Lu Guilan was even more excited. She didn't expect to be able to return to her parents' family after getting married. She was naturally looking forward to it, but she had to consider Shen's feelings and asked: "Brother and sister, are you willing?"
< br /> Mrs. Shen lowered his head: "I listen to my sister-in-law."

Although it is indeed inappropriate to live with my sister-in-law in her parents' house, they know that this is the Lu family's wish, not to mention that this journey Come on, they all know that the Lu family is easy to get along with, and they shouldn't be uncomfortable living together in the future.

The most important thing is that she knows that the Lu family has become prosperous, and she might be able to live a better and better life by following his family.

Lu Guilan knew that her thoughts were the same as his own, so she directly said to Mrs. Sun: "That's okay, we will live with her family first. When life gets better and we have saved enough money, we can Just move out and buy land to build a house."

Mrs. Sun then used her previous attitude and asked: "You are in charge? Why don't you ask Huzi's father?"

Lu Guilan didn’t expect that his mother would be so vindictive, and she immediately laughed out loud: “It’s okay, I can make the decision, he won’t disagree, and we haven’t always lived like this.”

Lu Guilan's idea was the same as He Jiu's mother's. Instead of borrowing money from her mother's family to build a thatched house and living tightly as a family, it would be better to live with her mother's family first, and then build a better house directly after making money. There is hope for the future.

Besides, my mother’s family is easy to get along with, and there is no such thing as discord.

Ms. Sun nodded and went to tell the village chief that she wanted to build a blue brick house, and there would be more houses.

The village chief subconsciously went to see Old Man Lu. Old Man Lu looked helpless. He felt that this family had no place of his own at all. His daughter-in-law would go directly to the old lady to discuss matters. This was his reputation throughout his life. Gone.

Seeing this scene, the village chief knew it was all right. Just when he was about to ask, He Jiuniang spoke first: "Can the village chief help my family find some hard-working and honest men to help build the house? The more The better, the salary is fifteen cents a day, regardless of food, do you think this price is okay?"

He Jiuniang had just considered this price when she met the village chief and gave him five cents before starting work. Yes, labor costs are low in this era, and cleaning and repair work is easier. Five cents is about the same, but building a house is also manual work, so I give fifteen cents.

At the same time, the village chief and other onlookers were also thinking about the price. Going to the county town to help out cost 20 cents a day, and they didn’t care about food, but walking to the county town was long and delayed. Occasionally, I have to spend money to buy food by myself, but it is different when I work in the village. I don’t have to walk a lot, and I can go home to eat. In this way, it is not much different from fifteen cents, so I am very satisfied. .

But because of the joke that Mrs. Zhang made before, everyone did not dare to say anything nonsense. They looked at the village chief expectantly, hoping that the village chief would choose them.

The village chief also had selfish motives. He arranged for his three sons and two sons-in-law without hesitation, and then selected a group of people who worked hard in the village. After all, he accepted He Jiuniang’s You can't do practical things with money, right?

He looked at the selected group of people with a stern face and said: "Since I have chosen you, you must work hard. If I know who is sneaking around and doing some tricks, Don’t let me choose him next time! Do you hear me?”

“I heard you!”

Not long after, the women who had gone home to get thatch also came. , there are a lot of people in the village, and they add up to a lot. Cui'er and the others saw that they had bought enough to build a house for their own family, and the rest was bought by the Lu family.

"Aren't these enough?"

Cui'er looked at the pile of thatch in front of the Lu family and felt a little embarrassed, so she wanted to share some of what she bought with them. .

He Jiuniang said: "That's enough. I just want to build a few thatched sheds to live in temporarily. I will buy tiles to use when building houses in the future."

Everyone already knows about his family. If you have money, you won’t be surprised anymore.

Every household has made money by selling thatch, and most of the men in the family have been selected to help build houses. This is the time when farming is slack. Building a house at this time is equivalent to giving money to the Lu family. They sent money, so everyone was very happy.

There are only a few lazy people who do not keep thatch at home on weekdays and were not selected for work. Some of them went home angrily.

After the homestead was determined, it was time to pay the money and write the land deed. The village chief prepared it in advance and quickly wrote the land deed and handed it over to the heads of each family. This time, Mr. Sun was very grateful to Mr. Lu. The person who wanted to save face said that the head of the Lu family was Old Man Lu, and asked Old Man Lu to take over the land deed and keep it.

Then he took the money and asked Old Man Lu to hand it to the village chief to prove that he was the head of the family.

Village Chief: ...Then just pretend that I didn’t see that Mrs. Sun took out the money bag. You can just be happy.

Don’t be in a hurry when building a house. After all, many materials are not available, but the straw shed needs to be built quickly, so the selected people start working from now on. People went up the mountain to cut down trees, and a group of people started to build. Everyone was busy with their own tasks, and there was an inexplicable harmony.

Cui'er and her family's thatched houses were more convenient, so they didn't ask the villagers for help. Instead, they asked Lu Fugui and others to help build them first. When theirs was finished, they went to help the Lu family build it.

From the beginning to the end of the discussion, none of themThey didn't mention the wages because they thought it was nothing compared to what the Lu family had done to help them. Moreover, they already owed the Lu family money, so naturally they wouldn't mention it. They just wanted to use their own actions. To repay the Lu family for their kindness.

The eldest and second eldest brother of the Lu family and the Zhang family brothers naturally also helped build the straw shed. They just wanted to build a roofed one. With so many people helping, it could be built before dark.

But He Jiuniang handed the puppy to Mrs. Sun and said, "Mom, please greet me while I go to the county town and buy some oilcloth."

"Why buy that expensive thing? It won't rain!"

From today on, she has to spend a lot of money to go out every day. She feels distressed just thinking about it, let alone buying it. This is something that is temporarily unavailable.

He Jiuniang didn’t explain too much, she just said: “You will know when the time comes.”

After saying that, he untied a horse and galloped away. go.

The people of Anping Village were stunned. Is this woman so good at riding a horse?

No wonder she was the one making the decisions just now. It turns out she is someone with real abilities!

Now, the villagers looked highly upon He Jiuniang.

After the village chief made arrangements, he returned home leisurely, and then took out the money bag He Jiuniang had given him earlier and counted the money.

"There are sixty-eight articles in total. I didn't expect this family to be quite generous!"

The village elder's companion Liu said with some surprise, and the village chief nodded with satisfaction. : "Being generous is one thing, but the most important thing is that they are rich but don't look down on others. They are always polite to me and the people in the village. I would be happy to have a few more of these families!"

The village chief smiled happily and said: "His house is going to be built with big blue bricks and tiles, and it costs a hundred taels of silver. Let the boss and the others work more carefully. Don't cause trouble for me. Wait for me." When I send the documents to the county town in a few days, I must inquire about the origins of the Lu family!"

Mrs. Liu agreed, put the money bag away, and the smile on her lips became even wider.
