Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Chapter 371 Moving the Grave

Dong Sanhua's face turned pale. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile: "Maybe I was busy out there. I blame myself for not being careful and didn't see a stone on the ground."

 She said, preparing to pick up the bucket herself.

But Sister-in-law Liu saw that she was struggling to walk, so she simply waved her hand: "Okay, just stand still and I will pick it up for you."

“Thank you, sister-in-law.” Dong Sanhua was very grateful.

Sister-in-law Liu picked up two buckets and walked back quickly.

 She asked Dong Sanhua to wait at the door while she went to fill her bucket.

I saw Mrs. Liu entering her yard. She moved swiftly and quickly. She first fetched water and briefly cleaned the wooden barrels, and then filled two large barrels with clean water.

Uncle Liu came down from drying corn on the roof and saw Dong Sanhua standing at the door.

 Ask Sister-in-law Liu: "Why don't you invite someone in for a sip of tea?"

Sister-in-law Liu looked back with a stern look: "You are too busy, aren't you?"

 She filled the water and when she turned to face Dong Sanhua, she said with a smile: "Let's go, let's help you carry it back."

Dong Sanhua was a little embarrassed: "It's so troublesome for you. Thank you, sister-in-law."

 After entering Dong Sanhua's home, Sister-in-law Liu took a quick look around.

 I feel a little envious.

Dong Sanhua is a relative of Grandma Qin, and Shen Ningning takes good care of her.

 The neatly arranged wood in this yard was chopped by Uncle Deng for Dong Sanhua.

There is still some clear water in the two water tanks before. I heard that Shen Ningning got it for her from the mountain.

This is serious mountain spring water. Sister-in-law Liu thinks that her family drinks only water from the well.

 When he entered the house again, he found that the room was large and Dong Sanhua had kept it clean and spotless.

On the window sill, there is a porcelain vase with a round mouth and blue glaze embroidered with yellow pear flowers. In it is a handful of yellow wild flowers on the edge of the grass.

The color is bright and rich, which makes it look good at first glance. It contrasts clearly with the simple furnishings around it.

Sister-in-law Liu exclaimed, pointed at the vase and asked, "Is this a gift from Ningning? I wanted to ask her for a round flowerpot before, but she said she didn't have one!"

Dong Sanhua was making tea for her. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "My aunt gave this to me."

Sister-in-law Liu curled her lips secretly. Grandma Qin gave her something that belonged to Shen Ningning.

As a princess, the little guy deserves a lot of rewards from the emperor and the prince.

Sister-in-law Liu suppressed the imbalance in her heart, took the tea from Dong Sanhua, and got down to business.

“Sister Sanhua, it’s not an option for you to carry water all the time. What’s important is that you ask Brother Deng to open the well for you.”

Dong Sanhua smiled: "I told Brother Deng last time, but he must be a little busy recently, so he hasn't been free."

Sister-in-law Liu clicked her tongue: "Look, this is because he is ignorant. How can he make you thirsty? You have to talk to him later."

 The two looked at each other and smiled.

Sister-in-law Liu said: "I have two brothers at home who used to work as laborers at the dock, but now they have nothing to do."

"How about I call them to help you dig the well?"

Dong Sanhua’s eyes were dark: “Really? That’s going to trouble my sister-in-law!”

"We are all neighbors, so what kind words can we say?" Sister-in-law Liu waved her hands and smiled: "This is not a hard job. You only need to give them twenty taels each."

 Twenty taels per person?

Dong Sanhua’s smile froze.

 Two people are forty taels.

 Not long ago, she planted a batch of sweet potatoes through Shen Ningning's relationship, and the emperor rewarded her with three hundred taels.

 But she first used some of the money to redeem her own deed of betrayal.

With a little left over, she renovated the yard and planted a small vegetable garden.

Now I have less than fifty taels left in my body.

“Sister-in-law, is it so expensive? Can it be cheaper?” Dong Sanhua asked sheepishly.

Sister-in-law Liu immediately refused: "That's not possible, this is the cheapest price."

“If you go outside to find someone to work for you, each person will have to pay at least thirty taels. Now that the drought has just passed, people outside are trying to steal money.”

 “Fortunately, this is my brother, otherwise he wouldn’t have the price.”

Seeing Dong Sanhua's dilemma, Sister-in-law Liu said again: "Sister Sanhua, just agree, and you won't lose anything."

"Even if Brother Deng goes out to find someone for you, he will still have to spend the money." This sentence woke up Dong Sanhua.

No wonder Deng Jixiang has not made any move even though he promised her.

 Maybe it’s because we can’t find workers at the right price.

 In this case, why should she bother others?

So, Dong Sanhua gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, I will get you some money right now."

 “Okay.” Sister-in-law Liu smiled happily.

 Dong Sanhua sent her out the door, and Sister-in-law Liu agreed over and over again.

“Don’t worry, I will go to Guangyang County to find my two brothers soon, and ask them to come and start the construction for you in two days.”

 When she returned home happily, Uncle Liu was feeding the chickens.

I saw Sister-in-law Liu holding a pocketful of silver.

 “Where did the money come from?”

“Sister Sanhua gave it to me. I promise to find my two brothers to help her connect the well.”

With that said, Sister-in-law Liu entered the house and put all the money away.

When Uncle Liu heard this, his expression changed with shock. He immediately put down the basket and followed into the house.

"Why are you making the decision without permission? Didn't I tell you? Ji Xiang went to the capital to buy materials today. He and I can help Dong Sanhua open the well later. Why did you take money from her alone?"

Sister-in-law Liu pushed the drawer back hard.

She raised two sharp eyes: "I just don't agree with you working in vain!"

“Besides, why are you afraid of accepting this little money from her? You didn’t go to her house to see that the cabinet on the kang is made of mahogany!”

"Deng Jixiang fell in love with Dong Sanhua, so he ran around diligently. Why, you fell in love with her too?"

Anger appeared on Uncle Liu's dark face: "Don't talk nonsense, the bad guys are innocent! Please return the money quickly, I have promised good luck."

He reached out to grab the money, but Sister-in-law Liu refused to give it to him.

 At the end both of them got angry.

“How can you be like this? Dong Sanhua is a relative of Grandma Qin. How much Ning Ning and Grandma Qin have helped us, you have no idea?” Uncle Liu asked angrily.

Sister-in-law Liu frowned: "Ningning is Ningning, she is she."

“Besides, even if Ning Ning comes, she won’t take advantage of us and let us work for her for free. Why should she just be Dong Sanhua?”

 Two people were arguing.

　　Their son Liu Hu ran in with snot dripping from his nose.

“Father, mother, please stop arguing. Sister Xiaolang has come to our village with the village chief and many officials!”

Sister-in-law Liu was startled, and immediately said with joy: "They must have done good things for our village again. Let's go out and have a look."

Before going out, she locked the drawer.

at this time.

Shen Ningning had already led the old village chief and several officials from the Ministry of Works, walking on the village road of Xiangyun Village under the scorching sun.

The little guy is wearing a blue coat with gauze-like armholes, and his face looks round and white.

She pointed to the boundary of Xiangyun Village and introduced it as she walked.

“I heard from the village chief that our Xiangyun Village was sparsely populated many years ago. Later, many villagers from other places settled here in order to enter Beijing.”

"Because we all come from all over the world, we have different surnames. Some of our ancestors are buried in the fields, and some are buried in random plots of land on the mountains."

 The officials from the Ministry of Industry, dressed in brocade official robes, looked around and then nodded.

Shen Ningning's eyes were moist and dark: "So, I plan to move all the ancestral graves in Xiangyun Village to one place, and I have also selected a piece of land."

“My brother sent you here for me today just to see for me how to start the construction and implement it, and we will discuss a charter.”

 Sister-in-law Liu squeezed her way out of the crowd.

Hurryly asked: "Ning Ning, why didn't you discuss this matter of moving the tomb with us in advance?"

 “How much compensation will you give us?”

If you want to own a bottle of Wangyou water, drink it and you will be happy all the time!
