"Please speak, Madam." Since it was a mutually beneficial matter, Shen Banxia did not refuse.
She doesn't feel ashamed to earn money through her own abilities.
"Here's the thing, I'm planning to move to Zhoujiazhuang, and my friend will be coming with me. I'll need your help to recuperate."
"good".
After these matters were settled, Madam Zhou did not linger.
After the group left, the villagers who had come to watch the spectacle gradually dispersed.
One by one, they went home and talked about what happened today. In the past, they thought Mingqian's wife was promising, but now, she is even more promising than before.
They had only heard about all those wonderful things from others, and they couldn't help but feel envious.
How come Zhou Mingqian is so lucky? Just a few days ago, I heard that he wanted to build a new house, and everyone thought he was too ambitious.
Yes, they also felt that Shen Banxia and her husband shouldn't be living in the village clinic. After all, it's a place for medical treatment, so why should they be allowed to live there?
In their village, many houses leak when it rains, and people are living in cramped conditions.
The matter eventually escalated to the brigade headquarters, and Zhou Mingqian and his wife paid money, but some people were still upset.
And so, news broke that Zhou Mingqian was planning to borrow money to build a house.
Everyone's secretly laughing at Zhou Mingqian. Don't be fooled by the fact that he's a purchasing agent now; impressions of someone don't change overnight.
They never even considered borrowing money; besides, these days, you can't keep a penny at home.
But now that high-ranking officials are thanking Shen Banxia, do they still need money?
When Zhou Mingqian came back from get off work, they all grabbed him and wouldn't let go, saying "Congratulations!"
Zhou Mingqian was completely confused, but after he understood, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Even though he didn't solve it, as long as the final result is good, that's fine.
He's not the kind of person who can't stand seeing his wife being more capable than him.
Soon, Zhou Mingqian asked the villagers for help, and as for the private "thank yous," those who know, know.
Zhou Mingqian and Shen Banxia were making a big show of building a house, leaving Zhou's father completely dumbfounded.
That day, he stopped Zhou Mingqian, who was about to go home, his voice filled with barely concealed anger, "Boss, do you really want the whole village to laugh at us before you're happy, huh? What have I done to wrong you? Do you really enjoy having people gossip about me behind my back? Didn't I tell you that unless I die, none of you will get any sleep?"
Zhou Mingqian spread his hands, "Dad, I didn't mention dividing the family property. I'm just listening to Mom and not getting in her way. Is that not allowed?"
Zhou's father choked, "Eldest son, do you have to talk like that? Your mother already knows she was wrong, do you really expect her to kneel down and beg you?"
Zhou Mingqian quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "Dad, I think you're the one who wants the whole village to talk behind my back. Banxia and I are outside now, aren't we also helping the family? After all, you said that the family doesn't have enough food, and Banxia and I are now able to make a living."
This is the biggest mistake Zhou's father felt he had made. Why didn't he stop him back then?
"How can you build without land?" After all, he is the team leader. If he doesn't approve it, what can the boss do?
"Oh, about this matter, I asked the Party Secretary for help."
"You, do you really want everyone to laugh at you? You even went to see your Grandfather, the Party Secretary, you, you..." Zhou's father was speechless for a long time.
Finally, he helplessly left with the words, "Your second, third, and fourth brothers will help you when the time comes."
"Then thank you very much, Dad," Zhou Mingqian said, not foolishly refusing, since having more people would make building the house faster.
Mr. Zhou felt a lump in his throat, a deep sense of unease gripping his heart.
Suddenly, he remembered what his wife had told him, "Oh right, your fourth brother's fiancée is coming to visit in a few days. You and your wife should both come over. Also, your sister is getting married soon. You two, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, should keep that in mind."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Zhou Mingqian to say anything.
Zhou Mingqian shrugged. Perfect, his wife's been bored lately, it'll be good for her to go see a show.
However, he later regretted his decision countless times.
Right now, Zhou Mingqian went home and eagerly told Shen Banxia all about it.
"Wife, do you think we should find a time to start construction?"
"No need, every day is a good day. The sooner it's built, the sooner we can move in."
"Honey, how about I suddenly go look for some roof tiles? Thatched roofs are never a good idea. Didn't you say it was going to rain heavily later?"
"Okay, you figure something out," he said, and handed him the money directly.
To be honest, Mrs. Zhou was quite generous, giving two hundred yuan directly.
I have no idea what kind of person her friend is.
However, since she was paying people to treat their illnesses, Shen Banxia wouldn't ask too many questions.
"Hehe, wife, do you think I've become a 'soft rice bowl'? I must say, it really is quite delicious," Zhou Mingqian said with a smile.
"Isn't this fulfilling your original wish?" Shen Banxia teased.
"yes".
Time flew by as we chatted and laughed.
Zhou Mingqian was busy finding people to make adobe bricks and ram the earthen walls. For safety, he even went to Lin Village to find an old master craftsman who used to specialize in repairing houses.
