Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

"Well, I got a lot of game in my hometown, and the director said he would help me apply for a permanent position next month."

Chen Xu pointed at the sparrow he was still holding in his hand.

Xu Damao looked at the sparrow leg in his hand, then gave Chen Xu a thumbs up.

"Brother, you are amazing. This is the first time I have seen a buyer become a regular employee so quickly."

Being able to become a regular employee means that Chen Xu can stay in Beijing for a long time without worrying about leaving one day. Moreover, he can also change his household registration to a city household registration and eat rationed food. There are many benefits. More importantly, Chen Xu has gained a firm foothold in Beijing.

This is also what Xu Damao is happy to see.

"Brother, I now have three more main rooms. The one in the backyard is just sitting there. If you want to buy it, I'll sell it to you at a lower price."

If Xu Damao had been a little hesitant before, he is not worried at all now. As Chen Xu can be converted to a regular employee, he does not have to worry about not being able to pay it back.

Chen Xu raised his eyebrows. Xu Damao wanted to sell the house?

This was something he had not expected. He had originally wanted to rent a room, but renting a house is not so easy now. The city has already been saturated, and there are not many vacant rooms, let alone those suitable for him.

He had originally planned to go to the street office to take a look.

"how much is it?"

"five hundred."

Xu Damao blurted out, obviously, he had been considering this price for a long time.

Chen Xu nodded slightly. Five hundred yuan was indeed not expensive, and could even be said to be cheap.

Xu Damao's house is the west wing, which has three rooms just like Sha Zhu's main house. Although the rooms are slightly smaller, it is already the best house besides the main house. Five hundred yuan?

"Are you sure you only want five hundred?"

Chen Xu looked puzzled. What was this guy thinking? He could easily sell his house for a few thousand.

"Hehe, good brothers naturally need to take care of each other, right? Now that I've made a fortune, I naturally have to give you some benefits."

Xu Damao told the truth that he also hoped there would be someone in the hospital who could get along with him, and Chen Xu was a good example.

"I don't have five hundred dollars right now."

Chen Xu wanted to buy a house, but he couldn't afford it, which was why he wanted to rent a house. After all, he only had to pay rent every month.

"I know you can't afford it, it's okay, you can just pay it back slowly, we are just friends."

"Okay, if you don't mind, I have no objection either."

"Then it's settled. When I'm discharged from the hospital and move into the main house, I'll go get the deed transferred to you."

Chen Xu nodded, but thought of one thing.

"Which families in the Siheyuan have property deeds?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"All the old residents are here, right? In addition to the He family, the three housekeepers and the old deaf man in the backyard are here. These families have lived here since before the houses were allocated."

Chen Xu nodded. This was more reasonable. Those who had fled here naturally did not have house deeds. Some of those who were allocated from the steel mill probably did not have any either. But he was not surprised that these old residents had house deeds.

I remember that in the original book, Xu Damao finally mortgaged his house to Sha Zhu in exchange for 25,000 yuan.

"The Jia family doesn't have a property deed either?"

Xu Damao looked like he was making things difficult for me.

"I don't know either, but there should be. I don't know much about what happened back then. The Jia family seems to be an old resident. Why are you asking this?"

"I'm just curious. After all, if you don't have a title deed, it's like renting a house, and you can take it back at any time."

"That's true."

Chen Xu was just asking casually. He didn't know whether Lao Jia was an old resident or someone who was allocated the courtyard house by the steel rolling mill. If it was an allocated house, there was a high probability that there was no title deed.

"I'll sign a written agreement when the time comes. After all, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly."

Xu Damao nodded. He felt that Chen Xu wanted to tell him that no matter what, he would definitely return the 500 yuan.

It was already getting dark, so Chen Xu said goodbye immediately.

Chen Xu didn't expect that he could somehow find a house after just one trip.

He had quite a bit of money on him, though not five hundred, he still had a few hundred.

The two purchases brought in more than 100 yuan in cash, plus the more than 100 yuan I got from Jia Dongxu twice, so I had about 300 yuan on me, but it was not easy to take out this money.

After all, Chen Xu is well-known in the Siheyuan for being extremely poor. Although he has found a job now, he has not even received his salary for less than a month. Now he suddenly takes out three hundred yuan. Anyone would know that there is something wrong with him.

Since Xu Damao said there was no rush, Chen Xu was even less anxious. He planned to pay Xu Damao ten yuan every month until the debt was paid off.

After thinking for a while and finding nothing wrong, Chen Xu felt relieved.

In any case, at least I have solved one of my most basic needs, and the rest will have to come slowly. Neither space nor making money can be solved in a short time.

Tomorrow is the day when Sha Zhu goes to court. Chen Xu also wants to know how long the sentence will be for severely injuring someone during this period.

In fact, he is not very familiar with the current laws. He is now considering whether to buy a copy of the "Constitution" and read it carefully, so as not to miss the opportunity to send people to build the motherland.

Looking at the alarm clock, it was not yet eight o'clock. Chen Xu gave up the idea of ​​going to the black market and planned to go back to sleep.

the next day.

Chen Xu, who had just gone out, looked curiously at the deaf old lady being supported by a middle-aged woman as they walked towards the central courtyard. When they arrived at the central courtyard, he found that in addition to these two, He Daqing, He Yushui, and Yi Zhonghai were all there.

Chen Xu thought about it and knew what these people were going to do. It seemed that these guys were waiting for the verdict of Sha Zhu.

He ignored her and walked straight out of the courtyard.

Instead, He Daqing glanced at Chen Xu and asked Yi Zhonghai who was standing next to him.

"Who was that kid just now?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to pay any attention to He Daqing at all now. This bastard was thicker-skinned than the walls of Beijing. He had just tricked him half to death, but now he acted like nothing happened.

If it weren't for the deaf old lady's request, he wouldn't even want to get involved in Sha Zhu's affairs.

I was already short of money and now I had to take another day off.

However, He Yushui next to her told He Daqing about Chen Xu angrily. She had not forgotten the last time when Chen Xu made her cry for a long time without saying a word.

He Daqing frowned a little. Zhuzi's success had a lot to do with this kid, but he didn't expect that this kid actually escaped here last year.

After this incident, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao both suffered considerable losses, but this kid was not hurt at all. He made a mess of the courtyard but was able to escape unscathed. He Daqing smelled something unusual.

Either this guy is really lucky, or he is just a little fox.

This is He Daqing’s inner evaluation of Chen Xu.

He turned around and looked at He Yushui who looked like a puffer fish.

"You have a conflict with him?"

Yu Shui was a little confused. Was there a contradiction? It seemed not. They hadn't said a word. How could there be a contradiction?

But if she said no, she still remembered clearly the disgusted look on that bastard's face, which was simply unbearable.

But now that her father asked her about it, she really couldn't say with a clear conscience that there was a conflict between them.

"No, he's been here for almost a year, and I haven't spoken a word to him."

"Oh..."

He Daqing nodded, thinking that Yu Shui seemed dissatisfied with Chen Xu because of Sha Zhu's matter.
