After the group finished unloading the tiles, Jiang Jinxiu took them to visit the brick and tile house.
As a result, Huang Tao only took a stroll around before saying, "Sister-in-law, let's tear them down and rebuild them."
Jiang Jinxiu was somewhat surprised and looked at Huang Tao with a puzzled expression.
When they initially chose a brick house, it was for convenience. Now, after Huang Tao took one look, he suggested they rebuild it.
This made her feel uncertain.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Jinxiu's confusion, Huang Tao led her on a tour around the house.
As he walked around, he pointed out gaps and cracks in the house.
I didn't realize until I looked that there were cracks in the walls around the house, though they weren't very noticeable.
In some places, the foundation was not laid very well.
According to Huang Tao, there are typhoons in Guangxi Province in the summer, and if the wall is not rebuilt, it could collapse at any time if the typhoon is strong.
It was only then that Jiang Jinxiu realized that Huang Tao was actually an expert in this field.
Before enlisting in the army, he followed his father around building houses for people.
There's not much money, but it'll make sure you're well-fed.
Jiang Jinxiu was very grateful, and when they left, she specially packed two bags of apples for each of them.
Huang Tao said that if any bricks or tiles are needed for the later stages of building the house, you can come to him, and he will take care of everything.
Jiang Jinxiu was very grateful.
...
Demolishing and rebuilding a house is a major undertaking.
She wasn't worried about the money.
Gu Xichen had given her some money before, and she had also earned quite a bit on the black market recently, which was definitely enough to build a house.
However, if she were to rebuild, she wouldn't plan to build a regular house; she wanted to build a villa, but she would need to discuss the details with Gu Xichen before making a decision.
Jiang Jinxiu told the Gu family everything Huang Tao had said.
Yang Dongmei said with relief, "Luckily, Comrade Huang discovered it. Otherwise, if they had just repaired the roof and moved in, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
She recalled that two years ago, a family's house collapsed during a typhoon, and when the people were pulled out, they were already covered in blood and gore.
She strongly agreed with the idea of demolishing and rebuilding.
However, she began to worry again, as this was a considerable expense.
"Third son's wife, do you have enough money? If not, I have some more here."
She has been saving their share of the money from the family division.
Jiang Jinxiu was deeply moved: "Mother, you don't need to worry about that. I'll find a way."
Boss Gu, who was standing to the side, also expressed his opinion.
"Third sister-in-law, your second brother and I can handle the demolition of the house, so you don't need to worry. Some of the bricks can be reused."
Gu Laoda adheres to the principle of saving as much money as possible.
After all, earning every penny these days is not easy.
Gu Lao Er: "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry. In another half month, the busy farming season will be over, and we'll have plenty of time then."
"Me too, I can help too," Gu Xilan said excitedly, raising her hand in agreement.
Jiang Jinxiu felt a warm glow in her heart; this was family.
Although they have separated, they still help each other out when needed.
People will be treated the same way.
Yang Zhaodi used to cause trouble, but since that incident, she has been wholeheartedly devoted to the Gu family.
Yang Dongmei was very satisfied and pleased with her children's performance.
Jiang Jinxiu said that they would be paid according to their wages, and they shouldn't have worked for nothing.
The eldest and second eldest Gu brothers refused.
In the end, Jiang Jinxiu shut him down by saying that even brothers should settle accounts clearly.
On the other side, the squad leader took Liu Jianjun and Song Wan'er directly to the village chief's house.
The village chief was furious after learning about the situation.
“Liu Zhiqing, how long has it been since last time? Do you know you’re already married? Having affairs is a crime punishable by imprisonment. And you, Song Zhiqing, you always seem so delicate and weak, how could you do such a thing? And you’re still unmarried. No way, this time I’m going to send you both to the militia.”
Song Wan'er and Liu Jianjun pleaded desperately, but to no avail.
Liu Jianjun felt that he was finished, that this time he was really finished.
If he is imprisoned for hooliganism, he will definitely miss returning to the city and taking the college entrance examination.
No, he can't.
Liu Jianjun was anxiously thinking about how to resolve the situation at hand.
Upon hearing the news, He Mei rushed in and immediately slapped Song Wan'er several times across the face: "You shameless woman, you have no self-control, how dare you seduce my man, what a little sister you are."
Song Wan'er was caught off guard and unprepared.
His face swelled up at a visible speed.
Her eyes turned red, and she grabbed at He Mei's hair with a ferocious expression.
"It's you, it's you! You knew Jianjun was my boyfriend, and you still tried to take him from me. You're shameless!"
He Mei winced in pain, and tears almost welled up in her eyes. She quickly retaliated.
"Liu Jianjun is now my husband, and we have a marriage certificate."
"So what? Jianjun loves me."
...
The two were tearing at each other, arguing incessantly.
It was obvious that Song Wan'er was not as strong as He Mei.
Her clothes were quickly torn, blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth, and her hair was in a mess.
He Mei's hair was just a little messy.
The two women's actions stunned everyone around them.
Coming to their senses, the village chief quickly called for people to break up the fight.
Those who tried to break up the fight were scratched several times and bled before they were finally separated.
He Mei's words awakened Liu Jianjun, and he blamed everything on Song Wan'er: "Village chief, it was Song Wan'er who seduced me. I admit that I couldn't resist the temptation, but it was Song Wan'er who seduced me, village chief."
The village chief was practically fuming with rage.
He looked down on men like Liu Jianjun.
He waved his hand, turned around, and didn't want to look at the people on the ground anymore.
"You can talk to the militia yourselves about your problems. I can't handle this anymore."
"No, village chief! I promise I'll never do it again. He Mei, my wife, save me! It was Song Wan'er who seduced me! Yes, it was Song Wan'er! He Mei, please help me! I promise I'll treat you well from now on..."
Upon hearing that they were to be sent to the militia, Liu Jianjun completely broke down and began to speak incoherently.
He Mei looked at him with a mocking gaze, without saying a word.
She still vividly remembered what those two people did and said in the grove last time.
Song Wan'er was stunned for a long time after hearing Liu Jianjun's words.
His eyes were filled with disappointment, disbelief, and despair.
Is this still the same Jianjun brother who said he would protect her for life?
Is this still the same Jianjun brother who was so close to her and said he liked her?
“Soldier brother, we grew up together. You said you would protect me, and you said we would get married after we returned to the city. Don’t you remember any of that?”
“I’m already married. I told you before that I only consider you my sister,” Liu Jianjun retorted.
"Ha, what a little sister! What kind of brother would do such a thing to his sister?" Song Wan'er said hysterically, her eyes filled with resentment.
A militia of more than ten men arrived and took all three of them away.
The farce has temporarily subsided.
