Director Pi said that he would give Li Cheng a house, but the prerequisite was that Li Cheng must get married.
Li Chengxin said that he was not in a hurry to get married, and he couldn't force Ai Yi to marry him just for a house.
He turned to look at Weng Xiaozhu, only to find her looking at him with fiery eyes. Li Cheng's gaze didn't linger, and after glancing at her face, he looked at Principal Han who was sorting the cards.
Principal Han seemed to nod, but if you didn't look closely at him, no one would have noticed him nodding.
Principal Han was "accidentally" brought in by Weng Xiaozhu to fill the table. At the time, there was a vacancy for one person, and Director Pi refused to send anyone, so Weng Xiaozhu said that since Principal Han was free, why not call him over?
And so, the four of them sat down at the card table.
Ever since Principal Han came, Li Cheng has been pretending not to know him, but Weng Xiaozhu has to act as if she is very familiar with Principal Han.
Why is it like this? Actually, there is a lot of knowledge involved.
Director Pi had no idea that he was going to play mahjong before entering the mahjong room. It was only after he entered that he realized that Li Cheng and the others were going to drag him to play mahjong.
Let them fight, Director Pi is also an old bricklayer. Besides, he guessed that Li Cheng and others wanted to "honor" him by deliberately losing money playing mahjong.
But there were only three of them, so they couldn't make a table. So, Li Cheng asked Director Pi to find someone he thought was reliable to join the table.
If he had just picked someone, Director Pi could have packed the teahouse to the brim. But Director Pi was thinking about "making money," and he couldn't let his acquaintances know about this kind of money-making scheme.
So, Director Pi asked Li Cheng to find someone. Li Cheng knew that he couldn't find someone at this time. It wasn't that he couldn't find someone, but it was not the right time for Li Cheng to find someone.
Why is it not suitable? Because Li Cheng needs someone who is "unfamiliar" with him. But this person must be someone who is very familiar with Weng Xiaozhu.
So, the task of finding someone fell on Weng Xiaozhu. So, Weng Xiaozhu called in an outsider, the driving school principal, Mr. Han.
After Principal Han arrived, Weng Xiaozhu said to Director Pi, "Principal Han runs a driving school. If Director Pi is interested in learning to drive, he can ask Principal Han for help."
Director Pi wasn't interested in driving; he was only interested in winning money. After a few rounds of mahjong, except for Principal Han who lost twice, Director Pi lost the rest of the time.
Director Pi was very happy, thinking that Li Cheng and this incredibly beautiful Ms. Weng were both people who knew the rules. So, when Li Cheng asked about the division of the house seemingly unintentionally, Director Pi said very straightforwardly that as long as Li Cheng got married, he would take care of the house matters.
However, today Li Cheng came to him not to get a house for himself, but for Old Cheng, who was in his thirties and still unmarried.
Li Cheng had promised Lao Cheng that as long as his sweetheart came back, he would hold a wedding for them.
But later Li Cheng learned another thing, that is, Lao Cheng was taking care of three mothers alone.
Three mothers? Yes, three mothers. One is Lao Cheng's mother, another is Lao Cheng's mother's mother, Lao Cheng's grandmother, and the third is the mother of his sweetheart.
After Li Cheng learned about this, he had a new opinion of Lao Cheng. But Lao Cheng never told anyone about his family affairs except Li Cheng.
Li Cheng once went with Lao Cheng to see the three mothers living together. When he got there, he finally understood why the three people lived together.
Old Cheng's grandmother is in a wheelchair due to her old age and frailty. Originally, Old Cheng and his mother took care of her together, but things got so tragic that one day, when his mother was pushing Old Cheng's grandmother out for a walk, she accidentally stepped on empty air and injured her bones, and now she is also in a wheelchair.
As for the mother of Lao Cheng's sweetheart, she had been in poor health to begin with. Her husband divorced her and her daughter was imprisoned. The successive blows caused her health to collapse, and she was confined to a wheelchair early on.
The three people in wheelchairs all needed Lao Cheng's care. Lao Cheng was not always able to do so, so he decided to let the three of them live together so that they could look after each other and it would be easier to take care of them.
The Cheng family of four now lives in a house allocated by Cheng's mother's workplace in the 1970s. Although this two-bedroom apartment is on the first floor, it is not big enough for Cheng's family, so Cheng has to live in a side room in the yard.
Li Cheng felt bad after seeing this. When he knew that the bank was going to distribute housing again, he kept thinking about how to get a house for Lao Cheng. Otherwise, by the time his sweetheart was released from prison, the bank would have stopped distributing housing.
Under normal circumstances, people of Lao Cheng's age who are married would have already divided their houses.
Lao Cheng must be allowed to catch the last welfare housing distribution train, even if it is an old house left over by others.
This is a difficult thing to do. There are many unmarried people. If Lao Cheng can distribute houses, those unmarried people will also ask for houses.
Li Cheng was a little hesitant for a while, but thinking about the current situation of Old Cheng's family, Li Cheng thought that no matter what, he should get a house for Old Cheng first.
Whether inviting Director Pi to dinner or playing mahjong today, Li Cheng has only one goal, which is to get a house for Lao Cheng.
Since the topic has come to the issue of dividing houses, everything Li Cheng and others do will revolve around this issue.
After Li Cheng secretly greeted Principal Han, Weng Xiaozhu said, "Li Cheng values people more than houses. He won't rush to register for marriage just for a house!"
Director Pi glanced at Weng Xiaozhu and said, "He just didn't find the right person. If his partner was someone like Mr. Weng, he probably would have registered for marriage long ago without the issue of dividing the house."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cheng and the others all laughed. After laughing, Li Cheng asked again: "Director Pi, can't we get a house if we're not married? Are there no exceptions?"
Director Pi shook his head and said, "It's a hard and fast rule, and no one can change it. So, if you want the house this time, you should register your marriage right away. It doesn't matter if you have a wedding or not, I only recognize the marriage certificate."
When Director Pi said this, Li Cheng picked up a card at random and threw it out without even looking at it.
At this time, he was thinking in his heart, what I heard is not like this. I heard that several houses have been occupied by relatives of the leaders of the municipal branch.
Although the location of those houses is a bit remote, they are still the bank's houses.
Thinking about it, Li Cheng picked up another card...
"Wrong, here." Director Pi said, pointing to a row of neatly arranged mahjong tiles.
Li Cheng put the card he had picked up back to its original place and said with a smile, "Oh, you can't touch it randomly. The rules are the rules, and you can't break the rules even when playing cards. Am I right, Director Pi?"
Director Pi drew his cards and said with a smile, "Yes, we can't break the rules. As the old saying goes, without rules, there will be no order."
