Aunt Ji said no. She asked the local police station, the neighborhood committee, and the housing management office for help; accepting the items would be a mistake.
Five days later, Aunt Ji collected the remaining rent for the second half of the year.
Collecting rent is never a smooth process. It turns out they never paid even two yuan a month.
Now even those living in the back seats are unhappy. Because they used to not have to spend two yuan at all!
At first, they tried to renege on their promise. But when the police station, the neighborhood committee, and the housing management office all arrived, the residents became a little scared.
Aunt Ji isn't in charge of this area, so she doesn't need to worry about her image.
"Let me make this clear: three days, just three days. I've called the police station, the housing management office, and the neighborhood committee—all of you—to be my witnesses. The house is mine. Either pay rent or move out. Don't even think about living here for free!"
If anyone doesn't move out, I'll throw your things out in three days, and I won't be responsible if they get damaged.
"Because your things were in my house, I have the right to throw them out..."
Aunt Ji sighed, "It's always easier to get things done if you know someone anywhere."
I know them all well, and even though they didn't have time, I managed to get them to come. That's how I managed to gather people from all three departments.
"They were afraid because all three departments were present."
We visited five places in total.
With housing so scarce right now, Aunt Ji knows a lot of people, and many people want to rent a house from her!
So the house was rented out immediately.
August is almost over, so I'll waive the rent. There are still four months left in the year.
(3 main rooms * 5 + 4 side rooms * 4 + 2 ear rooms * 3 + 3 back rooms * 2) * 4\u003d172 fast, two courtyards make 344.
Aunt Ji sighed, "Buying a yard is quite profitable."
Aunt Ji made it sound simple, but it's not that easy. If it were that easy, the original homeowner wouldn't have been forced to sell the house.
One is Aunt Ji, a kind-hearted person who helps anyone in need. People give her face, and besides, it's also because of her younger brother.
Song Yan inquired carefully about who had helped, vowing to repay the favor himself.
Song Yan was very generous to those who helped him. "The rent will go up in the future, it will definitely be more expensive than this. Buying a house is a good idea. Aunt Ji, if you have the money, you should buy one too."
Aunt Ji laughed: "Girl! Where did your auntie get so much money? Besides, I'm a little scared..."
What Song Yan was afraid of was something he could figure out.
“Aunt Ji, let’s not talk about whether you’re scared or not. You need to save money to buy a house, right? You should try to save money!” Song Yan said.
“Besides people like your godfather, people like us, I’m retired and only get twenty-odd yuan a month, your Uncle Ding gets forty-odd yuan. I only earn ten-odd yuan at the neighborhood office, so all in all, it’s just over eighty yuan. We can live comfortably on food, drink, and shelter, but buying such an expensive house is out of the question.” Aunt Ji had heard from Song Yan that her godfather had come back to make up for many years of lost wages, and since his salary was high, buying a house wouldn’t be a problem.
"Aunt Ji, just tell me if your family wants to make money or not?"
"If you say you want to make money, I'll help Uncle Ding find some work." Song Yan not only wanted to use Uncle Ding, but he also heard that Uncle Ding's youngest son, who had taken over Uncle Ding's job, was quite skilled. Song Yan also wanted to win him over.
No need to rush. That job last month took the old man half a month to finish. He's just really bored and deliberately slowed things down to keep himself entertained, that's why it took so long.
Thirty yuan in half a month, sixty yuan a month. That's seven hundred and twenty yuan a year. Add that to what you have, and then save up a bit more. Buying a house isn't impossible!
Aunt Ji slapped her forehead. What was she thinking? Where did all this work come from? "By the way, is this job reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable. If anyone sees my Uncle Ding working, just say you're helping me. Nobody can say anything about it," Song Yan assured him.
Aunt Ji nodded in agreement.
Song Yan likes jade, especially since jade can be nurtured better in her space, which makes her like it even more.
Wei Aiguo has brought back jade artifacts and raw stones several times already. There are so many of them, big and small, and they've been kept in his space ever since.
Song Yan planned to give Grandpa Ding a piece every few days so he could carve something. If Grandpa Ding was too busy, he would definitely ask his son for help.
Song Yan plans to start collecting jade artifacts, regardless of size.
What will she sell in the jade shop in the future?
When Wei Aiguo brought the raw stone back, Yueyue saw it and asked what it was.
Song Yan said that he collected them for fun, and that there might be beautiful stones inside after peeling off the grayish skin.
You can even peel the skin off a stone! Yueyue was incredibly surprised. She said her mother was lying.
Song Yan said it was true. That's how she got that beautiful bracelet on her wrist.
Yueyue sought answers from her great-grandfather, because he was a very knowledgeable person.
Yueyue insisted on having a stone and wanted to use it to peel off the skin.
Song Yan found her a small piece of land, and then Lao Zeng took her to find Grandpa Ding.
After peeling off the outer layer, this stone turned out to be a very beautiful high-quality violet.
When he saw good materials, Grandpa Ding started thinking about what he could make with them.
This piece of jade is long and narrow. He said it could yield three four-bean jade pieces, one four-bean jade piece, one three-bean jade piece, and one two-bean jade piece.
Four beans in a string bean symbolize peace and safety throughout the four seasons; three beans represent passing the imperial examinations three times in a row, bringing good fortune, prosperity, and longevity; two beans symbolize the safety of mother and child, brimming with auspiciousness and blessings.
Yueyue was stunned. She saw the landscape plaque that Grandpa Ding was carving. It was so beautiful. Weren't the green beans beautiful too?
"Grandpa Ding, can you make some for me? I want green beans."
"My mom makes really delicious soup. I'll bring you some soup next time, okay?" Yueyue's watery eyes were full of pleading, and Grandpa Ding simply couldn't refuse.
This material is nice, but kids don't know much about it. Shouldn't you ask an adult?
Grandpa nodded in agreement. It's just a piece of jade; what's wrong with Yueyue liking it?
"When will it be better?" Yueyue asked eagerly.
It's not something too complicated. "It can be done in a few days," said Grandpa Ding.
"How many days is it? Tell me! I'll count the number of times the sun rises, and I'll know." Grandpa Ding was powerless against Yueyue's dark eyes.
"Two days, just two days!" Grandpa Ding held up two fingers.
After they left, Aunt Ji slapped Uncle Ding. "You old fool, such fine material needs to be meticulously crafted. A slight mistake and you won't get even three pieces. Can you finish it in two days?"
“My son has a day off tomorrow, so I told him not to go anywhere and to work for me,” said Grandpa Ding.
That's how Yueyue helped her mother get Uncle Ding's son involved.
