The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 335 Misfortune Never Comes Alone_1

The scene in the courtyard, although exceedingly picturesque,

some days had passed before Li Qing finally got to savor Han Mei’s fragrance again, reliving the progress made in the previous days.

But they did not actually get down to it.

Han Mei still insisted Li Qing hadn’t practiced enough, and Li Qing couldn’t bring himself to do it with Tian Yue’e shamelessly in front of Han Mei.

So, in the end, the result was that Li Qing took considerable liberties with both women and then let the matter drop.

After the two women got dressed, Li Qing suddenly heard some news that made his jaw drop.

Tian Yue’e’s house had collapsed!

While moving some important things out, Han Mei and Tian Yue’e got all dusty, which is why they were sunbathing and taking a bath in the yard.

"How did the house just collapse like that?" Li Qing asked while biting into a watermelon.

"Don’t you know about their family’s house? It was built by her grandfather. Yue’er had been away for so long, and when she returned, she just did some minor repairs. The fact that it lasted until now means the quality was very good," Han Mei said.

"I just discussed it with Yue’er, and we are going to take out some money to help her rebuild the collapsed room first. We’ll leave the rest for a full renovation next year. Do you have any objections?"

"Let’s get one thing straight, this is a loan!" Tian Yue’e said.

Li Qing’s face immediately turned sour, "Loan? There’s no need for that. You are my women, and I will make this decision!"

"For the whole courtyard’s reconstruction, I will pay. Sister-in-law, is that okay?"

Li Qing felt it was essential to step up and take charge of the household at critical times.

To instill in them the consciousness of having a home.

Han Mei nodded, "I definitely have no objections."

"No, the reconstruction of the whole courtyard would cost too much, it’s completely unnecessary," Tian Yue’e advised, "I’m not even sure how long I’ll stay in the village after this. Just build one room that’s enough for me and Yue Qin to live in."

"If you leave here, where will you go? At least you’re here now, so listen to me and let’s rebuild it," Li Qing said. "Reconstruction of the whole courtyard will probably cost around sixty or seventy thousand, which is not a lot."

"Sixty or seventy thousand, and you say that’s not a lot?" Tian Yue’e rolled her eyes. "No way, no way!"

"Vixen, you’re being modest now? I think we should listen to Qingzi on this," Han Mei suggested.

"It’s a lot of money!" Tian Yue’e muttered with a troubled face.

"It’s decided then!" Han Mei said, "We’ll pick an auspicious day to tear down your old house."

"You two are ganging up on me, are you trying to sell me to make the money?" Tian Yue’e shook her head and laughed wryly.

"You’ve already sold yourself, haven’t you?" Han Mei teased.

Tian Yue’e gave Li Qing a tender look, "Come on, let’s go inside. I’ll give you a taste of sweetness first."

"That’s enough, it’s like I don’t exist," Han Mei called out.

"During this time, you and Yue Qin can stay at my place. It’s a bit cramped, but it’s still okay for two people,"

"It might not be convenient. I’ll just put up a temporary shelter or stay at the convenience store. Yue Qin can stay with you," Tian Yue’e frowned, "Yue Qin needs to focus on preparing for next year’s college entrance examination; her studies are demanding, and I’m certain I won’t get proper rest."

"How can you stay in a temporary shelter, and it’s not safe for you to be alone at the convenience store at night. Otherwise, you can stay with Auntie Yu Lan for the time being. Ever since Wu Xingxing moved out, she’s been on her own. Once Yue Qin starts school, you can come stay with me and sister-in-law. It’ll be a few months before the house is rebuilt," Li Qing said thoughtfully, with a hint of ulterior motive.

Tian Yue’e gave Li Qing a sideway glance, clearly unimpressed.

As soon as Li Qing opened his mouth, she knew he was up to no good.

Han Mei didn’t notice the exchange of looks between the two and happily said, "This arrangement is indeed quite good, forget about running the grocery store and setting up the stall, they’re both unsafe."

"I think we should decide on that," Li Qing said.

"Okay!" Tian Yue’e nodded to Li Qing and agreed first.

Actually, she also felt it wasn’t very convenient to stay at Han Mei’s.

If she really moved in, she might have to stay away from Li Qing.

After the matter was settled, Li Qing also went to Tian Yue’e’s house to take a look.

The scene was simply one of ruins.

The collapse of the main beam directly led to the collapse of the house.

Fortunately, no one was inside during the day; otherwise, it would have been a huge disaster.

After handling the situation, Li Qing just got home when Wu Xingxing barged in, flustered.

"Qingzi, quickly take me back home, something has happened to my family!"

Li Qing got a fright, another incident?

He quickly asked, "What happened?"

"My mom was spraying pesticide in the field, and someone’s sheep ate it and several died," Wu Xingxing said breathlessly. "Hurry, let’s walk and talk, they are blocking our door right now."

"Alright, then let’s hurry."

Li Qing went into the house to take some money, tucked it into his bag, and rushed home with Wu Xingxing.

"Did your mom put up a sign or something when she sprayed pesticide in the field?" Li Qing asked on the way.

"Of course she did," said Wu Xingxing. "Several families in the village raise sheep, and my mom was worried about this too."

"But who knew something like this would still happen. Those people are always trouble, and now that we’ve tangled with them, it’s like dealing with a sticky plaster."

"Don’t worry, don’t be nervous, let’s go and check it out first," Li Qing said.

It didn’t take long for Li Qing to rush to Five Springs Village with Wu Xingxing.

When they arrived, the courtyard outside was surrounded by a large crowd of people talking animatedly.

In the center, a young man in a leather jacket despite the hot weather was shouting, "Eight sheep died, I’m giving you a break, sixteen thousand, and I’ll leave once I get the money!"

"You spray pesticides in the field and don’t even warn anyone, if you don’t pay up, I’m moving into your house starting today!"

Li Qing pushed his way through the crowd with Wu Xingxing.

"Mom!" Wu Xingxing called out, embracing the simple and honest-looking woman.

The young man looked Wu Xingxing up and down and snickered, "Is this Xingxing, gotten so pretty? I can offer you an additional condition; Wu Uncle thinks there are too many girls in his family, always keen on sending them out. I’ll make a loss, marry Xingxing to me, and I won’t pursue this matter."

"Your sheep were raised on gold? Two thousand for one?" Li Qing asked coldly.

"Who are you? It’s none of your business, our family’s matter; get lost!" the youth cursed, waving his hand dismissively.

"According to this year’s market, a grown sheep selling for a thousand is already a good price. You’re trying to swindle us!" Li Qing not only didn’t back off, but he also stepped right up to the young man. "Either I compensate you a bit out of goodwill, or we call the police. Which will it be?"
