The Zhang family reluctantly made way, and Aunt Zhang was taken away by the ambulance. The Zhang family also had to leave the courtyard.
Xiao Ding quickly came out and closed the door. He was terrified. His clothes were soaked. If someone died in his house, do you think the developer would still want the house? If they didn't relocate him, how would he live in the house?
The old man and woman glanced at each other and shook their heads. They had all sorts of children. It was really difficult to get old. They didn't want to give away all their savings too early, end up living under someone else's roof, and be disliked like trash.
Xiao Ding didn't dare go to work in the afternoon. After thinking for a while, he went to find Li Mancang.
"Uncle Li, I want to go to the neighborhood committee. I'm part of the first batch to be relocated. I don't dare live in this house anymore. The Zhang family is heartless and capable of anything. I'm scared."
Li Mancang understood, "Okay, it's your own house, you can make your own decisions."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I've troubled the neighbors in the courtyard. If I leave, the price of this courtyard will be lower." If the whole courtyard disagrees, the developer will definitely give more money. Now that Xiao Ding has left, it will be difficult to get more money for this courtyard.
Li Mancang: "How can this be your fault? You had no choice. It's your own house, you should make the decisions."
Xiao Ding then spoke to the loudspeaker, Uncle Ge, and Bai Qiancheng before heading out.
Bai Qiancheng scratched his head and came over, "Grandpa, what should we do?"
Li Mancang: "We're not in a hurry. Let's just wait and see. If the developers come to us, they'll definitely try to lower the price."
"Making money is so hard, nothing beats being a holdout. I've already thought it all out. I'll have my wife and kids move out, and I'll call my brother-in-law and his brother-in-law over. If you don't give me at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, I definitely won't leave," Bai Qiancheng yawned. He didn't earn his money easily, unlike being a holdout.
“Your house is big, so you can ask for as much as you can. You only get a few opportunities like this in your lifetime,” Li Mancang said, expressing his support. He said it was a personal choice and he respected it.
For a family like theirs, Grandpa Ge wouldn't have the energy to waste time here. They'd just go with the flow and leave.
Bai Qiancheng chuckled. Jiang Fen, fearing something might happen, said she would go with everyone, since each family had its own situation. Bai Qiancheng felt he could be a holdout.
Xiao Ding's family didn't come back to stay that night. They returned early the next morning and hurriedly moved out. They also secretly told Li Mancang about the price the developer had given them. He was the first to move out and received an extra 20,000 yuan.
Soon after, a group of developers came and dug up the windows, doors, and roof, leaving the front yard in a complete mess.
Grandpa Ge looked at the house and felt a little sad. To be honest, he was very reluctant to leave. If possible, he didn't want to move. He wanted to live out his days here.
The Zhang family brought Aunt Zhang over again at noon, but when they saw the scene before them, their vision went black.
"What happened? Who demolished our house? Who?" Old Zhang babbled.
Aunt Yuan looked at Aunt Zhang on the stretcher. Her face was bluish-purple, and she looked like she might die at any moment. She was being tormented like this by her children and grandchildren. What use were these children?
As soon as Bai Qiancheng saw the Zhang family enter, he called the developer, who was now worried about problems arising on his land.
"That guy surnamed Ding, how dare he demolish our house? I'll kill him!" the Zhang brothers shouted in the yard.
Zhang Laosi's face was very ugly. He had a bad feeling. Who would demolish the houses if there was a relocation? Only the developers.
"Uncle Ge, why was our house demolished?"
Grandpa Ge lay in the room with his eyes closed, as if he hadn't heard anything. Aunt Yuan turned on the TV and turned the volume up really loud.
"These two old bastards have really given them too much credit," Zhang Laoda gritted his teeth, his face still burning with rage.
