"Yes, there was a strong wind and rain that night, which damaged the house. That night we stayed at the second uncle's house. When we went back, we found out that the house was in such a bad state." He Chunmei also felt helpless when she mentioned the broken house.
.
"I would say that the house should have been repaired a long time ago. It leaks when it rains and air leaks in winter. How can anyone live in it, let alone a child like Brother Xia at home?" Chen Hong took Sister Lan's son.
I raised my head to drink the bowl of water that was brought to me. Because I drank too fast and took a big mouthful, some of the water flowed in and out from the corners of my mouth, down my neck and into my clothes.
"What my aunt said is true, but our family has been unable to come up with money. Fortunately, this year has coincided with a good harvest, and the wheat has been sold for several hundred cents more than in previous years." Lu Ziyuan teased Lu Ban.
Xia continued while seemingly chatting.
"I heard that you are planning to knock down the old house and build it again, along with the yard?" Chen Hong asked.
He Chunmei nodded, "Yes~"
Unexpectedly, Chen Hong suddenly screamed, "Hey, that will cost a lot of money, right? At least twenty or thirty taels of silver, right? Your family only has so little land, even if you sell all the wheat, it will be enough
Money?”
"Sister Wan a few days ago..." As soon as He Chunmei opened her mouth, Lu Ziwan immediately interrupted, privately tugging on her mother's clothes.
"Auntie, the money is not enough. Who doesn't know the situation of our family? How many years can it take to save twenty taels of silver without eating or drinking? But if the house is so broken that it is uninhabitable, it has to be rebuilt, right?" Lu
Zi Wan said, "Fortunately, our family also has the help of our second uncle and his family. Knowing that our family was in trouble, our second uncle and second aunt both took out all the money from the family and helped our family borrow money from everywhere. Only then did we save up."
Twenty taels of silver."
He Chunmei looked at Lu Ziwan who was talking nonsense with some surprise. She frowned and didn't know what she was thinking. However, Ge Rui was stunned for a moment and then smiled without revealing it. She secretly thought that Lu Ziwan was the one who had an idea. If this happened
If she told her aunt that she earned the money, her aunt would definitely publicize the matter widely, which would cause a lot of trouble.
"Ah? The child and her second uncle's family borrowed it for me? You don't have any money yourself?" He Hong seemed to be in disbelief. I heard that Lu Banxia had candy to eat, so where would he go without money?
What kind of food should I buy for my children?
"Yes, didn't we just harvest the wheat and sell it in the town a few days ago? Thanks to God, we sold it for eight taels of silver, and the rest was borrowed by my second uncle and second aunt. Hey,
All the money was used to build a house, and we still owe a lot of debt. Our family will be even poorer for several years." Lu Ziyuan sighed, with a look of depression on her face, as if she was afraid of the poor life in the future.
.
Chen Honghu kept a straight face and said nothing, but he also believed Lu Ziwan's words in his heart. He was calculating in his mind that Lu Ziwan's family's land could only be sold for eight taels of wheat, so it was true that it could only be sold for so much.
"Oh, by the way, aunt, you heard in your village that our family is going to build a house. Did you come here specifically to give money to our family today? My uncle and aunt also know about our family. Does grandma know about our family?
Are you having a hard time asking your aunt to give us money?"
Lu Ziwan just spoke, then turned around, and with her little daughter, she drank He Chunmei's face coquettishly, "Mom, I said that my aunt and her family knew that we wanted to build a new house and had no money, so they would give us money to help us! Look, my aunt today
