Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids! Chapter 254: Turmoil Over Reclaiming the House

He had to go and see what it’s like to own a courtyard house at such a young age, so he could give up on it.

Old Fang steadily drove the car to the destination.

It wasn’t until they were almost parked that Xiao Jinlin spoke up, "Secretary Chen, can you drive?"

"Yes."

The three n were roughly aware in their hearts.

No wonder Chen Xinyue was different from those won before; as it turned out, she had her own family background and was loved dearly, and didn’t need to rely on n at all.

With this in mind, Tang Ming instantly let go of those ssy suspicions about Chen Xinyue.

Under Chen Xinyue’s lead, the three entered Xin Hutong and discovered the alley’s exterior had clearly been re-planned and renovated, ancient and clean; if the door wasn’t open, staying in the alley was quite comfortable.

There were also people coming and going, pushing tricycles; elderly n and won going in and out—the place was full of daily life atmosphere.

"We’re here." Chen Xinyue stopped in front of an original wood-colored door, slightly ajar, indicating there were people inside.

She pushed the door open while loudly asking, "Is anyone there?"

As soon as the words fell, two n appeared one after the other in the corridor.

The other party clearly didn’t expect Chen Xinyue to bring so many people, and quickly greeted warmly, "Miss Chen, this is the tenant. You know, he’s been renting this house for two years; he’s been living quite well. If the contract hadn’t expired, he wouldn’t want to move. I’m here now, and the other party is talking about the house renovation to ."

"House renovation? What did he do to my house?" Chen Xinyue was imdiately unhappy, pulled out the contract, "Our contract clearly states, the house cannot be altered!"

She deliberately raised her voice, making both the agent and the tenant a bit embarrassed.

Imdiately, Chen Xinyue boldly entered and inspected the house inside and out.

This house of hers was originally a standard courtyard with just one entrance—the larger type; behind the main house, there was a space one and a half ters wide; the other party actually covered this space. Clearly, many people lived here over these two years, but now they’re gone, leaving only one man.

Chen Xinyue took a deep breath, ignored the man, and targeted the agent, "Big Brother, you took a commission fee; now the house is like this, you have to fix it for , or should we call the police?"

The man jumped, discontented, frowned, "It’s just adding two rooms; is it necessary? We’re even at a loss financially; not asking you for money is already good enough, what reason do you have to call the police!"

"Because I have a contract! Because you illegally remodeled soone else’s house!" Chen Xinyue was furious, her words particularly confrontational.

The agent hurriedly stood between the two, "Everyone, calm down. This is indeed the tenant’s fault. Miss Chen, how about I have the other party dismantle these illegal constructions and restore it to its original state?"

"Why dismantle? I paid for all these materials!" The man stomped angrily; he wouldn’t have stayed back to ask the landlord for the money if it wasn’t for retrieving the material costs; unexpectedly, he hadn’t spoken yet and was being held down by a young girl.

The agent was imdiately displeased, "Because you illegally remodeled! I told you all, the landlord clearly stated in black and white, you can only live here, can’t change the house; you didn’t listen to a word!"

The man sniffed coldly, "Without extra rooms, we’d barely fit in!"

"Then you can choose not to rent! We did not force a deal!" Chen Xinyue rebutted.

The man got angry and was about to use force.

Xiao Jinlin’s face turned dark, "Tang Ming, call the police!"

"Yes, boss!" Tang Ming dialed the police in front of everyone.

The man was angry, anxious, and scared, viciously cursed "lunatics" before attempting to leave.

Tang Ming directly stopped him, "Before the police arrive, no one can leave here!"

"What gives you the right to stop ? I’ve decided to leave anyway!" The man pressed back hard.

Tang Ming wasn’t soone to ss with; with a few swift moves, he had the man pinned to the wall, unable to move.

Seeing his skills, both Chen Xinyue and the agent were amazed.

"Assistant Tang, impressive!" Chen Xinyue praised without hesitation.

Tang Ming arrogantly tossed the bangs on his forehead.

The agent snapped out of it, quickly pleaded for the man, "Miss Chen, can we settle this privately? I can persuade the tenant to compensate for your loss, may I?"

Faced with the pleading eyes of the agent.

Chen Xinyue glanced at the man, "Big Brother, do you think you have the ability to make him pay? Private settlent is possible; hand over my losses now, I’ll accept private settlent, no delays."

The agent choked and fell silent; if he had such ability, he wouldn’t be stuck negotiating with the tenant for so long—the man was like a miser, even counting on material expenses alone, how could he possibly pay more money.

The man, upon hearing he had to pay now, imdiately burst out with curses and threats.

Even as the police arrived, he was unwilling, starting to lay on the ground pretending dead, "They hurt ; I need hospitalization, injury assessnt, compensation!"

Tang Ming wasn’t indulging him, instantly contacted the lawyer, sneered, "The SY International Group’s legal team is en route, daring to swindle us, better get inford!"

The man had no clue what SY International Group was; the agent, inford of all current news, was imdiately cowed, dared not utter a word.

The man was then escorted away by the police.

Chen Xinyue and Tang Ming, along with the agent, went to the police station to record statents, with Old Fang first taking Xiao Jinlin back.

Due to the man’s illegal house remodeling, later violent resistance, and false accusations, Tang Ming as one of the responders firmly refused private settlent, showing a very tough stance.

Police diation failed; thus, legally imposing administrative detention on the man.

The man finally realized fear, began crying and begging, but Tang Ming refused to relent, leaving the police station with Chen Xinyue.

"That man is clearly not a good person; I think this house should remain unrenovated and unoccupied for a while, it’s not safe. Maybe wait a year or two," suggested Tang Ming.

Chen Xinyue nodded sullenly, "Assistant Tang, fortunately, you all were here today; otherwise, I really couldn’t have managed alone."

Tang Ming laughed, "No big deal; if you really want to thank us, treat Mr. Xiao, Uncle Fang, and to a al!"

Chen Xinyue nodded fiercely.

Then she called Chen Ruiyu.

When the call connected, she couldn’t help but cry, "Brother! I was bullied..."

Chen Ruiyu was imdiately worried, "What’s going on? Tell slowly, I’m buying a ticket now to co see you."

Chen Xinyue quickly stopped him, "No, no, the matter’s resolved, you don’t need to co, it’s just that my house can’t be lived in temporarily, I’m afraid of danger."

Then Chen Xinyue recounted the recent occurrences in detail.

Chen Ruiyu was infuriated, yet he suppressed his anger to comfort Chen Xinyue, "Don’t be sad; if this house can’t be lived in, you can stay in mine. Mine is also expired, not renewed. I’ll reclaim it; you don’t need to deal with it. I’ll have a friend manage it; once the house is reclaid, they’ll directly hand you the keys; it should only take two or three days to sort out."
