"Brother, were you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Gu Xiaoer took advantage of the rare opportunity and immediately grabbed his brother's pigtail.

Gu Yongan didn't bother to pay attention to him, but said to Zheng Juzi without question: "Don't say anything, I won't agree."

"We're so familiar with each other, and you're not willing to help with such a small favor?" Zheng Juzi protested.

Gu Xiaoer also shouted: "Brother, just help Xiaojuzi."

Gu Yongan glared at him, and he knew your ancestor had forgotten who your brother was? "I won't take your money."

"What does it matter?" Zheng Juzi thought this matter was too easy to solve. "I'll take Second Brother Gu's money, and you can use my savings certificates to buy him a few houses in Shanghai, isn't that enough?"

"Buy a house?" Gu Yongan/Gu Xiaoer asked in unison.

"Yes, you will definitely want Second Brother Gu to live with you in Shanghai next year. Buy a few houses, one for Second Brother Gu to have a place to live when he arrives, and rent out the rest to help Second Brother Gu save some money for marrying a daughter-in-law."

"He's alone in the town with so much money. What if he does something bad? I wouldn't be able to sleep well in the Magic City if I were you.

Why don't you take most of his money with you? If you need help, you can give him the money later. If you don't need to, you can buy a few houses in his name. They are all his assets. You won't take advantage of him, and I can save the trouble of going to Shanghai to withdraw money, right?"

Gu Yongan: That seems to be the case.

Gu Xiaoer: Why do I feel like you sold me out?

Zheng Juzi looked up at him, wondering if it was because of her mentality, why did she feel that everyone around her had grown taller but she hadn't?

So anxious.

"Didn't you say you believed me?!" Zheng Juzi asked with a questioning tone.

Gu Xiaoer was innocent. He didn't say a word of objection. "I...I will listen to you."

Gu Yongan...this guy is my biological brother. He is born of the same mother and cannot represent me.

"Okay, don't worry. It won't be a loss if you use some of the money to buy a house in Shanghai. You should study hard this year, and I will help you make big money in the future." Zheng Juzi said with some pride.

Gu Xiaoer immediately absorbed the encouragement she gave him.

Gu Yongan confirmed again: This brother can no longer be kept.

Building a road in the village is a big deal. After the town government confirmed that there were no problems with the cement and the machines, the village chief did not delay in calling all the villagers to a meeting.

It will take at least a month from the time the road is built until it is open to traffic. If we don’t start repairing it now, we might have to wait until next year.

“The town can still provide support for the road construction this time, but who can say whether such good things will happen next year?” the village chief said at the meeting.

It's not that it can't be repaired with manpower alone, but the problem is that one machine does the work of many people, and the autumn harvest is just around the corner, so we can't miss the opportunity.

The content of the meeting was also very simple. The road construction was mainly funded by Zheng Guixiang's family, followed by the Ma family, the village chief's family, Zheng Laoliu's family, and Lin Gensheng's family. Each household in the village contributed one strong laborer.

The village will arrange for several families whose fields will be affected by the road construction to be given a piece of land elsewhere or compensation.

At that time, there was no concept of nail households. Everyone was relatively obedient to the village chief's arrangements and no problems arose. The only problem was Luo Guaizi's family, which the village chief had been worried about.

It is true that their house is a dilapidated one, but it can still be lived in. Luo Guaizi limped on one leg and said, "Village chief, I know that my house is not worth 100 yuan. You gave me so much subsidy to take care of me, but I can't build a house with 100 yuan. Without a house, my mother and I have no place to stay. How can we live?"

The village chief also knows this, but he cannot give too much in subsidies, otherwise those whose land is occupied will also complain.

Someone nearby asked, "Luo Guaizi, road construction is a big deal for the village. If you have any requests, please tell us first and see if we can help you solve them."

Luo Guaizi had no other requests: "I just want a house. Whoever brings a house in exchange, I will give him my homestead."

The villagers were not happy. Although Luo Guaizi's land was on the side of the road, it would have to be set back several meters after the road was built. There was no mountain in front and no water behind, and there were no neighbors around.

There is no running water in the village, and most people like to build their houses close to a water source. Zheng Guixiang chose a relatively remote location for this reason so that his family can have convenient access to water.

In order not to delay the road construction, several people discussed this matter. Zheng Guixiang meant to give his house to the third brother, Zheng Maocai would give 1200 yuan to his younger brother, his own house would be given to Luo Guaizi's family, and Luo Guaizi's homestead would be given to Zheng Guixiang.

The problem was solved by this exchange, but everyone in the village felt that Zheng Guixiang suffered a loss.

Red brick houses are still very popular nowadays. Zheng Guixiang's house was added with half a floor this year and tiled. Even if the furniture is moved out, the decoration is still the best in the village. Not to mention 1200 yuan, there are people willing to buy it even for 2000 yuan.

The old house of Zheng Maocai is definitely worth more than 100 yuan, but it is not worth 800 yuan either. He and Luo Guaizi both got a great bargain in this matter.

Zheng Guixiang originally disagreed. Their house was very nice. Even if it was not as grand as the Ma family's, it was still the best in the village. It would be too much of a loss to exchange it for a residential plot and 1200 yuan.

However, this matter was strongly recommended by the eldest daughter. In their family, Zheng Hanqiu's reputation is much higher than Zheng Juzi's.

Zheng Hanqiu naturally had his own reasons. "When the village builds a road in the future, the residential land on the roadside will definitely be better than ours. Although our location is not remote, there is a house in front of us that blocks the way. It is not visible now, and it will be very inconvenient in the future without a place to park."

Zheng Guixiang's understanding is certainly not that if his family can buy a car and the tractor can drive in, then it's fine.

Zheng Hanqiu's second reason was, "It's close to the farm. You and mom can just call us at the factory and we'll go help you."

This is Zheng Hanqiu's main purpose. The distance from the farm to the town is almost the same as the distance from her home. Three points form a triangle. If she really wants to calculate it more accurately, the residential land she will choose will be closer to the town, which can save a few steps.

The most important thing is that by moving to the breeding farm, she can avoid the route that has to pass through the Yu Miao Primary School. This can prevent problems before they happen, so she doesn't mind spending a little more money.

Moreover, when building a new house, she can build a toilet inside the house, so she doesn’t have to go downstairs or to the backyard to use the toilet late at night - the eldest lady’s goal is so simple.

Zheng Guixiang was also moved by the close distance. He actually felt very guilty about the way his children were taken care of in the past. He agreed on the spur of the moment because he could give the children better.
