Chapter 848: Concentrate on Unlocking
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Banggeng's originally fearful mood calmed down a little. After hesitating for a while, he walked obediently towards the door of the deaf old lady's house, squatted down and began to concentrate on unlocking it.
While Banggeng was busy unlocking the house, Liu Haizhong was furious. He watched the Jias' mother and son's actions unfold before his eyes, and his anger welled up inside him. How could the Jias just take over the house? With a frown on his face, he rushed over to grab the house.
But who could have imagined that just as Liu Haizhong took a few steps and was about to reach him, Jia Zhang's legs suddenly gave way and she sat down on the ground with a plop. She put her hands on her hips, stared at Liu Haizhong, and shouted, "Liu Haizhong, you may be the boss now, but if you dare to take another step forward or say even a word of objection, I will fall down here today and never get up again. Then we'll see what you can do!" Her tantrum made Liu Haizhong a little overwhelmed.
Liu Haizhong was furious, his face flushed crimson, his lips trembling with anger, but he swallowed the words back. He knew that if he yelled now, everyone in the courtyard would know about it. If word got out, no one would know who was trying to occupy the house, and he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he was right.
Liu Haizhong suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and looked at Jia Zhang, saying, "Jia Zhang, how can you just take this house? This is not yours."
When Jia Zhang heard this, she lay down on the ground and started crying loudly, crying and saying, "Uncle, you know how difficult our family's situation is now. Qin Huairu is raising several children alone, and Jia Dongxu is gone. The family relies on that little pension to make a living, and life is very tight. If this house can be given to our family, it will be a stable place for the children to live. Uncle, please be kind and give us this house." People who didn't know the truth would really think that the Jia family had reached the end of their rope after hearing her crying and words.
Liu Haizhong was not willing to give in easily. He glared at Jia Zhangshi and retorted, "Stop talking nonsense here! What's your family's situation? Banggeng is about to go to the countryside, so won't the burden on the family be lighter in the future? Look at our family, we have many children and a small house, so we live in a very crowded place. No matter what, we should be given priority for this house."
Jia Zhang didn't care what Liu Haizhong said. She just lay on the ground crying poor and kept on talking about the various difficulties of the Jia family. While the two of them were arguing with each other, Bang Geng made some progress. He fiddled with the lock for a few times and with a "click", he quickly opened the lock of the deaf old lady's house.
Banggeng stood up excitedly, and without thinking much, he pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing this, Jia Zhang immediately stopped crying, got up from the ground, and followed Banggeng into the house.
When Liu Haizhong saw this, he was extremely anxious and rushed forward, wanting to go in and argue. But just as he reached the door, Jia Zhang slammed the door shut, almost hitting Liu Haizhong's nose.
Liu Haizhong refused to admit defeat. He stamped his feet in anger outside the door and shouted, "Jia Zhang, open the door for me! You can't be so unreasonable. You can't just occupy this house if you want!"
Jia Zhang stood at the door, looking at Liu Haizhong outside vigilantly, with her hands on her hips, and said righteously: "Uncle, we came to this house first. According to the rule of first come first served, it is naturally ours." There was a hint of toughness in her tone, as if she was declaring her sovereignty over the house to Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong frowned, looked back at Jia Zhang without showing any weakness, and said coldly: "You'd better let me in quickly, otherwise I will shout. Then I will call everyone in the courtyard and let everyone judge who the house should belong to. Then, I'll see what you will do!" As Liu Haizhong spoke, he made a gesture as if he was going to shout loudly, with a hint of threat in his eyes.
When Jia Zhang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood what Liu Haizhong meant. She knew that if Liu Haizhong really brought everyone here, the matter would get out of hand, which would not be good for her. So, her expression softened instantly, and she looked at Liu Haizhong with a smile and said, "Okay, uncle, we can talk it over. We'll discuss it properly when the time comes."
After saying that, Jia Zhang reluctantly opened the door. Liu Haizhong was about to say something, but Jia Zhang was not stupid. She knew that such things should not be said here. If others saw it, who knows how many troubles would arise. She hurriedly interrupted Liu Haizhong and said to him, "Don't talk about it here. Let's go to your house."
Liu Haizhong looked at Jia Zhang with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Why are you going to my house? Wouldn't it be the same if we said it here?"
Jia Zhang explained anxiously, "Are you stupid, uncle? If others see us whispering here, they'll definitely know we're discussing the house. Then everyone will be coveting the house and want to get involved. What will we do then? Let's go to your house and talk about it. At least we can hide it from others."
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Liu Haizhong felt that she was quite smart. He nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to my house and discuss it."
Then, Jia Zhang turned to look at Bang Geng and sternly warned him, "Lock the door first. Remember to watch over here carefully. No matter who comes, don't let them in. Do you understand?"
Although Banggen wasn't sure what to do, the thought that the house might one day belong to him perked him up. He nodded vigorously and said, "Grandma, I understand!" Then, he obediently stood guard at the door, his eyes vigilantly staring around, as if guarding his most precious thing. After all, Banggen was now eager to own the house, so he was naturally willing to work hard for it.
Jia Zhang followed Liu Haizhong to his home. Liu Guangfu felt a little strange when he saw Jia Zhang coming, but he did not ask any more questions and walked away tactfully.
Liu Haizhong looked at Jia Zhang and said bluntly: "Let me be frank, this house cannot be yours alone. Don't think about occupying it alone, understand? We all need to discuss the matter of this house together." His eyes revealed determination, indicating that he would not give in easily.
