Old Kong clearly hadn't expected this. His wide eyes lowered slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking about.
Lu Zhiye barely needed to look at it to guess most of the contents of the document.
Some departments do this, usually in order to retain talent!
But when applied to these veterans, it's just too despicable!
After all, they dedicated most of their lives to this land, their blood was shed on it, and they fought bloody battles their whole lives. Now that they are old, they can't even leave something for future generations!
What a tragedy!
Even the accommodations provided had clearly stated prices and conditions, which chilled everyone present!
I'm so angry with myself for not taking a second look!
After a moment, Old Xu laughed and said, "Director Hao, what are you saying? Who's planning to buy a house?"
"This house is a return for my retirement. How many years does it say on your document?"
"15 years..."
The young man behind Director Hao slowly peeked out, looking somewhat ridiculous in the tense atmosphere!
Old Xu chuckled: "We've officially retired for 15 years now, haven't we?"
No, it's been ten years since we got this house!
Five years? I can live for at least five years, right?
They took care of me in my old age and saw me off in my final days. Five years later, I will transfer the house to them. Does Director Hao have any questions about doing this?
Director Hao was speechless, never expecting that these straightforward people would start playing tricks.
He opened his mouth, but the shrewd old woman with the mole next to him quickly went behind Old Xu, massaged his shoulders and said, "Uncle, look at what you're saying. You're willing to recognize me as your godfather, so that I can have a place to stay in this unfamiliar city of Beijing."
I'm so grateful to you, I'll definitely take good care of you and make sure you live a comfortable life until you're old.
Old Liu, unusually quick-witted, also walked over to Old Xu's side and said, "That's right, Uncle, there's a longevity village in our area. The old people in the village all live to be eighty or ninety years old!"
I heard that there's a well in that place, and the water inside is called longevity water!
I'll get some for you to try later. You can use it to make tea or anything else. You'll definitely live to be a hundred!
Upon hearing this, the old lady with the mole stomped her foot, and Old Liu next to her exclaimed, "Damn it, this is bad!"
Sure enough, at that moment, they saw Director Hao's eyes gleam like a vicious dog's!
"Comrade, your thinking is wrong. To put it mildly, it's just parroting what others say; to put it more seriously, it's feudal superstition!"
Old Liu's face turned a deep shade of liver. Although many people have now been exonerated and returned to the city, people are no longer so sensitive to certain things!
But those were all said behind closed doors; there weren't many said in public!
So if Director Hao really puts this label on Old Liu, it will probably cause another uproar!
Old Xu patted Old Liu's arm with his only hand, his sharp eyes sweeping over Director Hao: "Director Hao, I call you Director because I respect you!"
Do you really think we old bones are afraid of you?
We didn't see that document you mentioned back then!
Did you add this page without my permission, or is this actually true? That remains to be seen!
My two relatives are new here and may have said some things without thinking, so please bear with them!
There's no need to fixate on just one sentence!
This isn't like ten years ago, where a single word could wipe out an entire family!
Old Xu paused slightly, and Old Kong immediately understood, shouting, "That's right, do they really think we old fogies are pushovers?"
I'll have to go to the veterans' affairs office later and ask if this condition is actually met!
We've fought for our country for most of our lives, and in the end, we don't even have the right to leave a house for our descendants?
Director Hao gritted his teeth. If it were any other time, these people would have cowered long ago after he uttered those words!
After all, their backers have fallen, and they've scattered like monkeys, each going their own way. Some have run away, some have left, and who cares about this group anymore?
So in the past, whenever he came under the guise of an inspection, these people always treated him kindly.
This has also led some people to have increasingly bigger appetites!
On another level, if this group really goes on and makes a scene without any regard for the consequences, Director Hao will inevitably end up getting caught in the crossfire.
For a moment, the scene became tense. Director Hao glanced at everyone, and the old men present all glared at him angrily, as if he were some kind of criminal!
Director Hao didn't dare to confront these people head-on, and said with a flick of his sleeve, "What's the use of you making trouble if the documents are right here?"
I've come here to advise you to behave yourselves! Hmph!
After saying that, he turned and left, thinking, "Damn it, let whoever wants to deal with this mess take care of it!"
But just thinking about those little devils made Director Hao's legs go weak!
The darkness behind it all is beyond their comprehension!
As long as certain fundamental principles are not shaken, many people choose to turn a blind eye!
Director Hao felt he had to report this to his superiors immediately, otherwise this group of people would really get out of control!
After Director Hao left, everyone in the courtyard gathered around Old Kong, clearly taking him as their leader: "Old Kong, what should we do?"
The old Li couple from No. 2 Hutong have long since passed away. They came from the countryside, and a man who claimed to be their nephew took care of them in their old age and saw them off in their final days. They have been living in that house ever since!
According to Director Hao, the house hasn't even been owned for 15 years yet, so how can anyone still live in it?
"That's right, I haven't heard from my son at all. I don't know how many more years I can live with these old bones!"
"Old Kong, give me some advice, what should we do now?"
Some people thought it looked like Old Kong, others thought it looked like Old Xu. The next moment, they heard Old Xu slam his hand on the table and say, "Alright, stop crowding around here. Just listen to what he has to say. We all know whether he's trying to scare us or not!"
When the document was first issued, none of these conditions existed!
Old Kong, go inside and get my notebook. I'm going to write a will right away! Then you can help me get it notarized at the notary office.
The neighborhood office will also keep a copy. In addition, the sales contract should be drafted; this house has to be sold whether we want to or not!
Old Xu finally understood: this group of people were just waiting for him to die!
After you die, who knows where this house will end up!
No matter what the conditions in that document were, Lao Xu refused to acknowledge them.
If what Director Hao said is true, then he'll definitely cause a scene at the administrative office before he dies...
He wanted to fight for justice for himself and for everyone!
