"We can talk about Fu Wei's situation, then discuss it with Mom and Dad," Fu Yu said, bringing up another matter. "As for the expansion of Gumang Middle School, our family has no choice but to let the town acquire our land. Besides, this land acquisition is actually a good thing for Gumang."
"Yes, the land acquisition is inevitable, and we have no way to refuse," Fu Ying agreed. "The better Gumang Middle School becomes, the better our town will be. But we can change the land classification and increase the compensation amount. The highest level of land acquisition compensation is for demolishing residential buildings—meaning houses built on the land where people live. Households whose land is acquired this way are known as 'demolition households,' and a lot of people in Guangdong Province made their fortunes this way.
"However, that's very difficult for us to pull off. There are other people's graves in Big Graveyard, and the surrounding area is empty. That plot of land is so long and narrow that we couldn't possibly build such a long house or structure there; it would look completely absurd. Even though we want more land acquisition compensation money, we don't necessarily need to build a house just for the sake of it.
