Chapter 142 A New Neighbor Arrives at the Siheyuan (55)

Looking at the two groups of people arguing fiercely, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a headache.

"I said, please stop arguing!
Uncle Zhang, your house now belongs to the Beiping Military Control Commission. Uncle Wu and his family are just living here.

Even if you say your throat is smoking, they can’t do anything about it!”

When He Yuzhu mentioned this, the angry Wu Dafu and the others also reacted and looked at Zhang Bingyan and the others in disbelief.
"What do you mean? You guys want the ownership of the house!"

However, Zhang Bingyan and the others did not answer Wu Dafu, but stared at He Yuzhu blankly for a while before asking,
“Didn’t you say a few days ago that the street had distributed all the houses to the people?
How come it has become the Military Control Commission now?"

Seeing that they really didn't know, the neighbors looked at them with mocking expressions and talked about the Military Control Commission's matter regarding the house.

When Zhang Bingyan figured out the house issue, they looked at each other in bewilderment and said,

"Is it true that we can't get the house back?"

"What are you thinking!

Have you ever seen how many rich people fled from Peking during the siege last year? How many people lost their fortunes after being shaved by the bald men? How many more people will follow you and flee back to Peking?

If you can get your house back from the Military Control Commission by making a scene, others will surely follow suit.
I don't know how many things will happen by then.
If that were to happen, the city of Beiping would immediately be in chaos."

"Of course not. If things go wrong, it might not be as simple as making a scene. It might even cost lives."

……

Just as everyone was laughing at Zhang Bingyan and the others, a cold and sharp voice came from outside the crowd.

"Humph! You are the only ones who want to take back the house.

When the city was besieged, he fled to the south.
It's no exaggeration to say that you are die-hard supporters of baldness.
The reason why you are running back to Peking now is simply because your family property has been confiscated and you are disappointed with Baldy.

The Military Control Commission did not punish you, but instead settled you down, which can be considered as a leniency.

You still have the nerve to make trouble here and demand the house."

Hearing the sound coming from behind, everyone subconsciously turned around and saw Lin Zheng and Li Hongying standing outside with a patrol group of soldiers.

"Director Li, Director Lin!"

"Director Li, Director Lin!"

……

Seeing Li Hongying and Lin Zheng coming, Wu Dafu and the others greeted them with a smile, but Zhang Bingyan and the others couldn't help but tremble.

"Director Li, Director Lin!"

Seeing the flattering smiles on the faces of the few people, Li Hongying did not show them a good face at all, and said with a dark face,
"I was wondering why you had to live in Maoer Hutong. I guess this is what you were planning.
Whether you want to return to the house or just want to live back,

I tell you, it's impossible!

I think you should stop living in Nanluoguxiang. There are houses in Longxugou and the rent is low. Why don’t you go there?
Stay away, so you don't cause any more trouble."

When they heard that Li Hongying was going to send them to the slums in Longxugou, Zhang Bingyan and the others took a deep breath and began to beg for mercy.

But who is Li Hongying?

The military-to-civilian cadres who came out of the army also fought on the battlefield.
Zhang Bingyan and his gang had already fooled her. Li Hongying naturally couldn't stand it and was completely unmoved by their pleas.
Even directly issued an ultimatum,

"Do you want to go by yourselves, or should I ask the patrol team to take you there?" Faced with the tough Li Hongying, Zhang Bingyan and his men did not even dare to say a word, and they did not want to be escorted to Longxugou by the patrol team behind her.

I had no choice but to go back, pack my things and leave Maoer Hutong obediently.

After dealing with Zhang Bingyan and others, Li Hongying went to He Yuzhu again.
"Zhu Zi, you must have known their purpose for a long time, so you refused to rent the house to them."

After hearing what Li Hongying said, Yan Bugui didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was strange.

He Yuzhu smiled and explained,
"Sister Hongying, it's not like I don't know the situation of the houses allocated by the street. I just didn't think about it that way at all.

Who knew they would think like this? "

After hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, Li Hongying felt that she was overthinking.
Not only did she not see that so many neighbors at the scene didn't react, but didn't she herself also think that no one would do this?

"That's right. It seems that I have wronged you. I apologize to you."

"That's not necessary, Sister Hongying. Just make things clear."

The two talked for a while, and then Lin Zheng and Li Hongying went back to their work and reported what had just happened to the district office.

In the following period, quite a number of people who had fled south returned to Beiping.
But after this incident,

When the Military Control Commission arranged their accommodation, it deliberately kept it away from the street where they originally lived.

And Li Hongying inevitably came to the courtyard to look for the deaf old lady again.
Although the deaf old lady was not very happy,

But He Yuzhu knew that this was a matter of time, so he urged the deaf old lady to agree.
In this way, with his insistence, Li Hongying arranged to accommodate 7 or 8 unfamiliar neighbors in the courtyard.

Seeing the new neighbors standing in the yard chatting with Yan Bugui, Jia Zhang and others, the deaf old lady tapped He Yuzhu's leg with her cane in anger.

"Just be a good person,

Anyway, I won't live for many days.

If the Military Control Commission requisitions the Siheyuan in the future, I'll see what you'll do. You'll be dumbfounded when the time comes!"

Seeing the deaf old lady still indignant, He Yuzhu said with a smile,

"Old lady, how can you, such a smart person, not understand?

Look at how many ordinary people in Peking now support the Military Control Commission. If they really want to seize the houses, do you think we have room to object?

If you don't rent out the house, it's just normal rental income, what's wrong with that?

I know what's happening with the house!"

Hearing He Yuzhu mention how many people in Beiping now support the Military Control Commission, and thinking of the civilians who were properly resettled by the Military Control Commission after the liberation of Beiping,
The deaf old lady couldn't help but nodded, which was considered as her agreement to this matter.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want. I won't say any more."

Seeing the deaf old lady walking slowly back to the backyard with a cane, He Yuzhu also joined the crowd and listened.

Yan Bugui and his companions were curious as to why so many people who could not escape returned to Beiping.
At this time, I was asking the new neighbor about the situation in the south.
"Oh, Old Chen, a lot of people have returned to our Beiping city recently. Is the depreciation of the gold yuan in the south really as fast as they say?

It's not just you.
Even wealthy men like Ma Zhiguang and Ma Sanye can’t stay in the south any longer!”

Hearing Yan Bugui's question, the newcomer Chen Zhijie slowly recalled the unpleasant experience.
