Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

At the appointed time, the people arranged by Jiang Feng came with the things. Jia Zhang was still dawdling, so the man instructed them to put all the things in the yard and started to urge them to leave. In order to save money, Jia Zhang rented an ear room outside and lived in the same room with Bang Geng. It had a small kitchen and only cost 2 yuan a month.

At the urging of the owner, Jia Zhang started to think crookedly again, saying, "Hey, you guys came so early, I haven't found anyone yet, and my things are all packed, but I can't move them out by myself, you have someone here, why don't you move them together?"

The buyer was not polite. Now that the formalities were completed, he would not tolerate these slackers. He said directly: "I have no objection, but I only paid the shipping fee. If you want to use them, you can negotiate on your own. If you can't reach an agreement, you can go out and find someone yourself."

"Isn't this a waste of time? You can just arrange it together. It's not much money. You still have to wait here while I go find someone."

"It's okay. I've taken a day off today. Anyway, we agreed with the street office that the house will be delivered today. If you can't deliver it, don't blame me for being rude. I have plenty of time. I'll wait here. If you're not happy, you can return the money and compensate me for my losses."

Seeing that this man was unmoved, Jia Zhang had no choice but to go to the cart driver Wobo to negotiate the price. She told him where she wanted the cart to go and asked him for 2 yuan for everything. Wobo was happy as he didn't have to look for work anymore as two trips would be enough for today.

After agreeing on the price, they started to work. They moved things out of the house and moved things in from outside. After settling the bill, they loaded up their things and went to the yard rented by Jia Zhang. When everything was moved, Jia Zhang wanted to pay less, but she was not a pushover and just stood in the yard and cursed.

Bang Geng came out and said to Jia Zhang: "Grandma, give me as much as we agreed. I'm hungry, hurry up and cook."

Jia Zhang gave the money reluctantly, and when she returned to the house, Bang Geng started to complain: "Grandma, you finally moved to a new place, and it's like this on the first day. How can you get along with the people in this courtyard in the future? They will be on guard against you, and they will see some trivial things every day."

Jia Zhang thought so too. The yard here was not big, with two entrances and only seven or eight households in total. The landlord's son had gone out to work, and there was an ear room left vacant, which was not easy to rent out as the house was too small. Jia Zhang happened to find it, so she borrowed coal briquettes from the landlord and started cooking.

After receiving the money, the idiot turned around and came back to the courtyard. Someone was waiting for him there. He told the man the address to deliver the money to and took the fifty cents from him. He just had to run errands for him and didn't care what the man was asking for the address for. He happily went to buy a bottle of liquor and went home.

Jiang Feng found out where Jia Zhang lived that night. The new family came to visit under the pretext of visiting neighbors and told him about this matter. Jiang Feng took a piece of meat from the kitchen and gave it to him, telling him to go back and cook it himself. He should stay here for the time being and not be seen by people in the front yard. Everything will be fine once he enters the house.

After dinner in the evening, the family went to Yan Fugui's house under the pretext of visiting and sat down. They introduced themselves and said that their surname was Zhang and their son worked in a factory. The house they were allocated could not accommodate them, so they bought a house here and the couple lived here.

Yan Fugui also wanted to establish a good relationship with this man so that when he faced Jiang Feng in the future, the two families could have a talk. He also told him about the other houses in the yard.

Old Zhang smiled and said, "It's okay. I just visited him and he said that if he doesn't want to live here one day, he can sell it to him. Anyway, the market price won't be a loss. I guess I won't see it anymore. Then my son will take care of it."

Yan Fugui was overjoyed at first when he heard this, as this man was going to live there for a long time. But then he started to worry. If he stayed there for a long time, Jiang Feng would not be able to get the whole yard anyway. What should he do with his two rooms? Would Jiang Feng still want them? Even if he took them back, there was still one in the middle yard. He wanted to take advantage by keeping the house, but the prices of the buildings outside were getting higher and higher.

Many people who live in buildings brag that at least they don’t have to go out in the winter. They can stay in their own room and don’t have to go out if they don’t want to. Once the door is closed, no one knows what they are doing at home, except that there is a little noise from upstairs and downstairs. But you live in a tenement house, so what are you afraid of? There is noise everywhere.

Yan Fugui also wanted to go, and it would be best for him to find Jiang Feng, but there was an example before, and it was clearly stated that no exception could be made. Yan Fugui himself knew that if he were in their place, he would not be able to make an exception either. He would feel uncomfortable if he did not take advantage of it.

Yan Jiecheng has urged him many times. His family has no money. If they want to live in an apartment, they can only rely on replacement. Moreover, since he works in a factory, he can just take out a loan to make up the difference. In this world, Yu Li's restaurant has not been opened, and Li Huaide came back early, which disrupted Yan Jiecheng's timeline for making money, and all the money was lost.

Now Yan Jiecheng is still working in the factory, with a salary of dozens of yuan a month. It is definitely impossible for him to buy a house, and he had no plan to do so. However, Jiang Feng's replacement gave everyone hope. According to the current situation, the Yan family thinks that Jiang Feng is a fool and it is obviously a losing business.

However, over the past few decades, no one dared to think that Jiang Feng was a fool. Yan Fugui could only attribute it to the fact that Jiang Feng liked living in the yard, so he wanted to take over the yard.

Sometimes Yan Fugui would wonder, if he had known to stop after doing it twice, he could have taken over the yard. After all, there were many children in the family, and it would be great to have a yard for each child.

A meeting was held at Yan Fugui's home the next day. Yan Fugui knew that someone had come to live permanently in the Intermediate Courtyard. At least his plan was dashed. He had to stay in the courtyard every day. He didn't know why Jia Zhang wanted to sell the house, but if Jiang Feng didn't take his house in exchange, he might suffer a great loss this time.

Yan Jiecheng also thought so. Everyone knew how much the market price of his house was. Even if he bought it for 3,000 yuan, he could not buy a house of the same size as an apartment. He began to complain. Third Aunt and Yu Li had been working for nothing for so many years, so they could naturally figure out the answer.

Jiefang Jie Kuang was not stupid. He naturally knew that his interests would be damaged by such an incident. Although he was renting a house outside now, he still had a share in the ancestral house. Now that this share had depreciated in value, he was of course not happy about it. He asked for an exchange according to Jiang Feng's wishes on the same day. He wanted to discuss it as soon as possible, otherwise it would be troublesome if the other party didn't want it.

The Yan family had unified their thoughts, and the next day they stopped Jiang Feng who was about to go out and talked about it. They said that after much thought, the children in the family still had to move out, and they wanted to see if there were any replacements.

Jiang Feng looked at Yan Fugui and said, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to change. Have you asked around to see if there is still a house you want? Besides, I don't think I can get this yard back. I was just thinking about what to do with it, and now another family has moved in."

Yan Fugui was also stunned for a moment, and did not go over there to inquire. Houses are so in short supply now, it is possible that they are really sold out. As for the matter of the yard, what does it have to do with me?

It was none of my business after I moved out, but I still said, "Xiao Feng, I know you have an acquaintance, can you please ask if there are any three-bedroom units left? I'll pay the difference for the extra ones as you said. There's only one here, you must have a solution."

"I can't help it. They just moved in yesterday. The original intention of changing houses was to do some good to the old neighbors. I just like living in a yard. It's a win-win for everyone. But now it's like this, I don't know what to do. Should I go and buy them a house as well?"

Jiang Feng shook his head, pretending that he didn't want to talk to Yan Fugui anymore, and prepared to go to the backyard. Yan Fugui pulled Jiang Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, you see, all the old neighbors in the yard have changed with you, and the third uncle is also bewitched. But the third uncle has never thought of selling the house. At most, he wants to take advantage of it. Please help the third uncle."

"Uncle, you are not taking advantage of me. The housing prices are changing every day. You know how much more I have to pay for the housing subsidy. You don't want to make up the difference, so I can't do anything about it. To be honest, if you sell your house now, you can only get 3000 yuan at most. You also know how much you can get if you buy a building?"

"Hey, Xiaofeng, it's Uncle Three's fault. Go and measure the area. After that, subtract 5 square meters. Do you think it's okay?" Yan Fugui held Jiang Feng tightly, gritted his teeth, and promised him a huge profit with his heart bleeding.

Jiang Feng was amused, but pretended to be embarrassed, saying, "Uncle, I can't take advantage of you. 5 square meters is almost a thousand yuan now. If I calculate it based on 50 square meters, I will lose at least double the price. It's equivalent to buying your house at double the market price. Do you think it's worth it?"

Yan Fugui had naturally calculated it. It was such a huge bargain, otherwise why would he hold on to it? But at that time, Jiang Feng was doing a replacement, one flat for one flat, and Jiang Feng was very happy, giving people the illusion that Jiang Feng did not lose money, so Yan Fugui wanted to take a little more.

Now Jiang Feng's attitude has made it clear that he does not want to be a sucker and feels it is not cost-effective. Yan Fugui also knows where the problem lies, that is, the Jia family in the Central Courtyard is selling their house, and Jiang Feng feels that there is no way to take back the yard. Since he cannot take it all, it is the same whether he takes it back for one family or for two families, and he can also save some money.

Yan Fugui was speechless. As the only educated person in the courtyard, Yan Fugui was second to none in calculations. It would be a lie to say that he didn't know Jiang Feng was losing money. At this time, Yu Li stood up and said, "Director Jiang, you tell us a number. As long as it's appropriate, we will accept it. There really isn't enough room at home."

Jiang Feng thought for a while and said, "Since you are sincere in wanting to exchange, you can go and measure it yourself and then we can talk about it. To be honest, I really want to buy the yard. I believe that the money I spent is enough to buy another yard. Now I am in a dilemma. Another one has come to the middle court. I have no confidence anymore."
