Chapter Forty-Four: Opening the Road

  Just after breakfast, Chu Shengyi came. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ye Caiping, slightly stunned, what a beautiful girl. He had also heard some rumors, this should be the town's big show family. He didn't know that Ye Caiping was the daughter of the mayor, otherwise he would have been even more surprised.

  "Has Sheng Yi arrived? Have some food?" asked Second Aunt.

  "No, sister-in-law. I'll go talk to Jiaqiang about some things." Chu Shengyi sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, not being too polite or waiting for someone else to pour the tea for him.

  "Looking for me? What's up?" Chu Jiaqiang asked.

  "Isn't it a transportation problem? The car can't get to the other side of the reservoir, so you need to build a road, which will be much more convenient. Otherwise, if you use manual labor to move it over, you'll be busy." Chu Shengyi said. The cement that was pulled yesterday is still on the truck and hasn't been unloaded. Today, he came over to let Chu Jiaqiang build a simple road along the riverbank that can be driven through.

  "Alright, I'll take care of this. We'll follow the riverbank to get there, it's closer and there are fewer fields along the way. I'll go talk to Sheng Hong in a bit, we can temporarily use that small piece of land of theirs, shouldn't be a big problem. We can just compensate them for the crops on top."

  After chatting for a few sentences, Second Uncle hurried away.

  When the Chu family is strong, it's going to find the Chu family hero. After a while, they'll ask a few people for help. The Chu family hero listened and didn't say another word, carrying a big hoe and following behind the Chu family strong. The Chu family strong strolled around for a while, pulling up several idle people together, a total of six people, all about the same age.

  They heard that Chu Jiaqiang was offering high wages, and they immediately agreed. Now who doesn't know that Chu Jiaqiang is the most generous person in the village? Every time he asks for help, the pay is always very high. And this time, Chu Jiaqiang did not disappoint them either, eighty per person. This is not a small amount, previously helping others was around sixty per day, and repairing this section of road will definitely not take a whole day, just one morning is enough to get it done.

  On the way back, they also met Yang Guafu and her daughter, who were carrying tools. When they saw Chu Jiaqiang, they immediately came up to greet him.

  Chu Jiaqiang was amazed, this mother and daughter were very eye-catching, dressed in rustic simplicity, but with fair egg-like faces, they looked alike, one mature and plump, the other delicate and charming. These two mothers and daughters relied on each other for life, not simple at all!

  "Jiaqiang, I heard you're organizing labor to repair the road. Can my mother and I help?"

  Looking at that hopeful expression, Chu Jiaqiang felt a bit depressed and thought to himself: You even brought the tools, what can I do? He could only nod his head: "Eighty yuan to fix that road, you guys can fix it in half a day for eighty, take two days to fix it, also eighty. No objections?"

  Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, someone joked: "Why not let Xiaoya marry Qiangzi? That way, you can go to work. I think you two are a good match."

  When she heard this, Yang's widow's eyes lit up and looked at Chu Jiaqiang. In a place like this, marrying someone with the same surname is not uncommon. As long as there are no relatives between them, it would be fine; if they had any relatives, that would be another story, and they would face very strong public condemnation. But Chu Jiaqiang and Xiaoya have no relatives at all, so there's nothing to worry about in that regard.

  Xiao Ya's face suddenly turned bright red, and her eyes secretly glanced at Chu Jiaqiang.

  The Chu family was strong, so he glared at Chu Jia Jian fiercely. This guy was notorious in the village for his long tongue, and no woman could match him for gossiping. The rumors and slanders that spread throughout the village were mostly spread by this guy.

  "You'd better watch what you say, I'm a grown man and it doesn't matter to me, but if you ruin Xiaoya's reputation, I'll make you pay."

  "Big brother, don't bother, I'll punch his head off with one fist," Chu Jiaxiong said.

  The Chu family shrunk their necks and hastily said: "How dare I, how could I have that courage?"

  Back to Second Uncle's house, at this time, Second Uncle has also arrived, and the matter has been settled. Chu Shenghong is of the same generation as Second Uncle, and upon hearing that it was a matter of Chu University students, he immediately agreed and even pushed away the offer of money.

  At this time, Chu Jia Wan and Ye Cai Ping had already gone to the old house, said to be catching fish. Chu Jia Qiang bitterly smiled, definitely Ye Cai Ping's trickery, at home they've caught so many, today is enough to eat!

  A group of people started to open up a road, and it's not that difficult. As long as they clear out a path of two or three meters, it's fine. They level the uneven parts, dig away at the high spots, and fill in the low-lying areas with sand and stones.

  Yang widow and her daughter fell behind to tidy up the road dug by others, they were women, everyone intentionally left some lighter work for them.

  Chu Jiaqiang was originally also digging roads in the front, but relying on his strength, he broke all the handles of the hoes. Such a violent action made many people extremely depressed. Didn't this guy go out to study and work for several years? How come it doesn't feel like it?! Second Uncle had no choice but to let him fall behind and follow that mother-daughter flower pair, doing some light work.

  That mother and daughter were working in front of Chu Jiaqiang, which made him feel overwhelmed. When they bent down to work, they would always reveal a little spring light, letting Chu Jiaqiang appreciate it. Both the mother and daughter were wearing T-shirts that fit just right, and when they bent over, they couldn't cover up the patch of snow-white near their buttocks.

  Especially Yang widow, she was originally full-bodied, the beautiful buttocks perfectly outlined in Chu Jiaqiang's eyes. Even the shape of her underwear was visible, making Chu Jiaqiang almost bleed from his nose. Although it was very rude, Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but sneak a peek.

  This stealthy gaze, however, caught the attention of Yang Guafu, who saw Chu Jiaqiang secretly looking at her and her daughter's buttocks. Her face suddenly turned slightly red, and she involuntarily clenched her lower body, feeling a strange sensation that made her even more embarrassed. It had been a long time since she'd experienced this kind of feeling; although they were separated by two layers of pants, being looked at by Chu Jiaqiang was like having no pants on at all.

  Chu Jiaqiang also noticed Yang Guafu's gaze and immediately walked to the front, avoiding everyone's embarrassment.

  Everyone worked hard for an entire morning and finally managed to clear a path.
