Lu Linshan looked at the two brothers-in-law of the He family lying on chairs under the eaves, one with his eyes closed and the other humming a little tune, feeling a little unwilling to do so.

July is the season of slack farming, and the two brothers-in-law have nothing to do most of the time, except for the regular weeding, fertilizing, and watering of the vegetables they grow.

Either lying around in a daze, bragging or drinking and playing cards, but in any case, not working.

The He family's house was built after Lu Linshan came home.

At that time, Lu Linshan put in a lot of effort.

He Fangmin cared about money very much and was reluctant to part with even a dime.

So I am not willing to invite neighbors to help build a house.

Because when neighbors come to build a house, they invite others to eat.

Others are here to do physical work, so you can't just send them away with some wild vegetables, some sweet potatoes, and some rice soup.

You don’t have to have meat, but you must at least have white rice or pasta.

These things cost money.

More than 10 years ago, the He family was very poor, and they would definitely not be willing to part with the money.

Therefore, the labor force that was supposed to be helped by neighbors basically fell on Lu Linshan's shoulders alone.

At that time, Lu Linshan worked day and night, and had to do farm work early in the morning. After doing farm work, he had to build a house under the scorching sun.

It not only requires labor but also money.

Lu Linshan and He Hui were completely frugal.

Apart from ensuring food for the children, all the money was spent on building houses.

Not to mention white rice every day, it is very good to eat some sweet potato rice soup.

But He Dayong and He Dazhi are lazy when they can.

It can be said that more than 70% of the house where the He family lives now is due to Lu Linshan.

Of course Lu Linshan was unhappy and unwilling.

I worked hard to help the He family build a house, and now I have to build a house myself. Why don't the two brothers-in-law of the He family help?

Lu Linshan did not go out, but turned to He Fangmin, who was also sitting in the corridor and said, "Dad, our family is going to build a house in two days. I would like to ask my two brothers to come over and help. They will take care of three meals a day."

When He Fangmin heard this, his heart trembled obviously.

He felt that Lu Linshan's family had no money.

Lu Linshan and He Hui are both farmers, and most of the money used to go to the He family. Lu Shanhe is not married yet, and he still has to collect a bride price. How much money can the family have?

He thought that if Lu Linshan wanted to build a house, he would have to wait until his family became richer in the next year.

Why are you building a house so quickly?

Is it possible that the Lu family has become rich?

He Fangmin felt uncomfortable in his heart. After all, in the past, Lu Linshan, to put it nicely, was the son-in-law of the He family, and to put it worst, he was the labor force of the He family.

Lu Linshan is almost over fifty, why are his wings stiff at this time?I really have to build my own house.

He Fangmin did not answer Lu Linshan's words, but kept pecking at the cigarette in his hand.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Lu Linshan's words were not meant for He Fangmin, but for He Dazhi and He Dayong.

Lu Linshan thought, as long as these two people have some conscience, considering the hard work he had done in helping the He family build a house in the past, they should come over to help more or less.

What's more, the two of them are Lu Shanhe's uncles.

But it was obvious that Lu Linshan overestimated the virtues of these two people.

The two of them would not help their sister and brother-in-law just because Lu Linshan helped the He family build a house in the past.

After seeing Lu Linshan leave, He Dazhi spoke at this time.

"Lu Linshan's family has money to build a house?"

He Dayong also felt that Lu Linshan's family was very poor. Lu Shanhe had not collected enough as a wedding gift, so how could he have money to build a house?

Li Haiyan, who was in the room, felt a little bit in her heart when she heard that Lu Linshan's family had really started building a house.

Jealousy and envy suddenly came to my heart.

She felt her heart tighten uncomfortably.

Lu Linshan and He Hui, whose lives have always been worse than their own, are actually planning to separate and build a house.

Li Haiyan muttered to Zhang Fen beside her: "How much money do you have to build a house in Nujiang? Just build two houses with bamboo and mud!"

Zhang Fen also muttered: "That's right, why should their family build a house!"

The more He Dayong thought about it, the angrier he became.

If the Lu Linshan family really built a house, then they would live in a new house.

Isn't that better than the conditions at home?

Jealousy made He Dayong unable to extricate himself.

He has always been the eldest son in the family, and his parents love him the most.

My own conditions are also the best.

Now Lu Linshan's conditions are better than mine?

He Dayong had no intention of taking a nap here. He quickly stood up and wanted to chat with his neighbors to see if Lu Linshan was asking for help in building a house.

In the commune brigade, Lu Linshan delivered noodles, eggs, rice, etc. door to door.

Although there are not many things, it is also my own intention.

Lu Linshan's popularity in the brigade is relatively good. After all, he is down-to-earth and very diligent.

As long as someone asks Lu Shanhe to help with work, Lu Shanhe will basically agree.

So this time something happened at Lu Linshan's family, and everyone was very willing to help.

What's more, Lu Linshan brought flour, eggs, etc. first.

What Lu Linshan didn't expect was that as soon as he left, He Dayong, Li Haiyan and others were chatting with others in the fields.

He Dayong also said intentionally or unintentionally: "Lu Linshan, my nephew has no future, his work is not practical, and he goes to the county town every day to play. His father is very angry and wants to build a house for him to get a wife."

"But the family doesn't have that much money. I heard that this time, their family prepared some sweet potatoes and wild vegetables."

"Building a house here is a laborious job. You can't eat more than a little sweet potato!"

Li Haiyan also added fuel to the fire and said to the aunt in the brigade: "I feel sorry for my sister-in-law. Her son has no future. It was hard to get married, but because there was no betrothal gift, the marriage was refunded to others."

"Now my family is borrowing money everywhere to build a house, and we owe a lot of debt."

"If you don't have the ability to build a house, don't build it. I'm still bothering the neighbors. As a sister-in-law, I'm really embarrassed!"

There are many women in rural areas who are talkative. In the words of later generations, they especially like to listen to gossip.

In this field, the more rumors spread, the more rumors spread.

Soon, not only the people in the second brigade, but also the people in the next few brigade knew that Lu Linshan's family had no money and borrowed money from everywhere just to build a house and marry Lu Shanhe.

If everyone goes to help with the work, their help must be in vain, and they won’t even stutter.

It's one thing for fellow villagers to help each other, but helping each other doesn't even take care of food. How can there be such a thing?

Is it really possible to help others by eating rice from home?

How could such a thing have happened since ancient times?

Several respected old men in the brigade also said that Lu Linshan had no future and had no money to build a house. It was unethical to ask everyone for help.

Some of them usually have a better relationship with Lu Linshan. Although they feel uncomfortable, they still want to help.

But most people choose not to go.

If a man goes to help and doesn't even have anything to eat, he is tired from working and still eats so much rice when he comes home, this is going to be scolded by his wife.

On the second day, the Lu family's homestead started construction. Lu Linshan and He Hui cooked a large pot of rice porridge and steamed a large pot of steamed buns early, waiting for the neighbors to come over to help.

But after waiting from 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock in the morning, everyone in Lu Linshan was dumbfounded.
