"What's wrong? Why is your face pale? Did you sleep well last night?

"

nWhen Jiang Ruolan rushed back to the company in the evening, she found Xiong Ruogang, who had requested leave in the morning, sitting with a frustrated facial expression next to her computer.

nShe looked low-spirited. Jiang Ruolan walked towards her while looking at her anxiously.

nShe (Xiong Ruogang) sighed and raised her head to look at her(Jiang Ruolan).

"Sister Jiang, I have to move house and will be off for a week.

"

n

"Move? Didn't you live in the dorm?

"

n

"Yes, I should have lived in a dormitory, but because my parents' house will be demolished soon, I had to live with them in a new house on the outskirts of the city. If I stayed with them, I would have to spend at least an hour and a half on the bus to get to work every day.

"

n

"The real estate company suddenly ordered our family to leave the house. Now my parents have to rent a house and pay half a year rent directly for it. My family is not rich, how can they get that much money?

"

n

"The small amount of money they gave us was not enough to pay the rent a month! But the company said they gave according to requirements, but the problem was we didn't receive any profit!

"

n

"So, this is about money?

" Jiang Ruolan smiled.

"Even though I don't have a lot of money here, I might be able to lend you a half-year rent. I will go to the bank to withdraw some money tonight.

"

n

"No need, I barely managed to raise a lot of money and had to borrow some from the neighbors. The main problem now is that my parents didn't want to move out of the house.

" Xiong Ruogang sighed.

n

"The house belongs to our family and it's on the oldest street on the outskirts of H City near the city center. Most of the houses were abandoned during the late Qing Dynasty, although they were very old but full of memories of our priceless generation, especially my parents and neighbors. Recently they did not have a good feeling. I know they loved the house, due to the demolition order, no one can do anything about it.

"

n

"Late Qing Dynasty? You mean the alley at Bedford Street?

" Jiang Ruolan's eyelids twitched.

n

"Yes, that's it.

"

n

"I once went through the place and saw that the house was indeed quite old, but did not affect the living conditions of the people. Furthermore, I saw that the architectural style was also unique and had a long history behind it.

"

nXiong Ruogang raised her hand to scratch her small head, then pushed the glasses on her face. She said in a depressed tone,

"That's right, the house there is just as important as my parents' life. I heard that it was the Xiong Family's ancestral house, which is why my parents took good care of it. I really don't understand why the developer wanted to demolish the house there.

"

nJiang Ruolan raised her eyebrows.

"In the eyes of those developers, the only thing that matters is a piece of land, but I think that the lane on Bedford Street can be a unique tourist destination for our city.

"

n

"Although our city isn't a tourist city, it is still one of the most prosperous places in the country. If the unique and real Qing Dynasty street turned into a tourist attraction, it would be good for the city. Not only can it help the tourism industry, but it will also improve all aspects of the city.
