Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Feng Chunhua came to talk to Feng Yijia.
"The corn harvest will be in a few days, and the busy farming season will leave us no time to repair the house.
All the materials such as adobe and wood are available.
Construction of the house begins today.
You said you would pay them, and there are plenty of people in the village willing to help with the work.
It will probably take three or four days for your house to be built."
Feng Yijia knew that the quality of a house built in this way would definitely not be very good, but it should be fine to live in for a few years as a transition.
Her eyes curved with joy as she said, "Thank you for your concern for me. When I get better, I'll treat you all to a meal to express my gratitude."
The girl in my memory who always kept her head down and had a wooden face, although now injured, pale and in a disheveled state, holds her head high and chest out, looking confident and like a normal girl should.
When she smiled, she was as beautiful as the pear blossoms blooming in the mountains in early spring, which made Feng Chunhua a little dazed.
She was stunned for a moment, then remembered that someone had asked her yesterday whether Feng Yi's family had been taken advantage of by the Meng Yun brothers. She secretly sighed that this girl had bad luck.
She lost her parents when she was young, and her husband died just after she got married when she grew up. Now this kind of thing happened again. Even if she is good-looking, it is probably difficult for her to get a good husband in the future.
Feng Yijia ignored the complicated emotions on the person's face, and took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, which was still warm, and handed it to Feng Chunhua.
He said: "Before, I was penniless, so I shamelessly asked the villagers to cover everything. Now that I have some money, I will give them some first.
I'll find a way to make up for the time difference when the time comes!"
Feng Chunhua looked at the stack of money, thought for a moment, and only took fifty. She returned the rest to Feng Yijia and said, "The materials are all leftover from the construction of the primary school. They are free for the village.
I'll take these wages first and tell those people in the village committee that you are not someone who likes to take advantage of the collective.
After the house is built, calculate the total amount and keep a record of the missing part so that you can make up for it when you can make money in the future.
You can keep the remaining money for yourself.
A home is more than just a house. It needs pots and pans, cooking oil, salt, and furniture. You need to save some money for emergency items."
Seeing that the man was so sincere in considering his own affairs, Feng Yijia stopped insisting and took the fifty yuan and put it back in his pocket.
After the two finished their business, Feng Chunhua showed some concern for Feng Yijia's injuries. Before leaving, she gave him a compassionate and meaningful instruction: "Yijia, take good care of yourself here with Doctor Zhang.
The village is in a mess these days, so if you can stay at home, don't go out. Nothing else matters more than your health!"
Feng Yijia has lived in this village for nearly twenty years and has been wandering for more than twenty years. He knows the meaning of her words.
However, it is better to listen less to gossip.
Although she didn't care much, she didn't want to make herself uncomfortable on purpose.
She nodded obediently and continued to stay at the Zhang family without leaving the house, helping Dr. Zhang and his wife with things within her ability.
The two of them can't wait to pack their luggage to take away.
However, Feng Yijia, the person involved, stayed calm while Meng Sheng had a fight with someone because of the gossip.
Here's the thing.
Recently, the Meng Sheng family has been somewhat embarrassed in the village because of Meng Chengliang's family.
Although they couldn't be said to be ostracized, everyone avoided them intentionally or unintentionally when gossiping and chatting, and they were not informed of many things happening in the village.
Therefore, when Feng Yi's family was going to build a house next door, no one from their family went to help.
Now is the hottest time of the year. Everyone works from dawn to dusk and rests at noon when the sun is at its hottest.
We officially started work this morning. As soon as the sky began to show some light, all kinds of noises came from next door.
Meng Sheng's bedroom was the closest to this place. He was woken up and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up, dressed, and left the yard.
Standing in the shadow of the corner of my house, I watched a dozen young men in front of me busy working with hoes and shovels.
Thinking that Feng Yi's family would be able to move here in a few days, I felt inexplicably happy.
But after a while, she couldn't help getting angry when she heard some men's joking words.
——"Hey, I didn't expect that the girl from Feng Yi's family would also have a new house to live in.
Judging from the white lines drawn on the ground, there are three large houses.
Most of us don’t even have our own house, and we’re worse off than those who grew up without parents.”
——"You are envious, but it's useless to be envious. It's your fault that you are not a woman!"
——"Well, it's useless for a girl to grow up to be like Ergouzi. The village chief's son has high standards and won't look down on her!"
——"That's right! She has to look like Feng Yijia, so cute that you can't help but want to take action!"
——"Haha, Daniel, have you ever felt itchy looking at that girl and thought about taking action?"
——"Tsk, you're talking as if you haven't thought about it.
That face, that figure, what's wrong with me just thinking about it?
If my family hadn't been unwilling, I would have married her long ago to warm my bed!"
It was still dark, and it was difficult to see clearly from a distance. Most of the villagers had not yet gotten up, and a few of them spoke in low voices, talking about everything.
At first, Meng Sheng only felt a fire rising in his heart. When he heard the following words, the evil fire exploded like a prairie fire, burning him to the point of losing all his sanity.
It was the same voice as before, "But that was my old thought. Feng Yi's family might have been ruined by the Meng Yun brothers now. I would even find it dirty if they gave it to me.
I heard that his injury hasn't healed after all these days, and he hasn't left Doctor Zhang's house for the past two days!
Hey, who knows where the injury is?"
