Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Nearing nine o'clock, He Yuzhu helped the deaf old lady to the meeting place.

Originally, He Yuzhu was not planning to let the old lady come, but the old lady insisted on coming, saying that it was his first time to convene a meeting of the whole hospital, and some people would cause trouble, so she wanted to come to support him.

He Yuzhu repeatedly emphasized that he could handle it, but the old lady insisted on coming, so he had no choice but to agree.

He Yuzhu helped the old lady to the left side of the square table, while he himself sat in the main seat of the table.

Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, Xu Damao and others frowned involuntarily when they saw the deaf old lady coming.

He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check his watch and said calmly, "It's almost time. I'll call the roll first."

"Before I call the roll, let me make it clear that I don't usually call a full house meeting, but when I do, it means there are important things to discuss or announce."

"When I hold a general meeting, I don't force everyone to come, but one representative from each company must come, because there may be important instructions to be announced by the street office or important matters to be discussed at the meeting."

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense, let's start calling the roll!"

"Li Debiao's house!"

"To!"

"Yan Bugui's family!"

"To!"

……

"Xu Damao's house!"

"To!"

There are only 34 households in the whole hospital, and the roll call was completed in less than two minutes.

He Yuzhu said sternly, "The roll call is over. Everyone is present. Now let's formally start the meeting. This time we are convening a meeting of the whole institute to discuss two main things."

“The first thing is safety.”

"It is summer now, a time of frequent rainstorms. If anyone's house is leaking, it is best to find someone to repair it."

"Of course, it's not just the leaking roof that needs to be renovated. Some roofs have decayed purlins and rafters over time, so it's best to renovate them as well."

"Just like last time, Xu Damao was sleeping soundly at home, and suddenly the rafters on the beam broke, and the tiles fell down and hit Xu Damao's head, causing bruises all over."

"Good thing Xu Damao was alone at home sleeping at the time. If he was doing that with his wife, it would have been a disaster."

"Ha ha…"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, the scene erupted into deafening laughter.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's faces flushed immediately. Xu Damao was still okay, but Lou Xiao'e was so embarrassed that she said angrily:

"He Yuzhu, you bastard!"

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, please pay attention to your image. Are there any minors at the scene?"

He Yuzhu laughed awkwardly, "Haha! Sorry! Sorry! I was a little outspoken. I didn't mean to say this, I just wanted to emphasize the harm of a roof in disrepair."

"Everyone can check their own houses tomorrow. If you want to renovate your roof, you can come to me to register, and then we can all go find a carpenter together. This way the price should be cheaper."

"Uncle, let me register first. There is a leak in my house."

"Uncle, I want to register too. My house is leaking too."

"And I!"

"And I!"

A moment later, eight homes needed roof repairs.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao with a joking expression, "Brother Damao, doesn't your roof need to be renovated?"

Xu Damao said with a dark face: "He Yuzhu, I don't need you, an old man, to worry about my family's affairs."

He Yuzhu said earnestly: "Da Mao, you can't just replace the broken rafters. Since there are broken rafters on your roof, it means that many rafters on your roof are rotten. It's best to renovate all of them."

"Your family is not short of money, so there is no need to leave yourself and your wife with safety hazards for those little things. You two are fat and healthy, and you can withstand being hit by tiles. What if you have children in the future?"

After He Yuzhu said this, the faces of the people with children changed slightly.

"Uncle, you are right to remind me. I will register one too."

"Uncle, I want to register one too."

Lou Xiao'e said proudly, "He Yuzhu, please register one for me too!"

Xu Damao said sullenly, "Register what? No registration!"

Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "Why don't you register? Do you still want to be hit by the tiles on the roof? You want to be hit, but I don't want to be hit."

Xu Damao grinned, but said nothing more in the end.

He Yuzhu looked at the registration list and found that there were already thirteen families willing to renovate their roofs.

He Yuzhu estimated that most people were willing to renovate the roof, but because the house was not theirs, they were unwilling to pay for it.

The property rights of most of the courtyard houses belong to the street office, which only allocates them to everyone for living. In other words, everyone only has the right to live in the house but not the ownership of the house.

Nowadays, workers in state-owned enterprises do not have to spend money to buy a house. As long as they have a certain length of service or meet other necessary conditions, the factory will allocate staff dormitories to them. Individuals do not have to spend a penny, and when the salary is paid at the end of the month, just one or two yuan of rent can be deducted from it.

It is precisely because of this that many people are unwilling to spend money to renovate their houses. After all, the house does not belong to you, and when you are transferred to another job, you will have to move out of the house.

In courtyard No. 95, there are only six families who have house deeds, namely Yi Zhonghai's family, Liu Haizhong's family, Yan Bugui's family, Xu Damao's family, the deaf old lady's family, and He Yuzhu's family.

Even Qin Huairu's family does not have a title deed to the house. They are just renting here, and the street office has the right to evict them at any time.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, thinking that his family's house deed was still in the hands of that bastard He Daqing.

He decided to find time to go to Baoding as soon as possible to get the house deed back and change the owner to himself.

Although the house in the courtyard house is not valuable now, it will be very valuable in 20 or 30 years, and he doesn't want others to get it at a bargain price.

Secondly, go ask He Daqing for some money. He can spend money on wild women and wild children, so why can’t he spend money on his own son?

Although he is not short of money, who would complain about having too much money?

Thirdly, he wanted to collect evidence that Yi Zhonghai had embezzled his living expenses. When He Daqing sent him money, there should have been a completed bill of exchange on record. This was irrefutable evidence.

He Yuzhu collected his thoughts and spoke again: "We must report to the street office to renovate the roof. I will go to the street office to find Director Fang tomorrow and ask if the street office can give some money. After all, most of the houses in the courtyard are owned by the street office."

When He Yuzhu said this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Uncle, that's absolutely right. My house is owned by the street office, and I pay 1.5 yuan in rent every month. Now that the house is leaking, the street office should be held responsible."

"You're right. Since the subdistrict office collects rent, they should provide us with good living conditions."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I don't think it's possible for the street office to pay the full amount, but I will do my best to fight for everyone's interests."

"Thank you, sir."

"Uncle, I'll leave this matter to you."

He Yuzhu smiled gently and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."
