Chapter 932: You Cunning Girl
Editor: Henyee Translations
The way Chen Liang looked at Gu Yundong changed instantly. He pointed at her. “Alright, you cunning girl.”
Gu Yundong looked innocent. “What’s wrong with me? I didn’t do anything.”
She smiled and stood up. “Then I’ll have to trouble Uncle Chen for the rest. I’ll go back first. Shall I wait for good news from Uncle Chen?”
“Go, just go.” Chen Liang was a little vexed and did not want to see her.
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth curled up slightly. She bade farewell to Madam Zhou and turned to leave the village chief’s house.
As soon as she left, Madam Zhou, who was confused, could not help but ask, “What did you mean just now? Why did you scold her out of the blue?”
“When did I scold someone?” Chen Liang suddenly raised his head and asked in shock. Who did he scold? Why didn’t he have any impression of it?
Madam Zhou pointed at the door. “Didn’t you just say that Yundong is very cunning?”
“Isn’t she cunning?” Chen Liang said, “She said that she wanted to build a road for the village today, but she bought a few pieces of foundation yesterday.”
Madam Zhou looked confused. Chen Liang felt even more vexed and could only explain, “Think about it. The road she mentioned is built from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the village. It’s the closest to those foundations. Just wait. When that road is built, if anyone wants to buy a foundation in the future, most of them will choose that area. If more people choose this, won’t the price of the foundation increase?”
Everyone in Yongfu Village was living a good life now. As far as he knew, there were a few families who wanted to buy another piece of land to build a house because they had too many people in the house and couldn’t expand it in their original location.
Madam Zhou understood now and immediately clapped her hands. “Aiyo, isn’t that so? Husband, let’s hurry up and buy a piece of land over there while everyone doesn’t know about this.”
“Why are we buying land? Isn’t this house enough for you to live in?” Their green brick tiled house had only been built for less than ten years. It was big and spacious. Their house was spacious enough, so there was no need to buy it.
“It’s enough for us, but if Eldest Son and Second Son give birth to more children in the future, won’t it be crowded? If you buy it, you can let your grandson stay.”
Chen Liang glanced at her and did not say anything.
Madam Zhou hit him. “I’m talking to you. Hurry up.”
“What are you rushing for? Anyone can buy this foundation, but not our family.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m the village chief of Yongfu Village. At this juncture, I buy the foundation and immediately talk about building the road. What will the villagers think of me? Using my power for personal gain?”
Madam Zhou choked and immediately stopped talking.
Therefore, as the village chief, there were advantages and disadvantages.
Chen Liang sighed and explained further, “Besides, our two sons will be successful in the future and will definitely go further and further. When the time comes, wouldn’t it be better to go to the county city or even buy a house in the prefectural city? In the village, it’s enough to have an old house to live in. There’s no need to spend that money.”
Madam Zhou reacted. She had been a little possessed just now.
When she heard that the price of the foundation at the foot of the mountain might increase, she was a little anxious and did not think carefully about whether her family needed it.
Seeing that she understood, Chen Liang stood up. “Alright, you can cook first. I’ll go out.”
With that, he left and went to Sixth Grandfather’s house.
Madam Zhou watched him leave and thought of what Gu Yundong had said just now. She sighed faintly.
They were both women, but why was she not as smart and useful as Gu Yundong?
