Li Jinfeng was carried away by people sent by the Huang family, but the Li family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiufen, who was locked in the room and cried endlessly day and night, became silent now.

Old Mrs. Li held her waist tightly, closed the courtyard door, and then impatiently let her daughter out.

The rest of the family watched and did not stop him. Even Zhu, who usually loves to watch the excitement, now looked miserable and lacked energy.

It rained heavily a few days ago, and their family was busy harvesting rice from the fields. They almost didn't sleep a wink all night. The farming work finally came to an end, and Li Xiufen, who was locked in the room, kept crying all day and all night, making them unable to do anything. rest.

Now that Li Jinfeng was picked up by the Huang family, Li Xiufang could finally give up.

"Ah! No, it's not good——"

Just when everyone was about to go to rest, Mrs. Li's screams sounded from the house.

"Daughter, why can't you think about it? Why are you so troubled..."

Old Mrs. Li sat next to Li Xiufang, crying with snot and tears. Li Xiufen fell to the ground unconscious, next to a broken bowl, holding a piece of broken porcelain in her right hand, and her left wrist was stained with blood.

"Stop howling! Come find Doctor Zhou quickly!" When Mr. Li entered the room and saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly ordered his second son, Li Shoucai, to find Doctor Zhou quickly.

"Oh, why did it happen like this!" Mrs. Zhu was shocked when she entered the house and saw the blood all over the floor.

Mrs. Sun looked at the dazzling redness on Li Xiufen's body and pursed her lips twice, but said nothing.

She didn't expect that Li Xiufen would make such a big fuss and risk her own life...

"Xiufen, you must not let anything happen to you. Old lady, I only have you as my daughter..."

Mrs. Li's cries rang in her ears, and Mrs. Sun's original guilt suddenly disappeared.

She reached out and touched her belly, her eyes gradually becoming cold and hard.

Why should I pity her? I had a child before, but she was kicked out by this cruel mother and daughter.

……

The news that Li Xiufen committed suicide by cutting her wrists quickly spread throughout Yuhe Village and became a topic of discussion after dinner.

"Hey, this old Li family has done something wrong..."

Sister-in-law Zhao was burning the kiln outside the yard, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she talked about it with Jiang Wei.

"Has that person been rescued?" Liu Dagang, who was hammering bricks beside him, asked worriedly.

"I heard that Doctor Zhou came to see me and he is fine."

"That's good……"

Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding a copy of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classics A and B" and couldn't help but said: "The broken porcelain fragment cut my wrist, but it only spared the meridians, so it should be fine."

After all, Li Xiufen was only a sixteen-year-old girl. No matter how motivated she was, she would not dare to cut off her own pulse with cruel hands. At most, she would cut her skin and bleed some, which would look more terrifying.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, what book are you reading? Why is the book so thick?" Liu Dagang noticed that Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding a book bigger than her face, and glanced at her with interest.

"Uh... yes, it was given by Mr. Jiang. I don't know what the book is, so I just read it casually." Jiang Xiaoxiao replied casually.

The books her mother gave her are basically not available in this world, and they have never been seen in Yong'an County. It is better to blame them all on Jiang Yu. Anyway, the other party came from a big place like the capital, and there are some things that he has never seen before. Books are also excusable.

"Oh, that's it. That Young Master Jiang is so generous..." Liu Dagang looked at the book in Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand with envy. The cover of the book is gilt, bright and shiny, and it is worth a lot at first glance. Even if he didn't recognize the words on it, he could clearly see that on the page Jiang Xiaoxiao opened, the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body were clearly drawn in bright and bright colors.

He has really never seen such a book. It is not a book with black and white text sold in the study room, but a book with pictures and words. The people in the pictures are just like real people, and I don’t know what kind of paint they used to draw them...

"By the way, Dagang, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Jiang Weicha changed the topic, "My family is going to build a house tomorrow. Can you help me find some people to help?"

"Build a house?" Liu Dagang's eyes lit up, his attention was instantly diverted, and he quickly said: "Of course, Xiaoxiaoniang, how many manpower do you need?"

Jiang Wei thought for a while and said: "At least thirty, the more the better."

The house her family built is large, and if there are not many people, it will be too busy.

After saying that, she added: "Building a house can't be done carelessly. Dagang, please find more people who are hard-working and honest. I'll pay you thirty cash a day."

"Okay, I'll go find it for you this afternoon!" Liu Dagang patted his chest and agreed.

Thirty cents a day, which is more than a day's wages for carrying a large bag at the dock in the town. There are more people coming.

Jiang Wei then left it to him with confidence.

Liu Dagang is the most familiar with the people in the village. He basically knows which ones are honest and capable, and which ones are sneaky and sneaky. She can rest assured that this matter is left to him.

In addition, Jiang Wei invited Qiu Lianniang and asked her and Sister Zhao to come over to help cook for a few days and be responsible for the food of these workers.

On the second day, Master Zheng, a mason, led a convoy of vehicles into Yuhe Village.

Jiang Wei had been waiting at the entrance of the village early and led Master Zheng towards his home.

People in the village heard the commotion and came out to take a look.

"What happened to the Jiang family? Why is there a convoy going to her house again?"

"I saw Dagang recruiting people to work for the Jiang family in the village yesterday. I heard they were going to build a house."

"Building a house, oh, this is a big deal!"

"Look at that motorcade. It's all made of blue bricks. How much does it cost?"

"I saw Wang Yuan's wife building a big house in the town before, and it required almost as many blue bricks. The Jiang family wants to imitate the wealthy families in the town to build a big house with blue bricks and tiles!"

……

As everyone discussed, the motorcade gradually moved away.

But everyone was not satisfied with watching it, and they all chased after him to see what happened.

The workers Liu Dagang hired also arrived early, no more, no less, exactly thirty.

When Jiang Wei led the convoy, the more than thirty people were obviously shocked by the green bricks and tiles loaded on the convoy. How generous this was!

Master Zheng jumped off the carriage and followed Jiang Weiwei to an open space outside the courtyard, where he was choosing a place to build a house.

"The feng shui here is good, the environment is beautiful, and the terrain is high." Master Zheng followed Jiang Wei to look at the surrounding land for several miles and was very satisfied.

After choosing an address, the first step is to start laying the foundation.

There was a circle of people watching the fun outside the Jiang Family Courtyard. Someone recognized Master Zheng and said with surprise, "Isn't that the most famous mason in the county? I've heard that he once built houses for those noble families in the capital. , his technology is top-notch, he even built the palace where the emperor lived!"
