Liu Zhi had to go to the fields to work every day, so Yang Xinghua was the only one at home to look after the house, and Yang Xinghua was the only one Peng Fang could bother with.
Yun Mo looked at the other person coldly, "Grandma is old. If she gets sick because of you, I will take her to the city to live! And my aunt too. I won't farm the land anymore and let her go to the city to take care of Qingning. At least there is no need to repair this road. Grandma and the others don't live in the village anymore, so why repair it?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers were no longer happy.
If the Huang family is really driven away by Peng Fang and refuses to pay for the road construction, what should they do? "Peng Fang, road construction is a big deal for the village and the town. If it is destroyed because of you, your whole family will suffer!
In the past, people like you who disrupted unity would be dragged to the police station to fight! And your Xiaowen, do you want to make him unable to go to college?"
Peng Fang is a typical bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. After being scolded by the village chief, he immediately stopped.
Huang Jianguo was also shocked by the village chief's words. His youngest son was their family's only hope and must not be implicated.
"Village chief, calm down. Peng Fang is just talking, she doesn't dare to do it."
The village chief pointed at Huang Jianguo's nose and said, "Jianguo, let me be frank. If the road construction is ruined by you two, you will be the sinners of the whole village. You will never have a good life in the rest of your life!"
"Peng Fang, Jianguo, I have lent you the money you wanted to borrow, and I have also agreed to help you find a school for your son who wants to repeat his studies. How has Yun Mo ever wronged you? It is outrageous that you are bullying me like this. From now on, without the permission of the village chief, you two are not allowed to go to the Huang family!"
"Yes, that's right. The whole village will supervise. If they dare to go, we will break their legs!"
For Peng Fang and Huang Jianguo, Huang Wen is their only hope.
But for the villagers, the road donated by the Huang family is also the hope of the whole village, and no one is allowed to destroy it.
More and more villagers gathered at Peng Fang's house. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him indignantly. Peng Fang finally got scared and shrank his head like a quail, not daring to say a word.
At this moment, Huang Wen came out.
"Mom, stop making trouble. I won't repeat the grade."
After saying that, without waiting for Peng Fang to respond, he turned around and bowed to the village chief and Yun Mo to apologize, "I'm sorry, I have caused trouble for the village. Please rest assured, I will watch over my mother and not let her go to grandma's house to make trouble."
"You can keep an eye on your mother for one day, but can you keep an eye on her for the rest of her life? When you go to college, who will keep an eye on your mother?"
"The couple is too shameless. They just want to take advantage of others every day. When Army Jian is not at home, the couple goes to the melon field of Army Jian and his wife every day to steal melons. Bah, shameless!"
Although many people in the village had stolen Liu Zhi's melons, most of them just secretly picked one or two and took them home to satisfy their cravings.
Unlike Peng Fang and his wife, who blatantly picked the fruits with baskets and sold them for money, they were just like bandits.
Of course, the villagers who brought this up were not necessarily sincerely standing up for Liu Zhi. Instead, they were more likely to be jealous and think, "Why can you take advantage of something I can't?"
But no matter what, Peng Fang and his wife have offended public anger, as if everyone can stand on the moral high ground and harshly criticize the couple.
In the end, under pressure from the village chief and villagers, Peng Fang had to publicly promise that he would never go to the Huang family to cause trouble, which calmed everyone's resentment.
Seeing that the problem was resolved, Yun Mo thanked the village chief and villagers, then turned around and prepared to go home.
The sun was high in the sky and it was so hot that she was sweating all over and felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Peng Fang shouted anxiously: "Yun Mo, you promised to lend my Xiaowen's college tuition, you can't go back on your word!"
I have to say that Peng Fang is really shameless. Even after such a mess, he did not forget to borrow money.
Yun Mo turned her head and looked at the other person. "We agreed before that as long as you help my aunt transport the watermelons from the field to the town, the loan will be easy to discuss."
Peng Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yun Mo was still willing to lend him money.
After a morning of commotion, things finally returned to the starting point.
However, after this incident, Peng Fang and Huang Jianguo’s reputation in the village was completely ruined.
Everyone in the village watched the couple as if they were thieves, fearing that they would cause trouble and ruin the road-building project.
Under the supervision of the whole village, the couple had no choice but to behave themselves.
Taking into account the Huang family's low-key and non-competitive character, Yun Mo designed the new courtyard to be very simple. The front is a two-story flat-roofed building, and the left and right sides are single-story bungalows, which are used as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, goose houses, chicken coops, dog houses, etc.
The yard is surrounded by a two-meter-high wall, and the top of the wall is inlaid with colorful broken glass, which is both beautiful and anti-theft.
Yun Mo not only drew the graphic design drawings for the construction, but also used gouache to draw highly realistic renderings.
When the Huang family saw the simple and beautiful two-story farmhouse in the realistic rendering, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
In a blink of an eye, a week passed and all the things that needed to be done were done. Yun Mo was ready to leave Lu'an and return to Jiang City.
Somehow, the news that she was leaving spread quickly in the village. That night, many villagers sent the Huang family fruits and vegetables that they had grown themselves, local chickens, ducks, geese, and various poultry eggs, almost filling up the Huang family's small yard.
The villagers brought gifts, some to apologize for stealing the Huang family's watermelons, and some to thank Yun Mo for her good deeds of investing money to open a bamboo weaving factory, donating money to build roads in the village, and leading the whole village to become rich.
In short, the whole village regarded Yun Mo as a lucky star.
Yun Mo did not refuse the villagers' kindness, but there were too many things and she could not take them all away. She could only pick out some that were easy to carry and divide the rest into small portions. After they left, she asked Huang Qingning to deliver them to the elderly people over 70 years old in the village.
In order to see Yun Mo and Zeng Fang off, Liu Zhi and Yang Xinghua specially prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Everyone was enjoying their meal when there was a knock on the door.
"Someone must be delivering something again. I'll go open the door."
Huang Qingning stood up as he spoke, and Yun Mo did not stop him. After dealing with the enthusiasm of the villagers for a whole day, she was indeed a little tired.
Seeing the people outside the door, Huang Qingning was a little puzzled, "Third brother, what's the matter with you coming here so late?"
"I'm looking for my cousin Yun Mo."
Huang Qingning's face suddenly turned sour when she heard that Huang Wen wanted to find Yun Mo. "You came to find your cousin. Does your second aunt know? Don't let her come to find your cousin again tomorrow to make trouble."
Huang Wen pursed his lips in embarrassment, "My mother went back to her parents' home."
In the main room, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet when Huang Wen came in with Huang Qingning.
Seeing Yang Xinghua and Liu Zhi both looking at her expression, Yun Mo chuckled helplessly, "Cousin Xiaowen, have you had dinner?"
Huang Wen glanced at the sumptuous meal on the table and his throat moved.
"have eaten."
Seeing Yun Mo took the initiative to greet Huang Wen, Liu Zhi also said, "Eat more. I'll get you some bowls and chopsticks."
