Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 168 Repair the house
Seeing that Bai Zhancheng was so determined, Zhang Yue couldn't refuse anymore, she said "fool" softly, then turned around happily and went to the river to find Wanwan and Xiao Zhouzhou.

"General Bai, when do you plan to accompany Miss Xiaoyue back to the capital?"

Lin Xiao asked.

If possible, she would also like to take a ride back to the capital together.

After this series of events, she had to make it clear to Han Ruoshui that if she wanted revenge, she would come at herself, and don't hurt the innocent!
"I have to go back to Beijing for at least seven or eight days."

Bai Zhancheng counted the days and replied.

How could the thoughtful Li Yuyan fail to see Lin Xiao's thoughts?
He frowned:
"I don't know Han Ruoshui very well, but since she can easily capture the heart of the Seventh Prince, and also make the always foolish and filial Seventh Prince quarrel with the old concubine because of her, I know that she is not easy. Xiao, you...don't go on an adventure!"

"Yuyan, I know you are worried about me, but this matter is a private matter between me and Ruoshui, I have to explain it to her personally, don't worry, I will be fine!"

Lin Xiao patted his chest to promise.

Li Yuyan wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Lin Xiao's determined eyes, he had no choice but to give up:
"I'll go with you!"

"Can't!"

Lin Xiao and Bai Zhancheng rejected Li Yuyan's proposal with one voice.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw concern for Li Yuyan in each other's eyes.

"You have to guard Jiuzhou Town for me, otherwise I won't be able to go back to the capital at ease!"

Bai Zhancheng said calmly.

"Yeah, Yu Yan, I still have tasks for you!"

Lin Xiao also nodded in agreement.

"But."

Li Yuyan hesitated to speak.

"No but, don't worry, with me protecting you, no one would dare to harm Mr. Lin."

Having said all of this, Li Yuyan would seem hypocritical if he persisted, so he finally had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Ah Xiao, what tasks do you need me to do?"

"I want to renovate all the houses in my family. Of course, if someone is willing to renovate together, it can save a lot of time."

The house is the face of a village, and it is the most intuitive expression of whether a person's life is rich or not.

What's more, it's the scorching heat right now, and Lin Xiao feels that this weather is incomparable to her modern summer.

Only a cattail fan is enough to survive the summer here, but in modern times without air conditioning and cold drinks, it is impossible to survive in summer!
In the memory of the original owner, winter is not only cold, but also extremely long.

Although this house can keep out the wind and rain, it is really not good enough for the cold, wind and snow.

So she wants to renovate the new house before winter comes!
"oh, I understand now."

Li Yuyan agreed after being silent for a few seconds.

Lin Xiao smiled sweetly at him.

Seeing such a bright smile, Li Yuyan's heart ached as if tens of thousands of needles were piercing at the same time.

Are you really in such a hurry to return to the capital for a showdown with Han Ruoshui?

Thinking of Lin Xiao who was drunk that night and told him that he had a sweetheart, Li Yuyan's heart seemed to be stabbed several times, dripping with blood!

His face became more and more ugly.

Looking at his pale face, Lin Xiao couldn't help but frowned:
"What's the matter? Is the wound on the finger hurting again? After all, the ten fingers connect to the heart, and the pain must be painful. I'll blow it off."

"Need not!"

Li Yuyan withdrew the hand held by Lin Xiao.

His eyes dodged a little, and his tone was very low:
"The pain in your body is nothing compared to the pain in your heart!"

Lin Xiao was a little dazed, she didn't know why Li Yuyan said such words, could it be...

She glanced at Li Yuyan and Bai Zhancheng with a strange look, and suddenly had a feeling that they were having an affair?
Probably not!
She heard Li Yuyan say that she didn't like Bai Zhancheng that day!

That being the case, why is Li Yuyan heartbroken?

Could it be that he fell in love with Zhang Yue?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao felt a faint sourness in his heart.

She pretended to be calm and pulled Li Yuyan into the back room, and said to him:

"If you don't have enough money to repair the house, you can ask Mazi or Gao Jin to get it, and I will explain to them in advance."

"it is good."

Li Yuyan replied numbly, then sat on the edge of the bed and stared out the window dully.

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed, but he was afraid that he would think wildly, so he said again:

"Sister Xiaoyue and General Bai are both talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, no matter how unwilling you are, please remember one sentence, twisted melons are not sweet!"

"What do you mean?"

Li Yuyan raised his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, he didn't know what Lin Xiao meant when he suddenly said these words to him.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said word by word:
"I don't care whether you like General Bai or Sister Xiaoyue, in short, put away your unrelenting feelings, neither of them are suitable for you!"

After speaking, she went straight out.

Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao's back with mixed feelings in his heart.

It's been a long time since I misunderstood myself to be so righteous!

……

Lin Xiao told the whole village about the repair of the house through the village chief, and everyone in the village rejoiced.

They gathered in the open space in front of the gate of the village chief's house, discussing how to renovate the house.

"I've never seen a house with a uniform style, but it's quite spectacular when you think about it."

"It's not like that. By then, I'll see who would dare to say that we are poor ghosts from the backcountry!"

"Yes, I've had enough of this kind of talk! Every time I go out, I'm scolded by people as 'poor ghosts' and 'poor ghosts' so I can't hold my head up!"

"Yeah, I explained to them that our Lin family village is not poor now, and people will believe it, saying that we live in earth-embryo houses, and when we go out, we just slap our faces swollen to pretend to be fat!"

……

The villagers poured out all the bitterness of these years in one word.

Listening to the voices of the villagers complaining, Lin Xiao was filled with emotion.

This is the way of the world, the weak prey on the strong, if you are not strong, you are doomed to be bullied.

Moreover, there is no so-called morality and fairness in this world.

No matter which era you are in, if you want to live more comfortably, you must be stronger than others.

Lin Xiao was deeply touched by this point, and that's why she tried every means to make money and strive for a well-off life!
"However, it takes a lot of money to repair the house, and many villagers have just solved their food and clothing problems, so they probably can't afford this money."

The wife of the village head, Ma Guihua, suddenly spoke.

Her words immediately caused everyone to nod their heads.

That's right, it's only been a few days since the good times. Where can I have the spare money to repair the house?
What's more, the busy farming season is coming soon, when the crops are almost ripe, who will be free to help build houses?
By then, wages will definitely be more expensive than usual!
"Why don't we wait to repair the house?"

"Yeah, I've been scolded for years anyway, and there's nothing wrong with it in the later days."

……

The villagers agreed that repairing the house would cost a lot of money, so everyone agreed to wait!
