Responsible for the demolition of Caojia Street is the Baicheng Old City Reconstruction Company. After Li Qianhai and Feng Kai went back, they reported to Ma Zengxin, the head of the project department.

Ma Zengxin pondered for a while and said, "Caojia Street is a dilapidated shantytown, and most of the people's housing conditions are not very good. However, there are also a small number of households whose housing is relatively relaxed, and these people will certainly not be willing to determine the replacement area according to the population."

Li Qianhai and Feng Kai didn't dare to interject, and quietly waited for Ma Zengxin to say something. He paused and continued, "In this case, you go and talk to Geng Wenyang again, and say that we can determine the replacement area according to the method of halving the existing area."

Li Qianhai said: "Mr. Ma, how did you calculate this area. How can I explain what he wants to ask?"

"You just say it's the depreciation rate." Ma Zengxin said: "His house is not just built, how can it have been five, six, seven or eight years, it stands to reason that depreciation should be considered."

"Okay then." Li Qianhai said in his heart: "I'll talk to him again tomorrow."

Geng Huizhong and Li Yufen saw that their son had a fierce dispute with the people in the public family, and they also ran away from the family, so they worried about him.

Geng Huizhong persuaded: "Yangyang, as the old saying goes, your arms can't twist your thighs. The staff represents the meaning of the public, I think you should not be the top with others, let's suffer a little loss."

Li Yufen chimed in: "Yes! If you don't move, what will your father and I do if we arrest you?"

Geng Wenyang had to shout: "Dad, my house is at least 480 square meters, and they will exchange more than 60 square meters with me, do you think I can be willing?"

Geng Huizhong said: "If you don't want to, you have to be willing, some things are not up to us. Back then, our family had hundreds of acres of land outside the city, didn't they also give them when they said they would share them? We don't want to put it in any use?"

"Oh? Our family has hundreds of acres of land outside the city?" Geng Wenyang was taken aback, and said in his heart: "I, a descendant of a poor hired farmer, have become a little cub of the landlord's family after crossing over, which is a bit ridiculous, right?"

"That was before liberation." Geng Huizhong said proudly: "Xinjiadianzi Village in the north of the city, our family has more than 860 acres of land there, and there are two silk villages in Dongguan. Back then, our house was quite wide, otherwise we could have bought the west wing of the old banker's house?"

He recalled boasting, "Back then, your grandfather went to private school for eight years, and he spent a lot of money. When he went out, there were long-term workers who carried them on his back, and there were also small servants to help carry his schoolbag. You're welcome, your grandfather went all the way to school without his feet on the ground."

Geng Wenyang listened and said happily: "Dad, then the composition of our family is high enough, how can we be a landlord and capitalist, right?"

"No!" Geng Huizhong shook his head and said, "If our family is a landlord and a capitalist, can your uncles still go to serve as soldiers? It's impossible."

Geng Wenyang was even more puzzled: "How is this possible? As you just said, our family has hundreds of acres of land and two silk villages, isn't this a proper landlord and a capitalist? Will you be able to run after liberation?"

"We're really not." Geng Huizhong explained, "When the devil came, I had two cousins who went out of the city to be the Eighth Road. As a result, a Han girl found out, and this kid came to threaten your grandfather."

He sighed and said, "There is no way but to sell the silk village for money to seal his mouth."

Geng Wenyang was curious: "Isn't there another one after selling one?"

"Before liberation, in order to expand the shooting boundary on the city wall, I burned down the shop buildings below." Geng Huizhong sighed with emotion: "Your grandmother's father, that is, my grandfather, he also opened a Zhuangzi, and when he caught fire, he wanted to snatch more property from it, but the result was ...... Alas! In the end, I couldn't get out and burned inside."

"Huh!?" Geng Wenyang heard his father talk about this tragic past for the first time, and he was surprised for a long time before he said, "Isn't there more than 800 acres of land outside the city, if we count it like this, our family must be the landlord!"

"Where is there any land?" Geng Huizhong said: "When Baicheng was liberated, the land outside the city had already been divided for more than half a year, and even the ancestral cemetery of our old Geng family's more than 60 acres was dug up, and nothing was left for us."

"And what ingredient did you end up setting for our family?" Geng Wenyang said curiously: "It can't be a poor farmer, right?"

"Is there a poor peasant in the city?" Geng Huizhong said: "In the end, it is the urban poor who are destined for our family. Because the family really didn't have any financial resources, they had to rely on running a pawnshop to sell the things left by their ancestors, so that they could exchange money for food, and the whole family survived."

He then advised, "That's why I said don't fight with the public. If someone gets angry and confiscates your house, there's nothing we can do."

Geng Wenyang then understood why his father was so worried, it turned out that he was completely frightened by the previous events.

"Dad, you don't have to worry." Geng Wenyang comforted him and said, "Now that it is a society under the rule of law, my house has legal procedures, and the certificate issued by them can't be disrecognized by themselves, right?"

"I'm hanging!" Geng Huizhong persuaded bitterly: "As the saying goes, the county order that breaks the family is the order of the family, and the order of the door is Yin. People are officials, and we are ordinary people. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, how can you, a small common man, fight the public? I think it's better to forget it!"

Li Yufen was also worried that her son would offend the public family, and maybe he would be arrested one day, so she wiped her tears and said, "Yangyang, don't we want this house? They can give as much as they want, so let's not fight."

Geng Wenyang had no choice but to comfort the two of them and said, "Mom and Dad, you can relax, I will only strive for the greatest interests within the scope of the law. If they use their public power against me, will I throw in the towel?"

Geng Huizhong and his wife couldn't convince their son, so they had to sigh and shake their heads.

The next morning, Li Qianhai and Feng Kai found Geng Wenyang again.

Li Qianhai said: "Xiao Geng, after I go back, I will report your special situation to the leader. Our leaders are more reasonable, and considering that it is not easy to have such a large building, we have specially given you a special preferential policy to determine the replacement area according to the depreciation rate of 50 percent."

"Fifty percent?" Geng Wenyang chuckled and shook his head, "Fifty percent is too little, I won't agree."

Feng Kai saw that he refused to even agree to the 50% depreciation rate, so he immediately jumped out and said, "Geng Wenyang, don't toast or eat and drink. Promising you a 50 percent depreciation rate is already taking care of you, and you don't know what to do." new

Geng Wenyang smiled indifferently and said, "I know it's okay, I don't need you to remind me."

Li Qianhai hurriedly pressed Feng Kai and said, "Xiao Geng, how much do you want, you name it!"

Geng Wenyang stretched out his hand and said, "At least ninety percent, it's not good if it's less!"

Ninety percent of the more than 480 square meters must also have more than 430 square meters. According to the calculation of about 70 square meters of a set of relocated houses, Geng Wenyang can be replaced with six houses, and the whole family is not satisfied with one set.

"You're too greedy." Li Qianhai saw that there was a big gap between the two sides and there was basically no possibility of negotiation, so he immediately stood up and warned: "Xiao Geng, I advise you to accept it when you see it, otherwise the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and you will lose money in the end."
