Chapter 83 Chance Encounter

The next day, Zhang Xingwang wrote an agreement in front of his mother's surprised eyes.

The content was roughly about renting a house in the front yard and giving it to a deaf old lady for free use. The rent was paid by Zhang Xingwang and the term was until the old lady's death. They didn't dare to write that it was a free lease, for fear that someone would accuse her of subletting.

After pressing the fingerprints, he took the agreement to find the deaf old lady. The old lady didn't understand it. She thought that it would be troublesome if Zhang Xingwang had bad intentions in such a big matter, so she dragged him to find Yi Zhonghai. Zhang Xingwang would definitely not agree. Yi Zhonghai would definitely do something fishy after seeing it. Neither of them trusted each other.

Zhang Xingwang simply told them to go to the street office and ask Director Wang to act as a middleman. Only then did the old lady think it was feasible.

The old lady took the certificate and went to the street office together to see Director Wang directly.

Zhang Xingwang thought about it for a long time and decided to tell the truth. After all, the other person was not stupid. It was something you could never dream of that a five-guarantee household would give you a house for no reason.

As Director Wang looked at me inexplicably, he said, "My wife and I are here to handle the procedures for the gift of a house." Director Wang did not respond, but remained silent for a while before saying:

"What about the old lady? Where will she live?"

"Auntie Wang, I'll tell you the truth. I want to buy the old lady's house."

Then he took out the agreement, told the truth, and gave the old lady 500 yuan.

In fact, most of the houses that are donated these days are sold privately. Director Wang is also aware of this, but he is the first one who dares to say it in front of her. She thinks that this guy's brain is not fully recovered yet.

But after hearing the conditions, I felt that the old lady had a place to live and could be given 500 yuan, which was not bad. After all, the old lady’s two houses were worth less than 700 yuan.

Director Wang then asked the old lady again, and when he learned that she was doing it voluntarily, he stared at Zhang Xingwang speechlessly for a while, and gave him a wonderful expression that showed that he would never do it again if the old lady did it.

As the old lady looked reluctant, she called the clerk and handled the procedures on the spot.

Zhang Xingwang also gave the money and the signed agreement to the deaf old lady in front of Director Wang.

It can be said that the two pigs were not sent here in vain. Although Director Wang will not admit it, he can testify privately.

After they finished, they turned around and went back. Tomorrow happened to be a day off, so they told the old lady to keep it a secret for now. They would wait for her to pack up today and start moving tomorrow.

After the hardworking Master Zhang returned, he started cooking again, but the old lady still didn't get to eat meat because her stomach was not well yet.

Liu Junming happened to take advantage of the lunch break and called a tricycle to move two sets of furniture to the house in the front yard. Zhang Xingwang went over to take a look and saw an almost new bed, a fairly new square table and four stools.

Liu Juncai saw Zhang Xingwang coming and said embarrassedly:

"There's really no other way. I can't get furniture tickets. I bought this on Taobao. I can only let Pandi do it for now. The table is pretty good, and the bed will be ready after I paint it."

Zhang Xingwang didn't say anything after hearing this. He just thought that he should get all the furniture ready at once when renovating the house.

Let’s not worry about the furniture for now. The house has already been solved for him. If he takes care of the furniture as well, it will seem like my second sister is worried about getting married.

Anyway, the furniture in these two rooms is much better than the one in our current home. Nowadays, unlike before, people don’t compare themselves with each other when getting married. They just go through the formalities to witness the event. I can buy a dressing table and a radio for my second sister later.

Zhang Xingwang took a look and left, heading to the middle courtyard. An aunt was chatting with a few aunts in the courtyard. Zhang Xingwang saw that he couldn't be left out of such an activity, so he picked up a brick and went over.

When the other aunts saw his behavior, they thought he was crazy again and were about to flee in fear, but they were stopped by an auntie who smiled and said to them:

"Xingwang is a good kid, a nice person"

Only then did Zhang Xingwang join the propaganda team in the yard. He put a brick under his butt, sat up straight and started chatting with a few aunts about daily life.

By the way, he took out a few handfuls of melon seeds from the space and distributed them to a few people. The atmosphere instantly became lively, and everyone smiled at each other and started talking about everything under the sun.

Zhang Xingwang intentionally or unintentionally turned the topic to children, and watched the reactions of the aunts while talking. He heard the aunts talking about the interesting things and gossips of their children when they were young, such as which kid still wet the bed at the age of five, and which kid calls everyone he sees dad. The aunt felt like she was being scratched by a cat.

I couldn’t stand hearing these things before, as I felt like they were mocking myself. But ever since I decided to adopt a child, I could only feel longing when I heard them.

I thought I would take some time tomorrow to go to the street office to ask first, and then tell Lao Yi when I have news.

Zhang Xingwang saw that the lady was already getting annoyed by what he heard, so he got up and went home. Before leaving, he said:

"Last time I talked to Auntie at your house about the assistance from the hospital, but there has been no movement from Uncle. You should find some time to ask Uncle."

The auntie was so fascinated by what she heard that she was imagining how to raise the adopted child. I don't know if she heard it clearly, but she just waved her hand to indicate that she understood.

After saying that, Zhang Xingwang strolled back, thinking that now that the house issue was settled, it was time to give Yi Zhonghai and his temporary allies some trouble.

How can it be possible to see them lying on the bed, with people serving them and providing them with food and drink? They will suffer physical pain and psychological damage as well.

We have to find Liu Haizhong and develop a temporary teammate for this matter. I can still cheer him on from behind, or if that doesn't work, I can just fan the flames.

Thinking that I had nothing to do in the afternoon, I decided to go to the library to see if there were any books on hunting, do some research, and improve my hunting skills. So I rode my bike to the library.

The Yenching Library is quite distinctive. From the outside of the gate it looks like a palace, full of ancient charm.

After parking the car and entering, I asked the staff to apply for a library card, and then started looking for books on hunting around the bookshelf.

The original body only had a junior high school education due to physical reasons. When he was in school, he was sick and did not study for three days and two days. He barely passed the graduation exam. He had some basic knowledge, otherwise, these traditional Chinese characters would be enough to make Zhang Xingwang drink a pot.

I searched for a long time for domestic ones but couldn't find any. However, there were a few foreign books, so I bought them and prepared to study them.

When he walked to the desk, he took two cookbooks. After realizing it, Zhang Xingwang quickly put them back as if his hand was scalded. He was wondering why the library still collected cookbooks. Isn't this bullying an honest person?

When I turned around, I inadvertently saw a very special girl. Her dress was a little different from that of girls of this era, and overall she had a bit of the feel of a girl from the Republic of China.

People just passed by him and took a quick look at him. Apart from his clothes, they only saw half of his profile and didn't pay attention to what he looked like.
