Chapter 236 Chen Hui, do you want a concubine? I want something more valuable!
"Okay! It's your relative who has been talking all the time. We haven't heard your thoughts yet."

"Tell me what you think."

Chen Kaiming nodded slightly, and the eyes of the second team also focused on him.

"I've taken a close look at the house! My uncle is right, it really should be rebuilt."

"But I also know the situation in the brigade. Everyone is living a tight life. It is really difficult for each family to pay hundreds of yuan."

"I've thought about it, I'll pay for the house myself."

As soon as Chen Hui said this.

Chen Kaiming, who was sitting in the middle, as well as Wu Shuisheng and An Wenjing, all looked surprised.

"Chen Hui!" Wu Shuisheng knocked on him in confusion.

The people in Team 2 looked at each other, and after a moment of stunned silence, unbelievable joy spread across their faces.

Chen Mingde smiled very unpleasantly and slapped his knee heavily with his hand.

Chen Hui automatically imagined what he was thinking: "I really deserve to die!"

"Chen Hui, have you thought it through? This is not a small amount of money!"

"If they are not responsible, who will? Where are you going to get so much money?"

Ever since the incident between Chen Xiaoqiao and Chen Qiaomei, Chen Kaiming has had a favorable impression of Chen Hui, and he doesn't want him to suffer any loss in such a major event.

It's not good to be too obvious in front of so many people.

Chen Kaiming walked up and pulled Chen Hui, then winked at Wu Shuisheng behind his back, suggesting that he should speak quickly and act as Chen Hui's spokesperson.

"Village chief, please sit back first! I haven't finished speaking." Chen Hui stood up and welcomed Chen Kaiming back to his seat.

He used his eyes to calm Wu Shuisheng and An Wenjing who were about to say something.

He sat down again and said:
"The situation is here now. I'm rebuilding the house because of you."

"I understand that you all don't have money, but it's impossible for me to be completely irresponsible. You have to give me something else to compensate for my loss."

"Get something." Several people from Team 2 calmed down from their joy and fell into confusion again.

"I have a few hens at home. I originally kept them for my daughter-in-law to lay eggs during her confinement. How about I give them all to you?"

"Then I will kill a pig at the end of the year. Hey! My child will depend on this pig for school next year."

The other two members of Team 2 looked embarrassed.

They are all from the same team and they also want to solve the problem, but they really don’t have the ability.

"Chen Hui, just tell me directly, what do you want?" Liu Fugui asked.

"Chen Hui, you don't want the land, do you?"

Chen Kaiming suddenly had an idea and somehow remembered the time when he helped Chen Hui buy land, and he blurted out the answer.

"Location?!" Chen Liping looked at Chen Kaiming, then at Chen Hui, his eyes turning thoughtfully.

Everyone in Team Two was thinking rapidly.

They discovered that apart from the land on which they depended for survival, they really had nothing more valuable.

Although Chenjia Village is close to the sea, it is not like Dasha Village which can rely on the sea for food, and still depends on the land for survival.

If Chen Hui took away their land, he would also take away their livelihood for the rest of their lives.

A group of people woke up from their joy and suddenly fell into fear and anger.

He even ignored the fact that this was just Chen Kaiming's guess, not what Chen Hui said.

Everyone gathered around Chen Hui and talked at once.

Some said nice things, some said harsh words, and some even exaggeratedly asked him if he wanted a concubine.

The core idea is that the land in hand will never be given to Chen Hui.

"Wait a minute! Chen Hui, do you really want the land?"

Chen Liping, who had been sitting on the stool in silence, stood up, pushed the other two people aside, stood in front of Chen Hui and asked.

Seeing Chen Liping like this, Chen Hui knew that he was thinking the same thing as himself. If someone said what he wanted to say, then Chen Hui just had to play dumb.

He blinked his eyes and looked harmlessly at his uncles and aunts. "I, I didn't say that! Anything is fine, as long as it's worth some money."

"No, no, no, we give you land, we can give him land!"

"Look, what do you think of that piece of land near the sea? Didn't you buy it from a team before?"

"You told me last time that you would consider buying some land from your own production team in the future." Chen Liping asked with a smile, feeling nervous.

The situations of Production Team One and Team Two are somewhat different.

A team has more people and is allocated more land, and the land is relatively good, most of which can be used to grow crops.

They divided the land for cultivation according to the labor force, and left useless land like the wasteland by the sea undivided, so it was still in the hands of the brigade.

So the last time Chen Hui bought land, he had to call the entire production team over.

Not only does the second team have less land, but a large portion of it is unusable wasteland, so when the land is subcontracted to each household, the area they can get is suddenly reduced.

In order to make it look like there was more, everything was initially divided according to shares.

If Chen Hui was willing to take those wastelands where nothing could be grown, it would be much easier than buying a team of them in the first place.

"That's a good idea! What do you think, Chen Hui?"

"Or you can return the land to Team 1, use the money to build houses, and then take over the land of our own production team."

Liu Fugui looked at Chen Liping with satisfaction.

This old man usually doesn't say a word, but it's quite useful when he speaks occasionally.

"Yeah!"

"Let me tell you, my piece of land is very good, it faces the sea!" Chen Mingde nodded repeatedly.

"What's good about the sea? When a typhoon comes, the trees are uprooted."

"My piece is the best! It's a little to the side, so I can see the sea, but it's not facing the wind."

The villagers who had just sold their daughters to Chen Hui as a concubine were now scrambling to sell their own wasteland.

In their eyes, these lands are even less valuable than chicken ribs.

If Chen Hui is willing to use these lands as collateral, it would be no different from not asking them to take any responsibility at all.

"Chen Hui, what do you think?"

"The land used for farming is definitely not available for harvest, and they don't have the money."

"But this land by the sea is really useless to you. It has been in a dead state for hundreds of years." Chen Kaiming asked.

That’s not necessarily true. These are all Feng Shui treasures.

Chen Hui complained in his heart, but pretended to be very pleasant on the surface.

"Of course I know the situation of your uncles' families."

"We are all from the same team. When my parents were still alive, they always said that everyone took good care of our family."

"But I'm still at a disadvantage with this solution. Let me make another request!"

Seeing that Chen Hui was about to agree, everyone in Team 2 breathed a sigh of relief.

They nodded repeatedly to indicate that they would agree to not only one request, but even a hundred.

"Tell me your requirements." Chen Kaiming said.

Chen Hui nodded.

I first cried about my poverty and told him about my difficulties.

I emptied out all my savings and had to borrow money from others to barely raise enough money to buy materials for building the house.

The labor costs are simply unsustainable.

I hope that those members of Team 2 who can’t contribute money can help out.
