Chapter 77 My wife... Jiang Hanyan
Lu Chen sneered at him. His cold eyes made Tang Zhihua feel more and more guilty. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I am worried about your house. Lei San is very unreasonable."
"It's very simple. I will also build ten floors." Lu Chen smiled with a look of contempt.
Tang Zhihua and his son are the same kind of people. They think they are smart and always suspect everyone and everything with a petty mind.
"Build a ten-story house? Can you live in it?" Tang Zhihua didn't believe it. He thought Lu Chen was deceiving him. He also doubted whether his homestead had any great use. Suddenly, he didn't want to change it anymore.
But if it is not replaced, Lei San’s ten-story house will also be a big problem. The best way is for Lei San to demolish a few floors of the house.
Jiang Hanyan got angry and said, "Even if our house has 18 floors, it has nothing to do with you. Do you want to change it or not?"
"Forget it if you don't want to change it." Lu Chen added.
Tang Zhihua was very conflicted. If he didn't change it, his homestead would basically be useless and he wouldn't be able to sell it, but if he changed it he was afraid of losing out.
"Xiao Chen, can't you talk to Lei San and ask him to build fewer floors?"
Tang Zhihua still didn't give up. This was the most satisfactory solution. It all depended on whether Lu Chen was willing to help.
Jiang Han said: "Don't worry about this shit, Jin Shanshan, show us around!"
He was so hesitant and more clumsy than a woman. It made her feet itchy and she wanted to kick him.
Jin Shanshan came over majestically, flapping his wings, and his soybean-sized eyes shot out a fierce light. Tang Zhihua was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly. The wound on his son's head was caused by this rooster.
“Hehe…”
Jin Shanshan pushed Tang Zhihua over his head and forced him into a corner. If Jiang Hanyan hadn't said anything, he would have pecked him with his beak long ago.
"Change, I'll change!"
Tang Zhihua shouted loudly, feeling very aggrieved. He always felt that he had suffered a great loss and Lu Chen had taken advantage of him.
But he had no choice but to suffer the loss in silence.
However, Tang Zhihua was not in a hurry. He could still find ways to intervene in the playground project and find more problems during the inspection. There was no perfect project in the world, and he would definitely find them if he wanted to. If he delayed paying the project money, Lu Chen would definitely come to beg for mercy.
What's the use of being ruthless now? You will still be stuck in his hands later.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhihua felt much better.
Lu Chen took the title deed of the homestead and went to the Land and Resources Office with Tang Zhihua to go through the name change procedures. The name of Tang Zhihua's homestead owner was changed to Lu Chen.
"Xiao Chen, you have a good relationship with Lei San, maybe he will build a few fewer floors." Tang Zhihua deliberately tested him.
Lu Chen gave him a cold look and rode away, leaving Tang Zhihua with mixed feelings. The trouble with the homestead was solved, but he couldn't be happy.
The construction of the new playground of No. 1 Middle School began. Lin Xianghong and He Dan called over ten craftsmen, and Lei Ming was responsible for the drawings and technical supervision. The work started in full swing.
Lei San was almost done with his work, so he called Lu Chen and asked him to come to his house for dinner and bring Jiang Hanyan with him.
"I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook some delicious dishes, and you two can come over for dinner tonight."
"OK."
Lu Chen agreed.
Jiang Hanyan made dinner for Doudou. The little guy and Jin Shanshan were watching TV at home. She accompanied Lu Chen to Lei San's house and bought some fruits on the way.
"Third brother's biggest wish is to have a son. He will ask you about this later." Lu Chen reminded.
Jiang Hanyan rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's better not to give birth to a son who has no future!"
The idea of favoring boys over girls is extremely serious in Fucheng. It has nothing to do with cultural level. Many intellectuals also favor boys over girls. It should be due to the general environment. Everyone wants to have a son. If a family does not have a son, they will be looked down upon. They will not be able to stand up straight in front of relatives and friends, and their words will have no weight.
"Lei San is so rich and in his prime. If he wants to have a son so badly, why doesn't he go out and have one?"
Jiang Hanyan certainly did not support this method of having a son. She was just wondering how Lei San could remain a virgin?
Many men, after becoming rich, have illegitimate children! "He wouldn't dare."
Lu Chen's words were concise and to the point. Lei San certainly had some ulterior motives, but he was henpecked.
"Is his wife's family very powerful?" Jiang Hanyan quickly thought of the key point.
Among ten men who are afraid of their wives, eight will have powerful in-laws, and the remaining two are probably really cowards.
Lu Chen nodded and explained: "Third brother has three brothers-in-law. One is in taxation, one is in industry and commerce, and the other is in the land office. They are all cadres, and his wife is also in the finance and taxation department."
“No wonder!”
Jiang Hanyan snorted. If Lei San still wanted to stay in Fucheng, he had to behave himself, otherwise there would be nothing left in the coal mine.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In a small county like Fucheng, the culture of favors is extremely serious. No matter what you do, you have to ask for favors through connections. Even if you have to go through seventeen or eighteen twists and turns, it is still a favor. Otherwise, even a trivial matter may be delayed for ten days or half a month.
Not to mention the 1990s. Even after another 20 years, the malpractice of personal connections in small counties still exists. The direct consequence of economic backwardness is the low efficiency of doing things. Someone in the government has to say a word, but no one has to run around for it.
Lei San also lives in a self-built house, which is more magnificent than Guo He's. The three-story building is not big, but the yard is very grand, with rockery, a small lake, and pavilions. It has a Jiangnan garden and is surrounded by high walls, which looks very luxurious.
“Woof woof…”
As soon as they approached the gate, the two big dogs barked wildly, but when they saw Lu Chen, they became quiet, wagging their tails and whimpering.
"Come on, come in!"
A woman in her thirties came out and greeted them with a smile. She was wearing a tax department uniform, had small curls on her hair, and wore light makeup. She was of medium height and a little fat.
Her appearance is rather ordinary, but she has fair skin and a good temperament. This woman is Lei San's wife.
"Sister-in-law, she is my...wife Jiang Hanyan."
Lu Chen introduced Jiang Hanyan, and when he mentioned his wife, he paused.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I heard from Lu Chen a long time ago that the third brother has a virtuous wife. I have heard of you for a long time. Now that I have met you, I know that Lu Chen is wrong. Sister-in-law, you are not only a virtuous wife, but also the pillar of the prosperous family!"
Jiang Hanyan flattered exaggeratedly, and Lu Chen beside her felt a little hot on his face. When did he tell this woman that the third sister-in-law was a good wife? In fact, they all called the third sister-in-law a tigress outside.
"You have such a sweet mouth and a beautiful face. Lu Chen is so lucky to marry you."
The third sister-in-law was coaxed into smiling, and the black mole at the corner of her mouth also smiled. Her mole was the size of a soybean, located in the middle below her lip. It looked like some dirt that had not been washed clean, and it did not look good.
"Sister-in-law, I'm telling the truth."
Jiang Hanyan took her third sister-in-law's arm affectionately and walked into the living room with her. There was a flash of golden light in front of her eyes, making her eyes a little dizzy. The decoration of the Lei family was really luxurious and dazzling.
Lei San looked at Jiang Hanyan in amazement. He hadn't seen her for a while, and this flower from Fucheng seemed to be even more beautiful. He became blood boiling at the mere sight of her. This kid Lu Chen was indeed very lucky.
Next year is 2023. I wish all the babies all the best in 2023 and may things get better and better!
