Chapter 237: Deng Xiumei Calls
"Sixth brother, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let's discuss it more." Deng Chunsheng anxiously grabbed Deng Liuer.
"I'm not forcing you. It's mainly because you agreed to lend me the money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lent it to you. It's very difficult for me to do this now." Deng Liu'er paused and sighed, "Well, forget it. You can't write two Dengs with one stroke. Chunsheng, for the sake of brotherhood, I will guarantee you for one more day. Go find a way to raise the money, and I'll come back tomorrow."
"Thank you, Sixth Brother. Thank you, Sixth Brother. Thank you so much!" Deng Chunsheng thanked him repeatedly.
Deng Chunsheng was unable to express his gratitude, but Deng Xiuzhen sincerely thanked Fang Mei: After Fang Mei knew the true face of the Deng family, she and Qi Guomin first entrusted the doctor and the people in the next ward to take care of him. Then she discussed the follow-up prevention plan with Deng Xiuzhen. The plan was discussed by the two of them, but Fang Mei made all the subsequent arrangements.
She was the one who arranged the people in Chenjia Bay, and she also greeted and helped look after the people around the alleys in the west of the city.
Otherwise, how could someone see Deng Chunsheng climbing the wall in time? And how could so many people know what happened to the Deng family in the hospital?
Deng Xiuzhen thanks Fang Mei for her help.
Fang Mei said there was no need to thank her, this was the blessing that Deng Xiuzhen deserved for her good deeds, and it was what she should do.
As they talked, they both couldn't help but laugh: It seemed that he was a bit too polite, and, quite long-winded.
Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling, Deng Xiuzhen's phone rang.
Deng Xiuzhen took out her cell phone and saw it was a call from Deng Xiumei.
She really didn't want to answer the call, but thinking that her father was still in the village and that it might be about her father's matter, she still answered the call.
"Xiuzhen, why did you take so long to answer the phone? If I had something urgent to talk to you about, wouldn't it delay things if you took so long to answer the phone?!" Deng Xiumei habitually acted like an elder sister.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you're just trying to teach me a lesson, I'm hanging up!" Since they had already fallen out, Deng Xiuzhen didn't want to tolerate her and directly pushed back forcefully.
"You!" Deng Xiumei finally slowed down her tone and said, "When my mother's funeral was held, Chunsheng borrowed one thousand yuan from Deng Liuer. It was interest money. He originally planned to use the love money to pay off the debt. Later, something happened. You know what happened. Chunlin ran away with the love money, and ended up meeting a thief on the train. All the money was stolen.
Now Deng Liuer came to collect the debt, saying that if he couldn't pay it back, he would have to sell the house and the fields in front and back to him. I thought that this was my parents' house and also Chunlin and Chunsheng's future, so it couldn't be sold.
But Chunsheng didn't listen to me and planned to sell it to Deng Liuer for all the three thousand yuan.
Xiuzhen, you have money on hand, give it to them to pay off their debts first, don’t let them sell their hometown…”
"It's not my house. If they want to sell it, they can sell it. What does it have to do with me? Don't say I don't have money. Even if I did have money, I wouldn't give it to them!" Thinking of what they had done, Deng Xiuzhen got furious and hung up the phone.
"Sister Deng, I just heard that your brother wants to sell your Deng family's house and land?" Fang Mei asked.
"Yeah, my brothers and sisters are all weird! The eldest brother is a spendthrift and doesn't do any serious work! I thought the younger brother would be better, but he is such a fool, even worse than the eldest brother! This sister is brainless, it really makes me mad! No matter what, I don't care what they do!" Deng Xiuzhen vented angrily.
Fang Mei thought for a while and said, "Sister Deng, I heard from Guomin that your mother's family seems to be planning a project, like building a factory or something. If it really happens, there will be a lot of land acquisition money. Do you want to reconsider what to do?"
"Will the Deng family develop the area?" Deng Xiuzhen tried hard to recall, as it seemed that there was no such thing in her previous life.
"Well, that's true. When Guomin heard you talk about the house last time, he became interested in it. His family has some connections and can get some information that others don't know in advance. However, it seems that this matter has not been finalized yet." Fang Mei nodded and said.
"It doesn't matter even if it's confirmed, let alone it's not confirmed yet!" Deng Xiuzhen really didn't want to care about the Deng family's affairs. Moreover, in her memory, the Deng family had never been developed until her death and had always been just a corner of the village.
"Sister Deng, who is that Deng Liu'er?" Seeing Deng Xiuzhen getting emotional, Fang Mei changed the subject.
"Deng Liu'er? He is a local thief in our area. He used to make a living by stealing. Later, I don't know how he got some money, and he started lending money at high interest rates. He has been away from home all year round and has not been doing any work. He is a scum!" Deng Xiuzhen said angrily.
"If your brother sold the house and the foundation to such a person, would you feel comfortable?" Fang Mei smiled.
Deng Xiuzhen was stunned, then calmed down: Yes, the Deng family is not very ambitious, but we can't just let others cheat us out of our house and land at a low price, right?
Although there is no memory of the Deng family being developed, many things have changed after living a new life. Perhaps this thing has also changed. Has the Deng family been developed?
"Sister Deng, it's better for you to keep it for yourself than to let that ruffian buy it. Even if it is not developed, it will only be a matter of a few thousand dollars. It is worth it to protect the ancestral foundation for a few thousand dollars. In case it is developed, it doesn't matter if your brothers and sisters live a better life..." Fang Mei persuaded slowly.
"Yeah, that makes sense! Fang Mei, thank you. I'll go back later and ask them to sell the land to me." Deng Xiuzhen said as she got up and packed up her things, preparing to return home.
"Or, Fang Mei, you guys go and buy it." Deng Xiuzhen stopped and looked at Fang Mei and said, she really didn't want to deal with Deng Chunsheng and the others anymore.
"Sister Deng, we can't interfere in this matter. I also thought about sending someone to buy it and then pass it on to you, but if they find out about it, it will be very bad for you. That's why I thought about you buying it yourself. Sister Deng, there are some things that you have to face yourself. But just go with peace of mind, I'll send someone to follow you."
After hearing what Fang Mei said, Deng Xiuzhen did not hesitate any longer and took Tan Yanlin directly to the Deng family.
"Xiuzhen, come on! Come and persuade Chunsheng!" Deng Xiumei hurried over when she saw Deng Xiuzhen.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here, get out of here!" Deng Chunsheng glared at him.
Deng Xiuzhen was furious and wanted to curse back, but after thinking about the purpose of her visit, she didn't get angry and just said calmly, "If Sister Xiumei hadn't called me, do you think I would have come?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I was the one who called Xiuzhen and asked her to lend you money to pay off your debt. We can't sell my parents' house and land!" Xiumei replied quickly.
"I don't have money to lend you, but I can lend you money to buy the house and land, and the price I offer can be a little higher than others." Deng Xiuzhen did not intend to lend money to Deng Chunsheng.
