I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 385: Build a house for safety

Because there are no laws to restrain the refugees, their behavior is wanton, and the people are afraid of it, and the government will arrest them if they see it.

All the refugees arrested by the government were sent to serve in the army, digging mines, building rivers and roads, and they did the most difficult and tiring work.

 So, once they become refugees, these people will risk their lives and be extremely destructive. They can make a living every day.

"At that time, they will definitely take risks and do some risky things in order to meet their needs for food and clothing. A yard like ours is just a decoration for them. So, Mom thought about it and let's sit together after dinner. Let’s discuss and solve our family’s safety problem.”

As soon as Bai Yunxi said this, not only Mrs. Li was surprised, but even Mrs. Du stopped what she was doing and came over with a small bench.

She heard the word "refugee" mentioned by her grandfather who passed away. It is the kind of hungry and anxious people who will rush to grab food without fear of death.

 But she had only heard about it over the years, never seen it. Now that her mother-in-law mentioned the refugees again, she was scared just thinking about it.

“Mom, if the war ends in a few days, would it be too conspicuous if we built a house at this time?”

These days, the atmosphere in the village is very depressing, and the problem is all caused by selling grain. Everyone agreed that they had suffered a big loss and had been cheated by the grain merchants, and everyone stared at them.

　　Du Shi looked at her mother-in-law and said nothing, and explained with a stern expression,

“My wife means that if we build a house at this time, no one will be willing to help.”

The villagers build the houses, and the master takes care of the food. As long as there is a good relationship, someone will come over to help with the work. You come and go with me in this kind of thing, and no one can escape.

No one complained, but since the death of the father-in-law, their family has not gotten along with the people in the village. If no one lends a hand, and people laugh at it, their family's face will not be lost.

Bai Yunxi looked at the worry in Du Shi's eyes and waved her hand directly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t ask the villagers to help. If we decide to build a house this time, my mother is going to ask the town’s master painter to build a house for us.”

 The master of ink painting during this period was equivalent to the chief engineer of building a house.

He is also the leader of the team. As long as the ink master is hired well, the owner does not need to worry about the construction of the entire house.

The master ink master alone led his apprentice to complete the work, starting from the foundation, to material selection, rent structure, construction management and supervision, etc. A series of construction matters...including Feng Shui are all under the control of the master ink master.

Of course, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy.

Li’s eyes were shining as she listened to her mother-in-law’s plan.

“Mom, I agree with any decision you make, even if you don’t ask the villagers for help, it will save them from being picky and saying bad things about us.”

Ever since my mother refused the village’s request last time, the villagers couldn’t help but say something sour when they saw her.

 She said that her family had stored grain that was not sold, so she might have gotten the news a long time ago, and she was benefiting from it, staring at the jokes of the villagers.

Hearing Mrs. Li’s snorting tone, Mrs. Du couldn’t help but give her a look.

“Ever since the village found out that our family didn’t sell food, who hasn’t said a few sarcastic words to me? I’ve advised you to stay at home and not go out to get angry, but you didn’t listen. Aren’t you just making yourself angry?”

"I'm not angry. Even if I don't tell them, what can they do to me? They are worried about the price drop of food and are anxious to take action. What does it have to do with us? We are not urging them to sell the food. If they make money If you get the money, will you spend a penny on me?"
