Ten minutes later, Wu Qiuyue walked out of the housing management department, feeling dizzy.
Looking at the letter of introduction in her hand, she still can't believe that she got the house so easily.
On the way back to the workshop, Huang Hua saw her absent-minded look and couldn't help but ask her what was wrong.
"Qiuyue, what's wrong with you? How come you went out for a while and left your soul behind!"
"Oh, it's nothing." Wu Qiuyue finally came to her senses and said in a low voice.
"Team Leader Huang, let me tell you a secret, I just got a room, the one that used to be the old lady's in the backyard, you should know that."
"Really?" Huang Hua was also surprised, but then she realized that they must have used connections.
Seeing that no one was around, her gossipy nature was piqued, so she asked in a low voice.
"Was it Ji Guo's cousin who helped?"
Wu Qiuyue nodded hastily, everything understood without words…
It was noon soon. After lunch, Wu Qiuyue borrowed a bicycle and quickly rode to the street office.
Although the staff of the Housing Management Section of the Subdistrict Office had finished their meal, it was not yet time for them to start work.
Fortunately, Wu Qiuyue had acquaintances who helped her complete the property registration smoothly, and she received the documents and keys.
Only when she received the property certificate did she truly feel relieved, and a radiant smile appeared on her face.
...
As evening fell and the sun set, Aunt Chen, holding a child in her arms and accompanied by several other children, waited at the door early in the morning.
These children included those from Zheng'an's family, Zheng Dong's family, and their own family.
Because my second aunt was at home cooking, the work was all left to Aunt Chen.
Yan Bugui, who was also guarding the gate, looked at Aunt Chen with disdain.
"Aunt Chen is babysitting someone else's child again."
Hearing Yan Bugui's sarcastic remarks, Aunt Chen snorted coldly and didn't even bother to acknowledge him.
Like drinking water, only the person drinking knows whether it is hot or cold. Although she has given a lot to the Sun family over the years, her family has received even more.
From the three years of natural disasters, to my daughter-in-law's job, including my son becoming a team leader in the steel rolling mill, and now to the allocation of housing.
If you think about it carefully, did her family suffer a loss?
The answer is definitely no!
It's a shame that Old Man Yan, who's known as a master of the abacus, couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
"Pah! I'm the biggest idiot, and I'm treating everyone else like idiots." Aunt Chen cursed silently in her heart.
At this time, the workers began to leave work one after another. Yan Bugui quickly got into character. In order to gain some advantage, he would flatter and fawn over anyone who was carrying something.
...
"Hey! Xiaoshan, what day is it today? Why did you buy a chicken?"
"Hey! Uncle Yan, my wife is pregnant again, I'm buying her a chicken to help her recover."
Chen Xiaoshan replied cheerfully as he walked inside, fully aware of what Yan Bugui was up to.
But this is a live chicken, you can't just pluck a few feathers for him, can you?
Yan Bugui knew that this wool was not easy to fleece, but he was still unwilling to give up. He quickly took a few steps forward and stopped Chen Xiaoshan.
"Xiaoshan, you just got back and you must be tired after a long day. Why don't you ask your aunt to kill a chicken for you and bring it over to you in a bit?"
Seeing Yan Bugui's persistent pestering, Chen Xiaoshan was completely speechless, so his tone wasn't very friendly.
"No need for you to worry about that. I need to raise these chickens for a couple more days. See you later!"
With that, Chen Xiaoshan bypassed Yan Bugui and headed straight for the backyard.
Aunt Chen watched the whole shameless scene and felt a surge of satisfaction. "You were just making fun of me, now it's my turn to make fun of you!"
Just then, a chicken pooped, and Aunt Chen had an idea.
"Uncle Yan, you're really kind-hearted. See the ground? While it's still warm, why don't you shovel it back up? I think you can use it to fertilize the flowers or something."
"You...? Unreasonable." Yan Bugui said angrily and walked into the courtyard.
Aunt Chen thought he had driven him away in anger, but she never expected that this shameless old man would actually take a shovel home, shovel up the chicken droppings, and use them to fertilize his flowers.
A moment later, after cleaning up the chicken droppings, Yan Bugui returned to the doorway.
This time, however, the two were in sync and neither of them started arguing; they each did their own thing.
A while later, Wang Aifang returned home first. When she saw her aunt holding her youngest son, she quickly ran over.
"Auntie, you've worked so hard, let me hold Uncle Bao!"
"Alright! This kid's obedient, here you go."
When Aunt Chen saw her niece return, she didn't stand on ceremony and handed the baby boy to her niece.
The two continued chatting. Wang Aifang was a little puzzled. Her aunt usually didn't like to stand guard at the door. What was wrong with her today?
However, she didn't ask, because her cousin-in-law had returned and seemed quite happy.
Seeing her daughter-in-law's expression, Aunt Chen was overjoyed, guessing that the house deal was done.
But despite her joy, she still had to ask, "Qiuyue, how is it?"
"Mom, it's done, look."
As she spoke, Wu Qiuyue excitedly took out the house certificate and keys from her cloth bag and handed them to Aunt Chen.
Now that the property certificate has been processed, she no longer needs to hide it; after tonight, everyone will know anyway.
Aunt Chen can't read, but she recognizes the property certificate; it's exactly the same as the one in her house.
"Great! Great! From today onwards, our house will never be so crowded again."
Only then did Wang Aifang realize why her aunt had come to the door.
She had seen it clearly just now: the old lady's room in the backyard had been given to her aunt's family.
No wonder Auntie was so happy!
Wang Aifang was also happy for her aunt's family, and immediately congratulated them, saying, "Congratulations, Aunt! It's great that you've finally been allocated a house."
"What kind of house will we get?" Yan Bugui and the other man hadn't spoken because of what had just happened, but when they heard about the house, they quickly came closer.
When Aunt Chen saw that Yan Bugui was shamelessly coming closer again, she didn't give him a friendly look and shook the property certificate in her hand a couple of times.
"Can't you understand? I can't read, but can't you either? The old lady's house in the backyard was allocated to my family. This is proof."
After finishing her sentence, Aunt Chen led her family into the courtyard.
Yan Bugui was left alone at the door, still in a daze.
"The house I liked is gone." Yan Bugui was having trouble accepting this fact.
Originally, he was thinking of renting the house first to achieve actual ownership, and then making further plans.
But only one day later, the house was gone, and it wasn't rented out; it was given to the Chen family.
This is crucial; the written agreement clearly states that there is no way to salvage the situation.
Yan Bugui wasn't stupid; after all, he had been a teacher. After racking his brains for a while, he figured out the key point.
The Chen family doesn't have this ability; only the Sun family does.
Should we report it again?
Yan Bugui was very conflicted.
