Chapter 199: Eating the House-Sharing Melon
Zheng Zhiyuan smiled and waved, motioning Ye Rou to go in.
Ye Rou walked to her grandfather's side.
Zheng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "My granddaughter Ye Rou."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Chairman Zheng is so lucky. His granddaughter is so beautiful."
This was not a compliment, but something Hao Ren said from the bottom of his heart.
Zheng Zhiyuan's serious expression eased a little and he asked Ye Rou to sit down.
Xin Yuzhen looked at the girl. She was wearing a white ankle-length cotton skirt and a thin woolen coat. She looked clean and decent. Then she thought of her own daughter, who was seventeen years old and couldn't even afford a good set of clothes. She was so sad that she started crying again.
Ye Rou looked at the woman. The weather in Beijing was still a little chilly in early spring, and the chilly wind penetrated into the bones in the early morning. The woman was wearing thin clothes. Her loose shirt was patched, and the hem of the shirt was frayed and looked a little worn.
The woman put her legs together and tucked her feet behind the chair legs. From Ye Rou's angle, she could see that they were a pair of black cloth shoes, which were also extremely worn.
"Chairman Zheng, you may not be familiar with my family's situation. Hao Ren and I have four children, two girls and two boys. The oldest is seventeen years old, and the youngest is only three. Our family lives in a small shack, where it's difficult to even turn over.
Hao Ren is a good man with a kind heart. Whenever neighbors and relatives complain about their poverty and grievances, he would just give them money and food. I am not happy with this, but my family married me to him because of this.
I don't have a job, and everyone in my family, young and old, depends on Hao Ren for support. My children don't have money to go to school, and our lives are a mess.
During the day, I took the two girls to sew and wash clothes for others. The older of the two boys could not be supported, so he was sent to the army. The younger one still needed milk, but Chairman Zheng, look at my body, how can I feed him milk?
After much difficulty, someone sent a bottle of malted milk to thank Hao Ren. However, before the child had eaten it twice, his brother-in-law and sister-in-law came to his house and cried poor, so Hao Ren gave the malted milk away.
I live like this, and the days are getting harder and harder.
When the educated youth returned to the city, my mother-in-law came to our house crying, saying that my aunt's family had no place to live and had to squeeze in with our family.
There are now twelve people living in this 40-square-meter house. Not only is it inconvenient, but my sister-in-law's son also..."
At this point, Xin Yuzhen covered her face and cried softly. After choking several times, she said, "He peeped at my daughter taking a bath."
Ye Rou took a deep breath, and the anger in her eyes could hardly be concealed.
Xin Yuzhen continued, "We've been waiting so long, and finally the company has allocated us housing. Chairman Zheng, you don't know how excited we were the day we received the news."
When Ye Rou heard this, she slowly let out the breath she had been holding. As long as she had a house to move out, it would be good.
"But Chairman Zheng, why do these people bully my family?" Xin Yuzhen said aggrievedly, "The house we own is a done deal. Zhu Cheng from their unit comes to me every day to complain about his family's financial difficulties and poverty, and begs Hao Ren to give him the house.
He saw that Hao Ren was soft-hearted and easy to bully, so he kept asking and pleading. My Hao Ren only gave the house to Zhu Cheng after hearing that his family was in real financial difficulty.
Ye Rou clenched her loosened fists again. She looked at Hao Ren, who remained silent and lowered his head, and pursed her lips tightly to swallow back the curse words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She had never seen such a kind person.
He is so strong that he helps others even though his wife and children are suffering!
So selfless!
Zheng Zhiyuan also said, "Hao Ren gave up this house. He has already handed it over to the Housing Authority and signed and stamped it. It can't be changed."
Seeing Chairman Zheng in a dilemma, Hao Ren suddenly stood up and said with a red face, "Chairman Zheng, I'm sorry to bother you. We'll leave first."
After he said that, he pulled Xin Yuzhen to leave.
Xin Yuzhen shook off his hand, slid down and knelt down suddenly.
Zheng Zhiyuan was startled and stood up quickly, "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Ye Rou also went up to support him.
But Xin Yuzhen desperately shook her head and cried to Zheng Zhiyuan, "Chairman Zheng, if Zhu Cheng's family was really as difficult as he said, I wouldn't say anything, but his family is not like that. They have a house, not only a house but also a car. His daughter's clothes and accessories were all bought in Hong Kong. Chairman Zheng, you said that such a person cheated my family of our house. Where is justice!"
After she said this, she kowtowed.
Seeing that her grandfather was in trouble, Ye Rou quickly pulled her up, and she immediately knelt down again.
Hao Ren's eyes became sore as he watched, and he knelt down, but the person he knelt for was not Zheng Zhiyuan, but Xin Yuzhen.
His eyes were red as he pleaded, "Yuzhen, please, let's go. This house has already been allocated to Zhu Chengcheng, and even Chairman Zheng can't change it. If we lose the house this time, there will be a next time, and I will definitely not give it up next time."
"You always say that!" Xin Yuzhen broke down. "You're the good guy out there, and I've been left to be the bad guy. It'll take years for you to get your share of the house. Did you know that your good nephew almost got into your daughter's bed last night?"
Hao Ren's body suddenly froze, his face instantly draining of color. He shook his head in denial, "How is that possible? How could Xiao Fei..."
"Oh," Xin Yuzhen said angrily, "I caught your good nephew, but he still refuses to admit it. He even accused Xiaohong of seducing him! If he continues to live at home, what will happen to Xiaohong? We have two daughters!"
She became more and more angry as she spoke, but she just kept crying with her handkerchief in her handkerchief.
Hao Ren hunched his shoulders cowardly and kept muttering, "How is that possible?"
Ye Rou was about to explode with anger.
Zheng Zhiyuan saw Ye Rou's face flushed with anger, her fists clenched, and she stared at Hao Ren fiercely, as if she was going to pounce on him and beat him up. He laughed and shook his head.
"Okay." As soon as he said that, Xin Yuzhen and Hao Ren looked over at the same time.
Zheng Zhiyuan helped the couple up. "Hao Ren, I'll go back and investigate the situation you've reported. If the Zhu Cheng you mentioned is really suspected of lying to obtain the house, the company will recover the house. You two can go back and wait for news."
Xin Yuzhen's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Thank you, Chairman Zheng, thank you, Chairman Zheng."
Hao Ren stood behind Xin Yuzhen and raised his arm to wipe away his tears excitedly.
Zheng Zhiyuan gave repeated assurances before sending the couple away.
When he came back and saw Ye Rou still angry, he smiled and said, "Xiao Rou, what are you angry about?"
"Grandpa, I get angry when I hear about what Hao Ren did." Ye Rou has never been so unhappy while eating gossip. She feels tired and suffocated while eating.
Zheng Zhiyuan asked: "What would you do if you encountered such a thing?"
Ye Rou waved her fist and said, "Beat him up first, then divorce him and take the child away. If he wants to be a good person, then go ahead and do it. Don't drag down my wife and child."
"So you can't become Xin Yuzhen, and you will never meet a man like Hao Ren in your life." Zheng Zhiyuan didn't think Ye Rou's words were harsh, but instead showed admiration in his eyes.
A little girl should have her own temper, and the most important thing is to have a clear mind when encountering problems.
Xin Yuzhen didn't realize that the key to this housing allocation controversy lay with Hao Ren.
If it were Jiang Chen, that brat, he would probably blackmail Zhu Cheng into bankruptcy if he encountered this situation, and Zhu Cheng would not dare to get angry.
If Hao Ren's problem is not resolved, even if the house is taken back, it is likely that Hao Ren's family will not live in it in the end.
