Chapter 390: Endure!
Chapter 390: Endure!
Seeing his attitude, I silently told myself one word: patience!
"Tell me, how much money do you want?" Song Yang had already figured out this person and asked bluntly.
"Is it about money?" Li Qiang changed his tone.
The child's grandmother also spoke softly from the side, her eyes somewhat dim and full of reluctance: "Yes, we've lived here all our lives, and we've grown attached to every blade of grass and every tree."
I glanced at Grandma, then at Li Qiang, my tone gentle yet firm: "We fully understand your feelings, so we will try our best to meet your reasonable needs regarding demolition compensation and resettlement. We're here today to hear your thoughts and see how we can make your relocation more reassuring."
Li Qiang stroked his chin, his eyes darting around, and said slowly, "As for the resettlement house, it's definitely better if it's close to here, so the old lady doesn't have to go through all the trouble of traveling back and forth. As for the compensation, it has to be generous; there's still a long road ahead."
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a strong desire for profit, yet there was also a hint of concern for his grandmother.
It seems this guy still has some conscience. I listened attentively while writing down Li Qiang's requests, internally considering whether they were reasonable.
Grandma suddenly said, with a hint of worry on her face and a hesitant tone, "I'm getting old, and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the new environment."
Li Qiang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Mom, what's there to be uncomfortable about? The new place will definitely be better than here."
But after saying that, she seemed to realize it wasn't quite right, so she gently patted her grandmother's hand and added, "Don't worry, I'll be there to help you adjust." As she spoke, her expression once again revealed a fleeting tenderness for her grandmother.
I said, "Grandma, the property management in the new community will be very responsible, and there are many places for seniors to participate in activities. You will definitely adapt quickly. In addition, we will do our best to help you solve any problems you encounter during the relocation process."
Grandma nodded slightly, a relieved smile appearing on her face: "That's good, that's good."
During the conversation, Li Qiang also raised some questions about the relocation time and transitional resettlement.
He frowned and said in a somewhat urgent tone, "Can the relocation time be postponed? I still need to make some arrangements. The temporary resettlement conditions have to be good, otherwise how can people live here?"
We stated that we would arrange the relocation time reasonably based on their actual situation, and provide corresponding assistance and subsidies during the transitional period.
Time slipped by unnoticed. Our conversation grew increasingly deeper.
Gradually, Li Qiang and his grandmother showed expressions of relief.
Li Qiang nodded slightly, a relaxed smile on his face: "Hearing you say that, it's alright. As long as we get what we're entitled to, demolition isn't out of the question." Grandma nodded as well, agreeing with her son, the wrinkles on her face seeming to smooth out a bit.
Seeing their attitude change, I relaxed my tense nerves.
Then we talked to them about some details about the living facilities and surrounding amenities in the new community. I explained in detail: "There are supermarkets and clinics in the new community, and there is also a park nearby, so life is very convenient."
This gave them a clearer understanding of their future lives.
Then he said, "Regarding the resettlement location, we currently have several options. One of them is a community not far from here, with a nice environment and complete supporting facilities. As for the compensation, we have calculated it according to relevant policies and market assessments, which is absolutely fair and just. If you have any questions, we can review the relevant documents together."
He remained silent after hearing this. As I continued speaking, Song Yang took out the resettlement plan and compensation calculation documents, placed them on the table, and gently pushed them in front of them.
Li Qiang and his grandmother listened attentively. Li Qiang leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the documents, occasionally frowning as he asked questions: "Are the property management fees for this resettlement community expensive? How are parking spaces calculated?" His tone revealed a strong concern for his own interests. His grandmother also leaned closer to look at the documents, asking with a puzzled look, "When will the compensation arrive in our account?"
"Anyway, the money will arrive on time," Xu Sisi said helplessly from the side.
"But now there's a tricky problem: you know, if your house is demolished and redeveloped, other people will also get a share of the compensation."
Upon hearing the words "split the money," Li Qiang immediately jumped up, "Who are you? There are four people in my family now, including me. There's no one else here."
"Your ex-wife, who wasn't married to you before."
"What? You mean her? She has nothing to do with us now."
"Calm down first." The child's grandmother quickly comforted him when she saw how agitated he was.
"Then tell me what's going on now." Li Qiang then sat down on the stool.
"We've seen your previous writings on property distribution, and..."
At this point, he remembered that he had written before, "But what's the use if the person is gone?"
"What if she has another agreement, and you didn't specify a timeframe? Do you think it would still become invalid?"
These words jolted him awake, and he hurriedly asked anxiously, "What should we do then?"
"What were you doing all this time? You weren't even married yet, why did you write this down?" Song Yang originally didn't want to get involved, but now he had no choice.
"You must help me."
Li Qiang immediately softened his tone, abandoning his previous arrogance.
"This can be solved, but you need to find the person first, otherwise it will be too late once work starts."
Li Qiang questioned Jiang Yichen: "Looking for someone? How can you possibly find them?"
“We can help you find one, but you’ll need to be considerate of the people living around here when they move.”
He agreed to Jiang Yichen's terms without hesitation.
"Now can you tell me how to find it?"
"Let's wait for the news," Jiang Yichen replied decisively.
I looked at Jiang Yichen. Although I knew he was very capable, I still had doubts. After all, could he really find it in such a short time?
I can sense that Li Qiang is worried about the future and also has an urgent desire for profit.
As it grew dark, we got up to say goodbye. Li Qiang and his grandmother saw us to the door.
The child's grandmother held our hands, her eyes filled with gratitude, her voice slightly choked: "Thank you so much for your help today, thank you for thinking of us so much."
"Sister, will you come to see me and my brother again?" the little girl asked me with her innocent big eyes.
"Of course I will." Then I added, "I'll bring you candy next time too."
"Thank you sister."
Li Qiang stood aside, unusually abandoning his nonchalant demeanor, and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, my attitude wasn't very good today. Thank you for your help."
"It's nothing, it's what we should do. Please contact us anytime if you have any problems in the future."
