Chapter 139: Anyway, lice don't itch when there are many, find a chance to repay slowly

~4 min read 763 words

She couldn't care about anything else. She found a basket woven from brambles she had collected from the Ge family, put it on her head, and after a great deal of effort, finally climbed to a place where she could reach it and collected the two small beehives into her space.

And let me tell you, these bees were smart. As soon as the beehive landed, they swarmed out, circled around the space, and chose the tree originally left in the space to start building their nest.

Looking at these little guys, Chuxue’s eyes were full of little stars. Before long, she would also have sweet honey to drink.

She returned from the mountain and went straight to the new house: "Uncle Liangzi, I found two trees on the mountain suitable for beams. When you have time, help me take a look. If they are suitable, we can cut them down and peel them to return to the brigade sooner."

Uncle Liangzi appreciated this girl’s character more and more; she never dragged her feet when doing things: "Fine, I’ll go with you tomorrow to take a look. If it’s okay, I’ll have people bring ropes up."

When the two side rooms were built, Uncle Liangzi also brought people to cut down and drag back the six trees approved by the village.

Chuxue found Uncle Jiu from the Liu family to help peel the bark. It was almost until the house was finished that they finally returned the ridgepole, purlins, and rafters borrowed from the village department, which was one thing off her mind.

What Chuxue didn't expect was that a few days later, Fu Yancheng came again in the big Jiefang truck.

Chuxue was still bewildered when she saw him: "Why are you here?"

"I’m off today, so I thought I’d come to help you train the puppy."

"You drove such a big truck here to train a dog for me?"

After asking, she complained in her heart: Are you serious?

She only heard Fu Yancheng cough lightly and say: "It’s like this, there was a flood in Baishan Township last year, and my comrade’s family collected a lot of sand. The village needs to clear the place where the sand is stored to build a chicken farm, and for a while, there’s no place to store the sand. I thought you were still borrowing sand, so I asked for it."

"Asked for it, for free?"

"Yes, they originally collected it to prepare for building a wedding house for their youngest son, but the youngest son found a wife in the city and went to be a live-in son-in-law, so the wedding house naturally couldn't be built. The father looked at the sand and found it an eyesore, saying he didn't want it anymore. I happened to hear them on the phone that day, so I quickly asked for it."

Hearing this, Chuxue didn't know what to say: "What if they were just saying it in anger, and you just took it away like that?"

"They really don't want it. Their youngest son fell out with the family to be a live-in son-in-law."

"But you can't just take it for free, or else..."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard Fu Yancheng say: "I helped their family with a big favor before, so this sand is just them repaying the favor. It would be bad if I really sent money. Anyway, they have no use for it. If I don't take it away, they still have to find a place to move it, which is a lot of effort. This can be considered helping them."

Chuxue thought: He repaid your favor, but doesn't that mean I owe you again?

Originally, she had thought that when the river flooded this year, she would go into the water to collect some sand to return to Uncle Liangzi’s family, but this saved her the trouble.

To be honest, she didn't really want this sand, but since he had already pulled it here, she couldn't refuse, could she?

Forget it, anyway, lice don't itch when there are many, find a chance to repay slowly.

Fu Yancheng looked at the changing expressions on the little girl’s face and probably guessed what she was thinking. He looked serious on the surface, but he was very happy inside.

He had received advice: if you want to pursue a wife, you have to be thick-skinned.

Anyway, he had set his sights on the girl in front of him, and even if he had to be shameless, he would stick to her.
