Reborn in the 1990s, I want my husband to live to be a hundred.

"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, don't rush off, let's discuss this some more." Deng Chunsheng anxiously grabbed Deng Liu'er.

“It’s not that I’m forcing you, it’s just that you promised so readily when you borrowed the money. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lent it to you. Now that you’re doing this, I’m in a difficult position.” Deng Liu’er paused and sighed, “Ah, forget it. We can’t be two Dengs, Chunsheng. For the sake of our brotherhood, I’ll vouch for you for one more day. Go and figure out how to raise the money. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

"Thank you, Sixth Brother, thank you so much!" Deng Chunsheng said repeatedly.

Deng Chunsheng's words of thanks were half-hearted, while Deng Xiuzhen sincerely thanked Fang Mei: From the moment Fang Mei learned of the Deng family's true colors, she and Qi Guomin first entrusted the doctors and people in the next ward to take care of them at the hospital. Then they discussed the follow-up prevention plan with Deng Xiuzhen. The plan was devised by the two of them, but Fang Mei made all the subsequent arrangements.

She arranged for the people in Chenjiawan, and she also made arrangements to look after the people around Chengxi Alley.

Otherwise, how could someone have seen Deng Chunsheng climbing the wall so quickly? And how could so many people have known what happened to the Deng family at the hospital?

Deng Xiuzhen thanked Fang Mei for her help.

Fang Mei said there was no need for thanks; this was the good karma Deng Xiuzhen deserved for her good deeds, and it was all something she should do.

As they talked, they couldn't help but laugh: it seemed they were being a bit too polite, and also quite long-winded.

Ring ring, ring ring, Deng Xiuzhen's phone rang.

Deng Xiuzhen took out her phone and saw that it was Deng Xiumei calling.

She really didn't want to answer, but thinking that her father was still in the countryside, and perhaps it was because of her father's situation, she answered anyway.

"Xiuzhen, why did it take you so long to answer the phone? If I needed to talk to you urgently, wouldn't it be a waste of time if it took you so long to answer?!" Deng Xiumei habitually put on her older sister's airs.

"Get to the point. If this is just to lecture me, I'm hanging up!" Having already crossed the line, Deng Xiuzhen wasn't going to tolerate her and directly retorted forcefully.

"You!" Deng Xiumei finally softened her tone and said, "When we were arranging Mom's funeral, Chunsheng borrowed a thousand yuan from Deng Liu'er, with interest. He originally planned to use the money to pay off his debts. But then something happened, and you know what happened. Chunlin took the money and ran away, but he was robbed on the train and lost every penny."

Now Deng Liu'er has come to collect the debt, saying that if we can't pay it back, we'll sell the house and the fields in front and behind it to him. I think this is my parents' house, and it's also Chunlin and Chunsheng's future, so we can't sell it.

But Chunsheng wouldn't listen to me and planned to sell all three thousand yuan to Deng Liuer.

Xiuzhen, you have money on hand, give it to them to pay off their debts first, don't let them sell their hometown..."

"It's not my house. If they want to sell it, let them. What does it have to do with me? Even if I had money, I wouldn't give it to them!" Deng Xiuzhen was furious when she thought about what they had done, and she hung up the phone immediately.

"Sister Deng, what I just heard sounds like your brother wants to sell your Deng family's house and land?" Fang Mei asked.

"Yes, all my brothers and sisters are weirdos! My eldest brother is a good-for-nothing who doesn't do anything right! I thought my younger brother would be better, but he's a complete idiot, even worse than his brother! And my older sister is brainless, she's driving me crazy! I don't care what they do, I don't care!" Deng Xiuzhen vented angrily.

Fang Mei thought for a moment and said, "Sister Deng, I heard from Guomin that your family is planning a project, something like building a factory or something. If it goes through, the land acquisition compensation will be quite substantial. Do you want to reconsider what to do?"

"Would the Deng family's place be developed?" Deng Xiuzhen tried hard to recall, but it seemed that such a thing hadn't happened in her previous life.

“Yes, that’s true. Guomin took it to heart after you mentioned the house last time. He has some connections and can get information that others don’t. However, it seems that nothing has been decided yet,” Fang Mei nodded and said.

"Even if it's confirmed, I won't care, let alone if it's not confirmed yet!" Deng Xiuzhen really didn't want to get involved in the Deng family's affairs, especially since, in her memory, the Deng family's property had never been developed until her death; it had always remained just a remote corner of the countryside.

"Sister Deng, who is this Deng Liu'er?" Seeing Deng Xiuzhen's agitation, Fang Mei changed the subject.

"Deng Liu'er? He's a local thief who used to make a living by stealing. Later, he somehow got some money and started lending money at exorbitant interest rates. He's always out doing nothing honestly. He's a complete scoundrel!" Deng Xiuzhen said angrily.

"If your brother sold the house land to someone like that, would you feel comfortable?" Fang Mei laughed.

Deng Xiuzhen was taken aback, but then she calmed down: Yes, the Deng family is disappointing, but we can't just let others take away our house and land at a low price.

Moreover, although I don't remember anything about the Deng family's development, many things have changed in this second life, so perhaps this matter has also changed, and the Deng family's development has occurred?

"Sister Deng, instead of letting those thugs buy it, you should keep it for yourself. Even if it's not developed, it's only a few thousand yuan. It's worth it to preserve our ancestral heritage for a few thousand yuan. And if it is developed, it won't hurt to let your brothers and sisters live a better life..." Fang Mei gently advised.

"Hmm, that makes sense! Fang Mei, thank you. I'll go back in a bit and have them sell me the land." Deng Xiuzhen said, getting up to pack her things and prepare to return to her hometown.

"Why don't you go and buy it, Fang Mei?" Deng Xiuzhen stopped and looked at Fang Mei, saying that she really didn't want to deal with Deng Chunsheng and the others anymore.

“Sister Deng, it’s not appropriate for us to interfere in this matter. I did consider sending someone to buy it and then transferring it to you, but I thought that if they found out, it would be bad for you. That’s why I thought you should buy it yourself. Sister Deng, some things you have to face yourself. But don’t worry, I’ll send someone with you.”

Upon hearing Fang Mei's words, Deng Xiuzhen did not hesitate any longer and immediately took Qin Yanlin to the Deng family home.

"Xiuzhen, quick! Come and talk to Chunsheng!" Deng Xiumei rushed over as soon as she saw Deng Xiuzhen.

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here, get out!" Deng Chunsheng glared at him angrily.

Deng Xiuzhen was furious and wanted to yell back, but thinking about the purpose of her visit, she didn't lash out. She simply said calmly, "If Sister Xiumei hadn't called me, do you think I would have bothered coming here?"

“Yes, yes, I called Xiuzhen and asked her to lend you money to pay off your debts. We can’t sell Mom and Dad’s house and land!” Xiumei quickly replied.

“I don’t have money to lend you, but I can borrow money to buy the house and land. I can pay a higher price than others.” Deng Xiuzhen had no intention of lending money to Deng Chunsheng.
