"What's wrong?" Li Baotian stopped in his tracks.

"Well... I've made some money these past few days, so I'm thinking of building a big brick house for my family."

“Building a house? That’s great!” Li Baotian said with a smile. “Let me know when you’re building it, and I’ll get the whole village to come and help you.”

In the 1990s, building houses in rural areas didn't rely on construction teams.

Instead, they were relatives and neighbors.

No matter who wants to build a house, as long as they shout, all the able-bodied men in the village who are not working will come to help.

No wages are required; meals are provided daily, along with two packs of cigarettes.

Li Weidong is the richest man in the village. If he were to build a house, all the thousands of people in the village would be vying to come and help.

"Second Grandfather, you've misunderstood. I don't want to rebuild; I want to start a new house, so I'd like you to approve a plot of land for me."

"Homestead?"

Li Baotian paused for a moment, then immediately understood: "You brat, you're aiming for marriage? Which girl is so lucky?"

Was it the one who rode on your motorcycle this afternoon?

Which village is it from?

When are you getting married?

He fired off a barrage of questions like a machine gun.

Li Weidong hesitated, unsure of how to respond.

"Second Grandpa, you're being too nosy. I don't have a boyfriend yet; I'm just getting ready."

"Oh, I see..." Li Baotian was immediately disappointed: "I thought I could drink your wedding wine. Well then, you know the house plots in our village, just pick one."

"Pick whatever you like?" Li Weidong's face lit up with joy.

"According to the rules, we should draw lots, but since you're my grandson, I'll take advantage of my power this once."

"That's great! I remember there was a dilapidated temple behind our village that was demolished. Could I have that piece of land?"

“A dilapidated temple? That place isn’t suitable for growing crops, and the feng shui isn’t good either.” Li Baotian was reluctant to give the land to Li Weidong: “You can choose something else. I think there’s a nice one at the west end of the village, and it’s close to your house.”

"It's okay, I just want this piece, can you give it to me?" Li Weidong said very eagerly.

He chose this piece of land for a reason.

In his past life, after being dumped by Liu Xiaohong, Hu Zi couldn't recover for a long time.

He didn't get married until he was in his thirties.

Because they married late, all the good residential plots in the village had already been chosen.

He had no choice but to unluckily choose that dilapidated temple.

But who would have thought that a large jar of copper coins and silver dollars was buried beneath this dilapidated temple?

One of the coins was a mother coin, worth over three million.

Tiger became rich overnight because of this jar of silver coins. He bought a big villa in the city and lived a life of luxury.

The reason Li Weidong knew about this was...

It was when Tiger got drunk one time that he accidentally let it slip.

Now that he has been reborn, and this dilapidated temple is still unclaimed land, he must strike first.

"You really want this land?" Li Baotian looked at Li Weidong as if he were a fool.

Why would someone choose a perfectly good plot of land that is unsuitable for farming and has bad feng shui? Isn't that just being a fool?

"I really, really, really want it!" Li Weidong said with absolute certainty.

"Even if I wanted to, it wouldn't work... It's too late."

"What happened? You got chosen?" Li Weidong was so frightened that his face turned almost white.

"No, this place isn't suitable for farming or living, but it's perfect for growing mushrooms. Tiger rented it out. If you'd like, I can help you negotiate."

"No need, no need, I can handle it myself."

Li Weidong breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although Tiger rented that piece of land.

But growing mushrooms doesn't require digging, so he probably won't be able to find anything in the ground for a long time.

All I need to do is figure out a way to get my hands on that piece of land.

But what should we do?

"Weidong, if you ask me, that place is really not good. Why don't you pick a better one?"

"No need, no need, Second Grandfather, I'll figure something out myself."

"Okay, let me know if you need anything later. I'll head to the brigade office now..."

"good."

...

After seeing Li Baotian off, Li Weidong sat in the main room, thinking about how to get Hu Zi to obediently hand over the land.

Just then, the landline in the room rang.

"Weidong, I heard that Moutai prices have gone crazy in the market! You've made a fortune this time!!"

Zhang Bin's incredibly excited voice came through the phone.

“It’s not that I made a fortune, it’s that we made a fortune!” Li Weidong corrected him: “We agreed last time that it would be considered your investment.”

"You're really willing to spend that much?" Zhang Bin said sarcastically.

"Hey, who do you think you are? You lent me 20,000 yuan without batting an eye, so why wouldn't I share some of the profits with you? Stop arguing. Tomorrow is Sunday. Come to Xiaoyan Restaurant in Mengbei County and I'll give you the profits."

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you, but you have to tell me how much you made this time, right?" Zhang Bin asked curiously.

"Hehe, you'll see when you get here, it'll scare you to death!"

After saying that, Li Weidong didn't give him a chance to speak again and hung up the phone with a click.

...

The next day, Li Weidong rode his motorcycle and arrived at Xiaoyan Restaurant early in the morning.

At the cashier, Shen Xiaoyan heard a rumbling sound and knew that Li Weidong had arrived.

He went out to greet her with a big smile.
