The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

As soon as Jia Zhangshi cast her summoning spell, Zhou Xiuying seemed to choke instantly, and the expression on her face was as if she had eaten excrement.

Nowadays, although we talk about opposing feudal superstitions, people still dare not completely disbelieve in these things.

In addition, Jia Zhangshi's status as an orphan and widow was indeed true.

Therefore, the entire compound almost only required Jia Zhangshi to perform the summoning spell.

There's something we can't do about it.

However, this is, after all, a major issue involving housing.

So, while using the summoning spell, Jia Zhangshi was also chanting in an exaggerated tone.

"Hurry up and open the gates of hell at dawn! Old Jia, Old Jia, come back quickly and help me take this heartless Liu family man away."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong's expression darkened.

Despite his desire to save face and his reluctance to make trouble, he was unwilling to give up the house. So, he put on a leader's air, coughed, and looked at Jia Zhangshi in a deep voice before speaking.

"Jia Zhangshi, that's enough. You think you can just take over all of the He family's houses? Let me tell you, it's impossible. Even if you bring Old Jia Zhen back today, it's impossible for your family to take over the He family's three houses."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia frowned, her expression becoming increasingly harsh. She stood up and pointed at Liu Haizhong, saying...

"Well, you bastard, you even dared to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw the Jia and Liu families arguing at the Jia family's door. He immediately understood their plan, his face darkened, and he walked over to interrupt Jia Zhangshi.

"Auntie, that's enough. You can't just take over three rooms from someone else. There are so many neighbors in this compound who are short of housing."

"If you keep waking them up like this, they might go to the military control commission, and then it's uncertain whether your Jia family will even get a house."

This caused Jia Zhangshi to swallow her words of greeting.

That's right. Although he had never recognized the summoning spell, he knew the circumstances under which it would happen. They were all trivial matters that people were unwilling to bother with.

But when it comes to something as important as property ownership, if we really wake up these beastly neighbors...

If things escalate, the Jia family might not be able to get a house, since the military control commission wouldn't say much to her.

When Yi Zhonghai, the backer of the Jia family, came out, Liu Haizhong's expression softened a bit. Although he also disliked Yi Zhonghai, he didn't care about anything else.

Compared to the old hag Jia Zhangshi, he preferred to talk to Yi Zhonghai, at least Yi Zhonghai could reason with him.

But at that moment, another voice rang out.

"Hey, Lao Yi, Lao Liu, up so early?"

It was unclear how long Yan Fugui had been watching the show, but he coughed and walked out leisurely.

This caused Liu Haizhong's face to darken.

He knew the other party well and knew that it was impossible for the salt and alkali cabinet to be so coincidental. The only possibility was that they had been watching in advance. Did Jia Zhangshi hear the old woman's inquiries about her?

This was unacceptable to him, who was concerned about his image and wanted to become an official.

As more and more people gathered, Jia Zhangshi fell silent and, together with her eldest son Jia Dongxu, looked toward their patron, Yi Zhonghai.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he wasn't surprised to see the corner of his eye bulge out. He just glanced at the other person and then slowly said.

"My relationship with Daqing is not bad. Now that he has left the house, I know that everyone is in trouble. How about this, Dongxu is getting married soon, the Jia family will take the main house, and Lao Liu and Lao Yan will take the side house. Each family will contribute 300,000 yuan, and I will send it to Daqing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong had no objection. After all, buying a side room for 300,000 yuan was obviously a great bargain. However, Yan Fugui frowned slightly.

To him, asking him for money was like trying to cut flesh off his body with a knife.

However, He Daqing's relationship with Yi Zhonghai is indeed better.

"Forget it, I'll just tell Yan Jiecheng that it cost 600,000."

After thinking about how to scheme against his son one more time, Yan Fugui's expression softened.

After that, the two families briefly left and went back inside to collect the money.

Madam Jia Zhang couldn't help but mutter to herself at this moment.

"Only one room."

This made Yi Zhonghai's face turn ugly, and he looked at Jia Zhangshi and explained in an unhappy tone.

"Auntie, this is the main house, and your family didn't spend a single penny, so you should be content."

At this moment, Jia Dongxu, a mama's boy, stepped forward to comfort his mentor, Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, my mom just said it casually. You know, she didn't mean any harm. She's just really worried about me."

With the Jia family mother and son working together, Yi Zhonghai's expression finally improved.

Afterwards, the Yan and Liu families also handed over 300,000 yuan to Yi Zhonghai.

Immediately afterwards, the three families began preparations in earnest, moving their belongings inside.

As time went on, other neighbors got up and, seeing that the three families had occupied the house, immediately started arguing amongst themselves.

"What are you doing?!"

"Yes, why should these three families be allowed to occupy this house?"

The three families have not yet received support from the major project, and their so-called prestige is naturally insignificant in the face of the enormous temptation of the houses.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward again and spoke to his beastly neighbors.

"Gentlemen, I have a good relationship with the Qing Dynasty, and I have already received payment for this house, which will be sent to the Qing Dynasty later."

At this point, the neighboring beasts, though envious, could only remain silent.

There was no other way; at least publicly, He Daqing's relationship with Yi Zhonghai was the best.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of entrusting their son and daughter to the other party.

Just as the three families were about to continue moving their luggage, a stern voice suddenly rang out.

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky! What are you doing?!"

This loud shout drew everyone's attention.

The man glanced at the doorway and saw a young boy carrying a large bundle on his back.

He was none other than Cao Wei.

He had no idea that he would witness such a good show when he first arrived at No. 95 compound.

These beastly neighbors almost managed to scheme against him; no wonder the courtyard is full of beasts.

The first to step forward was none other than Jia Zhangshi.

There was nothing she could do. Although she knew it was unlikely that she could occupy three rooms, she was still a little annoyed that she had only occupied one. Being suddenly scolded like this naturally made her unhappy. So, with her hands on her hips and a mean look on her face, she shouted angrily.

"Where did this little beast with a whole family die come from? He dares to act so arrogantly in our compound, everyone…"

Before she could finish speaking, Jia Zhangshi was met with a crisp, resounding slap.
