Chapter 90
"Hmph, it's all you! What kind of bastard are you, to meddle in my aunt's business!" Xiangcai turned and said angrily, "It's too much."

After all, Coriander turned around and walked out of the yard angrily.

"Hey, woman, where are you going?" Xuan Yue rushed out of the yard.

"Go back to that house of yours!" Without turning her head, Xiangcai said angrily, "I don't want to see you for a moment."

"I, my silver..." muttered weakly, seeing that the coriander had gone far away, she stared blankly at her going back.There was an inexplicable reluctance in my heart, as soon as the woman left, it seemed that my heart was empty, and I could hear the echo when I threw a stone.I don't know how I got here during the ten years of muddleheaded years I didn't meet her, and I don't know how boring my life would be without her in the future.

Leaning lazily and feebly against the white courtyard wall, the sunlight gradually weakened, and she lay on the wall like a cartilage cat.Staring at one direction for a long time, squinting his eyes until the figure of coriander disappeared.Maybe I came to this dynasty just to meet this woman.Some people only understand when they meet them.

Xuan Yue walked up and down the concrete steps in the yard, rubbing her thumb and forefinger on her chin, thinking in her heart that it would be difficult to do anything without money.I remembered the first time I met that woman, she was selling coconuts and lamb skewers, and the business was still booming.Since that woman is good at doing business, she shouldn't have a penny on her body. She must have saved money, but where is the money hidden?Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I still have to find it.

He turned his eyes and landed on Dabao who was enjoying himself playing in the water tank in the kitchen.

"Come, come. Boy, come here." Xuan Yue beckoned to Da Bao who was squatting on the side and playing in the water.

Dabao ran over, his body covered with glistening drops of water.

"Dabao, where is all your sister's money hidden?" Xuan Yue approached with a smile.

"Sister, why are you asking me?" Dabao tilted his head slightly, wondering.

"My sister forgot. You tell my sister, she will buy you candy."

"There..." Dabao ran into Chen's west room, pointing to the yellow wooden box where the clothes were stored.

"So cute!" A certain man smiled evilly, pulling his chubby cheeks hard.

"Well, it hurts... My sister is good or bad. Huh..." Dabao touched his painful face, crying and complaining to Mrs. Chen.

"Haha, the boy is so foolish." Xuan Yue was very happy, opened the yellow wooden box, a musty smell hit his nose, fanned it with his hands, saw that it was a box of old clothes, and frowned, "Where is there?" silver?That kid won't fool himself.

After being patient, I rummaged down one by one.Finally, when I turned to the bottom layer, my fingers touched a bag of hard things.A wicked smile curled up on the corner of his mouth and said, "Haha, it's you!"

I took it out and saw that it was a small bag wrapped in blue cloth. I opened it layer by layer. It was really money. There were pieces of silver and strings of scattered copper plates.A certain man counted it, and there were dozens of taels. Usually this amount of money would not have caught his eye, but now it is different, it is simply a huge sum of money!He couldn't help but smile, and put it directly into his arms.This woman is quite good at making money.This time, it's cheaper for me.Cough, I wonder if she will kill me if she finds out...

With the silver, Xuan Yue quickly hired people to build his own room.He is not good at making money, but spending money is what he is best at.What's more, the money is easy to come by, and it doesn't hurt to spend it.

Seeing the hired workers laying bricks one by one, building them quickly in full swing, sitting on one side, leisurely nibbling on melons, Xuan Yue, who was the supervisor, showed a satisfied smile on his face.Money is easy to do things ah.

The workers are also working hard, sweating profusely, and are full of energy.Originally, the old lady of the Hai family was a very shrewd master. When the big guys heard that the Hai family was building a house, they were reluctant to come, but seeing Xuan Yue smiled lightly, and took out dozens of pieces of silver. Without even looking at it, "Ding ding dong dong" was thrown on the wooden table casually.

Everyone stared at the large amount of money, their eyes gleaming like hungry wolves. The leader swallowed, slapped the table and said, "Come on! It's done!"

"How long will it take to fix it?" Xuan Yue asked eagerly.

"For a small brick house, five or six days at the fastest." The leader bowed his head and thought for a while before replying.

"Slow." Xuan Yue frowned and shook her head.He didn't want to wait that long.

"The little girl, how long do you want?"

"Three days." Xuan Yue slowly raised three fingers.

"That's impossible! It's too rushed." The man waved his hands in embarrassment.

"Twice the price! Twice the money to hire you, and there is only one request—quick!" Xuan Yue smiled slightly, pointing to a pile of scraps of silver on the table, "Those should be enough. Take the rest. separated."

The strong man glanced at the pile of broken silver, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, three days is three days, it's done!"

Only then did Xuan Yue nod with a satisfied smile, once again verifying her father's famous saying that money can make a ghost.

When Mrs. Chen and the old lady came back from the field, they saw a group of strong men busy laying bricks and walls on the open space next to the two thatched huts of their house from a distance.

"Hey, mother, look! Who is building a house on our vacant lot?" Mrs. Chen asked puzzledly, carrying a hoe.

"Oh hello, it's true! What kind of blind thing dares to occupy the old lady's territory, go, take a look." The old lady dropped the bamboo basket she was carrying, grabbed the hoe in Chen's hand, and fell to the ground. With broken steps, rushed over.

"Mother—don't be impulsive!" Mrs. Chen hurriedly picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, but she didn't have time to pick up the spilled vegetables, so she ran over.

The old lady rushed to the front, and saw that the workers were bare-armed and sweating profusely. They didn't even glance at her when they saw her coming, and they were busy with their own work, putting red bricks on the wall with mud A ten-foot-high fence has been built on the open space next to his home.

Her shrewd little eyes rolled around, and she saw Xuan Yue sitting on the only small bamboo chair in the whole family, and kept urging the workers: "Hurry up! Hurry up! It's going to be dark today."

Mrs. Chen also rushed over at this time, looked at all this, and asked in confusion: "Mother, what's going on? Who is building the house?"

"Hmph, what are you asking me for! Go ask that stinky girl you gave birth to!" The old lady pouted at Xuan Yue with a straight face.

"Girl, what are you doing?" Mrs. Chen looked at the half-built brick wall and asked sharply.

"You can't see with long eyes. Of course you are repairing a house! How about building a latrine?" Xuan Yue gave them a lazy look, thinking about last night and getting angry.Such an obvious question, but you still have to ask yourself!A village woman is a village woman, without knowledge.
