Chapter 851 Everyone Wants a House
So, Jia Zhang swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and just glared at Liu Haizhong fiercely. After all, what else could she say? Could it be a fight?
Liu Haizhong was sitting in the courtyard, watching Jia Zhang approaching him aggressively, and he had a good idea of what she was going to say. Before Jia Zhang could speak, Liu Haizhong looked at her and said impatiently, "Alright, Jia Zhang, I'm only saying a few more words to you because of your age. Don't you see what Yi Zhonghai has become? He's just a third-level fitter. Who can you talk to about this?" Liu Haizhong said, curling his lips with disdain.
Jia Zhang had expected Liu Haizhong to go along with her as usual, but she hadn't expected him to say that. She was stunned for a moment, and though she felt a little angry, she had to admit that what Liu Haizhong said made some sense. Yi Zhonghai looked so down and out now that it seemed like there was really nothing left to say.
Just when Jia Zhang was speechless and didn't know how to respond, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Liu Haizhong, with a hint of threat in her tone, and said, "Old Liu, don't force me. Although Yi Zhonghai is no longer the powerful boss he used to be, I can tell Gu Nan about this. Think carefully about what the consequences will be." Jia Zhang knew that Gu Nan was now the deputy director and had considerable power in the factory. If he knew something, it might cause a big stir, and Liu Haizhong would definitely not want to see that happen.
Liu Haizhong's heart skipped a beat when he heard what Jia Zhang said. Although he felt that Gu Nan would not necessarily intervene in this matter because of a few words from Jia Zhang, Gu Nan was the deputy factory director after all, and he really could not afford to offend her. If he really annoyed Jia Zhang, she would go to Gu Nan and exaggerate things, and he might be in trouble. Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong's attitude softened instantly. He looked at Jia Zhang, smiled and said, "Jia Zhang, how about we talk it over? We are all from the same courtyard, and we will see each other every day. There is no need to make things too awkward."
Jia Zhang was also a little hesitant at this moment. She originally thought she had a sure win and could achieve her goal, but she didn't expect Liu Haizhong to know about it. Now the situation has become a little complicated, and she feels that she should go back and discuss with her family to see how to deal with it. So, she looked at Liu Haizhong and said harshly: "Think about it carefully. If I am not satisfied with this matter, I will definitely not let it go." After that, she turned and left, leaving Liu Haizhong there with a helpless look on his face.
At this moment, Liu Guangfu walked out of the house, looked at his father, and asked curiously, "Dad, why did Jia Zhang come here? What does she want from you?"
Liu Haizhong stood there, his face filled with shock and annoyance. He had never imagined that Jia Zhang would reach so far. Originally, he had figured that Yi Zhonghai was only a third-level fitter now, his status in the courtyard was much lower than before, and Yan Bugui from the front yard was always timid and unlikely to get involved in the deaf old lady's house. But he never expected that Jia Zhang would be so clever this time and actually pushed Gu Nan out. Now, things became very difficult.
Liu Haizhong instinctively wanted to discuss countermeasures with Liu Guangtian, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that Liu Guangtian was still imprisoned and could not be relied on at all. In desperation, he waved his hand and said to Liu Guangfu, "Alright, you better listen outside."
Liu Guangfu looked at his father, didn't dare to say anything more, nodded obediently, and turned to leave. In his mind, Liu Haizhong was a madman with a bad temper. If he said a few more words, he might really be beaten black and blue.
After Liu Guangfu left, Liu Haizhong looked out the door and muttered to himself, "Although the deaf old lady's house is not small, I have already planned to leave it for Liu Guangqi to marry. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are two wild boys. They may not care about the house, but Liu Guangqi is different. I still hope he can stay at home so that he can have a stable home in the future."
Liu Haizhong had been desperate to secure this house for Liu Guangqi, but now Jia Zhang had interfered, giving him a headache. He frowned, looked outside again, and thought to himself, "If there's really no other way, I'll give Jia Zhang some money and see if I can get rid of her. After all, this house is too important to Liu Guangqi to give it away so easily."
At this moment, Jia Zhang had left the house. Bang Geng was waiting bored at the door, his eyes occasionally glancing in the direction of Xu Damao's house. Jia Zhang knew that Xu Damao wouldn't be back anytime soon, but she also knew that his parents were not easy to deal with. In the past, Yi Zhonghai had been able to suppress them with his prestige and power within the courtyard. But now, Yi Zhonghai was only a third-level fitter, and his influence within the courtyard was much less than before. Who would still care about him as much as before?
Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng, furious. She said angrily, "Let's go back. We need to discuss this matter with your mother. I didn't expect Liu Haizhong to be so unreasonable and actually want to occupy someone else's house."
Banggeng had originally thought the matter would be resolved smoothly, but he hadn't expected such a hassle. Feeling irritated, he turned and headed home. Actually, Banggeng wasn't particularly concerned about the house issue right now. After all, he was about to leave for the countryside, so what was the point of worrying so much? Even if his family took over the house, it wouldn't be his turn, and he didn't know when he would be able to return.
Banggeng walked and pondered, and thought that he could go to Xu Damao's house when he had time. In his mind, Xu Damao must have a lot of money hidden, and maybe he could find an opportunity to make some money.
Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai dragged their exhausted bodies back to the courtyard. In the past, Yi Zhonghai's work tasks were relatively easy, but recently, for some reason, the workload suddenly increased, and he felt a little breathless. Yi Zhonghai's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew that Ma Jiefang must have listened to Gu Nan's words and deliberately made trouble for him. But now he could only endure it silently. After all, he was only a third-level fitter now. Those former apprentices showed disdain to him, so how could he dare to say anything more?
