The eldest sister-in-law, Liu Cuicui, was originally happy because her younger brother-in-law had moved out, and their child could now have his own room.
So as not to disturb the couple's business.
She wants to have a few more children.
So when she saw Li Dahui lock the door, she felt that her things had been violated.
Li Dahui looked at her and said, "This is my room, of course I locked it."
"But second brother, didn't you want to build a new house?"
Li Dahui nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Liu Cuicui secretly resented Li Dahui for pretending to be stupid, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Second brother, you already have your own house, but your nephew doesn't even have his own room yet, look..."
"Shut up!" Aunt Lin shouted sternly when she heard what Liu Cuicui said.
"This house belongs to Da Hui. We, the old couple, are not dead yet. When is it your turn to allocate it?"
Liu Cuicui's face flushed red, feeling embarrassed by her mother-in-law in front of her brother-in-law.
She was so angry that she blurted out what was on her mind.
"Mother! My second brother already has his own house, why does he still want to occupy the house in our family?"
"Because almost all the money for this house came from Da Hui!"
Liu Cuicui stared, mouth agape: "How...how could this be..."
Li Dali, Li Dahui's older brother, also heard the noise and came over.
Aunt Lin: "Since the eldest son is here too, I'll be frank with you all."
When this house was built, our family's work points were only worth a few dozen yuan. How could we have built four rooms like this?
I always thought you knew it in your heart, but were afraid that saying it would hurt our feelings. But it seems you don't really know.
This house was mostly built with money paid by your brother!
To build a house for your wedding, all the money your brother has worked so hard to earn over the years has been spent on this.
Li Dali wasn't unaware of these things; he just hadn't thought about them carefully.
He was always a submissive man, and after listening to his wife's words repeatedly, he also felt that his younger brother had gotten the better deal.
Now that his mother has exposed this shameful secret, he feels very embarrassed.
He lowered his head, unable to speak, and looked rather pitiful.
Aunt Lin was not soft-hearted at all: "I can understand that you want this room, but it belongs to Da Hui and can't be given to you for free. If you want it, you have to pay Da Hui to buy it!"
This was something that Aunt Lin and Li Dahui had discussed; he had built a house, so he really didn't need this room anymore.
But it was impossible to let him give up the room for nothing, so Aunt Lin asked him if he would be willing to let his older brother buy it.
Li Dahui agreed; after all, they were brothers, and he didn't want to ruin their relationship.
Before this matter could even be discussed, his sister-in-law started making a scene.
Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Liu Cuicui was unwilling; she wanted Li Dahui to simply give them the house.
But Li Dali wasn't that shameless. This house was originally built with money from his younger brother. How could he possibly have any face left if he asked the other party to give it up again?
So no matter how much Liu Cuicui hinted, he ignored it and directly agreed to spend money to buy Li Dahui's room.
Li Dahui neither agreed nor disagreed, but nodded: "As long as my brother and mother discuss it, I'll move out as soon as I get the money."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Li Dali knew that his younger brother was becoming estranged from him.
Once close brothers, now they've come to this. If he hadn't indulged his wife and constantly belittled his younger brother, things might have turned out differently...
Aunt Lin sighed. As parents, it's hard to see brothers growing apart.
But they couldn't stop it; the child had grown up and was no longer the child who would do whatever his parents said.
In the end, Li Dali spent 100 yuan to buy Li Dahui's house.
This was the price agreed upon by Li Dahui and Aunt Lin. After all, his elder brother was family, and he could understand his brother's difficulties, so he gave the house to Li Dali at this extremely low price.
Actually, if you really calculate it, you can't buy that house for less than two or three hundred.
The price was set at one hundred because Li Dahui knew his older brother could afford it, and also because he didn't want his sister-in-law to be too proud.
If she hadn't been so disruptive, Li Dahui really wouldn't have cared about the house; he could have simply given it to his older brother.
But relationships between people are reciprocal. Since they're going to hold a grudge against me, I won't be taken advantage of.
The matter was resolved smoothly in the end.
Li Dahui's house was built quickly, but the quality was very good.
Ou Manqing felt that this was a house they would live in for a long time, and they had enough savings, so they built a brick and tile house.
This is unique in the Lianhua Brigade.
Most houses nowadays are made of mud or stone, which has the advantage of using local materials and not requiring much cost.
Some families are better off and will build a house that is half brick and half mud, which is already considered quite good.
Therefore, the completion of Li Dahui's brick and tile house caused a sensation throughout the entire brigade.
Everyone was very interested and wanted to see what the house looked like.
Mr. and Mrs. Ou took charge of the overall situation and warmly welcomed the team members to come into their home and look around.
After all, my daughter and son-in-law will be living here in the future, so it will be easier to get along with everyone.
Their generous behavior made everyone in the group feel at ease.
If they had built such a nice house themselves, they wouldn't be willing to let these people go in and touch it everywhere.
Therefore, everyone felt that the Ou family was quite good, and that Li Dahui's encounter with them was a blessing in disguise.
Don't think that just because something happened to the Li family was happening quietly, they were unaware of it.
The brigade's "old ladies' intelligence station" is no joke.
They already knew that Li Dahui had sold his house to Li Dali for one hundred yuan.
Li Dali's wife felt she had been taken advantage of.
They are truly unaware of their own good fortune.
Having such a promising younger brother as Li Dahui, yet not appreciating him, and insisting on offending him completely.
That woman is so short-sighted.
The other members of the team didn't see it that way. They realized that Li Dahui was a promising person in the future, and they all planned to associate with him more and build a good relationship with him.
There was also an old lady who had watched Li Dahui grow up and felt sorry for him. She said, "Dahui, you shouldn't have done the house work so cheaply. His wife won't appreciate it."
Not only did she not appreciate it, she also felt that she had paid for it and was at a disadvantage.
Li Dahui knew his sister-in-law's personality and said indifferently, "Auntie, we're all family, it's nothing for me to suffer a little loss."
Upon hearing this, the elderly people in the village all nodded: "What a good child."
That's how the elderly are; no matter who's right or wrong, family ties are the most important thing.
Hearing Li Dahui say this, everyone felt that he had been wronged in order to maintain the brotherhood.
People's opinions of him have also improved.
Mr. Ou squinted at him and nodded inwardly. This son-in-law of his was quite interesting.
Lin Yu also came to see the new house. Standing next to Ou Manqing, she watched Li Dahui receive everyone's attention.
"Uncle Da Hui, you're quite cunning."
Of course, Ou Manqing knew that Li Dahui wasn't as honest as he seemed; otherwise, he wouldn't have succeeded in his previous life.
She smiled and said, "He's calculating, so he won't suffer too much of a loss."
