Chapter one hundred and fourteen disgusting people
Cheng Tianyuan didn't know much about Cheng Biao's family buying land to dig fish ponds.
"Then where are all his landowners? I remember that the dozen acres not far from the creek at the entrance of our village are all his, right?"
Father Cheng nodded and explained: "Not only that, but the area around the creek and extending to the mountainside belongs to his family, at least more than thirty acres."
Liu Ying quickly asked: "Is that area not within the scope of land acquisition?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "The village chief said that the neighboring village is connected to a part of our village, which is about 200 acres. His area only has a dozen acres close to the provincial road. Even if it is expropriated, it will not be much."
Father Cheng thought for a while and said: "There are still twenty or thirty acres near the river. It is not far from our village road, and there is an area that is connected to the village road."
Cheng Tianyuan remembered the words of his young wife and couldn't help but ask: "Are there many close to the village road?
"About ten acres," Cheng's father replied.
Liu Ying is timid and honest. After the last money borrowing incident, she was afraid of dealing with Cheng Biao's family.
"Ayuan, why are you asking so clearly? Is it possible that you want to buy land for him? You must not!"
Cheng Tianyuan is a cautious and steady person and explained: "I haven't made any plans yet, I just asked."
Liu Ying quickly shook her head and frowned: "You can't have such an idea! Cheng Biao's family is not easy to mess with. He and his mother-in-law are very vicious, and they quarrel and fight at every turn. And his two sons, too.
It’s so awesome, the eyebrows are so horizontal!”
Father Cheng nodded in agreement and whispered: "What your mother said makes sense. They are from the same family as us. If you buy them, they can fool you. Don't get involved, otherwise you will get into trouble."
"Yes!" Liu Yingdao said, "He has borrowed a lot of money from our family before. Some of them have written IOUs, some have not, and he refuses to acknowledge even a cent of the ones that have not been written. Those who have written IOUs, he can still yell.
I’ve already paid it back. Don’t deal with such people!”
Cheng Tianyuan also felt that his parents were right.
After eating for a while, he went upstairs to tell Xue Ling about it.
"All the land in the village belongs to the people in the village. Some of the land has been occupied by villagers, and that belongs to his family. There used to be a lot of wasteland, and whoever reclaimed it belongs to him. This is the principle. Cheng Biao and his family are all swindlers, and they buy and sell.
It is very likely that he will cheat later. Unless there is a certificate from the land deed or the village committee, we must not buy it for him."
Xue Ling naturally understood this truth and said: "It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry to buy land and invest in it."
Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "You can't work and farm in winter. Everyone is hiding in the house for the winter. Most people have no income. The Chinese New Year is coming next, and the family has to spend money to celebrate the New Year. There are still two or three days before tomorrow's harvest.
Yue, this is a time when the villagers are out of business, so no one will probably buy it for him."
When Xue Ling talked about investment, he couldn't help but think of his previous decision to resign.
"Brother Yuan, the Chinese New Year will be here in more than a month. If you want to resign after the Chinese New Year, you must make some plans and preparations first."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded, took out new paper from the drawer, and helped her copy the final draft.
"There aren't many left, are there?"
Xue Ling stretched and said with a smile: "I thought there would be no big progress in the past half month or so, but unexpectedly, except for two days on the road, I have very free time. Look, it's just a few pictures."
She raised her notebook and explained: "I will try to finish the translation tomorrow, and I will send it to Xiao Jiaxue on Monday. It will probably take more than a week for her to send the new one."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "You should also take the opportunity to rest for a few nights. Don't be too exhausted all the time."
He felt sorry for her that she still had to work part-time at night. Now that the family's finances were not so tight, he didn't want her to stay up late.
"Good!" Xue Ling responded with a smile.
It didn't snow the next day, but it was very cold and cloudy, so the whole family hid in the house.
Xue Lingze and Cheng Tianyuan worked together to translate the rest of the English book, which was completed at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Cheng Tianyuan counted and finally reported a very good number - one hundred and eight thousand words.
"Wow!" Xue Ling hugged him excitedly: "Another two thousand yuan has been credited to the account! Haha!"
Cheng Tianyuan patted her back and said, "Eat hot pot tonight and have a good rest. We all have to go to work tomorrow."
"Okay." Xue Ling couldn't help but ask, "Do you still have meat and vegetables at home?"
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here these days, and I eat and drink more than twice as much as before. I still need to reserve more, in case there is an occasional snowstorm and I can't buy food.
Cheng Tianyuan released her and picked up the coat on the hanger.
"There isn't much left. There must be nothing sold in the market in the evening. I rode to the beef shop to buy some meat and came back. I still have a lot of cabbage and radishes at home. By the way, there is also a small basket of eggs at home."
Xue Ling smiled and said, "I'll go out with you!"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and shook his head: "It's very gloomy outside. There may be light rain or snow in the evening."
Xue Ling pouted and said, "Forget it, I'll go down and sweep the yard and wait for you to come back."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan quickly went out on his bicycle.
Xue Ling tidied up her desk, drank a glass of warm water, put on her plush coat, and walked downstairs.
Father Cheng and Mother Cheng were in the room, one was knitting and the other was fiddling with wool, chatting in low voices.
She didn't bother, went downstairs to get a broom and dustpan, and opened the iron door.
In the past two days, my mother-in-law has been cleaning the house, but the old man's house is all dirt in the countryside, so he doesn't have the habit of sweeping the door.
She didn't clean the yard. She had been away for more than half a month recently, and there was a lot of garbage accumulated in the yard, as well as some weeds and household waste brought in from outside.
Xue Ling swept the large garbage into the dustpan first, and then started sweeping it.
After a while, she felt a strange gaze falling on her, and she instinctively looked up - only to see Ouyang Xiang leaning on the gate of the yard next door, staring at her with a serious smile.
He was wearing a nice crocodile leather jacket, but it was dirty. His face was full of bruises, and his chin was covered with gray-green stubble. He was touching his beer belly with one hand and stroking his chin with the other. When he saw her looking over, he could not help but tease her ambiguously.
Pick up your chin.
Xue Ling almost vomited!
Disgusting!
She rolled her eyes, turned around and continued sweeping the floor, speeding up a lot.
Ouyang Xiang chuckled and waved to her.
"Hello, sister-in-law! I went to the wrong door last time and didn't have time to say hello to you, sister-in-law. I finally had the chance to meet you today. You should know me, right?"
Xue Ling didn't even raise his head and said quietly: "I don't know him."
"Ah?! That's impossible!" Ouyang Xiang ran over in a flash. Fortunately, there was a fence blocking him, otherwise he would have had to squeeze over. He hurriedly explained: "I know your family, Cheng Tianyuan! Our homes are not far away.
!Chengjia Village and Ouyang Village both belong to the same association, a big village!"
"Oh." Xue Ling responded coldly.
Ouyang Xiang stared at her exquisite figure and swallowed secretly.
"Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you much! I heard that you work in a newspaper office, and today is Sunday off, right? No wonder I finally see you!"
