At the main gate, Li Xiuying jumped up and down, cursing.

In the courtyard, Old Guo sat on the ground, spouting traditional Chinese poetry.

The conflict escalated, and the two sides argued so fiercely in most of the brigade's courtyard that they almost came to blows. Fortunately, a burly man was there to keep watch, preventing any physical altercation from occurring.

In this situation, I am delighted to see it succeed.

Lu Guohua ignored their dogfight and walked up to Ye Yun and Qin Zheng. With a serious expression, he said earnestly, "Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng's wife, I know neither of you are the type to cause trouble, but things still need to be resolved. Why don't you two discuss it and see what to do?"

"Zhengzi, your uncle has watched you grow up, don't make things difficult for him."

Hearing him say that, Qin Zheng couldn't refuse him any longer. After pondering for two seconds, he finally turned his questioning gaze to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun scoffed, "Why are you looking at me? I wasn't the one driving the excavator to demolish their house."

A look of embarrassment crossed Qin Zheng's face. He scratched the back of his head and then took her hand in a conciliatory manner. "Wife, I'll listen to you. What do you suggest we do now?"

Listen to her.

Why listen to her?

Ye Yun glanced at him with a forced smile, a slight smirk playing on her lips. "Qin Zheng, weren't you quite imposing when you were tearing down the house?"

"Sigh, it's all thanks to my wife's good teaching." Qin Zheng didn't catch her sarcastic tone at all. He slapped his thigh foolishly, looked at her with bright, sincere eyes, and held her hand, saying, "Wife, you said I shouldn't fight with anyone, and I've kept that in mind. I haven't laid a finger on them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had a good time!"

"..."

Well, you didn't lift a finger, and you've made their whole family homeless.

However, Qin Zheng did not do anything wrong.

The Guo family went too far. They are heartless, so don't blame Qin Zheng for being unjust. They deserve what they got for making things this way.

Ye Yun glanced down at Qin Zheng's hand holding hers, then grasped it back, interlacing her fingers with his. She looked up at Lü Guohua with a smile, "Uncle Lü, there should be other vacant houses in the brigade, right?"

Lu Guohua didn't know what she was planning to do, so he nodded honestly, "There are two households."

That solves it.

Ye Yun glanced at the Guo family, who were still arguing with Li Xiuying, and smiled faintly, "Since there are vacant houses, let the Guo family move in."

"this……"

Lu Guohua was surprised by her words and looked troubled. He turned to look at the other elders.

The elders all shook their heads.

"inappropriate."

“The empty houses in the brigade belong to the village collective. We have no right to allocate them, and there is no reason for us to let Lao Guo’s family move in privately.”

"Yes, if we let the Guo family move in, the other villagers will make a fuss. The Li family also came to me asking for a house before. Their second son is getting married, and the girl said she wants a separate courtyard, otherwise she won't get married. I didn't give him any!"

"What's this? The Gao family came to me with wine not long ago. All three of their sons are married, and they have a bunch of grandchildren. The older kids even sleep in the kitchen shed. Even so, I didn't dare to give them the houses in the team. If I gave them to the Guo family, Old Li would probably kill me with a knife."

"That's right, that's right, we can't give it to them."

After discussing it for a while, the elders shook their heads and waved their hands, giving their reasons for refusing in a reasonable and well-founded manner.

Lu Guohua then turned to look at Ye Yun.

He shrugged, indicating that he was powerless to help.

Ye Yun chuckled and waved her hand, "Uncles and elders are overthinking it. Who said we were going to give the house to the Guo family? We're just letting them stay here temporarily."

ah?

Lu Guohua and several other respected elders were taken aback when they heard her say that.

Ye Yun nodded in confirmation.

If they were given houses, wouldn't all of Qin Zheng's demolition work have been for nothing?

Lu Guohua took a deep breath, then suddenly realized, "Oh, how come I didn't think of that..."

The elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

“However…” Lu Guohua’s expression hardened. He glanced at the Guo family, who were sitting on the ground crying and making a scene, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes. “Qin’s wife, I’m still worried. You know what kind of people the Guo family is. What if they refuse to leave when we let them move into the brigade’s house? Although the brigade’s house isn’t very good, greed is insatiable!”

If they stay in the brigade's house after their old house is rebuilt, wouldn't the Guo family have two houses?

When the Guo family has two houses, the other villagers will probably cause trouble with the brigade.

Ye Yun waved her hand, "This is easy to handle. First, appease them and tell them they can stay in the brigade's houses."

Lu Guohua nodded. "Okay."

"But if they want to stay, they have to sign a written agreement in advance with a deadline, requiring them to build their own houses within a certain period of time, otherwise they will be kicked out of the brigade. This is a guarantee for the brigade, to prevent them from defaulting on their debts and refusing to move out."

"That's a good option."

Upon hearing this, Lü Guohua immediately took out a pen and notebook from his pocket and wrote it down.

Ye Yun continued, "The written agreement we just signed is also to urge them to rebuild their old houses as soon as possible. Once their old houses are rebuilt, Uncle Lü, you should supervise them as they move in. If they refuse to move in one trip, or if they want both sides, you should take their rebuilt old houses to the brigade."

"Huh?" Lu Guohua's eyes lit up, and he quickly wrote it down, saying happily, "This is good, this is great!"

Between the new house and the old house in the production brigade, the Guo family naturally knew which to choose.

If they don't move, then the old houses they rebuilt will have to be given to the production team. The production team will actually make a profit by exchanging their old houses for new ones!

Ye Yun reminded him, "Uncle Lü, remember to write this condition into the written agreement as well."

"Absolutely."

Lu Guohua quickly jotted it down, then looked up and asked, "Qin Zheng's wife, how long do you think it's appropriate for the Guo family to stay in the brigade's house?"

Time.

Ye Yun thought for a moment, "A month, I guess."

These days, when building a house, in addition to professional construction teams and experienced workers, relatives and friends will also help by bringing bricks. A month is enough time to build a new house. If a month is not enough, then it can only mean that the Guo family has very poor interpersonal relationships.

Lu Guohua turned around and went to find Old Guo.

Of course, he didn't forget to talk to Old Guo about letting Li Xiuying go home.

Even if he didn't say it, Old Guo probably knew in his heart that if he hadn't kicked Li Xiuying out, the house probably wouldn't have been demolished by Qin Zheng. If he hadn't invited Li Xiuying back, the next house to be demolished would probably be his old bones.

"Wife, you're so good..."

A man's low, honest voice sounded beside her. Ye Yun lowered her eyes and saw Qin Zheng squatting down beside her, his hands on her legs, his head tilted back, and a pair of dark eyes under his thick eyebrows looking at her with the sincerity of a loyal dog.

Ye Yun paused slightly, then, as if possessed, reached out a hand and ruffled the top of his head.

His hair was black and stiff, a little prickly at first touch, but smoothed out when fingertips passed through it. It was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, just like his temperament.

Qin Zheng leaned his head against her lap, letting her gently rub his head.

So good...
