Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 261 Buying a House Again

Just a few days after Qin Huairu left.

That evening, He Daqing's family had just finished dinner and were listening to the radio at home. They were watching the three little kids playing on the ground when suddenly Xu Damao came to the door.

He first glanced at the three children playing on the ground with envy in his eyes, and then said to He Daqing: "Uncle He, I have something to discuss with you, do you have time?"

He Daqing was also a little confused when he saw Xu Damao. Wasn't he transferred away? What was he doing here now?

"Da Mao is here, come in and sit down. Just tell me if you have any problem, I will definitely help you if I can."

Although he didn't know what Xu Damao wanted to do, He Daqing was unambiguous about the enthusiasm he should give him.

After Xu Damao came in, Chen Xueru and Yu Li took the child into the bedroom, leaving He Daqing, Xu Damao, and two idiots with their ears erect in the living room.

He Daqing glared at Sha Zhu and said, "Why are you standing there? Don't you know how to pour water for Damao?"

Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao angrily. He could pour water for anyone, but he would never pour water for Xu Damao.

Xu Damao also knew that it was difficult to drink Sha Zhu's tea. Besides, who knew if Sha Zhu would add something else when pouring water for him? Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to drink it.

So he said, "Uncle He, don't bother me, let's talk about the matter first."

Sha Zhu gave Xu Damao a look that said, "You are a sensible boy," and pricked up his ears again to listen to what Xu Damao had to say.

He Daqing smiled and said, "Okay, since you are so anxious, just tell me and see how I can help you."

Xu Damao said, "Do you know that I'm going to be transferred to the repair shop?"

He Daqing shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this. When did it happen? Why didn't the factory notify us?"

Xu Damao said, "Oh, don't mention it. This matter is quite complicated. I was also warned a few days ago that I can't talk about it anymore."

It turned out that after Xu Damao reported the matter, Li Huaide cleaned up his own mess and sent someone to sternly warn Xu Damao that if he spread the matter again, he would bear the consequences!

Xu Damao has now admitted defeat. He cannot do anything against the other party, so he can only obey the orders.

He Daqing naturally understood all the channels involved, but he didn't want to cause so much trouble, so he could only pretend not to know.

"So what do you want to do by coming here today? Don't you want to go over there?"

He Daqing asked.

Xu Damao shook his head and said, "I have already reported there and officially started working there. I may not come back to our place in the future."

"My house was bought by my father with his own money a while ago. Now I don't live here anymore. I want to sell this house and buy another one over there."

"I discussed it with my father, and he agreed to sell the house here. I want to ask, Uncle He, do you want to buy it?"

He Daqing was really surprised that Xu Damao wanted to sell the house.

He already owns several houses, so if he buys more it would be a bit conspicuous.

But Sha Zhu only had three houses under his name, so if he bought it, it would make sense to put it under Sha Zhu's name. Anyway, he and Sha Zhu had separated now, so no one could say anything.

Thinking of this, He Daqing said, "Da Mao, you know that my uncle's current house is enough for me to live in. It's useless to have more. Why don't you ask someone else?"

Xu Damao said with some embarrassment: "In our courtyard, besides Uncle He, who else can afford to buy a house? Uncle San's family does need one, but everyone knows that he is extremely stingy. Even if he has money, he can't afford it."

"It's impossible for the Second Uncle to spend money to buy a house for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, so I can only ask you first."

He Daqing was silent for a while and then said, "Da Mao, since you said that, I can't just stand by and not help you. How much do you want to sell it for? If it's suitable, I'll agree. This is my last chance to help you."

After hearing this, Xu Damao immediately became happy.

You have to know that buying and selling houses is not allowed now, and he doesn't dare to look for people he doesn't know outside. If someone reports him, he will definitely be in trouble.

As for He Daqing, Xu Damao thought he knew He Daqing very well, and that He Daqing had helped him many times and always treated him like his own nephew.

So if we were to ask who Xu Damao trusts the most in the courtyard, it would be none other than He Daqing.

Since He Daqing agreed, Xu Damao said, "Uncle He, I won't talk nonsense with you. If you give me 500 yuan for the three houses, I will go to the street office to transfer them to you."

Five hundred yuan is not a lot of money. For He Daqing, who has tens of thousands of yuan in savings, it is indeed cheap.

Just think about how valuable these houses will be in the future; the current price is almost like giving them away for free.

So He Daqing did not bargain and directly agreed to Xu Damao, asking him to go to the street office with Sha Zhu tomorrow to donate the house to Sha Zhu's name.

Although houses cannot be bought and sold directly now, no matter what time it is, there are always countermeasures. If houses cannot be bought and sold, people can still trade them by means of gifting them as gifts or paying off debts.

When the subdistrict office encounters such things, they just turn a blind eye. Life is already difficult for the common people, so there is no need to be so serious about it.

The next day, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu went to the street office and found Director Wang to go through the donation procedures.

Although Director Wang knew that the two must have had a private transaction, she did not ask and simply transferred the house to Sha Zhu's name according to normal procedures.

Sha Zhu was so happy holding the new house deed that he couldn't stop smiling.

His opponent moved out of the courtyard house and he got the house. Is there anything more joyful than this?

Xu Damao glanced at Sha Zhu who was grinning foolishly all the way, and rode away on his bicycle.

He also needed to find a car to move all the furniture to the house over there.

Xu Damao is not like an old lady who left a lot of things to Sha Zhu.

Looking at Sha Zhu's happy expression, he returned home and asked someone to load all the usable and unusable things into a truck and take them away.

It was not until Xu Damao moved his things that the people in the courtyard knew that he was also going to leave.

Now everyone in the courtyard was in an uproar.

Since Yi Zhonghai passed away, a deaf old lady took Huaihua away.

Jia Zhang was driven away, and Qin Huairu took Xiaodang away.

Now Xu Damao is leaving too.

More people have moved out of the courtyard during this period than in the previous decade or so combined.

Many people began to wonder if there was something wrong with the feng shui of the Siheyuan. Why were so many people forced to leave?

By the time everyone got off work, Xu Damao's rooms had already been completely emptied.

After get off work, Sha Zhu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a new lock. When he came back, the first thing he did was lock the door of the house.

At this time, no one knew that Xu Damao's house had already been transferred to Sha Zhu.
