Li Shugen had never been treated like this before. When he saw Niu Juxiang coming out to greet him, he felt a little flattered.
Then, before he could guess in his heart what good thing had happened, he heard the man speak.
"Old man, this is bad, it's over, something has happened to our family, if things go wrong, our whole family will have to leave!"
Li Shugen had a look of confusion on his face, and was still a little bewildered.
What happened? Why did I hear this news right after I got back? What on earth is going on?
Thinking of this, he asked.
"What's the matter? What happened? Look at you, you're so panicked. What's the big deal? Tell me, I want to hear what happened!"
Unexpectedly, Niu Juxiang didn't say anything and just looked at him cautiously.
Seeing her like this, Li Shugen became anxious and started to question her at the top of his voice.
"What happened? Just tell me. If there's something wrong, just tell me. If there's nothing wrong, then stop making such a fuss. You're giving me a headache!"
Li Shugen said this, and Niu Juxiang realized that she could no longer hide it. She first glanced at him, and then spoke cautiously.
"It's nothing. I don't know who was so nosy that he brought this to the attention of the captain. Now the captain has to investigate this matter. If he finds out the truth, I'm afraid our family will be expelled!"
Li Shugen looked at Niu Juxiang with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what she meant.
Moreover, he was really confused about what Niu Juxiang had done to cause such serious consequences that their family would be driven away.
Therefore, he looked at Niu Juxiang with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you mean by that? What on earth did you do?"
When he said the last sentence, his face was already cold.
Seeing him like this, Niu Juxiang was really frightened and started to explain tremblingly.
"It's not a big deal. I've seen more and more of our family members leave. Looking at our three houses, I've been thinking that there's not enough room for them. Should we quickly apply for a house and build a home for our children? But you know, our current conditions don't allow for that. What can I do in this situation?"
Li Shugen didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to what Niu Juxiang was going to say. He wanted to see what she could say. Their family didn't have such a big place, but that was no reason for her to do anything bad!
As he was thinking this, he heard Niu Juxiang speak.
"Well, the Gu family has relatives coming over, so why don't we all go and watch the fun!"
"And then? What's wrong with just watching the fun? Are you jealous of them? Do you think they're having a good life? Are you planning to harm them?"
Hearing him say this, Niu Juxiang shook her head repeatedly, "Old man, you're really wronging me. No matter how well they live, it has nothing to do with me. I just came home late that day, and that's how I overheard their relatives say they were going to take them away!"
"At the time, I thought, once they're gone, they'll definitely never come back, and that house will be ruined. It just so happens that our family needs to build a new one, so I thought, could I talk to the team leader and have them let us live in that house? At worst, we'll just have to pay them when the time comes."
"This way, we'll have a house and won't have to worry about where to live in the future. Do you think I'm right?"
Seeing that Li Shugen didn't say anything, Niu Juxiang continued, "Didn't they say before that Mr. Gu had returned from Beijing? You said they were leaving, so they must have gone back. Will they still be interested in our little place in the future?"
At the end of her speech, Niu Juxiang actually felt that what she thought was right, so she raised her voice unconsciously.
"Anyway, I think I'm right!"
Having said that, she put her hands on her hips and started complaining.
"I really don't understand. It's just such a small matter, why does the captain have to go to so much trouble to investigate? I really don't know what's so important to investigate!"
When she said this, she unconsciously raised her voice, not noticing that Li Shugen's face beside her had already turned completely black.
Just when she finished what she wanted to say and looked at Li Shugen triumphantly, she saw him glaring at her angrily, as if she had done something terribly wrong!
Immediately, she became annoyed and asked angrily.
"Why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong? Was it like that originally?"
Li Shugen was so angry when he saw that she thought she was right.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Say it again, what did you just say?"
Niu Juxiang spoke without any hesitation.
"Just say it, what's there to be afraid of? Isn't this the truth? You said, if they're all gone, it would be a waste if they don't live in the house. Then, it won't be a problem to just sell it to us!"
Seeing that she had not yet realized her mistake, Li Shugen was too lazy to care about her.
He just sighed, and then spoke softly.
"I don't know what's going on in your mind. We already have a house, why do you have to live in someone else's house?"
"Besides, we have hands and feet, why should we take advantage of this? What's the matter? Are you afraid that others will say something bad about you?"
At the end, his voice was almost like a roar, "Or do you think the house we built is not good, and that we are poor?"
Having said that, he sighed again before continuing.
"Old woman, the most important thing in life is to be content. Tell me, our family's conditions are not bad compared to others. Tell me, why do we have to take advantage of this and let others stab us in the back?"
Niu Juxiang touched her nose and didn't feel that she was wrong. "Isn't there a ready-made house? If it can be used, why should we go through all the trouble of building one ourselves? Don't you feel exhausted?"
Li Shugen's face turned dark when he heard her say this.
"So you were the one saying outside that the Gu family's grandparents were leaving? No wonder. I was wondering what everyone was discussing just now. Turns out it was you who started it!"
"If you do this, how will I be able to face Mr. Gu in person? Besides, if it weren't for the Gu family, who knows how many people in our team would have died!"
Niu Juxiang complained in her heart, "What does that have to do with me? I've never been treated well by their family. Now I just want to buy their house and live here. That shouldn't be too much, right?"
