Chapter 119 Bringing up the topic of building houses again
"Oh, it's only early summer, and it's already raining so heavily. There are still three months to go. I don't know how we're going to get through this," Lin Luoxi said, seeing Lin Wangshi clutching her back in exhaustion. She went over to her with concern, took the basin of water from Lin Wangshi's hands, and poured it outside.
Seeing that the rainwater had already reached her feet, Lin Luoxi thought to herself, "This house is so dilapidated, it's better to live in a cave."
"Mother, how about we build a house?" Looking at the roof that was leaking so much rainwater, and the furniture and beds in the house that were completely soaked and unusable, Lin Luoxi brought up the matter again.
"Ah! Building a house for you will cost a lot of money. Where are we going to get so much money?" Lin Wangshi was worried about the money, not about the old man causing trouble at the door.
"How about I go to your maternal grandmother's house and see if I can borrow some money, even just to build a tiled house?" Lin Wangshi was also tired of the house leaking every summer. Looking at her daughter's hopeful eyes, she hesitated before saying it.
"Mother, no need. I still have money to build the house. The main problem is that I talked to Father this morning, and he said he was afraid the Lin family would cause trouble, so he said he wouldn't build it." Lin Luoxi betrayed Lin Dayou at this moment.
"What? He really said that? If he's so afraid of the Lin family, he might as well go back and be a dutiful son." Damn it, who would choose to live a life where it's raining heavily outside and inside when they can have a good life?
When Lin Wangshi heard that Lin Dayou disagreed, she wished she could rush out and fight with him immediately.
Since he's willing to live in such a dilapidated house, then let him live in it while he and his children go and enjoy a better life.
“Daughter, how about this? We won’t build the new house here anymore. We’ll build it next door. Since your father is willing to live in this kind of house, we’ll leave this lousy house for him to live in.”
"As for the Lin family, daughter, you don't need to worry about them. I'll take care of everything. Let's see who dares to cause trouble." If anyone dares to stop him from living a good life, Lin Wangshi will fight them to the death, no matter who they are.
"Alright, Mother, I'll do as you say. I'll go find the village chief right now." Lin Luoxi hadn't expected Lin Wangshi to be so domineering and agree so readily.
Not daring to delay for a moment, he picked up the raincoat hanging on the wall and braved the heavy rain to go to the village chief's house.
"Mother, will we soon have a new house to live in?" Lin Wentao and Lin Luoning naturally overheard the conversation between Lin Luoxi and Lin Wangshi.
Upon seeing Lin Luoxi run out, the two of them excitedly ran over to ask Lin Wangshi, hoping to get an answer from her.
“Well, but your father might not agree…” Seeing the children’s happy expressions, Madam Lin nodded and then brought up Lin Dayou.
“It’s alright, Mother. If Father doesn’t agree, then we’ll do as you say. Let Father stay here, and we’ll live in the new house. That way, Father won’t be so worried about this and that…” Lin Wentao had just heard what Lin Wangshi said, and naturally he agreed with Lin Wangshi’s approach.
"Mother, I think our family should build a new house. We're using my sister's money to build it now, but when I'm successful, I'll definitely repay her double," Lin Wenqian chimed in.
"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time." Lin Dayou, who had just come down from the roof, couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw the children chatting happily with Lin Wangshi in the leaky house.
The rain was pouring down from the roof, making a loud splashing sound. He was busy repairing the roof and naturally didn't hear the conversation inside, nor did he know that his family had already made arrangements for his future.
“Of course we’re chatting. Once our new house is built, we’ll separate from you, and you’ll live here alone.” Lin Wangshi wasn’t so angry when she didn’t see Lin Dayou.
Seeing Lin Dayou now, and hearing his voice, makes me furious.
She had been married to Lin Dayou for so many years, and she had never realized that Lin Dayou was the kind of person who liked to endure hardship. No wonder she had always suffered so much after being with Lin Dayou for so many years.
Fortunately, the children have grown up, and she can now enjoy life with them.
"What? What new house?" Does his wife already know that Lin Luoxi is going to build a big house?
"Yes, our new house." Seeing Lin Dayou's feigned ignorance, Madam Lin became even angrier, and her attitude towards him naturally didn't improve.
"Daya told you?" Judging from Lin Wangshi's expression, Lin Dayou felt that there was something else going on.
"Uncle Dayou, it's getting late, I should head back now." Xie Hanchuan sensed something was wrong and quickly said he was about to leave.
"Brother Hanchuan, you've been busy all morning. Stay and have lunch first. We'll go to the kitchen to cook now..." Since Xie Hanchuan had helped repair the roof, Lin Wenqian naturally wouldn't let Xie Hanchuan leave hungry.
"This..." Xie Hanchuan hesitated. After all, it was a bit inappropriate for an outsider like him to be there when something was about to happen.
"Han Chuan, why don't you stay for lunch before you go back? You've been busy with me all morning, you must be hungry..." Lin Dayou didn't understand his current situation and tried to persuade Xie Han Chuan to stay.
"Brother Hanchuan, we're about the same height. Let me take you to change into some dry clothes!" Lin Wenqian said, afraid that Xie Hanchuan would refuse again, so he pulled Xie Hanchuan towards his room.
As soon as Lin Wangshi saw Xie Hanchuan and Lin Wenqian leave, she immediately grabbed the ruler that Doctor Yang had left there and started hitting Lin Dayou with it.
"Smack!"
"My daughter said she wants to build a house. Did you say it was wrong?"
"You're really something, you're willing to live this kind of life, don't drag us down with you."
"Don't worry, if you want to live here, we won't force you. Once our daughter finishes building the house, we'll let you continue living here..."
While whipping Lin Dayou, Madam Lin scolded him.
"Wife, wife, listen to me..." Lin Dayou was being whipped by Lin Wangshi and didn't dare to fight back. He could only beg for mercy and explain at the same time.
"Don't listen to your nonsense. My daughter said you're afraid the Lin family will cause trouble. I think that's just an excuse."
"No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than the government? We need the government's approval to build houses, and they dare to interfere..." Putting aside the Lin family, Lin Wangshi was a virtuous wife and a good mother.
Now, whenever the Lin family is mentioned, Lin Wangshi instantly becomes like a cat with its fur standing on end, vigorously striking Lin Dayou with the ruler.
"Wife, wife, calm down. I figured it out when I was on the roof. I was thinking of bringing up the house building with our daughter again when I came down."
"I thought, life is our own, we just need to live our own lives well, there's no need to be afraid of this or that, let's build a house!"
"As for the money to build the house, let my daughter pay for it first, and I'll pay her back when I go out and earn money. What do you think..." Lin Dayou, having been beaten and terrified, revealed all his thoughts and plans.
