Li Changde returned home with a sullen face, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard the sound of a child crying inside.

Li Changde is 48 years old this year.

The eldest son is already married.

This time, not only the eldest son and daughter-in-law came, but also the youngest son and daughter.

Their family is quite large.

Because of this, none of the girls the youngest son dated were able to get married, because the requirement was that the young couple should at least have their own separate room.

But look at this house, there are only two rooms, and they are both filled with beds.

There was a curtain blocking the way in the middle.

The eldest son's eldest child is still young, only three years old.

Even when an adult turns over in bed at night, it can be heard clearly, let alone any other noise.

Wang Chengde felt bitter; he had been transferred here to become a vice president, after all.

Why is it that Ouyang Zhenyu can live in a detached house while I have to squeeze into such a cramped suite?

Besides, it's obvious that Ouyang Zhenyu has already stepped down. Although there's no news about him now, who has ever heard of a good person going silent for more than a month?

Moreover, the fact that he, as the dean, has been out of contact for more than a month and has not handled any affairs of the dean's office can only mean what?

This indicates that the person has encountered a serious problem.

Wang Changde recalled his wife crying to him, saying that Ouyang Zhenyu's wife lived alone in a large courtyard.

I heard that there are three rooms in the courtyard, and each room is as big as their suite.

Wang Changde and his wife even went to take a look, and sure enough, the yard was quite large.

If we could move into this courtyard, and partition off these three rooms, that would make six rooms.

Not only can their youngest son get married, but their eldest son and daughter-in-law can also have their own rooms, so the elderly couple can finally have their own private space.

Wang Changde was already eyeing the house just thinking about it, but today the house wasn't in the real estate department or under the hospital's jurisdiction, which was a bit of a problem.

He pushed open the door and went in, only to see his wife's face turn ashen as she yelled at him.

Are you going to do anything about it or not?

What use are you as the vice dean?

He's nominally the vice dean, but look at the place you live in.

I'm telling you, my second son's girlfriend came to visit today, and her mother-in-law spoke up.

Anyway, if the young couple doesn't have their own room, they won't marry their daughter into the family.

You have no idea how awful he looked today.

And our daughter is so big, yet she still squeezes into the same bed as us.

Is this a big deal?

Let me tell you, if you can't get this house down, I'm taking the kids back to the city. I don't want to suffer here with you.

I thought you got a promotion, but who knew that this place is even worse than our old tenement building.

At least in the old tenement building, the eldest and second eldest sons each got a room. Now, there's nothing at all.

Benxi was bombarded intermittently, and Wang Changde felt wronged. He had no idea that he would be in this situation when he arrived here.

It should be noted that the military hospital is already well-equipped, but this time, due to the arrival of a large number of medical personnel, the dormitory situation is becoming tight.

The newly built dormitories certainly cannot be completed in a short period of time.

I heard that the new dormitory hasn't even started construction yet, apparently because the higher-ups don't have the money and haven't allocated any funds.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Wang Changde was in a dilemma, as this was someone else's private property.

You can't just occupy someone else's house; otherwise, things will get complicated.

What do you know?

Know!

All you know is that you know. The other day I took you to see Ouyang Zhenyu's house. That house is so nice, why can't we live there?

If he, as the hospital director, can stay here, then we can't.

In what ways are you inferior to him?

"Oh dear, don't say that. His house isn't a hospital property; it's someone's private property."

Wang Changde naturally knew that the difficulty lay precisely in this.

His wife panicked when she heard this.

"What's wrong with a private house? Now he's in trouble."

Why should someone with problematic family background live in such a nice house?

Let me tell you, this is a very simple matter. Have you forgotten what happened to the Wang family?

That means the armed forces department just went there and demoted the people, confiscating all their houses.

What happens to the houses that weren't reclaimed?

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide.

If you can't even handle something this simple, then it's obvious that Ouyang Zhenyu is definitely in trouble.

If we don't kick someone when they're down at a time like this, and they get their eyes on us and take our house away, what chance will we have?"

Wang Changde remained silent for a long time after hearing this, mainly because doing so would be too immoral.

He knew about Lao Wang's family affairs, of course. Lao Wang and he had been friends for many years, and their families were quite close.

In the end, he was defeated because his arch-rival took the opportunity to cause trouble, and the other party directly filed a report.

And they actually managed to find something from the Wang family.

They sent the whole family to the countryside, where they heard it was freezing cold.

In the past, Old Wang's daughter couldn't make it; she died from a fever.

The house is now in his enemy's hands.

Seeing Wang Chengde's cautious demeanor, his wife grew anxious.

"What's wrong? Can't you get over your conscience?"

Are you just going to stand by and watch me and the children suffer if you can't get through this?

"Take a look for yourself."

Wang Changde sighed.

The youngest daughter now shares a big bed with the couple, while the youngest son has to squeeze into a single bed in the small kitchen at night.

We can't keep living like this forever.

Forget it, everyone looks out for themselves, even if it means losing their conscience, he has to lose it once.

Chen Ruixue packed her things but still felt unwell.

Not only could I not eat anything, but I also felt a little dizzy.

She suspects that her recent anxiety might be due to something physically taking its toll.

The next morning, she packed her bags and hitched a ride to the chicken farm.

When Chen Ruixue got off the car at the chicken farm, she realized that the chicken farm had changed a lot.

A middle-aged woman received her reporting notice.

He said it was neither a nose nor a face.

"Now that you're back at our chicken farm, you should honestly carry out the necessary reforms."

"This is the key to the dormitory. Just squeeze in there for now. This is how the conditions are at our chicken farm."

After putting down your luggage, you went straight to work in the afternoon; you were assigned to the first chicken coop.

Their specific responsibility is cleaning the chicken coop.

"You'd better do a good job. If someone like you doesn't honestly reform, let me tell you, we have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Chen Ruixue was completely bewildered by the scolding, and she usually went to the chicken farm by herself.

Others treated him fairly well, after all, his older brothers and grandfather were all doing well at the chicken farm.

But this time when she came, she found that the chicken farm seemed to have changed. At least she didn't recognize the middle-aged woman who was talking to her now.

He was a complete stranger.
