My courtyard shelter

Chapter 214: Public Opinion Leading

"Old Wang, what about your house in Champs Elysees?"

"Don't mention it, it's 100% unsafe. Reading" Wang Xiujuan shook her head.

"Alas, won't we be neighbors in the future?" Aunt Xu said regretfully.

Wang Xiujuan waved her hand: "It's okay, just rent a house when the time comes, I still want to live here."

As for letting her son move in, even if Zhang Kai and his wife agree, she will not agree.

First, her son's house is larger and the supporting facilities around the community are better; second, the people living in the community are all related internal personnel, which is more conducive to her son's career development.

No matter how willful she is, she will not joke about her son's future.

"Auntie Wang, please talk to my mother. I have something to do here and I won't accompany you."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Xiao Xu, wait a moment." Wang Xiujuan called Xu Dong.

"Uh, Auntie Wang, do you have anything else to do?"

Wang Xiujuan was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Xu, do you still have the butter from last time?"

This artificial butter is really a good thing. Since the family has cooking, the two children have eaten deliciously, and no one needs to worry about them. The eldest grandson has gained several pounds recently.

It's a pity that although the butter is good, it is consumed a little quickly.

It's only been a month, and the family has eaten about one-third of the butter. With this calculation, no matter how much they save, they can't last until the New Year.

"It's really gone." Xu Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't expect the butter to be so popular. When there is a chance next time, I will try to save more for you."

"Then it's settled, Auntie thank you here first."

Xu's mother took over the conversation: "What are you thanking me for? I'll get you a piece of fish meat later, and you can take it back to fry fish fillets."

"No need, every time you come here, you have to give me something, making me look like I'm begging for money, and people laugh at me." Wang Xiujuan declined.

"Who is laughing at me? Didn't you give me a lot of things? We are giving and taking. You are just overthinking." Xu Ma advised.

Xu Dong immediately gave an idea:

"Auntie Wang, if you don't want to take it for free, just buy it with money!" After saying that, he deliberately winked at his mother:

"Mom, remember to sell it at a higher price."

"Okay, this method is good." Xu Ma clapped her hands and praised.

Spending money to buy ingredients is a huge favor in itself, and it can also avoid the other party being embarrassed.

With the downhill ladder, Wang Xiujuan was naturally willing, so she agreed half-heartedly.

An hour later, Wang Xiujuan left the courtyard with a smile on her face, carrying five kilograms of fish in her left hand and holding her grandson in her right hand.

After seeing Auntie Wang off, Xu Dong began to clean the dust on the roof under Xu Ma's order.

He hadn't been back for several months, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the roof and the glass cover, even affecting the light in the yard.

Yang Lina cleaned several times, but she only cleaned standing on the balcony, and the cleaning effect was very limited.

After more than an hour of work, the whole courtyard was brand new. Xu's mother nodded with satisfaction. It's really not good to have no man at home.

...

In the evening, Xu Dong took his three sons, Mark, and the four of them and the dog for a walk in the yard.

Mark had been wild for a while, and he was a little uncomfortable with being tied up suddenly. Xu Dong felt sorry for him, so he had to use the time of walking to let him go.

Dabao held his father with one hand and Mark's collar with the other hand. The little guy was very happy.

Erbao and Xiaobao were also excited. They touched the dog's head for a while, and pinched the dog's ears for a while, full of curiosity.

Usually at home, Yang Lina strictly forbade the little guys to approach pets, mainly because she was afraid of accidents.

Lele was bitten by a pet dog in the community when he was a child, and finally got a rabies vaccine for a month.

After walking, Yang Lina took the little guys to drink water.

Xu Dong had nothing to do, so he went back to the living room and turned on the TV. He usually didn't watch other channels, only the news channel.

And it was the kind that was broadcast live all day.

As he watched, he gradually figured out something.

For example, the news that is being broadcast now is about criticizing evil landlords, which makes people grit their teeth.

Speaking of which, this news happened at the end of last month. The story goes like this:

At the end of last year, Mr. Wang brought his wife and three children to Yanjing to make a living. Because they couldn't get a number for public rental housing, the family could only rent a small single room as a place to stay.

Originally, life was okay. The male owner found a courier job, and the female owner relied on odd jobs to barely support the family.

It's just that in recent months, due to the epidemic, the courier business volume has been much worse, and the family income has dropped sharply.

What's hateful is that the landlord is forcing the rent to increase.

Mr. Wang really couldn't pay, and finally, under the coercion and inducement of the landlord, he could only use a quarter of the family's food rations as rent.

By the end of the month, despite saving money, Mr. Wang's family still ran out of food. He borrowed money from all his colleagues and begged the landlord, but it was all in vain.

According to the suicide note at the scene.

Late at night on June 27, looking at the three children crying with hunger, Mr. Wang threw the three children out of the window in despair, and then the couple jumped off the building.

This is a complete tragedy.

Next, the news broadcast a number of similar cases one after another, with some minor and some serious plots.

The reporter finally made a statistical report. Among the hundreds of tenants interviewed, more than one-third of the interviewees had related experiences to some extent.

The news therefore directly targeted the group of "evil landlords", believing that they lacked empathy and were the "Zhou Bapi" of the new era.

Xu Dong took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, the word "evil landlord" shot directly to the top of the hot search list. The Internet was filled with shouts of beating and murder, and people asked higher-level departments to take action.

In addition, the identity information of this "evil landlord" was also revealed. Not only was the front door of their house blocked for several days, the couple also lost their jobs, which was equivalent to immediate social death.

At this time, Xu’s mother happened to come over. When she saw the news on TV, she immediately became angry:

"How could such a wolf-hearted thing be so capable of robbing a child's food rations? He should be caught and shot."

"Mom, calm down." Xu Dong pulled his mother to sit down. "It's impossible to shoot someone. The landlord doesn't steal or rob. At most, it's just morally wrong, not even illegal."

"What are you talking about? People like this should go to hell."

"Yes, go to hell." Xu Dong agreed.

He has already guessed the above plan. It is obvious that this is paving the way for "housing reform" and it can be said that it is well-intentioned.

Although there is a lot of criticism on the Internet now, when the "housing reform" policy is introduced, it is guaranteed to be different.

Nowadays, most of the people who can afford the Internet are wealthy people, and no one has two or three houses.
