Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 50

"My son, my son."

The mason was still bewildered.

They were brought to this small town by someone just now, but the person disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, a son suddenly appeared and came up to inquire.

In the spirit of being here, the mason decided to have a talk with him.

"Hey." Gu Shao turned around, "How many people do you have in total, and how much per person per day?"

"There are a dozen of them in total, all of whom are veterans, and they can't be less than twenty coins a day..."

As soon as Qiao Lian leaned over, he saw Gu Shao seriously negotiating the price with someone.

"Father." Gu Que called his father.

Gu Shao immediately stopped talking, "Hey, Que'er, why did you come to town?"

Qiao Lian didn't speak again, but there was still suspicion in his eyes.

This man was a little strange just now, but as soon as she got close to him, he was back to the same as before - this must have changed too quickly.

Gu Shao's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly said, "Mother, look, this is the mason I found for my family, and he is the best in Xieyang County."

The tone is full of invitations.

Of course, there are also some points to divert the topic.

As expected, Qiao Lianlian's attention was attracted, and he stepped forward and asked the two men in turbans, "What's your price? And what's the price for blue bricks and red tiles?"

"Madam, we..."

The craftsmen said a few figures, the price is almost the same as that in the town, but they have worked longer and the work is more delicate.

After comparing them in his heart, Qiao repeatedly nodded in satisfaction.

"You guys go back with me and have a look. If we agree, we'll start working. But the ugly words are up front. The things that come out can't be too different from what we talked about, otherwise the money will be deducted." Qiao Lian said.

The two hooded men nodded, neither panic nor guilty.

This is the confidence of an old craftsman.

The family went back to Gujia Village in a donkey cart.

By coincidence, when I entered the village, I met the Gu family.

Ever since Gu Shao said something serious a few days ago, the Gu family has been honest for several days without showing their heads, and even passing by today, they did not take any action.

Considering the relationship between the two parties, Gu Shao didn't stop the bullock cart, but nodded and passed.

Qiao repeatedly shot him sideways.

Gu Shao touched his nose, somewhat guilty.

Soon after arriving at the old house, Qiao Lian invited two craftsmen to go in and roughly explained what he wanted.

For a farm house, the construction should not be too outstanding, it is not a good thing to be too eye-catching.

But Qiao Lianlian was unwilling to wrong herself to live in mud walls and grass tiles, so she came up with a plan, planning to build a house that looked ordinary and slightly better on the outside, but inside it was different and ingenious.

She was afraid that the two craftsmen would not understand, so she said it specially.

Unexpectedly, the craftsman smiled, "Don't worry, ma'am, there are a lot of people who don't want to reveal their wealth. We haven't repaired hundreds of houses like this, at least we can count them with two hands."

Only then did Qiao Lianlian put his heart back in his stomach.

It's just that the craftsmen looked around the yard and strolled around the corners. One of the slightly fatter craftsmen surnamed Li frowned and said, "Is this the only house for you?"

This is an old house, precarious in wind and rain, and it looks like an old house that has been lived in for decades.

Most people rarely live in this kind of house, especially young people like Qiao Lianlian and Gu Shao.

"That's the only place." Qiao repeatedly nodded for confirmation.

The craftsman surnamed Li sighed.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

He shook his head while walking, "I see your house, there is no side room, only an inner room, if you rebuild it, you will lose even a place to live."

Qiao Lianlian didn't think of this.

Her face turned serious.

Gu Shao blinked, took a step forward, pointed to an empty space in the courtyard of the old house, and said, "Is it possible to build a house here first, and then demolish the original inner room after a little while, and replace it slowly. After all, there is a place to live.”

"It's also possible, but the new house will inevitably be damp, but don't get sick." Master Li thought deeply.

Qiao repeatedly pursed his lips.

She herself was fearless, and Gu Shao didn't care, but those five children were either young or ill, and couldn't bear the damp and cold at all.

Could it be that before the old house is built, a new place has to be built for temporary living?
This will greatly increase the expenses, and Qiao feels distressed again and again.

But she also didn't want her child to live in a cold and humid place, which would increase the risk of illness.

The scene once reached a deadlock.

At this moment, Aunt Liu did not know when she appeared. She stood at the door and waved her hands, saying proudly, "Everyone come to live at my house!"

Joe turned around sharply.

Frankly speaking, Qiao Lianlian is a cold person, she doesn't care if Gu Shao wants to divorce her, and she doesn't care if the Gu family targets her.

In this world, except for a few children that she can care about, she doesn't care about the rest.

Even in the past, getting acquainted with Aunt Liu was just to make life less difficult and to take care of neighbors.

Until this moment, Qiao Lianlian looked at Aunt Liu's kindly smiling face, and his eyes suddenly became moist.

She seems to have found a feeling... similar to family affection.

The kind of people who will help you all the time, and will stand by you when you encounter difficulties, rely on.

"You all come to live at my house." Aunt Liu walked into the courtyard while speaking, "My house is not big, but it is more than enough to make room for Xiao Qiao and the children. Don't think it is troublesome to my wife, I just like Xiao Qiao. Joe, I am willing to make room for her."

"Aunt Liu..." Qiao Lian pursed her lips, her eyes turned red.

She is not a hypocritical person. Since Aunt Liu likes her so much, she reciprocates, "In the next few days, I will leave it to Auntie. I happened to find a pig, and then we will eat pork stew."

"It's a small matter. If you can build a house and prevent your children from living in this broken house with air leaks on all sides, Aunt Liu is happy for you." Aunt Liu waved her hand, "When will you build it, I will make room for you one day in advance."

Master Li counted the days, and said cautiously, "There is still one month before the Chinese New Year. By then, the temperature will be extremely low and the soil will be frozen and it will not be easy to dig. So we have to build it now, or build it after the spring of the new year."

Aunt Liu looked at Qiao Lianlian.

Qiao pondered for a moment, then resolutely said, "Then it will be covered in two days."

According to the memory of the original owner, there are often winds and snowstorms in Gujia Village during Chinese New Year, how can the broken house of the old house be able to withstand it, when the snow leaks from all sides, I don't know how to freeze the children.

Anyway, it has to be covered, why not sooner, and you can have a good year.

"Sure, you guys need to pay some deposit first, and I'll arrange for people to transport the materials." Master Li likes such cool people, "There will be about ten people, come early and leave late, and you will take care of a meal at noon, and the rest It all depends on us."

"The appetite of these dozen people is unusual. You'd better find someone to cook for you, otherwise you may not be able to cook alone." Another thinner master Zhang kindly reminded.

Qiao nodded again and again, took out the 20 taels of silver that he had prepared earlier from his pocket, and handed it over.

Her movements were so fast that Gu Shao froze in mid-air just as Gu Shao raised his hand to hand over the money.

Why is the presence of the majestic male protagonist... so weak.
