Chapter 493

Su Xinghui asked, "Uncle Hou, how many rooms does their family of eight have now?"

Hou Dali shook his head and said, "How many rooms? When they first moved in, there were only Wan Furong and his wife, so they only lived in one main room, which is almost equivalent to a one-bedroom and one-living room. Later, they had three children. After the children grew up, their family built two sheds in the courtyard one after another. Now his two sons each live in a shed."

Su Xinghui said, "That means their living conditions are not very good?"

Hou Dali said, "Not only is it not very good, it is very poor. Those two sheds are only five or six square meters, just enough to put a bed and a table. Even this was built after their family had a big fight with the neighbors. Their family is too overbearing, and their neighbors don't dare to be too serious with them."

Su Xinghui frowned. Such rogues are the most difficult to deal with. What can you do if they don't move out? If you forcibly move them out, what is the difference from the forced demolition of some local governments? Su Xinghui doesn't want to do such things.

Besides, if this matter is used by people with intentions, it will be unfavorable to Zhang Kaishan. Therefore, this matter cannot be done recklessly, and Su Xinghui can only think of some other tricks.

Su Xinghui asked, "How many families live in that courtyard in total?"

Hou Dali said, "A total of five families live in that courtyard. These five families have more than 30 people in total, all crowded in that courtyard, and the living conditions are quite poor."

Su Xinghui asked, "Then what does Wan Furong's family live on?"

Hou Dali said, "Wan Furong himself was originally a worker in the steel pipe factory. After becoming a rebel, he once served as the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the steel pipe factory. After the turmoil ended, he became an ordinary worker again. In the 1980s, when cleaning up the three types of people, he was cleared out of the party and has now retired."

"Wan Furong's wife is a rural woman with no culture. During the period of turmoil, she was arranged to be a temporary worker in the steel pipe factory. However, after the turmoil ended, she was also dismissed by the steel pipe factory."

"Wan Furong's eldest son is a construction worker, and his younger son originally did breakfast business on Nanmen Street. Now that Nanmen Street has been demolished, he has nothing to do for the time being."

After listening to Hou Dali's words, Su Xinghui basically understood the situation of Wan Furong's family. He nodded and said, "Well, I understand."

Hou Dali said, "If the county government is really embarrassed, why don't we forget it? Anyway, our family now lives in a courtyard, which is not bad. My Third Uncle and the others also have such large industries in France, and they don't have such an urgent need for the old home. If it really doesn't work, wait for my Third Uncle to come back and pay to agree to their conditions."

Su Xinghui pondered for a long time and said, "How about this, Uncle Hou, I will go to the Wan family tomorrow to talk to them and try my best to persuade them."

Hou Dali said, "Anyway, don't be too embarrassed. You are the great benefactor of our Hou family. Even if you don't succeed in this matter, I think our whole Hou family will not blame you, but will only thank you!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Okay, then I have a bottom in my heart. Let's talk about it here today. I'll go back first, and I'll come again tomorrow."

Hou Dali nodded and agreed, and sent Su Xinghui out.

On the way, Su Xinghui thought that although Hou Dali said that the Hou family would not blame him if the matter was not done, he still had to try his best to promote this matter.

This matter is probably the biggest wish of the Hou family now, right? Who wants to see their ancestors' foundation occupied by others?

Moreover, this matter is indeed reasonable for the Hou family. Those courtyards are the property of the Hou family, but they were occupied by others because of special historical reasons. Since this behavior is wrong, it should be corrected.

Of course, there were many mistakes caused by historical reasons at that time, and Su Xinghui didn't have the ability to correct them all, but this matter is related to Hou Dali and whether the overseas Hou family can come back to invest, so Su Xinghui must try to correct it.

Su Xinghui went to Zhang Kaishan's house again. He told Zhang Kaishan about his experience of going to Hou Dali's house today.

Zhang Kaishan said, "This matter is very tricky."

Su Xinghui said, "It is tricky, of course, but no matter how tricky it is, we must find a way to do it."

Zhang Kaishan sighed, "It's funny to say, our county government is so difficult to deal with some rogues. You try it first. If you really can't reason, we can only enforce it. Anyway, they don't have property rights for that courtyard, and they have no reason to live in it."

Su Xinghui said, "I'll try it first, try not to use mandatory means, otherwise it will not be very good for our government's influence. Even if it is reasonable, it will seem unreasonable. If it is used by people with intentions, it will be even more troublesome."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Then it's hard for you, this kind of troublesome thing is looking for you."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "It is my honor to share the worries for the leaders!"

Zhang Kaishan heard Su Xinghui's words, and his mood was very heavy, but he was also amused: "You kid, okay, who do you want to go with you tomorrow?"

Su Xinghui said, "I don't know the situation yet. I'll go there by myself tomorrow first, contact them first, and touch the bottom of their family."

Leaving Zhang Kaishan's house, Su Xinghui called Lei Ming to ask if he had time to go out for a drink. Lei Ming agreed immediately when he heard that Su Xinghui was back. Su Xinghui waited for him at the gate of the County Party Committee compound. In less than ten minutes, he saw Lei Ming riding a bicycle over.

Lei Ming smiled and said, "Why call me for a drink so late? It's eight o'clock."

Su Xinghui said, "I only have time at this time. Besides, it's quiet to drink at night!"

Lei Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it's quiet to drink at night."

Lei Ming rode his bicycle and took Su Xinghui to the night market. The night market in Shangjun County is on a street less than one kilometer east of the commercial street. Every night, it becomes lively there. It is all that kind of snack stall. In Shangjun dialect, this is called a "kaobeitan".

Lei Ming found a "kaobeitan" specializing in stir-fried snails, ordered a plate of stir-fried snails, a plate of deep-fried peanuts, and a plate of deep-fried stinky tofu. These are the best side dishes for drinking, cheap and beautiful.

The peanuts were ready-made. The boss fried a plate of snails and fried a plate of stinky tofu. In less than ten minutes, the dishes were all served. The two sat opposite each other at a small folding table and drank.

The stir-fried snails are spicy and taste great. Although it is late autumn, the two drank and ate snails, and soon they were sweating profusely.

Lei Ming said, "This stir-fried snail is the best in the whole Shangjun County. How about it? It tastes good, right?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Well, it's really good. I don't come back often now, and I haven't eaten it. It seems that drinking at night is still good, and I can eat something different."

Lei Ming raised his glass and said, "Come, have a drink."

After drinking this glass, Su Xinghui said, "By the way, Brother Lei, have you heard about Zhuangyuan Lane?"

Lei Ming said, "You mean the county government mobilizing the residents of Zhuangyuan Lane to relocate, right?"
