Chapter 424 Gu Family’s Land
When I returned to the Dalaozi Production Brigade, as soon as I entered the house, I was greeted by the fragrant aroma of rice.
"You're back. Drink it while it's hot. I made it!" When Yan Shaoli saw Gu Yuehuai and Bai Mei, he hurriedly asked them to sit down. He had a smile on his face and his hands didn't stop while he talked. He served the porridge to the two of them, and his tone was full of pride.
"Okay, you know how to cook porridge?" Gu Yuehuai took off his coat and took a sip of the hot rice porridge from the edge of the bowl.
She gave Yan Shaoli an encouraging look. When she came to the Dalaozi Production Team, she didn't know how to do anything. Now that she could learn to make porridge, it was considered an improvement. She looked around and asked, "Where's Shaotang?"
Yan Shaoli pointed to the inner room and chuckled: "My second brother is fine now, so there will be no problem in taking care of Shaotang."
Gu Yuehuai nodded without saying anything more. He picked up the pickles that Yan Shaoli had fished out and drank the porridge mouthful by mouthful.
Gu Tinghuai went into the inner room and looked around. After coming out, he was a little confused: "Where are Dad and the third child? Where did they go?"
"Oh, they went to the Party Secretary's office and said they wanted to discuss building a house and asked him to allocate the land behind the house so that we can build the house." Yan Shaoli finished speaking and whispered, "They took a basket of eggs with them."
When rural teams do business, they always bring some gifts to the door. Brown sugar and eggs are hard currency and are the easiest way to smooth over personal relationships.
Gu Yuehuai half-closed his eyes, put the rice porridge on the table, and said, "I'll go take a look."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to speak, he grabbed his clothes and went out.
When she arrived at Wang Fu's house, the yard was dark and everyone should be asleep, so she turned and went to the breeding area.
There was a light on in the breeding area, but there were a lot of voices in the room, and it was obvious that there were more than just Gu Zhifeng and Wang Fu.
"Secretary, you have to investigate Gu Zhifeng's family. What's going on? Others can't even get enough food, but his family is doing fine and wants to build a new house? We can't give them this land. It belongs to our brigade. We can't give them a penny!"
Just as Gu Yuehuai walked to the door and was about to knock, he heard a sharp female voice coming from inside.
The voice sounded familiar. It was not someone else's, but Lei Dahua, Chen Yuesheng's mother who was already in jail.
Gu Yuehuai's face was cold and the corners of her lips were tight. She knew that something must have gone wrong since he hadn't come back for such a long time.
In this era, the control of homesteads is very loose. After all, the economy is backward and many families cannot afford to build houses. Who cares about that little bit? You just need to tell the branch secretary, and the branch secretary will arrange the address for building a house according to the situation. It is very convenient.
Lei Dahua has become a little crazy since her husband and son were both imprisoned and her daughter married a fool from the neighboring brigade.
However, Lei Dachui was very kind to his younger sister. After Chen Yin got married, he took her to live in Huangying Commune. I don't know why she suddenly came back today and caused trouble for the Gu family.
"Beep, beep, beep..." Gu Yuehuai knocked on the door. There was silence for a moment before someone said, "Come in."
Gu Yuehuai pushed the door open and walked in. She looked at the people in the room, raised her eyebrows in surprise. She really didn't expect that there was not only Lei Dahua, the obstacle, but also Chen Yuesheng in the room. When did he come out of prison?
"Nannan? It's so cold outside, why are you here?" Gu Zhifeng looked at Gu Yuehuai with dissatisfaction, her eyes full of heartache.
Gu Xihuai also sighed, took off his coat and put it on Gu Yuehuai, and whispered in her ear: "Chen Yuesheng behaved well in prison, and with the guarantee of Lei Dachui and Brigade Secretary Fan Gen, he was released early."
Gu Yuehuai's eyelashes trembled slightly and he hummed softly.
Chen Yuesheng and his father were originally imprisoned for corruption and bribery, but the real executor must be Chen Kang. Chen Yuesheng was at best a small fry responsible for carrying out the task. He only needed to smooth things over and it would be easy to get out.
After all, the officialdom nowadays only looks at the benefits and not the charges, so it was not in vain that Lei Dahua married Chen Yin to that fool Liu Daze.
Gu Yuehuai's appearance made Chen Yuesheng, who was already feeling shivering, even more uncomfortable, and his head almost dropped to his chest.
He didn't expect that he would run into the person he least wanted to run into on the first day after being released from prison. This situation was really embarrassing.
Lei Dahua also glanced at Gu Yuehuai and deliberately stood in front of Chen Yuesheng, fearing that he would be dazzled again.
Gu Yuehuai was too lazy to look at her, and said to Wang Fu in a calm tone: "Secretary, if I remember correctly, the wasteland behind the house was originally the land of our Gu family's ancestral home. It's just that we didn't have the money to build a mansion at that time, so it was left empty. Now there's nothing wrong with us building a house there again, right?"
Wang Fu tapped his pipe and nodded, "Yes, that land originally belonged to your Gu family, there's nothing to say about it."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lei Dahua and said, "The brigade doesn't need to allocate that land to the Gu family. It originally belonged to them. Okay, I'll take care of the sale of the house for you. If you don't have anything else to do, go back first. I still have things to do here."
Lei Dahua glared, somewhat unconvinced. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Yuesheng tugged at her sleeve.
It would have been fine if he didn't pull her clothes, but when he pulled her clothes, Lei Dahua's heart was set on fire, and she said sternly: "What are you doing? Why are you pulling me? Are you still soft-hearted towards this girl? Chen Yuesheng, wake up, she doesn't like you anymore!"
In her opinion, Gu Yuehuai is a jinx who brings bad luck to anyone who meets him.
She had a good son, who was well-known in the surrounding area for his excellence and a model worker family. His future life would surely be better, but what about now? He was in jail, and when he came out, he was a criminal with a criminal record!
Look at that face again, he is so thin that he looks like skin and bones. I don’t know how much he has suffered in prison. And the child’s father... He is so old, I don’t know how he is doing now. If he doesn’t exchange money to continue to smooth over relationships, he might be in death row!
Thinking of this, tears welled up in Lei Dahua's eyes and his look was full of hatred. Life was like this, what hope was there?
Lei Dahua's voice echoed in the office. Chen Yuesheng's face turned pale, but he still couldn't help but look up at Gu Yuehuai. However, he saw that her face was calm, not moved by these words at all, and extremely indifferent.
Chen Yuesheng's expression twisted, and he grabbed Lei Dahua's wrist and left.
When passing by Gu Yuehuai, his footsteps paused slightly, then he quickened his pace and walked away. Looking at his back, one actually felt as if he was fleeing in panic. The young man who was once full of vigor and vitality had completely changed into a different person.
Gu Xihuai snorted coldly, looking down upon Chen Yuesheng's behavior. He was just pretending but not showing off.
Gu Zhifeng shook his head with deep emotion. He had liked this young man very much at first. What a pity.
Gu Yuehuai didn't care about Chen Yuesheng. After the strangers left, she looked at Wang Fu with a smile and said, "Secretary, you just said that there is no need to mark out the land. We can build a house on that land. You won't regret it now, right?"
Wang Fu's eyebrows relaxed and he said unhappily, "Why regret it? It was originally your Gu family's land."
