Chapter 56 Moving
"Look at this child's body covered in bruises," the policewoman said, "and the evidence is right in front of us. It's clear he was beaten!"
"That's right, they were beaten by those two thieves from the Qi family!" Aunt Liu stood up to testify, "The Qi family's two children have always been dishonest. They've almost stolen from every household in our yard."
"Exactly. I was making chicken soup for my mom to nourish her body, and when I turned around, the chicken was gone!"
"I saved a few eggs and wanted to leave them for the children. In the end, these two little thieves took them all."
When it comes to the matter of Wang Fang and Wang Hong stealing things, everyone in the compound is filled with anger.
These two little bastards just steal the delicious food!
With both witnesses and evidence present, Qi Zhifang had no room to argue and could only watch the police take Wang Fang away. As for Wang Hong, because she was young, she only received some verbal criticism and education.
Later, Wang Yanda's sister also got the news and rushed over to forcibly take Maomao away. She couldn't bear to see the Wang family's child destroyed in Qi Zhifang's hands.
Wang Fang was put in a juvenile detention center and sentenced to three months in prison.
At first, Qi Zhifang felt uncomfortable, but after a few days, she had completely let herself go without her child. She wore beautiful and colorful clothes and was either in the choir or walking in the park with men. Her short single time was so wonderful.
On the other hand, on Wei Shuqing's side, Niu Niu was beaten, and the whole family was heartbroken.
Coincidentally, Wang Chenan's workplace was allocating housing again, and he suggested, "Both Qi's children were sent to the juvenile detention center because of us. They must be really resentful of us, which is why they beat Niu Niu. To prevent this from happening again, I'll apply for a unit of housing at the workplace, and we should move."
Only a person who commits a thousand days will be a thief, but a thousand days will not prevent him from being a thief.
Although she was reluctant to leave the small courtyard that she had taken good care of, there were elderly people and children at home, and Wei Shuqing was pregnant, so it would be safer and more prudent to move.
This exactly matched Wei Shuqing's thoughts: "Move! We have to move! The two girls from the Qi family are now daring enough to come into our house and play with Niu Niu. Who knows what they'll do when Wang Dong comes back! We should stay away from them so we can feel at ease."
Even if Wang Chenan is not included in the housing distribution this time, they have to buy a house with their own money and move!
During dinner, Wei Shuqing and Wang Chenan brought up the matter: "Dad, Mom, what do you think?"
"Move!" Wang Mu said firmly, "Shuqing is pregnant now. It would be terrible if that crazy family pushed and shoved her. If it were you, I would not wait for your company to allocate housing. We can just sell this yard and buy a new one."
This is where she has lived for decades, and the Queen Mother is very reluctant to leave. However, after comprehensive consideration, she thinks it would be safer to move to a place unknown to the Qi family.
Wei's mother also agreed, "Even if we can get a house, the one allocated by the company is rough. After it is renovated, we still have to buy furniture and wait for people to live in it. I guess Xiaoqing has given birth already, so we should buy one. Your father and I have saved some money over the years, so you can use it first."
Although the old couple saved money for their second son's marriage, they couldn't just stand by and watch when their own daughter wanted to buy a house.
Wei Shuqing took a sip of porridge and said, "If we're going to buy a house, let's buy one on Jianshe Street. The roads there are wide and it's close to where Chen An and I work."
There was another most important reason she didn't mention: with the advent of the free economy, Jianshe Street had developed into a commercial street, and the prices of houses on both sides had skyrocketed. The rent alone was a huge sum of money every year.
Of course she has to seize such a good opportunity!
"No problem. I'll go to that street tomorrow and ask if anyone is selling a house." Wang Chenan agreed immediately. It was just that his wife wanted to buy a house on Jianshe Street. It would be right to listen to her.
In the next few days, Wang Chenan was looking around on Jianshe Street, looking for houses for sale.
Hard work pays off. In the central section of Jianshe Road, there really is a family where an elderly couple is about to move into the company’s staff housing and has decided to sell their big house.
The elderly couple selling the house both teach at a nearby university. They are gentle and polite. They directly stated the reason for selling the house: "We originally wanted to keep this house. It was just a thought in our minds. But my son got sick and needs a lot of money for treatment. That's why we have to sell the house."
The old man's legs were not very good, so the old lady took Wang Chenan to visit this spacious and beautiful two-story building. Although it had gone through many years, the house was well maintained. Not only was it spotlessly clean, but even the walls had been repainted. It was enough to see the owner's intentions. If they were not waiting for money to save their lives, they would definitely not be willing to sell it.
Wang Chenan was very satisfied with the house and made a decision immediately: "To be honest, you two elders, I like this house. However, buying a house is a big deal after all, so I have to ask my wife to take a look."
"Of course!" the old lady agreed. "You're always welcome to come and see the house."
Wang Chenan hurried home and told Wei Shuqing the good news. Wei Shuqing was overjoyed: "Really? Then why are you still standing there? Let's go now!"
That’s the house on the commercial street where every inch of land will be valuable in the future!
The two of them immediately got on their bicycles and headed straight for Jianshe Street.
When they arrived, the old couple were drinking tea in the yard. The lush and tall sycamore tree, with its graceful branches and leaves, brought shade and coolness to the entire yard.
Wei Shuqing fell in love with the house at first sight. It was an elegant two-story building with green plants all over the yard and a small house facing the street at the door. The house was so great that it was beyond her imagination.
The old professor couple was in a hurry for money, and Wei Shuqing's family was in a hurry for housing, so the two sides negotiated the price directly, and finally the house was sold for 850 yuan.
This price was slightly higher than the market price, but Wei Shuqing and his wife did not bargain.
Firstly, people are selling their houses to save their lives, and they don’t have the heart to bargain.
Secondly, they really like this house.
On the way back with the house deed, Wei Shuqing felt in a very good mood. She had already planned the use of the two small houses facing the street. When permission was given, she would expand it and open a store. Whether it was rented out or used by her family, it would be an extra income.
"We're both bleeding money now!" Wang Chenan joked, "I hope the old house can be sold quickly so we can make some money back."
Wei Shuqing still had a smile on her face. "If you can't sell it, just keep it. It's a part of Mom's memory after all. As for the money, we're still young and can earn more."
"I didn't expect my wife to be so reasonable." Wang Chenan looked at the road ahead with a smile. He was always full of expectations for his future life.
The professor and his wife moved in three days, and Wei Shuqing's family had also packed their luggage and were ready to move to their new house.
What surprised Wei Shuqing was that her brother, sister-in-law and their family also came on the moving day.
Wei Shuhai was very strong and put the dining table on the cart with one hand: "Brother-in-law, I am not as educated as you, but I am an expert at doing this kind of physical work. Just watch me!"
Wei Shuqing's father's brand charity car once again played a big role in the move.
Wang Chenan was also busy, putting things he could carry onto the cart. "Thank goodness my brother came today, otherwise, this move would have been so stressful!"
Wei Shuhai likes his doctor brother-in-law from the bottom of his heart. They are both intellectuals. His ex-brother-in-law Qi Zhijun was always pretentious and unwilling to say a word to him.
Look at Wang Chenan, he is also a cultured person, he calls everyone "big brother" all the time, so sensible!
