Chapter 306: Flying to the Siheyuan It was a rare occasion for them to get together, and everyone was very happy.
It was already late after dinner, so Master Jiu invited everyone to go to the courtyard.
"A few days ago, I discussed this with my landlord, Lao Wang, and everyone at the Housing Authority."
"After signing the contract and paying the money, we will go through the transfer procedures in the afternoon."
Since the eldest brother and his wife couldn't come back for the time being, the house could only be temporarily registered under Jiang Si's name.
The rest of the matter will be dealt with after they come back.
As they were chatting, the driver suddenly stepped on the brakes.
"What's wrong?"
Jiu Ye didn't pay attention and almost hit the windshield in front of him.
The driver pointed ahead and said, "Master Jiu, it looks like someone is moving ahead. There are two trucks blocking the road."
Most of the alleys here are narrow, especially in the old city.
In summer, many residents will build a shed outside their door to cook.
Even if you're not cooking, there are all kinds of junk piled up at the door.
What's more, you can enclose a small area at the door and plant some green onions and cabbages, which can save you a lot in a short time.
This driver was probably here for the first time. The car got stuck not long after it entered.
There is no way to advance now, and there is no way to retreat now.
The driver had no choice but to unload the goods on the spot.
From time to time, he would shout, "Be careful, don't knock on the door!"
Hearing the sound, Jiang Si took a curious look.
You can tell from the styles and workmanship of these furniture that they are all from the time-honored Beijing brand Tongxinghe.
The price of any piece of furniture in there is several months' salary for an ordinary person.
This truckload of furniture alone is worth as much as an entire courtyard house.
No wonder the driver was sweating profusely, anxiously waiting for the car to get bumped or scratched.
Seeing that these cars couldn't move away for a while, Jiang Si said to the driver: "Master, please turn around at the intersection ahead and we can go in from the other side."
The driver did not delay and immediately drove in the direction Jiang Si pointed.
But when I finally got to the other end of the alley, the situation was exactly the same!
It's just that the people here unload bricks, tiles and wood.
Jiang Si frowned instantly.
It's both furniture and materials.
With all these factors combined, Jiang Si had to think more.
Master Jiu beside him seemed to have realized what was happening as well, his expression changed slightly, and his tone was a little uncertain.
"No... can't I?"
As if trying to convince himself, he paused and continued, "I've already paid the deposit, and I even paid a few hundred yuan extra!"
In addition to the deposit, the two parties also signed a simple contract.
This was something Jiang Si strongly requested.
Although the homeowner patted his chest and said he couldn't afford it, Jiang Si was afraid of accidents and still drafted a simple contract.
It's clearly written in black and white in the contract.
The two parties agreed that the money would be paid and the transfer procedures would be completed this Wednesday.
In case of breach of contract, double the deposit must be returned.
"A thousand yuan in liquidated damages is no small sum! And I think Wang Dafa is quite honest, he doesn't seem like the type to go back on his word!"
That being said, Jiu Ye was still unsure.
So he asked the driver to pull over and planned to go in to see what was going on underneath.
Jiu Ye is a black market smuggler after all.
Jiang Si was worried that he would act on impulse, so she got out of the car with him.
Several people shuttled back and forth in the alley. The further they went, the more uneasy Jiu Ye became.
They have already been familiar with this area.
Especially this alley.
All of them are public rental housing or housing allocated by work units.
There are only two private houses in total.
One of the houses is an old house with four generations living under the same roof. The family has lived in it for almost their entire lives and it is impossible for them to move.
The other one is Wang Dafa.
Moreover, the first family was right at the entrance of the alley, so there was no way they could move in.
While they were lost in thought, they had already walked out of the courtyard.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard was open.
Looking at these people coming in and out of the door, Jiu Ye was so angry that his face turned ashen.
There’s no need to guess now, this is the one!
Just at this moment, the landlord Wang Dafa walked out.
Looking at Master Jiu, his face turned pale in an instant.
"Comrade Wang Dafa, what do you mean?"
Jiu Ye took a step forward, but out of consideration for the other party's face, he did not grab Wang Dafa's collar.
But his tone was clearly hostile. "Didn't we agree to pay the money and transfer the ownership today?"
"We've received the deposit and signed the contract, and now you're selling the same house twice. Are you playing tricks on us?"
Jiu Ye is usually scary enough even when he's not smiling, but now he has a cold face, and Wang Dafa was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
"No... I'm sorry, I... I..."
