"Mom, once the demolition is completed and we get a few hundred thousand yuan in compensation, I'll immediately find a new wife and kick that mother and son out! You, just hang in there a little longer, everything will be easier once we have the money!"
“Old Guai, when you get a new wife, don’t go looking for someone like her again. She’s unfaithful, disobedient to her elders, and malicious. I don’t even want to list all her faults. If it weren’t for the fact that we were poor before…”
Chen Zhaodi overheard the Liu family's secret while taking out the trash.
She curled her lip in disdain, turned and walked away decisively, then suddenly paused.
Wait a minute, what did the Liu mother and son say? Demolition!
Chen Zhaodi was extremely excited, but after thinking about it carefully, she calmed down. There was no such thing as demolition compensation. The Liu family mother and son were just crazy for money!
Over the years, many of our relatives have encountered renovations or demolitions, and everyone has genuinely benefited from them. Those who received demolitions, in particular, become hot topics in the newspapers every now and then.
Who wouldn't want their property to be demolished and they'd be rich overnight?
However, after several years of doing business, Chen Zhaodi's perspective on things has broadened considerably.
—Shuangdong Hutong does not meet the conditions for demolition.
According to Chen Zhaodi's understanding, the renovation and demolition all take place near certain famous scenic spots. The government is willing to spend money on investment, largely hoping to get a higher return. After all, with the current tight budget, why would the government waste money on the unremarkable Shuangdong Hutong?
Shuangdong Hutong is just one of hundreds of ordinary people's hutongs in Beijing.
It doesn't matter if it's missing or added; the government simply wouldn't waste money on it.
Chen Zhaodi understood and was about to leave when she heard Granny Liu suddenly raise her voice.
"You're such a coward, you deserve to marry a promiscuous woman like Qi Fenglian and be cuckolded for life. If you don't want to do it, then I'll let Xiao Guai do it! All the money will go to Xiao Guai in the future! I'll pretend I don't have a son like you!"
Old Liu hesitated, "Mom, do you think the message Yujie gave us is true? I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, and we actually put all our savings into it, and the information is wrong, we might end up on the streets! It's not worth spending so much money to buy a house in the alley!"
Granny Liu cursed, "Are you even capable? The money is practically handed to you and you won't even lift a finger. Don't think that just because your sister is living in another city, she's not the biological mother of the eldest grandson of the Song family. Now that the child is grown up, he's thinking of his biological mother. Plus, there are us, his maternal relatives. If he doesn't help us, who else can he help? And you dare to doubt the truth of the news!"
Old Liu shrank back after being scolded, and argued a few words: "I'm just afraid of losing everything, even my underwear..."
"Pah, pah, pah!" Granny Liu spat several times. "Your nephew risked a lot to deliver the message, hoping our family would get rich. If you don't dare to do anything, then get out of here. Even if Xiao Guai and I come, you won't get a share of the money!"
Granny Liu gave an example: "Look how wealthy the Chang family is now. They have big bosses, small bosses, professors, painters, and they study abroad. They get all the good things. Back then, when Chen Zhaodi and her sister-in-law were working in the shop, so many people were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. Well, they didn't get to make a fool of themselves, and they've risen to prominence!"
Granny Liu waved her hand excitedly: "Didn't the newspapers say that only the first person to dare to try something new can make money!"
Liu Laoguai responded, "Mom, I'll listen to you. Let's make our family rich together and get rid of that unfaithful woman, Qi Fenglian!"
The Liu family mother and son continued talking, but Chen Zhaodi had no intention of listening anymore.
Liu Yujie and the Song family—these keywords were etched into her mind like living signboards, carrying significant weight. If the news came from here, she would have to make some careful plans.
Chen Zhaodi thought even more deeply about it. Chang Meihua's in-laws had extensive connections, and Chang Meihua knew a lot about everything from trivial matters to major issues like children's schooling and adults' jobs and housing.
Old Man Chang has been staying at Chang Meihua's house for the past few months, so he might have known about the situation in advance and started making plans in secret.
Chen Zhaodi thought about it more and more and felt that it made a lot of sense, so she walked home quickly.
Standing on the wall of the Liu family's house, Liu Xiaoguai silently watched Chen Zhaodi run home like a rocket, and immediately jumped down excitedly.
Clap your hands: "Grandma, Dad, this is sure to work!"
The young widow whom Liu Xiaoguai brought back from the countryside used to be involved in swindling and cheating. When they were in the countryside, Liu Xiaoguai often mentioned the Chang family's affairs with envy, which the young widow remembered. Later, she gave Liu Xiaoguai an idea.
Since others have money and I don't, why not put in more effort to set a trap and get the money? Then I'll become rich!
Old Liu smugly rolled up his sleeves: "Mom, wasn't my acting alright? That pathetic look couldn't be more real, Chen Zhaodi was sure to believe it!"
Granny Liu scoffed, "What good are you? I'm the only one who's useful. If I hadn't yelled at her a few times, Chen Zhaodi would have left without even looking back after taking out the trash!"
The Liu family mother and son started arguing, while Liu Xiaoguai stood aside, fantasizing about the wonderful life he would have after swindling money from the Chang family. Maybe he could even get a new wife.
After all, a young widow who has been used by others can never compare to a virgin.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhaodi rushed home, but after a flurry of activity, she still couldn't figure out what to do. She had to stop what she was doing and think it over carefully.
Demolition.
The Liu family received the news from the Song family and planned to spend more money to buy the neighbors' houses, hoping to get rich quick.
Chang Meihua must have known something, otherwise she wouldn't have taken Old Man Chang into her home.
Therefore, her immediate priority is to contact Zhou Hongyu, who will definitely be able to play a huge role in this matter.
Zhou Hongyu is much smarter than her, and she and Zhou Hongyu are on the same side!
