Chapter 322 Liu Jianping Moves into No. 95 Courtyard

In this heated discussion, Xu Damao's eyes flickered with a sly look. He stroked his chin and thought, "Although this house belongs to the subdistrict office, there must be a reason. I have to find a way to get this house. Yes, I can say that the subdistrict office needs this house for some public welfare activities, and then I will take it over 'naturally'." Thinking of this, Xu Damao's mouth curled up into a barely perceptible smile.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai and Auntie were also discussing at home. Auntie said while knitting a sweater: "It's a waste to leave this house empty. It would be better to have more rooms. What do you think? Should we go to the street office to ask if we can get one?" Yi Zhonghai nodded and thought for a moment: "Well, this is an opportunity. I will go to the street office tomorrow to test the waters."

The next day, Yi Zhonghai came to the street office early and found the person in charge to ask about the vacant house. The person in charge told him that there was no specific arrangement yet, but it would be considered based on the actual situation. After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was secretly happy and felt that he had a chance to get the house.

However, just as Yi Zhonghai was leaving the subdistrict office, Xu Damao also appeared at the door. It turned out that he had expected Yi Zhonghai to come to the subdistrict office and waited here on purpose. When the two met, they both smiled meaningfully.

After returning home, Yi Zhonghai told the aunt about the situation. The aunt said happily: "That's great, as long as we actively strive for it, maybe we can really get a room!" Yi Zhonghai calmly analyzed: "We can't rush this matter, we have to take our time. Let's see how other families react first, and then make plans."

At the same time, Xu Damao was also thinking about how to get the empty room at home. He knew that if he wanted to succeed, he must have sufficient reasons and strategies. So he began to ask around for information and look for opportunities that could be exploited.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more and more tense. Everyone was concerned about the ownership of the vacant room, and everyone hoped to get a better living environment. In this competition, who would win in the end became the most concerned topic.

Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt were not idle either. Second Aunt was cooking while muttering: "It would be great if this house could be given to our family. Haizhong, you have to think of a way, our family also needs this house." Liu Haizhong frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Well, I have to go find those old colleagues and see if I can get them to say something good to the street office to help us get this house."

At the same time, the third uncle and the third aunt were also discussing this matter at home. The third uncle was fanning himself leisurely, with a confident expression on his face, as if he had already made up his mind: "This house, of course, can only be obtained by capable people. Our family also has a certain status in the courtyard, and we must not let others take it first." The third aunt nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement: "Yes, we must come up with a foolproof plan, and we must not let this house fall into the hands of others."

In this way, several residents in the No. 95 courtyard all had their own plans, each of which was thinking about how to take over the house left by Liu Ping'an. Everyone hoped that they could be the lucky one to get this precious property. The whole courtyard was filled with a tense atmosphere, and people's desires and calculations were intertwined, which made people sigh at the complexity and greed of human nature.

In such a tense atmosphere, every corner of the courtyard seemed to be filled with an invisible competitive pressure. The original harmony and warmth between neighbors were replaced by the desire for a house, and everyone's face was full of calculation and expectation.

Although Yi Zhonghai remained calm on the surface, he was like an ant on a hot pot in his heart. He knew that in this war without gunpowder, every step must be taken carefully. He began to appear in the street office more frequently, talking to the person in charge for various reasons, trying to smell a hint of information that would be beneficial to him.

Xu Damao, on the other hand, used his cunning and wit to the extreme. He not only spread rumors that the house might be used for charity activities, but also secretly contacted some influential friends in the street office in an attempt to undermine the hopes of other competitors from within.

Liu Haizhong relied on his past connections and frequently visited old colleagues who might be able to speak for him, each time with a bit of pleading and expectation. Second Auntie prepared sumptuous meals for him at home, hoping to cheer him up, and silently praying that good luck would come to their family.

The third uncle and aunt started an "intelligence war". They collected the latest information about house allocation through various channels, and even pretended to be indifferent in the yard, secretly observing the movements of other families, trying to find a breakthrough.

In this battle for vacant housing, everyone in No. 95 Courtyard has shown their own hidden side. Some people sacrificed their neighborly feelings for the sake of profit, while others saw the ugliness and selfishness of human nature in this competition. However, there are also some people who stick to their principles and bottom line in this storm, and are unwilling to lose more precious things for their own selfishness.

Two days later, when the people in No. 95 courtyard just opened their sleepy eyes and prepared to start a new day, they were surprised to find that Director Wang from the Street Office appeared in the courtyard with his family of four. This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the courtyard was immediately filled with discussions, with various voices intertwined.

"Oh, isn't this Director Wang? Why did he come with his family?" an old lady asked curiously, pointing at Director Wang and his group with the fan in her hand.

"Yes, yes, this family of four looks unfamiliar. Could they be new residents?" Another old man joined the discussion. He squinted his eyes and looked at the family carefully.

"Hey, look, that child is quite cute. I wonder whose family he belongs to." A young girl said with a smile, her eyes full of curiosity about the new neighbor.

The residents of the courtyard gathered around, some whispering to each other, while others came up to ask Director Wang. Director Wang smiled and explained to everyone: "This is Liu Jianping's family who just moved in. I hope everyone can live in harmony in the future."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the family of four beside Director Wang in surprise, then quickly stepped forward, forced a warm smile on his face, and greeted them: "Hey, Director Wang, good morning! Are these our new neighbors? Welcome, welcome!"

Director Wang smiled and nodded, introducing: "Yes, Yi Zhonghai, this is Liu Jianping's family who just moved in. We will be neighbors from now on, so please take good care of them."

Yi Zhonghai was shocked when he heard this. He froze in his tracks, looking back and forth at Liu Jianping's family, and smiled bitterly. It turned out that he had heard of Liu Jianping's name a long time ago. He knew that he was Liu Ping'an's third uncle, worked in the security department of the steel mill, and was a difficult character to deal with.
