Chapter 336: The Argument
Chapter 336: The Argument
With a sharp "Sila," Zhou Fu's chisel slipped, and the blade went crooked.
Zhou Mu's sewing also went askew!
The two elders were stunned and looked at Zhou Chenglei in disbelief.
What did their youngest son just say? Could they have misheard in their old age?
Did they hear triplets? Jiang Xia knew that her parents-in-law were eagerly anticipating grandchildren, and she was worried that they might get too excited. The greater the hope, the greater the potential disappointment, so she explained, "The doctor said it's possible, but it's not certain if it's triplets."
Zhou Chenglei squeezed her hand and said, "When Dr. Gao says it's possible, it's as good as certain. She wouldn't say it if it weren't. Dad, Mom, you should prepare for three children! Even if it's not, it's better to have more prepared than not enough later on."
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
With so many chores to do every day, if he hadn't told his parents earlier, he was afraid they wouldn't have enough time to prepare everything.
Moreover, his father was currently making a small crib, and if the bed was too small to fit three children, it would be troublesome.
Even if it turned out not to be triplets in the end, it wouldn't matter; they would just have prepared a few extra things.
Having more clothes, a larger bed, and a more luxurious car for the children wouldn't be a bad thing, would it? This was the meaning of his hard work—to provide a better life for her and their children.
This time, Zhou Fu and Zhou Mu truly heard it clearly!
Zhou Fu's mouth almost reached his earlobe with joy: "This bed is indeed too small! I'll get a bigger piece of wood! I'll go out and find some wood right now!"
It turned out that not only was Wang Cai good at making money, but he also brought good fortune for children!
Three treasures in one pregnancy!
This completely broke the Zhou family's record of one treasure per pregnancy!
This time, they were truly prosperous!
A scene appeared in Zhou Fu's mind: a small Zhaocai on his left, a small Wangcai on his right, and a small Shancai on his back!
This scene was simply too wonderful; he had never dared to even think about it!
Unbelievable!
Zhou Mu was so happy that she didn't have the patience to continue sewing, fearing she might make more mistakes.
She stood up with a smile: "Although it's summer, babies sweat a lot, so we need to prepare more clothes. I'll go and ask around to see who still has cloth coupons."
The two of them excitedly walked towards the door.
Zhou Fu reminded Zhou Mu, "Don't go around shouting about this. It's not even a certainty yet."
Zhou Mu rolled her eyes at him: "You're the one who wants to go around boasting! Don't think I don't know that you just want to show off!"
Zhou Fu protested, "I'm not going around shouting; I'm going to find wood. You're the one who wants to show off!"
Couldn't he go out and take a stroll in his happiness? If he didn't go out, he'd have to spin around in place! He wanted to spin around right now!
Zhou Mu said, "I'm also going out to find cloth coupons! I'm not like you..."
She was so happy that she couldn't find her bearings, and she needed to go out and walk around to regain her composure, or she wouldn't be able to control herself.
The two elders left the house bickering.
The joy in their hearts needed an outlet; they had to go out for a walk and find a way to release their excitement.
Otherwise, they might burst with joy!
For the entire morning, the two elders were enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.
Zhou Fu was so happy that he made three trips to the small grocery store to buy snacks for his grandchildren.
He had no mood to work at all!
In the Big Tree Garden, the people there watched Zhou Fu's frequent appearances with smiles on their faces, their eyes filled with laughter, all guessing what good news had happened.
But when they asked him, he wouldn't tell them!
...
As noon approached, Jiang Xia was awakened by the sound of an argument.
She washed her hands and face, changed her clothes, and started translating. After an hour, she felt sleepy and returned to bed.
Jiang Xia thought she heard Zhou Mu's voice and quickly got out of bed, changed her clothes, and walked out.
Zhou Chenglei had been busy in the kitchen all morning, preparing meat jerky and beef, and he vaguely heard his mother arguing with someone. He quickly washed his hands and was about to go and see what was happening when he saw Jiang Xia walking out.
Jiang Xia: "Mom, did you argue with someone?"
"Probably. I'll go and check it out. You stay here."
"I'll come with you!" Jiang Xia started walking outside.
Zhou Chenglei had no choice but to follow her.
Behind the new house, Zhou Mu was standing with her hands on her waist, cursing loudly, "I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have you as neighbors! I've never seen such a heartless person! Are you even human? You're worse than an animal! With such a large area, why do you insist on building a chicken coop right behind our house?"
Mrs. Bingqiang was holding a bamboo stick and tapping it, "Whose chicken coop isn't built behind the house? What's wrong with me building a chicken coop behind my son's new house? Does it bother you? This land doesn't belong to you! What right do you have to interfere?"
Zhou Mu was furious, "How can I not interfere? This is the land behind our house! If you build a chicken coop behind our new house, the chicken manure will blow into our home. How can I not care about that? There are so many places for you to raise chickens, but you insist on doing it right behind our house, making it disgusting!"
Mrs. Bingqiang retorted, "You're the one who's like an old hen! Your whole family is like old hens! Does this land belong to you? What right do you have to stop others from building a chicken coop? This is our land! My son has already bought it! I will build it, and not only a chicken coop, I'll also build a pigsty and a latrine! Can you stop me? Can you?"
Zhou Mu was so angry she was about to explode, "I've never seen such a heartless person! Go ahead and build it! If you dare, I'll pour manure here every day! I'll suffocate you! You..."
If they didn't want to live in harmony with their neighbors, then no one would have a good life!
Who was afraid of whom?
Zhou Chenglei supported Jiang Xia as they walked along the new house's wall, stepping on the yellow soil that had been dug up for the foundation.
After listening to the argument, Jiang Xia had a general idea of what had happened. She asked Zhou Chenglei in a low voice, "When you went to the production team to buy the land, did you mention that the land was for sale?"
Zhou Chenglei shook his head, "No."
Jiang Xia felt relieved. Everything was based on the principle of first come, first served. Their applications had been submitted to the production team and relevant departments in the town, so she wasn't worried about the other party buying the land now.
If the other party had already acquired the land, they could do whatever they wanted with it, and there was nothing they could do about it.
"When will the application be approved?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Not that fast. It'll probably take about a week."
"Let's go and ask tomorrow to see if it can be approved sooner."
Otherwise, if the other party bought the land first, it would be truly disgusting!
"Mhm."
The two of them reached the back of the house.
Jiang Xia immediately noticed the bricks and bamboo on the ground.
Mrs. Bingqiang was using a brick to hammer a bamboo stick into the ground.
She had already used bamboo to enclose a large area of the wasteland.
Starting from Zhou Guohua's side, she had enclosed the vacant land behind their house.
Mrs. Bingqiang continued hammering while boasting, "I'll raise chickens, and you can't stop me! Not only will I raise chickens, but I'll also build a pigsty to raise pigs and a cowshed to raise cows! This is our land, and I'll raise whatever I want! If you have the ability, come and eat me!"
Zhou Mu was so angry she was about to burst, "Go ahead and build it! You build it, and the heavens will see! I'll see if you can get rich by building a chicken coop right behind my house!"
Mrs. Bingqiang didn't care about Zhou Mu's cursing. She continued hammering and repeatedly said, "This is our land, and I'll raise whatever I want! Can you stop me? Can you? This is our land, and I'll raise whatever I want! Can you stop me?"
She was truly infuriating!
"Mom..." Jiang Xia called out, about to say something, when they heard someone shouting from behind, "Zhou Yongfu! Zhou Chenglei! Is anyone home? Zhou Yongfu! Zhou Chenglei!"
