Chapter 84: Building a House
"This is also true," Aunt Hua thought and also broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes, it must be built. Since the house is leaking, why wouldn’t we fix it?"
"Let’s build it together," Uncle Hua thought for a moment and discussed with Aunt Hua, "Now that our two sons are grown up and need to marry, we still have two plots for houses in our family property. Let’s build on both, one for each son, and not be biased towards either one. That way, later on, there will be no dissatisfaction among the daughters-in-law. The eldest and the second son will both have their places, and no one will have more than the other."
"That would work," Aunt Hua felt this was very good. Since everyone is hiring people to build houses, we might as well build them all together. Who doesn’t want to build a house anyway? It’s just because of money issues. Now, money is not an issue in their family, so why not build?
"Auntie, we want to build in Shenjia Village," Qin Xiangyang mentioned after Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua had finished their discussion.
"You want to build a house in Shenjia Village? This..."
Aunt Hua hesitated, "Your household registration is here, how can you build a house in someone else’s village?"
"So we are asking Aunt Hua for help," Qin Xiangyang was determined, "There, it’s closer to the middle school, and we will be starting middle school soon. Nuannuan’s ears are not good, and I don’t want us to be travelling before dawn and after dusk, spending all our time on the road, which is not even easy to travel. Even if we ride bicycles, it would still take nearly an hour each way. In windy and rainy weather, it’s even harder."
Qin Xiangnuan gently tugged at Qin Xiangyang’s hand and then gave a slight nod, speaking softly in a very well-behaved and pitiable manner, making it hard to refuse.
