Old Mrs. Xia rushed into Director Yuan's office and expressed her strong desire to have a separate room.
There were not many people in the office at that time, only Director Yuan and another young comrade. The young comrade was about to leave the office, but as soon as he took a step out the door, Director Yuan called him back.
"Xiao Liu, please leave later and open the door."
Xiao Liu was very confused, but still obediently sat back in his seat.
After the last lesson, Director Yuan suffered from sequelae and no longer dared to be alone with others in the room. It would be best if there was someone else and the door was open, otherwise she was afraid that her reputation would be ruined in her later years.
After hearing what Old Lady Xia said, Director Yuan thought that all good things had happened at once, and she wouldn't have to bother looking for her later.
She immediately talked about the opinions of the leaders during today's meeting, omitting the first few houses that the leaders disagreed with, and only mentioned the last one and said that they were still helping her find another house.
Thinking of her sister who was still living in a temporary rented house, Old Mrs. Xia immediately expressed her willingness to go with her to see the place. If there were no vicious criminals there, she would move there directly and get a lot of rent refunded.
Renting a house requires proof and household registration, as does the person living with them. If Old Lady Xia hadn't been a worker, no one would have rented the place. The problem was that her sister's household registration was still with the Tian family, and the shameless Tian Chengping wouldn't hand it over, locking the door tightly.
She didn't have the time to argue with him for the time being. Even without a household registration, she had to find a place for her sister to live. She told the landlord that she would bring it over in a few days. If she didn't bring it over by then, she might be kicked out.
Old Mrs. Xia is anxious.
Director Yuan: "No matter how anxious we are, we have to wait until after get off work. If they don't, no one in the compound will be back. What are you going to do? We have to see what those people are like. If no one is here, what are we going to do?"
Fortunately, she returned near the end of the shift. Under her frantic urging, Director Yuan was pushed out the door. "Call a few people from the security department. We two women might get bullied if we go over there."
They finally managed to get two people to accompany them. Although Old Mrs. Xia was not tall, she moved very fast, and the other three people were all out of breath after following her.
Mrs. Xia was thinking about bringing food back to her sister, so she was anxious: "Hurry up."
Director Yuan cursed her hundreds of times in his heart, but in the end he had to follow her.
When the factory director came out, he happened to see their backs and couldn't help but sigh that Director Yuan was quite enthusiastic and responsible. Look at his steps, they were so energetic.
A few people arrived at the riverside courtyard. Director Yuan pointed to a slightly dilapidated house and said, "This is it. It's a great house. The back door opens to the river. In the summer, if you have the time, you can just open the door and catch snails. The steps are also high, so even if the water comes up during a typhoon, there's still some distance to go."
"This house faces south, and there are two small rooms on the left and right, both facing south. If you live alone, you can sleep in one room and store your belongings in the other. It's spacious and the light isn't too bad. There's also enough space at the door, so you can move a stool and bask in the sun."
Director Yuan was also here for the first time. He was attracted by the house. If it weren't for the difficult neighbors, this would be a great house.
Old Lady Xia was also satisfied, very satisfied. She and her sister each had a room in the cottage. The back door opened onto the river, and there was a small area with a table for enjoying the sun and tea in the winter. The kitchen was spacious and could hold a lot of things. They would have a carpenter build some cabinets later.
Old Mrs. Xia and the others, who had already started planning how to arrange the house, were suddenly startled by a loud voice.
When they looked out the window, they saw a tall, strong, dark man yelling for his mother to come out.
Director Yuan whispered, "This man should be the man who frightened the other person to death."
Then, a thin man came out from the house next to Old Lady Xia. When he saw the strong man, he started cursing him. He said something from his house took up his space, then said that his mother's clothes were blocking the light in his house, and then said that his voice was so noisy that it was louder than that of a sparrow.
"Who is this?" Old Lady Xia asked excitedly. These two were quite interesting. The thin man's scolding made the strong man look even more ferocious. One of them was loud and the other was talkative, and the quarrel was evenly matched.
Director Yuan also couldn't recognize the people in this compound. Facing Mrs. Xia's question, she could only say that she didn't know. "But look at their compound. Two men are arguing like this. Don't let them start fighting soon."
Old Lady Xia saw it clearly and said, "They won't fight."
Director Yuan was curious: "Why? They were arguing so fiercely, it scared me just watching them."
Old Lady Xia: "They are not angry at all."
Director Yuan opened his eyes wide and watched for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how Old Lady Xia knew they weren't angry. "They're both pointing at each other and cursing, but they're not angry yet. Don't say anything nonsense."
Old Lady Xia: "I have more experience than you in quarreling and fighting."
Director Yuan remained silent, this was indeed the truth.
As expected, the two men quarreled for a while and then went back to their respective homes. The quarrel ended in a chaotic manner, which opened Director Yuan's eyes.
Afterwards, a mother and daughter came into the compound. They looked mean and were a little unhappy to see someone coming to Old Lady Xia's house. They gave them a cold look and went back.
Director Yuan: "This person is so rude! We didn't say anything, why is he giving us the cold shoulder?"
Old Lady Xia: "Let's take another look."
Afterwards, another couple came into the compound and started fighting as soon as they entered.
Director Yuan wanted to rush out to stop the fight, but was immediately stopped by Old Lady Xia, whose eyes sparkled. Old Lady Xia immediately decided, "Director Yuan, I'm going to live here."
Director Yuan didn't understand. This compound was full of weird people. They were either quarreling or fighting, and some even looked down on others. Why did Old Lady Xia have to be here?
"Why don't you reconsider it? It's not very peaceful here. What if something goes wrong?"
Old Lady Xia: "No, they are all peaceful people and cannot be killed."
Director Yuan has a blank expression on his face, so as long as we are not killed, we can live anywhere?
Old Lady Xia continued to ask, "Are all the people in this compound workers?"
Director Yuan: "I'm not sure if everyone is one, but every household has at least one worker."
Old Lady Xia: "That's fine, it's safe here. If they hit me, I'll report it to the police. The workers are afraid of that kind of thing."
Director Yuan didn't want to talk anymore. Anyway, by then it would be their compound's business and had nothing to do with the factory.
"Then I'll register you?"
Old Mrs. Xia nodded.
Director Yuan: "Come to the factory tomorrow to sign your name. You can check if there's anything else that needs repairing. The factory director is considerate of you as a veteran and said the factory will pay for the repairs. If you need help moving, you can tell me and I'll send someone to help you."
Mrs. Xia immediately shook Director Yuan's hand and said, "Director Yuan, you are such a good comrade and leader. My heart is filled with warmth."
Director Yuan: You would be doing me a great favor if you just stay out of trouble.
