Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Liu Guangfu said anxiously from the side.

"This is already the maximum reduction in sentence we can offer according to the rules. There's no room for negotiation on this matter. Let me tell you, if Xu Damao doesn't agree to this, their sentences will only increase, not decrease."

Leader Li was also dissatisfied with Liu Guangfu's lack of manners.

According to regulations, in cases like Liu Haizhong's, the minimum treatment period should be at least ten years.

Although Liu Guangqi was an accomplice, he did injure someone, so he should be sentenced to seven or eight years in prison.

Now that Xu Damao has reached a compensation agreement with you, he has done his best to reduce the punishment.

As it turns out, Liu Guangfu is still so ignorant, saying such things.

This made Leader Li a little angry. He thought it would be better not to come and play the nice guy, but to just do things according to the rules.

Liu Haizhong's wife quickly pulled Liu Guangfu over.

“Okay, let’s do it this way (cgcb). Our family accepts this punishment. I’ll go back now and raise the money to pay you all the compensation and other things.”

Liu Haizhong's wife quickly said.

"You have one month to pay all the compensation within one month. Make sure you pay every penny to the film studio. Their projector alone costs 800 yuan, plus Xu Damao's hospitalization expenses."

"It will take about 1,500 yuan, plus his living expenses. You need to figure out a way to raise the money. If you can't raise it within a month, we will have no choice but to auction off your house and use the proceeds to compensate the victim."

Seeing this, Leader Li quickly explained the situation to them, in order to put Xu Damao at ease.

Liu Haizhong's wife nodded blankly and helped Liu Guangfu out of the inspection team.

"Comrade Xu Damao, do you have anything to say about this outcome?"

Leader Li turned around with a smile and said to Xu Damao.

"Thank you so much, leaders. If it weren't for you, I might have really gone and committed suicide. I am very satisfied with this outcome. Thank you very much."

Xu Damao thanked him repeatedly.

If it weren't for the inspection team, they would have investigated this matter so quickly and exonerated themselves.

Now I'm stuck in the house, and I might die without anyone even noticing.

Fortunately, I don't have any major worries in the second half of my life now.

Having someone to wait on him and being able to get money was enough for Xu Damao to be content.

What more could a person confined to a wheelchair possibly hope for?

This result is already the best it can be.

"Alright, since there are no objections, just sign this document. I'll send the inspection team members to take you back. Stay home for the next few days and wait for news from us."

"Once the Liu family has raised all the money, we will send someone to deliver it to you as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Leader Li took a document out of his drawer.

Once Xu Damao signs the document, the matter will be completely over.

Xu Damao saw it or not, and without saying a word, he signed his name.

Leader Li also instructed his subordinates to send Xu Damao back home.

……

Liu family.

“Mom, since Dad and my brother have gotten into such a big mess, I’m not staying in this Liu family anymore. I’m going to live somewhere else. I can’t let the presence of these two people in my family ruin my future good life.”

"I don't want to stay here and be pointed at and talked about in the future."

Liu Guangfu had already made his plans; he wanted to break away from the Liu family now.

As for losing money, that has nothing to do with me.

Leave Beijing, go to another city, find a job, and start your life anew.

She wouldn't be implicated by her father and brother.

As for this family, it was originally a place of loving father and filial son, but there was no warmth in it.

If someone is so calculating about everything, it's perfectly understandable for them to want to leave at this point.

When Liu Haizhong's wife heard what her son said, she was filled with mixed feelings, but what could she do?

Just like the neighbors in the courtyard were saying, if something happens, this family will definitely fall apart.

Sure enough, their attitude towards the children has now been reciprocated.

Liu Guangfu wanted to leave, and there was nothing that could stop him.

"Go, and don't come back."

Liu Haizhong's wife seemed to be using the last bit of her strength to speak.

Liu Guangfu had nothing to miss, so he looked for his own clothes in the closet.

He picked up his suitcase, packed his belongings, and left the courtyard house without saying a word.

In the huge house, only Liu Haizhong's wife was crying alone, looking utterly dejected.

"What's the use of this house now that we've lost our home? If we can sell this house with the compensation money and fill this hole, that'll be good enough."

"My wife in the bangs muttered to herself."

……

Upon receiving the news, the steel rolling mill immediately dismissed Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi.

The news of Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi's punishments quickly spread throughout Beijing.

The neighbors in Beijing were all talking about it behind their backs.

Even some families with grudges quickly put aside their differences and shook hands to make peace, fearing that such a thing might happen to them.

Chapter 165 The Arrival of Director Wang of the Street Office

This afternoon, after getting off work, Director Wang rushed to the courtyard house.

I heard about the big incident that happened to the Liu family today, and as the director of the neighborhood committee, I naturally had to come and take a look as soon as possible.

What exactly happened? Is there anything I can do to help?

Although what Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi did was indeed infuriating, their wives and children at home were always innocent.

Liu family.

“Sister-in-law, we need to think of a solution now. Is there anything I can do to help? Just let me know. I know your family is in a difficult situation right now, and we need to pay this money as soon as possible, otherwise this matter won't be over.”

Director Wang was also aware of this matter, and losing money was a very important issue.

If it is truly impossible to submit all these fees within one month.

Let's not even talk about what life will be like for Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi in prison.

Anyway, Liu Haizhong's wife is definitely not having a good time.

"At this point, there's no better way to resolve this. If you're really willing to help me, please ask around to see if anyone has the money to buy my house. I really have no other options."

Liu Haizhong's wife was also very helpless.

Our family's savings over the years are barely enough to cover the cost of a projector.

The remaining two hundred yuan wasn't even enough to pay for Xu Damao's medical treatment.

Moreover, Xu Damao's current living expenses are something he has nowhere to borrow from.

My family home is very far from Beijing; a month is simply not enough time to travel back and forth.

Besides, my relationship with my family isn't very good, even if I went over and explained the situation.

Whether her family will give her anything is another question.

I am truly at my wit's end, and selling my property is the only option left.

I truly have no way to repay such a huge sum of compensation.

"Selling the house isn't a good idea either. Most people in Beijing are ordinary citizens with limited funds. Unless their children are getting married and they desperately need a house, no one will want to buy a house anytime soon."

When Director Wang of the neighborhood office heard that Liu Haizhong's wife wanted to sell the house, he felt very helpless. Could this be considered a good solution?

We are all ordinary people, and at most we have about a thousand yuan in savings.

Given the current circumstances, marriage is usually something that can be done by making do for now.

Few people buy a house as a wedding home.

Although Liu Haizhong's house is indeed quite large, it's still surprising that he could come up with so much money all at once.

Director Wang still doesn't know who to turn to.

"Here's what we'll do, sister-in-law, don't worry. There's still a month left, right? I'll ask around every day when I'm at work to see if anyone wants to buy it. If so, I'll introduce them to you right away, and then you can discuss the price."

Director Wang said helplessly.

“If we can’t raise this money, the house will eventually have to be auctioned off. I have no money left. I gave the thousand yuan to the film studio, and I only have two hundred yuan left. It’s not even enough to cover Xu Damao’s living expenses. I’ll have to trouble you, Director Wang.”

Liu Haizhong's wife also noticed Director Wang's helplessness.

I felt very helpless; selling a house is not an easy thing at all.
