Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 40 Buying a Yard

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Ju Hongxian.

I saw Ju Hongxian shudder all over;
She also heard what others had just said about Hei Xia Zi, and her greatest confidence and reliance in her heart were shattered by others.

One thousand yuan!
Her husband Wang Tu Douzi only earns two thousand yuan a year driving a tractor.

Dai Song went out in the morning and came back in the afternoon, and earned her family's half-year salary in one go!
After the pride in her heart was shattered, she felt as if she had fallen into a well, dark and cold, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get out.

"Some people just can't stand seeing others live an easy life. What's it to you whether they are good or bad? Why do you have to say that? You even laugh at the family living in the same room. What they earn in a day is what your family earns in half a year! You twist your hips all day long to act like a little girl, but you don't even take a piss to look at yourself. What a shame!"

Luo Dongni put her hands on her hips, pointed at Ju Hongxian, who looked like a lost soul on the ground, and scolded her without stopping, directly turning Ju Hongxian's face purple.

Somehow, more and more people gathered around. At first, they gathered around to look at the bear out of curiosity, but after hearing Luo Dongni's yelling and cursing, they all understood what was going on.

Ju Hongxian is forcing people to do something wrong and making them angry.

There are only so many people in the village, who doesn't know what Ju Hongxian looks like?

At this moment, everyone is just standing there watching the fun, and no one is willing to come out and help.

Seeing that everyone was pointing fingers at Ju Hongxian, Luo Dongni glanced at Jiang Weiqun, and seeing that she didn't want to nag, she explained the whole story in detail.

When everyone heard that Dai Song had killed a black bear and it was rescued by Li Pao from the neighboring village, they all looked at Dai Song and the big black bear in surprise.

Someone actually went to ask the old man on the tractor, and after getting a positive answer, the shock on his face was beyond words.

Wang Tu Douzi made 2,000 yuan a year, which was already envied by everyone in the village. How could Dai Song, a second-rate guy, make 1,000 yuan a day?!

After the shock, there came the ridicule towards Ju Hongxian.

"Your family isn't that great, they make over a thousand a day!"

"That's right, you're so arrogant every day. I don't know who you're trying to please!"

"They have cars parked outside their houses every other day, but they don't show off like you do!"

Even if each person said only a word, the crowd was in an uproar at this moment. Ju Hongxian could not even lift her head. She lay on the ground with her shoulders twitching and howling loudly, like a toad that could only croak when it was stepped on.

Just when the crowd's condemnation of her reached its peak, a series of 28-meter barbell sounds came from not far away.

"Let them all get out of the way! What's going on?!
What does it mean to strip someone's clothes?

Qi Shunli came over with Wang Tu Douzi.

He had just been talking to Huang Dawei at the village headquarters on the phone about what to do after their divorce, when he heard Dahu riding his bike around the village yelling:

"Hurry to the store! Ju Hongxian has had her clothes taken off!"

He was so scared that he immediately hung up the phone and chased after them, chasing little Hu Zi out of the car. He went to find Wang Tu Dou Zi in a hurry. On the way, he didn't dare to tell him what happened. He could only keep persuading Wang Tu Dou Zi to calm down.

After all, the farce between Huang Dawei and Ye Meilin a few days ago is still vivid in his mind, and he doesn't want it to happen again today.

When he got close to her, he saw that Ju Hongxian was still wearing clothes, just a little disheveled, so he felt relieved.

He lifted his legs and got out of the car, but Wang Tu Douzi, who was sitting in the back seat and craning his neck to look, was caught off guard by his kick. He let out a "ouch" and fell directly to the ground.

"Hey! Lao Wang, are you okay? Come on, come on! Give me a hand!"

Wang Tu Douzi lives up to his name.

The big bald head looks like a potato, the hunchbacked body looks like a potato, and the limbs are thick and short, also like potatoes strung together.

This kind of "capital" fell into the snow and immediately kicked around like an upside-down turtle, and the cloth shoes on its feet flew into the sky like a mynah bird that had regained its freedom.

When Qi Shunli called out, two uncles immediately came over from the crowd. One went to pick up the cloth shoes that had just been "released" by Wang Tu Douzi, and the other helped to help the man up.

Wang Tu Douzi was also a strong man. As soon as he was helped up, he pushed the two people away, hunched over, and walked into the crowd with his legs lurching like a donkey.

He kicked Ju Hongxian on the ground.
"Get up!!!"

"Woo woo woo! Wang Tu Dou Zi! You are still a man! Why did you come here just now?!"

“Go, go, go!

Don't leave it here in plain sight! Get up!"

"I won't! Your woman was almost bullied to death, and you didn't help, but now you are teaching me a lesson!"

Wang Tu Douzi immediately tilted his head and glared, rolled up his sleeves and pointed at Ju Hongxian who was in high spirits.

"Don't force me to do it! I'll sue you. I'll count to three! Get up now, quick!"

"Beat me to death! Beat me to death if you dare! I don't want to live anymore after suffering so much injustice! Beat me to death right now if you dare!"

"Fuck! Me!"

Wang Tu Douzi wiped his face with his hand, his expression instantly became cold, and he started to act funny in front of the crowd;
He put his arms together and kicked his legs, like a rooster facing a weasel, and quickly circled around Ju Hongxian who was lying on the ground. After a few steps, he plowed a neat circle on the ground which was half snow and half mud.

"I'll say this one last time! Get up!"

"I don't!"

"I'll blanch you"

Qi Shunli had just squeezed into the crowd to pull Wang Tu Douzi, but was pinned down by Ju Hongxian who triggered the counterattack.

The huge body, like two water jars stacked together, pounced over, and even if the black bear on the tractor stood up, it would be pressed back to the ground.

Everyone was amused by what they saw. They originally thought they could only see a fight between a couple, but now it suddenly became a fight between three people.

Qi Shunli was pressed at the bottom and his face turned purple.
"Emma!"

"Help me!" "Why is this old woman so stubborn?"

Qi Shunli, who was hurriedly pulled up by everyone, took several breaths before he recovered. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he heard the sound of "Hey yo hey yo" coming from the distance again.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the sound. Dai Bai and Dai Shuzhi were walking in front, looking very stylish in their new green coats. No one knew whether it was because they were walking fast or there was a strange wind in their area, but their coats were always flying behind them.

Not only the few people at the entrance of the convenience store, but everyone else's eyes lit up when they saw it.

The village is not like the town, where everything is practical. This coat looks warm and comfortable, and as soon as it appears, everyone feels that the clothes they are wearing are not warm enough.

Dai Shuzhi had gotten used to everyone's stares after a day of work. He adjusted his Lei Feng cap and saw Jiang Weiqin and Dai Song in the crowd, so he quickly asked:
"Wife, what's going on?"

Jiang Weiqun then explained everything to Dai Shuzhi and Dai Bai, including how the black bear came to be and how much it was worth. Dai Song broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. After all, the last time his family guessed that he was out hunting in the mountains, nothing happened. This time, it was made clear, and he felt that he was really in trouble.

While the family was talking, Qi Shunli also reacted and hurriedly dispersed the crowd who were watching the fun. He also helped Old Man Xie unload the things on the tractor and gave him several cigarettes, which made Old Man Xie very happy. Then he happily returned to the village.

As for the Dai family, after figuring out what happened, the family discussed it and saw Dai Shuzhi walking up to Qi Shunli with his head held high:

"Old Qi, haha, I won't say much about other things. You are the village chief, you can do whatever you want."

"Don't worry, old brother Dai!" Qi Shunli ignored Ju Hongxian and pulled the hunched Wang Tu Douzi to Dai Shuzhi. "We have been friends for most of our lives. The little conflicts between women are over. Old Wang, you should express your attitude first about the matter caused by your woman!"

"Hey!" Wang Tu Douzi held Dai Shuzhi's hand, looking ashamed for a long time before uttering,
"You are so incompetent in teaching your wife!"

Qi Shunli immediately worried that Dai Shuzhi would be dissatisfied with Wang Tu Douzi's statement.
As a result, Dai Shuzhi's eyes widened, and then he sighed heavily.
"It's okay! We can discuss this more when we have time!"

Such a brutal struggle was resolved by just a look and two words from two men who shared the same suffering.

Qi Shunli, who didn't know what was going on, was afraid that the two would play a trick on him and start a private fight, so he called out to Wang Tu Douzi:
"Old Wang, please take the things back to Old Dai's house later!"

"for sure!"

Wang Tu Douzi just walked up to Ju Hongxian and kicked his wife.
"I'll take care of you when I get back!"

"Just clean it up! Wang Tu Douzi, you are not a man! My life is so miserable."

No one knew if this was a secret code between the couple, but Ju Hongxian said this as she quickly got up from the ground and walked slowly towards home.

Seeing the farce over, Qi Shunli returned the bicycle to Xiang Dongfang. Just as he was about to go home, he was stopped by Dai Shuzhi.

"Old Qi, we still have something to discuss."

"Well, Old Dai, Ju Hongxian just can't control his mouth, and Wang Tu Douzi is also an honest man, otherwise we wouldn't have given him the tractor to manage. This is just a matter of words, and I think we should not take it seriously."

"No~" Dai Shuzhi pulled Qi Shunli in front of his family, "We just thought about it and found that our current place is too crowded, so we wanted to ask you if there is a suitable yard or open space in the village."

"Ah! Yes! Old Huang didn't divorce his wife! It's not convenient for him to be alone, so he went to live with his brother. But all his money was given to that woman Ye Meilin. He has no money living under someone else's roof, so he plans to sell the yard. He's been worried about it these days. What do you think?" When Qi Shunli heard that they were not going to fight, he immediately felt relieved.

"Old Huang's Yard"

"Captain, is there anything else? Let's think about it together."

Dai Shuzhi was interrupted by Jiang Weiqun halfway through his words. Buying a house is a big deal, and you should look at a few before making a decision.

"Yes, there are. It depends on whether you want a bigger one or a smaller one."

"Haha, big or small, only what you can afford is real. If it's a residential plot, that would be even better!" Dai Song asked the price in a tactful way and made his request.

"That's right, we don't have any more homesteads, and if we want to enclose land, we'll just enclose the outer areas. You definitely don't want to.

The Huang family has a big yard and a three-room house. It has been occupied before, so we can live there without any trouble. So the price is expensive, including the house and the land, it’s 2,500 yuan.”

Dai Bai and Jiang Weiqun looked at each other and nodded imperceptibly.

"The house in Tundong has been vacant for a long time. It was Old Man Ding. Do you remember him? After he passed away, his son asked me to sell it. But his house is too old and cannot be lived in. It only has a large space. If I buy it back, I have to rebuild it. But the price is reasonable. I can sell it as a residential plot for only twelve thousand yuan."

Dai Song was tempted. As a second-rate guy, whose roof had he not climbed on in the village?

He was deeply impressed by the courtyard of old man Ding's house:

There is an empty yard in front of the hall that can accommodate two and a half cars side by side. There is also a vegetable patch and a small well behind the house.

The house is made entirely of mud and has been uninhabited for many years. It's lucky that it hasn't collapsed.

However, the cost of building a house these days is not high. In the spring, you can go to the town, find a few craftsmen, and build a beautiful bungalow. Seven or eight hundred yuan will definitely be enough, including the labor and materials.

Not only Dai Song, Dai Shuzhi and Jiang Weiqun also thought that the yard was nice.

First, the price. They used their savings to give each of the two brothers 600 yuan.

The savings of Dai Bai and his wife over the years, plus the 600 yuan they contributed, are enough to buy the Huang family's yard. If they want to renovate it later, they can just do it slowly and save slowly.

Dai Song was slow in coming to his senses. It is true that he has made some money these days, but it is hard to say whether this money can last long. So he must save as much as possible. The six hundred yuan that he secretly gave to Nan Chunwan a few days ago, plus the support they gave to Dai Song and his wife, has secured the taking over of Old Dingtou's yard!
Besides, if Dai Bai and his wife move to the next yard, the vacant main house can be given to Dai Song and his wife to live in. During this period, as long as they can save enough money, it won’t be a problem to rebuild Old Dingtou’s house.

Second, the person living next door to Lao Dingtou is Luo Dongni, and the two families have always been on good terms, so it would only be convenient for them to live close to each other.

“Are there any other yards?”

Buying a house is a big deal, and Dai Song feels that one should not be afraid of trouble.

"Yes, yes, do you want the small courtyard to the west of the village?"

"No." Jiang Weiqin refused directly, "It's too close to the side, it's not good."

"Natunnan"

"That's even worse."
