Chapter 167. [Case 20] a day of leisure
During the day the next day, President Xu called us, saying that the electronic door was being repaired, and told the police that it was a fragmentation caused by improper human operation that day, and it had nothing to do with theft. At the same time, throughout the day, Hu Zongren and I also asked for a copy of Wang Shoubi's old man's subsistence allowance information from President Xu, thinking that we wouldn't be able to do anything else during the whole day anyway, so let's go and find it according to this address, maybe we can know something from the mouths of the neighbors around us, so as to analyze the reason why Granny Wang always refused to leave, and the specific time of death.
The place where Granny Wang lived before her death was actually not far from President Xu's bank, and after Hu Zongren and I got the photocopied materials, we only needed to walk for about ten minutes towards an older residential area behind the bank. The residential area in this area is in a very awkward development zone, which is not only not off the street, but also not very wide from the business district. It stands to reason that the area around Guanyin Bridge can be regarded as an inch of land, and the developer can make money even if it is idle. But the residential area where Granny Wang lives seems to be surrounded by many prosperous people, but no one cares about it. The staircase is not very high, the exterior wall of the house is still a brick structure, this is a house built in the early 90s, and the unit building where Granny Wang lives happens to be in a small courtyard with huge shade, Granny Wang, who lives on the second floor.
Maybe it's because there aren't many unfamiliar people in this residential area on weekdays, so the appearance of Hu Zongren and I attracted the attention of the neighbors in the courtyard who came together to chat. I could clearly perceive the way they looked at me and Hu Zongren, as if they were discussing who this person was behind their backs. I found the building where Granny Wang lived before her death, and then walked into the corridor to see the distribution of houses from No. 1 to No. 4. It just so happened that the 2-2 households where Granny Wang was located happened to be facing this side of the yard. So I stood downstairs and looked around, trying to see if there was anyone living in the house from the balcony of Granny Wang's house, because when we called the phone she left at that time, we guessed that it was her son who answered it, and that her son had used her identity information to fraudulently receive a minimum security allowance for several months long after Granny Wang's death.
Actually, I'm not against this kind of behavior, but I don't think why don't you take advantage of it? Could it be that I have dedicated my whole life to the country, in exchange for the subsistence allowance for the elderly, and I will take you for a few more months, so what? But when I looked around, I found that the small balcony was only about three square meters, and there were a few flower pots, but all the flowers in the pots were dead. A few small wire-like things were pulled in the air, presumably used to dry clothes. In addition to those empty hangers, there is also a small disc-shaped clip, which is usually used to dry some smaller things when we are at home, such as socks, such as handkerchiefs, etc. And the top is also empty, there is nothing.
According to the time, although the floor of Granny Wang's house is relatively low, the scope of the yard is very large, so the light in her house should be relatively sufficient. But almost all the windows that I could see belonged to this house were closed, and the windows seemed to be pasted with newspapers, which were lattice-shaped windows, and the glass at the bottom of the grid, and for some reason, a small piece of the road was broken, leaving a triangular opening.
Maybe it was because I was staring at someone's window for a long time, and an aunt on the side walked up to me and Hu Zongren and asked, "Young man, who are you looking for?" Hu Zongren glanced at me, probably he didn't know how to answer, so I told my aunt that this is the case, we belong to the developer, and this area may be about to be developed, so let's first understand the situation of the residents here.
What I'm saying is actually not a lie, because such an area close to the commercial center, first of all, if it is an old house, it will affect the aesthetics to a certain extent, and the low price in this area must be relatively expensive, so if I say this, I may be able to get some more words out of this aunt's mouth. Sure enough, as soon as I said this, my aunt's eyes began to shine, and she said, which developer are you from, are you ready to occupy the land for a long time? Listening to her tone, it seems that they have been in contact with many developers before this, and the reason why they asked me this is probably because they have not yet negotiated. I said that our company is quite large, and we just want to calculate how many households there are and calculate the assets, so that we can come up with a reasonable compensation plan to talk to your residents. The aunt put down the woolen clothes she was beating in her hand and said to us, there used to be a lot of people here, and most of the people who still live here are people of our age, and the young people are generally gone. Hu Zongren said with a smile that he is still living here, and he must be waiting for demolition.
The aunt also said unabashedly, isn't it, there have been several groups of developers before, but they have not been able to reach an agreement on the issue of compensation, and although we are close to Guanyin money here, it is convenient to travel, but after all, it is sandwiched in the middle, and it may be a little difficult to develop. I said to my aunt, how many families live here now? The aunt said, there are probably more than 100 households. I asked my aunt again, "Are all these houses inhabited now?"
At this time, several other aunts and aunts who were whispering under the tree also came over and talked to us. It is said that some of the houses here are generally rented out, and most of the remaining houses are old neighborhoods, and a few houses are empty. As soon as I heard someone say this, I quickly grasped this point and asked, is the empty house no longer there or what? The aunt said that some of them bought houses outside, and the houses here are idle, you see that our house is so old, even if no one comes to demolish it, I am afraid that there will be no way to live in a few years. I asked my aunt again, is this place the staff room of the former unit? The aunt shook her head and said no, this was originally a batch of houses built in the early 90s, when most of the entire Jiangbei District belonged to the countryside, there were a few factories and mines, and this area was not so prosperous before. The aunt smiled and said, we are just waiting for the developer to pay for the house, so that we can live in a new house again, hahaha.
She smiled heartily, as if they had never spent money on a house in their lives, but they had been "moved" several times in a row, and they were still living in a new house, and they were very happy. So I went on to ask her, what are the living conditions of the residents here, and are there many low-income households? The aunt thought about it and said that there are some low-income households, but there are not many, they are all people whose children are not around, and they are still very evil when they are old, so it is really not interesting to live at such an old age, and it has become a burden on their children when they are old. This aunt is very talkative, taking this opportunity, I pointed to the balcony of Wang Shoubi's old woman's house and said, that family seems to have been uninhabited for a long time, are there many people like you here?
This is a trick of deception, because when you ramp around a topic to what you really want to do, if there is something here that is hard to forget, the people around you will tell you exactly what you are talking about. I'm afraid you don't know carefully enough. I said this as if I was investigating how many of these households were, and the aunts would reveal something about 2-2 without even realizing it, and I could move on to the questions when I had the words. Sure enough, when I asked this, my aunt said, you said 2-2? I used to live with a mother-in-law, a lonely old woman, and she died in the middle of the year.
So I pretended to be surprised and said, what if this house is dead? Who owns the property? The aunt said that this mother-in-law Wang still has a baby, and it must belong to her baby! I continued to ask knowingly, didn't you just say that she was a lonely old woman? Why is there another baby at this time? The aunt said with a helpless face, this mother-in-law Wang made a miserable sin and worked hard to raise a baby, but her son went out to mix with others in the underworld a few years ago, went to prison, and was locked up for several years before being released, and then he didn't go to work seriously. A few years ago, when I knew that this place was about to be demolished, I came back to find Granny Wang every day, saying that I wanted to transfer the house to his name, and so on, didn't it just wait until his mother died, and the house would belong to him alone, his mother was such a child, who else could it belong to if it didn't belong to him.
I deliberately asked, are you biased, your own mother, will you be like this? The aunt stared, raised her voice to emphasize that what she said was true, she said, you still don't believe it, in the second half of last year, Granny Wang lost the key at home alone, locked in the house and couldn't get out, at that time she asked our neighbors for help, saying that they could help call her son to help open the door, but we called her son but said that he was busy and couldn't leave, so he asked us to give her mother a little food. The aunt snorted and said, busy? You're busy! I don't care about my mother, and it's not like I'm playing cards and drinking with those messy people all day long.
The aunt went on to say that when the door couldn't be opened, the neighbors were going to find a locksmith, but you have to tell Granny Wang herself to pick the lock, but she couldn't answer when she called Granny Wang, and heard Granny Wang's panting voice through the door. The aunt said that the old neighbors all knew that Granny Wang had asthma, and this kind of old man was prone to accidents if no one accompanied her, and everyone often took care of her on weekdays, but there was no way to watch her all day long. So we thought it was asthma, so we kicked the door open and took Granny Wang to the hospital, and when we got to the hospital, we called her son and said that his mother was hospitalized.
The aunt sighed and said, as a result, the neighbors saw that her son was here, and everyone planned to leave, but as soon as her son walked to the hospital bed, he began to scold Granny Wang, saying that you are not hospitalized early or late, but when I play cards, you will come to the hospital, and who will lose the money. The aunt said that at that time, a neighbor really couldn't see it, so they quarreled a few words, but a few days after Granny Wang was discharged from the hospital, the door of the liberation house was splashed with paint.
