Chapter 800 Liu Haizhong's suspicion
That day, Liu Haizhong was standing at the door of his house, watching Jia Zhangshi walk to the backyard again. He couldn't help but say to the woman next to him, "Tell me, what on earth is Jia Zhangshi doing? How can she do this? She has nothing to do but run to the backyard every day. What on earth does she want?"
You know, Jia Zhang usually doesn't come to the backyard, but now she comes to the backyard several times a day, so there must be something going on.
The aunt glanced at Liu Haizhong, smiled softly, and said, "You still don't understand? She's just after the deaf old lady's house in the backyard. Apart from this, what else do you think she has in mind?"
Liu Haizhong looked unhappy. He looked at his wife with a gloomy face, his tone full of confusion and dissatisfaction, and asked: "What is going on? How is the matter in the backyard related to her? Why is she meddling in it?" He really couldn't understand how what happened in the backyard was suddenly related to his family.
Liu Haizhong's face showed a helpless smile, and she explained patiently: "You may not know yet, ever since the deaf old lady passed away, everyone in the courtyard has been eyeing this house. Everyone thinks this is an opportunity, and maybe they can find a way to get the house. You have to think of a way quickly, and you can't let others get the first chance." She knew very well how important this house was to her family, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
After hearing this, Liu Haizhong frowned, looked at his wife seriously, and warned: "Remember, don't call her the deaf old lady in the future, you have to call her Zhang Ying. This name is very particular. If it is heard by someone with ulterior motives, who knows what trouble may arise. You have to remember it well, okay?" He knew that in such a sensitive period, any small detail could lead to big problems.
Liu Haizhong's wife nodded quickly and said, "I understand, don't worry. You said that Liu Guangtian doesn't have to go to the countryside anymore, and he is almost at the age to get married. If he doesn't have a house, which girl would be willing to marry him? So we have to find a way to fight for this house no matter what." She looked at Liu Haizhong worriedly, hoping that her husband could come up with a good idea.
After hearing what his wife said, Liu Haizhong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said: "I have my own way to deal with this matter. When the time comes, we will just let Liu Guangtian move in and see who dares to say anything. What can they do to us?" He thought his idea was simply brilliant. Since everyone was eyeing the house, he might as well take the initiative.
Liu Haizhong thought about it and felt that this idea was indeed a good one. After all, Liu Guangtian had just been released from prison, and most people really didn't dare to provoke him easily. If he moved into the house in the backyard, others would probably just stare blankly. So, she nodded in agreement: "Well, your idea will work. With Liu Guangtian there to keep an eye on us, who would dare to take over this house?"
Meanwhile, the most angry family in the courtyard was the Yan family. Originally, the neighborhood office had assigned a quota for the rural program to one of the Yan family and the Liu Haizhong family, and it was initially decided that Liu Guangtian would go. After all, Liu Guangtian's circumstances at the time more closely matched the requirements, and everyone acquiesced to this arrangement.
But who could have imagined that Liu Guangtian would suddenly commit a crime and be sentenced. This unexpected change dramatically altered the course of the entire matter. The people at the subdistrict office had no choice but to find Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong and tell them about the situation.
It now seemed that Yan Jiefang was going to be sent to the countryside. Yan Jiecheng was already working and did not meet the requirements, while Yan Jiekuang was still too young to meet the requirements. Yan Bugui was extremely reluctant; he really did not want his son to suffer in the countryside.
Yan Bugui wondered if he could find someone to help him turn down this rural quota. But he also knew that right now, with the situation at its peak, who would risk taking care of this matter? Who would dare to offend the neighborhood committee at this critical juncture? That would be asking for trouble, wouldn't it be mentally ill? Thinking of this, Yan Bugui felt incredibly depressed and could only sigh inwardly.
The atmosphere in Yan Bugui's household was particularly depressing. Because Liu Guangtian's imprisonment had meant their family had been given a place in the countryside, the family had been forced to gather for a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Yan Bugui sat at the head of the table, his brow furrowed. He glanced at each of his family members and slowly said, "Let's discuss this matter. Liu Guangtian is still in prison, so he definitely can't go to the countryside. So, this place has fallen to our family." Yan Bugui's tone was filled with helplessness and anxiety. After all, this concerned his children's future.
When Yan Jiefang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, should I go to prison too? Then I won't have to go to the countryside." Yan Jiefang had a wishful thinking in his mind. He thought that if he could go to prison like Liu Guangtian, he could avoid going to the countryside.
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui's eyes widened with anger. He quickly shook his head and said, "This matter is no longer viable. Do you think going to jail is a joke? The subdistrict office is now on guard. They know that someone might take advantage of loopholes, so they have already discussed it with the people in the Public Security Bureau. If the crime you committed is minor, you won't be delayed in going to the countryside; if the crime you committed is serious, don't think you can get out easily." Yan Bugui knew clearly in his heart that this opportunistic method was no longer feasible.
The people at the street office really didn't expect that someone would come up with such an idea to exploit a loophole. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, they hurriedly held an emergency discussion with the Public Security Bureau and formulated corresponding response measures.
After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Yan Jiefang was immediately deflated. He looked at Yan Bugui pitifully and asked, "Dad, what do you think I should do?" Yan Jiefang was full of helplessness and confusion, not knowing where his future would go.
Yan Bugui was also extremely anxious at the moment. He really couldn't think of any good solution. He could only nod helplessly and comfort Yan Jiefang, "Jiefang, you go to the countryside first. Dad will definitely find a way to rescue you. Is that okay? Don't worry, Dad won't ignore you." Although Yan Bugui said this, he was not sure in his heart. He just didn't want to let his son be too desperate.
Yan Jiefang wanted to say something more, but seeing Yan Bugui's helpless and exhausted expression, he swallowed the words back. Yan Bugui felt that he was really incompetent and had not been able to make better arrangements for his son. Filled with guilt, he stood up and quietly walked out of the room.
