Chapter 156: Climbing to the In-laws

Shen Yuyu smelled the aroma of wine and wanted to try a glass.

But Mr. Shen was afraid that the wine would be wasted by them after just one meal, so he sealed the wine jar and took it away.

Shen Yuyu could only give up.

The meal was a joyful one, and after the meal, Mr. Zhang and the others stayed here.

The Shen family continued to return to the rented yard.

The Shen family's house has not been built yet, so they need to live here for a few more days.

On the way back, Shen Erlang walked beside Ji Xun and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say your home is here? Why haven't you gone back yet?"

Ji Xun felt like he had been stabbed hard in the heart.

His 'home' is indeed in the south.

But this home is not that home.

He was originally an orphan, and his master picked him up while passing by the south when he was traveling.

The master said that it was the fate between the two of them, so he kept him by his side and let him inherit his mantle.

And his master now has no idea where he has wandered after leaving Kyoto, so he naturally has nowhere to go.

Since there is nowhere to go, we can only rely on the Shen family.

After all, the person the master asked him to find is still here, and the master will definitely come back.

He chuckled awkwardly.

Ji Xun said: "It is indeed here, but my master has not come back from traveling all over the world. I can leave when my master comes back."

Shen Erlang didn't care when he would leave.

He said: "Well, it's okay to live here."

Just when Ji Xun was moved, Erlang spoke again.

He said quietly: "Then don't forget the protection fee along the way and the food expenses these days. To be honest, you eat quite a lot."

And what Ji Xun just blurted out: "Erlang, you are so kind to me." was a bit funny.

Everyone laughed unceremoniously.

Shen Ming smiled naively and said, "Yes, Mr. Ji, you have eaten more than me along the way. I didn't expect that you look so gentle and gentle, but you have such a big belly when you eat."

Ji Xun was a little helpless. He didn't eat much. It must be because the food was too fragrant.

He now felt that he desperately needed to establish his authority.

He knocked Shen Erlang, straightened his body and took out Master Yan's stand.

"Ahem, then I haven't made any achievements along the way. Why do you think I'm half your wife? How dare you say that to me?"

Everyone started to play around and joked with each other without restraint.

The days passed like this, and the Shen family and the Zhang family have slowly integrated into the village.

The Shen family's house is also slowly coming to an end.

On the last day, Shen Yuyu paid wages to the villagers who came to help build houses.

It took more than 20 days to build the Shen family's house from start to finish, and the wages paid to each person were nearly 500 cash.

Shen Yuyu calculated the number of days for each person to work in advance and then strung the copper plates together.

Every time Shen Dalang called someone's name, someone would come forward and take the string of money from Shen Yuyu's hand.

"Hey, I may have a good year this year. When the twelfth lunar month comes, go to town and buy more meat. I will have a bright new year."

Zhu Dazhuang held a large string of money in his hand and expressed what everyone was thinking.

They all looked at the Shen family with gratitude. If it weren't for them, they wouldn't have the money.

On the last day of completion, these people helped the Shen family go to Du's house to move the finished furniture back.

With more people and greater strength, it didn’t take long for all the furniture in more than a dozen rooms to be moved back.

Shen Yuyu and Mrs. Shen went to the Du family to pay the remaining money. The Du family and his son were also very happy.

When Shen Yuyu and Mrs. Shen left, the Du family members were still smiling and said: "Auntie, if you need anything, come back. We will make something beautiful for you."

Mrs. Shen also smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely come to trouble you if I need to buy anything."

After the two of them left, the Du family's daughter-in-law said with envy: "These two families who came from famine are really wealthy. I don't think anyone in town can compare to that big yard."

Father Du also lamented that these people who spend money generously don't look like poor people who have escaped from famine.

He said: "It's other people's fault that they have a good financial background. Let's just live our lives well."

During this period of time, their family has been making furniture for the Shen and Zhang families. They need a lot of things, so they have been very busy these past two days.

Accordingly, they have made a lot of money during this period, more than they have made in the past few months.

After all, everyone came from poor times. If the bed board or cabinet is broken, it can still be used if it is repaired.

This year is a good year!

The Du family's daughter-in-law laughed twice and said, "That's what dad said."

But she changed her topic and talked about the Shen family and the Zhang family.

"It's just that I heard that both of them were in the village looking for suitable girls. I've seen those boys, and they all look good."

"I wonder if my sister-in-law is old enough. If she can marry them, her life will definitely be better in the future."
