Qiao Ying: "You're back! I was just about to come find you tonight! Did you find out?"
Liu Yun: "I know a little bit, but I don't know the specifics. As soon as I got back, my neighbors surrounded me. They kept asking me questions, and it was all so confusing."
The people chatting at Qiao Ying's house stopped their discussion when they saw Liu Yun. After all, they were talking about the demolition and relocation, and they didn't want an outsider to get involved.
Qiao Ying: "Oh! I forgot to introduce you. This is Liu Yun. She has several shops and a few houses, but she has been on business trips in Guangzhou for the past three or four months. She just got back today and didn't know about the demolition! She just got back and came over as soon as she heard the news."
"Oh! I see!"
Upon hearing that they were not outsiders, everyone became more enthusiastic. The main issue was that they hadn't reached an agreement with the developer yet, and they were afraid that outsiders would cause trouble, since there are always people who can't stand to see others succeed.
Upon learning that she was also a homeowner in the area, they immediately invited Liu Yun to join their discussion.
“I heard the developer wants to pay double the compensation, but we can’t agree to that! In Guangzhou, they’re offering 2.5 times the compensation! Even if they can’t pay 2.5 times, we have to negotiate and get a higher price. This is in the collective interest, so we can’t give in!”
"What if they think it's too high and don't want to demolish it? Then we'll end up with nothing."
"This is definitely not something that can be settled in a short time. We need to set a high price first so that there is room for negotiation. Besides, the demolition of this area was agreed upon by them, so they won't just say they won't demolish it."
"That's right. Everyone must not give in. Every family has at least 50 or 60 square meters of living space. If we reach an agreement, we might get an extra 30 or 40 square meters!"
"Indeed, it is precisely at times like these that we must unite. Don't tell anyone outside, and don't be fooled by those who can't stand seeing others do well."
"Don't worry, Aunt Luo, this is real benefit, and everyone's smart enough to understand."
"Okay, that's all for now, Xiao Liu! There's a meeting the day after tomorrow, don't forget!"
Liu Yun: "Ah! Okay, I won't forget."
…………
After some discussion, Liu Yun finally understood the whole story.
However, she felt that she couldn't handle haggling with a group of old ladies, so she had to call her parents back quickly.
When dealing with the old ladies, Yu's mother has to take the lead for her.
Upon returning home, Liu Yun immediately called Yu's mother.
When Liu Yun called, Yu's parents had just arrived home.
I wonder if it was because of the previous incident involving Yu's father's illness and retirement that Yu Qianwen and Yu Qianyou were provoked.
This time, when Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu came back, they took turns eating dinner at each of their homes.
They had just finished eating, and Yu Qianyou had just dropped them off at home when he heard the phone ringing as soon as he entered the house.
Yu's mother hurriedly went inside. Usually, at this time, Liu Yun and Yu Qian would make the phone call.
Liu Yun has been traveling alone in Guangzhou these past few days, and her mother is a little worried about her.
Moreover, she also noticed that Liu Yun usually doesn't make phone calls, and when she does, it's always something important.
Mother: "Hey."
Liu Yun: "Mom, have you eaten yet?"
It was indeed Liu Yun. "We ate at your third brother's house. He just brought us back. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Upon hearing that there were people nearby, Liu Yun didn't hesitate and directly brought up the matter of the demolition.
"It's like this, I just came back from Guangshi. There's something going on here in Xiangshi that I don't know how to handle. I'd like to ask you to come back and help me, Mom. I don't know if you have time."
Mother Yu: "I'm fine here, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Yun: "It's the same thing that happened in Guangzhou a while ago, but there are still troubles here, and a lot of things to deal with. I don't know how to handle it."
Just like in Guangzhou, Yu's mother immediately realized it was a demolition.
At this point, she had to admire her daughter-in-law's luck. The apartment building that had just been demolished and allocated hadn't even been renovated yet, and now this one was going to be demolished.
Mother Yu: "Then we'll go back tomorrow."
Liu Yun: "Okay, I'll pick you up at the station tomorrow. We have a meeting the day after tomorrow."
Mother Yu: "Okay, I understand. You've just gotten back, so you probably haven't eaten yet! Go eat first! We'll go back tomorrow, you don't need to pick us up."
Liu Yun: "No, call me tomorrow after you and Dad get on the train."
Mother Yu: "Alright! Alright! Go eat!"
Hearing what her mother said, she was indeed hungry. She had eaten something on the train at noon, but she hadn't eaten yet!
However, I still need to call Yu Qianhe first and ask him to come back.
Judging from the dust in his house, Yu Qian must be staying in the dormitory every day, and he must be shuttling between the school, the laboratory, and the factory.
After finishing the call, I quickly went out to find something to eat to soothe my rumbling stomach.
After they finished eating and returned home, Yu Qianhe had already come back as well.
Yu Qianhe: "Wife, you're finally back."
Liu Yun: "Yes. Did you know that the Tang District is going to be demolished?"
Yu Qianhe: "I know some things. Shenyang told me about it the day before yesterday, but I don't know the specifics now. Do we have several shops there?"
Liu Yun: "There are a few more houses, but they are scattered around."
Yu Qian raised an eyebrow when he heard about his wife's several sets of clothes, but didn't say anything more.
He also admired his wife's luck; with these successive demolitions, she could get what many people couldn't achieve even after a lifetime of hard work.
His luck is simply unbelievable, and his wife probably owns a lot of houses, but it's definitely not a small number.
Not only his wife's name, but also his own name and the names of his five children, there are quite a few.
