Chapter 525: House 1
The day to take possession of the house finally arrived.
Jiang Manye did not let Fan Shilei attend. She told him to just go to work and not to worry about this matter, and to come directly to the new home after get off work.
Fan Shilei disagreed: "Such a big thing probably won't go smoothly. It's better for me to go with you."
"I would feel embarrassed to quarrel with others if you were here." Jiang Manye said honestly, and after thinking about it, she changed "beat people" to "quarrel".
"I..." Fan Shilei wanted to discuss it with Jiang Manye, but Jiang Manye stuffed the briefcase into Fan Shilei's arms.
"Go to work! I'll take care of this."
Fan Shilei had no choice but to agree: "Then give me a call when you're done so I can rest assured."
"Okay, Uncle Li has the phone number." Jiang Manye nodded.
The two went out together, one to work and the other to the dormitory area.
Jiang Manye arrived at the entrance of the alley but did not go in. She waited for the people from the Housing Management Office and the Security Department to arrive before entering the alley together.
Two people came to the Housing Management Office today, one is Li Mingwei and the other is Feng Xinglong.
The two were a little scared of this alley. At that time, they knew that Huang Ling would not live in this alley after remarrying and wanted to take over the house. As a result, they were severely beaten by Huang Ling.
The last time Li Mingwei came, he wanted to walk around their yard.
Three comrades from the Security Department came, and together with Jiang Manye, the gate of the Wu family's courtyard was packed.
Li Mingwei said timidly: "Comrade Jiang..."
Jiang Manye made way for her: "Oh, I see. First courtesy, then force. You go first."
"Okay." Li Mingwei went to knock on the door.
Feng Xinglong stepped back and stood at the wall of Wang Yong's house. Wang Yong took a special leave today to help at home and was determined to drive Zhang A-mei away. The two talked in a low voice.
Zhang A'mei came to open the door, and everyone pushed it open and entered the yard.
Some curious people who were on vacation today also gathered around to watch the fun.
When Li Mingwei stepped into the room, he saw that Zhang A-mei had not yet packed her things, and his face turned dark.
"Comrade Zhang A-mei, this is wrong. We've given you seven days, why haven't you vacated the house yet?"
Zhang A-mei still wanted to struggle, wanting to delay for one day longer, but today she changed her strategy and acted very nicely, only pleading:
"Comrade Li, give me a few more days. You know I'm alone. I've lost my husband, and my children aren't around anymore. How can I pack up all my things all by myself?"
"Well, there are quite a few of us here today. Let's help you clean up, Xiao Feng! Come together. And the comrades from the security department, please help as well."
Li Mingwei seemed to know that she would come up with this trick and immediately gave a solution.
Everyone was about to go into the house. Zhang A-mei saw what was happening and fell to her knees in front of everyone, starting to cry:
"Please! Please! Have mercy on me! Don't chase me away, I'm homeless! I'm so miserable! My husband is dead, my family won't take me in, I don't have any friends, I lost my job, and I don't know where my daughter is..."
She cried so sadly that if someone who didn't know her heard it, they would probably sigh, but everyone present knew that it was her fault.
"This trick is useless. You'd better get up and pack your things quickly." Li Mingwei didn't dare to go forward to help her. He just walked around her and prepared to go into the house.
Wang Yong crossed his arms and sneered, "Sister Zhang, I advise you not to make things too awkward, otherwise you will be the only one who suffers."
"Get out of the way!" Jiang Manye yelled. "I've already told you, what's the point of being polite to this kind of person?"
She pushed Li Mingwei aside with one hand and a comrade from the security department with the other, and said to Zhang A-mei:
"Don't worry, I think your things are dirty! I won't take any of them. I'll throw them into the trash with you later."
As she spoke, she grabbed Zhang A'mei with one hand, lifted her up easily, and walked out.
Zhang A-mei began to howl: "Help! Let go! Let go!"
The people sticking their heads out from the wall just watched the fun and sneered: "Wow, someone has dealt with her!"
"That's right! I'll always remember her asking Shanshan to sell me eggs. I felt sorry for the child so I bought them. But four out of five were bad. When I went to throw them away, Shanshan saw me and gave me four good eggs. But she said I was unlucky, snatched the eggs back, and even punished Shanshan by not letting her have dinner!"
"Yes, I remember you felt bad about it, so you boiled an egg for Shanshan the next morning."
"That's right! It's my fault! Bah!"
Everyone was criticizing her, but when they saw her being dragged out of the alley, they actually cheered her on.
As soon as they left, the others came into the house to help pack up.
Wang Yong shouted "Wait" and went back home. He came back soon with three dirty snakeskin bags in his hands.
"Here, I donated it, no money required!"
He said with great enthusiasm.
"That's great, thank you!" Li Mingwei hurriedly thanked them and said to the people who helped, "Don't touch the chest of drawers. Let her clean it up later. Help her put away the other worthless things, even the bowls. Don't accuse us of taking advantage of her. Thank you all for your hard work!"
"You are too slow. I will go get some help!" Wang Yong suggested again.
"Thank you so much, Team Leader Wang." Li Mingwei looked grateful.
Wang Yongzhen went out to call for help, and several of the people who had been watching the excitement came over.
After Jiang Manye threw the man out, she came back and saw someone coming to help. She said:
"Thank you all! I've saved some pork for today. Once I've finished cleaning up the house, I'll bring it over to share with my neighbors and colleagues at the factory!"
With the rewards, everyone became more motivated and more and more people came.
Zhang A'mei cried so hard that she almost died. She crawled back to the alley and saw people in the yard cleaning out her things. She couldn't cry anymore.
"Stop pretending! You must have found a house, and you just want to see if they'll kick you out, right? I'm telling you, if they don't let you move out today, they won't be able to explain themselves back at the factory. They're all regular employees, and they don't want anyone to mess with them because of you."
Zhang A-mei did find a house, but to save money, she chose the cheapest one, one near the cotton mill. It would be difficult to move her belongings if it was too far away. She could only move after she found a job.
But although it is cheap, it is actually just a storage room built in a corner of someone else's house. Not only is it small, but even the door is crooked.
Because it was in such bad condition, it couldn't be rented out after the original tenant moved out. No one has lived there for quite a long time. As soon as the door was opened, the musty smell hit me in the face.
But Zhang A-mei, who had no job and no money, had no choice but to accept it.
She originally wanted to try to delay it for a few days, as she could save a few days of rent by delaying it for a few days, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.
Fortunately, she knew that no one wanted the house except her.
Soon, everyone had collected most of the things.
"Hey, Zhang A'mei! If you don't come and close those locked drawers of yours, we'll help you smash them!" someone shouted in the house.
Now only the chest of drawers remains to be tidied.
When Zhang A-mei heard this, she stood up suddenly. The little money she had left was still in the drawer.
She rushed into the house and found the cloth bag she usually carried. She opened the drawer and poured everything inside into the bag. Then she hung the bag on her shoulder and held the strap tightly.
"We are good people and we will do our best to deliver the things to you. Just tell us the place and we will deliver the things to you." Li Mingwei walked over and said to Zhang A'mei.
He only knew that these were nothing. As long as he could send Zhang A-mei away today, he would have made a contribution. Their director would definitely look at him differently. Moreover, if everything went well today, Deputy Director Song and Team Leader Wang who lived in this courtyard would also be grateful to him.
So, he was willing to do his best to get this done.
Zhang A-mei glared at him with resentment, wiped away her tears, and cried:
"Jiang Man'e!"
