Chapter 181

After appeasing his wife, he said to Shen Qing in a serious tone: "Child, my uncle knows that both of your parents have died. Now that something like this happened again, he feels unhappy and cynical, but your aunt and I have always cared about you two. People, I have been asking people to pick you up and live with you before, but unfortunately you refused, so you can't blame us for not taking good care of you, alas!"

If you didn't know his true identity, it would be difficult to imagine that these words came from the mouth of an old silver stick.

Shen Qing was tired and too lazy to argue with them, "If my uncle insists on saying this, I can't do anything about it. It all depends on people. No matter how much you talk, it's not as good as doing more. From now on... please take care of me! Sister, let's go."

The group of people had almost left by now. Except for Feng Chengcheng who was watching the excitement on the side, the rest were all Shen family members. Shen Changfu was caught aside by Zhou Laidi. The two of them were muttering about something, and Shen Changfu's face flickered.

"Let's go, Chunju, help grandma, and let's go home." Fortunately, they still have a home.

Granny Shen opened her arms and shouted: "I packed the food and brought it with me. I didn't even take a few bites. I had to throw it away."

Shen Qing was discouraged, "Grandma... don't bring it. Our family is not allowed to eat leftovers from the banquet."

Grandma Shen said stubbornly: "If we don't want to eat it, can't I take it back and feed the chickens?"

Shen Qing surrendered, "Okay, take it back and feed the chickens."

Grandma became stubborn, but there was nothing she could do.

Feng Chengcheng quickly asked Fuzi to help pack it. There are no plastics these days, and the soup is watery. In fact, it is difficult to pack it unless you pour it all into a bucket and carry the bucket away together.

Granny Shen didn't care. She asked Fuzi for a bucket and poured the food on the table into the bucket in annoyance.

In fact, these are good things that can save lives in times of poverty or disaster.

It wasn't until they all left that Su Jing came out with Xing'er.

Looking at the empty corridor, I couldn't help but sigh. A good engagement party ended up in an unhappy state.

Xing'er asked: "Sir, sir, do you think the crime committed by the Huo family's husband is serious? Will he be beheaded? If he is beheaded, then Miss Shen Er will become a widow before she gets married. ? This reputation is just..."

Su Jing said slowly: "I'm not married yet, so what kind of widow do I want to be? But I remembered that Crescent Bay is a good place. Let's go there and settle down!"

"What? But, our family has neither an outhouse nor a farm in Crescent Bay. Apart from the Shen family, there is no other family there. Where did we go to live?"

Su Jing clapped the folding fan in her hand and thought for a moment, "This... is indeed a problem. Let's go find the local chief."

If you don’t have land, you can buy it. If you don’t have a house, you can build it. As long as the money is available, you can live in it whenever you want.

Without the knowledge of the Shen family, Su Jing bought a large piece of wasteland on the north side of the road that day, which was [-]% higher than the market price. How could he not sell it? some income.

The district chief took Xing'er to the county government office that day to apply for the land deed.

Here, the house manager took Bizhu, Hongxiang, Qiuyu and others to the agreed-upon inn in Qingquan Town.

You can imagine the expressions on everyone's faces when they heard that the master no longer lives in a private house in the town but is going to build a house in the deserted countryside.

Hongxiang couldn't help but complained, "Sir, the countryside is remote and desolate, and it's not convenient to live there. How about we go to the Meng family? Mr. Meng is related to you, and I think he will conceal your whereabouts for you."

Su Jing said lightly: "If you don't want to, just go back." Hongxiang panicked when she saw her master was displeased, so she knelt down and said, "That's not what I meant. I am the master's maid. Wherever the master goes, I will go there." where."

It was Bizhu who looked at him and said with a smile: "Since the young master has made up his mind, we have to act quickly. The house manager will take care of the building of the house, and the servants will prepare the bedding and supplies."

When the house manager heard that the house was built opposite the Shen family, there was no way he would object. "Master doesn't need to worry about these mundane things. Let's find more masons and order them to build the house within half a month. As for the furniture, we'll just start from now on." It can be shipped directly from the house in Maoer Hutong."

Su Jing slowly shook her head, "Ten days is the limit."

The room manager had a slightly troubled look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, ten days, ten days."

At most, the craftsmen were allowed to work in two shifts, working day and night. In this way, just 20 days would be enough to build a two-entry house with green tiles and black tiles.

Just do it. The house manager immediately ordered two well-known local craftsmen, both of whom had connections.

When they heard that it would take ten days to build a two-entry house, everyone shook their heads and said it was impossible.

But when the house manager slapped the money on the table, the two stopped talking.

It's just after the catastrophe, and there is a lot of labor. If we spend more money, they will risk their lives. Labor is not a problem. As for the materials, finding more horses and carts to pull them is not a problem, so let's do it!
Su Jing doesn't care about the progress of the project.

But Shen Qing was confused.

They had just come back from the town, and before they could calm down, Niu Bao came back sweating profusely and told her that there were two horses tied up on the road across the way. When he went over and saw, he saw that they were the guardsmen who came to measure the land, saying that they were on the opposite side of the road. The wasteland was bought and a house was to be built.

Shen Qing just drank a sip of water and immediately sprayed it.

Could it be that someone had the same idea as her and also took a fancy to the Feng Shui treasure of Crescent Bay?

Immediately, in the evening of that day, horse-drawn carriages, donkey-carts and ox-carts carrying bricks, tiles, wood and stones lined up for two miles.

Those who unloaded the goods, dug the foundations, and built temporary huts for people to live in. Even the cooks came carrying pots on their backs.

They asked, but the foreman couldn't explain the reason, and couldn't get any information.

The Shen family was like watching a play, sitting at the door of their house with their rice bowls in hand, watching the people coming and going.

Niu Bao squatted on the side, struggling to pick up the rice, "I have never seen anyone so anxious about building a house. Is it possible that there is gold buried under the ground?"

What I ate at night was multigrain rice, multigrain brown rice mixed with white rice, stewed until soft.

I steamed the home-pickled bacon and stir-fried the green vegetables. There were two dishes for the lunch banquet that had not yet been served, a braised pork elbow and a fish fillet in red soup. These two dishes were brought back in separate food boxes to save money. Cook again.

Huolin was in a bad mood, worried about his brother, but he didn't delay his meal. He stuffed a large piece of soft elbow into his mouth, and he felt instantly satisfied, "Shit, how can there be gold?"

Mr. Huo said: "It is impossible for us to have a gold mine here."

Granny Shen didn't want to meddle in that business. She asked Shen Qing, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy all the mountainous land around here? Let's act quickly. I looked to the east and west, and there were still a lot of wastelands. In fact, it stands to reason , since it is wasteland, it has no owner. If we open up wasteland, we have occupied it, so why should we spend money to buy it?"
