Cheng Muhai hesitated: "There is no one left in her family. She is the only one left who is crazy and has a son who is in jail. It will take more than ten years for that son to be released from prison. No, only ten years."
Xue Ling nodded and explained: "I understand what you mean, dad. Because she also has a son, it is even harder to buy it for her. If his son is successfully reformed, he will definitely return to the village after he is released from prison. When he arrives at the village
The old man in the Changhe tribe explained it clearly to him, saying that he sold the fish pond to treat his old mother's illness, but what if he doesn't agree?"
Cheng Muhai was stunned and speechless for a moment.
He had been in contact with the Cheng Biao family for many years and knew their tough and unreasonable temperament. One son died, the other was in jail, and the one in jail was jailed for hurting his own brother.
For such a cruel and ruthless person, even if he undergoes transformation and changes, his fierce and fierce style may be difficult to change.
Xue Ling explained: "If he can change, then there should be nothing wrong with him. If he can't change, and he is even angry with the village chief for making the decision without authorization, and comes to the door to ask for the fish pond, what should he do? Even if we have formal procedures to go through it,
, it’s troublesome enough for him to come and make trouble every two days. Whether we are buying land or a house, we must keep one thing in mind - don’t buy blindly, try to do first-hand transactions, and
It's just income, don't leave a little tail to clean up later, it will be troublesome."
Cheng Tianyuan echoed: "Dad, Lingling and I have the same reason. Aunt Biao and her family are notoriously cruel in the village. Are there many unreasonable things they do? You have helped them a lot before, and they remember it."
Did they accept your favor? Later, when our family couldn't survive, we asked him to borrow money to treat you. What did they do? Lingling and I came to ask for money the day after we got married. If we didn't pay back, they would force us to sell our land.
?You should not continue to associate with such people."
He snorted softly on the tip of his nose and whispered: "Now their family is in a state of decline. They are killing each other. Everyone is dead, some are in jail, and some are crazy. For the sake of the fellow villagers, let's try our best to help with some money.
Help. As for buying and selling fish ponds, I think it’s better to forget it. Otherwise, when she wakes up later, she will say that it’s not such a thing and insist on asking for it back. Maybe her son will come out of jail and make a fuss.
, how upsetting that is!”
Cheng Muhai sighed softly when he heard this, "Well, you have been thinking long-term and have this concern."
Xue Ling explained: "I have bought enough land in the village, plus the dozens of acres our family originally owned, it is really enough. The village chief also said that our family occupies almost a quarter of the entire village.
Land. If the mountainous land is not included, then our family accounts for more than 30%, which is really a lot! I am not interested in fish ponds or anything like that. I even said that I would give some money to help, so I didn’t buy it."
"Yes, I won't buy it." Cheng Tianyuan said firmly.
Liu Ying on the side listened to the general idea and couldn't help but muttered: "What do you always say about their family's affairs? It's really unlucky to celebrate the Chinese New Year! The reason why their family has reached this point is because of themselves.
. He knows how to bully people all day long. There is no family in the village who is not afraid of his family. If it were not so miserable to see a crazy woman, and the village chief is also a kind-hearted person, who would care about her? Don't let A Yuan and his wife buy them.
I don’t agree with home stuff!”
"Okay, okay." Seeing that his wife was also angry, Cheng Muhai hurriedly coaxed: "Don't be like this, isn't this discussed? I didn't say I wanted to buy it, I just gave them a reference."
Liu Yinglue shouted loudly: "Don't buy it! Don't buy it! Don't listen to your father! He is born with a soft heart, and his good intentions often go unrewarded! When he was in the county town, people from the village would come to him every day.
They borrowed money from him, and he tightened his belt and gave a little to everyone. But except for a few more upright people, no one else paid him back. Later, our family couldn't survive, and our children couldn't go to college.
He works in the county town, and he is sick at home every day, who has taken care of him?"
"Mom, okay, okay." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "You are exaggerating. We still help each other. The village chief has always been a caring person. He will take care of every family in the village.
It’s clear. He has asked many people to help our family! You are going too far!”
Liu Ying was embarrassed and couldn't say any more.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at his father and whispered: "Mom was just excited for the moment, nothing else."
Cheng Muhai is a very honest man and said warmly: "My son is right, we still help each other. We are from Chengjia Village and we cannot forget our roots. We came from there and our roots are there."
"Yes." Xue Ling said with a smile: "What Dad said is so reasonable. People can't forget their roots. We should try our best to do it as much as we can. In the countryside, we were a family hundreds of years ago, and we probably didn't even have a few hundred.
Please help as much as you can."
With Xue Ling saying this, Liu Ying couldn't say anything else.
"Just make arrangements. Ayuan will go to the village chief in the afternoon. You and Lingling will discuss how much it will cost. Then give the village chief two packs of cigarettes. He is indeed a kind-hearted person."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement.
Cheng Muhai chuckled and whispered: "I'll go there too. I didn't go back to the village to celebrate the New Year this time, so I might as well go back and have a look."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan replied, "I'll go there after I'm full at noon."
After some simple preparations, everyone went out happily.
The whole family squeezed into the elevator and quickly arrived below.
"Godfather! Godmother! Uncle and aunt, happy New Year!" I saw Ahu standing outside the elevator, holding a small net bag in his hand, with a few big red oranges in it.
"I was planning to go up to give you New Year greetings! Just as I was about to press the elevator button, I noticed someone coming down - who would I have bumped into!"
Everyone walked out of the elevator one after another and laughed.
Xue Ling liked to eat sour food when she was pregnant, so she quickly asked Ahu for a big orange, broke it open and ate it.
"Mom! Want it!" Xiao Ranran shouted.
Xue Ling quickly broke off a piece and gave it to him, and then distributed it to others.
"Ahu, these oranges are delicious! They're quite sweet!"
Ahu laughed and explained: "A friend of mine gave it to me, it's very sweet!"
Cheng Muhai gave Ahu a red envelope and explained: "You are not married yet. According to our tradition, you have to send a red envelope. I wish you a big fortune in the new year and a good wife."
"Thank you, godfather!" Ahu smiled and took it.
Ahu heard that they were going to visit the temple fair and immediately said: "I want to go too!"
Liu Ying asked: "Where is your mother? Bring her along and join in the fun."
Ahu said with a smile: "She went to my uncle's house and said that she and my uncle would go to my cousin's house to pay New Year greetings. I am bored at home alone, so I might as well go and play with everyone. Don't dislike me! I can also help take care of Xiao Ranran!
"
"Uncle!" Xiao Ranran rushed over and plunged into his arms.
Ahu quickly kissed his little face and said with a smile: "Godfather, godmother, uncles and aunts, please take my car! My car is more comfortable to sit in!"
"Okay! It's better to take your car!"
So, in the blink of an eye, Ahu swept away the old man and the child, leaving only Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan.
Xue Ling happily ate the orange and hummed: "Someone else's car costs hundreds of thousands, but ours only costs tens of thousands. There's no comparison! There's no comparison!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly and said comfortingly: "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid. When I make money, I will also buy you a good car."
The two laughed loudly, got into their own jeep, and drove out of Wangjiangyuan behind Ahu's car.
