Chapter 44 You are not worthy

Qin Yue sighed, "You've been miserable these past few years, haven't you?"

Qin Rui nodded, "I'm sorry, sister. I never came to see you. Now that I'm in trouble, I think of you."

"I don't blame you, just don't be like them."

"I asked my parents to borrow food, but they refused and even scolded me, saying they would never have a daughter like me."

Qin Yue put the peeled eggs in her bowl, "Eat it, it will cool down in a while."

Qin Rui lowered her head and took a sip, then immediately picked up the bowl and drank heavily.

It seemed that he had been hungry for several days. After a while, six fried dough sticks, two eggs, and a large bowl of tofu were eaten.

Qin Yue only drank a bowl of tofu curd and an egg, and then stopped eating.

She glanced at Mr. Dong, and after a while, thirty pounds of stick noodles and twenty eggs were packed in a basket and brought over.

"Sister, you eat these first, there isn't much left at home."

Then he gave her a dime of silver, which was about five or six hundred coins.

"Thank you, sister. I know your family has also been in trouble due to the flood, and I shouldn't have come, but the whole family is hungry, and I really can't help it." She was about to cry again.

Qin's head grew bigger and he shouted quickly.

"Don't cry. Don't come to my house if you cry again. Really, what's the use of crying? I can tell you that the things are borrowed and have to be returned. If you dare to tell the old Qin family about this, I will tell you It’s not over.”

"Don't worry, sister, I won't tell you."

"Okay, it's a long way to your home, go back quickly, I won't leave you any longer because of the chaos here!"

Qin Rui stood up, put the basket behind her back, and put the silver horn into her arms. She didn't dare to look at her sister's face and whispered:
"Then I'll go first."

"Well, let's go. The whole family is hungry and waiting for you. Be careful on the road."

"Hey, hey"

Qin Yue was lukewarm to her and walked to the door, watching her go away before turning back.

Mrs. Dong had already cleared the table and poured her a bowl of warm water.

Qin Yue took out a pen and paper and continued to write and draw on the table.

Dong sat next to her, sewing clothes. This was the cloth Qin Yue gave her to make clothes for herself and Wan'er.

"Madam, is she your sister?"

"Well, we haven't contacted each other for several years, and it feels strange to meet again. She was nice to me when we were at her parents' house, and that's all."

"Despite your usual sarcastic remarks, you have a kind heart."

Wan'er smiled and sat down with Xiaotie in her arms, "Madam, Xiaotie has gained weight again. I can hardly hold him anymore."

"Are you tired of carrying Jing'er on your back and holding it? Put it in the tent."

"I'm not tired, I really like them,"

Just as he was talking, Zhuang Shi came back with a cart of stones. Qin Yue heard the sound and looked up.

The stones on the car are almost uniform in size and neat in shape. It seems that they were carefully selected.

"Qin Yue, can I bring back some rocks?"

"Okay, we'll use bricks for the fence around our house, and we'll also build a fence on the ground so that I don't have to worry about planting good things."

"Is there a wall built in the field?" Zhuang Shi asked in disbelief.

"Of course, you just pull the stones and leave the work of erecting the wall to the hired workers."

"How many stones will it take?"

"I don't worry about people in the village being like that. I would rather spend more money and have less trouble in the future."

Zhuang Shi thought about it, Qin Yue was independent and measured in doing things, so he didn't need to worry too much, he could just do his part.

After a sound, Team Leader Zheng arrived. This time it was different from yesterday, driving several screw trucks, all of which were filled with people and tools.

It suddenly caused a sensation in the whole village. After the Yang family, Shanshui Village became lively again.

Judging from the dealer's attitude, it is even more grand than when the Yang family built their house. The villagers did not forget to nag while they were working.Upon entering the site, Team Leader Zheng first arranged for workers to build sheds and set up pots and stoves.

And he sat at the table with the drawings in hand and explained it to Qin Yue.

"We have discussed the drawings. We can't do it if we are short of 1000 taels of silver. In addition, your drawings must be included in the wages, otherwise it is really not cost-effective."

She understood what he meant and just raised her eyebrows, "1000 taels is really a lot!"

"It's all in accordance with the requirements in your drawings and will never be fake. In addition, I will give you another well, no more. It's all laborious work, especially the clean room behind your house. Just do those two sets. The bluestone trough is very labor-intensive, as is the septic tank at the back. If it weren't for the sake of this drawing, I would still be losing money if I took over this job. It's fine if I make less money, but I can't lose money to the brothers below."

Qin Yue raised her head and glanced at Team Leader Zheng, "You have a good heart."

"That's natural. It's all because of the support of my brothers that I am what I am today. I can't owe it to anyone."

It must be because of this that Shopkeeper Xu became friends with him. Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin happily agreed.

"Plus fifty acres of walls, half bricks and half stones, I'll pay extra for these."

"Okay, Mrs. Qin is really happy,"

"Let's bring in the bricks tomorrow. When the bricks arrive, I'll pay a deposit of 300 taels first. When the house is halfway built, I'll pay another [-]. It's all completed. After verification, it will be settled on the spot. I'll let Shitou show you the wall. Look, you can go back and do the math and give me a price?"

"No problem, how about we sign a document?"

"it is good!"

After the two parties signed the documents, Team Leader Zheng left in a hurry. The village chief heard that he had come to the banker later, so he found Qin Yue.

"Is your family going to build a new house?"

"Where can't you cover it? Before the beginning of autumn, seize the time to cover it so that you can live in it before winter comes."

Qin Yue was a little confused, it was obvious.

"It seems to me that this stall is bigger than the stalls run by the Yang family?"

"His house? Humph!" Qin Yue looked disdainful.

The village chief understood after seeing Qin's expression, "Hey, does that mean it's better than his family?"

"Don't you also want to build a house for your family?"

"Hmph, it's not like the Yang family is in trouble anyway. I can't stand Zhou's arrogance."

"Need help hum!"

"No, no, your family is old and sick. It's okay if you don't let my family help. If I can't cause any trouble to you, I'll take care of it too. It will save you trouble."

"Hum when it's time to warm up the house?"

"To each other, to each other!"

The village chief left, and not far from the banker's house, an old woman stared with fire in her eyes and her chest bulged.

Who is so mean-mouthed that he would blow the wind in Mr. Zhou's ears and say that the banker also wants to build a house of bricks and tiles?

Yang Zhou was very angry. Why should the banker build a brick house?What qualifications does his family have to live in such a house?
He has occupied her daughter-in-law and the property that should belong to her, and now he is using her money to build a new house. This is so unfair!
Although Zhou was angry, she didn't dare to go there and could only act in a hurry.

Just when Mrs. Zhou was jealous of the banker, Mr. Qiao walked up to her and whispered in her ear.

"I often go to her house and see Shitou sleeping in a separate room with her. What do you think is going on?"

Mrs. Zhou looked back at Mrs. Qiao, "Sleep in separate rooms? Haven't they consummated their marriage yet?"

"That's right. My mother-in-law is very strict and won't say anything to me."

Mrs. Zhou suddenly grinned, "It seems Mrs. Qin still can't forget my Shaohua, otherwise how could she pretend to be husband and wife with that poor boy?"

Qiao quickly distanced herself, "I'm just guessing, you can't take it seriously."

Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I still don't know about your little thoughts? Isn't it just that you were rubbed by Mrs. Qin and you want to find someone to treat her? Who doesn't know who?"

Mrs. Qiao smiled awkwardly. She looked at the banker and saw the busy workers inside, gritting their teeth and looking ferocious.

Mrs. Qin, just wait for me. You used to be a cow and a horse in the Yang family, and if you continue to do so in the future, I, Mrs. Qiao, will never let you turn around.

Qin Yue felt something strange and looked around. When she saw Yang Zhou and Qiao, she smiled!
The scene in the novel has appeared. Are these two people joining forces to deal with him?
