"It's twice as big as this yard, with five bedrooms, a small pond in the backyard, and a small pavilion. The area is not small. The original owner of this house fled abroad, and the house and land deeds were given to us because of a lack of food. The only problem now is that we have to go to the Revolutionary Committee to get some connections."

"Will it be difficult?"

"No, I already had contacts in the black market. It's nothing more than a matter of going back and forth. It's not difficult. I'm going to find workers this afternoon to clean up a small area first. I'll officially start after the relationships there are sorted out. I estimate that this will take no more than one or two months."

"Then I'll accompany you to supervise the work," Nanqiao said excitedly.

"Okay, then we'll have the workers on site modify it to your liking."

"good"

"Then I'll go cook. You sit and watch. I'll call you when it's ready." Sheng Yanchuan looked at the time and said

Nanqiao nodded and continued to sit on the recliner and watch

After lunch, Nanqiao went to take a nap, while Sheng Yanchuan went to the small courtyard of the black market. He spent the whole afternoon in the courtyard dealing with matters there, and only rode his bike home in the evening.

When I returned to the village, it was already completely dark. When I walked to the gate of my own yard, the lights were brightly lit while my family members were supposed to be resting.

Sheng Yanchuan opened the courtyard door with some curiosity and looked at the family sitting in the main room. They all looked serious. Sheng Yanchuan was confused.

"Mom and Dad, why are you still awake so late?"

Aunt Xiumei's face brightened when she saw that it was her son who was asking, "Have you had dinner? If not, I'll leave some for you in the pot."

"I've eaten. What's wrong with you?" Sheng Yanchuan asked again.

"It's nothing, your sister-in-law made mom angry. Okay, mom and dad, let's go to bed. It's so late." Sheng Yanjun comforted both sides.

Aunt Xiumei glared at Sheng Yanjun and said, "Who can sleep like this?"

Uncle Sheng sat on the side, frowning and smoking his pipe.

"Huiping, apologize to mom, take Yaya back to sleep, and stop making trouble." Sheng Yanjun turned around and said to Huiping fiercely. It would be fine if they quarreled about this matter at home, but he really didn't have the face to do it in front of Sheng Yanchuan. He knew very well that he owed Sheng Yanchuan a lot, so how could he have the nerve to let his wife ask for more?

"I'm making a fuss? What am I making a fuss about? Isn't it for our little family? If we can move to the town, I can work as a temporary worker in the textile factory that my eldest brother introduced, and you can find another job in the town. Isn't it better for us to earn a few dozen yuan a month than what we have now?" Hui Ping said with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"You said it well. I have no objection to you going to work in town. It's your own choice. You can eat as much as you can. If you want to work in town and don't have a house to live in, you can rent one. But now you haven't settled anything yet, but you force us to find you a house in town. Both of you are registered in the village, how can I find one for you?" Aunt Xiumei stood up in anger and almost wanted to slap her in the face.

"Then... doesn't Yanchuan have a solution?" Huiping whispered

"Does Sheng Yanchuan owe you something? He has given you wives, provided you with good food and drink, and now he has to buy you a house. In the future, how about he help you raise your children? Why has Sheng Yanchuan done so much for you?" Aunt Xiumei was so angry that she stood up and pointed at the eldest couple of the Sheng family and cursed

Hui Ping confronted her husband, but seeing that he remained silent, she could only mutter to herself, "Well... we are all family, so if we can help, then that's good enough."

"Help? That sounds nice. Why don't you tell me what your family has done to help Sheng Yanchuan?"

"Mom, we don't have the ability now, so we can go to the town to earn money, so we can help Yanchuan..."

"Shut up! You know you don't have the ability. How can you be so confident to ask for a house?" Aunt Xiumei clutched her chest and argued with Huiping.

After a few words, Sheng Yanchuan also knew what was going on. Seeing his elder brother sitting there without saying a word, Sheng Yanchuan was also a little disappointed. This was a case of "more rice, more hatred" and "less kindness".

Seeing Aunt Xiumei's face flushed with anger, Sheng Yanchuan was worried that she would get hurt, so he comforted her, "Mom and Dad, it's okay, go back to the room and sleep first. It's so late, and if you make a fuss later, the neighbors next door will know."

Sheng Yanchuan said as he helped Aunt Xiumei back to the house.

Only Uncle Sheng and Sheng Yanjun were left.

"Don't mention this again. If you really have a good future, it's your ability to run the yard. But if you think it's unfair for you that Yan Chuan buys a house on his own since we haven't divided the family yet, then don't mention it. Just like your mother said, if you owe anything, it's you who owe Yan Chuan. There's no need for him to do so much for you."

"But Dad, we borrowed..." Sheng Yanjun argued unconvinced.

"Well, if you really don't agree, we'll go find the village chief to divide the family property tomorrow. You can take your share of the money and go wherever you want." After saying this, Uncle Sheng also put his arms behind his back and went back to the house, no longer caring about what the two people behind him said.

Aunt Xiumei and Sheng Yanchuan watched Uncle Sheng come in, and Aunt Xiumei then said, "I guess your sister-in-law heard what you told me last night. She was so upset early in the morning, and we quarreled for a while. We asked her to go to work in the morning, but she disappeared after working for less than half an hour. We searched for her for a long time before we found out that she had left the village. We thought she was so angry that she went back to her parents' home, so we ignored her."

"I don't know what she said to your brother when she came back this afternoon. She said that she could find a job for her in town and asked your brother to go with her. But she insisted on going to town to buy you a house. Tell me, how many serious employees in town live in dormitories? Why should two villagers buy a yard without any sign of anything? They just saw that you wanted to buy a yard in town to get married and were afraid that you would not be able to take advantage. Do you really think I don't know their little tricks?"
