In the afternoon, Lu Jiang sent Feng Qingxue home and then went to find Wang Zhengguo to approve the plot they had chosen.
Upon seeing Lu Jiang, Miao Fengqin revealed a faint smile, not maintaining the estrangement she typically showed towards Lu's father.
Wang Zhengguo certainly wished for his niece's life to improve, but the plot belonged to the production brigade. He had to come up with a reason to justify it to others. He didn't beat around the bush, but directly said, "There's no problem in you building a house on this plot. I will find people to make the bricks and build the house in spring. However, you need to pay fifty yuan for me to hand over to the brigade."
Nobody could dispute the process of purchasing a house plot.
If anyone else wanted his approval for a plot, the situation would be the same; it had to be purchased through grain or money.
Lu Jiang promptly took out five large bills, "Then, I'll have to trouble Uncle Wang."
