Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 181

Chapter 181: New House
“Personal reasons.” Ling Yun didn’t want to explain, so he just answered perfunctorily.

The educated youth looked at him and thought he looked familiar, but couldn’t remember where he had seen him. Since he has brought a letter of recommendation, the educated youth can only handle the transfer, and said, “I have to inform the team leader first. The team leader will allocate a house to you later.”

“Alright, thank you.” Ling Yun nodded.

Unlike several educated youths who share a house, villagers are assigned a house because their household registration is here, and each house is allocated to one family. Therefore, in terms of housing, the conditions of villagers are better than that of educated youths. Ling Yun was waiting in the office while the educated youth went to find Han Yuheng.

Almost an hour later, the educated youth came back with Han Yuheng. As soon as Han Yuheng saw Ling Yun, he was delighted. There are fewer young people in Xie Village than in other villages. Therefore, most of their production members are old people, teenagers, or children. That’s why they had less labor forces and could not cultivate more land.

Although Ling Yun is alone, he is young and looks strong. More importantly, any workforce matters. So, Han Yuheng walked over with a smile and said, “Welcome to Team 12. My name is Han Yuheng, and I am the team leader.”

“Hello, team leader. I’m Ling Yun.”

After shaking hands, Han Yuheng asked, “Comrade Ling, do you have any preferences for your house?”

Ling Yun thought for a moment and said, “I live alone, but I plan to get married in the next two years. It would be great if I could be assigned a two- or three-bedroom house.”

Han Yuheng went to see the file and said, “There is a three-bedroom house, but it is far away from the village and close to the mountain foothills. The building is a bit old and needs some repairs. But there is a river near the backyard, so you don’t have to worry about clean water. The yard area is about 300 square meters. If you agree with this location, I will register the house in your name.”

“Thank you, team leader.”

Ling Yun is very satisfied with this location. If the house is located at the foot of a mountain, it will be easier for him to go to the mountain in the future. Moreover, since the house is located far away from the village, no one will notice if he leaves in the middle of the night and goes to the black market.

Han Yuheng finished processing the documents efficiently and took Ling Yun to his new home. Although the houses and land are owned by the government, they are registered under the villagers’ names as long as they live there. If they move out, the house and land will be returned to the government.

Riding the ox-cart, it didn’t take long for them to reach the place where the house was. When Han Yuheng saw the location, he remembered that the house assigned to Ling Yun was not far from Li Chenmo’s house. He pointed to the courtyard house on the hill and said, “The house on the hill belongs to Li Chenmo. He is a retired soldier and just got married. You and him will be neighbors from now on.”

Ling Yun looked at the house and nodded. He knew the house because he was one of the workers hired to repair it. He was even invited to the wedding banquet. He glanced at Han Yuheng and wondered how old he was. His memory doesn’t seem to be very good.

Han Yuheng seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who hired him to repair the house in the first place. Since he had already forgotten, Ling Yun didn’t bother to remind him. After all, he has nothing to do with the team leader. He came here not only to avoid Sheng Xiaohong, but also to repay someone’s kindness.

When he arrived at the house, Han Yuheng discovered that Ling Yun did not use both arms when moving things. So, he couldn’t help but ask, “Comrade Ling, why did you only use one arm? Are you injured?”

Ling Yun nodded and said, “I was injured when I went to the mountain to pick firewood.”

Han Yuheng was stunned and asked again, “Did you venture into the mountains?”

“No. I only picked at the foot of the mountain, and a wild boar attacked me. It seems that even at the foot of the mountain, it is not safe.” Ling Yun said calmly.

“Then I should remind the villagers to be careful when collecting firewood. It would be great if no one went to the mountains. It is too dangerous. A few years ago, several villagers went to the mountains to catch wild animals, but they were attacked by a tiger instead.” Recalling the accident, Han Yuheng said with a hint of fear.

“Did they survive the attack?” Ling Yun asked.

“Of the seven people, five died on the spot, and only two returned to the village. Both were seriously injured and both died a few days later. From then on, no one dared to go up the mountain. You’d better not go into the mountains.” Han Yuheng said seriously.

Ling Yun nodded and said, “I understand. Thank you, team leader, for the reminder. ”

“It’s nothing. Just don’t go to the mountains.” Han Yuheng said while helping him move his things into the house.

Ling Yun did not continue talking about this topic and moved the items over in silence. He would need to return the ox-cart later. Because the house has been uninhabited for a long time, the mud walls are damaged in many places, and the hay on the roof also needs to be replaced. As for the pillars and beams, they are still in good condition.

There were a lot of spider webs in the corners of the house, the ground was covered in dirt, and some weeds grew in the gaps. Ling Yun looked around and estimated that it would take some time to repair the house.
