After washing her feet, she washed her face with well water and followed Lu Shishen back to the main room. Seeing that Lu Qingyuan and Lu Guozhi went back to the east room to sleep and Guan Ailian was in the kitchen again, she discussed with them in a low voice.

"Shi Shen, how about we pay to renovate our house and turn it into a small western-style building? This way, no matter if we come back or Ruoling comes back, we will have a place to live."

It is cheap to build a house in the countryside. A three or four-story villa only costs about three thousand yuan. For her now, a few thousand yuan is a small sum.

Lu Shishen's eyes are deep. Whenever he mentions things related to money, Yang Niannian's eyes light up. She seems to love money very much, but she is never stingy with the people around her.

It's so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

He raised his hand and rubbed the top of Yang Nian's head, his eyes full of heartache.

"It costs a lot of money to build a road, and then build a house for your family. Wouldn't you feel uneasy if you spent all the money?"

Yang Niannian once said that if she had no money, she would feel uneasy, and money is her confidence.

Yang Niannian grabbed his big hand and said with full energy.

"You don't care about our family's financial situation. This amount of money is nothing to our family."

"I also plan to buy myself a car and let Jiang Yang have one too. Master Qu and Feng Yi are factory directors and they often have to run business trips, so I'll give them each a car. They are the faces of the factory, and with a car, they'll look more stylish when they go out to talk business with others."

Of course, the car is under the name of the company, and Qu Xiangyou and Li Fengyi only have the right to use it.

Lu Shishen looked at her sparkling little face, and perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, but he felt a warmth in his chest.

He nodded and said in a hoarse voice.

"good."

After getting Lu Shishen's consent, Yang Niannian said happily.

"Then let's get up early tomorrow, go to the bank to withdraw money, and then go to the train station to catch the train."

She quietly squeezed his palm and continued, "Okay! It's getting late! You should go to bed early! I didn't sleep well yesterday and I'm a little sleepy."

Lu Shishen nodded and said "hmm", watched her enter the house, then turned back to the east room.

As soon as Yang Niannian entered the west room, she saw Ma Xiuzhu and her three children squeezed on a bed, snoring loudly in their sleep, occasionally accompanied by the sound of the children grinding their teeth.

There is no way I can get a good night's sleep today.

Outside.

Guan Ailian filled a bucket of hot water to take a bath. The weather was getting colder now, and she used to take a bath every two or three days. She had just taken a bath yesterday, so according to her usual habit, she didn't need to take a bath today.

Now I have to sleep with Yang Niannian, and I’m afraid of being disliked, so I prepare to take a shower before going to bed.

The water in the bucket was a little hot, so she wanted to go to the well to add some cool water. As a result, she saw the handkerchief in the trash can. She picked it up and saw that it was still good, so she talked to herself.

"Oh, mom, how come my sister-in-law's handkerchief fell into the trash can?"

He walked to the wall and took some soap nuts, squatted by the well and rubbed the handkerchief thoroughly. After it was clean, he hung it on the clothesline.

When she finished her shower and returned to the room, Yang Niannian had already fallen asleep. She slowly lay down on the edge of the bed, not daring to get close to Yang Niannian. She slept a little awkwardly that night.

The next day, before dawn, Guan Ailian got up and made breakfast. After everyone hurriedly ate something, Lu Guozhi pushed his bicycle under the eaves and prepared to go out.

Guan Ailian thought of something and took the handkerchief from the clothesline.

"Sister-in-law, I found a handkerchief in the trash can last night, so I picked it up and washed it for you. Now it's dry, you can take it with you!"

"..." Yang Niannian was stunned, "Sister-in-law, I used this handkerchief to wipe my feet last night. I don't want it anymore."

Without waiting for Guan Ailian to speak, Ma Xiuzhu snatched the handkerchief away.

"It's such a good handkerchief, it's a shame to throw it away? You young people just don't know the value of things. You don't want it but I do. It's used to wipe feet, not ass. Feet that don't touch ass or step on shit are cleaner than hands."

Yang Niannian's mouth twitched. She had already made it clear. Since her mother-in-law was reluctant to throw it away, then forget it.

Anyway, she said she used it to wipe her feet, so my mother-in-law would never use the handkerchief to wipe her face.

"Okay, keep it if you want!"

"It's almost half past six, let's go!" Lu Guozhi urged.

"Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, we'll be leaving now." Yang Niannian said a few polite words and followed Lu Shishen out the door.

Although it was early in the morning, some of the older people in the village had already gotten up. Some were busy sweeping the floors outside their homes. When they saw Yang Niannian and Lu Shishen, they greeted them warmly.

"You've only been back for one day, so why are you in such a hurry to leave? You finally came back, why don't you stay a few days?"

"Shi Shen is the most capable man in our village. He married a beautiful and educated wife, who brought honor to our Dayu Village."

Lu Guozhi dealt with the villagers with a smile and did not stop until he reached the entrance of the village.

When they arrived in the city, Lu Shishen and Lu Zhiyuan decided to go to the bank first. Lu Zhiyuan thought the couple didn't have much money on them, so he didn't think much about it.

Until Yang Niannian took out four thousand yuan from the bank and handed it to Lu Qingyuan.

"Brother, I have discussed with Shi Shen and we plan to renovate our house and build a small western-style building. This way, when Ruoling and I come back, we will have a place to live and you can live more comfortably. Xingxing and Tiantian are getting older, and it's not convenient for us to always squeeze into the same room with you."

"Here are four thousand dollars, which should be enough to build a house. If there is any left, you can use it as seed money for planting fruit trees."

"Don't worry about the road construction. Fruit trees won't bear fruit in a day or two. I'll go back to Beijing to make some plans, and then talk to the leaders here about the road construction next spring."

Lu Qingyuan was flattered. He never expected that his sister-in-law would give him several thousand dollars just because she asked.

He is in his forties, how can he have the nerve to keep asking his younger brother and his wife for money?

He waved his hands repeatedly.

"Shi Shen, sister-in-law, I can't accept this money. You have helped the family enough. How can I take so much money from you? How can I, as the eldest brother, take advantage of you all the time?"

"Brother, take the money and do what you need to do. This is Nian Nian's intention. She wants to help you." Lu Shishen had a serious look on his face, and he looked more like a big brother than Lu Qingyuan.

When Lu Qingyuan heard this, he was even more moved. He never expected that Yang Niannian, who had no blood relationship with him, could be so generous to him.

He was not good at speaking, and when he got excited, he didn't know what to say except for his red eyes.

Lu Guozhi was no less shocked than his eldest son at this moment. He knew that his younger daughter-in-law had made money by starting a business, but he didn't expect that she had made so much money and would be so generous to his eldest son.

Seeing that his youngest son and daughter-in-law sincerely wanted to give it, he, as a father, should also express his opinion and say something.

"Qingyuan, take this money! If you really feel that you owe Shi Shen and his wife something and can't bear it, wait until your fruit-growing business takes off and you make money, then pay them back. This will be considered as a loan to them."

Although he was more inclined towards his eldest son, he didn't want to let his younger son suffer all the time.
