Listening to Guisheng’s wife and husband’s words, Third Uncle was utterly speechless.

You come knocking on the door without even asking about the person’s injury, yet you talk about compensation when nobody has brought it up.

Finally unable to hold back, he snorted coldly, “One thousand five isn’t much anyway, and besides, Guaizi nearly lost his life for it—the boss compensated, so naturally he has to take it.

Fine, if you don’t want to, forget it.

I’ll go and ask around for Guaizi in other places.”

“Third Brother.” Su Zongming changed his thoughts and called out to Su Zongyou, “Guaizi’s family wants to build a house and, as a matter of principle, we should definitely support that.

Look, Guisheng has two sons; they’ll surely need their own place to build new houses when they grow up.

However, the kids are still young, and it will be a few years before they can marry.

You go back and have a word with Guaizi.

Tell him if he trades that plot at the head of the village and adds a thousand yuan, we will give him our residential plot.”

Hearing his older brother’s words, Su Zongyou’s heart sank.

Now they wanted both the land and the money.

He remembered that as a kid, his older brother wasn’t like this.

Back then, his elder brother was very loyal and would always save the good stuff for him.

Going to buy a plot of land from another family would cost only about a thousand yuan.

However, he couldn’t decide this on his own; he had to go home and ask Guaizi and see what he himself wanted.

“I am just helping Guaizi to ask around, whether it’s possible or not is still up to him.” Third Uncle said as he left.

No sooner had Su Zongyou left than Su Guisheng asked Su Zongming, “Dad, why did you only say a thousand?

It should at least be more than a thousand.”

“Aren’t we still the ones who have to make the decision about Xiaofeng’s marriage?” Su Zongming smiled gently, “This way, by giving Guaizi a favor, we will have even more say in Xiaofeng’s marriage.

If Xiaofeng disagrees, we’ll just take the residential plot back.”

Su Guisheng thought about it and agreed, “There’s a saying ‘the older the ginger, the spicier.’ As long as the eldest takes our family’s land, either Xiaofeng marries Liu An, or they give the land back to us.”

“What we’re doing is for Guaizi’s own good.

Xiaofeng doesn’t have a good reputation now; she can’t just stay at home growing mold.” Su Zongming was determined to see Xiaofeng married off.

…

“Second Brother and Guisheng mean that if you want to build by the side, it’s okay.

If you trade that plot at the head of the village and throw in a thousand yuan, they will agree to let you use it,” Su Zongyou refrained from commenting on whether his second brother’s actions were right or wrong and decided to see what Guaizi thought first.

He Ximei was not only upset about the money but also about the trade for land.

She immediately said, “It’s not like we have to build on the side.

If they are unwilling, forget about it.

We can just build our house at the head of the village; it’s not a big deal.”

It’s just being closer to the pigsties and cow sheds, it’s not unlivable.

Xiaofeng’s mind raced, wondering why they had to fixate on someone else’s plot.

Wouldn’t it just work to rebuild on the old house’s site?

It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford the one thousand yuan; she just didn’t trust Su Guisheng’s family—if they suddenly retracted their permission to build, whether they could get the money back was questionable, and she expected they would take that plot at the village head too.

Therefore, to prevent such a scenario, it was best not to entangle interests with Su Guisheng’s family.

The most important thing was that she certainly wouldn’t be staying in the village for long.

For the sake of the baby, she was going to buy a house in the city.

“Third Uncle, our family only has so much money.

If we buy the plot, we probably won’t have enough left to build a new house.

I was thinking, we can just fix up the old house,” Su Xiaofeng made up her mind to buy a house in the city, so naturally, the land matter didn’t concern her.

Third Uncle knew about their financial situation too; even if they got compensated one thousand five, where could that possibly take them?

If they actually spent a thousand on land, there would be no money left for building a new house.
