In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...
Chapter 185 Buying land?
Chu Xuan was just about to nod in agreement and put it into practice.
Chu Feng's crisp voice rang out from outside the door, "Da Leng and Er Leng, my gate is not locked, my sister is at home, you two can go back and report!"
Chu Xuan hurriedly pushed Mu Chenze lightly, but Mu Chenze reluctantly let her go.
Arrange her clothes.
As soon as he let go of his hand, the gate was pushed open.
Chu Feng greeted them casually, "Brother-in-law, sister, you two are here. Just got back, right? Why are you standing in the yard? Come inside and sit and chat! I'm going to wash the fruit. You weren't here at noon, and the forest farm happened to be selling apples, so I bought five pounds. Many people from our village went to buy them. Those who came late didn't get a chance to buy them."
Put down your schoolbag and go to the kitchen to wash the apples.
Chu Xuan let out a long sigh. Xiao Feng probably didn’t see them hugging each other.
I was secretly glad that Mu Chenze spoke in a low voice just now, otherwise Xiao Feng would have heard it.
Mu Chenze didn't show any guilty conscience. Instead, he looked regretful. "If only Xiaofeng had come back a few minutes later!"
Chu Xuan jokingly asked, "How do you know I will agree to your request?"
Mu Chenze's heart was pounding, but he spoke firmly, "I just know. Oh, by the way, I heard a lot of people went to the village chief to ask for land to build houses, and they're all vying for the land around your yard. The village chief is in a dilemma. I also want my parents to buy a piece of land here and build two yards, one for me and one for my eldest brother. Then when the time comes, my parents can live with whichever one they choose. The most important thing is that it's just across the wall from here, so it'll be convenient for you to go back to your parents' home."
Chu Xuan was touched, knowing that Mu Chenze was planning for her and Xiao Feng.
After they get married, Xiao Feng will not be able to live with her in the Mu family.
In this way, Xiaofeng is the only one here.
She was indeed a little worried.
"Will your family agree? Besides, we may not be able to get the land."
"With Grandpa Wang here, I'm sure I can get it. The key is how to convince my family. I'll go back and discuss it."
Mu Chenze turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by Chu Xuan.
"You promised me that you would never make your parents angry because of me. If they don't agree, you are not allowed to be angry with them. We will work it out in the long run."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Then Mu Chenze whispered something to Chu Xuan again, mainly telling her how to get the 6,000 yuan in front of Xiao Feng.
After listening to this, Chu Xuan nodded in agreement.
Mu Chenze shouted towards the kitchen, "Xiao Feng, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You and your sister can come to my house for dinner tonight!"
Xiao Feng ran out quickly, stuffed two apples into his hands, and then let him go.
Chu Xuan planned to talk to his younger brother about booking a boat.
I know exactly how much money our family has.
But she didn't know that Mu Chenze had put his private money in her hands.
Mu Chenze had told Chu Xuan not to mention to anyone that he paid for the boat. In order to get the money out of the way, Chu Xuan had to follow Mu Chenze's advice and lie to his younger brother.
"Little brother, there's something I want to tell you. Didn't we go boat-watching today? I was planning to spend three or four thousand on a big wooden boat as my dowry, but on the way there, I needed to go to the toilet. There weren't any nearby, so I went to the woods. Guess what I found?"
In those days, there were few outhouses, so when people went out, they would go to the woods to relieve themselves.
Chu Feng looked curious, "Could it be possible that he found gold?"
"That's right! I found a gold nugget. Your brother Chenze accompanied me to the city to find a place to sell it, and I got 6,000 yuan. So I gritted my teeth and ordered a 10,000 yuan iron-powered fishing boat as a dowry. You won't blame me, right?"
Chu Xuan felt guilty. It was really unpleasant to lie.
He didn't show it on his face, but instead looked very pleased with himself.
Chu Feng was very excited. "Of course not. Sister, you are so lucky! 6,000 yuan! You earned so much in one day! All our family's assets are earned by you. Bring more dowry so that you will have confidence when you go to your husband's family."
"Xiao Feng, don't worry. Even if I get married, I will still raise you to adulthood."
"Of course I'm relieved. My brother-in-law told me a long time ago that after we get married, he and you will raise me together, and I will be his real brother in the future. He also let me live in his house. However, I told him that I will not live with you in the future. I will still live here."
Chu Xuan finally understood why Mu Chenze was so determined to buy land here.
It turned out that he and Xiaofeng had already talked about it.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Xuan..."
It was Liu Zhaodi's voice.
Chu Xuan and his sister shouted towards the door almost at the same time, "Come in!"
He warmly invited Liu Zhaodi to the main room to talk.
Chu Feng cut a plate of apples and handed one to Liu Zhaodi.
Liu Zhaodi took it and put it back on the plate.
"Eat later. Sister Xuan, Xiaofeng, I came here to pay back the money."
Chu Feng's eyes widened. "Zhao Di, you're so amazing! You've earned enough in just a few months?"
Chu Xuan's face remained calm, as he guessed that it definitely wasn't earned by Zhaodi.
Liu Zhaodi explained with a smile, "Uncle Ren helped my dad apply for secondary compensation from his former employer. It was five thousand yuan in total. Just enough to pay off the debt. Here's 1,500 yuan, Xiaofeng, count it."
As he spoke, he took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng took it. No matter how close the person was, whenever money was involved, it had to be counted in person.
Count them quickly.
1500 yuan, confirmed.
Liu Zhaodi washed her hands in the yard, then returned to the main hall. While eating an apple, she said, "When my mother needed money for surgery, besides my grandmother's relatives, your family, Aunt Qin's family, and Grandma Wang's family all lent me money. I, Liu Zhaodi, will never forget your kindness in this life. If you need me and my family in any way in the future, just let me know."
I thought eating apples could help me control my tears.
In fact, when you are emotional, nothing you eat will help.
After Liu Zhaodi swallowed the apple in one bite, she lay down in Chu Xuan's arms and cried.
Chu Feng looked distressed, but didn't know what to say.
Chu Xuan gently patted Liu Zhaodi's back and comforted her, "After crying for a while, don't think about the hard times in the past. Look forward! The days ahead will get better and better!"
Liu Zhaodi sobbed and nodded to show her agreement.
After crying, I went to the yard to wash my face and felt refreshed instantly.
Chu Xuan chatted with her, "Zhao Di, how is your fried meatball business?"
"It's pretty good. Every day, I supply Grandma Wang's shop with 50 kilograms of produce, and my mom sells about 20 kilograms in town. She makes a net profit of 1 cent per kilogram, which makes her 7 yuan a day. That's more than a factory worker's salary. My mom also asked Grandpa Wang to help see if I can go to school this month. Luckily, I study the first-grade curriculum with my two younger brothers every night, so I should be able to keep up."
Both Chu Xuan and her brother were happy for Liu Zhaodi.
In her previous life, after Mou Xing passed away, Liu Zhaodi still didn't go to school, even with Ren Shumin's help. She was fulfilling her obligations as an older sister who was like a mother.
In this life, Mou Xing survived and was able to earn money to support his family, and Liu Zhaodi also had the opportunity to go to school.
Chu Xuan never expected that his rebirth would change the fate of Mou Xing and Liu Zhaodi.
At this moment, Mu Chenze was discussing the purchase of land with Qin Mahua at home. "Mom, the area near Xiaoxuan's house is definitely a good place for feng shui. It's convenient for fishing, and they even catch all kinds of fish during typhoons. Should we buy a piece of land there too?"
