The chattering sound at the door quickly attracted the attention of the people inside. At this time, the side door was opened, revealing the head of a middle-aged woman:
"Go away, go away. This is a private residence, not a scenic spot. No photos are allowed."
Jin Caifeng glanced at the woman and immediately said with a forced smile:
"It's my second brother's wife, right? Why do we need other people's permission to take photos in our own home?"
Shi A Tiao, who was inside the door, took a look, then took a closer look. His heart skipped a beat, and a smile immediately appeared on his face:
"So it's my eldest brother and his wife. Oh, these are the eldest and second oldest, right? The third oldest is here too, hehe~~~"
Shi A Tiao had met Lin Sanqi. It was fine before when her nephew came back alone, but now that she saw her eldest brother and his family coming back, she knew that things were going to be troublesome.
In the words of Guo Degang: The person who wronged you knows how wronged you are better than you do.
By the same token, people who feel guilty know where they feel guilty, but they just pretend not to feel guilty.
Lin Sanqi knew that his father and eldest brother would not argue, so he spurred his horse forward and said with a smile:
"Second Aunt, when I first came back, I said that our family would live back home. Now we're all back. Look at my eldest brother's family, my second brother's family, and I'm married too. And this is my nephew and niece, Jiageng and Zhenzhen, who call me Second Aunt..."
The two children were very polite and unaware of the dispute between their elders, so they quickly bowed:
"Hello, Second Madam~~~"
Shi A Tiao felt a little embarrassed and quickly agreed: "Okay, okay..."
Lin Sanqi continued with the Yin-Yang Dao:
"Second Aunt, our family is in such a plight. We've all been evicted from the capital and sent back home. I'm not going to lie, but you have to give up this house, right? We can't have a home and still have to sleep on the streets, right?"
Lin Duzhong also came up at this time:
"No matter how hard you try, this doesn't make sense. The host was kicked out, but the guests took over the property. We should ask the government for justice! Let's go in and see what's happened to our own house first."
Lin Kushen and Lin Gancao, father and son, started arguing as soon as they heard the sound at the door, and both sighed helplessly.
They both think that family disgrace should not be made public, but this kind of conciliatory mentality has actually emboldened some people.
Shi A Tiao knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to stop the eldest wife's family from entering the small Western-style building.
As a result, as soon as she entered the yard, Jin Caifeng was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The original style of the small Western-style building is oriental, with a traditional brick and wood structure. It looks very grand and clean.
But nowadays, because there are more residents in small Western-style buildings, everyone wants to be the king of the mountain and act independently, so your family occupies this room and my family occupies this main room.
Kitchens and toilets were built in a haphazard manner, and it was impossible for several families to share one staircase, so they built their own stairs.
Anyway, the whole villa was filled with smoke and a mess. A high-end villa has turned into a slum.
Not only did Jin Caifeng's blood pressure rise after watching this, even Lin Kucan shook his head and thought to himself that it was really outrageous.
Jin Caifeng was so angry that her hands were shaking. She pointed at her own home and asked:
"Second sister-in-law, when our family left Huadu, we never told you to live here. You moved in without my consent or our parents' consent. I won't say anything, I'll just lend it to you for a few days.
But look at the way this little house has been ruined by you. Are there any guests like you? What kind of behavior are you doing? Who gave you the right to turn my house into this mess?
Jin Caifeng started cursing, and the other members of the Lin family who were in the house came out.
A young woman came out and rudely accused him:
"Aunt, this is a new society now, not the old society when you were the landlords. The new society emphasizes equality for all. Your family occupies such a large building, but would rather leave it empty than let us working people live there. Do you know what kind of behavior you are?"
Jin Caifeng became even more angry: "What kind of behavior is this? You broke into someone's house and occupied my home. What kind of behavior is this? In the new society, you are allowed to rob someone else's home and live in it yourself?"
Lin Duzhong no longer cared about family affection and asked fiercely:
"You're the fifth sister, right? Then you should know that this has been my home since I was a child. Where did your family live originally? On Datong Road, right? Let's not talk about anything else. Just go back to where you came from. You're not welcome in our house!"
"Oh, second brother, how can you talk like that?"
"What do you mean by that? If you don't listen to nice words, then you can only say unpleasant words."
"Brother, you don't even care about your second child!"
The relatives who occupied the yard had already united their front and were obviously unwilling to leave. They no longer cared about family disgrace and started arguing with each other.
Pan Ye quietly asked Lin Sanqi, "Whose relative is this? Why are you accusing me right away?"
Lin Sanqi shook his head. "I don't know her either. Judging from her tone, she must be one of my cousins. Judging by her ability to put names on people, she must be well-educated and very professional."
In fact, Lin Sanqi just thought of something, that is, he might not be able to keep his own small Western-style building.
Because there will be a unified policy later, all houses will be nationalized.
For example, the famous Xiguan mansions in Guangzhou, Liang Zizhen’s Mansion, Deng Gongbao’s Mansion, and Zhong Family Garden were all private residences in the past, but were later all taken over by the state.
It is said that after the reform and opening up, later generations were unable to completely recover the property rights and continued to open it as a tourist attraction.
The property rights of the Lin family's small Western-style building will probably not remain in Lin Kucan's hands any longer. It will definitely be nationalized and then the housing will be distributed uniformly.
This is where the problem lies. If the houses are distributed uniformly, outsiders will be allowed to move in and the state will collect rent, just like the courtyard houses in Beijing.
There are already so many families living in the small Western-style building. When the community allocates the space, based on the principle of "less trouble is worse than more", they will definitely allow this group of people to continue living there.
I'm afraid that this fifth sister must also know about this policy, so she is fearless.
Even if the property rights returned to Lin Kucan after the reform and opening up, the tenants could not be driven away, which meant that the property rights were invalid.
Lin Sanqi held his chin and began to think about how to break the deadlock. He could drive away the current relatives and prevent them from occupying the small western-style building forever, and at the same time ensure that the property rights would return to Lin Kushen after the reform and opening up.
This matter still needs to rely on official connections to be accomplished.
Suddenly, Lin Sanqi thought of the kindergarten he attended when he was a child. It was said that it was also converted from a private villa in the Republic of China period. Maybe he could consider this idea.
…
…
At night, at the guesthouse, Jin Caifeng was so angry about the quarrel during the day that she couldn't eat.
The whole family was in a bad mood. When Fu Muxiang saw that her property had been occupied and she could not get it back, she was so heartbroken that she burst into tears.
Lin Duzhong suggested at this time: "How about we ask grandpa and grandma to come out and drive them away?"
Lin Sanqi shook his head. "It's useless. Grandpa and grandma didn't agree to them moving in in the first place. How could they listen to the old people for the sake of the house?"
Jin Caifeng was furious again and wiped her tears with her handkerchief:
"Qizi, you have so many tricks up your sleeve. Come up with a plan quickly. I can't stand this. I won't go to Hong Kong until our old house is taken care of. I'm going to fight them to the end!"
Lin Sanqi was waiting for these words:
"Don't worry, Mom. I do have a way. If you trust me, I can definitely help you!"
Fu Muxiang stopped crying when she heard this and asked anxiously, "Little brother, we definitely believe you. Tell us your plan."
Lin Sanqi looked at the "master" and Doctor Lin said:
"Dad, if you believe me, I'm telling you now that the ownership of our little Western-style building will go through a turmoil. By then, all the houses in the country will be publicly owned, and no one will be able to hold the ownership.
I discussed this with Mr. Fu from Dongsi 2nd Street. I told him to donate all his properties, including the palace he currently lives in. He can't keep it even if he wants to. It's better to take the initiative and try to get leniency in the future."
Lin Kucan nodded thoughtfully and said:
"You're right. It's possible under current policies. The nature of our country dictates that public ownership is the primary and sole form of government. Since private ownership of factories and clinics is not permitted, private ownership of real estate is also not permitted."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, this old man is quite insightful.
"So, Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, my idea is that we should take the initiative to hand over the small Western-style building to the community to open a school. Given the size of our family, it's more than enough to open an elementary school.
Now that it's become a primary school, the relatives living there must move out. Having the government intervene is much more effective than us. If they don't move out, let them feel the people's iron fist!"
"Our house has become a school???"
Jin Caifeng was anxious: "You silly child, if you donate it to the country, can you get it back later?"
Lin Sanqi corrected:
"We are not donating it, we are temporarily lending it to the state for use for 20 years. In addition, our family will contribute 50,000 yuan to renovate the school and purchase desks, etc. This has two advantages.
If our family provides housing and money, the government will get a school for free, so they will definitely agree.
As for asking the residents to move, this is a huge problem for my family, but it is a small matter for the government.
Second, we signed an agreement with the government to replace the house deeds and land deeds from the Republic of China with the current "property deeds", which are the property deeds like the ones in Dongmianhua Hutong.
With this house title, which is issued by the state, the state will recognize it.
We will sign another 20-year lease agreement. After 20 years, whether my eldest brother or Jiageng returns, the house can be returned to our family’s private hands.”
Fu Muxiang raised the question:
"Brother, why 20 years? What if they don't recognize this agreement after 20 years?"
Lin Sanqi thought, 20 years later will be 1981, when the tide of reform and opening up has begun, and the country is still trustworthy in this regard, and the house title will be returned to you if you have it.
Of course, if you produced a Republic of China title deed in 1981, the state wouldn't recognize it. The current dynasty wouldn't recognize the deeds of the previous dynasty, so the homeowner would have to suffer in silence. (End of this chapter)
