Chapter 147 Rejection
As she was pondering, she caught sight of Wang Yongping’s figure approaching from afar, prompting her to immediately cast Song Chongjin to the back of her mind.
Upon seeing his little sister standing not far away, Wang Yongping hurried over with a jog, "Little sister, why haven’t you gone home yet?"
Wang Yongzhu, not seeing Wang Laozhu behind him, asked, "Why are you alone, where’s dad?"
Wang Yongping looked around and said in a low voice, "Dad is at Lizheng’s house drawing up the deed."
While speaking, he gestured for Wang Yongzhu to follow behind him, "Let’s talk on the way."
Wang Yongzhu naturally had no objections and followed behind him, listening to Wang Yongping recount in detail the affairs he and Wang Laozhu had managed these past few days.
Initially, the Li Family Patriarch was somewhat reluctant to use the land to pay off the debt. He had his eyes on the three mu of paddy fields owned by Li Dagui’s family, thinking of taking the opportunity with Li Dagui’s situation to buy those fields.
For peasant families, everything else is superficial; it is the land that is fundamental.
However, the Wang Family Patriarch advised him to settle the matter sooner rather than later to avoid unnecessary complications. Now with Li Dagui bedridden, unconscious, and Li Jinlong inexperienced, procrastination could lead to trouble if the land wasn’t transferred promptly. Should Li Dagui get better, or Li Jinlong recover, he had schoolmates who might interfere, and everyone involved could end up with nothing gained for their efforts.
He also hinted that the Wang Family was willing to give up one mu of the three mu paddy field, using three mu of dry land to settle the debt instead.
This meant that the Li Family Patriarch still had room to maneuver.
