"Rebirth in 1980's as a charming military wife, [spoiled by her rough husband into a treasure."

 Chapter 6: All you can rely on is money

 The village chief didn’t expect her to take action so quickly and surprisedly said, “I haven’t had time to issue the permit.”

 Shi Xiaoai waved her hand. “Uncle, I didn’t show up here for the permit. Isn’t Er Jun getting married shortly? Why don’t we let him live in our home?”

 The village chief was stunned by these words while the eyes of the village chief’s spouse standing aside shone.

 She stepped forward and asked, “Xiao Xiao, are you telling the truth? Are you willing to give your residence to the Er jun?”

 The village chief looked at the neighbors’ houses on both sides to ensure no one was paying attention, then winked at his wife: “Go, prepare a bowl of rice flower tea for Rui’s mother.”

 Then, Xiao Ai pointed to the room and said, “Let’s talk inside.”

 Seeing the couple like this, Shi Xiaoai felt a little more confident.

 She had just searched the original owner’s memory and confirmed one thing: although there were few people in this village, the villagers still lacked houses because it was close to the mountains and there were more elevations and less flat land.

 Like the village chief’s house, there are only five adobe houses, but all of them, the old couple and their three sons and two daughters, live together.

 When the family’s eldest son married last year, the couple crowded into two rooms in the courtyard, but seeing that the second child was about to get a wife…

 Shi Xiaoai glanced at the courtyard, which was even more cramped than her own, and knew that her suggestion had reached the heart of the old village chief.

 The village chief didn’t expect Shi Xiaoai to come here to talk about this. He was so excited that he almost agreed on the spot.

 But after taking a few steps, he calmed down. After sitting down, he could finally ask: “Rui’s Mother, how much do you want to sell that house for?”

 Shi Xiaoai felt happy.

 Alas, it appears that she didn’t pick the wrong person. She likes to deal with cheerful people.

 Now that the village chief had spoken out, she didn’t beat around the bush and said: “Uncle, as you see, my parents are gone, and I don’t have any severe relatives in the city. Only one of my grandfathers has passed away.

 Xiaorui, Xiaoxi, and their father, indeed, even if I said a little, you already guessed it. I don’t know much where he is now, and I can’t count on him.

 The only thing I can count on today is money. “

 The village chief was shocked.

 He never expected that Shi Xiaoai would speak so straightforwardly.

 Nowadays, no one dares to mention it outright: they can only count on money.

 But thinking about it, he felt that this was right.

 She didn’t know whether the man was alive or dead, and the woman had two children and no relatives who could help her. If she didn’t rely on money, what could she rely on?

 Money makes the poor brave!

 He didn’t dare to answer Shi Xiaoai’s words, so he took out a dry cigarette bag from the desk drawer, stuffed a handful of tobacco into it, lit it, and started smoking.

 Xiao Ai was not used to a grown man smoking before her.

 But she also knew that she was not qualified to stop it.

 She had to lower her head and turn to the side, trying to stay as far away from the smoke as possible.

 And her actions like this caused her to look so weak and helpless in the eyes of the village chief as if she had negotiated the property and was too ashamed to see anyone.

 This made his feelings soften a little more.

 He sighed: “Rui’s Mother, I understand your family’s situation. You and Xiao Cheng invested a load of money when the house was first established. I know it all in my heart.”

 Although the homestead for the original residence came from the village, Cheng Yang and the village laborers built the adobe used to make the house, and the several purlins in the house cost a lot of money.

 There are more window frames and doors. Cheng Yang still used good wood at all costs, not to mention the furniture in the house.

 When the house was built, they all went to see it and talked about it a lot. They all said that Cheng Yang had spent up all the cash he had saved over the years of working and was determined to live in the village!

 Therefore, the village chief knows very well that even if they have built the house for five or six years, the empty house is worth at least three to four hundred yuan.

 Not counting the canopy bed and other furnishings inside.

 But with so considerable money, who can get it all at once?

 The village chief took two more puffs of his cigarette before speaking again: “I really want this house, but to be honest with you, I can’t afford enough money.”

 When the old village chief said this, he couldn’t help showing a bit of shame on his face.

Although it was normal for him to be unable to make money these days, he still felt hot on his face when he had to expose his shortcomings in front of a young wife at such an old age.

 “It’s okay, uncle; give me as much as you can.” Shi Xiaoai said.

 She knew that people at this time had little savings, not to mention that the old village chief’s family had just built a house two years ago and had used up all the money in the bank account.

 Even if I saved some more in the past two years, I still have to keep it for my son to find a wife, and there is no means I can have more.

 But even if Shi Xiaoai didn’t take action in this house, there was no way he could carry it away!

 Naturally, you take whatever payment you can have when you sell it; what you can have in your hands is yours.

 Seeing the disapproval look on the old village chief’s face, Shi Xiaoai explained: “Uncle, you also told us to leave quickly, so you should know more about my situation now.”

 She smiled bitterly: “I won’t hide it from you. I only have thirty yuan in my whole body now. After buying the train ticket, I have nothing left.

 From here to Yuncheng, we must transfer to a bus after getting off the train. I always have to prepare some food for the two children on the way. And I have to settle down when I get home there.

 Currently, I need help finding someone else to sell my house. Uncle, I’m telling the truth. You can help us as much as you can. If you have some helpful stuff at home, give me some, and let me take it back to Yuncheng to gift as a favor. That’s also fine. This is already the case. It helped me a piece. “

 The village chief expected Shi Xiaoai to come up with something other than such an idea. This was like a pie from the sky for their family!

 But he has been upright all his life and has never taken advantage of anyone. Knowing these three would suffer enormous losses, he couldn’t say yes.

 Seeing him like this, the village chief’s wife, who had been eavesdropping at the door, became anxious. She opened the door curtain and walked in with a bowl of hot rice flower tea.
