Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 112 Three Hundred Square Meters?

Given that his parents usually earned work points in the fields, Wang Chengpeng could only share the good news of securing a homestead during dinner.

Looking at Wang Chengpeng's worried face, Wang Tieshan sighed and said:
"Son, don't be sad. You've done your best with the homestead issue."

“Last time, someone in the next-door neighbor’s family also split up and wanted to get a plot of land to build a house, but it took a full three months to get the approval.”

"It's perfectly normal that it hasn't been approved after you've only been there for a day."

"When you have time, go a few more times and bring some things with you. That will definitely make things much easier."

In today's society, where personal connections matter, you have to give some benefits if you want to get things done. This has even become a consensus in Wangjia Village.

The comfortable living conditions of village officials are the result of accumulated favors and connections.

Reassured by Wang Tieshan, Wang Chengpeng's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he said:
"Dad, the land for the house has been approved, but it might not be as good as you imagine."

"The things we discussed last night only account for one or two of them."

With the expectation that they wouldn't get approved for a homestead, the family of three found it much easier to accept that the land they did get wasn't good, as Wang Chengpeng had said.

Only Wang Meiyan asked impatiently, "Brother, how's the approved land for the house going? Tell us quickly!"

With a sigh, Wang Chengpeng said, "Although the land for the homestead has been approved, it's really not that great."

"Not only is it far from the work site, but it's also all wasteland that needs to be cleared before it can be used."

“I also want a slightly better place, but the village won’t approve it, and there’s nothing I can do.”

Seeing that Wang Chengpeng seemed somewhat remorseful, Liu Chunhua immediately comforted him, saying:

“Son, don’t blame yourself. It’s already a good thing that the land for the house was approved.”

"It's just that the land is wasteland and irregular. There's still some time before we build the house. Our family of four will take care of it whenever we have time. We'll eventually be able to make it look presentable."

Nodding gratefully, Wang Chengpeng said, "Mom, it's alright as long as you don't blame me for not making the right choice."

Wang Tieshan chimed in, "It's called a selection, but does Captain Wang really think you can just choose whatever you want? In the end, it's still up to him to decide."

“Son, the fact that you were able to get the land approved for the house so quickly is already the best thing that could happen.”

"It's just a bit far, we have bicycles, distance is no problem."

"If there are other difficulties, it doesn't matter. As long as we are a family together, we can overcome them completely."

With the comfort of his family, Wang Chengpeng's mental burden was greatly reduced, and he said:
"There are no other difficulties."

"There's a small river right next to the house site, which is very convenient for my mother if she wants to wash clothes or fetch water."

“In places like this, it’s not a problem to drill a well, and the water source issue is also resolved.”

"Regarding the area, I think you should be mentally prepared."

Considering the benefits Wang Chengpeng mentioned next, everyone felt for a moment that this plot of land wasn't so hard to accept.

Thinking of this, Wang Tieshan asked:

"Is it 80 square meters or 60 square meters, son? Just tell me directly, I'm prepared."

With a sigh, Wang Chengpeng said honestly, "Captain Wang approved a plot of land for a house of 240 square meters. It's such a large piece of wasteland. How long will it take us to clear it?"

"Maybe I should go back and talk to Captain Wang and ask him to make the plot of land smaller. That would make it much easier for our family to clear the land." Hearing Wang Chengpeng's words, Wang Meiyan instinctively gasped and said:
"What? A 240-square-meter plot of land? Even the courtyard in my hometown doesn't have such a large plot of land."

"Brother, are you out of your mind? You actually said you'd voluntarily reduce the size of your homestead."

"Even if we clear the land and leave it untouched, we will definitely not lose out by leaving that homestead there."

After listening to Wang Meiyan's words, Wang Tieshan and Liu Chunhua nodded repeatedly.

No matter what it is, it's never a loss to keep it.

Through Wang Chengpeng's unique narrative style, which went from bad to good, everyone gradually accepted the large, somewhat remote wasteland.

In an instant, the family became happy and harmonious.

Even Wang Tieshan, a man of action, immediately suggested taking his whole family to clear wasteland after the meal.
After much persuasion, Wang Chengpeng finally convinced them to return the land, saying that the public notice period had not yet ended and they should wait until the land was registered under their own name.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Chengpeng thought to himself that the matter of reclaiming the wasteland should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

If it's really going to involve the whole family, it's better for him to just pay someone to help him get it done.

However, this matter cannot be discussed directly, otherwise Mother will definitely reject my idea on the grounds of saving money.

Wang Chengpeng only knew that one day he woke up and a large area of ​​wasteland was suddenly cleared up; he knew nothing else.

……

If the 240-square-meter notice only caused a minor disturbance, then the 300-square-meter notice undoubtedly stirred up a huge uproar throughout the entire Wangjia Village.

Even if that piece of wasteland is worthless and few people would want it, this 300-square-meter plot of land is still too big.

Judging solely from the area rather than the quality, this could even be considered the largest homestead in the entire Wangjia Village.

However, seeing the glaring seal on the notice, everyone wisely chose to keep quiet.

At first, only the seals from the production team were available, but the people from the director's faction could still chatter on.

But now that even the village head's stamp has been affixed, who would dare to raise any objections? That would undoubtedly offend all the village officials.

How could someone as clever and resourceful as them possibly do something so foolish?

All I could say was sourly, "It's just a piece of wasteland nobody wants, only that idiot Wang Tieshan is rushing to treat it like a treasure."

"With just his family, it would probably take them several months to clear the land."

Listening to the gossip of his fellow villagers, Wang Tieshan was a little confused. His son said that Captain Wang had only approved 240 square meters, so how could the area have increased by 60 square meters overnight?

For the first time, Wang Tieshan felt somewhat powerless; such a large area of ​​land would take him forever to clear.

This caused Wang Tieshan to show no smile when he heard the news; instead, his face was full of bitterness, which immediately made the sour-faced villagers feel much better.

I knew from the start that the land was bad, rotten, and broken.

It's not that I can't get approval for such a large area of ​​residential land, it's just that we don't want it!
Supported by this idea, this seemingly big storm was quickly extinguished, and within just a few days, no one cared about it anymore.

Once the public notice period ends and Wang Tieshan signs and affixes his seal to the homestead allocation agreement, this 300-square-meter homestead will completely belong to the Wang family!
