Chapter 1: Everyone, come quick, Jia Zhangshi is scheming against her son!

South Luogu Lane No. 95 Siheyuan.

Front courtyard.

Jia Zhangshi stood in front of the east wing room, her pair of shifty eyes constantly turning, looking at the wing room, then at the side room...

Long ago, she had already taken a liking to this residence.

It has been vacant for several months already, and to this day no one has moved in.

Her family now has six people, all crammed together in the west wing room of the central courtyard.

How could they not allocate another set of rooms to her family?

This is totally unreasonable!

Anyway, it's just sitting vacant.

It would be better to give it to us to live in.

At first she had her son Jia Dongxu apply to the factory, but it wasn't successful.

Then she also asked the factory's Level 8 Pipe Worker Yi Zhonghai for help.

Level 8 Pipe Worker, there are hardly any in a factory of nearly ten thousand people, he's treasured, the leadership will definitely give him face.

She felt this matter was as good as certain.

So she always thought that the east wing room belonged to her family.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai agreed, she's been daydreaming every day.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu live in the east wing room, Xiao Dang and Huaihua live in the side room, and she and Bang Geng live in the original room.

This is simply too wonderful.

She never imagined that Yi Zhonghai had long known this was impossible, and he also felt embarrassed to bring it up.

However, considering that Jia Dongxu is his disciple, and he'll still need to rely on him for support in old age, plus Jia Zhangshi constantly pesters him, unable to refuse, he could only agree for now and talk later.

"Yo, Bang Geng's grandma, what are you looking at?"

Suddenly.

A male baritone voice came from behind.

This really startled her.

Turning her head, she saw that the Third Elder of the courtyard, Yan Bu Gui, had somehow already stood behind her.

She gave Yan Bu Gui an up-and-down glance and said angrily:

"Are you a ghost? How do you walk without making a sound?"

"Really scared the living daylights out of me."

Jia Zhangshi speaks just like that—impulsive.

No matter who you are, as long as you make her unhappy, she'll repay you double.

Yan Bu Gui felt vexed: "Bang Geng's grandma, how can you scold people?"

"I saw you here, came over kindly to say hello—is that also wrong?"

Jia Zhangshi: "It's not a matter of right or wrong, but you frightened me, do you understand?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Oh, then sorry."

"What are you doing?"

Yan Bu Gui knows Jia Zhangshi's nature—she's adept at tantrums, rolling around, crying wolf, and is known as Gui Jianchou.

Moreover, they all live in the same courtyard, constantly seeing each other, and he doesn't want to sour their relationship too much.

Jia Zhangshi is also quite satisfied with that.

Since an apology was given, she certainly won't hold a grudge.

After all, he's the Third Elder of the courtyard.

He still carries some prestige in the courtyard; maybe later, if something comes up, they might still rely on his help.

Jia Zhangshi pointed at the east wing room and said:

"I'm wondering, has Eldest Uncle spoken to the factory about it?"

"What about?"

"We do have six people now, right?"

"I was thinking the east wing room is vacant anyway; it'd be better to allocate it to our family."

Upon hearing that.

Yan Bu Gui's eyes shifted, and he said: "No, our family also has six people, and most are adults, while your family still has three children."

"If allocation is to happen, it should go to our family."

Recently, the Hongxing Rolling Steel Factory sent people to tidy up the rooms.

Yan Bu Gui still thought someone would move in soon.

Now, judging from Jia Zhangshi's words, it seems there isn't.

If that's the case, then I must definitely strive for it.

Why can Jia Zhangshi vie for it, but I can't?

What if I accidentally manage to secure it?

Then I'd really profit big.

Even if I fail to get it, I won't lose a piece of meat anyway.

It's better to benefit him than to benefit Jia Zhangshi.

Although he doesn't want to sour relations with Jia Zhangshi, if there's a conflict of interest, he won't be able to hold back so much.

In his eyes, profit comes first.

Jia Zhangshi let out a nasal sound and said unhappily, "San Da Ye, what are you thinking?"

You don't work at the factory; being able to live here is something you should be grateful for,

Besides, you're still thinking about this house, and you even have an extra side room.

Hmph, truly human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

Yan Bu Gui was displeased: "Hey hey hey, what are you talking about?"

Our school used to be the Ya gang chang elementary school; it only later split off.

What gives you the right to claim it, but I don't?

Just then.

Three people walked in.

One middle-aged person and two young people.

The middle-aged person had a bag tucked under his arm, the two young people each carried a large bag, and one of the young people also had a bedroll on his back.

It looks like they came to seize the house?

Jia Zhangshi frowned tightly and asked unhappily:

"Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged person pointed to the east wing and said:

"Older sister, we're here to look at the house."

Yan Bu Gui could already tell these people were not ordinary, especially the leading middle-aged person.

He stepped back two paces, deciding to observe first before speaking.

Jia Zhangshi gave the middle-aged person a white-eyed look and exclaimed, "What house are you looking at?"

"This house belongs to us."

The middle-aged person stared, he was actually Yang Changzhang of the Hongxing Rolling Steel Factory; how could he not know this house had already been assigned?

The Section Chief Chen of the Logistics Department standing to his right hurriedly asked Jia Zhangshi:

"Auntie, who said this is your house?"

Jia Zhangshi retorted unhappily:

"Who said this isn't our house?"

She couldn't care less about that; she'd stop them first and talk later.

As long as Yi Zhonghai tells the factory, this house will be hers.

At this point, how could she allow anyone to seize the house?

The young man standing to Yang Changzhang's left, who had been silent, laughed.

The Jia Zhangshi who is as adept at throwing tantrums as seen on TV truly lives up to her reputation.

She plays this shameless trick with great skill.

The young man is called Lin Shengli, twenty-one years old, and is a transmigrator.

A little over two months ago he transmigrated from 2023 into this parallel world.

The original body was Yi Zhonghai's nephew, a top student at Hafnium University, and an engineer.

Because he was too obsessed with research, he ruined his health, leading to who he is now.

In his previous life, Lin Shengli was a technician at the steel mill.

Now, with his education added and the original body's memories integrated, he is even more capable.

In just a few months, he has left a miraculous legend in the northeast.

Machines that no one in the country could repair, long idle, he fixed them.

Moreover, he oversaw the establishment of a 630-millimeter clamp-type planetary rolling mill......

After he reported some projects, factories across the country immediately sprang into action, vying to hire him.

Yang Changzhang also went to great lengths to bring him in.

Therefore, he is also highly valued.

This time, Yang Changzhang personally went to the train station to pick him up.

Lin Shengli's return this time also has another purpose: to recognize kin with Yi Zhonghai.

The original body's parents died in an accident when he was still young, leaving no time for a last will.

However, the original body remembers he still has one relative in this world: his maternal uncle Yi Zhonghai.

His mother had mentioned it before.

But his mother never said where Yi Zhonghai lived.

They have also lost contact for many years.

The original body could be said to have grown up eating the village's communal meals.

At age thirteen he had already self-studied and completed the junior high curriculum.

A middle school teacher in the village, seeing his diligence and eagerness to learn, used connections to let him take that year's entrance exam.

As a result, he scored first place in the entire county.

That teacher gritted his teeth and sent him to high school.

Finally, he got into Hafnium University.

After transmigrating, Lin Shengli awakened a system.

The system told him that to permanently activate it, he must go to No. 95 South Luogu Lane, Sijiucheng, and recognize kin with his only relative, Yi Zhonghai.

Therefore, after overseeing the establishment of the 630-millimeter clamp-type planetary rolling mill, he immediately returned to Sijiucheng.

The system, ah.

In his previous life, after reading so many web novels, he knew how important a system was to a person.

Even a pig, with a system, could rise.

As Section Chief Chen was about to speak, Jia Dongxu walked in.

Upon seeing Factory Director Yang and Section Chief Chen, he turned around and wanted to run.

Who would have thought Jia Zhangshi saw him and, as soon as she opened her mouth, shouted at him.

"Dong Xu, you came back just in time."

"These people don't know the immensity of heaven and earth; they actually dare to come here and fight us for the house."

"Come on, come on, quickly stop them, quickly make them leave here."

Jia Dongxu cursed silently, walking over with a mournful face.

What kind of person is this?

Isn't this trapping his son?

Now it's work hours; his leaving early would count as early departure, and if caught he'd lose points and be fined.

He still wanted to take advantage of Factory Director Yang and Section Chief Chen not paying attention to slip away quickly.
