Chapter 243 Taking the Riverside Land



Lin Ye took a day to visit Xu Tianshou.

This time, the negotiations went very smoothly. Xu Tianshou's tailor shop was already failing, and he was counting on selling the land to make some money. This time, he encountered such bad luck, and he aged ten years in an instant. He no longer had his former arrogant demeanor and only hoped that Lin Ye could buy his land as soon as possible.

"No more five hundred, no more one hundred," Lin Ye finally negotiated down to fifty yuan per mu, and he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Lin Ye gave him 1,500 yuan, took the land deed and the agreement signed and fingerprinted by Xu Tianshou, and left with a chuckle.

A few months ago, he could still offer 3,000 yuan, but now it's been cut in half.

Xu Tianshou watched Lin Ye's departing figure, filled with deep regret.

Because of his counterfeiting, the neighborhood committee has shut down his tailor shop, and he has lost all his savings. Now his whole family is relying on this 1,500 yuan to make ends meet!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Thinking of the terrible ideas Zhou Ling had given him, he wished he could skin her alive.

However, when he arrived at Zhou Ling's husband's house, he learned that Zhou Ling had already run away.

This matter is related to Yu Meifeng.

After Yu Meifeng suffered a miscarriage, she was detained in a detention center for three years and could not be released. In order to sever ties with her, Yu Guanghui never visited her even once.

In prison, many things had to be bought with money, and with no one to visit her, her life was undoubtedly miserable.

She then thought of Zhou Ling, who was being held captive by her husband's family and longed for freedom. She could give Zhou Ling her address and have her impersonate her to return to Dongguan.

Although she knew it was risky, she was sure that as long as Zhou Ling was promised a lucrative deal, she would definitely go. Once she arrived in Dongguan and found her in-laws and daughter, they would surely send money to Huang Ming and her.

Yu Meifeng threatened suicide to finally meet Yu Guanghui, and secretly gave him a note to pass on to Zhou Ling.

After all, they were father and daughter, so Yu Guanghui didn't refuse since it was just a simple note.

When Zhou Ling received the note, Yu Meifeng told her that as long as she could reach Dongguan, she could stay under the pretext of taking care of her daughter, and her in-laws would treat her well.

Zhou Ling's longing for a wonderful and free life in Dongguan filled her heart with joy.

She began to become docile and obedient, and finally one night, she persuaded her mentally challenged husband to untie her anklets.

While the mentally challenged man was fast asleep, he stole a dozen or so yuan from his pocket and ran away without a second thought.

The fool's wife ran away, so naturally he went to settle accounts with Yu Guanghui, who had been in contact with Zhou Ling. Yu Guanghui was speechless and was beaten to a pulp.

For Yu Guanghui, this was not the end of the matter, because Lu Wanqing's letter of complaint had already reached the commune, and the commune immediately sent people to investigate Yu Guanghui's conduct.

He naturally denied it outright. So what if Xu Bowen's ears were exactly the same as his and Yu Xiaojun's? There are plenty of coincidences in the world!

Unfortunately, after Yu Xiaojun became a vegetable, he was not properly cared for and starved to death.

He could stubbornly say he didn't want a son, but Li Miaolian couldn't afford to lose this opportunity!

With his son gone and his daughter still in jail, wouldn't such a big house belong to Xu Bowen?

He Shujuan didn't stand on ceremony and moved her whole family into the new house built for Yu Xiaojun, where they started cooking and settled down.

Miao Hongmei was already on the verge of collapse due to the loss of her beloved son. This further shock caused her to completely break down and go insane. She would tell everyone she met that Yu Xiaojun was not dead and that the person in the new house was Yu Xiaojun.

She mistook Xu Bowen for Yu Xiaojun.

Yu Guanghui felt both grief and indignation, yet also a sense of relief. He had not died without an heir; he still had bloodlines, which was tantamount to acknowledging his past with Li Miaolian.

The commune naturally dismissed him from his post. Now he lives next door to He Shujuan's family, surrounded by a crazy woman. They quarrel every few days, and their lives are a mess.

......

Of course, none of this affected Lu Wanqing's mood. Their quarrel had nothing to do with her. In a few months, she would be leaving this place.

The sweltering heat of July couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm for taking the college entrance examination.

This time, Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye did very well in their exams. After the exams, Lin Xiaocui and Luo Chunlei also returned from Beijing for their summer vacation.

The families gathered together again.

Everyone spoke freely about Huaqing School, the construction team, and the village, creating a lively atmosphere.

Lu Wanqing once wrote to Lin Xiaocui asking her to keep an eye out for courtyard houses in Beijing. When she and Lin Ye went to school, they would definitely have to take the children with them, and Zhao Xiaolan would naturally have to go with them as well.

They didn't force Lin Chunhua at the time; she could stay or go with them—it was up to her.

Lin Xiaocui actually found a few such good places. "Many courtyards are just large, crowded places, and it's definitely not comfortable to live in them. But there are a few where the owners live in the houses and rent out the extra rooms. There's no illegal construction. I think they're pretty good."

Seeing the prosperity of the capital, Lin Xiaocui suddenly realized that her former county town was nothing, and she was just a country bumpkin.

She loved strolling around the streets of Beijing. Every weekend, while others were studying or dating, she would drag Luo Chunlei along, wandering through the streets and alleys. In just six months, she had explored the entire city of Beijing.

She knows the locations of streets better than Lu Wanqing does now.

Lu Wanqing thought to herself that she was really something else, and smiled, "Then when Lin Ye and I return to the capital, we'll be relying on you!"

"Hehe, that's all I'm good at. I learned it from running errands back then!" Lin Xiaocui was a little embarrassed by what he said.

Luo Chunlei, who had been standing quietly to the side, sighed and said, "She buys everything she sees to eat and never goes hungry, while my legs have become so thin from all that walking!"

"Whose fault is that? It's your own fault for not liking the taste and not eating it," Lin Xiaocui retorted.

She eats wherever she goes, and she tries everything from braised pork offal to fermented bean juice, and she can eat them all. Luo Chunlei, on the other hand, is a picky eater. He can't stand the smell of these foods and can only eat a very limited number of them.

“Dietary habits vary from place to place. It would be great if we could eat hometown dishes in Beijing!” Lin Chunhua said.

Seeing that Luo Chunlei liked the food she cooked, she quickly got up and scooped some into his bowl. "When Aye comes to the capital, he will definitely have to live there. Then we can all cook for ourselves."

Luo Chunlei finally smiled; he had suffered terribly for the past six months!

After Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing filled out their college applications, they waited patiently for their acceptance letters. With their scores, they should be fine.

Lin Ye applied to the architecture department of the University of Science and Technology, while Lu Wanqing applied to the Beijing Chemical Fiber Engineering Institute, which is the predecessor of the Fashion Institute and the only nationally recognized fashion institute.

Since she chose this path, she wants to continue down it.

Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered that Mu Xiaoting's parents had helped her family so much, but she hadn't thanked them in person yet.

Since I have nothing to do while waiting for the notification, I might as well go and pay a visit!
