Lan Qingshuang patted Ye Zhoushan, whose face was dark, and said, "It's okay. It's better to lose money than to suffer a disaster."
Ye Zhoushan was silent for a while, and then said, "I thought, since I already owe a lot of debts, I might as well owe more, so that no one will always be concerned about these things at home."
Lan Qingshuang was puzzled: "Why?"
"I thought we should rebuild our house."
Lan Qingshuang gasped in shock: "Are you crazy? Can a house be built just by saying it?"
Ye Zhoushan smiled and patted Lan Qingshuang on the shoulder: "Wife, think about it, everyone knows that we saved the leader."
"He's a big boss now, he certainly won't be stingy and just give me some things to help pay the medical expenses, thinking that I have money in my hands."
"If we say we don't have it, they won't believe us and will keep trying to get us to tell us something."
"Look at Wu Yong, is he coming here just because he smells the scent?"
"He got a taste of the sweetness today. He will come every now and then. He won't stop until he squeezes us dry."
"I might as well go out and borrow some more. Actions speak louder than words. People will always believe me more."
"Even if they don't believe it, seeing how much debt we owe outside, they won't feel comfortable asking for it, and we'll have more reasons to refuse."
"We have all the reasons and excuses for building our house. You've suffered twice in a row just because we live in a remote place."
"To avoid accidents like that from happening again, it makes sense for me to move to a different place."
"Besides, I'm really scared, wife. If anything happens to you and Fuman, how will I live?"
Lan Qingshuang sighed, she was afraid too.
"But is it possible? Who can lend it to me? This is no small matter."
Ye Zhoushan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can do it. Leave it to me."
Facing his daughter's big black eyes, Ye Zhoushan asked with a smile: "Daughter, is it okay? Dad will build a big house for Fuman later, okay?"
“Ahhh…”
[Okay, Fuman and mother will live in the big house, and stinky daddy won’t live there.]
"Pfft..." Lan Qingshuang laughed so hard that tears came out.
Ye Zhoushan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. She was really his good daughter.
You want to tear down the bridge before you even cross the river.
Ye Zhoushan was a man of action. He decided to build a house and went to Zhao Qianjin in the afternoon to allocate a residential plot.
Zhao Qianjin didn't know whether to agree or not with Ye Zhoushan's idea of building a house.
When they live their lives as farmers, all they want is to have no debts owed to others and to have some surplus at home. They don't need to be rich, just a simple life is enough.
Someone like Ye Zhoushan would never have the idea of borrowing money and things to build a house.
But the Ye family had accidents again and again, so it was really unsafe to live there.
"How about I find you an old house in the center of the village and rent it out temporarily. Then you can pay me back and save up some money to build a new one?"
Ye Zhoushan shook his head: "Other people's things are never as good as your own."
"Now that it's built, I want to get it done right the first time, so I don't have to worry about it every day when I go back."
"Besides, you know, there are so many eyes watching here. No matter whether the big boss gave money or not, everyone else will think he did."
"If I don't spend this money, I won't be able to have peace."
Zhao Qianjin thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He was curious and couldn't help asking, "Did you give it to him?"
Ye Zhoushan leaned close to Zhao Qianjin's ear and whispered, "Give it to me." Ye Zhoushan had no intention of deceiving this man who took care of him like a father.
Zhao Qianjin's eyes widened, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Why don't you pay back the debt after you gave it to me? And you continue to borrow? What are you thinking?"
Ye Zhoushan shook his head in disapproval: "Uncle Captain, I told others that I gave 500 and then paid off the debt."
“What will people outside say?”
"They will think that there must be more than 500."
"I said I gave one thousand to pay off the debt and build the house."
"People out there might say, 'It must be more than that, otherwise who would spend all that money in one go?'"
"No matter how much I say, no one believes me. People come to my house every day to ask about me. People like Wu Yong will suck my blood like a blood-sucking insect."
"As long as I say I give it, it's a hassle that has no end."
"Look, I said I didn't give you so much trouble."
Zhao Qianjin calmed down and thought about it. Yes, not to mention other people's simple curiosity, just the Ye family and Wu Yong's group would never end.
But he didn't dare to have Ye Zhoushan's bizarre idea of borrowing money to stop the trouble.
"Okay, don't tell anyone about this anymore."
"However you want to build the house, I will allocate a residential plot for you."
Ye Zhoushan smiled and said, "Uncle Captain, I think the unowned forest behind your house is great."
Zhao Qianjin's home is at the head of the village, and the dam is not far in front. The old men and women chat at the dam when they have nothing to do.
If a person or a car comes into the village, they will be able to see it immediately.
The Dong family is right next to the Zhao family.
The forest is behind the vegetable garden in the Zhao family’s backyard.
The land was mostly gravel, with only a few trees and no grass growing.
Zhao Qianjin thought that the piece of land was good, at least it was close to his home, and he could help out at the first time if anything happened.
"Okay, while the fields are not busy, I'll find someone to borrow things for you and build the house."
"Do you have any other requests?"
Ye Zhoushan smiled and said, "I don't have any request, I just want to ask the captain for a leave."
Zhao Qianjin's face fell immediately: "Why are you asking for leave at this time? Your wife and child just came back from the hospital. Why don't you stay at home and take care of them? Why are you running around?"
"I think you are itching and need to be dealt with."
Ye Zhoushan bared his teeth: "Captain, please don't be angry, I'm not running around."
"It's Jin Tie. I asked him to help me with something a few days ago. It's been such a long time and he hasn't come back yet. I want to go look for him."
