Zhao Xiaocao thought Qi Mengmeng was frightened, so she quickly patted her hands and said, "Xiaozhou is usually a good child. Something happened at home. Don't be afraid."
Xiaozhou let out a loud "ah" and started crying again.
"Uncle, Uncle Li, you watched me grow up. You must remember what my father said. My father said that the house should be divided equally between my brother and me. But now, my brother is going to give me a small house like this."
"My brother is just taking advantage of his age. He is only thinking about his son's marriage, but I haven't even found a wife yet. Dad, why did you die so early?"
Qi Mengmeng watched Xiaozhou crying with interest. It was the first time for her to see a young man crying so gracefully.
But the other people's faces were not good. Master Li frowned and scolded: "Xiaozhou, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely. You are a grown man now, it's too embarrassing to be like this."
Xiaozhou blew his nose casually, fell to the ground, pointed at the door he had just broken through and said, "Uncle, how can I talk to him nicely? My brother is going to give me a small house like this, but he wants to occupy the new yard, and I don't agree."
A middle-aged man came out of the door and gave Uncle Li a bitter smile: "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Uncle Li waved his hands and said, "Dazhou, what's going on? If you have anything to say, talk it over at home. Your father just passed away. If you are like this now, others will laugh at you."
Dazhou nodded continuously: "Uncle Li is right. I will go back and talk to Xiaozhou about it."
"No," Xiaozhou grabbed Uncle Li's arm and shouted at Dazhou, "Brother, today I will expose our family's shame. Dad is dead, and I need to think more about myself."
Dazhou's face looked very unhappy. At this time, more and more people were in the alley. It was almost time to go to work, and everyone had to pass by here.
Xiao Zhou looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He held his head high and said to everyone, "As everyone knows, my father died last month. Before he died, he said that my house would be divided equally between my brother and me."
"But my brother only gave me such a small house. What can I do with this house? Isn't this bullying me because I am young?"
"I am not afraid of losing face today. I just want to ask everyone to judge. Tell me, is my brother's behavior fair?"
"He is more than ten years older than me, yet he still bullies me like this. I feel wronged..."
Xiaozhou cried loudly, tears streaming from his eyes.
Everyone present was talking about it, and Dazhou quickly explained, "My father said that the house should be divided equally, one for each person. My Qiu Sheng is getting married soon, and he will live in the big yard with our family."
"Xiaozhou is alone, so it's just right for him to live in this yard. Each person has his own yard."
His explanation seems to make sense.
The neighbors looked at each other and said different things. Some said Xiaozhou was right, while others said Dazhou was right.
Qi Mengmeng listened to the gossip with great interest, but she did not forget to look at her watch.
Seeing that time was almost running out, she had to remind her master.
Master Li had already noticed that it was getting late, and reminded everyone who had to go to work to leave quickly. He said that the matter of the two brothers' house could be discussed later.
You have jobs no matter where you are. You can’t abandon your job just for the sake of a house.
Xiaozhou pulled Dazhou's arm and asked him to say something. Qi Mengmeng and Master Li were urged by Zhao Xiaocao to go to work first.
On the way, Qi Mengmeng curiously asked about the situation of the big and small continents.
The family's surname is Zhou. They have two sons, Dazhou and Xiaozhou. However, Dazhou got married early and is 36 years old this year. His son Qiu Sheng is 18 years old. Xiaozhou is the same age as Qiu Sheng, but half a year older than him. He was born in spring.
This house near Master Li's house was bought by his family from someone else five years ago. For some unknown reason, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou moved here with their young son, and Dazhou only comes here occasionally.
Lao Zhou’s wife died of a sudden illness, and a month later, Lao Zhou also died after falling.
When Lao Zhou died, some neighbors did hear him say that the house should be divided equally, but no one knew how it was divided.
Now the big continents and the small continents each have their own opinions, and this problem is really difficult to resolve.
The house where Dazhou lives has five rooms and is half the size of the house where Xiaozhou lives.
Dazhou's son Qiu Sheng has already found a partner and is said to be getting married next year, but Xiaozhou doesn't even have a partner. He is now an orphan, so it is hard to say whether he will get married in the future.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely true that the continent is taking advantage.
But this is a family matter after all, and no one should interfere.
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect that there were so many things involved. She thought that Xiaozhou might not be so easily persuaded. There would be more things in the future, but they had nothing to do with her.
"Master, I want to buy a house in the city. Is there anyone selling houses around you?"
Before entering the factory, Qi Mengmeng told Master Li about her demands.
Master Li was a little surprised: "Why did you think of buying a house? I remember you have a dormitory in the factory?"
Nowadays, most people are waiting for the factories to distribute houses, and few people want to buy their own houses. Of course, there is no commercial housing for sale now.
When the Qi family moved to a new house, they also moved to a house they built themselves.
Qi Mengmeng only said that with her qualifications, she didn't know when she would be able to get a house at the food factory, and if she had the chance, she would like to buy her own house.
Although Master Li didn't understand, he still nodded and said he would ask Qi Mengmeng about it.
Fortunately, the weather was getting warmer and it was getting dark later. When Qi Mengmeng got home from work, it was still daylight, and she was not so anxious to buy a house.
Qi Mengmeng would go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some food after get off work every Friday so that she wouldn’t have to cook when she got home in the evening.
That day, after she bought some groceries, she rode her bike for a while when she was stopped by two people.
The two men were dressed in rags and asked Qi Mengmeng to give them thirty yuan as a bribe.
Qi Mengmeng looked at the empty street and found it a little funny. How brave were these two people to rob military dependents here?
"How dare you ask for money here?"
Sun Zhiwen suddenly appeared from the side and stood in front of Qi Mengmeng.
"What does it have to do with you? Give me the money quickly." The two men suddenly became aggressive and took out knives.
"Comrade, don't be afraid. I'm here and I won't let them hurt you." Sun Zhiwen turned and said to Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng: ...I wasn’t afraid anyway.
Sun Zhiwen rushed directly towards the two people. The two men looked at each other, and the three of them started fighting.
Qi Mengmeng frowned, wondering if Sun Zhiwen had a bump on his head. The two people opposite him were holding knives, but he went up to them with his bare hands.
"The police are here." Qi Mengmeng looked back and shouted.
