Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1230

Chapter 1230: Consideration ( 1 )
Liu Fuyan took the report, read through it carefully, then handed it to her mother while saying, “Mother, you can sign it.”

Shi Qiwan trusted her daughter and pressed her red thumbprint onto the paper. She had expected to feel guilt for reporting her own family.

But instead of guilt, she felt as if a massive weight had been lifted from her shoulders after she signed the document. She hadn’t felt this light in years.

Returning the document to Comrade Han, she asked, “Comrade, does our production team have any vacant houses or rooms? I don’t want to live with my parents.”

Comrade Han took out a folder and flipped through it before replying, “There are a few empty houses outside the village. The location is a bit far, but they are near the river and mountain foothills.”

“The houses have been abandoned for a long time and need extensive repairs. If you want to move in, you might have to wait until they are fixed.”

Shi Qiwan thought for a moment before saying, “Comrade, I can move in immediately and fix it up slowly.”

Comrade Han looked at her with some concern and asked, “Are you sure? The house is in bad condition.”

“I’m sure,” Shi Qiwan replied firmly.

After a brief pause, Comrade Han suggested, “How about I take you to check the house first? You can decide after seeing it.”

Although she was eager to move in, Shi Qiwan nodded and said, “Thank you, Comrade.”

Standing up, Comrade Han grabbed a set of keys and replied with a smile, “It’s my duty.”

When the three of them left the office, An Xuyuan had just returned from the granary. Seeing Comrade Han stepping out, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Comrade Han, where are you going? Did something happen?”

Hearing his voice, Comrade Han turned around and replied with a smile, “Vice team leader, we are going to check on the house in the outskirts.”

An Xuyuan frowned when he heard this and asked, “Aren’t those houses in disrepair?”

Comrade Han nodded and replied, “Yes, but Comrade Shi needs a house urgently, so we are going to check the condition. If it’s not too bad, she wants to move in today.”

An Xuyuan turned to Shi Qiwan and noticed the red flower pin on her clothes. On his way back from the granary, he had heard about someone running away from a wedding. Judging by the red flower pin, it had to be her.

Then, he glanced at Liu Fuyan, who met his gaze without hesitation. After a brief moment of thought, he said, “I will go with you.”

Hearing this, Comrade Han agreed readily, “Okay.”

With the vice team leader accompanying them, it would be easier to settle the matter since he had the authority to make decisions.

As the four of them walked toward the outskirts of the village, An Xuyuan realized they were heading in the direction of the Zhang family’s house.

If his information was correct, not long ago, Shi Qiwan had reported her ex-husband and Liu Piao for an extramarital affair. Although the report was dismissed as false, the grudge remained. Just two days ago, he also learned that Liu Piao had a relationship with Zhang Ermu.

If Shi Qiwan ended up living in this area and Liu Piao married into the Zhang family, wouldn’t they run into each other every day?

With the two of them living so near to each other, that would only lead to trouble. Thinking about the future problems, he frowned and asked, “Comrade Han, are there any other empty houses?”

Comrade Han thought for a moment and said, “There is another house near Comrade Li Chenmo’s place, next to Comrade Li Sang’s house.”

“But it only has one bedroom, a living room, and a small kitchen. If Comrade Shi wants to live there, she will have to build a warehouse, a toilet, and a woodshed.”

An Xuyuan nodded and lost in his thoughts. The location was good since it was far from the Zhang family, but the house wasn’t very livable.

“How big is the land?” he asked.

“Around 300 square meters, but the house itself is only 50 square meters,” Comrade Han replied after a moment of thought.

“Do we have any extra funds this year?” An Xuyuan asked.

The moment he heard this, Comrade Han knew the vice team leader wanted to relocate Shi Qiwan to that area. But their production team’s cash was low, and the remaining funds were reserved for emergencies.

After hesitating, he said, “Vice team leader, we still have around 500 yuan in our account, but that is the emergency fund. It can’t be used without the team leader’s approval.”

“The funds allocated for repairs and new buildings have already been used. We spent about 50 yuan to fix the educated youth dormitory and 228 yuan to build a new one.”

“Why not repair the empty houses instead?” An Xuyuan asked.

“Well, the educated youths refused to live far from the village and made a huge fuss. After a meeting, we decided to build a new dormitory so those living with villagers could move out before autumn planting starts,” Comrade Han said with a hint of embarrassment.

As an educated youth himself, he was ashamed of his peers’ behavior. Some of them had gotten involved with the families they were staying with.

It wasn’t so bad if they were with unmarried people since they could just get married, but some had seduced married men or married women, leading to fights with the families.

Since their partners were already married, they couldn’t marry the educated youth. As a result, Han Yuheng had been busy mediating disputes.

An Xuyuan frowned when he heard this and asked, “When did this meeting take place? Why wasn’t I informed?”

“It was while you were in the city for a brigade meeting,” Comrade Han explained.

Feeling a headache coming on, An Xuyuan pinched his brow and said sternly, “You should have reported this to me. Extramarital affairs aren’t just personal matters—they are crimes. There should have been consequences to set an example.”
