Chapter 44 Renting a Courtyard



Chen Zhizhi didn't know how he discussed it with his superiors, but in the end, he ordered it at a price of 10 yuan per kilogram, and Yao Tongjia only needed to provide semi-finished products.

Yao Tongjia doesn't need to worry about other necessary supplies, such as what to use for packaging and transportation. They only need to provide the goods according to the agreed weight.

After the contract was signed, Yao Tongjia was required to immediately provide 50 kilograms of semi-finished products. Because of this, Xiao Yan did not go back immediately but stayed to help.

After much consideration, Grandma Huang agreed to go to the military region to retire. She knew that her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson always thought of her while she was there.

Sometimes, in order to come here to see her, I would take on missions related to this area. Like this time, if my grandson were to die on a mission here because of me, she would never be able to forgive myself.

Those two children haven't come back for so many years, so let's not make the living worry.

When Grandma Huang shared her plans, Huang Shanshan immediately hugged her mother's arm excitedly: "Mom, that's great! I can sleep in later from now on!"

Grandma Huang: "......" So you called me over just so you could sleep in?? My loving motherly heart shattered instantly!

Seeing that Granny Huang's expression was not good, Chen Yaojun quickly went online: "Granny Huang, I want to eat your cooking every day. I'll be in luck from now on!"

These words made Granny Huang speechless once again: it seemed this family was hoping she would come over just so they could cook for them! But at least she was useful, better than nothing!

Thinking of this, Grandma Huang cheered up again: "Whatever you want to eat in the future, as long as you can find the ingredients, I will cook it for you!"

"What about this courtyard?" Huang Shanshan asked hesitantly. She knew her mother valued this courtyard highly and would definitely not let any random people live here!

"I'll continue renting the courtyard to those three siblings. I don't want to rent it to the neighbors. Once they move into our courtyard, it won't be easy for them to take it back!"

Huang Shanshan had lived here before, so she knew those people's character: "They're here to cause you trouble?"

"They don't cause any trouble, but they often come over and make sarcastic remarks. I just ignore them!"

At this moment, Chen Zhizhi spoke up: "Why don't I go ask Yanzi? It's a waste for a college graduate like her to be a barefoot doctor in the countryside. Let's ask her if she wants to work at the county hospital."

“Mom is going to the military region with us. She must be worried about the three kids. How about we rent the whole house to them, and then I’ll go to the neighborhood office to register it!”

After hesitating for a long time, Grandma Huang said with difficulty, "If we rent the whole yard to them, it will be forcibly rented out anyway. It's better to rent it to them and let them take good care of this yard for us."

Hearing the somber tone of Granny Huang, Huang Shanshan felt a pang of sadness and hugged her elderly mother. She knew that her mother had never believed that her two sons had died in battle.

She kept deceiving herself, saying that she wouldn't admit her child had really died until the body was found, and she stubbornly insisted on living there.

She just wanted to wait for her two children to appear out of nowhere, but Huang Shanshan knew that after so many years, her two older brothers would never come back.

She couldn't bear to leave her elderly mother to wait here, only to grow disappointed day by day.

This trip was also intentional, with the intention of having her husband come and play the victim. Fortunately, her husband is quite good at playing the victim, at least better than her. Before, no matter how she tried to play the victim, it was useless. This time, the old mother finally agreed to go to the military region with them.

The issue now is housing. Huang Shanshan immediately went to find Xiao Yan, who was grinding medicinal herbs while the three children were at school.

The room was too small, so they could only sit in the main room. After drinking a glass of water, Huang Shanshan got straight to the point: "My mom finally agreed to let me live in the military area. Are you comfortable with the three kids living here?"

"Is your aunt willing to rent the whole house to us?"

Huang Shanshan put down her cup: "My mom finally relented. She'll only rent it to you. Can you rent the house?"

It is indeed quite cramped for three children to live in one room, but they are not short of money now: "I have no problem renting it. Anyway, now that the children have taken on a contract with your military, I have to come and see."

"Besides, I don't believe it. The army only needs 50 kilograms of medicine a month, and it will definitely increase more and more later. My three children still have to go to school, so I have to come and keep an eye on them!"

"That's good. We'll go talk to my mom now and tell her you want to rent this courtyard. We need to finalize it as soon as possible so she doesn't have a chance to back out!"

Huang Shanshan rushed Xiao Yan to her mother's room and said to her mother, "Mom, Yanzi wants to rent a house. Are we going to find someone from the neighborhood committee to testify?"

Previously, Grandma Huang lived there, and her three children rented a house from her without having to report to the neighborhood office. But now that Grandma Huang wants to leave, she still needs to find someone from the neighborhood office to witness it.

Otherwise, the neighborhood committee wouldn't know that this place was rented out and would find someone to move in. That's how it is in this era. The neighborhood committee has more power than in modern times, by a significant margin.

When Auntie Xie from the neighborhood office learned that Granny Huang was going to the military region, she immediately said, "I'll help you rent out the house!"

Her urgent tone and trembling hands showed how much Auntie Xie longed for the house. Unfortunately, Huang Shanshan shook her head: "We have already found tenants. We are just here to have you come and witness our presence."

Aunt Jie's face fell: "We don't recognize the tenants you randomly found. This shows a lack of unity in the neighborhood. If there are vacant houses, we, the neighborhood office, should handle them. How can you find tenants first?"

Huang Shanshan's face darkened: "Which regulation states that a house must be handed over to the subdistrict office before it can be rented out? Find it and show it to me!"

Huang Shanshan spends most of her time in the military camp. Although she doesn't need to train every day like the soldiers, these military doctors still have to train periodically to maintain their physical fitness.

A person who has trained for many years and has seen blood naturally exudes a murderous aura. She is usually gentle and kind, but at this moment her face darkens and her sharp eyes are directed at Aunt Xie.

Auntie Xie's legs trembled slightly, but thinking about the profit she could make if the house were rented out, she suddenly mustered her courage: "Anyway, no matter who rents it, I'll kick them out!"

Auntie Jie was saying that everyone else in the neighborhood office was just watching and waiting. "It would be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal," she said. "Nobody wants to lose this piece of fat meat," which made Huang Shanshan so angry that her chest heaved.

"You won't let me rent it out, huh? Fine, I'll just sell it off then, let's see how you manage to take advantage of me!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Chen Zhizhi quickly followed, saying, "Why are you getting angry with them? Should I go find my comrades?"

Huang Shanshan shook her head: "There's no need to bother people over such a small matter. Favors are dwindling! If they won't let me rent it out, I can always transfer the ownership!"

"What? You're going to sell the house?"
