After a few days, even the children who came with them looked much better. Although they still didn't dare to run around and play like the children in the compound, they finally dared to go out.

Upon seeing this change, Section Chief Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood improved considerably.

He's no longer serious when he sees people, and he even manages to smile.

This makes everyone think that there might actually be a chance.

Suddenly, tensions rose even higher in the courtyard.

Those with family members working in the machinery factory are still working there.

Even Hao Mei, Liu Yan, and Miao Xiuhong privately asked Su He if she was interested in the house.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her say she didn't want it.

Su He found it amusing; they probably only asked her because they knew she didn't want it, and she was certain that none of them had asked each other.

Because I know the other person definitely wants it too.

Su He's family watched every household in the tenement make their moves, but they had no idea who would ultimately win the room.

...

However, the final result was unexpected.

In the end, no one got their hands on the house; it remained in Section Chief Ye's possession.

But the young couple from the Yuan family next to him moved away.

It turns out that after asking around in many places, Section Chief Ye finally found a house. However, the house is still a bit small, and it is a room in a large courtyard. Although it is a bit bigger than the one he lives in now, it is still not enough for his family of so many people.

Moreover, that place is quite far from the machinery factory.

But coincidentally, that room was located very close to the glove factory where the Yuan couple worked.

So after Section Chief Ye bought it, he discussed with the Yuan family about exchanging it with them.

The young couple from the Yuan family were quite satisfied when they went over to take a look. After all, the room was a side room, which was larger than the side room they were currently living in, and it was also closer to their workplace, so they agreed without hesitation.

Because the young couple from the Yuan family were usually low-key and didn't have much of a relationship with their neighbors in the courtyard, the people in the tenement didn't find out until Section Chief Ye was cleaning the room after they moved out.

The surprise and disappointment of everyone was understandable.

In particular, Section Chief Ye said to them with a smile,

"I was thinking that since I didn't like this house, I would wait until I found a bigger one before moving out."

But then I thought about how kind the people in our courtyard are, and how they take good care of Guihua and the children. We've finally gotten used to each other, and if we change the environment, we'll have to readjust.

So after thinking about it, I've decided it's better to continue living here. We can all look after each other, and I feel more at ease having them at home while I'm at work.

Hearing his words, Su He couldn't help but secretly laugh. She could imagine the expressions on the faces of the most enthusiastic families right now.

They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead. I wonder if they regret being so enthusiastic before.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Section Chief Ye is quite an interesting person. I wonder if he knew why his neighbor was acting that way beforehand. If he didn't, then we can say he didn't mean to say that.

But Su He didn't quite believe that someone who had been in the army for so many years wouldn't have noticed.

That means I know.

If that's the case, then he did it on purpose!

He was quite wicked, after all, he was the highest-ranking official in the compound. Although Uncle Niu was of a high rank, he didn't care about people, while he was the head of the security department and also of a high rank. So no matter how unwilling others were, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

It was all for nothing.

But even though they were angry and frustrated, they couldn't do anything. After all, Section Chief Ye had said so. If they were to become indifferent to Fang Guihua afterward, wouldn't Section Chief Ye discover their ulterior motives?

So she said that from this perspective, Section Chief Ye really seems "malicious".

However, not long after, the "malicious" Section Chief Ye came to visit.
