a paper mill?

"Since they are paying wages, why are there no jobs? I thought the workers in the paper mill were going to starve to death." Mosquito sneered and called Ding Guo and the others to go inside.

Teacher Yang and the other teacher lowered their heads, somewhat afraid to look up and make eye contact with the tenants here. They instinctively moved closer to Ding Guo and his sister and followed them inside.

It is clearly my own home, but I feel restrained when walking in the messy yard, as if I am invading someone else's territory.

"You can't say that. Isn't it because the factory didn't approve the dormitory?" An old lady chased after the mosquito and tried to pull it away. The mosquito evaded the attack and covered its chest, crying "Ouch, ouch!" "Stay away from me! I just broke three ribs and they haven't healed yet. If I scare you, they will break. Whoever scares me today will have to support my entire family."

Without waiting for the old lady's response, she reached into her trouser pocket and pulled out a hospital prescription paper, as if to prove something. She opened it and closed it again in a flash, muttering, "Hey, why did I bring out my mental illness diagnosis sheet?"

Ding Guo's mouth twitched, and Ding Dayong looked at Mosquito in shock. Is this true? This guy doesn't look like he has a mental illness!

Several elderly men and women who wanted to gather around were also stunned.

The battle-hardened tenants seemed to have never encountered such an opponent and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

While Mosquito was joking around, Ding Guo had already dragged Dayong around for a rough tour, looking through the illegal construction to see the essence and getting a general idea of ​​the original layout of the house.

The yard is not big, about the same size as the yard in Zaohua Lane, Fengning.

When Ding Guo was looking around, a few residents who had reacted realized that Mosquito was a reckless person. They automatically passed by Mosquito and tried to pull Teacher Yang and Teacher Wang, but were stopped by Mosquito with a playful smile.

After a rough look, Ding Guo nodded to Mosquito, and the group walked out of the yard, ignoring the tenants' various complaints.

After coming out of their house, Mr. Yang and his wife were obviously relieved. Even though their movements were not obvious, Ding Guo could see that their bodies were relaxed.

Not so nervous anymore, Teacher Wang also asked Mosquito curiously: "Little comrade, how do you know that the son and daughter-in-law of that tenant work in the paper mill?"

Neither she nor Lao Yang knew.

Ding Guo looked at Teacher Wang in surprise, then at Mosquito. Didn’t Mosquito hear what the two teachers said?

"I asked someone!" Mosquito laughed. She knew more than just the information of that household.

After finding out that the house here was for sale, she asked for information about all the residents.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. If you don’t understand them, how can you negotiate with those people about moving away?

After they walked some distance apart, Ding Guo glanced at Dayong, asking him what he thought with his eyes.

Ding Dayong nodded imperceptibly.

Before I saw it, I heard from his sister that there were many non-compliant structures in the yard. Only after I saw it did I realize how messy it was. However, it was not a big problem. Once those messy sheds were demolished, the yard could be restored to its original state in an instant.

Ding Guo looked at Teachers Yang and Wang and said, "We have looked at the house. The situation is indeed a bit complicated. We will face a lot of trouble later. Look at the price..."

The solution to the mosquito bite cannot be considered as a bonus for the seller, and the opinions that should be expressed must be expressed.

Right now, the house comes with a lot of troubles, so it's not an exaggeration for her to use it as a bargaining chip.

Although she sympathized with the two teachers, she still had to keep things separate.

Whether it is the seller or the buyer, it is normal to strive for one's own interests. If the process is too smooth and all conditions are accepted readily, Teacher Yang and Teacher Wang should wonder if the house was sold at a loss and why there are other complications.

Ding Guo didn't want to test people's hearts.

Teacher Yang and Teacher Wang looked at each other, and Teacher Yang tried to quote a price: "Two thousand six, do you think it's okay?"

After he finished speaking, his face turned red, as if the price he quoted made him feel a little ashamed.

Ding Guo sighed inwardly and was about to speak when Mosquito glanced at Ding Guo and spoke first: "Teacher Yang, Comrade Ding will have to evict the residents after he buys the house. You two know what those people are like, and it may take a long time. We will have to find someone to help clean up the sheds later, which will cause a lot of trouble."

At times like this, she has to be the first to be the bad guy.

Teachers Yang and Wang sighed helplessly when they thought about the situation at home.

Moreover, the price quoted was indeed above their psychological price range, so there had to be some room for bargaining.

Go straight to the bottom line. There is no way to negotiate this deal.

After some bargaining, the price was finally set at two thousand three.

After agreeing on the price, Mr. and Mrs. Yang were actually more anxious than Ding Guo and the others. They were afraid that things would get more complicated the next day, so they wanted to complete the formalities today.

There was no problem with Ding Dayong, but his biggest problem was that he didn't bring that much money.

He had enough savings, but he didn't know he wanted to buy a house before coming to the capital, so he didn't bring that much with him.

Ding Guo nodded: "I'll take it with me."

She opened her bag, quickly swiped a bunch of money from the space inside, and let Teacher Wang take a look to reassure the couple.

Since both parties had no objection and had cash on hand, they headed straight to the street over here.

Ding Guo did not go through the formal procedures for his three houses. Only after he started doing so did he realize how troublesome it was.

In addition to the streets, I have to go to the Housing Authority and run a long way.

There were some old neighbors of Mr. Yang on this side of the street. They felt sorry for the couple and wanted to sign and stamp the agreement as soon as possible, but they were stopped by a person in charge. They called Mr. Yang and his wife and Mr. Ding Guo and their brother and sister to the side to talk and ask them how they were going to accommodate the tenants.

Isn’t this attitude irritating?

It's a bit infuriating. Teacher Yang, as the landlord, has been back for such a long time but has not been able to move into his own home. The street office has been trying to solve the problem for a long time but has not been able to. Now that he knows that the house is going to be transferred to someone else, people don't think about why the landlord has come to this point, but are concerned about the resettlement of the tenants.

Do you really care about those people? Not necessarily!

They are probably afraid that the residents will make trouble at the street office and cause trouble for them.

Ding Guo laughed out of anger, but if he wanted to transfer the ownership, he had to go through the street office. He couldn't offend anyone at the moment, so he could only cooperate with this leader and said that he would find a way to properly arrange it.

The person in charge wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, wanting Ding Guo to give him an answer, but Ding Guo's polite smile disappeared, and his eyes were suddenly filled with expectation. He asked, "Leader, has the street come up with a good idea? Are you going to help us solve the resettlement issues for those tenants?"

The person in charge was stunned for a moment, then immediately started practicing Tai Chi, and said with a wry smile: "Comrade, you are joking. If we had the ability, we would have solved it for Comrade Yang long ago. Our work is also difficult. There are many old and young people in those households. We have tried hard to coordinate in the past, but you have also seen..."

Ding Guo tried hard not to roll his eyes, but he still signed what was required and stamped everything. The person in charge just reminded them again to negotiate well with the tenants, to give them some resettlement fees, and not to make things too ugly.

I guess he was thinking, please don't make trouble on the streets?

This old fox!

Ding Guo had originally thought about providing resettlement fees.

No matter how powerful a mosquito is, it will inevitably cause endless troubles if you just drive it away with empty words. The purpose of buying a house is to live in peace. If you are upset because this problem is not solved properly, it will not be worth it.

I didn't tell the person in charge just now because I saw how slippery he is. I was afraid that he would ask for the specific amount and then talk to the tenants privately about some nonsense without their consent. In short, it would not help them at all and would cause unnecessary trouble.

Unexpectedly, she didn't mention it, but he was still slippery. After asking, he made it seem that he applied for the resettlement fee on behalf of those tenants.

But since this person wanted to take credit for this, it was useless for her to bring it up just now. Since there was no place to show him off, he would probably get it back somewhere else.

It's like a toad lying on your feet, it doesn't bite you but just disgusts you.

But considering that Dayong will live on this street in the future and will inevitably need to use the street, offending these people will only bring trouble to himself, so he can only swallow the fly stuck in his throat.

Dayong and Mosquito had obviously thought of this, and their faces were a little tense, but they didn't say anything.

After completing the formalities and coming out, Mosquito could not help but curse: "This grandson!"

Teacher Yang whispered, "Don't bother with Director Shao. You still have to live here in the future. That person is just like that. Although he is not very useful, as long as you don't offend him, there will be no other trouble."

But if you offend such a person, you will be slapped with small shoes one after another.

Mosquito asked someone at the Housing Authority to find a way.

Although the overall procedures will not be reduced, they can be accelerated, which greatly saves their time.

After signing the contract, Ding Guo took the two elders directly to the bank.

It was Mr. Yang and his wife who suggested going to the bank. Ding Guo directly opened an account in the name of Mr. Wang. She deposited today's rent into the account and handed the receipt to the couple.

Teacher Wang's eyes were a little moist: "Thank you, thank you."

There were people who had asked before this, some had lowered the price to a very low level, while others, when they saw the troublemakers in the yard, simply turned around and left, leaving them to endure the ridicule of the tenants.

If they don't sell the house, they won't be able to live in it, and they are also worried that the wind will change again and the house will become a target for others to attack them. Moreover, those people won't leave and delay paying the rent, making them live there for nothing, and the couple is also very upset.

The street couldn't coordinate well and they didn't have the ability to do so, so they had no choice but to sell the house.

It is also a helpless move!

Although I felt bad that it was my family's ancestral home, now that it was sold, I felt relieved.

Ding Guo: "Teacher Wang, don't say that!"

The old couple thanked each other a few more times and left supporting each other.

"Sister Ding Guo, Brother Yong, you don't have to worry about the rest. Leave the negotiation with those people to me."

Neither Ding Guo nor Dayong had the time to argue with those people. Ding Guo gave Mosquito three hundred yuan, saying, "If you move out within ten days, you will get twenty yuan for each household. If you move out within half a month, you will get ten yuan. If you move out after twenty days, you won't get a penny. We will directly demolish your house when the time comes. The resettlement fee is not enough, but you definitely can't do this alone. You can use the rest of the money to treat others to a meal or give your friends hard work fees. You can use it as you wish."

Mosquito scratched his head: "Sister, I actually have a way to deal with those people. I know all their backgrounds!"

Ding Guo smiled and said, "Let's use courtesy before force. If it can be resolved early, you can focus on your work. Your time is also time. It's not worth wasting too much time on this matter. Besides, there is also Pengbo Hutong."

Although Ding Guo didn't ask her specifically about her cleaning method, he knew it would be a bit radical.

She was also worried about causing irreversible trouble, so she decided to give the tenants some compensation, use courtesy before force, and create less hatred. If the matter was taken to the streets, they would be in the right.

The old fox just now also mentioned the resettlement fee. If he doesn't express his opinion, it would be a slap in the face.

Besides, this matter cannot be solved by just paying resettlement fees. If the tenants could be made to move out by paying resettlement fees, there wouldn't be so many disputes in the various streets.

Things that can be solved with money are not considered problems. What we worry about is that money cannot solve them.

So even with the resettlement fee, Mosquito's next job will not be easy.

Dayong also said: "Brother Mosquito, take it!"

To deal with those people, you have to be neither too tough nor too weak, as being too tough will lead to failure.

Mosquito didn't hesitate any longer. He took it and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Dingguo and Brother Yong." Then he asked, "I'll take care of those shacks that were built randomly. Will you keep the materials?"

With the resettlement fee, it is indeed easier for her to do things, but it is a bargain for those grandsons.

Because of the problems with his own house, Mosquito is very disgusted with those tenants who refuse to leave and bully the weak and fear the strong.

Dayong was very active and said, "You guys can arrange it as you see fit. As long as the original building is preserved, it will be fine."

If Mosquito and the others want those materials, they can ask for them, but it will be considered as extra labor fee, and they won't make much money from the dismantling.

Ding Guo didn't interrupt and let Dayong make his own decision.

The three of them separated, and Ding Guo and his sister walked back.

"Sis, the amount of money is too big to go through the post office. I'll go back and find someone to run a shift here as soon as possible and bring it directly to you." Dayong added, "If the 300 yuan resettlement fee is not enough, we can make up some more. The extra money will be regarded as hard work fee for Mosquito."

He paid for it.

After seeing those tenants, you can tell how difficult they are without having any contact with them. If you give the project to them, they may not be able to complete it.

Ding Guo nodded: "Okay!" and then said, "You don't have to worry too much, the house I like is still available."

"I know what's going on."

Dayong turned around halfway and told Yuling that the house had been bought and that he would ask his sister to take her to see it after it was ready.

Ding Guo found some time and dressed up as an old lady to sell four thousand kilograms of goods to Mosquito.

This time, a few people were replaced when going to pick up the goods with Mosquito, and the person who could weigh the weight was not brought along.

Mosquito also chose to directly believe that Ding Guo would not cheat on the price, and the transaction was carried out according to the agreed price. He tacitly did not mention the house and kept calling her "old lady".

Dayong was also very quick. He passed through the capital in less than a week and delivered the 300 yuan resettlement fee to Ding Guo. He drove away without stopping.

His sister said she was not in a hurry, but this kind of thing would not happen at their pace. What if the transaction was completed quickly? Don't delay his sister's purchase of a house.

Ding Guo went to find Mosquito on the tenth day. From a distance, Mosquito smiled at her, sent away the brothers who were guarding the door, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw them casually: "Sister, it's settled!"

Dingo is not shocked by the mosquito's efficiency.

Cats have their own ways, mice have their own ways, and before viewing the house, Mosquito would get thorough information about the tenants.

This girl did a lot of preliminary work and even included an additional resettlement fee in the original plan. Combined with her own methods, it was not surprising that she was able to solve the unresolved problems on the street in a short period of time.

"Sister, can you take a look at the house over at Pengbo Hutong these days?" Mosquito took out forty-six yuan and handed it to Ding Guo: "Sister, this is the remaining money."

Ding Guo didn't answer: "It's yours."

"Sister, you gave me a performance bonus. This was originally agreed upon, and I even asked you to pay extra."

Ding Guo: "We still have to dismantle the sheds and clean up the construction waste."

Mosquito laughed and said, "Those people tore it down themselves."

She didn't use any threats or bribes. When they were packing up and moving, she stood in the yard, looking at the illegal buildings, and loudly discussed with her brothers how much these things could be sold for. She also said that the wood was good and they could find a carpenter to make a box for them.

The bricks of this wall are well preserved. If we remove them and add some more bricks, we can build a utility room in the southeast corner.

With a look of anticipation that he was about to take advantage, he took the initiative to ask those residents: "Auntie, you are not going to take away the asbestos tiles on the roof, right? They are fireproof, moisture-proof and lightweight. If you don't take them away, I'm going to..."

Some people also asked her if she would be paid for the things she left behind. Mosquito shook her head and said, "If you are happy to take them away, you can. If you can't take them away, they are mine. I don't have any money to pay you. I am thinking that if these materials can be sold, I can sell them. If they can't be sold, I can save some money by keeping them."

If you want them to do it themselves, you have to give them the motivation to do it.

It’s not that Mosquito looks down on these materials. She is avoiding another kind of risk. It is also the experience she gained from taking back her own house and dismissing the tenants.

They dismantle it themselves, and no one will come back to look for or take something.

I dismantled it myself, took all the materials away, and had no excuse to cause trouble again.

As a result, those tenants who originally wanted to just leave ended up not leaving even half a brick, for fear that this scoundrel would take advantage of them.

So all you have to do is clean up the mess on the ground and repair the edges and corners that were damaged during construction.

She and her team completed the cleaning work, and it was up to the owner to decide on any repairs.

After listening to this, Ding Guo felt that the money was well spent.

"The remaining money is what you deserve. Just don't complain about it being too little."

Seeing that Ding Guo was sincere in giving, Mosquito didn't hesitate and said with a smile, "It's not too little, thank you, sister."

Speaking of Pengbo Hutong, Ding Guo has scheduled a house viewing next Monday.

Mosquito said, "Okay, I've already talked to the Zou family. I told them the address of the guy who injured someone last time when he was looking at the house."

Diverting conflicts in advance is one of Mosquito’s preparations here.

Mosquito only provided information to the Zou family because it involved his own interests, and Mosquito did not think there was anything wrong with it.

Speaking of which, if Ding Guo had not mentioned that he wanted to buy a house, she would not have paid attention to the Zou family and their house-hunting trip. If she had not paid attention, she naturally would not have followed the guy who caused the trouble and found out where he lived.

So she chose the right time to send out the right information, and she felt very comfortable with it.
