That night, Chen Erniu did not sleep well.
On one hand, it was because he was sleeping on someone else's sofa.
On the other hand, it was because his family's earthen house had collapsed!
For rural people, a house is the foundation of their livelihood.
After all, there's no such thing as renting houses in the countryside; everyone lives in their own homes.
Even when it comes to marriage, many rural families will specifically build a new house; otherwise, no girl would be willing to marry in.
He Hongjuan was so adamant about borrowing eighty thousand yuan from Wang Tian to satisfy Han Meili's demand for a hefty dowry, precisely because of the house.
They couldn't afford to build a new house, but Han Meili was still willing to marry in, so He Hongjuan was determined to fulfill this request at all costs.
But now, let alone a new house, even the old house had collapsed!
