After pulling earth and stripping adobe bricks all morning, Xing Rui looked at his house and changed his mind.
"Liang Sheng, I think we should buy some adobe bricks."
"Um?"
Liang Sheng didn't know what other ideas Xing Rui had in mind.
"It will take a long time to take off the adobe and build a fire bed. We can't just stay here and live in fear.
Buy some adobe bricks, and now I will set up this fire pit, and you can live in it."
Liang Sheng looked at Xing Rui blankly, really regretting what he said last night.
As soon as she said she could live here and look at the house, this woman was already impatient and was going to get herself here today.
"I can live here, but if you want a door but no doors, and a window but no windows, how do you want me to live here?"
"It's all easy. I'll find a carpenter in the village to install the door and the window on one side first. Once the kang is lit, you won't be cold."
"OK,"
Liang Sheng nodded vigorously. Although he was unwilling to do so, he knew that he had no say in this family, so he just listened.
After breakfast, Xing Rui asked her godfather to go to the village to buy some adobe bricks, while Liang Sheng went to the house to prepare a fence.
Xing Rui went to find the only old carpenter in the village, Hu Jinquan.
"Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu, are you here?"
Hearing the shouting, a woman came out. Seeing that it was Xing Rui, she said coldly,
"Silly girl, is it you? Is something wrong?"
"Oh, is Uncle Hu here? I'm asking him to make a door for me."
When she heard that she was looking for her man to work, the woman immediately laughed.
"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper is a silly girl who came to work for you."
After the shouting ended, a middle-aged man walked out of the room,
As he was washing his face, he looked up at Xing Rui.
Donkey asked Xing Rui with no expression on his face.
"You want to do the door?"
"There is also a window. Let's do these first. When I finish the whole house, I will have to trouble Uncle Hu to finish the rest."
"It costs twenty cents to open a door and ten cents to open a window."
"OK,"
Xing Rui readily agreed.
"I don't have any wood. I think there is quite a lot of wood in Uncle Hu's yard. How about this, Uncle Hu."
Xing Rui probably thought about it in his mind and said.
"I have to hit three doors in total, and if I add up the front and rear windows, I have to hit six.
I also want to open a few cabinets. I will let Uncle Hu know what they will look like when the time comes.
The lumber comes from Uncle Hu, and all these things come from you, for three taels of silver."
"Three taels of silver!?"
The woman's jaw dropped in surprise. It only cost twenty coins to open a door, but she was given three taels of silver at once. It seemed that the villagers' words about this fool getting rich were indeed true.
"Two taels of silver is enough, I don't want more."
Hu Jinquan still had a drooped face, expressionless.
When she heard what he said, the woman lost her composure, so she went over and slapped him on the back.
"The stupid girl said that she would give you three taels, but now that the stupid girl is rich, she is not short of this little money. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here?"
"Let's go cook. I'm hungry. After eating, I'm going to go work for others."
The stupid girl looked at the two and said with a smile,
"Auntie, if I give you three liang, it's three liang. Uncle, don't be polite. My cabinet needs to be packed differently from others. I'm afraid it will be more troublesome. Three liang is not much money."
Hu Jinquan said nothing, but Aunt Hu nodded happily and said,
"Don't worry, silly girl, don't you still know your Uncle Hu's craftsmanship? He has been doing it for so many years.
As long as you want it, your Uncle Hu can make it for you, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
"No, I still have work to do. Uncle Hu, Aunt Hu, I'll leave first."
Xing Rui nodded and walked out. Instead of going home directly, she walked towards the original owner's natal home.
The door was open, and it seemed that the family had gone to work in the fields.
"anyone there?"
Xing Rui walked into the yard and shouted. Dahe's wife heard the sound and ran out.
Xing Rui looked at her face, which was obviously a few shades whiter, with a bright smile on her face.
"Are you silly? Mom and your brother have gone to work in the fields."
"Where's my dad?"
"Dad, we said we would let him rest at home for a few days, but he insists on going with us and there is nothing we can do to stop him."
"Okay, I get it."
This family is really bullying. The original father lived a life of being honest and dull.
You are old and sick, but you still have to work in the fields?
"Silly, wait a minute."
The original owner's sister-in-law ran over and took Xing Rui's hand.
"Look, my sister-in-law used this thing of yours this morning. It looks much better."
Xing Rui didn't want to talk to her at first, but thought she could sell more,
I can also make more money, but I can only nod my head and say, against my will,
"It's a lot whiter. This is good stuff. My sister-in-law just sells it."
"I'm thinking the same thing. I told your elder brother last night and I told my mother this morning that I want to go back to my mother's house to stay for a few days to see if this thing can be sold."
"What will you do when you go home?"
It was a busy time. When she went back at this time, no one had cooked the food at home.
Those people who work so hard and don't come back until dark, could it be that they can't even get a hot meal when they come back?
"Silly girl, doesn't my sister-in-law want to find you?"
Saying that, Dahe's wife took Xing Rui's arm and gave her a flattering smile.
"My mother asked me to find you. You can come over and cook for them in the evening."
Xing Rui took away the woman's hand and smiled coldly,
"That's not okay, sister-in-law. Today I hired a few people to build a fire pit and build doors and windows in my house. I also have to plaster the walls.
Even our meals are cooked by my godmother and we eat ready-made meals. I really can’t help you with this."
"Silly girl, if you don't come, dad and mom won't be able to have hot meals?"
"Then you can figure it out for yourself, I'm leaving."
Xing Rui turned around and left. No matter how the original owner's sister-in-law shouted and yelled behind her, she had no intention of stopping.
But on the way home, Xing Rui felt inexplicably heavy.
It was obvious that the original owner's father was not recovering from his illness, so he went to work in the fields like this. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the disease again.
But Xing Rui has nothing to do at this time. Some things are beyond her control, so just let nature take its course!
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked a few steps, I saw a woman in bright red clothes walking over.
Ben is in his forties, and he walks deliberately coyly.
Her thick waist twisted and turned in a coquettish and coquettish way, which attracted many men to look at her.
The woman came to Xing Rui and suddenly stopped. She looked at Xing Rui with a look of disdain and snorted.
"Silly girl, I heard that you are no longer stupid and your brain can be used better? Or was it my Liu Qiang who gave you the stick?
Ha, then, shouldn’t you thank my Liu Qiang properly?”
