Li Weidong was busy doing accounts and had no idea what was happening outside. He only realized what was going on after hearing what the person said.
He then shook his head and said, "His house being taken away is his own fault, it has nothing to do with me, it's not good news."
"You don't need to tell me about his family matters anymore."
In his eyes, Tiger was like a grasshopper in autumn, not going to last much longer, and not worth his time.
Instead of wasting time on that, you should think more about the company's future development!
After all, Dongyan Trading has made money, and now it's time to develop Yimeng Farm. There's a lot to do.
The man, feeling awkward and embarrassed to stay any longer, made an excuse and left.
Zhao Xiulian became worried: "Weidong, the bank has taken away the house that Hu Zi's family worked so hard to build. Where will they live in the future?"
Li Weidong frowned: "Mom, you're not feeling sorry for their family, are you?"
That shouldn't be happening!
Grandpa's hospitalization caused such a mess before, how can you still feel sorry for him now?
Zhao Xiulian glared at him: "You brat, what are you thinking! Mom is worried they have nowhere to go and are going to see your grandpa again!"
The old man lived next to the house of Li Weidong's third uncle, Zhao Baojia, but not in Taohuayu, but in a small village not far from Taohuayu.
Because that small village was too remote and had few people, Zhao Shunqiang moved to Taohuayu after the family split up.
Now that the new house is gone, it's hard to guarantee that she won't go back to the old man.
Li Weidong also considered this possibility: "Mom, what you said is really possible. When their house burned down last time, I told my uncle to stop them."
“This matter has blown up so much, my grandfather will definitely find out.”
Although the old man has always favored the two younger ones and was heartbroken by Zhao Shunqiang, he is ultimately soft-hearted and, being his own son, might take over the family.
"or……"
Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said, "Should I go and say it again?"
Zhao Xiulian thought for a moment, then sighed: "Forget it, if your eldest uncle really moves to your maternal grandfather's house, and your maternal grandfather is willing to take him in, it's none of our business."
"Let him be!"
Besides, they were siblings after all, and even if they fell out, she didn't want to see Zhao Shunqiang's family sleeping under a bridge.
Li Weidong nodded and said no more.
...
Tiger's family's house was seized by the bank, and they can no longer build a new house.
Firstly, we had no money; secondly, we had no place to go.
The family originally had two plots of land for building houses. The old house was taken away by the bank, and the plot of land allocated by the village was mortgaged to Li Weidong. Where would they find a place to build a house?
Li Baotian bluntly stated: "There aren't any more residential plots left in the village. Your family either has to pay to buy one from someone else, or you'll have to figure it out yourselves!"
Tiger was furious, but there was nothing he could do. The family discussed it over and over again, and finally went to see the old man.
As Li Weidong had predicted, the old man's reaction was exactly what he expected.
Although he hated Zhao Shunqiang for his heartless behavior when he was sick, he was still his son. After scolding him, he still settled the family in his home.
Zhao Baojia couldn't stand it anymore and complained to Li Weidong.
Li Weidong smiled and said, "Uncle, we juniors can't say what Grandpa wants to do, so we might as well let him do it."
"Just one thing: that family isn't good people. Since you live next door, be careful, especially with your money. Make sure you keep it safe."
After saying that, he added, "Otherwise, you can keep it in the bank, and I can keep the passbook for you."
After all, the two houses are next to each other, and Tiger is not a good person; he often steals chickens and dogs, so we have to be careful.
Zhao Shunqiang nodded and agreed to them one by one.
Li Weidong was relieved and went back to his work.
Spring is here, and it's time to start making plans for Yimeng Mountain Villa this year!
But who would have thought that while he was busy with work, Tiger was up to his old tricks again.
And this time, they did something big.
...
That night, Li Weidong couldn't sleep because he had drunk too much strong tea while working on a project proposal.
In the middle of the night, while I was half asleep, I suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Then came a rustling sound, and then he saw flames rising outside the window.
Someone set fire!
Li Weidong was shocked and jumped up, running outside while shouting, "Mom, get up quickly, there's a fire!"
The flames outside the window grew larger and larger.
If it were any other house, the fire wouldn't have started so quickly, but Li Weidong's house was different.
The villagers were grateful to him for leading them to make money together, and they would often bring him vegetables and food. The firewood was so plentiful that it couldn't fit in the kitchen, so they piled it up behind the house and stacked it along the eaves.
These piles of dry firewood, once lit, will surely catch fire!
Zhao Xiulian, being elderly and a light sleeper, rushed out in a panic and was immediately bewildered when she saw the raging fire behind the house.
"Don't be afraid, go and call for help!"
Li Weidong drew water from the well while instructing Zhao Xiulian.
It's all thanks to Zhou Xiaoye and Li Xiaoli going to school, otherwise they might have been terrified!
As soon as Zhao Xiulian shouted, everyone in the village woke up and came to help.
With many people working together, the fire was quickly brought under control. Apart from a blackened area behind the house, there was no major damage.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, you're alright."
"Luckily we arrived in time, otherwise if it had really caught fire, who knows what kind of disaster it would have caused!"
"Thank God, Weidong was awake just in time, thank goodness!"
