"Did you always brag that you knew anyone from the relevant departments? Now that the time has come, why don't I see you and go find them?"
"I told you a long time ago that you should have the land deed in your hand. Now it's fine. Why should anyone compensate you without the land deed? This time, the second and third sons have really taken a huge advantage."
Chen Chunjiao originally just went home temporarily to pick up some things. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got home and before she took out the key to open the door, she heard her mother's angry voice coming loudly from the house.
This was the first time she heard her mother reprimanding her father like this. She quickly took out the key and planned to open the door and go in to stop the quarrel between the two, but her father's words stopped her.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? You are not afraid of others hearing you and then talking nonsense in front of your daughter."
The speaker was Chen Chunjiao's father Li Cheng. Obviously he didn't want Chen Chunjiao to hear the content of the conversation between the two today. This was what Chen Chunjiao was confused about. It seemed that her parents were hiding something from her.
After a while, Li Chengcai continued: "When I took out the land deed, wasn't it just to treat my mother's illness? You didn't object at the time. Why are you opening up old scores now?"
"I have never objected to treating your mother, but don't you look at the virtues of the second and third sons, who seem to be unable to pay for it?
I won’t mention that our family paid for the surgery, but the hospital bills were all paid by the same mother. Could it be that they just stood by and watched?
When mom was in the hospital, we took care of her day and night. Even if they were reluctant to pay, they never even went to the hospital to visit. Do you think they are like a family to you?
Our mother hadn't left at that time, and they were already thinking about the distribution of property. It would be better for you to take out the land deed without saying a word as their responsibility to share the hospitalization expenses and take care of our mother.
I want to say it, but have you ever given me a chance to say it? The only time they went to the hospital was before mom left. Aren’t you chilling? "
Chen Chunjiao's mother, Chen Xiaoling, was like a machine gun with a silencer, her voice was lowered, but her words were as loud as a barrage of cannonballs.
"Okay! You took it out even if you didn't take it. What do you think it does?" Li Cheng waved his hand and said impatiently.
Chen Xiaoling took a breath and then continued: "If it weren't for the lack of land deeds, the neighborhood committee wouldn't call you to the meeting, and if I hadn't noticed something was wrong and asked a few questions, our family would still be in the dark!
Don't say it? Is it possible to not say it? I don't know when it will be demolished. Where will we live then? You don't have the ability to make money to build up all those empty lots. Our house only has a small area, and the houses outside are so expensive now.
!The compensation received is not enough for a one-bedroom apartment!
I said you can't let go of your self-righteous dignity and go find the person in charge of the relevant department you know to find out when the demolition will take place and what the compensation plan will be."
"Okay! I'll go to the head office tomorrow!"
Li Cheng felt a little upset after hearing his wife's endless words, so he stood up and said perfunctorily.
"You said tomorrow last week, and now it's tomorrow. Have you found the person? Have you asked?"
Chen Xiaoling obviously knew Li Cheng's temperament very well and exposed him mercilessly.
The person who knew Li Cheng was Chen Chunjiao who was standing outside the door. She knew that if the two of them continued like this, everyone would know about it, so she quickly opened the door and walked into the house.
Li Cheng and Chen Xiaoling in the room were startled by the sudden sound of opening the door, and turned to look at the door at the same time.
"Chunjiao, why are you back?"
When Li Cheng saw it was Chen Chunjiao, a smile appeared on his face that looked like a volcano about to erupt. He took a few steps to help Chen Chunjiao get her bag, and then helped her change her shoes.
"Why don't you call me first when you come back so that dad can pick you up?"
Li Cheng took advantage of Chen Chunjiao's break to change her shoes and asked tentatively, wanting to know if she had listened to what he and his wife had just argued about.
"Oh, I just remembered that I had a notebook at home, so I decided to come back."
Chen Chunjiao just pretended that she didn't understand the meaning of her father's words and said it lightly.
In fact, as Chen Chunjiao said, the test papers for the city's unified examination were handed out today. When Chen Chunjiao planned to summarize the questions she had done wrong during self-study in the evening, she found that her wrong question book was left at home, so this happened.
The temporary return home happened.
However, if Chen Chunjiao hadn't come home temporarily this time, she wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened at home, and her parents were deliberately hiding it from her.
Chen Chunjiao just wanted to stop her parents from getting into an intensifying quarrel, so she didn't say anything after entering the house, she just said that she would stay at home tonight.
After taking a shower, Chen Chunjiao sat on the bed and sorted out her somewhat disturbed thoughts.
The reason why she didn't ask her parents what happened was, firstly, because she stood outside the door and listened for a long time and had basically understood what happened. Secondly, she knew that even if she asked, her parents would not tell her.
, so she didn’t ask any more questions.
Chen Chunjiao cleverly picked up a word from the quarrel between her parents just now, and that was demolition.
Chen Chunjiao's family is in a village, and almost all the people in this village are named Li, unlike her, who takes her mother's surname.
The location is not very good. It is on the edge of the city. There are fertilizer plants and cement plants next to it. The air is not fresh at all.
In the past few years, the real estate boom has been getting higher and higher, and basically there is not much land left in the city. However, the boom shows no sign of retreating, even though housing prices have been falling month after month.
Originally, Chen Chunjiao didn't care much about the big moves made by the nearby fertilizer and cement plants in the past month or so. After all, she was just a child who was about to take the college entrance examination. These things shouldn't concern her.
But thinking about the content of her parents' argument just now, Chen Chunjiao quickly figured it out. I'm afraid the city is planning to develop this area as well.
The fertilizer plant at the front was being demolished, and the cement plant at the back was already empty. No wonder my mother suddenly became nervous. A storm was coming and the building was full of wind!
Chen Chunjiao was lying on the bed, and suddenly she remembered that her grandmother always refused to see her father because he was poor. She remembered that her grandmother always said in front of her, look how well your cousin married, and your aunt's family has moved into a new house.
In Chen Chunjiao's mind, her father, who never smokes, drinks, or goes out to socialize, and who always cares about her health, is her idol.
Chen Chunjiao originally planned to rely on her own efforts to get into a good university, get a full scholarship, no longer be a burden on the family, and then earn some savings while working part-time at university. After graduation, she would be able to support her family after a few years of hard work.
People live in good houses and live a good life.
However, the sudden demolition in front of her suddenly made her feel helpless that time was waiting for no one. She knew that with her parents' not even generous salary and the need to support her education, the family's savings were quite limited. Even if they added
The compensation for demolition and relocation fees is only enough for one low-rent house at most.
But these days, low-rent housing doesn’t just mean you can live in it if your family is in difficulty. The people living in it can still drive luxury cars!
As she was thinking about it, Chen Chunjiao thought of Ye Shaolong again. She remembered that she did not take the initiative to talk to Ye Shaolong today because she was shy. She thought of...
