Chapter 86: Picking a House
Before the third uncle and the seventh uncle left, they calmed Jiang Qingwan and Jiang Xiaowei's emotions and reminded them that if Qian Jinhua came to bully their siblings again in the future, they would go to them.
He also carefully instructed the village chief to take good care of the siblings.
Then they were sent home separately by the village chief's eldest son Jiang Zhixing.
"Da Ya, there are several old houses that are unoccupied in the village. Which one should you and Xiaowei choose?"
After seeing off the two elders, the village chief asked Da Ya which house she wanted to choose.
If he had time, he would ask his wife and eldest son to help clean up the house first, lest it become too dilapidated and dirty for anyone to live in.
Jiang Qingwan listened attentively to the village chief's introduction to the basic information about the four houses. These four houses were probably the neater ones in the village. The others lacked bricks and tiles and had leaky walls and couches.
The first one is close to the entrance of the village. The houses in this area are densely populated and there are many villagers living there. The only drawback is that there is a widow living next door to this house, and her reputation in the village is not very good.
The second house is in the south of the village, not very far from Baiyun Mountain, but this house is relatively close to the Jiang family's house.
The third room is in a relatively desolate area in the north of the village. There are several second-rate people in the village living nearby, so after the village chief introduced this room, he bluntly said that this place was not suitable.
The last room is at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. It was left behind after the death of a pair of lonely old people in the village. There are only a few scattered households living near this house, and they don't socialize much with other villagers.
of several households.
But this house is the most dilapidated of the four houses. After the death of the old couple, the house has been left untouched.
Jiang Qingwan's eyes lit up when she heard the village chief introduce the fourth house.
"Third Grandpa, I choose this one at the foot of Baiyun Mountain!"
This place is great. It's at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. It's not too convenient for her to go up the mountain to find food and medicine.
There are still few people in this place, so I won't offend the villagers if I bring back some special supplies.
"Da Ya, think again and don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Although the house at the foot of the mountain is larger than the other three, it will take some time to repair. Moreover, this house is not very safe as it is too close to Baiyun Mountain!"
The village chief feels that the fourth house is not very safe. Behind this house is Baiyun Mountain. Although there have been no wild boars coming down the mountain for a long time in the past few years, if there is an accident, the danger will be great.
So she kindly advised Da Ya that the house near the Jiang family was newer than the others. It was after that family moved to the city that the house was sold to the village.
Although it was close to the Jiang family, it was safe, and with him and the elders of the clan around, the Jiang family would not easily mess with Da Ya and the others.
"Third Grandpa, I chose the one at the foot of the mountain. I don't want to be so close to my grandma and the others!"
After hearing this, Jiang Fumin realized that the foot of the mountain was good and the last room was close to the Jiang family's ancestral home. He could take more care of it in the future.
"Lao San, just follow what Da Ya said, it would be better to choose the one at the foot of the mountain, far away from those shady people."
After a pause, he continued, "As for safety issues, just ask Zhixing to help make the fence in the yard stronger."
"Okay, that's it! I'll let Zhixing take Da Ya to see that house later. If you're not satisfied, you can choose another one." Seeing that both his eldest brother and Da Ya agreed, the village chief said no more.
Say more.
"After I finish going to the next village, I will accompany Daya to Lao Qi's house to get food and other things."
After he finished speaking, he added that if he hadn't been with him, he felt that the evil woman would definitely be short of money and deduct food.
But he has to go to the next village first to deal with Cripple Li's matter. This is related to the reputation of the neighboring village. Maybe he can help Daya ask Cripple Li for some compensation, so that Daya's life can be a little easier.
