The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 9: The Airtight House
Niu Meiyu usually likes others to flatter her and praise her for her beauty. She finally went out for a trip, so naturally she wore her new clothes. "Of course..." But she felt something was wrong as soon as she said it. She couldn't say that the clothes were expensive, otherwise why would her parents lend her food.
I quickly changed my words, "Of course it's not too expensive material."
Nier raised her head and pretended to look carefully. "I was sober for a while at Li Goudan's house before, and Goudan's mother was holding a handkerchief made of the same material as this one."
"She told me that this was the most fashionable material at the moment and that I couldn't afford it even if I sold myself. I wanted to touch it, and she slapped my hand."
We all know that before a person dies, there is a process of last lucidity, which looks no different from that of ordinary people.
Thinking of how Ni'er was beaten before her death, Niu Laosan's eyes reddened. He felt that he was incompetent and couldn't even afford to buy a piece of nice cloth for the mother and daughter.
This material doesn't look cheap; even a child who knows nothing can tell that.
But others figured it out. Li Goudan's family was famously wealthy, and his mother only had a small handkerchief, but Niu Meiyu made a set of clothes.
The old lady immediately snatched back the bag of grain and poured the grain back. "You are so capable of wearing such nice clothes and coming to your poor mother's house to beg for money. Go back. I have no grain to give you."
Niu Meiyu didn't expect it to turn out like this. She just glared at Niu Xiaoni with hatred and cursed in her heart, "Sure enough, nothing good will happen if you get involved with her."
He stomped his foot hard, turned around and walked out the door.
Ni'er had never seen that kind of material at Goudan's mother's house, but it looked expensive. Besides, no one would confront Goudan's mother, so as long as her goal was achieved, it would be enough.
One more day of food means one less day of hunger.
Niu Lao San couldn't bear to see his sister return empty-handed, "Mom~"
After all, they are his own flesh and blood, and even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Hearing the third daughter calling out like that, his heart softened a little. This is his most beloved youngest daughter. He quickly took the bag of food, weighed five pounds, and asked the third daughter to go out and chase Meiyu.
Meiyu sat in the ox cart, thinking that she would be scolded by her mother-in-law if she returned empty-handed, her husband would look down on her, her sisters-in-law would laugh at her, and she would be ignored when others spoke to her. Her mind was full of how she should deal with things when she returned home, and she almost cried when she thought of these things.
"Beautiful jade~Beautiful jade~"
When he heard someone calling his name, he looked up and saw it was his third brother. He hurriedly shouted at the coachman to stop.
"Third brother, why are you here?"
Niu Lao San finally caught up with them and put the food he brought with him into Meiyu's hands. He said breathlessly, "This is what your mother brought for you. After all, we are a family. Xiao Ni is still young, so don't take what she said to heart."
Niu Meiyu was naturally a little surprised when she saw her third brother handing her food. Although she had never liked this brother since she was a child and he was very dull and had bullied her along with the other two brothers, she was relieved of her urgent need by having him send her food.
But when I put the weight in my hand, I knew it was half as heavy as before. I forced an ugly smile and said, "Thank you, brother. I won't take it to heart."
Niu Laosan had completed his task, so he didn't dare to delay the coachman. He also felt relieved that Meiyu could go back early, so he let the ox cart continue to move forward.
Meiyu was still gritting her teeth in her heart, "Niu Xiaoni, right? I was tricked by a kid today and I didn't get back the food that should have belonged to me. I heard she was the reincarnation of a lucky star, bah~ she's still the unlucky one. Nothing good will happen if I get close to her. I have to stay away from her in the future."
When Xiao Ni saw her father sending food to others, she sighed in her heart. Her father still felt that they were one family, but this would speed up the process of dividing the family, so it didn't matter if she went hungry for a few meals.
The farce finally ended, and I lay on the kang to rest at night.
Nier heard a voice coming from her uncle's room, "Why don't you stop us and give the food to your rich sister? We won't have enough to eat."
The uncle could only patiently comfort her, "Mom is the most successful person in our family. She is not afraid of having no food to eat. Don't worry."
The eldest aunt snorted coldly, "There is a difference between having food to eat and having nothing to eat. People eat their fill every day, but what we drink every day is almost the same as water."
A voice came from the second uncle's room, "Our three children are growing up. Fortunately, his eldest uncle's daughter Honghua got married last year, otherwise this spring would be difficult to endure. Why didn't you stop your mother? Look at our children, they are all pale and thin..."
The second uncle didn't want to listen to the woman's nagging, so he interrupted her directly, "Stop talking, it's already happened, there's no regret medicine, go to sleep."
Niu Laosan officially put helping others build a house on the agenda, and he started making adobe bricks for them on the first day. Ni'er and Niu Li had nothing to do, so they just watched from the side, and they found it very novel.
Seeing that the two children were watching him work obediently and were somewhat curious, Niu Lao San explained, "You can use this to build a house and turn it into walls and floors. But there is an even better material, blue bricks. A house built with that material is really warm in winter and cool in summer. Ni'er, you..."
Just as he was about to blurt out that he should have seen Ni'er at Li Goudan's house, he stopped talking.
"Dad, can we live in such a nice house? We don't need those blue bricks, just this adobe house will do. Our family will live in a place that is not leaky, it should be warm."
Ni'er looked at her father with bright eyes, and Niu Li was also longing to hear his sister say this.
Seeing that I couldn’t even satisfy my two children’s wish to live in a house that wasn’t leaky, I just cursed myself for being useless and thought about how I could earn more money to provide my two children with better living conditions.
In fact, all the money that Niu Laosan had saved over the years was taken away by the old lady, who said it was for safekeeping, but in fact she was unwilling to take out a penny. The money was enough to build a smaller adobe house.
During the Chinese New Year, Niu Laosan wanted to buy some food for his two children. After haggling with the old lady for a long time, he finally got two copper coins back, saying that he should not spend too much money on the two children as it would develop bad habits, and besides, they could not eat much.
With the two cents, she only bought a small bag of candy. When she got back, she gave each person a piece of candy. Ni'er couldn't bear to finish it all at once, so she licked it and put it in a small box she picked up. She ate one piece of candy for several days.
Whenever he thought of this, Niu Laosan felt sad.
Nier tilted her head, her eyes flickering, "Dad, how many adobe bricks can you make in a day?"
Without stopping the work at hand, he continued, "I can make twenty to thirty bucks a day."
"Do these materials cost a lot of money, Dad?"
The materials used for adobe bricks are also divided into grades. Some soils are of good quality, and the adobe bricks made from them are hard and sturdy and not easy to crack. This kind of adobe bricks requires money to buy.
Some people want to save money, so they mix straw with yellow mud at the foot of the mountain. Although the quality is not as good as that of expensive materials, it is completely sufficient to keep out the wind and rain.
“The materials don’t cost a lot of money.”
