Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Yunxi noticed their reactions and curled the corners of his mouth.

When the discussion was almost over, she, together with the village chief and several bricklayers, went to see the homestead, made some plans on the homestead, and asked He Dachun to drive the carriage straight to the town.

The brick kiln in the town, a place that specializes in selling green bricks, is very familiar to several bricklayers.

With them leading the way, Gu Yunxi saved a lot of effort when buying bricks from the village chief.

All the things needed to build the house were purchased in the town one after another, put on the horse-drawn carriage, and pulled back to Dongpo Village.

The blue bricks are pre-ordered and it will take at least three days to ship them back.

During this period, Gu Yunxi would visit the furniture shops in town from time to time, taking Yuan Gangzi with him to receive guests and familiarize himself with how the shop operated.

After finishing, Gu Yunxi returned home and started designing the house that Boss Gu was about to build.

There are three rooms in the main house, two on each side. One of the rooms is used as a kitchen and utility room, and the other two rooms are empty.

After the house was built, there was still a lot of vacant land behind it, so we simply used it all to make a vegetable garden.

Finally, a high wall was built around the homestead to prevent the scoundrels like Old Lady Gu from running in.

Well, that’s about it, simple and practical!

Even if Boss Gu finds a partner in the future and they live together, this house will still be spacious enough.

Three days later, the blue bricks and tiles that Gu Yunxi had ordered arrived, and they were personally transported to the village by the people from the brick kiln.

The people of Dongpo Village watched as cartload after cartload of blue bricks and tiles were transported to the open space in the village and talked about the matter.

"Hey, village chief, what are you doing? Isn't that land the village's? Why is the married girl from the old Gu family stacking bricks there?"

They all knew that Gu Yunxi's husband was an official, and they did not dare to offend Gu Yunxi, but they could not help but talk about her behind her back.

After all, the land belonged to the village. If it was really as they guessed, and Yun Xi relied on her husband being an official to occupy the village land, no one would accept it!

When the village chief heard this, he looked at the group of gossipy women staring at him. What could he not understand?

It turns out that these gossipy women thought that the vacant land in the village was given to Yun Xi for free.

So, the village chief glanced around coldly and said bluntly: "What are you talking about? It's true that the vacant land used to belong to the village, but it was sold to Boss Gu a few days ago."

"Sold? How much silver did you sell it for? Village chief, why didn't you tell you?" The village women asked one after another, and when they heard that it was sold for silver, their eyes lit up.

The village chief glared at them angrily and scolded: "How much silver is sold has nothing to do with you women?"

"I sold the land to Boss Gu, but the red deed hasn't been issued yet, so I didn't tell you guys. Forget it, go back and inform your men to gather here. I'll talk about the sale of the land and the division of the money."

When they heard that there was money to be divided, the village women didn't care about the embarrassment of being scolded by the village chief, and ran away and went home to call their husbands over.

Soon, all the men, women, young and old in the village came.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu also came, and Mrs. Wu also came. They were very curious about who would be willing to spend money to buy the residential land that no one in the village wanted?

When they walked into the crowd and heard the village women talking, they realized that it was Boss Gu who bought the land, and their faces suddenly changed.

"Mom, why is my eldest brother so narrow-minded? Why would he use money to buy a residential plot that no one in the village wants?" Wu asked awkwardly.

Old Mrs. Gu said angrily, "You ask me, who should I ask? That ungrateful bastard has already divided up all the money. He has money but nowhere to spend it, so he just squanders it!"

Old Mrs. Gu was a little confused. Could it be that her eldest son had secretly saved up some money without her knowing?

But the eldest son has been farming at home and rarely goes out to do odd jobs. Where does he get the money to buy a residential plot?

Just as she was thinking, the village chief suddenly cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, I asked you all to come here today to tell you that the vacant land in our village was sold to Boss Gu for eight taels of silver."

"This silver will be divided according to the population. Men will get one share, and women and children under the age of twelve will get half a share. You all line up and register with me to get the silver."

When the villagers heard that there was money to be shared, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down and went forward to receive the money according to the names called by the village chief.

There were only a few dozen households in Dongpo Village. The smallest household could receive more than 100 coins, while the largest household could receive more than 400 coins.

For a moment, everyone in the village had smiles on their faces, and some were so kind-hearted that they ran over to help Gu Yunxi stack bricks.

"Yunxi girl, it's all thanks to your father, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get so much silver." The villagers said with a smile.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "This land belongs to the village. My father bought it and should give you money. This is what you deserve!"

As he was talking, the village chief walked towards Gu Yunxi, handed her some copper coins, and said, "Yunxi, these are all your family's share."

"In your family, only your father and Yunle are in charge. You are a married daughter and you cannot be counted."

Gu Yunxi didn't expect the village chief to be so fair and give both the share to Gu Lao Da and Gu Yunle.

She smiled at the village chief and said, "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief. I'll keep it for my father. By the way, Uncle Village Chief, haven't we got the red deed for our land yet?"

"I was just about to tell you. I asked the village leader Lao Wantou to help me and asked him to go to the government office to get the red deed. Now Lao Wantou hasn't come back yet. I will give you the red deed when he comes back." The village chief explained with a smile.

Gu Yunxi smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you very much, Village Chief."

Gu Yunxi knew Lao Wantou. He was a ox cart driver in the village. He would drive a horse carriage to the town during market hours.

It's not surprising that the village chief asked Lao Wantou to help get the red deed.

Gu Yunxi thought about it and continued to pile the bricks scattered on the ground into a pile. The bricklayers would start building the house tomorrow, so she had to do it while she was at it.

However, when she was busy, Old Lady Gu saw her from afar and rushed towards her.

"Gu Yunxi, you little bitch, where is the money that the village chief gave you? Give it to me!" Old Mrs. Gu said in a very tough attitude.

Gu Yunxi frowned slightly, picked up a green brick, turned around and looked at Old Lady Gu with a calm expression.

"If I am the little bitch, then you are the old bitch. After all, you are my grandmother." Gu Yunxi suddenly said this.

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry at these words that she jumped up and down on the spot, cursing: "Well, you unfilial thing, how dare you scold me like this!"

When Mrs. Wu saw Old Lady Gu like this, she was so scared that she quickly pulled her out and persuaded her, "Mom, don't bother with Yun Xi. Let's go home quickly. The food is getting cold..."

However, Old Lady Gu was so angry that she would not listen to anyone. Instead, she threw Wu to the ground with all her strength.
