Chapter 16: Even if you are poor, your spirit is not poor

College life is like this. You can be like Wei Shen, busy going back and forth between the library and classroom every day, unwilling to stop for a moment.

You can also be like Zhou Bingkun, playing around in the world without any worries. As for after graduation, you will most likely be unemployed.

When he returned to Guangzipian and passed by Sun Ganchao's house, he saw a group of people arguing loudly there. Zhou Bingkun had an idea and guessed something, so he came to the crowd.

"Catch up, what's going on?"

Hearing the question, Gan Chao turned around and saw that it was Zhou Bingkun. He quickly explained with a wry smile, "My sister and her family returned to the city, and there are four more people in the family. We really can't accommodate them at home!

I just want to build a small house!

Uncle Xiong insisted that our family was occupying a public space and brought Uncle Gong to stop us!"

After hearing Sun Ganchao's explanation, Zhou Bingkun understood everything. He nodded to Gong Weize and wanted to say something, but Uncle Xiong sneered and said, "Hey, Ganchao, here comes another one to support you!

It seems like you are still catching up and making a living in the light-word film industry!"

"Uncle Xiong, did you eat garlic this morning? Your breath is so bad!" Zhou Bingkun said sarcastically after hearing Uncle Xiong's sarcastic words.

"Zhou Bingkun, don't think you're so great just because you're a college student! I, Old Xiong, am not afraid of you!" Uncle Xiong felt humiliated by being ridiculed by a junior.

"Haha, Uncle Xiong, I never think that having many college students is a big deal! You must not think so either!" Zhou Bingkun said with a sneer.

"I finally figured it out! Ganchao wanted to build a house, but your Uncle Xiong stopped him because you thought it was taking up your space! Is that right?"

"Yes! That's right! That's right! All the places have been taken up by the overtaken. How are we, the Xiong family, going to survive?"

"Then Uncle Xiong, just tell me directly what we need to do to allow Ganchao to build a house?" Zhou Bingkun said directly.

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Uncle Xiong and the people present were surprised and looked at Zhou Bingkun in disbelief.

"Bingkun, I advise you not to get involved in this matter! It has nothing to do with you! There is no way I will let Ganchao build it!" Looking at Zhou Bingkun in front of him, Uncle Xiong didn't want to offend him too much.

Uncle Xiong's son, Daxiong, heard the noise and came over with a cocky look on his face. "Dad, what's going on? Is someone bullying our Xiong family?"

After hearing Uncle Xiong's explanation, Big Bear looked at Ganchao with a fierce face and said, "Sun Ganchao, just give up on this idea! I won't agree to you building a house!"

"Big Bear, why are you so arrogant?" Zhou Bingkun said with a sneer.

"Zhou Bingkun, you have nothing to do here!

Don't bully us just because you're a college student!" Daxiong said in a timid tone when he saw Zhou Bingkun.

Ignoring Da Xiong, Zhou Bingkun looked at Uncle Xiong again and said with a smile, "Uncle Xiong, we are all old neighbors of Guang Zipian!
It is indeed difficult to live in a crowded house, as there is really no room for the whole family!

Well, I have a suggestion, what do you think?

"You name a price, and I'll temporarily advance the money for you to give this piece of land to Chu Chao!"

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's suggestion, Uncle Xiong and his son Daxiong's eyes lit up. They looked at each other happily, and Daxiong quickly said, "At least one hundred yuan!"

When Gan Chao heard the price Da Xiong mentioned, his eyes widened in surprise. "Da Xiong, are you crazy because you're broke? How dare you ask such a high price?"

Gong Weize was also shocked and said, "Big Bear, don't go too far! Blackmail is also illegal!"

"What? Are you trying to scare me? Do you really think I, Big Bear, am afraid?" Big Bear said indifferently to Gong Weize's words. Zhou Bingkun didn't say anything after hearing Big Bear's offer, and then looked at Uncle Xiong beside him again, "Uncle Xiong, do you think so too?"

Uncle Xiong felt a little frustrated after hearing Zhou Bingkun's words. He also thought that Big Bear was asking for too much, but the situation was difficult to back down, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes! Big Bear is right! At least one hundred yuan!"

"In that case, I'll pay for the hundred yuan!" Hearing Uncle Xiong's words, Zhou Bingkun smiled and took out a hundred yuan and handed it directly to Uncle Xiong.

"what?"

Seeing that Zhou Bingkun directly agreed to Uncle Xiong's request, the neighbors present were completely shocked and stunned on the spot.

Gan Chao quickly stopped him and said, "Bingkun, one hundred yuan is too much! We can't let the Xiong family blackmail us!"

"Ganchao, trust me! Let me handle this matter!" In response to Ganchao's obstruction, Zhou Bingkun looked directly at Ganchao and said.

Seeing Zhou Bingkun say this, Gan Chao stood aside with some heartache and said nothing more.

"Uncle Xiong, you've got the money! Should we also write an agreement?"

"Yes! Yes! Write an agreement!" Uncle Xiong and Big Bear said in surprise, holding the hundred yuan in their hands.

Soon, under the witness of Gong Weize, the agreement was written. Then Zhou Bingkun did not mind the trouble and took Gong Weize and Uncle Xiong to Guangziban, going door to door to ask the neighbors to help sign and witness.

Gong Weize was really surprised to see Zhou Bingkun being so careful. He was indeed a college student. He did things with reason and evidence, and did not leave any handle for others.

After such an operation, the Xiong family father and son will have no way to regret or make trouble in the future. They only paid a hundred yuan, which is too high a price!
Seeing the densely packed signatures, Zhou Bingkun showed a satisfied expression and handed it to the stunned Gan Chao.

"That's all right! Keep building!"

Zhou Bingkun was about to leave with his bicycle when Yu Hong, a pregnant woman standing beside him, forced a smile and said, "Bingkun, today is so much thanks to you!
We will return this hundred dollars to you as soon as possible!"

"Haha, come on!
If I really ask you to pay it back, you two will curse me to death behind my back!
When I have nothing to eat in the future, just give me a meal!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile after hearing what the pregnant woman Yu Hong said.

“And there’s still catching up, it’s difficult for our family!
But this is not a reason for us to take advantage of others!
After all, no one owes anyone anything!
One hundred yuan is a lot, but we are right, and that is dignity that money can’t buy!”

"Bingkun, thank you!" When Gan Chao heard Zhou Bingkun's words, he suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened, and hurriedly said with a smile.

"Let's go!" Zhou Bingkun smiled and rode away on his bicycle in a leisurely manner.

Xiao Guoqing and Cao Debao watched Zhou Bingkun's actions with complicated expressions. Cao Debao was extremely jealous. "College students are so nice! They just took out a hundred yuan! Without even blinking an eye!"

"Yes! Among our 'Six Gentlemen', Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang are the most promising. Now even Bingkun is getting further and further away from us!" Xiao Guoqing also sighed with emotion.

Zhou Bingkun, who was riding a bicycle, felt his heart bleeding. He had spent one hundred yuan out of the one thousand two hundred yuan before he could even warm it up.

But when he thought about the miserable fate that his old brother Sun Ganchao suffered later, Zhou Bingkun felt that the hundred yuan was worth it.

In the original drama, it was very difficult to resolve this conflict. Gong Weize was sued by the Xiong father and son, and it was only after he asked Qu Xiuzhen for help that Gong Weize was able to escape danger.

Sun Ganchao's sister and her family moved into Zheng Juan's old house in Taiping Hutong, and drove away Qiao Chunyan's sister and her family. They must have offended Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan again at that time.

But now, because of Zhou Bingkun's insistence, Guangming did not become a monk, and no one wanted to live there.

Thinking of Guangming, Zhou Bingkun decided to use the money to rebuild Guangming's house first. He was also of marriageable age, and a new house would be a plus point when he got married.
