Director Wang said, “How is this taking advantage of the public? The country is currently advocating for the Patriotic Health Campaign.
One of the key renovation projects is to renovate the dirty, messy, and chaotic communal courtyards.
That cluttered room was dilapidated, severely impacting the aesthetics and safety.
The Street Office originally assessed that if anyone wanted the room, they would be subsidized for repair costs.
The price for that room was sixty yuan, not a penny more or less, which is the same as the original price.”
Of course, only Luo Xiao Qing could afford this price.
If it were anyone else, Director Wang could have said the house was one hundred and sixty yuan, and it would have been fine.
Both prices were in line with national policies and regulations.
This is like in the future, when people go to the business office to pay their heating bills, if they have a connection, they can pay without a card and even get a gift.
If they don't have a connection, they must bring a card and be treated with indifference.
Luo Xiao Qing was someone Feng Peng favored, so how could she let Luo Xiao Qing suffer a loss?
Luo Hui Zhen, in a daze, paid the sixty yuan and took the deed. Director Wang then pulled her towards the courtyard:
“Come on, let's go to the courtyard and talk to Xiao Qing about the game. New Year's is only a few days away!”
“Okay!”
As they entered the courtyard, Yan Bu Gui, with a flattering smile, said, “Director Wang, what brings you here?”
Director Wang said, “Third Uncle, I'm here to ask Xiao Qing for a favor!”
Yan Bu Gui was stunned. Ask Xiao Qing for a favor?
The Street Office Director asked Xiao Qing for a favor?
Wouldn't this mean owing Xiao Qing a favor?
Yan Bu Gui's eyes lit up, feeling that there was an advantage to be gained. He quickly followed them into the courtyard.
Qin Huai Ru was washing clothes by the water basin. Seeing Director Wang, she said, “Director Wang!”
“Oh, Mrs. Jia, sewing shoes?”
Jia Zhang Shi said, “Yeah, Director Wang, visiting?”
“Yeah, I'm asking Xiao Qing for a favor!”
In an instant, everyone in the courtyard came out of their houses and looked curiously towards the backyard.
“Our Street Office Director asking Xiao Qing for a favor?”
Qin Huai Ru's eyes turned red. Thinking of Luo Xiao Qing's hunting earnings and two bicycles, her heart ached.
How come Luo Xiao Qing was becoming increasingly successful?
Would Luo Xiao Qing eventually be more successful than Jia Dong Xu?
Jia Zhang Shi grumbled, “Humph! What's she got to be proud of? No real job. Once the money from hunting runs out, don't expect to find a wife! She's doomed to be childless!”
Seeing Yan Bu Gui following behind, Qin Huai Ru quickly put down her clothes and followed Director Wang towards the backyard.
Hearing the commotion, Deaf Old Lady was calculating how to discuss the matter of the house with Director Wang.
“Director Wang!”
“Deaf Old Lady, are you doing well?”
Director Wang's tone softened slightly upon seeing Deaf Old Lady.
Deaf Old Lady said, “Good! Good! It's all thanks to the country and Director Wang that I'm able to enjoy my later years!”
“As long as you are doing well, the country is happy. Old Lady, I'm here on business. I won't chat anymore.”
“Okay...”
Deaf Old Lady was about to mention the house, but Director Wang had already entered Luo Xiao Qing's room. “Xiao Qing!”
“Director Wang, what brings you here?”
“I wouldn't come here without a purpose!”
Director Wang then talked to Luo Xiao Qing about hunting.
Luo Xiao Qing said, “No problem, Director Wang, just tell me how much game you need. I was planning to go deep into the mountains before the New Year.”
Director Wang said, “The game demand is quite large. Our unit, and your Uncle Feng's unit, need at least thirty pigs.”
Thirty pigs?
That wasn't much. He still had a few pigs in his space. He could utilize the mountain spring water and hunt in a few more mountains.
No problem. The issue was transportation. Although he had space, if he suddenly brought back thirty wild boars, wouldn't that expose him?
“Xiao Qing, is there any problem?”
Luo Xiao Qing said, “If I go to a deeper mountain, thirty pigs should be about right.
The problem is how I'll transport them back!”
“Oh, I thought it was something serious. Your Uncle Feng's unit has a Jeep. I'll ask him to send someone to help you transport them.”
Luo Xiao Qing said, “Director Wang, I know how to drive a Jeep. Why don't I drive it myself?”
“I need to ask your Uncle Feng about that. I'll go back and ask, and I'll give you the answer later.”
“Okay!”
Director Wang walked out of the room. Deaf Old Lady was about to mention the house, but Director Wang turned back and said, “Right, Hui Zhen, I'll have the construction team come over this afternoon.
When they arrive, you can talk to them about how you want to renovate the cluttered room.”
“Okay, thank you, Director Wang!”
Luo Hui Zhen saw Director Wang out. Yan Bu Gui looked eager, “Widow Luo, are you going to renovate your house?”
Luo Hui Zhen said, “Yeah, Xiao Qing earned some money from hunting. She wants to get married, so I thought I'd renovate the house first.
If I don't, how will girls agree to marry her?”
“Did you buy the cluttered room?”
“Yeah, it's right next to Xiao Qing's room. In the future, when she has children, they'll have space to live in.”
“How much did you buy it for?”
Yan Bu Gui's eyes widened. He hadn't even bought a house for Yan Jie Cheng, but Luo Xiao Qing was already preparing for her future children?
Hearing this, Deaf Old Lady also became anxious. This room was the one she had her eye on.
Luo Xiao Qing's main room was gone, and now the cluttered room was also snatched away?
Luo Hui Zhen said, “This room was originally one hundred and sixty yuan, but it needs repairs. Director Wang said the country is providing subsidies now, so I got it for sixty yuan.”
Yan Bu Gui was instantly filled with regret. He thought the house was one hundred and sixty yuan plus repair costs.
That would be over three hundred yuan. It would be better to buy the old Lin family's house.
But if it was sixty yuan, the repair costs would only be around one hundred yuan.
That was much cheaper than the old Lin family's house. Why hadn't he thought of asking the Street Office earlier?
