Chapter 60 I Build a House on My Own Land
Yao Shula had considered that demolishing the Cao family's courtyard wall and replanning the area would definitely not go so smoothly.
But Yao Shula didn't expect that the people jumping the most would be the people from the small shop at the street corner.
After thinking about it carefully, Yao Shula suddenly understood.
The disturbance only affected the area facing the street; it had nothing to do with the houses in the alley, so of course they didn't care.
But here at the small shop at the street corner...
The vacant lot in front of Old Cao's house has long been considered his own territory by the shopkeepers at the street corner.
Employees can park their bicycles at the entrance, or the tricycles that come to deliver goods, and some miscellaneous items can be placed there.
Suddenly, they can no longer use this vacant lot, and the people in the small shops at the street corner will definitely have objections.
The day before, Mr. Sun's eldest son came and spoke to the people at the small shop at the street corner, asking them to clean up all the clutter piled up on the open ground.
Also, the bicycles of the two employees who sell goods in the store should not be parked here.
Unfortunately, the two sales clerks in the shop pretended not to hear.
Not only were the bicycles still there as before, but the goods delivered from the supply and marketing cooperative warehouse in the morning were also piled up on that ground.
Yao Shula looked at those things without moving.
The Sun brothers looked at the things, then glanced at Yao Shula, and gestured for her to walk to the back and stand with the onlookers.
Yao Shula immediately understood.
Yesterday, Master Sun came over specifically to say that her son would handle the matter of dealing with that vacant lot.
"Don't worry! Those two brothers may look at the tiger, but they know what's going on."
These two brothers were in charge of building two more rooms for our family.
You can just watch the show from the sidelines.
Yao Shula immediately agreed.
Ms. Sun is a straightforward person, so her son must be the right one.
After all, it's rare to find someone in this society who can find a son-in-law to live with them and have two sons and a daughter take their surname.
Yao Shula's mind raced, and she suddenly turned around and went home.
After pulling Yao Shuli down from the wall where he was watching the commotion, he stuffed five yuan into Yao's hand and whispered a few words in his ear.
Yao Shuli immediately grabbed the five yuan and ran away as fast as he could.
At this moment, the two Sun brothers huddled together and whispered to each other. Then, the eldest brother, Sun Jiashun, suddenly turned around and walked towards the machinery factory.
Yao Shula grabbed a handful of leftover sunflower seeds from the New Year celebrations.
Yes, just as I guessed.
...
Half an hour later, Sun Jiashun arrived with a group of employees from the machine repair shop on duty, and Yao Shuli followed them at a distance.
Yao Shula counted, and there were ten people in total, including the Sun brothers.
It seems there's enough money to buy cigarettes for Yao Shuli...
As soon as these people arrived, the neighbors who had been watching became excited.
They've gone to find people, and they've all found strong, young men. I hope they don't start a fight today!
Thinking of those two people at the little shop on the street...
The man and woman looked no match for these people...
A group of people looked at the goods and several bicycles piled up on the open ground and immediately set about clearing them away.
Sun Jiashun and Sun Jiakang waved their hands.
The two brothers first went into the small shop. The two sales clerks, who were engrossed in checking the accounts, only raised their eyelids briefly before looking down at the ledgers in their hands.
"Comrades, could you please move all those things and bicycles off that piece of land?" Sun Jiashun said with a smile.
The two men didn't say a word; they just continued looking at the ledger.
"You have ten minutes, please take your things away."
If you don't have time, my brother and I will help you!
"Okay, you guys get back to work!" Sun Jiashun said, then pulled his younger brother out.
The two sales clerks snorted.
They didn't care about any of that, and they didn't believe the Sun brothers would actually clear out everything that was placed on that open space.
"You go if you want, I'm not going!" the male sales clerk muttered under his breath.
The saleswoman rolled her eyes at him.
"Am I just bored out of my mind?!"
...
Ten minutes later, the Sun brothers waved their hands without saying a word, and everyone rushed forward...
Soon, bicycles, along with boxes and other items that hadn't been brought into the shop, were piled up at the shop's entrance.
The two shop assistants in the store never expected that the Sun brothers would actually bring all those things to their doorstep.
The two of them immediately ran out.
"What are you doing?" the saleswoman shouted.
"Who gave you permission to touch our store's stuff? This is all public property, you know?" the male sales clerk immediately shouted.
Sun Jiashun chuckled twice.
"Public property?"
So why are you putting public property on our family's homestead?
What? Are you trying to accuse our family of misappropriating public property, or are you trying to give public property to our family?
Seriously, a manure truck is passing by, and you two want to taste it to see if it's salty enough? You're just being silly.
"What business is it of yours if we build houses on our own land!"
Upon hearing this, the two sales clerks glanced at the two flatbed carts carrying two loads of red bricks approaching and realized that something was wrong.
"Your land? Just because you say it's your land doesn't mean it's your land."
"Aren't you afraid the police will come after you for illegally occupying public land to build houses?" The male sales clerk immediately jumped out.
Sun Jiashun chuckled.
"Fine! Go ahead and report us to the police station!" Sun Jiashun was too lazy to waste words with the two of them.
They're just two idiots who're using someone else's power to bully others...
Upon hearing this, the male shop assistant immediately pushed his bicycle and headed to the police station.
The saleswoman looked at the pile of goods at the entrance of the small shop, and angrily stomped her foot before turning around and going back into the shop.
While directing everyone to clear the open space, Sun Jiashun also asked everyone to help unload the bricks from the two flatbed trucks.
Red bricks were immediately placed on the vacant lot.
Sun Jiashun then explained to the surrounding neighbors.
"This yard is now ours."
Moreover, this land was originally on our family's homestead.
"Is there a problem with us building houses on our own land?" Sun Jiashun asked everyone.
Those watching the spectacle thought, "There's definitely no problem! It's not like it's being built on their own land, what could possibly be wrong?"
"No problem! Definitely no problem!"
"That's right! I was wondering why there was such a big missing piece in front of Old Cao's yard. Turns out this piece of land belonged to Old Cao!"
"It's not the Cao family anymore, it's the Sun family now!"
“Building a house on your own land is definitely not a problem.”
Everyone was talking at once, and soon the police arrived.
The male sales clerk at the small shop was still talking to the police officers.
"Comrade, this is extremely serious."
Building houses on public land—what is that if not illegal?
