There are mountains, rivers, and wolf kings

Chapter 41 Dowry
Li Haitang led the two little ones, and collected some of the infrequently used items in the house, put them aside, and prepared to take them over when the new house was built.

I have no idea how much money it will cost to build a house. Also, my family only has a few hundred dollars now. I don’t know if my father can borrow money. If I can’t borrow money, what will I do then?Li Haitang is very depressed now. It is easy for others to earn money through time travel. Now, let alone money, she can barely fill her stomach. The same time travel, this is incomparable!
In a dazed effort, Li Yulin came back again.

"Father, have you laid out the foundation?" Li Haitang asked.

"Well, it's done. The land your grandma gave us happened to be near your Aunt Gu's house. No, I'll find Lizheng to draw the foundation there. There is no other house there, just her family. It happens to be in the future There is a helper. If it weren't for your Aunt Gu's help this time, our father and I would have been separated!" Li Yulin said in a buzzing voice, feeling a wave of fear in his heart.

That place is open and bright, and it is a good place, but is it really good because it is so close?Thinking that she and Gu Yongjia are engaged in marriage now, she felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that Li Haitang didn't answer, Li Yulin asked again: "Haitang doesn't like that place?"

Li Haitang hurriedly shook his head, "I like it very much. It's a big place, it's next to the river, and it's close to our field. How nice! Dad, didn't you ask Uncle Li Zheng to mark out more space?"

Li Yulin nodded, "Sure, your Li Zhengshu said, no one in the village in that place is willing to go and build a house anyway, so let us build it, but it's a big one, and we don't have the money!"

This money is a good thing, no matter what dynasty, without money, it will not work!
When the two were worrying about money, a blue figure entered the yard, Gu Yongjia.

"Uncle Li, my mother asked me to bring some silver here." Gu Yongjia handed over a bag and stepped forward. It was a cyan silk bag, bulging!Seems like a lot of silver...

Li Yulin rubbed his hands, but refused to answer: "No, no, you have helped us so much, how can we still use your money?"

"Uncle, you can take it. My mother said, my mother said that it should be given as a dowry in advance." Gu Yongjia blushed like an apple, and didn't dare to look at Li Haitang. Seeing that Li Yulin still didn't accept it, he just stuffed the money He turned around and walked away.No, to be precise, he turned around and ran away!

Two words echoed in Li Haitang's ears: betrothal gift... Then the little heart was beating disobediently and happily, but it was only nine years old, so it was the owner?Although this boy looks good in any way, but is this really good?

Li Yulin opened the bag with trembling hands, and the five white ingots inside made him gasp. These are all ten taels of silver, 50 taels, enough to build a big house!However, in the countryside here, five taels of silver for the dowry is a lot, and now 50 taels...

"Father, let's take this money as if we borrowed it from Aunt Gu first, and then pay back the money when our family gets better." Li Haitang hurriedly said seeing his father still staring at the money in a daze.

Li Yulin nodded: "Yes."

With money, everything will be easy to handle!

Li Yulin meant to build a house out of mud, while Li Haitang was gesturing to build a big tiled house made of blue bricks.

Li Yulin looked at her strangely: "Haitang, how do you know that there is a big brick house?"

In the entire Lijia Village, there is no house built with green bricks and big tiles, and the better ones are built with stones.On the other hand, the wealthy families in the town all live in green brick and large tiled houses, but Haitang has never left Lijia Village, so why is this all?
Li Haitang also said it out of excitement, she didn't know if there were such materials in this dynasty.But judging by Li Yulin's reaction, he knew there was.

"Didn't the third uncle say that he wanted to sell me to the Pan family? He said that the Pan family lived in a big brick house." Li Haitang said in a muffled voice.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Li Yulin thought he had touched her heart, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, just follow Haitang's advice and build a big house made of blue bricks."

Seeing that he agreed, Li Haitang became emotional again.

"Father, I will draw a picture for you, and you build a house according to the picture. There must be a main room, facing south, and then build a house on the east, west and south sides, that's it, that's it, the area enclosed in the middle is the yard. The gate In this way, there is a corridor that divides the south house into two. A courtyard wall is built outside the gate to create a large yard. There are chicken coops, cowsheds, and firewood sheds.”

The more Li Haitang talked, the more surprised Li Yulin was. Although what her daughter said was not exactly the same as the place where the wealthy families lived in the town, there were many similarities.what 's wrong?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Yulin did not express it. In his eyes, he was also looking forward to the appearance of the house that the girl said, but if this was the case, the 50 taels of silver would be in the air!However, there is nothing to worry about, the big deal is that this house has blue bricks and large tiles, and this courtyard wall, I have plenty of strength, Lijia Village is backed by mountains, so I can get some stones to build it stronger!

Li Yulin talked about his own views on building a house, and Li Haitang couldn't help nodding his head. His father was born and bred in ancient times, and he knew much better than a half-baked man like himself. Much better.

After all these are done, all that remains is to buy materials and lay the foundation to build the house.There are no serious bricklayers in the country, and almost every man can build a house, so there is no need to worry about manpower.Li Haitang discussed with Li Yulin, asking the big guys to help, calculate some wages every day, and take care of a meal at noon.It's the slack time for farming, and people are easy to find.

Things here are proceeding in an orderly manner, but things in my family are about to fall apart.The thing that Li Yushan did was that the people sent by the Pan family paid 20 taels of silver and left. Even so, Li Yushan was beaten by the Pan family's nursing home and wailed in the room all day long. The cursing, the cursing is naturally that Li Haitang took him as a source of wealth, made him suffer, and said harsh words, when he recovers, she will look good on her!
Mrs. Li Zhao even pointed at Sang and scolded Huai all day long. The extra twelve taels had taken away half of her family fortune. Her heart was bleeding, but it would be impossible if she didn’t give it. Watching your son being chopped off?Like Li Haitang's family, Dafang's family is busy planning a place to build a house!Mrs. Li probably also wanted to stay away from my family, so she deliberately found a place in Lizheng that was not in the same direction as my family.She was not angry at Li Zhaoshi's yelling at Sang and Huai every day, and pretended not to hear them.

In the evening, Zhao Xiaohua came, along with Zhao Xiaohua's grandma.

Li Yulin was not at home, and went door to door looking for someone to build a house.

The Zhao family aunt took Li Haitang's hand and said: "Good boy, it's hard for you. Finally, you have a good time today! Come on, take these and give them back to your father. The aunt's family doesn't have many, so let's take these first. Use it in an emergency!"

Aunt Zhao's handed over two guan coins, that is, two taels of silver.

"Grandma Zhao... Well, we can't take this money." Li Haitang shied away. It might take a year to save the two taels of silver. The life of the Zhao family is not easy, how can I take it?
