Chapter 241 Both Rooms Are Rented Out



Chapter 241 Both Rooms Are Rented Out

When Zhu Jiajun heard Shen Nian's words, he subconsciously looked towards Shi Shengxia: "Shengxia..."

"You...what are you talking about! I just can't stand you taking advantage of your power to bully others!" Shi Shengxia shouted angrily.

Shen Nian nodded slightly after hearing this, with a hint of amusement in his tone: "Since everyone agrees that I am bullying others, then I have to do something to prove this reputation.

How about this: when the chicken farm distributes the money at the end of the year, Shi Zhiqing shouldn't participate? Everyone knows Shi Zhiqing doesn't need the money, so why not give it to families in need?

"You..." Shi Shengxia wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Nian.

Shen Nian saw that the person standing at the corner had turned and left, and then he continued slowly:

"You're all asking questions here, each one asking why Ye Zhiqing lives in this house. Why hasn't anyone asked Ye Zhiqing why she's allowed to live in this house?"

Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Gaoxuan's voice came from behind: "Jiaojiao! I caught a fish while fetching water!"

Everyone turned to look at him. Zhao Gaoxuan was visibly bewildered by the sight of so many people gathered there. But when he saw Ye Jiaojiao's aggrieved expression through the crowd, he quickly strode over.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" Zhao Gaoxuan asked anxiously.

Shen Nian couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Zhao Gaoxuan, where did you go just now? Leaving Jiaojiao alone to be besieged by such a group of people."

Zhao Gaoxuan's face changed when he heard this. He swept his gaze over the crowd, finally landing on Zhu Jiajun, who was standing at the front. "Zhu Jiajun, were you the leader? You brought so many educated youth to bully Ye Zhiqing?"

When Zhu Jiajun heard what Zhao Gaoxuan said, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Zhao Zhiqing, we didn't. We just wanted to ask why Ye Zhiqing moved into this house without our consent. We didn't bully her."

"Zhao Gaoxuan, he is lying! They didn't let me speak and just kept interrogating me. If Sister Nian hadn't come over, I would have fainted from fright!" Ye Jiaojiao pulled the corner of Zhao Gaoxuan's clothes and complained in a low voice.

Zhao Gaoxuan felt so distressed when he saw Ye Jiaojiao's aggrieved look that he raised his fist and punched Zhu Jiajun in the face.

"Everyone knows that Ye Zhiqing and I are dating. If you want to know anything, just ask me. Don't crowd around Ye Zhiqing like you're interrogating a criminal."

Zhu Jiajun staggered from the blow. Covering the corner of his mouth where he had been hit, he shouted in disbelief, "This house belongs to all the educated youth! What gives you the right to live in it?"

"That's right! If anyone wants to live there, it should be us! Ye Zhiqing already has a house, yet he still comes to compete with us for this one!" An educated youth echoed.

"It belongs to the educated youth? You are so shameless." Shen Nian sneered: "Since you all want to live in this house, why don't you ask the team leader what he plans to do with it?"

The educated youth looked at each other in bewilderment. It was their own house, so why should they ask the team leader? As long as they were sure Lin Yu and Hu Tingting wouldn't come back, they could just draw lots and divide it up among themselves.

As soon as Shen Nian saw their expressions, he could guess what was going on in their minds.

She turned and shouted at Zhao Gaoxuan, "Zhao Gaoxuan, tell them why you can live in this house."

Zhao Gaoxuan nodded and raised his voice, "I rented this house from the captain!"

"rental?"

The educated youths were all surprised when they heard this. They had obviously never imagined that this house was actually rented by Zhao Gaoxuan from the team leader.

"Yes, we rented it," Zhao Gaoxuan repeated firmly. "It was the captain who agreed to let us live in this house. If you have any complaints, you can go to the captain!"

"You...how could you do this!" Zhu Jiajun shouted indignantly, "This house should belong to all of us educated youth. How could you go and rent it from the team leader without permission?"

"Rented it privately?" Zhao Gaoxuan scoffed. "I went to the captain openly and paid the rent. If you have any complaints, you can go and argue with the captain instead of just standing here and making a fuss."

"Why don't you go to work? What are you all doing here?" The captain's voice suddenly rang out from outside the crowd, with a bit of majesty and displeasure.

The educated youth turned their heads and saw the team leader standing at the corner of the house in the front yard with a serious expression, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone.

The educated youth looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.

The captain approached, looked at Zhao Gaoxuan, and asked, "Comrade Zhao, tell me, what's going on?"

Zhao Gaoxuan straightened his back, the fish he had caught from the river still in his left hand. "Captain, this is what's going on. Zhiqing Zhu said these two rooms belong to the educated youth and are not under the control of the brigade. Now Zhiqing Ye wants to move in, but they're preventing him."

After a pause, Zhao Gaoxuan continued, "I explained to them that these two houses belonged to the brigade. But they seemed dissatisfied with this explanation, insisting that these houses had nothing to do with the brigade and should belong to the educated youth."

After hearing this, the captain frowned, turned his gaze towards Zhu Jiajun and the other educated youth, and asked sternly:

"Zhu Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, are you telling the truth? You both agree that this house belongs to you, not the brigade's property?"

Zhu Jiajun's face changed slightly, but he still said stubbornly, "Captain, we just feel that since the educated youth paid for the construction of this house, it should belong to us, and the allocation should be decided by us ourselves."

At this moment, Shen Nian noticed that someone was staring at her. She looked up towards the source of the gaze and saw several unfamiliar faces standing at the corner of the front yard, staring in their direction.

Ye Jiaojiao had obviously noticed those people. She moved closer to Shen Nian and asked in a low voice, "Sister Nian, could those be the newly arrived educated youth?"

Shen Nian nodded slightly and replied in a low voice: "That should be it."

"What? One of these two rooms is rented to Zhao Zhiqing and the other is rented to Shen Zhiqing?" Zhu Jiajun shouted unwillingly.

"Zhu Zhiqing, do you have any more questions? Before each educated youth built a house, we signed a document that clearly stated that if the educated youth who built the house returned to the city, the house they built would belong to the brigade.

This is all clearly written in black and white. Do you still think there's anything wrong with me renting this house to Shen and Zhao Zhiqing?" The captain looked at Zhu Jiajun seriously, his tone full of unquestionable authority.

Zhu Jiajun was choked by the captain's words and was speechless for a moment, his face becoming even uglier.

He originally thought that once Hu Tingting and Lin Yu left, the house would belong to them. When the time came to draw lots, he could do some tricks and occupy at least one of the two houses.

Unexpectedly, the team leader rented out the house in advance, disrupting his plans.
