"No need, Zhi, what you catch is yours; I have no objections," one of Tang Zhi's colleagues called out.
"That's right, Zhi, what you catch is yours. We were just thinking wrong earlier," another added.
"Exactly! Since the house is allocated, why should anyone spend money on it?" Everyone began to persuade Tang Zhi.
A few leaders felt a bit ashamed; for their own selfish reasons, they had drawn lots. This was something that couldn't be justified anywhere. If it had been someone else, there would have been a huge uproar.
It was all because of Gao Daming, the man who had stirred up trouble. If he hadn't caused a scene, they wouldn't have resorted to drawing lots.
The two leaders simultaneously blamed Gao Daming for the situation. With the leaders harboring resentment towards him, Gao Daming's days before retirement would not be easy.
"Thank you all for your kindness, but I still want to stick to my idea; I want to buy the house," Tang Zhi insisted.
Everyone looked at him as if he were foolish. In their minds, the factory's allocation of houses meant they were theirs entirely—there was no need to spend money to buy them.
Even Uncle Fang thought the same and joined in persuading Tang Zhi. "You really don't need to spend any money. Don't worry; since it's allocated to you, it's yours. No one will come after your house in the future."
"This incident was an accident; it won't happen again," he reassured.
"Yes, yes! Little Tang, this was just an accident. It's all Gao Daming's fault; if he hadn't caused a fuss, this wouldn't have happened." A small leader from the transport department chimed in.
"Thank you, Uncle and leaders. This is how I see it: I'll put some money down and have the ownership of the house written in my wife's name. I'm just a farmer; my wife didn't mind marrying me, so I want to provide her with some security."
"You all know that driving trucks is riskier than other jobs. I'm worried about the future." Although Tang Zhi didn't finish his sentence, everyone understood his meaning.
After hearing Tang Zhi's words, everyone fell silent.
Even if something did happen, the state wouldn't ignore it. Old Huang from our team had an accident, but his wife and children still live in their original house," one person said.
"That's right! Our team leaders are good people; they take care of families when accidents occur. There's absolutely no need to spend money on a house."
"Exactly! It's not like we have money to burn; if we can live for free, why spend?"
"Hey, why do you care so much? If he wants to spend money, let him spend it. When the money gets to the transport team's account, maybe we'll even get a share," someone else chimed in.
That's true; whether he spends money or not has nothing to do with us.
Tang Zhi ignored the others' comments and kept his eyes on the leaders.
Although Uncle Fang didn't understand why Tang Zhi was doing this, he knew him well enough to realize that Tang Zhi was calculating something in his mind, so he spoke up in support of him. "Director Chen, how about we go along with Tang Zhi on this? He was just scared by what happened earlier." Director Chen was the highest-ranking official present.
In fact, this matter wouldn't harm the transport team at all, and having money come into the transport department's account would be a good thing for everyone.
"Since Xiao Tang insists, let's do it this way. However, I need to go back and discuss it with the leaders," Director Chen said.
"Of course, of course," Uncle Fang replied.
A few days later, Ye Fangfei found herself the owner of a new property.
