Chapter 57 Selling a House (2/2)



The heavy shackles pressing on their heads broke and fell to the ground at this moment.

From now on they can make their own food.

For them, this is as exciting and thrilling as the national liberation.

Qiao Jianguo also breathed a sigh of relief. His life should be saved and he no longer had to worry about the monsters in the back hill all the time.

After sending the three witnesses away, Qiao Jiuwang and his wife felt like half of their lives were taken away.

Seeing that it was only a little past seven o'clock, Qiao Jiangxin arranged for his father and uncle to go to the river to pick up stones overnight so that they could start building the wall as soon as they woke up the next day.

After Qiao Youfu and Qiao Youcai left, Qiao Jiangxin turned around and went into his third uncle's house next door.

My third uncle is called Qiao Jiuxing. He and Qiao Jiuwang are brothers from the same mother, but the two families have lost contact for many years.

There are three brothers named Qiao Jiuwang. The eldest brother is gone. Qiao Jiuwang is the second oldest and Qiao Jiuxing is the third oldest.

The two brothers always supported each other, otherwise they would not have built the house together.

Qiao Jiangxin remembered that when he was about seven or eight years old, it happened to be the time for the harvest in the village, and everyone who could go to the fields went to the fields, including the elderly and children.

But at that time, Qiao Jianhua and his two siblings were still studying and had to come back to eat at noon, so Lei Honghua stayed at home to take care of the livestock and cook.

Qiao Jiuxing has a grandson named Xiaobao who is less than 10 years old. He is smart and cute, and the whole family loves him very much.

The sun was strong and the elders were reluctant to take the children out to sunbathe. Since Lei Honghua didn't go to the fields, they asked Lei Honghua next door to look after them.

Lei Honghua agreed verbally, but was annoyed by Xiaobao's noise, so she asked him to go find his grandmother.

She was too lazy to send the child there, fearing that people would think she didn't want to look after the child, so she just pointed the way and let Xiaobao go by himself.

Later, Xiaobao was fished out of the pond, and he was already stiff when he was pulled out.

Qiao Jiuxing's whole family collapsed.

In order to evade responsibility, Lei Honghua argued that she was busy doing something and did not notice it at all.

They said that Xiaobao drowned because he was unlucky, that Xiaobao's mother was unlucky, and that Qiao Jiuxing's family had lost some good karma and was haunted by a water ghost.

The mother was so angry that she almost lost the three-month-old baby in her belly. Qiao Jiuxing's wife, Shemei, beat Lei Honghua and was sued by Lei Honghua.

Later, Qiao Jiuxing's family paid for the medical expenses, and he could not bear it anymore, so he reported Lei Honghua for practicing superstition. Lei Honghua was arrested by the commune and reformed for more than a week.

The two families became enemies, and the two brothers became mortal enemies. Even when they met in the village, both families would ignore each other and treat each other as air.

When Qiao Jiangxin came, Qiao Jiuxing's family was very indifferent.

But after Qiao Jiangxin told him the reason for coming, Qiao Jiuxing was moved, "You said you want to sell me the three houses near my house?"

As soon as Qiao Jiuxing finished speaking, Xiaoshemei and their son and daughter-in-law all looked at Qiao Jiangxin.

Qiao Jiuxing has only two sons. Although they are already married, they all live together.

The grandchildren have grown up, and the eldest grandson is the same age as Qiao Jiangxin. He is about to get married, and the house is no longer big enough for him.

The neighbors on both sides are close to each other, so there is no place to build a house even if I want to expand.

Qiao Jiangxin nodded, "Yes, we have already moved in, and the documents have been signed. Those three rooms belong to us, and tomorrow my uncle and dad will build a wall to separate them from the other side.

Third uncle, you know what kind of person my grandma is. We would rather go out and find a piece of land to rebuild the house than stay away from them.

I just don’t know if you find it troublesome and if you dare to take this house. ”

Before Qiao Jiuxing could say anything, the girl stood up.

"Answer it, why don't you dare to answer it!"

The girl's words were full of hidden meanings, and she said coldly, "Humph, your grandfather had four sons at the beginning, and they were very brave. Your uncle and your father are also capable, so you should work hard for him.

Now, he only has that second-rate guy, Lao Si, by his side...”
