A wise family would immediately send a representative in, whether to enter or not, and would always listen to the rules before making a decision.
Only one-third of the 100 households are allowed to enter. If you don't hurry, the opportunity will be taken by someone else.
Only a few families were still entangled with the security guards.
After the representatives entered, they learned that the community could only provide three apartments for each of them to live in.
Furthermore, each house is not occupied by a single family.
The smallest is 280 square meters, housing 4 families. The 320 square meter apartment houses 5 families. The 480 square meter apartment will cram in 7 families.
The remaining 14 households were temporarily accommodated on the bus.
After the resettlement houses are built, each family will be allocated a single room of about 15 square meters.
The families of heroes come here seeking a safe place to stay, so they won't have to worry about not being able to sleep soundly.
The poor conditions and the cramped living conditions were bearable, but what was unbearable was having to pay grain taxes for housing.
The worst resettlement housing requires a monthly payment of 5 jin of grain.
For those living in proper houses, the smallest is 280 square meters. In addition to the 25 jin of grain that the four families share for rent, they also have to share 25 jin of property management fees every month.
A total of 50 jin of grain needs to be distributed each month, which translates to 12.5 jin per household.
The largest one, at 480 square meters, is even more expensive, with 7 families sharing 120 jin (60 catties) of grain.
Those who moved in but couldn't pay their grain taxes would also be evicted, causing an uproar among the delegates.
In peacetime, a dozen kilograms of grain is nothing. Many people have accepted the fact that the end times are coming. Grain is precious. A dozen kilograms of grain is enough to keep a whole family alive for a month.
An elderly woman slapped her thigh and burst into tears:
"Oh dear, my son died so unjustly! What was he fighting so hard for? No one remembers his kindness. Now that he's gone, I can't go on living either. I have to pay so much in grain just to get a place to live..."
Follow along with a shared sense of righteous indignation:
“This is blatant robbery! I’m going to sue you! We are the families of heroes, you can’t treat us like this.”
Bai Hongwei pushed the matter onto Zuo Ling in order to avoid trouble, so naturally he wouldn't be at the scene.
Professor Jin and his wife are scholars, well-mannered, and unwilling to lower themselves to such a position.
Only Zuo Ling could do things that would offend people.
"Go ahead and sue wherever you want. This is a private residential community, not a charity or a government department. The community only agreed to accept some people because it was trying to reduce the burden on the government. We're giving you priority entry because you are all families of heroes. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to get in the door."
"How dare you speak like that! I'm going to report your boss! Where is your boss? I'll make you pay for what you just said!"
The finger was about to poke Zuo Ling's face.
He's obviously someone who's used to being arrogant and always resorts to filing complaints.
Pushing his hand away, Zuo Ling said coldly:
“I’m just here to help out temporarily. You should tell him to stop making me do it. Do you think I’m a busybody?”
The man was so angry that he felt like he was about to ascend to heaven, his chest heaving for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with a way to deal with Zuo Ling.
Some were unreasonable and argumentative, while others were clear-headed.
“Girl, we have all suffered from disaster. Even if we wanted to pay our dues, we have nothing to pay.”
"Yes, yes, you're making things difficult for us."
"Since it's about reducing the burden on the government, it should at least look like this."
Zuo Ling's expression softened slightly: "Let's talk this out properly, there's still room for discussion."
Hearing that her tone had softened, he cleverly pulled back the person who still wanted to fight with Zuo Ling.
“It’s not just you; we original residents also have to pay grain rations to the property management company, and the rationing ratio is the same as yours. In the current situation, if no one pays their rations, how will the property management company continue to operate?”
The original residents also have to pay grain! Everyone immediately felt at peace.
"We know that everyone is short of money, so the community has a policy to reduce or exempt fees. Not only that, but those who make significant contributions can also exchange their money for food from the community."
Zuo Ling repeated He Guizi's story.
Upon hearing that participating in the community's organized work would not only reduce grain payments but also allow them to exchange for grain, they were immediately informed.
Immediately, some people expressed their willingness to accept the conditions for moving into the community.
Looking at their information, most of them are from farming or working backgrounds, used to manual labor, and chose the cheapest resettlement housing.
Zuo Ling asked Jin Jiaoyuan and his wife to handle their check-in procedures.
The most difficult to get along with are those who sit in offices all year round and have never done any physical labor. After retirement, they live a life of luxury, either raising birds or dressing up in a glamorous manner and dancing in the square every day.
Those who are clear-headed adjust their mindset in time, while those who are immersed in the past glory join the ranks of those who act recklessly.
“I can’t do it. My son died for the country. You can’t treat me like this.”
"My poor daughter, you died in vain! Look, who remembers what you did for the country? Your mother has no way to live, no way to live..."
"The government sent us here, so you should take care of us free of charge. If you don't, I will file a complaint with the government."
"..."
Zuo Ling ignored them and let them make a scene.
All 30 spots were snapped up immediately.
One of them was snatched by Professor Jin's colleague.
Researcher Tang's colleagues dragged their feet and tried to pull him along to get him to hand over less grain, but Researcher Tang had no say in the matter.
All the spots are taken, the rest of you can leave now. Zuo Lingming, the security guard, is clearing the area.
The family members refused to comply and made an even bigger fuss, showing a determination to die here rather than leave the community.
"Get them out of here. Anyone who participates in getting them out will receive 0.5 contribution points."
Knowing that things wouldn't be peaceful today, Zuo Ling applied for contribution points from Bai Hongwei in advance.
In peacetime, the families of heroes must never be touched.
If you dare touch it, you'll be drowned in spittle. What time is it now?
