Chapter 61 Eavesdropping

Chapter 61 Eavesdropping

Lin Hui nodded: "Is there any more?"

An Shuyao looked around and found that the fence on the rock pile was really unsightly: "I also want to push down the fence and replace it with a wooden fence."

Plant the flower seeds in spring, the vines will wrap around the fence, and the flowers will bloom. It will be beautiful then.

Lin Hui responded: "Okay, but this project will take several days to complete. The general labor cost for building a house in Rock Village is twelve cents per person. Yao girl, do you think this price is acceptable?"

An Shuyao naturally had no objection. The labor force in ancient times was inherently cheap and it was not easy for everyone. She pondered for a moment and said, "If I pay an extra three cents, lunch will not be included. Uncle Lin, do you think so?"

"I'm going to ask. By the way, I've sent someone to Changling Village to order the bed you want. There's a cheap carpenter there with good skills, and it will probably be delivered the day after tomorrow."

In Taolin County, the villages are almost close to each other, and there is not much separation between them. In addition to Yanshi Village, there are four surrounding villages: Taozi Village, Changling Village, Guangming Village, and Muluo Village.

When we go to the market, it is also composed of these five villages, and the bustling level is no worse than in the county.

A faint smile appeared on An Shuyao's lips: "Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Lin Hui waved his hand: "It's okay."

With that said, he went to discuss wages with the workers.

When the villagers heard that lunch could be exchanged for three pennies, they all smiled. They would rather not have this lunch, as three pennies was more cost-effective to them.

The most indispensable thing in the mountains is trees. Everyone in An Shuyao's yard was too busy to touch the ground. An Hao carried two rabbits to the door and squatted down. The rabbits were obedient and followed him without running away.

When Shi Huanhuan passed by, he saw An Shuyao's family repairing their house.

Because of Uncle Zhou's trumpet, the news about An Shuyao's business with the big restaurant was spread from one person to another, and almost the whole village knew about it in one morning.

Including the fact that she bought land in Rock Village, An Shuyao has truly settled in Rock Village.

Not only Shi Huanhuan came, but when they heard that An Shuyao's family was going to build a house, some women even came to the door with bowls in their hands to watch because their husbands were busy among them.

Shi Huanhuan came over intentionally to take a look. She felt sour in her heart. She thought she was living in poverty, but she didn't expect that the dead camel was bigger than the horse. She still had some wealth, but her wealth was probably wiped out because of this time.

That's it.

She was passing by with a basket, and then her eyes glanced at An Hao at the door. Her eyes paused. She also heard that this seemed to be An Shuyao's little nephew. There was no one in the An family who looked bad, just a little baby.

They are all made of finely carved jade.

Shi Huanhuan tightened her hands on the basket, took a deep breath, and then headed towards the mountains to see if she could still find wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables on the outside had long been harvested, and she had never gone deeper, but thinking that there were hunters nearby, she emboldened herself to go deeper.

What she didn't expect was that she met Liu Yuxue in the mountains.

She also doesn't have any good impressions of Liu Yuxue and Shi Huanhuan. If she hadn't been so attractive, how could Young Master Hu have chosen her? And it's already reached that point. Her disobedience has been made public, and she feels embarrassed.

Well, if she encounters such a thing, she might as well just hang herself and save her last face.

At this time, Liu Yuxue was facing away from her. In front of a strange plant, Liu Yuxue picked non-toxic mushrooms, then looked at the large basket full of them, and murmured happily: "How profitable can these things be?"

The money is short, so I have to pick more."

Making money?

When Shi Huanhuan heard this, he rolled his eyes and approached very lightly. But when she stepped on a dead branch, she made a crisp sound. Liu Yuxue turned back instantly and covered the gallinomycete with a piece of green cloth.

Even though her hands were fast, Shi Huanhuan still read it quickly and remembered it in her mind.

Shi Huanhuan smiled kindly at Liu Yuxue: "Liu Yuxue, what are you picking?"

Liu Yuxue stood up with the basket in hand: "It's nothing."

"Okay." Shi Huanhuan shrugged. She pointed to the basket and sighed: "I'm here to pick wild vegetables, but it's October and wild vegetables are not easy to find. I've gone deep into the mountains, but there are still none.

.”

Liu Yuxue and Shi Huanhuan were not familiar with each other, and they had nothing to talk about.

For some reason, although Shi Huanhuan in front of her had a smile on her face, Liu Yuxue felt that everything was hypocritical, and her indifferent look was full of contempt.

Liu Yuxue pursed her lips and looked kind. "You can pick it, I'm going back."

She walked around Shi Huanhuan and went down the mountain. It wasn't until her figure disappeared that Shi Huanhuan looked at where she was squatting. There was a rotten-looking tree stump there.

There were traces of being picked on it, and a small plant fell on the ground. Shi Huanhuan picked it up and smelled it. They usually wouldn't pick this thing because it was said to be poisonous.

But just now she quietly heard Liu Yuxue saying that this could make money, which immediately reminded her of Uncle Zhou saying that An Shuyao was doing business with a restaurant.

A poor person settled down and became rich all of a sudden. Perhaps An Shuyao was selling this?

Thinking of this, her heart felt hot and her breathing became quickened. She compared it with the small plant in her hand and began to search deeper.

I collected a small basket before going down the mountain. When I passed by An Shuyao's house again, I saw that the small house that had been built had already begun to take shape. It would probably be completed before evening.

She walked quickly and hurriedly returned home.

As soon as Aunt Shi saw her, she asked, "Did you go to the Lu family again?"

"You girl, why don't you listen? By the way, Li Xiucai is back today. His academy has a few days off. Didn't you embroider a few handkerchiefs? You will give one to Mrs. Li tomorrow as an excuse to let her remember you.

That's great. When the new year comes, Mom will let you talk to me, and I'm sure it will be done."

Shi Huanhuan was really irritated. It was Li Xiucai again. Although Li Xiucai was fair and smart among this group of villagers, he was not as stunning as Lu Jin.

Shi Huanhuan didn't want to get entangled with her on this topic, so he responded perfunctorily: "Mom, I still know which is more important. I said I don't care about his family. I went to the mountains today and found a treasure."

Upon hearing the treasure, Aunt Shi immediately became energetic. Shi Huanhuan took away the cloth covering the basket, revealing the white mushrooms inside. When Aunt Shi saw it, her face changed drastically: "Why did you bring this kind of poison home?"

Shi Huanhuan immediately retorted: "This is not a poison. An Shuyao's family made their fortune by selling this. Otherwise, you can see how she has money to buy land and build houses. Besides, I heard this with my own ears. Absolutely."

That’s right.”

Aunt Shi's eyes fell on the mushroom: "Then how to confirm that it is non-toxic?"
