?Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Courting Favor Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Courting Favor As such, any activities that required the use of soil such as house building, pigsty construction, stove masonry… specifically meant digging from this wasteland. Over time, the place was dug into a large pit. In the summer, if the rain was abundant, it would turn into a pond, overrun with wild grass and small trees, progressively becoming more neglected.
This land, left unwanted and uncared for, was void of any ownership disputes. Exactly as Zhuang Jingye mentioned, the land was extensive. If the tofu shop ever needed to expand, it was conveniently close to Mrs. Wen’s.
“Village chief truly picked an excellent location.” Zhuang Qingning kept nodding with a smile, saying: “Thank you, village chief, for keeping me in mind.”
“Why be so formal. As the village chief, I look after all the villagers. Isn’t it my duty to do these things for the benefit of the villagers?”
Zhuang Jingye furrowed his brows and said: “However, if we attempted to fill this pit, it would indeed be troublesome. Typically, you haven’t aided others much so now, when you ask others to help, presumably, they won’t assist. Whether filling the pit or building a house, it ends up being a nuisance.”
When it comes to house building in the village, proper manpower from other families is required. Skilled in masonry come to build walls, while others help transport materials and perform lesser tasks required to raise the house.
This practice involves mutual help. Today, others come to my aid, tomorrow, when you need help, I’d repay the favor. In the long run, no family would be at a loss, nor would any take advantage.
