Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space
Chapter 40 Building a House 2
The Lu family, as well as Lu Yuanping and his wife, plus the craftsman and two apprentices, as well as the owner of the rented oxcart, worked for a whole afternoon before moving down the oxcarts with green bricks.
Father Lu gave an extra ten cents to the owners of the oxcart. They were so grateful that they took the craftsman and his apprentice back to the town.
After returning home and having dinner, the family discussed it. Mr. He and Mr. Lu went out to hire laborers. Tomorrow they would start digging the foundation for their home.
When people in the village build a house, they usually ask a few familiar people in the village to pay 30 cents a day, including a midday meal. If no meal is included, it will be 35 cents.
However, it is busy farming time recently, and many people are busy with harvesting in the fields.
Father Lu first went to the families he knew well and called around, and then the families with more strong men agreed. After all, no matter how good this job was, it could not delay the family's rice harvest.
On the other side, Gu Yunxi took advantage of Lu Jianchuan's washing time to hide in the room and sneak into the space.
The green patch in front of her is the medicinal herbs she planted a few days ago?
They have grown to almost one meter tall!
Take a closer look at the leaves of the herb. It looks like honeysuckle?
In her previous life, she had pharyngitis, and her favorite thing was to make honeysuckle tea. The more she looked at the leaves, the more they looked like them!
It's really a surprise. I didn't expect that among the seeds I bought randomly, one of them was honeysuckle. It was about to be distributed. It was about to be distributed.
The matter of planting medicinal herbs must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. We cannot delay it any longer, otherwise how will these medicinal herbs in the space be sold through the open road?
It was dawn the next day. Father Lu and Mr. He were so excited that they couldn't sleep. They carried tools and went to the land where they were building a house. They wanted to get rid of the weeds before the craftsmen and workers came, so that they could build the house quickly. Some.
Someone passed by early in the morning and saw Mr. He and Father Lu with smiles on their faces, and they couldn't help but feel jealous in their hearts.
The Lu family is really lucky. Ever since they married Gu Yunxi, good things have happened one after another. Why don't they have such good luck?
"Brother Lu, what on earth did your family do to earn so much money?" the other party asked.
Father Lu didn't react and almost leaked that it was Gu Yunxi who bought the son. Fortunately, Mr. He was there to hold him back.
Thinking of the repeated quarrels between Mrs. Gu and Mr. Fang, Mr. He responded: "How can I make money by doing anything? I just rely on the recipes passed down by the old Lu family to support my family."
"You can also see our house. If we don't build a new house, it won't be habitable."
"It's not a big deal for us as a couple. We just feel sorry for my family, Jian'an, who is only six years old. If we can't survive this winter..." Mr. He cried in front of the other party, and even shed tears as he talked.
"Hey, Sister-in-law He, your family has finally come to the end of its hardships. Life will be better in the future."
"You are the first one in this village who can afford to build a brick house." The other party said with a stern look on his face, complimented a few words, then said that he still had something to do, and left in a hurry.
Father Lu felt heartbroken when he saw He looking like she was about to cry just now, and said, "My dear, you have suffered with me all these years."
When He heard this, he thought about the suffering he had suffered over the years, and felt even more like crying, with tears filling his eyes.
She was not the biological daughter of He's father and mother, but was picked up. Her parents were unknown, and she couldn't remember the past, so she confusedly recognized He's father and mother as her parents.
At first, the He family was very kind to her and treated her like a daughter. However, soon after, He's father and mother passed away one after another, and the He family became the head of the family, and the situation changed.
The eldest brother of the He family works with others in the county town and only goes home for two days off every month. It is his sister-in-law who has the final say in matters at home.
Even though the eldest brother of the He family had told her to be nice to Mr. He before going out, Sister-in-law He still didn't take these words to heart. Instead, she thought Mr. He was good-looking, which made her men feel distressed. Sister-in-law He felt sad. Out of jealousy and resentment, he thought of ways to marry her far away.
Mrs. He just happened to hear that Sister-in-law He was discussing with the matchmaker that she would be married to a more remote place and be the wife of an elderly widower. She was so frightened that she ran away.
I happened to meet Mr. Lu who was following his master to kill pigs in Hejia Village. He rushed up to him and asked him if he would marry her.
Dad Lu's mood at that moment was like a pie falling from the sky. It hit him and he didn't recover for a long time.
He had been to this village several times, met this girl, and even asked her for directions, so he was actually an acquaintance, and he was interested in her, but his family was poor and he did not dare to express his feelings.
"Just say whether you are willing or not?" Mr. He usually spoke with gentle words, but at this moment he was very anxious, afraid that Mr. He would rush out. Looking at Father Lu in front of him, he seemed to see a stick. Like a life-saving straw.
Father Lu was tall and thick, but his face turned red at this moment, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes."
Later, Father Lu, accompanied by his master, went to the He family to propose marriage. Sister-in-law He was not happy at first. The master helped Father Lu pay a bride price of two taels of silver, and then Sister-in-law He agreed.
The marriage was so hasty that even before the eldest brother of the He family came back, He left the house and married Father Lu.
After so many years, Mr. He has almost never returned to the He family, so it means that he has no natal family.
"My child's father, if you hadn't been willing to marry me back then, I don't know where I would have been sold by my vicious sister-in-law. I feel very satisfied following you all these years."
He wiped her moist eyes and felt very satisfied. Although the Lu family was poor, Father Lu was really good to her, and the children were also obedient, so what else could she be dissatisfied with.
"My dear, my family's life will get better and better in the future, and the wife my son will marry is also a good one. Our good days are yet to come."
Father Lu patted He on the back and comforted him. The two of them cleaned up again. After the weeds were cleared, the craftsman and his apprentice also came, and the small workers from the village also arrived one after another.
The few strong men hired by Father Lu were all honest and hard-working people. Under the leadership of the craftsmen, everyone began to divide the work and prepare to dig the ground.
On the other side, at the village chief's house, the village chief was discussing with his wife to ask his son to go to Father Lu's house to help build a house.
"Jianchuan's leg is injured, so he probably won't be able to help. Jian'an is a young boy and can't do anything. My eldest brother has no real brothers. I am both the village chief and a clan member. If there is no one in the family to help, , which is also unjustifiable."
"Besides, I think Jianchuan's wife is very capable, and her life will only get better in the future. It's always right to walk around with them more in the future."
The village chief’s wife listened to the village chief’s advice and quickly agreed.
Afterwards, the village chief took the brothers Lu Yuanping and Lu Yuancheng to where the house was being built.
