In fact, she was not short of money. She borrowed 20,000 yuan, paid 10,000 yuan in rent, and had 10,000 yuan left. She also had a few hundred yuan in change on hand. After paying for the water pipes, she only had the 10,000 yuan left.
But she still had to build a house, and at five yuan per square meter, it would cost her fifteen hundred yuan to build a 300-square-meter house.
She will save the rest for other things and not spend it recklessly, otherwise she will be anxious when business opportunities come but she has no money.
Don’t buy things that are not essential.
A large tractor dragged hundreds of meters of water pipes to Xiangnan's house, and people from the village came to watch the fun again.
You won’t know until you see it. It’s shocking. Xiangnan is going to build a house, and the red brick house will be equipped with running water like the one in the county town!
Where is it built?
"Isn't the land behind her house wasteland? How can she just occupy it and build a house?"
"Go ask the village chief. This is collective land and she can't just build on it."
Xiangnan directed Zhang Dalei and others to help remove the water pipe.
Since so many water pipes can't fit in the house, they can only be placed in the fenced area where chickens are raised, but those fences can't stop people from stealing the water pipes.
Xiangnan said to Zhang Dalei, "I'll buy these materials for you, and I'll find the installers. You don't have to worry about the water and electricity, just build the house.
But Brother Dalei, you have to help me find someone to look after these materials, including all the materials for building the house. It would be best if you find someone who specializes in looking after the materials and stays next to them at night."
"Well, I'll go back and ask them tonight."
Zhang Dalei has someone in his family who is willing to earn the money by looking at the materials. He has two younger brothers and his father.
"Uncle Zhang doesn't have anything to do tonight, so ask him if he's willing."
Everyone wanted to work on the house being built in the south, and the three Zhang brothers had already been arranged to do it. However, Zhang Changfu was old, and neither Zhang Dalei nor Aunt Zhou wanted him to do the hard labor.
You can arrange a job to guard the materials, which is not tiring. You just have to sleep next to the materials at night, but it is not far away, just a few steps away.
If someone shouted that something was being stolen, Xiangnan and the others would all get up and rush over.
Li Lanjiang soon heard about Xiangnan's situation. She frowned and asked, "Why did she build a house on the village's land? Her family didn't get that piece of land."
Aunt Yang pounded her back with her backhand and said, "That's not her land, it belongs to our village.
But I heard that the village chief agreed. Sister Lan Jiang, you should ask the village chief why he agreed to let Xiangnan build a house on the village’s land.
If everyone were to build houses everywhere like her, it would be disgraceful.”
Li Lanjiang got angry instantly. What was wrong with Zhang Ming? He knew that they and Xiangnan were not on good terms, but he still approved the land for her to build a house.
"That's not his decision alone. The land belongs to the village. It's not something the village chief can give to anyone he wants. Go ask who else in the village disagrees. Call them all and go find him."
Li Lanjiang was filled with hatred. This bitch Xiangnan had cheated her out of her money and dumped her husband Zhang Hao, and now she was using the money to build a house!
That's her money!
She must not be able to build the house.
Aunt Yang now hates Xiangnan very much. She is like a stingy person. If you give her a few pieces of cake, she will cheat her chicken.
Such a stingy woman can only marry a 30-year-old man. Who would marry her!
She's simply a shrew.
Aunt Yang quickly called over several women from the Zhang family. Her husband Zhang Cai had four or five brothers, plus some relatives and cousins, so there were seven or eight of them in total.
And those relatives of Feng Mingli's family, who had to return the cake last time, also hated Xiangnan in their hearts.
It was just a piece of cake, but she acted like someone was bullying her.
"Xiangnan is using our Murakami land to build a house. She's going to start construction tomorrow. Let's go together tomorrow to ask for an explanation. She can't occupy Murakami's land."
"Yes, that's right. Why should she be able to use Murakami's land? If it was approved by the village chief, then the village chief should pay for it!"
"I'm afraid Zhang Ming was bribed by that little bitch Xiangnan with a few pieces of braised pork."
"Sister Lan Jiang, why is your elder brother still helping outsiders when he knows that your Zhang Hao was dumped by her?"
After Li Lanjiang returned home, she became angrier and angrier. She wanted to go with them tomorrow too. What right did she have against Xiangnan, that damn bitch!
It was her blessing that Zhang Hao from their family liked her. If she dumped Zhang Hao from their family, she would live a life worse than pigs and dogs. Who allowed her to build a house!
Li Lanjiang was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night and woke up early the next morning.
Xiangnan's family started laying the foundation today, and Xiangnan also woke up early. Huode's foot has been injured for half a month, and a military doctor will come to remove the plaster for him today.
In fact, Xiangnan can also remove the plaster, but he still needs a military doctor to make a specific diagnosis to see if he can get out of bed and walk.
It just so happens that the foundation work started today, and a military doctor came to visit, so we made a good meal together.
There are chickens, ducks, fish and meat in the refrigerator. It’s no problem to ask Aunt Zhou and Aunt Sun to help cook two tables of meals.
There is no food provided when building a house facing south, so everyone goes back home to eat. Zhang Dalei invited people from the village who often went out with him to build houses.
Around seven o'clock, everyone who needed to work arrived. Xiangnan took out the firecrackers he had bought yesterday and asked Huo Yun to light them, which meant that the work had officially started.
The area behind has always been wasteland, and a lot of weeds grew wildly in the spring, so we had to pull them out first.
Zhang Dalei and his team are very capable people, and they can pull out the weeds in a large area very quickly.
Xiangnan didn't understand what was going on at the base, so she went home to cook something delicious and wait for the military doctor to come. But when the military doctor from other families came, she was not at home.
They came all the way here to see Huo De for treatment, so she had to treat them well.
She returned to the kitchen and was about to make some glutinous rice with braised pork. Just as she was done with the glutinous rice, Li Mo rushed in: "Xiangnan, something's happened. Go check it out! Yang Shengli has brought a group of people to stop the construction of the house."
Xiangnan said calmly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll wash my hands first."
She washed her hands, dried them, and walked slowly to the place where the house was being built.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We have all the necessary paperwork. The village chief has approved the land, and the town approved it. We are developing the rural economy, and no one can stop us."
Li Mo was so anxious that her face turned pale. "This group of shameless people, if they really start making trouble, there's nothing we can do about them. They've ruined such a happy event like building a house."
Xiangnan smiled and calmed her down: "It's okay, it's really not a big deal."
The reason they are making trouble is simply because they can't stand seeing her making money and building houses, and they can't stand seeing her doing well.
At most, they can share some of the benefits with others, and no one will join in to watch them make trouble.
When Xiangnan arrived, Zhang Dalei and the other women were already arguing: "What are you doing? If you dare to take the materials, I'll report you to the police immediately!"
Aunt Yang pouted and said, "This is our village land. If you occupy it, I will report it to the police. These are all dirty things!"
Aunt Yang bent down to pick up the water pipe as she spoke. One pipe was worth a chicken to her family. If she took a few more, she would have chickens.
The other aunts also agreed: "Yes, all these dirty things must be confiscated."
