Chapter 142: Too Many Lice Don't Itch; Find a Chance to Repay Slowly

She paid no heed to anything else, found a basket woven from thorny branches that she had previously collected from the Ge family in her space, placed it over her head, and after exerting immense effort, finally climbed to a spot within arm's reach, storing the two small beehives in her space.

To be honest, these bees were smart; as soon as the hive touched the ground, they swarmed out, circled once within the space, and chose the tree that had originally been left there to begin building their nest.

Looking at these little creatures, Liu Chuxue's eyes were filled with stars; before long, she would be able to drink sweet honey.

Returning from the mountain, she went straight to the new house: "Uncle Liangzi, I found two trees on the mountain suitable for beams; when you have time later, please take a look. If they are suitable, we can cut them down, peel them, and return them to the brigade sooner."

Uncle Liangzi admired this girl's character more and more; she never dragged her feet when doing things: "Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow to take a look. If it works, we'll have someone take ropes up there."

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

Liu Chuxue found Ninth Uncle Liu from the Liu family to come help peel the bark; it was only when the house was nearly finished that she finally returned the main beams, purlins, and rafters borrowed from the village committee, thus settling that matter.

What Liu Chuxue did not expect was that a few days later, Fu Yan Cheng drove the large Jiefang truck over again.

When Liu Chuxue saw him, she was still dazed: "Why have you come over?"

"I have the day off, so I thought I'd come over to help you train the puppy."

"You drove such a huge truck over just to train my dog?"

After asking, she internally complained: Are you serious?

Fu Yan Cheng merely coughed lightly and said: "Here's the situation. Last year, Baishan Township suffered a great flood, and my comrade's family dredged up quite a lot of sand. The place where the sand was stored is needed by the village to build a chicken farm, and there is nowhere to store the sand for the time being. I thought since the sand at your place was borrowed, I would ask for it."

"Ask for it? Given for free?"

"Yes. They originally dredged it to build a wedding house for their youngest son, but the youngest son found a wife in the city and became a matrilocal son-in-law, so naturally, the wedding house will not be built. Seeing the sand as an eyesore, his father announced he didn't want it. Coincidentally, I overheard them talking on the phone that day and quickly asked for it."

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

"They really don't want it. Their youngest son caused a family rift to become a matrilocal son-in-law."

"Still, you can't just take their sand for free. How about..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yan Cheng said: "I previously helped their family with a major favor; consider this sand as their repayment of that debt. If they really gave money, it would be awkward. Anyway, keeping it is useless to them. If I hadn't taken it away, they would have to find a place to move it, which is very troublesome. This counts as helping them."

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

Originally, she had planned to wait until the river flooded this year to go into the water and dredge some sand to repay Uncle Liangzi's family, but this made things much simpler.

To be honest, she didn't really want this sand, but since they had already brought it over, it wouldn't be good to refuse, would it?

Never mind; when there are too many lice, they don't itch. I'll just find a chance to repay it slowly.

Fu Yan Cheng watched the expressions changing on the young Miss's face, roughly guessing what she was thinking; he looked serious on the surface, but was delighted inside.

He had received advice: if you want to pursue a wife, you must have a thick skin.

Anyway, he had set his mind on this young Miss right in front of him; even if he had to be shameless, he would stick to her.
