Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 939 House Sale
The crowd was chattering away, but no one dared to take advantage. After all, it was Old Yang’s house, and they knew he was capable, so no one dared.
Fu Xiaoping helped Wang Shulin load the truck, and everyone naturally envied them. A woman approached Zhao Xiaoli, saying, "Zhao Zhiqing, can you sell me some of this coal? Just two bags will do."
Zhao Xiaoli noticed that this was a typically nice and agreeable aunt, so she smiled and nodded. "Auntie, it’s only because you asked; we don’t have enough coal for ourselves. If you really want it, we can share one cartload with you, but that’s all we can spare."
"Thank you, Zhao Zhiqing. I’m using a handcart." Her daughter-in-law was due to have a baby in a few days, and if they could light a stove inside, it would be much warmer.
Others were tempted, but felt it was inappropriate to ask after hearing the explanation.
This time Ding Xiaojuan came along with Chen Hui.
The main reason was that Zhao Xiaoli had been kind to the couple, and now that they’re moving away, they felt they should come over and say a few words.
Zhao Xiaoli noted Ding Xiaojuan’s improved health.
"You look well-nourished."
"Yes, thanks to the doctor’s advice to drink goat’s milk, and thanks to the villagers for selling it to us."
"It’s good your health is recovering."
"Zhao Zhiqing, Lv Zhiqing, you’re both moving away?"
"Yes, we’ve transferred our relationship to Li Family Village, where we have relatives and people to look after us."
"That’s great."
They both just smiled. It truly was nice.
"We’ll have fewer chances to meet now."
"Absolutely, with the cold weather now and busy times ahead when it warms up."
"Thank you for all your care before," Ding Xiaojuan sincerely expressed.
"It’s fate that brought us here to meet; we will certainly lend a hand whenever we can."
Chen Hui ordered four cartloads of coal, and Old Yang charged him four yuan, while that aunt paid him one yuan. It couldn’t be free since so many were watching.
At that moment, Chaoyang and the others returned.
Wei Kaiyun instructed him to dump the coal directly into the courtyard, making it easier to load onto the truck.
The educated youths all came to help again, speeding up the process.
The remaining coal was loaded onto a truck, leveled out, and taken out to load branches.
Wang Shulin pulled aside Chaoyang, "Nephew, can you and Xiang Dong help me?"
"Uncle Wang, are we picking up the tractor?"
"Yes, I need you two to drive the tractor back and teach our village people how to drive along the way."
"Uncle Wang, no problem here. I’ll go tell Xiang Dong. When you’re ready to leave, just let us know."
"Chaoyang, I’ll find someone to inform you tomorrow when we’re leaving; the latest is the day after tomorrow, but it’s most likely the day after."
"Alright, we’ll be waiting at home."
Of course Chaoyang wouldn’t refuse. The relationship between him and Dad was good, and people had let go of Jing Chu so willingly, with mutual gratitude, and they’re relatives now, so refusal was out of the question.
"You’re great. Thank you very much."
"Uncle Wang, saying that is too formal."
The ten or so bundles of branches left outside were given to Fu Xiaoping.
Thus they were free of any lingering obligations in Jin Family Village.
Zhao Xiaoli gazed at the fast-retreating scenery outside the car window, "We probably won’t have the chance to come again, will we?"
"Yes." Jing Chu sighed, not having seen her two friends Xiao Liu and Little Ju today.
They reached home after dark, and on the way, Chaoyang called a few people over, so the unloading was done within half an hour.
Jiang Xinyu invited them to dine, they initially refused, but when Wei Kaiyun spoke up, they obediently stayed. Actually, the enticing aroma of meat had their stomachs rebelling long ago.
Now Jing Chu felt secure; she was officially an educated youth in Li Family Village. It felt wonderful.
Chaoyang looked at her smile, sharing in the happiness.
He drove the tractor to the brigade headquarters, drained the water, cleaned the truck bed, and even rinsed it with water. This tractor was truly precious.
He hurried home to tell Dad about going with Wang Shulin to pick up the tractor.
"You should go."
"Yeah, Wang Shulin said it’s likely the day after tomorrow and someone will come by to inform us tomorrow."
"Fine."
"Dad, I’m going to Teacher Jiang’s house for dinner."
Chaoyang hurried to the Wei Family, not wanting to keep them waiting. Moreover, he wondered if they had sorted the firewood yet?
The women and children dined inside today, setting two tables directly in the side room.
Lu Tiezhu also came today, having spent all day at the pesticide factory with Han Xiangjun watching them cast corn machines and not complaining of boredom.
"Can we go up the mountain tomorrow? We’re running out of good food at home." Han Xiangjun disdainfully looked at the two homebodies, thinking they were no longer the Xiao Wei and Old Yang he knew.
"Let’s go, up the mountain tomorrow."
Lu Tiezhu envied their mountain outings, but he couldn’t leave as there were too many people needing machines and ten new apprentices he couldn’t abandon.
Jiang Xinyu already knew Old Yang had sold his house and thought it was good; once their family left, they would sell the house too, as keeping it would serve no purpose.
"Xinyu, we’re not building a house; we’ll live at your place." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"No problem, building too many houses serves no purpose; there will certainly be a day we leave together."
Jiang Xinyu often spoke like this, and in Jing Chu and Zhao Xiaoli’s hearts, they felt the same way. They were certain they could leave.
After dinner, everyone went home. They all washed up and rested individually.
Finally feeling settled, Jing Chu was very excited, writing a letter to Dad filled with joy.
Wei Kaiyun hugged his wife, "It’s really the busy days that make me feel indulgent.
I have no thought of leaving now, don’t want to do anything, just want to stay by your side."
Jiang Xinyu squinted her eyes, obediently leaning on Wei Kaiyun, chatting half-heartedly.
"This lifestyle can easily erode one’s spirit."
"I have no spirit to speak of. Wife, child, and warm bed, what else could be better?"
"As long as you’re happy, it’s fine, honestly, even if you want to stay here for life, I wouldn’t mind, I’ll accompany you."
"Thank you, thank you."
The man’s excitement manifested as a seemingly endless thankfulness, eventually calmed only by Jiang Xinyu’s pinches.
"You still need to go up the mountain tomorrow."
"With the sleeping potion Feifei prepared, there’s no danger, and there’s a gun, after all."
"Slow and steady wins the race, besides, you should settle the score with Li Yunqiang in a couple of days and split the money with Shuanzi and the others."
"Yes, I’ve been thinking about that, but things have been so chaotic."
