Chapter 237: Looking for Wang Xia

Qi Rong's wife Xia He prepared a very sumptuous dinner, including braised spareribs, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and seaweed soup!

Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they were already considered very luxurious in this era of material scarcity. Read

You should know that there are still many people struggling below the poverty line, and they can't even fill their stomachs!

In fact, because the person to be invited today was Li Yi, Qi Rong also brought back two bottles of Guojiao, which made Li Yi and Liu Yu envious.

At this time, Xia He walked over slowly and said to Qi Rong: "Drink less, your health is important!"

Qi Rong smiled and nodded, and Xia He turned and left.

Li Yi smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Rong and his sister-in-law also have a deep relationship!"

Qi Rong sighed, and then said tenderly, "When we opened the warehouse to release grain, not to mention some local granaries and grain merchants, even my father and others were opposed, because relying on me alone to fight against the grain merchants in the entire northwest region, that was a dream!"

Li Yi nodded seriously when he heard this!

Qi Rong was right, this is indeed a very serious problem, and it might be retaliated by others!

Qi Rong continued, "Later, thanks to your sister-in-law, she took out her salary to cover me, so that I could buy grain and distribute it to the farmers below!"

"You may not know that we were not married at the time, and she secretly mortgaged her dowry to the bank and borrowed money from me!"

Li Yi and Liu Yu looked at each other and were both moved.

I didn't expect that Xia He, a teacher who looked like a good wife and mother, could do such a thing!

"Boss, I really envy you!"

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Qi Rong patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't envy me, you will find it, brother."

The meal took two hours, and finally Li Yi helped Liu Yu back to the company to live.

Because Liu Yu drank a little too much, Li Yi and Qi Rong didn't know where Liu Yu lived, so Li Yi took Liu Yu directly back to the company dormitory.

...

The next morning, not long after Li Yi went out to wash up, Liu Yu woke up.

The first thing he did after waking up was to pull Li Yi to ask if he had said anything he shouldn't have said last night.

Liu Yu's alcohol tolerance is amazing, but last night he was probably moved by the scene and thought of his broken feelings, so he drank too much.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, I don't know which words you should say and which words you shouldn't say. Anyway, you just said whatever Brother Rong and I asked you..."

Liu Yu let out a long breath, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "Wine is really harmful to people!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Brother Yu, wash up quickly, don't you have to go to see Wang Xia today?"

Liu Yu responded and walked out with a toothbrush and a kettle.

When Qi Rong arrived at the company, it was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

"Where does Wang Xia live now?"

While holding the steering wheel of the Peugeot, Liu Yu answered:

"I live in Jiefang Garden. I don't know the specific address, but we can go and ask."

Jiefang Garden?

Li Yi is not a local, so he doesn't know where this place is, but Qi Rong frowned.

"This Jiefang Garden, wasn't it bought by a real estate developer and is going to be demolished? Why is Wang Xia living here?"

Liu Yu turned around and then answered in a deep voice:

"Didn't I say that his life is difficult? He couldn't afford to rent a house in the city, so he rented a house that was about to be demolished. The rent was also very cheap, but the water and electricity were basically cut off frequently."

Li Yi sighed. It's not easy for anyone these days!

"Brother Yu, how sure do you think we are to persuade him?"

Liu Yu frowned and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "50% to 60%, there is a little hope, but it can't be said too absolutely!"

Li Yi stroked his chin, thinking in his heart, what kind of chips should be thrown out so that this person can follow him?

Not long after, the Pusang stopped in front of an old community.

There are a total of six buildings in the large courtyard of the community, each of which is only four stories high, but four buildings have been demolished, leaving only two buildings.

The people who refuse to move out of these two buildings are mostly the legendary nail households.

No wonder the rent is cheap, the environment of this place is simply indescribable!

In order to make these stubborn households leave, the real estate developers have done everything they can, cutting off water and electricity for three days.

In addition, a garbage dump was built next to the two buildings, which was stinking and made Li Yi frown.

"Living in this place is really hard for our hero Wang!"

Hearing Qi Rong's words, Liu Yu and Li Yi nodded.

Li Yi said in a deep voice: No matter how great the hope is, we have to give it a try. Isn't it better to go to our company's dormitory than to live in this dangerous building that is in danger of falling every day?"

Qi Rong sighed and said slowly: "I'm afraid that this kid will still be upset and hate me!"

Li Yi also nodded when he heard this. This is indeed a problem.

The three people came to the community side by side, bypassing the dilapidated houses that had almost been demolished beyond recognition. There were not many households in the two buildings where people still lived. According to the information collected by Liu Yu, the entire Jiefang Garden was only There are only five or six families left.

Most of these families stayed because they were dissatisfied with the demolition payment.

In fact, to be honest, these people are somewhat ignorant, because most people are very satisfied with the sincerity of this real estate company.

Anyone who moves out will not only get the demolition money, but after the house is rebuilt, a small square meter house will be left behind as compensation!

Such real estate developers are actually very conscientious.

The purpose of Li Yi and others' coming this time was just to take away Wang Xia. They did not want to get involved in the conflict between the nail house and the developer.

However, Li Yi and others still felt some hostile eyes...

Li Yi felt a little confused. The people sitting in the yard were all middle-aged people, or old men and women. There were seven or eight people in total, and their eyes were actually the same!

"Brother Rong, what's going on? We didn't provoke them or mess with them!"

Qi Rong sighed after hearing Li Yi's words, and said helplessly: "These people probably regard us as lobbyists for the construction company!"

When Li Yi heard this, he suddenly realized.

Liu Yu came to an old lady and asked with a smile: "Old man, there is a tenant here named Wang Xia. Do you know where he is?"
