The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 180 - 176: Blue Bricks

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Gao Le couldn’t help but focus his gaze on the two dumbass robbers, "So... what’s the deal with you guys?"

"Oh, we ran into some stick-up boys on the road."

Xiao Chenye had gotten used to getting robbed over the years, but those robbers were always skilled and fierce. These two, however...

It’s hard to put into words.

Gao Le scratched his head, "Alright then, where are you guys headed? Want a lift?"

"No need..."

Gao Le chuckled, "No need to be so formal with me."

"We were just headed to your team."

"Huh?" Gao Le was dumbfounded, moved, "Old Five, you really are coming to find me?"

Xiao Chenye nodded, completely composed, "I’m here to... buy some bricks from you."

When he heard Xiao Chenye was planning to build a house and get married, Gao Le was almost as excited as if he was the one building a house.

He hoisted the bicycle onto the back of the tractor, "Come on, come on, this way, we’ll get back faster."

The two were put onto the vehicle, taking along the two shivering robbers.

With the tractor roaring and rumbling, the group soon disappeared along the country road.

Wen Ran immediately regretted getting on once they started moving. Although the vehicle was fast, it was incredibly loud. She couldn’t even hear a word across from her.

Not to mention, it was a bumpy ride.

Wen Ran felt like her backside had been split into eight tender pieces.

Oh gosh, she wanted off!

She would rather walk back herself.

"Xiao Chenye!" Wen Ran held Xiao Chenye’s head, hollering, "I want to get off!"

Xiao Chenye: "?"

He looked confused, turned around, and shouted back at the top of his voice, "What are you saying?"

Wen Ran: "."

She felt completely shut down.

In front, driving the vehicle, Gao Le didn’t forget to glance back at his good buddy.

Seeing the two lovebirds so close and intimate, a grin stretched to the corners of his mouth.

Hehehe, it’s wonderful, his buddy was finally getting married.

The tractor charged on, finally stopping at Cuihua Team.

Wen Ran got off the vehicle shakily, feeling like her ears were about to explode.

"Xiao Gao, you’re back," the leader of Cuihua Team came out to greet them, but stopped short when he saw two unfamiliar faces by the tractor, "Who are these...?"

Before Gao Le could introduce them, the team leader noticed the two huddled in the back of the vehicle, trembling and tied up like quails.

His heart skipped a beat, "Yaozi, Li Zongsheng, what have you two gotten yourselves into?"

Gao Le snorted, jumping off the tractor, "Uncle Chen, no need to bother, these two are pretty bold now, robbing people.

They just picked the wrong target and got caught."

Cuihua Team Leader Chen Hongling went dark with rage, "What the hell?"

"It’s true," Xiao Chenye nodded, "They tried to rob us."

Chen Hongling was furious, "Chen Yao, you little bastard, always seemed like a timid one. Now you’re pulling a robbery?"

Gao Le fanned the flames, "Exactly, Uncle Chen, don’t let him off easy! Today, if my buddy wasn’t easy-going, these two little punks would have been sent straight to the police."

He rambled on without missing a beat, "If that happens, our team gets a bad name, loses its honor, and we’ll be the talk of the town.

With such a reputation, will our girls marry well? Will our boys find good wives?"

Seeing Chen Hongling utterly flabbergasted, even Wen Ran couldn’t help but take a side glance.

My goodness, rarely does one see someone who can spin such tales!

What should one say?

No doubt he’s Xiao Chenye’s buddy. They both don’t tread the ordinary path.

"Besides, Uncle Chen," Gao Le appeared serious and sad, "Let’s forget about the petty stuff. If the boys are sent to the police, their lives get ruined.

It’s not about others, just take your Chen Yao for instance..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The team leader took a deep breath and nodded gratefully at Gao Le, "I understand."

He stepped forward and clasped Xiao Chenye’s hands, "Comrade, thank you for being so magnanimous, letting my nephew off the hook."

Xiao Chenye frowned, "Your nephew... maybe not beyond hope yet, best save him while you can."

The ’magnanimity’ the team leader mentioned wasn’t necessary.

Actually, their original plan was to bring the duo to the team and make a counter-demand, now it’s waived.

And...

Xiao Chenye also saw through Gao Le’s intentions.

The idea was to buy bricks cheap from the team leader.

"Yes, yes," said Chen Hongling quickly, inviting Wen Ran, Xiao Chenye, and Gao Le inside, and sent a kid to call his elder brother and someone from Li Zongsheng’s house over.

"Sorry to have you see such a joke," after a few words, Chen Hongling got to business, "So, are you two here for sauerkraut or some green bricks?"

Actually, Chen Hongling personally inclined more towards the green bricks.

This handsome man and beautiful woman seemed to be of marriageable age, dressed sharply, and riding bicycles—likelihood was, they were building a house.

"A bit of both," Wen Ran smiled broadly, "I’ve heard that the sauerkraut from our Cuihua Team is especially tasty, can’t miss this chance to bring some back."

Chen Hongling was thrilled, "Sure, no problem at all. As for sauerkraut, we have plenty. But, how many green bricks are you thinking of taking?"

Since they were building, they might as well do it right, get it all in one go.

The Xiao family elders would have one room, Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye another, plus a room for Xiao Chenxing and Hongguo.

Lastly, build a guest room for Xiao Chengguang to have a place to return to, and if Xiao Chenyue comes back with the kid, they could squeeze in with Xiao Chenxing and Hongguo.

If no one visits, it could be used as storage, plus have a shed and a main room.

So, four rooms, a main room, and a shed.

Chen Hongling nodded, "Got it, when do you need them?"

"The sooner, the better."

Wen Ran thought for a moment and added, "Plus, two kennels need to be set up."

Hetao and Red Army are part of the family too.

Can’t leave them out!

"Yes, yes, two kennels too."

This batch of bricks was not small, one trip wouldn’t suffice, so Chen Hongling instructed Gao Le to go twice, and also took the initiative to lower the price further.

Originally for buying bricks, they expected to spend around six hundred.

"Five hundred bucks, and I’ll also throw in a batch of bricks, along with some broken ones, get Gao Le to haul them over for you.

Whether it’s to mix concrete for a pond or pave a path, they’ll be just fine."

He rubbed his hands, "But about those two kids, maybe..."

Chen Hongling was a bit embarrassed to continue, so Xiao Chenye looked over at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran waved her hand, "What kids? Aren’t they just a bit naughty, liking to play jokes on people?"

She appeared sincere, "No problem, I like playing jokes on people too."

The crowd: "..."

No, sister, just a moment ago you weren’t like this at all!
