How to choose
This afternoon meeting has been going on for two hours. The people in the audience were a little noisy at the beginning, but later they listened obediently. They also knew to raise their hands to ask questions, and they asked one by one, and the people in charge answered them one by one.
The compensation regulations for demolition were clearly organized, and 500 copies of the compensation regulations were printed, with almost every household receiving one.
They also said that the villagers should take it back and have a look first, and then come back to discuss the signing of the contract four days later. The villagers were also reminded not to take the opportunity to build anything. They will arrange for professional personnel to conduct an assessment, and from today on, all new buildings will not be counted. And they only give three days to consider. If the whole village fails to sign the agreement after four days, the demolition project will be invalidated.
Many people felt a pang in their hearts when they heard that the "demolition project was cancelled."
Although the name of Cheng Group is not known to everyone in Southern Province, people in Rong City have heard of it many times. Since the reform and opening up, the Cheng Group has been developing step by step in Fuzhou City. They have been present in many industries and have donated money to build schools and repair roads. Even for the road from Nancheng District to Ping County, which passes through Qiaoxi Village, the Cheng Group donated half of the road construction money.
If such a large enterprise has given up on the project, can we still expect other companies to take over? People also have to evaluate whether this project is worth doing!
The village head and village cadres also said a lot when they went to inform everyone yesterday that it was a good thing that a developer came to develop the village this time. If the government came to demolish it, they might not be able to afford to demolish Qiaoxi Village.
The main thing is, why would the government demolish them? The focus of Nancheng District - the industrial park and science and technology park have already been planned. As for the legendary new railway station, some say it will be built at the junction of Dongcheng District and Beicheng District. It is impossible to build it in Nancheng District, let alone in Qiaoxi Village.
Chen Jin was still fanning himself, his eyes fixed on the woman on the stage.
"How old is your cousin? She looks very powerful." She is a strong woman who seems to be decisive and efficient.
“Maybe 29 or 30.” Shen Baichuan thought to himself: If it’s not powerful, can it be killed directly from Hong Kong?
"In this generation of the Cheng family, my cousins are all very capable, but my cousins are all useless."
I originally thought that the cousin who came back from abroad from my second uncle's family was pretty good. After all, every time I returned to the old house, the old man often mentioned the "achievements" my cousin had made outside. Now it seems that it is more likely that he was just bragging. The old man wouldn't be exaggerating, so it was my second uncle and cousin who were exaggerating.
"Is that so? What about your cheap brother? He's not that great either."
"Tsk, he's been spoiled by his parents." Apart from knowing how to please the old man and his father, he doesn't know anything else. You position yourself as a "pet". Do you really think that the old man will hand over everything at home to a "pet"? Only a young master like his father who is ignorant of worldly affairs would think that his youngest son is innocent and straightforward...
It was almost six o'clock when the meeting finally ended.
In other words, the person speaking at the top unilaterally announced the end, and people came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
The people left, but they left behind a delegation of developers and a team of lawyers. Starting tomorrow, they will be stationed in the village together with the people from the demolition office.
"Third sister, do you want to go home or stay?" The eldest uncle was planning to go back, and he had no intention of coming again until Zhou Tian came to sign the contract. But they were worried about leaving her here alone.
Chen Jin was also very conflicted. He scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "I'd better go back. I didn't expect it to get to this point. I'll come back in a few days to watch the fun. No, I'll come back to sign the contract."
Uncle San sighed, "Who knows if they will be able to sign on Sunday? They are still thinking about continuing to negotiate terms. Listen, one family was able to get tens of millions in compensation, but they still said it was not enough and felt that they were at a loss compared to our village."
I’m just afraid that these people have too big an appetite and ask for an exorbitant price, and then other parties really cancel the project. That would be really fun. We have to do a good job of renting out the property.
"Not necessarily. There are still many people who are wavering. When the time comes, those who disagree will be visited by villagers to plead their case, and it will be difficult for them to disagree." If the villagers really want to force someone to move out quickly, they will do anything. If you meet someone who is angry, I really don’t know what he will do.
Chen Jin nodded in agreement and continued, "The current compensation plan is no different from the one we had when we demolished the houses. You can only choose between the two, either get the money or the house. They always focus on the houses with the most houses to be demolished, and don't think about the fact that the bulk of their compensation is not for the homesteads and buildings!"
"Yeah, they may not be able to calm down and think about this now. They will be fine after a few days of calming down."
After hearing Chen Jin say that she and Shen Baichuan were going back to the small western-style building, they told her to go back early and then left in the car.
"Shall we go too?"
"Wait a little longer, watch for a while before leaving."
If they didn't leave, Nie Rong wouldn't leave either. Anyway, he had rented a house in the village, so he wouldn't go back if it was too late.
When Old Man Liu came out, he looked very proud again and invited Chen Jin to his home for dinner. "Go around the village more often these days. If you don't come, and there's any other movement in the village, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Chen Jin rolled his eyes. "What's the fuss? You'd better stay calm and don't do stupid things. They're a big group. At worst, they won't demolish this place. But isn't that piece of land across the road owned by Qiaoxi Village? They can demolish that place too. You'll be happy if you find that you've done nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Liu and the people who were walking out heard what Chen Jin said, and their expressions became serious: Yes! The large area across the road is a vegetable garden, but it is not impossible to build a house there. Maybe they will really abandon Qiaoxi Village...
However, since these words were said by Chen Jin, they had to be more careful: Was he deliberately talking nonsense again?
Chen Jin didn't care about their ambiguous looks. He glanced at Liu Shisheng's family of four who were happy again and at his uncles and aunts who were looking around, wondering what they were thinking.
"Do you want the money or the house?"
"If you take money, you can get tens of millions. If you take houses, wow! You've made a killing. Even if it's a 100-square-meter house, you can get nearly 100 of them! With so many houses, you can get a whole building directly, and the rent you collect in the future will be quite a lot."
Old Liu waved his hand and said, "It's OK, not that much. I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it again."
He tried to be modest, but it was too much, and he couldn't help but grin.
Little did he know that his sons and daughters-in-law behind him were getting anxious: What else are you considering? !
"Of course we have to get the money. It sounds good to say that we will pay twice as much for the house, but they also said that they will build the house according to the specification of 2,000 yuan per square meter. It will take two or three years for the house to be built. Who knows what will happen in the future? It will cost money to get the money! We might as well buy a large flat in the city center. Dad, we can buy it and live together. We can also take care of you and mom in the future. With the remaining money, we can buy some shops or start a small business. It is better than waiting outside for two or three years in misery."
"That's right! Dad, if we want a house, we'll just have to take the two million yuan. We have a family, so we have to buy a house to live in, right? We have to make a living, right? In the past, we could collect rent and grow some crops to sell in the village. Now we can't live in the village anymore. What do we eat and drink when we have nothing to do?"
"Let me see, can we talk about it? We want half of the house and the rest in exchange for money?"
Chen Jin glanced at Liu Yiwu, the one who was the target of a disturbance last time. He looked like he was threatening to die, and now he still looked so unreliable.
"Do you think this is a vegetable market? You can name the price however you want. They've clearly stated that you can only choose one of the two options. There is no third option. If you don't want to demolish it, then forget it."
At this moment, no one had time to care about the tone of Chen Jin's voice. They just wanted to urge the old man to make a decision.
Although there were many people outside the ancestral hall, each family was discussing their own choice among themselves and had no time to care about other people's affairs. Even if they saw Liu Laogen and his family gathered together, they would just take a quick glance and then go back home.
No one, whether it was the three uncles or Liu Shisheng, wanted to choose a house. They all just wanted to take the money and be done with it.
Who would have thought that Old Man Liu, who often scolded Chen Jin for his "big mouth" in private, did not listen to his sons' opinions at the critical moment. Instead, he asked Chen Jin: "So which one do you think is better?"
Liu Shisheng met Chen Jin's half-smiley eyes, and his alarm bells rang. He hurriedly said, "Dad, what does Chen Jin know?! At this time, of course it's better to take the money. Money is real when it's in your hands. You and mom have worked hard for most of your life, and it's time to go to the city to enjoy life. Why don't you take the money and buy a big bungalow in a high-end community in the city to live in."
She didn't like to hear this.
Chen Jin chuckled and said, "What you said is really interesting. You know that the old man and the old lady have worked hard for most of their lives and they should go to the city to enjoy life. You, a filial son, have already become a city dweller. Why didn't you think of taking them to enjoy life? After you were sold out and became a city dweller, they still have to continue to do farm work in the village to collect rent to subsidize you, a city dweller. You are really filial. Filial piety has made you rich! So, why are you so active? You didn't pay for the house and you didn't do any work. You don't think that the things should be divided into five parts. You have two million out of ten million, right? How funny."
"They say that discord between children is due to the lack of virtue of the elderly. Old man, you can't be so partial. You will secretly subsidize your son in the city, and you will not care about your other sons who work hard with you in the village?"
Old man Liu was upset and didn't want to listen to Chen Jin's bad words, but what Chen Jin said might not be unreasonable: he did give a lot of subsidies to the fourth brother's family, but the fourth brother never thought of taking him and the old woman to live in the city for a few days over the years. After living there for a few days, his daughter-in-law even disliked him. Don't think he doesn't know.
"That's right! Dad, we have worked hard at home, even if we don't have any credit, right? There are four buildings in our house, which one didn't we three brothers work on? Isn't this labor considered money? We haven't calculated these things with you over the years. Normally, you can just subsidize the fourth brother a little, but if the demolition also counts the fourth brother, we might as well learn from the big cow family and go to the court to let them decide on the division of the family property."
"In the past, they acted like city dwellers, and would ignore our family when they came back. Now that our home has been demolished, they came here just because they smelled something." Second Aunt mocked, "Aren't you just trying to trick the old man into giving money to send one of us to study abroad? What great thing is that to bring honor to the family?! Ha! I've asked, and studying abroad costs hundreds of thousands a year. How much more money would it cost to stay for two or three years? People who go abroad to study will stay abroad and never come back. Who knows if they will recognize who their ancestors are after staying abroad for a long time?"
"Sister-in-law, you really hurt our hearts by saying that. Why did we ignore you?" Jiang Zijun frowned and said, "Studying abroad is a good thing. We will definitely come back to serve our motherland in the future! What you said..."
Chen Jin felt his teeth ache, "You came back to serve the motherland, but the motherland is afraid that you will hold them back."
"Who can't say nice things? You are so capable, you should study abroad at public expense. You don't even know about studying abroad at public expense, do you? You just want to spend the old man's money? It's not your own money, so you spend it casually, and you want to make millions just by talking."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Liu Yibei's mentality today was almost broken.
This morning they said that the distribution would be based on the number of people, but their family really has nothing to do with it! In the afternoon, we were told that we could get the money. After calculating, our family could get a little over 10 million. Ten million! She and her brother would only spend one million at most to study abroad, which is enough to support them! Just when we were happy, Chen Jin, the troublemaker, came again. She was determined to instigate grandpa and uncles not to give their family any money, right?
She really couldn't control her temper now. She didn't care about being polite and just wanted to fight with Chen Jin.
She rushed out so suddenly that no one could react. Shen Baichuan wanted to stop him, but failed because Chen Jin slapped him aside.
"I didn't mean to do that. She just had to rush towards me, so I subconsciously defended myself."
After slapping someone hard, Chen Jin, who had always been a civilized person, felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly got over it.
"Your grandfather came to us to ask for advice, but your father insisted on interrupting. I told you my thoughts, and now it's your turn to speak up?" Chen Jin snorted heavily, "Do you think I'm easy to bully? You're going crazy on me. I wonder if you got flattered in some corner of the city and got so angry that you think everyone here can tolerate your temper? If you go crazy on me again, I'll go to your yard and your school to promote your parents' love story. Are a thousand flyers enough? What color do you like? I'll print them in color and give them out. See if I can cure your madness!"
Liu Shisheng, Jiang Zijun and Liu Yinan, who were already furious, were poured a bucket of cold water. They had no doubt that Chen Jin would really make a colorful flyer to help them "promote".
In the compound where they live now, as well as Liu Yinan and Liu Yibei’s classmates and friends, they don’t know that Liu Shisheng is getting married for the second time, nor do they know about the “love story” between Liu Shisheng and Jiang Zijun.
I could only hug Liu Yinan and ask her to calm down. Why bother to mess with this lunatic? Who can escape unscathed after facing her?
"Cry! Cry louder! Hey, the one in front, lend me your loudspeaker and let her cry into it. The sound isn't loud enough. Didn't you have lunch? You're crying so loudly? Come on, cry louder!"
Nie Rong wanted to laugh, but he felt that he still had to do business in this village, so he couldn't laugh. He lowered his head and stared at his shoes. Oh, he brushed his leather shoes so bright today, so he was so happy!
Shen Baichuan glanced at him, then turned back to look at Chen Jin silently, holding down Daju who wanted to jump down. He also patted its paw and gave it a warning glare: What's the matter? Do you want to go up and help?
It's so small that it deserves to be stepped on.
Besides, it would be a hindrance if he went up to help, and Chen Jin wouldn’t be able to show his power.
Old Liu really wanted to slap himself now. He was so mean that he had to ask Chen Jin how to choose!
When he turned around, he realized that there were dozens of people standing around, all watching the excitement in their house. They were also whispering to each other.
"Liu Laosi is not a very kind person. I am his brother, and I am not convinced. Why should I give him a share?"
"Look, when this troublemaker gets mad, even three cows can't stop him. And you're still thinking of introducing her to a date. Do you believe she'll find someone to throw manure at your house?"
"It's so lively, what happened? Did Rao Shijin and Liu Laogen's family have a fight? Why? Could it be that Liu Laogen wanted to take over her house?"
"...In a society ruled by law, you can just rob people if you want? The deputy chief of the police station is her uncle from the village, and Lawyer Nie from the law firm is her friend. Hey, I heard that the troublemaker knows someone from the demolition office. Don't believe it? Why else do you think she can always catch up with the demolition? Someone must have passed on the news to her."
"Really? I saw her chatting and laughing with Director Jiang from the Demolition Office. She must know someone from the Demolition Office. How do you think she got the connection? She's just a college counselor..."
"What do you mean there's only one university counselor? Some of my former classmates might have been assigned to the demolition office. What profession is lacking?"
"You're right. Studying is still the best thing. No wonder Liu Laogen likes the twins from Liu Laosi's family, they are all good at studying. Not to mention, Liu Laosi's three children are all good at studying... Why do you have to pull my clothes to obey me? Oh my god!"
When she turned around, she saw Rogue Jin holding a loud speaker towards her, almost hitting her in the face.
Chen Jin's voice was so loud through the loud speaker that it almost made people faint. "With his rubbish genes, he couldn't give birth to someone as smart and good-looking as me. I got it from my mom!"
Everyone covered their ears and wanted to leave, not wanting to hear the evil sound.
Chen Jin was still holding a loud speaker. "Ask me a hundred times, I will always say the same thing, take care of your own family affairs, don't ask me too much. Do you think you can transfer the conflict to me by asking me? If you have money but don't know how to spend it, you can give it to me. The country is short of money everywhere. I have worked hard to help donate the money and do good deeds for your family."
"Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not give money to someone who is usually unfilial and only shows filial piety at critical moments! Lululu, if you have the guts to glare at me, then you have the guts to ask the Demolition Office to move your household registration back!"
"If the old man doesn't share the money with you, you won't come to me again, right? Oh, do you really have this idea? No way? No way? You can be so shameless, I am also short of experience. You do it on the first day, so don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth. Tell me in advance what color flyers you like, I don't mind this little money."
"It's pointless to run away when you can't win the argument. You're a university professor, but you can't even speak." They are no match for the teachers in the Chinese Department of Nanjing University, who can talk endlessly about professional knowledge and can curse people one sentence at a time, without any swear words and in an elegant manner.
She just suffers from her lack of education and has nothing to do with elegance.
It was really exhausting to say so many words in one breath. "I am so tired of talking so much. I took a day off but didn't get anything done. It was a waste of a day's salary."
"Hey, whose loudspeaker is this? Oh, it's you. Thank you, Auntie Pang. You're the only honest person in the whole Qiaoxi Village." He still knew some sense and beat people with a bang. The red marks on Liu Shisheng's face had not completely disappeared yet, but he was generous enough to help her borrow the loudspeaker.
In short, he is the best man in Qiaoxi Village.
Chen Jin turned around and was about to drive with a refreshed look on his face, “Shen Baichuan, let’s go, let’s go home!”
Nie Rong subconsciously wanted to follow, but when Shen Baichuan glanced at him, he reacted and laughed. I almost wanted to follow Sister Jin to watch the fun again.
Fortunately, Sister Jin is not from their compound. If she and Sister Yun got together, wouldn’t they blow up the compound? !
Well, he will definitely come to watch the fun on Sunday.
"Lawyer Nie, Lawyer Mo said he couldn't get through to you on the phone. If you're okay now, please call him back."
"Oh! Oh no! I forgot something important!" Nie Rong slapped his head.
