127 Bitterly Disappointed; Wait a Moment!
The furniture in Zhang Song’s house was relatively old, but it was very neat and tidy.
A big clock that was swinging, a steel cup with a red scarf painted on it…
Everything seemed very warm and full of life.
Lin Fan sipped his tea, feeling extremely relaxed and at ease.
Rustle!
At this moment, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen.
Then, a burst of fragrance drifted over.
Lin Fan did not want to eat.
After all, he had just eaten.
However, Zhang Song’s mother, Chen Li, insisted on cooking.
She also said that even if he did not want to eat, he could still sit for a while.
Lin Fan could not be stubborn, so he could only stay.
Not long after, Chen Li and Zhang Huiling carried plates of food and placed them on the table in the living room.
Shredded pork with green pepper, seaweed egg soup, cucumber ham, tomato egg…
“Lin Fan, come and sit down,” Chen Li said as she limped to the table.
“Sure!” Lin Fan replied.
Even though he had already had lunch.
However, he could not help but start eating when he smelled the fragrance on the table.
Lin Fan could not stop eating until his stomach was round and he could not eat anymore… Only then did he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
“Aunt, your cooking is really delicious!” Lin Fan said sincerely.
“Then you’ll have to come here often to eat in the future!” Chen Li said happily.
“Then I’ll thank you in advance, Aunt,” Lin Fan said.
After eating and drinking to their hearts’ content, they chatted for a while. The atmosphere was very warm and harmonious, just like a family.
“Aunt, your leg seems to be a big bother,” Lin Fan said.
“I broke my bone a few years ago, and I’ve been unable to exert full strength ever since…” Chen Li sighed.
“If isn’t because of that, Lil Song and Huiling wouldn’t be so tired even without their father.”
At this point, the atmosphere in the house became a little heavy.
All the hardships they had gone through all these years came to mind.
Lin Fan said, “So, it’s your leg… I have a bottle of medicine here. I heard it’s very effective. Drink it and try it.”
Then, Lin Fan spent ten million yuan on a bottle of Medical Water.
Lin Fan was not lacking in money.
Zhang Song was his good friend. When he was in school, he helped him a lot.
This meal was also very enjoyable.
That was why Lin Fan was willing to help.
Chen Li saw that it was a small bottle of medicine. Although she did not think that it would have any effect, her leg had been injured for a few years, after all.
Chen Li was still very happy. After all, this was a kind gesture from her son’s friend.
“Lin Fan, thank you.”
“Is this for external application or internal consumption?” she asked.
“Aunt, you can just drink it,” Lin Fan said.
“Alright,” she said. Chen Li nodded and drank it without any hesitation.
Then, they started to chat again.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside.
Then, several security guards came in.
A middle-aged man with an inch-long beard, Zou Kaiwei, stood at the very front. He chuckled and said, “Oh, the whole family is here.”
The moment he opened his mouth, the atmosphere immediately turned cold.
Chen Li’s expression was a little unsightly. “Supervisor Zou, we have a guest at our house today. If there’s anything you need, please come again next time.”
However, not only did Zou Kaiwei not leave, but his eyes flickered as he said, “If it was regarding a private matter, I’d definitely leave.
“However, I’m here to read out the factory’s notice and execute the factory’s orders. I have to do it regardless of whether there are guests here or not. After all, this is my job.”
After a pause, Zou Kaiwei took out a document and read it out in a serious tone. “As the factory is continuing to develop and the number of employees is continuing to increase, there’s a shortage of staff accommodation…
“According to the decision of the factory leaders, Zhang Yongliang’s dormitory is to be taken back. All staff living in the dormitory should move out immediately.”
After he finished reading…
Zou Kaiwei continued, “Chen Li, you said last time that since there’s no notice from the factory, you won’t be moving. Now that I do have a notice, you should move, right?”
“This is the house that the factory gave to our family!” Chen Li said angrily. “Our Old Zhang died because of work!
“The tea is cold when the person is gone, but it shouldn’t be like this! Supervisor Zou, don’t you think it’s too disappointing and unreasonable?”
The man died for his job, and now, they were going to take away his house!
Their hearts were extremely cold!
The more Chen Li thought about it, the angrier she got. The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached. Her turbid tears began to well up.
However, Zou Kaiwei was completely unmoved. He said, “You can’t talk about reason like this. When Zhang Yongliang died, did you guys receive any compensation?
“Logically speaking, you should’ve moved out at that time. However, it’s precisely because I pitied you that I’ve been allowing you to live here until now.
“Now, there’s not enough housing in the factory. I have no choice but to let you move out. I’ve already done my best.”
Chen Li was even more enraged now. She opened her mouth to speak but ended up coughing violently instead.
Zhang Huiling quickly supported Chen Li and said, “Mom, are you okay?”
Zhang Song shouted, “What do you mean we should move out? Our family has signed a housing contract with the factory before!”
As he spoke, he took out a yellowed document.
Zou Kaiwei’s expression changed slightly when he saw that.
He knew of such a contract, but Chen Li had not brought it out the past few times he had been here.
Therefore, Zou Kaiwei thought that she lost it.
However, when he saw the contents of the contract, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Yes, this is the factory’s contract, but look, this is only a 20-year lease contract! It’s already been 20 years, and the contract is no longer valid,” Zou Kaiwei said.
When the factory built the staff dormitories, they did not have the relevant documents.
Therefore, they could only sign a zero-yuan lease contract with each household.
However, according to the country’s regulations, the longest lease time was 20 years, which was the basis of the contract as well.
At this moment, Chen Li had already recovered and shouted, “When we signed the contract, the leader clearly said that the contract would be automatically extended when the time was up!”
“Chen Li, you’re wrong about that,” Zou Kaiwei said earnestly. “We’re in a society ruled by law now, so we need evidence for everything!
“If the contract states that it’s an automatic extension, then I’ll turn around and leave without a second word. The problem is that there’s no such thing on here…
“I’ve already explained my reasoning. Chen Li, the factory leaders want you to move out today. Don’t make things difficult for me.”
“This is my house! I won’t move!” Chen Li said firmly.
“If you put it that way, then we might have to take some necessary measures,” Zou Kaiwei said in a deep voice.
After saying that, the security guards beside him strode forward as if they had turned into a group of demons.
“Wait a moment!”
At this moment, a loud and clear voice rang out from outside.
