Chapter 37 Building a Control Group

Many people in the village are eyeing the village chief's land.

Shen Qingyue asked someone to measure the land, and soon the news spread throughout the village.

Zhou Jinbao left after measuring the land.

Before leaving, he said: It will take two months to build this house. If Shen Qingyue has completed the procedures for the homestead, it can be built as soon as possible.

The rainy season will begin in a few months.

It will rain every day and it will be inconvenient to build a house.

Shen Qingyue nodded and sent the people away. Fortunately, Liujia Village and Zhoujia Village were not far away, so it was convenient for their engineering team to come to Shen Qingyue's side!

Wait until the person leaves.

Now it’s time to deal with the homestead issue.

Shen Qingyue went to see the village chief.

The village chief had discussed this matter with Aunt Dahua before.

Instead of asking someone else to build the house, it would be better to let the Shen sisters do it. Anyway, after spending some time with them, I have a good impression of them!

The village chief quickly transferred the residential land to them.

Shen Qingyue said: "I will compensate you for this piece of land." Such a large piece of residential land in the village would cost at least two hundred yuan, and the location is not as good as this one!

Shen Qingyue liked this place and wanted to buy it.

The village chief was an open-minded person and said, "Just give me one hundred." The main purpose was to give an explanation to the villagers, otherwise the villagers would easily gossip.

Shen Qingyue didn't expect to be able to buy it at such a low price. A trace of gratitude suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Thank you."

The village chief said, "From now on we will be neighbors."

He had long seen that Shen Qingyue was no ordinary person. It had only been a short time since she started her business. Not only was her business flourishing, she had even started thinking about building a house!

Most men are not as decisive as she is.

Shen Qingyue got the bill for the homestead, folded it carefully, and put it cautiously in her pocket.

The village chief said, "Whoever you want to hire will do the work on your house. I can help you find a few people."

Shen Qingyue said, "I've already made up my mind. I'm Zhou Jinbao from Zhoujia Village. His family used to build houses for others, and now they've set up a construction team in the city, and they're taking on jobs everywhere."

When the village chief heard this, he said, "I've heard that the house is well built."

Many people in the village wanted to build a house, but none of them had such a deep pocket. The Shen sisters had no one to back them up, so their plans to build a house would easily draw envy.

When Shen Qingyue came out from the village chief, many people asked, "I just heard that you went to measure the homestead. What are you going to do?"

Shen Qingyue said: "We need to build a house."

"Who built it?" Everyone looked at each other.

Shen Qingyue said: "I'm with my sister."

Although everyone in the village thought Shen Qingyue was quite inspiring, they were still a little shocked when they heard this: "What? A little girl can build a house?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, building a house is no small matter, why don't you discuss it with your uncle and grandparents!"

"If no one takes charge, how can we build a house?"

Some people have their eyes on that place.

It's near the village chief's house. It's spacious and in a good location. "Now that the housing plot issue is settled, would the village chief be willing to give you such a nice place?"

Someone else said, "Listen to what your aunt says. The little girl will have a house once she gets married. You don't even have a boy, so why would you build a house? You might as well sell me this piece of land. My family just needs it."

Shen Qingyue went home without saying anything.

In the village, some nosy people went straight to the Shen family's old house and said, "Hey, did you know that Shen Qingyue bought the village chief's homestead and is going to build a house?"

Xu Xiuzhi just couldn't bear to hear Shen Qingyue's words. She wanted to jump up and down when she heard them. "She's building a house, what a joke!"

It's only three hundred yuan, and I heard it's a lot to buy rice, flour, and oil. Why build a house?

Third Aunt Liu Yu said, "You believe everything that child says. I even said I wanted to go to the provincial capital to buy a house. What kind of house can she build? It's like a child playing house!"

Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Xu Xiuzhi said, "That child is just giving us a hard time!"

The whole family didn't believe it at all. But Second Aunt Zeng Juhua frowned and said, "Mom, could it be that Shen Qingyue made some money?"

Xu Xiuzhi even wrinkled her nose: "Bah, don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Is money really that easy to make?"

Second Aunt Liu Yu's eyes rolled around: "Could it be that my eldest brother and his wife left money for the child when they passed away?"

Xu Xiuzhi said, "Impossible." The eldest wife was the most honest and had no intention of hiding money.

The people in the village didn't get to watch the fun, and they almost had a quarrel among themselves because of what Brother Shen said, so they quickly found an excuse to leave!

Zeng Juhua took one look at her mother-in-law's expression and couldn't help but say, "I think Shen Qingyue is slapping us in the face. Didn't we talk about building a house before? Now she's arranging it before it's built. How will these people in the village view us?"

Xu Xiuzhi was very concerned about her reputation. When she heard this, she immediately jumped up and said, "That's right. We can't let her look down on us. It's just building a house, so let's build it too."

Both Liu Yu and Zeng Juhua were quite happy.

But before they could be happy for long, Xu Xiuzhi said, "The second and third wives should each give 300 yuan. If there is any difference, I will take it."

Liu Yu was furious when she heard this: "Mom, where did I get three hundred yuan? You're trying to kill me! We haven't divided the family property, the money is all shared!"

Zeng Juhua didn't want to pay the money either, but she was more patient than Liu Yu. When something happened, she just let Liu Yu, the fool, rush forward.

Xu Xiuzhi said, "Don't pretend. You two are the most thoughtful people. Who doesn't have some private money? Besides, why would I, an old man like me, build such a nice house? I can live anywhere, but it's different for you. You have a son, who will be useful when he gets married in the future!"

Liu Yu said: "I really don't have any money."

Xu Xiuzhi said, "If you don't have it, go borrow from your parents. If that doesn't work, go get some money from somewhere else. Anyway, you have to come up with the money, so hurry up and don't let that damn girl get ahead. When Shen Qingyue finishes building the house, we'll see if you have the nerve to go out!"

This one sentence made the two of them look ashamed.

Zeng Juhua said, "I have to discuss this with my husband." Then she left.

Liu Yu also said: "Yes, I have to discuss it too."

Both of them left and came back at dinner time.

Zeng Juhua and her husband said, "Listen to Mom, let's build a house."

He has two sons who are eager to build a grand house for their wedding.

When the third wife saw that her second brother and sister-in-law agreed, she had to agree reluctantly and said, "Then we agree too. It's just that we have nowhere to get the money." Liu Yu muttered.

No one paid any attention to her. After a while, she felt bored and stopped talking.

Originally, the house could be built or not, but after being stimulated by Shen Qingyue, all the members of the Shen family agreed to put pressure on the eldest branch of the Shen family to build the house!
