"Qingqing, why don’t you believe me? I’ve been working hard doing business to plan for our family, how can you think of me like that? Do you know that you’re going to ruin my sister-in-law and her family this way?"
Zhou Weimin’s eyes were filled with disappointment. He glanced at Su Man’s hand, which was being stepped on by Su Qing, and, disregarding the people’s talk, pulled Su Qing away, freeing Su Man’s hand.
"Sister... you really misunderstood me; there’s nothing between me and brother-in-law. Besides, there are plenty of people who look alike in this world. You can’t just blame me because brother-in-law took a photo with another woman..."
With a face swollen like a pig’s head, Su Man was crying so hard she couldn’t make a sound.
"Do you think I’m blind?" Su Qing raised the photo again: "Everyone take a good look and help me identify whether the bastard and the bitch in this photo are my husband and my sister!"
Zhou Weimin’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Suddenly, Su Man knelt in front of Su Qing: "Sister! I’m begging you, please don’t treat me like this. The woman in the photo is indeed not me. If you don’t believe there are people who look alike, just look at the kid named Luo Mingrui next door and Teacher Shen’s husband, Xiao Jin. They aren’t father and son, but they look alike..."
"Building a road naturally requires a good road, and the standard for a good road is quality and width. Therefore, widening the road inevitably entails using a bit of others’ farmland. When some people found out about this, they came out to make trouble. After negotiations, money was given as compensation."
Kang Li was talking about the section of road from the village entrance to the main road. However, she knew that when the main road needed to be widened, it would similarly require using some of others’ farmland, and the solution would still be "money."
"You pay for it?"
"Yes."
"You built the road, and they hold no gratitude, only looking out for their own interests?"
Luo Yanqing frowned slightly.
"The fear is not of scarcity but of inequality. If a little farmland from every household was used, perhaps everyone would feel it’s fair and have no objection. But the problem is that not all farmlands of the villagers are on that road, so the villagers whose farmlands are on that road naturally won’t agree to have their farmlands taken for no reason."
Kang Li didn’t mind, because she was the one who proactively offered to fund the road, no one demanded it of her, and besides, even if it’s the state building roads for the villagers, if it requires using some of the villagers’ farmland, compensation is needed.
After all, land is the lifeline of farmers; no matter how little is lost, farmers will feel the pain as they depend on the land to make a living.
Luo Yanqing said, "I understand what you’re saying, but it’s still a bit selfish." Saying this, he lay down beside Kang Li.
"It’s understandable."
Kang Li smiled; in fact, she hadn’t taken the matter to heart.
"I don’t know what to say."
Pulling his wife into his arms, Luo Yanqing murmured softly.
"Then don’t say anything." Kang Li laughed, rubbing her forehead against the man’s beautifully contoured chin: "Are you going back to the office tomorrow morning?"
Luo Yanqing responded, "Yes," and said, "I want to spend more time with you."
"Then leave tomorrow morning. We’ll return in the afternoon; I’ll make some pastries you love for you to take in the morning."
