Chapter 588: Can you give me these coffin boards?
After hearing this, the clerk, who had originally wanted to complain, could no longer suppress his feelings.

While talking about the situation, he started complaining.

After Chen Liping finished modifying the floors, there were still a lot of wooden boards left in the house.

They all discussed it and agreed to borrow it for a few days and also promised to compensate if it was damaged.

Chen Liping went out early and came back late, so he just hid himself in the ground.

No matter what Ding Xiaohong said, her point was unconvincing. She said that her family needed the money right away and she refused to lend it.

Chen Liping was finally found, and he agreed for the sake of face.

When I went to his house, Ding Xiaohong blocked the door.

"Every family has its share of difficulties. He will suffer sooner or later if he continues like this."

"Anyway, I don't care about what happens in his family. The village chief can criticize me if he is not satisfied." The clerk said indignantly.

"Why should I criticize you? This time it's Brother Liping's family who went too far." Chen Xiaoqiao responded immediately.

Chen Kaiming didn't say anything and listened to the two of them singing in unison as they arrived at Wu Jinhua's house.

Her door was not locked, so several people pushed it open and walked in.

The borrowed wooden boards include some newer and some very old.

Some are long, some are short, some are thin, and some are thick. People who see them will feel obsessive-compulsive.

"Dad, isn't this not decent enough?" Chen Xiaoqiao said, looking at the board.

"Uncle, these pieces were moved from your house, right?"

Chen Hui noticed that there were a few boards standing alone on the edge of a pile of wooden boards.

These boards are long and wide, with uniform thickness, and have been painted, with a very even paint surface.

"Eh? Dad, this isn't yours."

"Why did you bring all this here? What are we going to use after we finish stepping on it?"

Chen Xiaoqiao recognized the boards and excitedly stepped forward and spoke.

"It only takes one day. If you take it home and wash it, it can still be used."

"Anyway, when Master Jiang comes to do it, we'll just have to sand it down and repaint it, so why should we be afraid?"

Chen Kaiming waved his hand indifferently.

"No! Who would lay such a board on the ground for people to step on?"

"How unlucky! It will affect the fortunes of future generations!" Chen Xiaoqiao said reluctantly.

Chen Kaiming walked up and knocked him on the ground.

"You are educated, but you believe this kind of thing."

"When I die, I will be reincarnated. It won't affect you no matter what kind of wooden box I'm put in," said Chen Kaiming.

This idea was so advanced that Chen Hui looked at Chen Kaiming with some surprise.

After all, I had this idea decades later, after I had seen a lot of things in the market.

"Brother Kaiming, don't talk nonsense," Chen Guobiao couldn't help but say.

"This is for the benefit of the village and is a great merit."

"It will only bring good luck to future generations, not reduce their fortunes."

The clerk persuaded Chen Xiaoqiao and explained with a smile: "Your father said this."

"Am I wrong?" Chen Kaiming said.

"I think what my uncle said makes sense!"

"Why don't you give me these boards when the time comes, and I'll buy a few new ones for my uncle." Chen Hui said with a smile.

Chen Xiaoqiao was unwilling to do so. "I have three sons at home. Even if the board is broken, I won't ask you to buy a new one."

"I have some at home too. I can just bring them to my doorstep and use them," Chen Hui added.

"These are some nice looking ones. Spread them to this intersection."

"Piece the rest together and lay it from here to the bridge."

"These wooden boards are still useful in other people's homes. First, use a hoe to clear the large stones on the ground to prevent them from being cracked."

Chen Kaiming nodded and pointed at the wooden board and began to give instructions.

Wu Jinhua didn't bring a hoe up the mountain today, so Chen Hui found it and handed it to Chen Xiaoqiao.

He ran to his own home to get two, and borrowed two from Chen Guogang's home. Several people were busy on the village road.

This thing is easy to say but not easy to do.

First, you need to clear the weeds and large rocks on the road. In some steep and slippery places, you should also leave some stones to fit in the gaps between the wood.

It turned out that Chen Kaiming borrowed tiles from the village to pad several places.

In order to prevent the tiles from being broken into pieces and damaged by being stepped on, a layer of soil should be laid.

"Village head, clerk, what are you doing? Is there anything I can help with?"

"I made some tea and brought it here, okay?"

When Chen Hui went to borrow a hoe, Wang Hongmei asked.

When he heard that it was to build a road for the village, he immediately made a bucket of tea and brought it over.

"Sister-in-law, please go and take care of your own things. There is nothing I can help you with here." Chen Guobiao said.

Wang Hongmei went back and got a few cups of water and washed a few pears.

He placed the pear and the cup on the mound at the intersection and said:
"Village head, clerk, big brother, this pear was brought back from the mountain by Guo Gang himself. It's not big but very sweet. You can have some."

"Chen Hui, Xiaoqiao, Li!"

Several people responded to her.

They praised Wang Hongmei for her kindness and Chen Guogang for his good luck.

Continue working with your hands.

"Everyone is poor now, so it's okay to be stingy. If you are too stingy, even the God of Wealth won't come to you."

"Look at Guogang and Liping. They both have three children. Their lives are much worse."

The clerk sighed again.

Chen Hui and Chen Xiaoqiao were working at the door of his house.

Chen Kaiming and a few others were at the intersection of the hillside road, the section leading to Wu Jinhua's house.

Chen Hui nudged Chen Xiaoqiao with his hand and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the clerk today? Are you so upset about Li Pingbo?"

"Last time, they insisted on removing the roof during a typhoon. He worked all morning and was a little unhappy."

"This time he was responsible for going to Liping's house to borrow the wooden planks."

Chen Xiaoqiao didn't finish his words.

Chen Hui nodded and whispered, "Ding Xiaohong is the most arrogant person I have ever met. She doesn't give face to anyone in the village."

Lin Jiao was going to work, so An Wenjing helped look after the shop for a while.

As soon as he had some free time, he hurried over with a hoe to help.

"daughter in law!"

"It's enough that you have your man here! Don't do this kind of heavy work."

"We still have dried vermicelli and pickles from Uncle Guo Biao's home. Go and cook some snacks. We'll all be hungry soon."

Chen Hui saw it and strode over to take the hoe from An Wenjing's hand.

"Okay! Then I'll go make some snacks."

"We still have some smoked meat left. How about cooking some? Eating meat will give you the energy to work," An Wenjing suggested.

Chen Hui nodded and reached out to pinch her little face.

An Wenjing slapped his hand away and walked away smiling.

"Chen Hui, before Wen Jing got married, she swung the hoe faster than my wife!"

"How come after getting married, you can't even do a simple job of digging up stones from the ground?" Chen Guobiao joked.

"I'm a newlywed, so I can't be a bit cheesy! You're everywhere!"

The clerk wiped the sweat from his face and stopped to join in.

"You're still newlywed? It's been several months." Chen Guobiao was not convinced.

"I married her to make her live a good life!"

"If everything remains the same as before, then this marriage will be in vain, right?" Chen Hui smiled.
