Yu Changhe and Sun Fengshou asked around at the village entrance to find out the location of the Village Chief's house in Taohua Village, then drove to his house.
The Village Chief of Taohua Village was surnamed Qi, named Qi Baocang, an old man nearing sixty.
Yu Changhe took out the residence documents, explained their purpose, and Qi Lizheng immediately introduced him to two suitable plots of land for residence.
The two plots were one at the east end of the village, and one in the center of the village.
The center had a dilapidated thatched house. From the degree of decay in the collapsed wooden frame, it was clear the house had been collapsed for many years.
Qi Lizheng said that an old widow without children used to live there. As she grew older, she passed away some years back. After the house was left uninhabited, rainwater eroded it until it collapsed.
