疯狂的妻子

Three of them looked at Lui Yong.

"Brother, I\'m not mistaken. The other girl must be talented. Please tell me, where did you go today, and what activities did you engage in?"

Lui Yan teased his brother.

Liu Yong chuckled and rebuked: "You are spreading rumors!"

Zhou Xiuying gently tapped Liu Lan on the head and asked,

"Why did you ask such a question?"

Liu Lan silently giggled.

Liu Yong realized that he had to confess something. Otherwise, he would be questioned endlessly and unable to avoid the issue.

"I think it\'s exceptional. Li Changle is also stunning. We can still talk."

Zhou Xiuying and Liu Hongfu exchanged secret glances, both of them feeling pleasantly surprised.

Almost simultaneously, they thought that Xiaoyong might also have a girlfriend.

Liu Lan suggested,

"Brother, if Lui Changle is attractive, why not take the initiative to pursue her? I think you\'ll be able to succeed. I believe in you."

Liu Yong replied,

"Let\'s take it slow and get to know her better. I don\'t know much about her personality yet."

Liu Hongfu, who has been silent all this time, agrees with this point,

"Yes, the girl\'s good personality is the priority, as her beauty can\'t be eaten after all."

After a brief chat, Liu Hongfu didn\'t pursue the topic further and shifted the conversation to another matter.

"Xiaoyong, your Uncle Jianping came over in the afternoon, and we had a long chat about road construction in the village,"

said Liu Hongfu.

Liu Yong said:

"The road at the entrance of the village really needs to be repaired, it is too narrow, and some places are damaged."

Liu Hongfu continued,

"This road has been built for over a decade since it was connected to every village. The village intends to reconstruct and widen it. Last month, we pooled resources for the road repairs, but we are still short of 300,000 Yuan."

Liu Yong basically understood what was going on.

"During his visit this afternoon, Liu Jianjun must have lobbied his father to donate,"

speculated Liu Hongfu.

"Three hundred thousand is not a significant amount of pressure for Liu Yong. It is no problem for him to contribute to the village"

Remarked Lui Hongfu.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Liu Hongfu added, "It is your money. I\'m just making a suggestion. If you don\'t think it\'s a good idea, you don\'t have to follow it."

"Yes." Liu Yong said, "I will follow your suggestion."

Liu Hongfu stated, "It\'s a commendable thing to help the village build roads. Once you donate, the entire village will be grateful to you. We all still live in this village and are happy to help each other in the future."

Zhou Xiuying interjected, "Once the road gets repaired, Murakami will erect a monument at the village entrance and include the list of donors on it."

*Here the Murakami means the upper part of the town *

Liu Yong thought for a while and said:

"I will donate the 300,000 yuan, Dad, let it be too late today, tell Uncle Jianping tomorrow."

"Well."

Liu Hongfu felt pleased to hear two positive remarks in a row.

The next day…

Early in the morning, Liu Jianping woke up. He had been thinking all night and barely slept. Eventually, he came up with an unsatisfactory solution.

Helpless!

He realized that there was really no feasible way to address the issue at hand.

He is going to call a meeting of all the village leaders this morning and distribute the 300,000 yuan to everyone.

The task of raising tens of thousands from each person within a month seemed daunting, and he couldn\'t think of any realistic solution to meet the goal.

He is the head of the village, and it is his plan, willing to share the task of 100,000 yuan.

Liu Jianping was at a loss and didn\'t know where to find 100,000 yuan within a month. Even raising 10,000 yuan seemed like a challenge.

After making the phone call and informing him of the nine o\'clock meeting at the village department, Liu Jianping sat at the door of the house smoking a stuffy cigarette.

He furrowed his brows and smoked a cigarette, contemplating how to broach the topic at the nine o\'clock meeting with everyone.

"Will everyone agree with this plan?"

"Can you get 300,000 yuan in a month?"

He was smoking alone and lost in thought, his mind in disarray.

A cell phone ringing interrupted his train of thought. The call was from Liu Hongfu.

"Jianping, Xiaoyong agreed to what you told me yesterday, you come to my house."

Liu Jianping was lost in thought for a moment, and it took him two or three seconds to remember what had happened. Suddenly, he stood up with a look of excitement on his face.

"What?"

"Liu Yong agreed to donate."

He said in a very excited tone: "Okay, I\'ll come right away."

Without further ado, he hung up the phone and ran to Liu Hongfu\'s house. His wife came out of the house and saw Liu Jianping running all the way, at a loss.

Soon arrived at Liu Hongfu\'s house, and said loudly as soon as he entered the door:

"Brother Hongfu, you are not kidding me, are you?"

Happiness came so suddenly, Liu Jianping still can\'t believe it.

Liu Hongfu said: "I dare not make fun of your brother for such a big matter."

"No kidding, it\'s true!"

Liu Jianping was so excited that he rubbed his hands together, and looked at Liu Yong hopefully.

Liu Jianping was lost in thought for a moment, and it took him two or three seconds to remember what had happened. Suddenly, he stood up with a look of excitement on his face.

Liu Jianping became visibly excited again, and held Liu Yong\'s hand tightly,

"Liu Yong, on behalf of the 926 people in Dongmen Village, I thank you. Thank you so much. You have solved our big problem."

Liu Yong had a humble face,

"I just helped the village to do something within my power. I hope that when I come back next time, there will be a spacious and smooth concrete road."

Liu Jianping said, "There will definitely be."

Next, Liu Yong did what he said. In front of Liu Jianping, he transferred 300,000 yuan to an account in the village through online banking.

There is no shortage of money for road construction, and Liu Jianping is grateful again.

After thanking him repeatedly, he happily left the room. It will be nine o\'clock soon, and it is estimated that some people who participated in the meeting have already arrived.

Liu Jianping was full of energy and walked vigorously toward the village.

People had started arriving at the village meeting room, and they were chatting and speculating about the upcoming meeting.

"The village head Jianping suddenly called for a meeting. I think 80% of it is related to road construction. So far, there is still a funding gap of 300,000 yuan,"

speculated one of the villagers who had arrived early.

"300,000, this is not a small amount."

As the meeting time drew near, the attendees started to arrive and gather in the village meeting room, chattering about the purpose of the meeting, which most speculated was related to the funding gap for the road construction.

Yes, it\'s a challenging task for a small village like Dongmen to gather such a large amount of money within a month. However, sometimes, when faced with a common goal or problem, people can come together and find creative solutions.

As soon as Liu Jianping walked in, the room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak.
