Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 48 Who is in charge

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang, who came over to join in the fun, immediately said enthusiastically: "Village Chief, I have nothing to do, so I can help them clean up!"

The village chief glanced at her unhappily and snorted: "The village spends money to do things, so naturally we need to find people who can work quickly. I don't dare to ask for a lazy woman like you!"

Mrs. Zhang is notoriously lazy in the village, but she is also the one who likes to take advantage of others. Naturally, she likes to come out and play around at this time.

He Jiuniang glanced at her silently and remembered that this woman was notoriously lazy and liked to be clever and take advantage of her. There was no need to be friends in the future.

Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that the village chief would show off herself like this in front of the newcomers. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but the others were gloating about her misfortune. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't resist being ashamed. She lowered her head and looked dejected. Ran.

After that, no one said anything, and the village chief said: "I will make a decision about the candidates. I know how everyone behaves in the village. The selected people will be paid five cents each, and those who are not selected will wait until later." There will be opportunities if you perform well. Over the years, everyone knows that I am always fair in dealing with things. If you have any opinions, you can raise them now. If anyone dares to gossip behind his back, I will not deal with him! "

The village chief's face was very stern when he said this, and he managed the people in the village to be docile. It seems that the village chief has some skills, otherwise he would not be able to manage such a large village.

Everyone decided on the place they chose and paid half a year's rent to the village chief. Knowing that they were anxious to stay, the village chief immediately arranged for a few people who were usually honest and responsible to help clean and repair the place.

Then, the remaining group followed to see the homestead.

The first thing we looked at was a small five-cent piece of land. Each family decided to build a few adobe thatched houses to live in first, and then think of other options later when they had money.

This required a lot of thatch, and they were about to build a thatch shed at night. The village chief thought of what He Jiuniang had asked him to do before, and said to the villagers: "Anyone who has dry thatch can sell it to the Lu family." , they need a lot of thatch.”

Someone immediately asked: "How much can it sell for? We won't be willing to sell it for too low!"

The village chief looked at He Jiuniang subconsciously, and He Jiuniang said with a smile: "Just follow everyone's usual price, and we won't let everyone suffer."

With this sentence, the village chief said: "Well, the price of dry thatch is usually two cents per bundle, so sell it at this price. You can take whatever you have at home!"

Thatch is something that every household has. After all, the roof needs to be repaired at any time, or it needs to be used to start a fire, so every household has some leftovers. Now that I hear them saying they want to buy it, no one is watching and eating. Ma Liu They ran home to get thatch in exchange for money.

At first, everyone didn't welcome them, but seeing how much money they made to the village as soon as they arrived, everyone immediately stopped caring about that. This was the first time they saw new villagers who didn't fight over land. Such people It’s a rare encounter. If it had been anyone else, it might have been a disaster!
As a result, without the Lu family knowing it, their impression in the hearts of the people in Anping Village improved a lot.

When they finally saw that Mr. Lu and his family had bought a two-acre homestead, everyone's eyes lit up. It turned out that they were really rich and they bought two acres of land casually.

Just when Old Man Lu was hesitating whether to build a thatched house with the others, He Jiuniang took Mrs. Sun and her two sisters-in-law to the side to talk: "Mom, in my opinion, since we are building a house, we should build the bricks in one step. Let’s get a house, anyway, now that we have money, we can build a few more houses. After all, there are many children in the family, and Leizi and the others will be able to get married in a few years, so it is necessary for each of them to have a room."

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Qin's eyes widened. They thought so too, but they didn't dare to express their opinions for fear that Mrs. Sun would get angry.

Sure enough, the next second Mrs. Sun was about to hit He Jiuniang's arm, but He Jiuniang was well prepared to avoid it. Before Sun could curse, she continued: "This is something I have thought about again and again. First of all, we have to do it in Anping We live in the village permanently. If we don’t want to be bullied by the indigenous villagers, our family must show off our wealth appropriately to let them know that our family is rich and not easy to bully. Secondly, it is indeed a problem of a few children. There are so many children in the family now. My sister-in-law is still young, and my younger sister’s family also lives with us. It’s crowded and lively, and I might give you and your father a bunch of big, fat grandchildren in two years. If you don’t build it now, you’ll definitely have to worry about it again in the future.

Finally, no matter what, two guest rooms should be reserved at home. If there are guests in the future, there will be rooms to stay in, right? "

Mrs. Sun listened to her carefully, and when she saw that she had told Lu Guilan and her family to live with them, she couldn't help but ask, "You don't mind if your married sister-in-law and her whole family live in her parents' house?"

Her original intention was to lend some money to Lu Guilan and the others, and buy a five-cent piece of land to build a house to live in. However, she wanted to ask everyone for their opinions on the matter of borrowing money at night. Unexpectedly, He Jiuniang spoke first.

"What's the point of minding this? My little sister is mother and father's biological daughter, and her husband's family is in trouble. Two young couples don't know anything yet. They need elders like mother to take care of them. Living with us is a good idea. The best, of course, is just what I mean. You have to ask the little sister if they are willing. If they are not willing, we can give them money to build a house ourselves."

He Jiuniang smiled nonchalantly. Lu Guilan's family was easy to get along with, so she naturally liked to interact with them.

Mrs. Sun then looked at the other two daughters-in-law and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yu and Qin hurriedly said: "What the third brother and sister said is what we think too!"

Seeing that they get along so harmoniously, Mrs. Sun is also happy. It all came out of her belly. Of course she also feels sorry for her only daughter. If she can live with her, she will naturally be happy.

So, Mrs. Sun nodded and took Lu Guilan and Zhang Yong's daughter-in-law Shen to the other side to ask them what they meant.

Mrs. Sun first told He Jiuniang's thoughts and asked them if they were willing. Both Lu Guilan and Mrs. Shen looked shocked.

"Did the sisters-in-law really say that?"

Lu Guilan couldn't help but speak, and Sun glared at her angrily: "Can your mother still lie to you?"

"Then you still have to ask dad, eldest brother and second brother for their opinions, right?"

Lu Guilan was very moved, but she still resisted asking.

"What do they dare to say?"

Mrs. Sun was very dissatisfied and glared at her again. Doesn't her daughter know that she is the one in charge?

The old man is her man, the boss and the second child are her sons, she still can't deal with it?
