Since Ji Huai was unwilling to build a house together, Ji Hao was not allowed to build it together without permission. If he really built it together, it would be demolished and he would not agree to exchange the side house for the main house.
Ji Hao and his wife had no choice, and Liu Yun didn't want to live with Ji Huai and his wife, so they demolished and built them separately. They built half of the main house and half of the side house.
The main house was demolished in half, and Ji Huai's house looked even more shabby. The structure of the house was damaged, making it uninhabitable. One time it rained, and a large part of the house collapsed.
Liu Yun felt happy after seeing it. They couldn't blame them. Ji Huai asked her to tear it down.
Let's see where they live when they come back.
In a blink of an eye, the rice is ripe again.
Ji Huai and his family have stopped planting rice on their two acres of land for a long time, and have given it to Uncle Ji's family for free. However, Uncle Ji's family has said that they will give them a certain percentage of the harvest each year.
When the rice is ripe, the pepper is also ripe.
Liu Yun goes to the pepper garden every three days. There are no weeds in her pepper garden, and she cares more about it than her life. Seeing that the peppers are growing well this year, she feels happy in her heart.
So what if Ji Huai makes money now? There may be no money left in a few months, but pepper is different. It comes every year and can be harvested for decades. Ji Huai and his family are gone.
Ji Hao was a little frustrated during this period. Liu Yun asked him to come back and said confidently: "Our pepper will definitely sell for several hundred kilograms this year, and maybe we can pick more. Come back and pick with me."
"Last year it was raised to RMB 4.1, and this year it might be RMB 4.5. Then we will have several thousand yuan, and we can pay back the money we owe to build the house in one go."
Ji Hao also came back in a hurry and was very active in picking pepper.
Pepper is different from farm work. If you don't pick it quickly, it will be stolen. Wouldn't that cost their lives
The two picked the pepper back and soaked it for ten days and a half. They got white pepper, dried it in the sun, and sold it. The price of pepper has really risen to 4.5 yuan this year, and there is even 4.6 yuan left. Yes, they were very happy. They collected more than 400 kilograms this year. Isn’t this going to be almost 2,000 yuan soon
Highest price ever.
Ji Hao and Liu Yun were reluctant to sell, thinking it could still go up, maybe to five yuan, and then they would make a profit.
Many people in the village have sold for fear of falling. The price of crops is volatile. Some people are rushing to harvest it. If supply exceeds demand, the price will be high. When the gust of wind passes, there is a possibility of falling to the bottom.
After waiting and waiting, the price rose to 4.7 yuan. Ji Hao and Liu Yun were ready to make a move, but they didn't sell either.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.
Ji Huai and the others came back, and the other party actually bought a bigger car, and it was also modified. It seemed to be specially used for transporting goods. Looking at the collapsed house, the couple didn't mind at all.
Chen Haiyan cooked a meal and the family ate together.
Ji Huai and his wife are living well now, but she has already lived with Ji Hao and the eldest son. The land and some money left by Ji's father have been given to Ji Ha and the others, and it is impossible to pester Ji Huai.
The younger son just took some money when he gave it to her, and she was too embarrassed to ask for it if it wasn't given to her. Seeing that her son was promising, and now everyone in the village was praising Ji Huai, her face must be bright, so she wouldn't embarrass the couple.
At the dinner table, Liu Yun mentioned pepper.
"The price of pepper is pretty good this year. More than 400 kilograms can be sold for two thousand. Pepper can grow for decades. Isn't it worth tens of thousands? This thing is stable and bears fruit every year."
Behind the scenes, isn't it just that Ji Huai and the others are making money unstable
There is something available for delivery today, but I don’t know if it will be available tomorrow.
If you sell the pepper, you will lose tens of thousands.
Ji Huai picked up a chicken leg for his son and looked at Liu Yun with a slight frown. His eyes seemed confused. Ji Hao gave Chen Haiyan a look, and the other party immediately said, "After dinner, help your brother pull the pepper." It was sold in the city, and I heard that the purchase price there was a dime more than in the town."
After hearing this, Ji Hao didn't speak immediately to see Ji Huai's reaction.
They definitely can't transport more than four hundred kilograms. Doesn't Ji Huai have a car? It can also save a lot of effort.
"Okay." Ji Huai didn't say anything, nodded, looked at the two people's expressions as if they already had tens of thousands, and asked, "Is the pepper still more than four yuan per pound?"
"No, I heard that some places have raised the price to 4.8 yuan, maybe 5 yuan soon!" Liu Yun replied quickly, feeling happy.
If their family wasn't short of money, they would have to save it.
Sun-dried pepper is indestructible and can be stored for a long time.
"Isn't it lowered? There aren't that many people buying now, it's all down to two yuan a piece." Ji Huai replied casually and took a bite of his meal.
"What?" Liu Yun's face froze.
Ji Hao was also dumbfounded.
Two dollars for one
Why is it down by half
"Don't talk nonsense! Just hope that something bad will happen to us!" Liu Yun had a sullen face, obviously not accepting this fact, and retorted loudly.
Ji Huai found it funny, "It's not my acquisition. Why is my sister-in-law talking so excitedly?"
"Impossible! There are so many people rushing to collect it!" Liu Yun said with certainty. He quickly went to the village to ask after taking a few bites of the meal.
Most of the people in the village have sold it. The price of more than four yuan is already very high. They are still rushing to sell it. Who cares about the price now
After asking around, Li Dazhuang's mother said, "I went to town today and I heard them talking about one yuan and ninety pounds."
When he heard it, it was lower than two yuan a piece. Liu Yun felt his blood pressure rise. He almost fainted and his eyes turned black.
She and Ji Hao are determined not to sell, and they will definitely get the price back!
How could they be willing to lose half of their money in one fell swoop
Since it was not for sale, Ji Huai naturally did not need to transport it to the city. Not long after lunch, the couple went back to the city.
People have cars, not to mention how convenient it is.
Ji Hao looked at Ji Huai's car and felt very sad. He heard that this kind of car costs seven or eight thousand yuan, but that's seven or eight thousand yuan.
Later, I heard that Ji Huai is now taking Li Dazhuang and others to the city to help him unload the goods. According to Li Dazhuang, Ji Huai is very prosperous in the city and knows many bosses. His salary is 120 yuan a month. .
He earns 70 to 80 yuan a month as a teacher. Teachers are scarce in the town and one person has to teach several classes. It is really annoying that Li Dazhong can earn so much money a month even though he does not know a word.
Their house was gradually built, and Ji Huai's half was not built, so all the money saved was used to build side houses. Four small side houses were built at once, and Chen Haiyan was generously accommodated in one. Of course, the other side's With some money, we subsidized them all.
Ji Hao also left a stairwell on the first floor. When he has money later, he can build another floor above and build the most magnificent house in the village.
But now, in addition to owing a lot of debt, after waiting for half a year, the purchase price of pepper has not increased, but has dropped to 1.5 yuan. They are going crazy.
From 4.7 yuan to 1.5 yuan, they lost two-thirds. People in the village secretly laughed at them for being stupid, but they were still unwilling to sell it.
At the very least, you have to wait until it costs two or three yuan before selling it.
Not long after their house was built, Ji Huai, who originally said he would have the money to build a house in two years, also went home to build a house.
Li Dazhuang's father is a contractor, and Li Gousheng's father is a famous carpenter within ten miles. The patterns he carves are lifelike. He has been doing this for decades, so it is naturally expensive to hire him.
I heard that the cost for Ji Huai to hire Li Gosheng's father was over a thousand yuan. The doors, windows, tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets were all made of wood. It was a one-story house. It was a very traditional house, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this cost was not high. Small.
Ji Hao knew that the cost of building the other party's house must be more than twice as expensive as theirs.
Seeing that Ji Huai was making so much money, and he was only receiving that little salary, he was really ready to move on. He also wanted to drive a tractor. He was also a teacher after all, and had seen a little bit of the world. He couldn't be as good as Ji Huai, right
Liu Yun naturally felt the same way. Ji Hao must be better than Ji Huai. She also said blindly and confidently, "If you do it, you will definitely do better than Ji Huai and make more money!"
"Don't say a few thousand a month, you might be able to earn more!"
Ji Hao feels more and more that he can do it too. What good is a teacher who is seventy or eighty-one months old
So he resigned decisively.
After selling half of the pepper, I bought a car, went to school, and told many people, "I have made money, and I will definitely buy back the pepper. I will not buy land like Ji Huai, which is completely useless."
"Building a house and buying a hill to grow pepper are assets. Although the price of pepper has fallen a bit, it will rise back sooner or later."
Little did he know that when he bought the car, Ji Huai had already sold the tractor to Li Dazhuang and asked him to collect and deliver the goods. Because there are so many people doing this now, the village can no longer receive so much goods, and all parties are... Prices are lowered and profits are slim.
Ji Huai changed his direction of making money and began to transport some electrical appliances and novelty items from the capital to sell, including TVs, electric fans, children's electronic watches, small alarm clocks...
Anyway, they are some things that are rarely seen in the city.
Now people's living standards are gradually rising. Some people can earn some money by working hard, opening restaurants, clothing stores, and making snacks. This gradually requires quality of life.
An electrical appliance can earn dozens of yuan, and a small item can earn a few yuan. He is responsible for transporting goods, while Qin Yu rents a shop and specializes in selling goods there, and becomes a salesperson in his own store.
"How much does this fan cost?"
"This fan costs one hundred and fifty yuan." Qin Yu walked over with a smile and said to the old lady.
Her dressing style has changed a bit now. She has her hair tied up, wearing a light blue dress, and fashionable wedge shoes on her feet.
"Is it so expensive?" The old lady's enthusiasm slowed down a lot.
"These electrical appliances are indeed very expensive. We only have a few in the store. Two were sold yesterday. This is the last one." Qin Yu's expression did not change and he continued softly.
"Grandma, I want that watch." The little boy pulled by the old lady looked at the counter and pulled her over there, "I want that watch."
"Didn't I just buy a toy?" Although the old lady said this, she still walked over.
"Is it this? It has a little tiger printed on it." The other person was about the same age as Ji Jun. Qin Yu couldn't help lowering his voice. Ji Huai had purchased a lot of this kind of watch, and children nowadays liked it very much.
"Yes." The little boy took it with a happy face.
"How to sell this?" the old lady asked again.
Qin Yu: "This is five yuan."
The price was considered cheap. It was selling for six, seven, or nine yuan elsewhere, so the old lady thought it was okay and didn't let her grandson put it away. She seemed to want to buy it.
Qin Yu observed her expression and continued, "My son also likes to wear them very much. He always looks for new ones. He saved one for each of the twelve zodiac signs, and asked his father to give him a different one next time. Yes, and that little toy gun, each one is different, boys like these things."
When the little boy heard about the toy gun, he also followed her line of sight and walked over to take a look.
"Grandma, I want this toy gun." He was holding the electronic watch and immediately spotted a pistol without moving his eyes.
Ji Huai went to the capital to find the purchasing channels himself. They were all new products and the sales were very good.
"How can I sell this gun?" the old lady asked again.
"This is a bit expensive, it costs ten and a half yuan." Qin Yu said softly, "Because there are only a few, it is difficult to get the goods, so it took some effort."
"You can sell it for seven or eight yuan. Who will buy it for more than ten yuan?" The old lady frowned, obviously feeling that it was extremely expensive.
"I really can't sell it." Qin Yu looked helpless.
"Total twelve yuan, I bought it." The old lady ignored her and spoke directly.
"No." Qin Yu shook his head, "I really can't sell you like this. It costs at least fifteen yuan. How about this? Do you want that fan? If you want it, I can give you the electronic watch. After all, twelve yuan is definitely the price. Even if I lose money, I still make a few bucks from the fan, so I won’t lose money either.”
The old lady hesitated, "The fan costs one hundred and fifty yuan, which is too expensive."
"Everywhere else sells it for 160 yuan. We buy it directly and it's much cheaper than them." Qin Yu sighed, "How about I charge you 10 yuan for the gun too, for a total of 160 yuan, do you think that's okay? It's all. It’s not easy to make some money in business.”
"One hundred and fifty-five." The old lady countered.
"Auntie." Qin Yu smiled helplessly, "Isn't that the same as giving this gun to your grandson? I don't have many toy guns in the store, and my son didn't even give it to him if he wanted to play with it. "
The old lady insisted.
"Let's each take a step back. I'll charge you one hundred and fifty-eight. I can't take it any lower." Qin Yu took a step back, and his attitude became a little tougher. There was even a point where the bottom line was this. If he didn't buy it, then There was nothing she could do.
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
"Then let me pack it for you. Where is your home? I will ask my husband to deliver it to you. We will deliver it to your door, help you pack it, and send you back together." Qin Yu said to her quickly.
When the old lady heard this, she even delivered the goods to their doorstep, and a small truck took them back. The service of this store is really good.
However, when paying the bill, she couldn't help but mutter, "You must have made money. You wouldn't sell it at a loss."
"Aunt, I really didn't make any money from you. We are here to live, just have enough to support ourselves." Qin Yu said sincerely, looking at Ji Huai next to him, "Move to the car."
After she finished speaking, she said to the old lady, "Electrical appliances are very expensive. If we can sell them cheaper, we will definitely sell them to you. There is really no other way."
Ji Huai acted as a competent handyman and walked over to move the fan. He looked at her with a serious look on his face, half-smiling but not smiling.
Qin Yu made eye contact with him and continued calmly and naturally, "If you have any problems later, you can send it over and we can repair it. If it breaks, you can return it within a week."
"Okay." The old lady was very satisfied and took a look at other products in her store.
Ji Huai looked at her look before leaving and joked, "The boss lady made sixty-seven and a half yuan with tears in her eyes."
I don't know if he has been with him for a long time, but Qin Yu now does business one after another. His eloquence is getting better and better, and his sales ability is excellent.
"Go quickly!" She put the money in the cabinet, looked at the old lady not far away, and squinted her eyes, "Although the price is cheap, the service attitude must remain the same."
Ji Huai held back his laughter and nodded honestly, looking like he had been taught.
He drove the old lady away. Ji Jun came in from behind. The toy gun he was holding had been broken by him. He walked over and took the gun that the little boy just bought.
"Mom, I want to play with this," he said.
"That one costs ten yuan, and your dad's purchase costs five yuan! You can really destroy it!" Qin Yu felt that he wasted too much money on toys and was so naughty that he couldn't control him at all.
"Then I want to play too. Dad said, everyone can play." Ji Jun grew taller and looked like a handsome boy. When Ji Huai was a child, he was just like a wild monkey. He ran away with a gun in his hand. Fast.
Qin Yu gritted his teeth, father and son were the same, it was a waste of money!
The items sold in their store are quite new, and the prices are cheaper than elsewhere. Even if some are not cheap, the service attitude is good and they can be delivered to your door without any extra charge.
In this way, business will naturally prosper.
Ji Huai sometimes had to deliver goods more than a dozen times a day. This made money much faster than purchasing ingredients, and it was easy to expand the business. It didn't take long for them to become one of the best stores in the city. Qin Yu could not handle it alone. Yes, we have to hire employees.
The other end.
Ji Hao bought a tractor, but he was not good at eloquence. Later, he was forced to take Liu Yun to buy ingredients, and wanted to leave Ji Huai's old business.
However, the couple's stubborn tempers and cheating on others when weighing things basically meant that someone sold him something once and would never sell it a second time.
They still felt that they had suffered a loss, and after a few months of preoccupation with the acquisition, they could not acquire much at all. No one wanted it when it was sent to restaurants, and there was no market for it at all.
Go sell it on the street and make a little money, but you can't sell more things, so you lose more.
After procrastinating for a year, I really couldn't make any money, so I had no choice but to sell the tractor.
After selling, they quickly used the money to buy land and plant pepper.
It must be a loss compared to before, as mountain prices are rising every year.
Ji Hao lost his job as a teacher again, but he still felt that anything he could do was more profitable than being a teacher, so he worked hard and worked at everything, learning the craft randomly, and then took Liu Yun to set up a stall.
None of them worked.
But it didn't affect the two of them at all. They thought Master Ji Huai was stupid. All the money he earned was used to buy land. How could the land produce gold
All the money they had saved in the past few years was used to invest in pepper. Ji Hao also worked as a geotechnical worker, building walls for others, and earned more than being a teacher, and he could earn nearly 200 yuan a month.
They saved and saved, constantly building and renovating the house. They built a two-story house and wanted to build a two-story side house as well. They also built a front yard and a backyard. Liu Yun also built a house on his neighbor's land.
There was no one in that family anymore, so she just took their land.
The two of them had spent their whole lives on the land in the countryside, occupying a little here and a piece there, racking their brains to grow a few peppers. After planting five hundred peppers, they wanted a thousand, and a thousand and wanted two thousand.
And what about Ji Huai and his wife
From a small shop to a large department store, Qin Yu became a manager. He managed more than a hundred people in the store by himself. It was the largest store in the city.
Ji Huai invested in catering and built a building with others on the land he bought before, preparing to open a branch.
The couple didn't make any show of it. They were still the same when they returned to their hometown. Because they kept borrowing money, their life was not luxurious and wasteful. Ji Hao had already built a two-story house, and he always stood on the second floor of the house and looked down at them.
Ji Huai looked at the dark skin of Ji Hao and Liu Yun. They had aged at least ten years in the past few years. They worked really hard for that little land.
When Ji Hao boasted to the people in the village that he had finally built a house and could take a rest, he said, "I don't do many things, but it's not much less than Ji Huai. My house also has two floors and is very wide." Very well, there aren’t many houses in the village that are as grand as mine.”
"There are hundreds of peppers, what else do I lack? I don't lack anything."
Li Dazhuang laughed loudly, "I'm afraid you don't know how powerful Brother Huai is now."
"Don't he have a house in the city? Has he built a two-story house?" Ji Hao refused.
"Now they have opened shopping malls and restaurants. Do you know how big that shopping mall is? They can make thousands or tens of thousands a day." Li Dazhuang laughed at his ignorance, "What's the use of building so many houses in the village? Houses in the city are very valuable now, they cost several hundred yuan per square meter now.”
"Brother Huai has a lot of land. He even offered a piece of land for 120,000 yuan, but he didn't sell it. Brother Huai is not short of that 120,000 yuan."
Li Dazhuang crossed his feet and raised his eyebrows as he spoke, just because he didn't like Ji Hao's appearance and made him feel frustrated.
"Are you kidding me? What kind of house in the city can cost hundreds of dollars per square meter? Who are you trying to fool?" Ji Hao didn't believe it at all. "You're paying me 120,000 yuan. I don't even want 12 yuan."
Li Dazhuang laughed at his ignorance.
Ji Hao and Liu Yun continued to guard their land in the village, made some money, and built a wall at home to separate Ji Huai's family. They thought their life was no worse than Ji Huai's and his family, and might even be better.
They have pepper.
In the past few years, hundreds more have been planted. The family on the right is also planning to occupy the land. They can build a small room to use as a utility room to store things.
He always felt that Ji Huai was no good, or he didn't want to believe it and thought he was the best.
Ji Huai was living well, so why didn't he go home and build the side house? The sundry house has collapsed, why not build it
But they couldn't convince themselves, because Ji Huai bought a car, which cost tens of thousands, so they could only try to convince themselves in the conflict.
Slowly, all the peppers are ready to be picked. At this time, the price has hit the bottom, because everyone has been planting it over the years, and the output is very large. No one buys the most popular hills in the past.
Ji Hao then panicked and wanted to buy land in the city, but was told that a small shop in the city would start at 50,000 yuan.
fifty thousand.
To him, it was an astronomical figure that he would never be able to save in his lifetime.
Li Dazhuang and Li Gou Sheng added, "Brother Huai owns half a street of shops in prime locations in the city. They are not single rows. He owns them on both sides of the road."
"Aren't we going to build a community recently? There are several buildings. The land also belongs to Brother Huai. It is said that he also holds a share. When the construction starts, we will give priority to recruiting people from our village to work."
"Brother Huai is so awesome, we have to drink some soup too."
…
As the country's economy gradually develops and the city becomes more prosperous, young people in the village rarely come back after they go out, and they all stay outside to work.
Even Ji Cheng and Ji Xian never came back after they went out. Sometimes when they came back during the holidays, they would only have a meal and then leave.
No one lives in the house that Ji Hao and his wife worked hard to build. No one even takes a look at the land that Liu Yun worked hard to acquire. No one except the older generation cares about it.
Now they want to save money to buy land and build a house in the city, or buy a suite, but they have no money anymore. All the money they have in recent years has been used to build houses, desperately building houses on other people's land, or growing pepper. , this all costs money.
Many elderly people in the village saved a sum of money while the price of pepper was still there. After the community invested by Ji Huai was built, he gave the villagers a preferential price. Anyone who wanted to buy a house in the city could pay 85% off. fold.
You can buy a big house for less than 40,000.
Many people in the village went to buy it, and some used it to marry wives from the city, and there were not many people in the village.
Ji Hao and his wife also wanted to go, and even asked Chen Haiyan to ask Ji Huai to give them a discount and let them buy a set, especially Ji Cheng, who wanted it more so that he could marry a wife in the city.
Not to mention the 15% discount, Ji Huai offered a 50% discount for Chen Haiyan's sake. The 50% discount made Ji Hao and his wife rub their hands without uttering a word.
Even if it's 20% off, you still have to sell the pepper.
The pepper production has been very small in the past two years, and there is no harvest at all. I am afraid that thousands of peppers will have to be sold to grow like stone pillars before I can buy them.
Of course Liu Yun refused, it was their family's asset.
This hesitation was terrible. The community was quickly sold out. The next year, when I bought another place, it directly became 60,000 yuan.
You have to sell the land before you can buy it. The key is that the land is not easy to sell. It is not easy to grow anything except pepper. I am afraid it will be sold at a low price, and no one may want it.
Later, Chen Haiyan suffered a stroke. Liu Yun's first reaction was to ask Ji Huai to take care of her, but Chen Haiyan refused at all and came back after being discharged from the hospital.
She is not close to her youngest son, but now that Qin Yu is successful and has made money, can he still think highly of her? Wouldn't it be a sin if you went
She has loved Ji Hao since she was a child and feels most comfortable staying with him.
"Mom, we are so poor now, aren't you burdening us by staying here?" Liu Yun was unwilling and what he said was unpleasant. "Why should we raise him? Ji Huai should raise him. You shouldn't come back here and cause us trouble. Really."
Chen Haiyan was not someone to be trifled with. She exploded immediately, and her scolding voice could be heard by half of the village, "What? Are you starting to dislike me now? What's wrong with me living with you? Didn't I give my land to you in the first place?" ?The money your father left is also for you, and I have been helping you all these years."
"When it's beneficial, you talk about supporting me and living with you. If it's not beneficial, then kick me out, right? Let me tell you, there's no way!"
"I have the nerve to say that I have given you everything. Now I am not afraid of thunder and lightning, so that the whole village can see it, and the people from the neighborhood committee can also come and see it."
…
Liu Yun immediately gave up, and Ji Hao could only bite the bullet and try to persuade Chen Haiyan, saying that it was all a misunderstanding.
Chen Haiyan's anger was not easy to get rid of, and she tormented Liu Yun very much.
If he doesn't wait, the cursing voice can last for a long time, making Liu Yun doubt his life and want to kill him.
Chen Haiyan's stroke sequelae became more and more serious, and she could only lie in bed. Ji Huai took her to the capital, and there was no particularly effective treatment. He could only prescribe some medicine and control it.
When she was about to return home, she needed Liu Yun to take care of her.
In her words, the more you try to get rid of me, the more pain I will make you suffer!
Liu Yun was resentful, so he could only serve him. Ji Hao didn't care about anything and turned a blind eye. If he said a few words to Chen Haiyan, the other party would start scolding her again, and the whole village could hear the scolding.
Even though Chen Haiyan couldn't move, her cursing voice was still loud.
Another new year.
Ji Huai and his wife came back and brought back a lot of good things. Every year when Ji Huai comes back, he will visit the elderly in the village and prepare a new year's gift for them.
He helps villagers find jobs, buys houses at discounted prices for them, and cares about the elderly. He is very humble, so he has a good reputation in the village.
He changed his car again, and it was still an imported luxury car. The wine he got back was said to be good wine.
Chen Haiyan and Liu Yun were cursing each other again, and Ji Hao fled outside, feeling disgusted and irritable in his heart.
When he reached the entrance of the village, he heard Li Dazhuang and the others chatting:
"In our village, all the capable people have bought houses in the city, but Ji Hao's family is the only one who doesn't have one."
"Don't talk about him. Brother Huai said last time that he would get a loan. He can buy it for only a few thousand yuan. They and his wife can't raise it together. The land at your aunt's house has also been occupied by their family to build debris. Is there time? Anyone with any sense would just stare at the things in the neighborhood?"
"That's true. That's the bad thing about people who are too smart. Ji Hao is obviously too shrewd. Brother Huai doesn't care about this. How rich is he now? Let him guard the house in the village and buy it for the rest of his life. I can’t afford it.”
…
Ji Hao was trembling all over, but he couldn't refute it. Teachers' wages were still rising, and he would not have a pension when he retired. Thinking of this, a smell of rust rose up his throat, and he almost broke his teeth.
Why, why is he so unlucky
When I went back and looked at Liu Yun, I was even more angry. It was because of this woman that she was grabbing land and occupying it. It was because of this disaster!
Liu Yun was not to be outdone this time. She discovered that Ji Hao was hooking up with women in the village, and it had happened before, and the two of them got into a fight.
The two of them were badly beaten, but they had to continue to live their lives.
They stayed in the village all their lives, guarding the unoccupied houses and looking at the sky-high prices of houses in the city, burying their grievances and regretting each other.
