Well, they haven't even taken a liking to it yet.
Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, knowing that his small side room had been saved.
As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. Given the Jia family's situation, it would probably take forever to repair the house on their own. Living in this small side room for a day or two is fine, but if they live there for half a year or a year, it will be troublesome to take it back.
Moreover, by then Jia Zhangshi will have been released from the labor camp, and there will definitely be a lot of wrangling. Even if we can get the house back, it will take some effort.
So when Jia Dongxu complained about the small size of their side room, Yan Bugui was not only not angry, but almost burst out laughing.
"Oh my, you've actually chosen one!"
As expected, Xu Damao jumped out and pointed to the chicken coop in front of the Jia family's house, saying, "If you think the side room is too small, you can live in the chicken coop. Although it's not spacious, it's open-air and well-ventilated, and it's also convenient for you to repair your own house."
"Xu Damao, get out of here! It's not that I dislike the side room, it's just that it's too small. It can barely fit a bed. How are the three of us supposed to sleep in there?" Jia Dongxu grinned at Xu Damao. "If you can't help, then shut up. You're always causing trouble. People who don't know better would think you're the big boss in charge of the courtyard."
Although Jia Dongxu was used to Xu Damao's targeting, he was still furious every time.
The main problem is that Xu Damao is always picking fights too often. He doesn't miss any opportunity and has to say something to him.
So what if I made you marry a widow back then? It's been so long, why is yours still so small, Xu Damao?
But Xu Damao shrugged dismissively and said to the others in the courtyard, "Did you hear that? Jia Dongxu said that those who can't help should shut up. So those of us who can't help should just stay out of the way and go home."
"Xu Damao, you should say less."
Liu Haizhong turned around and scolded, "I don't care if you provoke Jia Dongxu, but don't sabotage my meeting. What's the point of holding a meeting if everyone leaves?"
Don't I, the person in charge, have any dignity?
After reprimanding Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong frowned and looked at Jia Dongxu: "Jia Dongxu, you know the situation in our courtyard. If you don't want to live in the side room of Old Yan's house, it won't be easy to find another empty house."
"Why don't you tidy up the house first and make do with living here?"
"The roof is leaking, how can we make do?" Jia Dongxu pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling that Liu Haizhong had no good intentions, actually wanting him to live in the burned-down house.
Although the bed inside wasn't affected, it was covered in a layer of dust, and the room was damp and smelled of smoke, so it definitely wouldn't be habitable for a day or two.
Seeing that Jia Dongxu was still unwilling, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but touch his chin.
It's still a hot potato.
If it weren't for the worry that Yi Zhonghai would interfere and pretend to be a good guy, Liu Haizhong wouldn't have wanted to hold this hospital-wide meeting.
But once it's actually opened, the problems won't be easy to solve.
Putting aside Jia Dongxu's pickiness, Yan Bugui's side is unlikely to be willing to give up the side room.
"The house was burned like that, there was really no way to make do."
Just as Liu Haizhong was cursing Yi Zhonghai in his heart, Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and walked out.
“The side room isn’t suitable either. That room is too small. It’s difficult for a family of three to even turn over. So it’s not suitable. I suggest that whichever family in our courtyard has more rooms can vacate one for the Jia family to stay in temporarily.”
Um?
Some people in the courtyard were unhappy when they heard Yi Zhonghai say that.
Why should those with more rooms have to give them up?
Why don't you, Yi Zhonghai, give up your house?
Yi Zhonghai seemed to sense the dissatisfaction of some people, but he continued unhurriedly, "Of course, they can't stay for free. The Jia family has to pay some rent. It doesn't need to be too much, just two or three yuan a month."
Upon hearing about the rent, those who had been unhappy about it calmed down a bit.
This seems acceptable; three yuan a month is enough to improve the family's meals a few times.
The only problem is that the Jia family is too annoying, and not everyone will necessarily agree to rent a house to them.
"What the hell? I still need to pay rent?"
When Jia Dongxu heard that he would have to pay money, he became unhappy. He needed money to repair the house, to buy new furniture, and to eat and drink at home. If he had to pay rent to someone else, it would be the death of him.
"Then what do you want to do?" Liu Haizhong asked impatiently.
This won't work, that won't work, you might as well just live in a chicken coop, or at worst scrape together some money to build a shed for your chicken coop.
"Let's disperse, let's disperse. Jia Dongxu has a mental illness, there's no point in talking to him." Xu Damao took the opportunity to stir up trouble.
Jia Dongxu glanced around at everyone present, finally fixing his gaze on Chen Jun.
Chen Jun raised an eyebrow, sensing that someone was already eager to get a beating.
The others followed Jia Dongxu's gaze and couldn't help but grin when they realized he was staring at Chen Jun.
No, is Jia Dongxu itching for a beating?
“I want to stay in Chen Jun’s house. They have a lot of houses, so please make room for us,” Jia Dongxu said matter-of-factly.
The Chen family has two houses: one is their old house, and the other is a new house that Chen Jun bought with his own money, which is also the new house for the couple.
Chen Jun spent a lot of money on this new house. He not only had it renovated, but also bought a lot of furniture. Recently, he even installed a bathroom, so he no longer needs to go to a public toilet.
Jia Dongxu really liked this.
"Heh, do you even deserve it?" Chen Jun sneered, thinking that Jia Dongxu might really be mentally ill, otherwise how could he dare to say such a thing? He must have something wrong with his brain.
Am I worthy?
Jia Dongxu was taken aback. Was this a sign of disrespect?
"My house caught fire all because of you. Not only will you not pay me any compensation, but you won't even give up the house?"
Do you have any conscience?
Ouch?
Chen Jun almost laughed at Jia Dongxu's outrageous remarks.
"Jia Dongxu, do you think that just because you're mentally ill, I won't dare to hit you? If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll break your mouth in half!"
"Who's talking nonsense?" Jia Dongxu felt he was in the right, so he craned his neck to argue with Chen Jun: "My son ate too much at your wedding banquet. If my wife hadn't taken him to the hospital, how could our house have caught fire?"
"Ultimately, you should be responsible for this!"
Good heavens!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jun wanted to exclaim, "Wow!"
"I've never seen such a shameless person!" Chen Jun couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that Jia Dongxu's shamelessness had reached the heavens, daring to say any nonsense.
Xu Damao, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He pointed and started cursing: "Jia Dongxu, do you have no shame? You put your son out there to eat at the banquet for free, and then you cause trouble for the host afterwards. If Old Jia knew you did this, he would drag you down in the middle of the night."
