Chapter 314 Chapter 315: Headache
When Yang Chunyan arrived at the construction site, she saw that the craftsmen had already started placing beams and crossbeams on the pillars to make partitions and lay floor slabs.
The house was still a little different from what she had imagined, but it was not bad either. However, she would have to build a shed in the backyard to dry the herbs in the future.
Father Zhou took the cigarette and pointed at the masons working on the wall, "If you don't build the second floor, you should put up the beams if you build more than one meter higher."
"It's a lot of trouble." Yang Chunyan felt that the speed was already very fast. In her previous life, it would take at least a month to achieve this progress.
The bricklayer at the side said, "Old Zhou, it's pretty good already. Fortunately, your family hired so many people, otherwise it would have taken a long time! Look how bright the upstairs is. The wooden boards have been laid and painted with tung oil twice. Two generations can live in this house without any problems."
Carpenter Chen also nodded. "That's right. When it gets hot, go upstairs, open the window, spread out a mat and sleep there. It's still cool."
After hearing this, Zhou's father also said happily: "That's true."
Seeing that they were talking excitedly, Yang Chunyan went to the backyard. There were a few villagers helping out digging a pit toilet. It was a pity that they couldn't find a worker to build a biogas digester. Otherwise, they could have built a biogas digester and it would have been convenient to burn biogas in the future.
On the right side of the Baokan on the back mountain, more than a dozen stone steps were built, so that people can go up the mountain from the yard.
She thought that after the work was completed, she would have to get some wooden stakes to build a fence around the top of the embankment to prevent wild animals and thieves from entering from the back mountain.
After looking around and walking back, she saw a tractor driving into the village when she got on the main road. She walked to the intersection of Tiankan Road and stopped to wait for Zhou Huaian to come.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Huairong came over with a basket on his shoulder. Yang Chunyan asked with a smile, "Brother, have you handed over the public grain?"
"I've paid!" Zhou Huairong said happily, "Now we don't have to worry about the rain."
"Well, now a big thing is solved." Yang Chunyan looked around and saw Zhou Huaian was still behind, so she stood there waiting for him to come over.
Zhou Huaian walked to the intersection and saw her, and said happily: "Are you here to pick me up?"
Yang Chunyan said with a smile: "Why should I pick you up? It's not like you don't know the way!"
"That's right, you're not a three-year-old kid, why would I come to pick you up!" Zhou Huairong put down the basket with a smile, "Youngest, I'm going to take a look at the construction site, you carry the sand back home and quickly go to the river dam to bring it to the construction site."
"Yes." Zhou Huaian picked up the basket and walked back with Yang Chunyan side by side. "We went to my sister's house. She looked like she was worried."
After hearing this, Yang Chunyan recalled Zhou Yumei's experience in her previous life. "I heard from my mother that the He family favors boys over girls. A few months ago, they went around looking for fortune tellers. There was even a fortune teller who calculated whether Sister Yumei was pregnant with a boy or a girl. She must be under a lot of pressure."
"Fuck, she can even calculate it in her stomach, she thinks those people are gods!"
"Look at those families in the village who have several sons. They still hope for a son. The He family has only one son, He Jianjun. His mother prefers sons over daughters, and now they are not allowed to have more children. It's difficult!"
Mother Zhou said last time that in order to have a son, Mother He gave birth to five girls in a row, gave two of them away, and only gave birth to He Jianjun after the eighth child.
The He family agreed to let He Jianjun marry Zhou Yumei because she had four brothers in her family and was good-looking. They also thought their daughter looked like her mother, and marrying her into the family would help expand the He family.
After hearing this, Zhou Huaian thought of the He family's situation and thought so, "Yan'er, is this nephew or niece born by my sister in your dream?"
"Niece."
"Oh!" Zhou Huaian sighed after hearing this, "I hope the dream is the opposite."
Yang Chunyan glanced at him and said, "I'm telling you, I dreamed that Sister Yumei had only given birth to her niece for two months, and He Jianjun's mother forced her to wean her and have a second child."
"She got pregnant within two months of weaning. When her belly grew bigger, she came to hide from us for two months. I don't know who reported her, but you sent her to the mountains to hide for one night. Then she fled to He Jianjun's aunt's house and hid there until she was about to give birth."
"Maybe it's because she stayed at home and didn't move much, and she was under a lot of pressure, Sister Yumei's health was very poor. She never recovered after giving birth to my nephew. Later I took her to see Dr. Wang, who treated her."
Zhou Huaian felt relieved, "What happened next?"
"Although the He family got what they wanted, they were fined for having a second child and still owed some foreign debts. It was probably in 1984 or 1985, He Jianjun separated his yard into a shop and went to the provincial capital with his brother-in-law to wholesale clothes and sell them.
There were few people selling clothes in the town and business was good, so it didn't take long for him to pay back all the borrowed money. He also demolished his house and built a three-story building with two shops on the first floor.
With a son and a daughter and money at home, everyone envied Sister Yumei for her good fortune. But men tend to be bad when they have money, and He Jianjun hooked up with a woman without knowing when.
After He Jianjun was caught in the act by Sister Yumei for the first time, he swore and promised not to have any contact with that woman again. Not long after, she found out that the two of them were together again. She said that the woman cut her wrists for him and truly loved him.
He Jianjun had a big fight with Sister Yumei and would rather divorce her than give up anything. Only then did Sister Yumei know that He Jianjun had dated this woman before.
The girl's parents disliked her family and married her to a bricklayer. When the man was repairing a house for someone, he fell off the roof and died. Sister Yumei disagreed, and at first the old couple of the He family also disagreed and went to make trouble for the woman.
Later, He Jianjun simply stopped going home, bought a house in the city, and took the woman to the city to open a shop. They lived together openly, and the woman even got pregnant.
Sister Yumei then came home to ask you for help. You and your eldest brother went to find He Jianjun, beat him up, and smashed the shop. You were also arrested and detained for a few days, but it was still no use.
Later, the woman gave birth to a son, and the old couple of the He family joined He Jianjun in forcing Sister Yumei to divorce. After a few years of arguing, they finally divorced. "
She never mentioned this because it happened several years later and no one would believe her if she told her now.
Even if Zhou Huaian believed it, Zhou Yumei would not divorce He Jianjun just because of a "dream".
Zhou Huaian's heart sank completely. He thought that Zhou Yumei would give birth soon, and then he would know whether Chunyan's dream was true or not.
But if she really gave birth to a niece, would she just watch her hide and have a second child? And then watch He Jianjun hook up with someone else and abandon them?
He was at a loss for a moment, so he stopped and looked at her, "Yan'er, what do you think we should do?"
Yang Chunyan didn't know what to do. From her perspective, when He Jianjun asked for nothing, she told him to leave the house and find his true love. After dragging it on for several years and becoming exhausted both physically and mentally, they ended up in divorce.
"When Sister Yumei got divorced, her nephew and niece followed her, and she was awarded a house in town. Later, she came to her senses, cleared out the shop and opened a small store, and she is living a good life."
Zhou Huaian frowned, "What if what you dreamed about is true? Are we just going to watch He harm her for the rest of her life?"
