Those unaware of the situation could only look at Tao Qiuyan with longing eyes, because she was a widow. In their eyes, the only reason Wu Guangfa was so enthusiastic about inviting her back for the New Year was probably because of a woman, aside from Ye Beiping being rich and someone he wanted to curry favor with.
Before Ye Beiping could speak, Tao Qiuyan said, "Beiping, how about your sister, Xinyi, and I go stay at your maternal grandfather's house for a few days, and we'll come back after the house is repaired?"
"This..." Ye Beiping thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Since we're going to visit my maternal grandfather's family anyway, we might as well go today and drop off my mother and sister there as well, since the family isn't doing too well either.
"Uncle Wu." Having figured it out, Ye Beiping said to Wu Guangfa, "Could you help me arrange the house repairs here? It doesn't need to be perfect, just replace the tiles and patch up any leaks."
"We're planning to build a new house next year too."
hiss!
Upon hearing that a new house was being built, everyone's eyes lit up with envy.
Of the hundred or so households in the village, there wasn't a single person who could afford to build a new house. Unexpectedly, Ye Beiping returned after only six months away and was already planning to build a new house.
Everyone started to have doubts: Is Hangzhou really that profitable?
If it were really profitable, my brat would be living a life of eating, drinking, and having fun all day. It would be so much better to send him to Hangzhou to make money.
"Alright, alright." Wu Guangfa wasn't surprised at all that Ye Beiping wanted to build a house, because Wu Di had said that when he came back for the New Year, they would also discuss building a new house.
"Hey, Lao Wang, Lao Li, Lao Xu, you're all experts. Take care of the houses in Beiping, and settle the payment with me later. I'll also send you two catties of meat to each of your homes for the New Year."
"Okay!" the three of them agreed in unison.
The three of them are considered inheritors of their craft in the village. They learned these skills by paying several kilograms of pork to become apprentices. They were hoping to earn some extra money or at least get a few meals of meat when someone was repairing a house.
Now that the village chief has spoken, how could they possibly refuse?
Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin opened the door to take a look after everyone had finished discussing the matter.
A cloud of dust swept over us, and even when you walked in, you could clearly feel the cobwebs.
Wu Guangfa then directed the three men to inspect the situation, checking which parts of the house needed repair or reinforcement.
It was Auntie Fatty, Ye Beiping's former neighbor, who brazenly approached him and asked with an awkward smile, "Beiping, is it easy to make money in Hangzhou?"
This issue has touched the hearts of everyone around.
Everyone had wanted to ask this for a long time, but they hadn't been very nice to Ye Beiping before, so they were a little embarrassed to ask him now.
Ye Beiping paused, supporting Su Xinyi's hand, and looked at the person who asked the question. He recognized the fat auntie; no wonder her voice sounded so familiar.
He raised an eyebrow and smiled: "It is indeed quite profitable. The more people there are, the more money you can make."
He wasn't lying; if there weren't many people, how could he do business?
But Su Xinyi, who was handing out candy to the children, pursed her lips and tried to suppress a laugh.
Having stayed at Ye Beiping's house for a while before, I naturally know Aunt Pang's personality. I'm afraid Ye Beiping's words now are not well-intentioned.
Hangzhou has a large population, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to make money. If Ye Beiping weren't so clever, making money wouldn't be so easy.
If everyone were like Ye Beiping, wouldn't everyone in Hangzhou be rich?
Upon hearing this, the plump aunt's eyes widened: "Really?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Ye Beiping even showed off his clothes, because the inner pockets of his clothes were bulging with the money he had brought back.
Its head was a vibrant green.
The villagers were stunned when they saw it.
So much money!
Aunt Pang's voice trembled as she spoke: "This... Beiping, you see, Aunt Pang has always helped your family a lot. You can't forget Aunt Pang when it comes to making money."
puff!
The surrounding villagers all looked at Aunt Pang with strange eyes. Even Ye Beiping was shocked, never expecting that Aunt Pang could be so shameless.
I will definitely help, but adding the word "support" is a bit excessive.
Whether it's a wedding or a funeral, or not, people in the village who are usually noisy will definitely help out. But normally, Aunt Pang doesn't seem to help their family much; it's good enough if she doesn't cause trouble.
The plump aunt noticed everyone's gazes and immediately started throwing a tantrum: "What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? Didn't I help out when he got married in Beiping? And his father..."
She didn't say anything more, after all, it was almost Chinese New Year, and it wouldn't be appropriate to talk about that.
However, she still stubbornly faced the villagers.
Some villagers didn't dare to argue with Aunt Pang. A good man doesn't fight with a woman, especially one as strong as Aunt Pang.
Weighing nearly 180 pounds, he could probably crush a person to death.
