It was a big deal to build roads in the village. Chen Liang was the village chief, but he had to discuss it with the respected elders in the village.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Other than the Sixth Grandfather, there were also a few families with great seniors.
Everyone sat down and discussed this matter.
When they heard that they were going to build a road for the village, these elders were all excited. There was nothing they did not agree to.
Even if there were difficulties, it was fine. He just had to overcome them.
The Gu family had already given them so much convenience. They could solve all the other small problems.
Everyone reached an agreement without any objections. When Chen Liang came out of the Sixth Grandfatherâs house, his face was slightly red.
Without delay, he went to the He familyâs house again.
The He family did not have a strong presence in Yongfu Village because of their remote position.
Although it was not at the foot of the mountain, it was at the edge. There was a large field behind the house, so it was inconvenient to go out.
There were a total of four members of the He family. He Shanchuan and his wife had a few-year-old son and a mother.
Mother He was not in good health. She could only lie in bed for two-thirds of the year, especially when the weather was too hot or cold. She took medicine all year round, so the He family could not save money.
Mrs. He could only stay at home to take care of her child and mother-in-law. Then, she would clean up at home, plant some vegetables, and do some embroidery work.
Only He Shanchuan was busy with the work in the field.
The family was diligent and managed to make ends meet, but they were really poor.
When Chen Liang came to explain the situation to the He family, the He family was stunned.
Was he going to tear down their courtyard?
Chen Liang was afraid that they would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, âOf course, itâs not for free. The village will definitely compensate you. You can think about it carefully and see what you need. If it can be done, the village will definitely satisfy you. If it canât, weâll think of another way.â
Chen Liang had discussed with the elders that it was only right for the village to provide the compensation that the He family needed.
He Shanchuanâs family fell silent.
Chen Liang looked at the head of the family and said, âWe also know that you canât bear to part with it. Itâs a pity to tear down this courtyard. However, itâs a big matter in the village after all. I also hope that this road can be built. When the time comes, itâll be convenient for your family to go out. Of course, I wonât force you. If youâre really unwilling, we can expand the field to the side.â
âI agree.â
As soon as Chen Liang finished speaking, He Shanchuan looked up.
The rest of the He family looked at him in surprise.
Chen Liangâs face immediately lit up. âYouâre really willing? Then, what compensation do you want?â
âI want a foundation at the foot of the mountain,â Mr. He said.
Chen Liang was speechless. He looked at him strangely. He did not expect the guy to make such a request.
âI donât need it to be too big. Just twice as big as this courtyard will be enough.â
Since it was compensation, this request was not too much.
However, Chen Liang was a little curious. âWhat do you want that foundation for? Your family has money to build a house now?â
âNo, but I can circle it out and plant some vegetables first. When thereâs money, Iâll build it.â
Chen Liang thought about it and agreed.
âAlright, Iâll bring you the title deed later.â
After the He family was done, Chen Liang left.
He then went to the Gu house and told Gu Yundong about He Shanchuanâs request.
Gu Yundong was also a little surprised. She had no impression of the He family or He Shanchuan. If she had not encountered this incident during the road construction and specially asked Tong An, she would not have known that there was such a family in Yongfu Village.
