Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Director Wu comforted, "Don’t be so worked up. The allocation of houses has always been carefully considered based on the individual circumstances of each family. Dr. Wang’s family indeed needs this house more than you do. The six of them are all crammed into one room, and their younger son has even been sleeping under the bed for two years now ..."

Liu Qing interrupted him angrily, retorting, "Who asked them to have so many children? Other families have one, but they insist on breeding like a sow, having a whole litter. Why should my family make a sacrifice and accommodate them just because they have more children?"

Isn’t that unreasonable?

Listening to Liu Qing’s harsh words, Director Wu’s face darkened. Nonetheless, he explained patiently, "Those children were born before the family planning policy came into effect, so it’s not overpopulation. The decision to allocate the house to them wasn’t made by me alone. Your son is still young, so bear with it for a few more years until the next batch of houses arrives! I promise there will definitely be one for your family next time."

He had intended to reassure Liu Qing, but hearing his words only infuriated her more. "Director Wu, that’s not right of you. I came to you in trust and yet you lie to me. Who doesn’t know that this is the last time houses are being allocated? If we don’t get one this time, there won’t be any left in the future. The houses on the market now are so expensive that we can’t afford one even if we work all our lives. We certainly can’t have my son, his wife, and their all family all squeezed into this shabby house in the future, right?

"..." Director Wu was rendered speechless by Liu Qing’s words. He hadn’t expected her to know about this. He looked up and saw Si Chen had returned, and quickly changed the subject: "I didn’t make the decision to allocate the house to Dr. Wang alone. You should learn from Dr. Si. He and his wife didn’t get a house either, but they didn’t make a fuss."

"Are they the same?" Liu Qing didn’t notice Si Chen and his wife approaching and spat her words fiercely at Director Wu. "How long has he been in the hospital? Besides, they own several milk tea shops and have made a lot of dirty money through speculation. They can afford to buy houses, but how can honest people like us compete with them? If I had that kind of money, would I be standing here asking you for a house?"

I initially thought Tongyao only owned one milk tea shop, but then I heard from others in the community that Tongyao owns several chain stores and makes tens of times more than Dr. Si’s salary. With so much money, she could buy a house anywhere. Of course, she wouldn’t want a house allocated by the hospital.
