"I'm an old woman who can't go out to work, so how can I have any money? This money belongs to Fubao and Hengyuan. They have a younger one and a younger one who needs to go to school, and Hengyuan will have to start a family in the future. There are so many things to spend money on.
I am old and cannot earn money for my children to spend. They earn some money and put it in my hands, but I can’t help but take care of it. Is that reasonable?
Third brother, tell me, do you want to spend your brother's money?"
The old lady ignored Li Qiuju and asked Tian Laosan directly.
This is simply a torture from the soul!
Tian Laosan tucked his things into his sleeves, his head almost buried in his chest.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mom, we're not wasting Hengyuan's money. This isn't for a dollar's interest. If we really want to calculate the interest, I wouldn't mind giving it to Hengyuan."
The old lady smiled. "Lend, that sounds nice, but can you guarantee you'll pay it back? When? Three, five, ten, twenty years?"
Tian Laosan stopped talking. He was really unsure.
"Okay, stop standing here. I have to install a meter, and that costs money."
The old lady waved her hand and drove the people away.
Li Qiuju didn't gain any advantage and felt very upset.
"Mom! Don't you have more or less? If you can't come up with thirty-five dollars, at least give us some."
"How much do you want?" asked the old lady.
Upon hearing this, Li Qiuju's face was filled with smiles again.
"Twenty yuan is enough. I've saved fifteen yuan during this period. You know I'm also a person who lives a life of ease. I save all the money I get for your eldest grandson. He'll need to build a house and get married in the future, and both of those things require money."
However, the old lady said directly: "Only five dollars."
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and opened it layer by layer, revealing five dollars in scattered coins.
"I've already set aside money for the wiring. This is the rest. If you want to use it, use it. If you don't want to, forget it. I don't expect you to pay it back. This is what I added."
The old lady knows Li Qiuju very well. If you don't spend a penny, she will keep arguing with you.
Give her a little and she will be content.
Originally, Li Qiuju wanted to borrow more, but when she heard the old lady say that this was extra for them, she immediately compromised.
"Mother is the best. Children with mothers are like treasures!"
"Okay, go back now and clean up your house. It's better for you to live a good life as a couple. If you take advantage of others, you won't have a good life."
The old lady waved her hand to send people away.
Li Qiuju walked away with her two children, smiling.
For five dollars, she would work for several days!
After Li Qiuju left, the old lady looked at Tian Chengcheng.
"Fubao, don't blame grandma for giving the money to Third Aunt. If you don't give her any, she will keep making trouble. Give her a little bit, so that we can buy some peace and quiet."
Tian Chengcheng nodded.
"Grandma, the money is yours now. You can decide for yourself. Third Aunt has also raised me for eight years, and I call her mom. It seems that for that reason, I have to help her a little bit now that I am doing well, but I can't let her go easily, otherwise she will be greedy."
Tian Chengcheng really thought so.
After all, she wants to lead the whole village to become rich, including Li Qiuju.
As long as it is under her control, letting Qiuju and Tian Laosan do more work and earn more is better than letting them just wait to be drained.
"Fubao, you are a kind child and you will definitely have a good life in the future." The old lady looked at Tian Chengcheng with emotion and felt very grateful in her heart.
After all, Tian Laosan is her biological son. She has money and can't bear to see her biological son and his family go hungry.
Poor parents in the world.
Everyone is devoted to their children and would rather suffer themselves than see their children suffer.
"Grandma, I will definitely work hard to make money. If you don't want to move out, we can rebuild this yard into a beautiful villa and hire a few caregivers to take care of you so that you can live a good life."
Tian Chengcheng said seriously.
The old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
"My dear child, I'm very happy that you have this intention. However, I don't want to be served by others. I'm not used to it. It's better to do my own things."
The next day, just after dawn.
The village chief and his entourage went out to buy building materials, while the village chief's eldest son Fang Yongrui took people to level the foundation.
For convenience, the school's foundation was chosen at the entrance of the village. It was originally a wasteland, but now it has been mined and is right at the school's doorstep.
When Tian Chengcheng went over, everyone was busy preparing the foundation.
Fang Yongrui was sweating profusely. When he saw Tian Chengcheng, he greeted her with a smile.
"Fubao, come here and see how this position is."
Tian Chengcheng enthusiastically called him "Uncle" and said with a smile, "I don't understand this. It's up to you to decide. As long as the children in the village can go to school, it's fine. They're all in our village anyway, so it doesn't matter if they walk a few more steps or a few less."
"Go back and rest. The sun will come out soon and it will burn you."
Fang Yongrui's dark face was full of smiles.
Among the four brothers, he is the most honest and capable one. He usually keeps quiet but works very hard.
I never care about whether I do more or less.
"Uncle, please work slowly and take a rest if you are tired." Tian Chengcheng said.
"Oh." Fang Yongrui agreed, but his hands did not stop moving.
They didn't have much time to build the school. The busy farming season was approaching, and they had to build the school within a month.
After looking at this, Tian Chengcheng strolled off to look for his wealthy wife.
She was leading a few aunts from the village to clean the pig offal that had been collected by the river, using wood ash to clean the pig intestines bit by bit, and there were also people who were responsible for washing vegetables.
Although it was just one meal, everyone was very happy and worked very hard.
Now we can only eat at home, whether we are full or not is another matter.
Not to mention eating meat, it is unrealistic. Moreover, because they are old and their eyesight is not good, they cannot participate in the thread cutting job in the village and cannot earn money. They are very anxious when they see young people making money day by day.
Now I can earn enough money to have a full meal and eat meat after a busy day, which makes me very happy.
"Is Fubao here? Let's have meat together at noon. I'll put more ingredients in the braised pork this time. It will definitely taste better than last time."
The rich daughter-in-law pulled the pig intestines and washed them in the river, her face full of smiles.
Because Tian Chengcheng specifically asked about her family's wages, they made a small profit this time.
Tian Chengcheng smiled and said, "Auntie is a good cook. The braised pork she makes is delicious. I'm going to have a big bowl for lunch!"
"Okay, with your small appetite, that's enough!" The daughter-in-law happily agreed.
No one else had any objections. After all, the money to build the school was paid by Fubao, so what was wrong with him just having a meal?
Tian Chengcheng felt relieved when she saw that everyone was very enthusiastic and in high spirits.
With this kind of enthusiasm, the school can be built in less than a month.
Soon, the village chief and his team bought the materials, and the tractors lined up and drove into the village...
This is the hope of the whole village.
