Chapter 187: Damn It, Bringing a Thousand People to Cause Trouble? (Seeking Monthly Votes)

---

"Are you paying now or in a few days?" The young man wiped the rain from his face and smoothed his shaved head. Since he had shaved it, he found it surprisingly convenient.

Jing's father hesitated. "We still need to discuss this matter at home." Jing Shu sneered from the side. "Keep acting, and I'll see the true colors of these people."

Director Zhang stopped the young man again. "Don't rush them; at least give them some time to think. But whether you pay early or late, you have to pay the fee. If you pay in a few days, it's based on... well, occupying two hundred square meters."

"Regarding the payment, you must issue a receipt as proof, right?" Jing's father finally asked.

"Of course we will. Look, the internal documents already have policies requiring self-built houses to pay fees. By then, your documents will also show payments for illegal constructions and self-built houses," the young man explained.

Although Jing's father felt it was a bit expensive, the regulations were clear. It couldn't be fake, right?

Director Zhang smiled patiently, thinking that if he received an extra 100 virtual coins each month, with everyone getting a share and two people under him giving ten percent, the rest would be just enough to marry a daughter-in-law. It wouldn't be tight anymore.

Jing Shu saw that the show was over and stopped waiting for her father to hesitate. She stood up and said, "Dad, let's wait until the official fee collection in a few days before paying."

"Hey, you ungrateful girl, in a few days you'll have to pay 200 virtual coins per month," the young man became anxious.

"Heh, paying 200? If you have the ability, go ahead and tear them down," Jing Shu scoffed. These men had no concept of virtual coins and money, and couldn't bargain. If Jing's mother knew they had to pay 200 virtual coins, she would be furious.

"You think I really don't dare to tear them down? Wait and see, I'll find someone to tear them down cleanly," another young man responded arrogantly.

Jing Shu rolled her eyes. "I didn't want to expose you guys. You're just housing allocators and distribution directors, assigning everyone where to live. Indeed, some people are asking you to allocate good places."

"But what authority and qualification do you have to collect virtual coins? Don't think I don't know. The country first opened up the trading system for a group of officials as a trial run. These overbearing clowns are trying to replace the state in collecting money?"

"Trial, trial run?" Jing's father, also from the livestock farm, actually didn't know anything.

Jing Shu covered her face. As a prophet, she felt a bit helpless, like knowing the principles of magic and then watching a magician perform tricks. At this point, you're not watching magic but watching a magician seriously deceiving and acting. A thought flashed through her mind:

"Expressions are still a bit off. There's still a loophole here. If they fix it, it would be even better."

Jing Shu nodded. "Yes, they only opened the trading system in big data for people with certain official positions as a trial run. It won't be long before it's open to everyone. According to internal information, in the future, unfinished mortgages can be paid through big data automatically."

Upon hearing this, the three were exposed; one of them knew the business and were extremely ashamed and angry. Director Zhang's face stiffened as he tried to sound tough but was actually timid.

"Even so, if you build houses in public areas, you still have to pay virtual coins. Do you think you can escape?"

Jing Shu was also angered to the point of laughing. "I've never seen such shamelessness. You guys are managing the allocation for Banana Community, right? Inside the community, if you say it's illegal construction, then it is. The state says 1 virtual coin per square meter, we pay. As for the back hill, haha, can you manage that? Or else you go sue us?"

"Sue? The courts are all overwhelmed now. The criminal courts don't handle cases anymore; people are directly taken by police officers to serve as free labor."

"So what, if I have the ability to build a house in a deserted area, you just go sue the police officers to come and arrest me."

"Meanwhile, building a coal house in the community must follow the rules. Coal houses naturally should be built next to villas; otherwise, the fuel resources would be very valuable. If built in the back hill, people might pry the coal transport houses away."

Jing's father opened his mouth in surprise. Sometimes he was puzzled why everything that wasn't their daughter's messages always seemed to be known by them as parents. At this moment, he realized:

"So, you mean paying 4 virtual coins per month for the coal house is enough?"

Jing Shu nodded. "They can't reach the back hill." Well, consider that she has a lot of internal information; after all, it's already been said.

Jing's father gritted his teeth in anger. He never expected these government officials would dare to rip him off. "Aren't they afraid that we'll report them by doing this?"

"Do you think paying 100 virtual coins and thinking you're getting a good deal will lead to them talking nonsense? Of course they won't talk, and the state has stipulated that 1 virtual coin per square meter is paid to the local government. But because the management is rather chaotic, they have set their own collections without crossing the line. So even if you find out and decide not to pay, they have no way to deal with it."

In the second year of the apocalypse, many such things happened. There were also government officials who took opportunistic shortcuts. They do have a certain amount of power in housing allocation.

Director Zhang was completely dumbfounded. How could someone know the inner workings so well? "Come, come, come, you take this position."

"Fine, originally you weren't in charge but you have to manage now, right? You still want to collect more of my virtual coins? Today I'll make you manage properly! Damn it, I've been carefully hiding my 100 coins of private savings all my life, and you guys want to steal it?"

Jing's father, with his sheep-like temperament, instantly transformed into a raging bull. He raised his fist, as big as a sandbag, and started swinging. With one punch, saliva flew; two punches, teeth were flying; with three punches, "you can't recognize your parents anymore"; four punches, he covered his head and fled.

Jing's father also has his vulnerable spot. Whoever dares to try to steal his private savings is hitting the tender flesh of his heart.

Which man doesn't hide some private savings? If the wife takes it, they feel like a deflated balloon, feeling life has no hope, not to mention being cheated and having it stolen.

Jing Shu let out a hiss; it looked so satisfying. The spiritual spring is really good; look how she transformed her dad into this little hot-tempered bull.

The three were no match for Jing's father. At first, they threatened, "Wait for me, I'll find someone," but later they were crying "wuwuwu." The two young men ultimately ran away with Director Zhang.

"Sigh, it seems my virtual coins haven't even warmed up yet, and they're already being paid to your mom," Jing's father said resentfully.

If only the trading system never opened, sometimes just looking at the numbers is a kind of happiness.

Regarding offending the corrupt distribution director, if you offend them, you offend them. They really have nothing against Jing Shu's family. But for such unscrupulous people, Jing Shu usually resolves it civilly.

That is, remove them from their positions, then let them watch her family live well... Jing Shu just likes the look when you clearly hate me to death, yet watch me live happily, and are helpless against me.

"I should be the big villain, right??"

It's now January 5, 2024, 4 PM, temperature 36°C. For Jing Shu, it's been an extremely complicated and long day.

Jing Shu looked at the bustling crowd at the villa's entrance and murmured, "Damn it, can you really bring a thousand people here to cause trouble? What's going on?"
