Chapter 181 4 Courtyard House Problems.

In the evening, Lu Yuan and his family sat together to eat.

Lu Yuan picked up a piece of fish for Chen Xueru and asked casually.

"Xue Ru, is your cloth shop doing well now?"

When Chen Xueru heard Lu Yuan ask this, she pursed her lips and said.

"What are you doing? Now that the public and private sectors are operating in partnership, the manager sent by the street office knows nothing and is just giving orders blindly all day long.

I am almost annoyed to death by him, but I am still lucky. Xu Huizhen is the unlucky one.

That Fan Jinyou doesn't know anything, and now no customers go to that tavern to drink."

Lu Yuan nodded and then said.

"How about this? We don't want the shop anymore."

When Chen Xueru heard this, she immediately got angry and said.

"No, that won't work. My family has been doing business for a long time and I can't give it up."

"Don't be anxious, just listen to me." Lu Yuan soothed.

“I am not asking you to give up your cloth business, I am only asking you to hand it over to the state.

Now we are implementing public-private partnership, so we should actively respond to national policies."

Chen Xueru frowned, still somewhat reluctant.

Lu Yuan continued to persuade.

“Think about it, if you let the state manage it, you won’t have to worry about those annoying things.

Moreover, the state will also give a certain amount of compensation, and you can use the money to do other more meaningful things."

Chen Xueru was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Lu Yuan's words.

Finally, she sighed and said.

"Okay, I'll think about it. But I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I have to discuss it with grandma."

Lu Yuan nodded to show his understanding.

He knew that this was a difficult decision for Chen Xueru, but it was also a necessary choice. It would indeed be bad for Chen Xueru if the cloth shop stayed.

After all, this is something that could easily cause a big bombing in the future.

After dinner, Lu Yuan took Chen Xueru aside and told her about some pros and cons.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock. Is anyone home? I'm from the neighborhood office!"

Qin Huairu stood up when she heard the noise and looked at Lu Yuan. Did she want to open the door?

She saw Lu Yuan nodded and walked towards the gate.

I opened the door and saw two women with red ties around their arms.

"May I ask who you are?"

Qin Huairu asked a little puzzled after opening the door.

"Comrade, sorry to bother you. I'm Director Wang from Nanluoguxiang, and I'm here to look for Comrade Lu Yuan.

May I ask if he lives here? "

When Qin Huairu heard that it was the Street Office who came to look for her, she turned to look at Lu Yuan who was lying on a chair in the yard.

When Lu Yuan heard Director Wang, he thought that this was the Director Wang who was like the flowing water in the courtyard.

I'm just a little curious why she came to see me.

So Lu Yuan stood up, walked to the gate and said.

"I'm Lu Yuan. What can I do for you?"

Director Wang saw Lu Yuan and told him his purpose.

"That's right, I heard from the three uncles in your courtyard.

It seems like you haven't been back to live in Compound No. 95 for two or three years, right?

We found your wife's address and came here."

Lu Yuan nodded and said.

"Well, I haven't lived back here for two or three years. I live here with my wife.

How come it's illegal for me to live with my wife?"

Director Wang waved his hand quickly and said.

"No, no, what I mean is, if you don't want to live there, just sell the house to our street office.

As you know, housing is tight right now, so see if you can vacate a house for our subdistrict office."

Director Wang said this while looking at the structure of the yard.

It seems that this courtyard is not too big, with a main house and two side rooms on the left and right.

I secretly calculated in my mind that there should be no problem coming here this time.

Seeing Director Wang say this, Lu Yuan immediately felt relieved. When he and Qin Huairu got their marriage certificate.

Lu Yuan helped Qin Huairu to register her household registration in the city, and even this courtyard was registered in Qin Huairu's name.

Otherwise, if I came to see him today, I would probably just come to inform him.

Instead of coming here to buy a house.

However, Lu Yuan frowned and said casually.

"Director Wang, I know everything you said, but I only have that house, and the one living here is my wife.

So I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request."

Director Wang heard what Lu Yuan said and then said.

“Well, since you don’t want to sell it, forget it. But you see, you don’t live there, so why don’t our street office help you rent it out.

How about that? You can have a rent of three dollars a month."

Lu Yuan smiled and thought that Director Wang really was not giving up.

"Director Wang, I still go back to live in that house occasionally, so I won't bother the street office to help rent it out."

Director Wang obviously didn't expect Lu Yuan to refuse. She was stunned for a moment and then continued.

"Comrade Lu, please think about it again. Houses in the city are in short supply right now. Your house will be empty anyway. You might as well rent it out and earn some income."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

"No need, Director Wang, I don't need that few dollars."

Of course he would not rent out the house. If the courtyard house was demolished in the future, the loss would be huge.

Upon seeing this, Director Wang knew it was pointless to continue talking, so he could only speak angrily.

"Well, if you change your mind, you can always contact me."

After saying that, she took her people away.

Lu Yuan looked at their backs as they left, secretly feeling lucky that he had transferred the yard to Qin Huairu a long time ago, otherwise it would have been difficult to deal with them today.

He turned around and went back into the house and found Chen Xueru and Qin Huairu chatting.

"That person just now was Director Wang from the Street Office. She said she wanted to buy our house in the courtyard."

Lu Yuan briefly explained what happened.

Qin Huairu was a little surprised.

"Then why don't you sell it?"

Lu Yuan put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile.

“That’s the home my parents left me, I can’t bear to sell it.

Besides, I still have a great use for the house."

Chen Xueru asked curiously.

"What's the big deal?"

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously.

"Keep it a secret, you will know later."

Then they sat in the yard to enjoy the cool and chat, and only returned to their room to sleep when it got dark.

As for the three children, they were all thrown into the east wing.

This is Director Wang.

After the two came out of the yard, the clerk on the side looked at Director Wang with confusion, as if he found it difficult to understand what had just happened, and couldn't help but ask.

"Director Wang, why were you so polite to that guy just now?"

Director Wang smiled slightly and explained earnestly.

"So what if you're not welcome? After all, that's the only house he owns.

The place where he lives now actually belongs to his wife.

Tell me, what else can I say in this situation?

If he himself is unwilling, then we can only give up.

Well, don't think too much about it, let's just leave it at that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Wang turned and walked away towards home.

The clerk was left standing there alone, pondering Director Wang's words.

After a while, she calmed down and prepared to go home to rest.

On Lu Yuan's side, he turned on his telekinesis and watched the meeting going on in the yard.

So he looked at everyone in the yard and found that Yi Zhonghai was still the boss just like in the original plot.

The second uncle is played by Xu Fugui, and the third uncle is played by Yan Bugui.

Looking at their setup, it was the same as in the drama, with a square table in the middle.

Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle, with Xu Fugui and Yan Bugui sitting on both sides.

Judging from their current appearance, they must have just finished their meal and are preparing for a meeting.

Lu Yuan was a little curious about the purpose of their meeting.

Lu Yuan decided to listen to what they were discussing and started to listen attentively.

Just listen to what Yi Zhonghai says.

"I called everyone here today because I have something to discuss with you. As you know, the subdistrict office has arranged for the three of us to help manage the compound.

So, the three of us discussed and decided to take care of the sanitation of our yard, as well as the public toilet outside our yard.

That also needs to be cleaned up, so the meeting is to deal with this issue."

Yi Zhonghai looked around at everyone and continued.

"We plan to let each household take turns cleaning the yard and toilet. This is fair and can ensure a clean environment. Do you have any opinions?"

Xu Fugui echoed.

"I think the uncle's suggestion is a good one. If everyone contributes, the yard will be cleaner."

Yan Bugui looked embarrassed.

"But this toilet is smelly and dirty, who is willing to clean it..."

At this moment, Lu Yuan used his telekinesis to hear someone mumbling softly.

"Why should we sweep? This should be the job of the street office."

Yi Zhonghai patted the table.

"Everyone, be quiet! This is for our common living environment, and everyone should take responsibility.

If no one wants to live there, can people still live there?"

Yan Bugui nodded helplessly.

"Well, uncle, you decide how to arrange it."

Yi Zhonghai thought for a while.

"Then starting from tomorrow, in a clockwise order, each family will take turns cleaning for a week.

I'll make a roster and post it in the yard."

At this time Xu Damao jumped out from the side and said.

"Uncle, what about Lu Yuan's house? He's not here, who will clean it then?"

As soon as Xu Damao said this, someone immediately came out to agree with him.

"That's right, Lu Yuan's family, his house is also in the yard.

Then will An arrange for his family to clean up the house?"

At this time Yan Bugui stood up and said.

"Everyone, please be quiet. As for Lu Yuan's family, I went to talk to Director Wang from the Street Office today.

She said she would go look for Lu Yuan, maybe the house had been taken back by Director Wang.

And even if he's not here, we still have to make arrangements, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded. "Third uncle is right. The house issue is now handed over to the street office. Let's talk about it later when the situation changes."

Xu Damao refused to give in.

"What if the neighborhood office doesn't care? They can't just ask us to clean for them all the time!"

Yan Bugui's eyes rolled.

“However, if no one cleans Lu Yuan’s house, who will clean it for Lu Yuan? When the time comes, Lu Yuan will get the rent from renting out the house.

Just let the family ask the street office for it, and treat it as hard work fee."

Yi Zhonghai thought this method was feasible.

"Okay, that's settled. Does anyone have any other suggestions?"

At this moment, He Yushui stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"Uncle, I think what you said is a little wrong! As far as I know, Lu Yuan's family seems to have never used the public toilet outside. They have their own toilet at home!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the yard fell into silence.

In fact, everyone knew very well that Lu Yuan's house did have a separate toilet.

I just said this on purpose because Lu Yuan was not here at the moment.

Seeing that He Yushui dared to jump out to refute, Yan Bugui's eyes rolled, a plan came to his mind, and then he said.

"Rainwater, it's not appropriate for you to say that. We're not just talking about cleaning the toilet, we're also talking about cleaning the yard! We can't let him evade responsibility, can we? Don't you agree?"

As soon as Yan Bugui said this, Xu Damao immediately agreed.

"That's right, what the Third Uncle said is right, we are all from the same courtyard.

Whether he lives here or not, the house is his after all.

Is he going to leave the organization and affect the unity of our courtyard? "

He Yushui was so shocked by these words that he had nothing to say.

After all, unity is something that cannot be refuted.

Then Yi Zhonghai looked around and saw that no one had any objection, so he made the decision.

"That's settled then. We'll try this method out for a while. If there are any problems, we'll discuss solutions."

After the meeting, Xu Damao found Yan Bugui and whispered.

"Third Uncle, I think Lu Yuan's house will definitely be taken away by the street office.

At that time, we will not only get the cleaning fee, but we may even get a share of the house."

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After all, he went to tell Director Wang about Lu Yuan's family situation.

It’s because his family is large, his children are all grown up, and his house is too small.

That's why we have to take this into account.

On the other side, Lu Yuan listened to the entire meeting through telekinesis, with a sneer on his face.
