Chapter 230 Building a House in the Village

"Since ancient times, merchants have been the lowest class. Why should I marry someone lower than me? I won't marry you!"

Xu Liya looked disgusted: "A concubine's daughter married to a lowly merchant is the best. If you want to marry, let Xu Ning marry. I don't want it!"

Xu Tianru was also very troubled. Although the other party was a merchant, was he an ordinary merchant?

They could not earn that much wealth in several lifetimes.

Xu Tianru is indeed a cunning old man. He deeply understands that in the face of money, many things are insignificant.

Unfortunately, Xu Liya didn't understand this truth.

"The other party is seeking to marry the legitimate daughter, and Ning'er is only a concubine's daughter."

Xu Liya disagreed: "They are wishful thinking. Marrying a concubine's daughter is already a step up for them. How dare they dream of anything else?"

Seeing that this didn't make sense, Xu Tianru didn't plan to say anything more.

If there is really no other way, I will tie her up and put her into the bridal sedan even if I have to.

At this moment, neither Xu Tianru nor Xu Liya had considered another problem.

That's the age difference between the two.

Xu Liya is already in her twenties, while Qian Jinnian is only a teenager. They are not a match at all.

In Xin Garden.

"The Qian family wants to marry their daughter?"

"Is the head of the Qian family crazy? The Queen and Concubine Hui are at loggerheads, why would they ask to marry the legitimate daughter of our family?"

Madam Yu was puzzled, not knowing that Sheng Jing was just adding fuel to the fire.

People far away in Yujia Village don't have to face these troublesome problems.

The bumper potato harvest once again made the people of Yujia Village a fortune.

News about Yujia Village has slowly spread.

Many people from nearby villages also came here to find out whether it is real or not.

However, this further spread the reputation of Yujia Village.

In mid to late April, rice and corn seedling cultivation is completed and transplanting begins.

Looking at the green seedlings, everyone was filled with anticipation and happiness.

On the ridge of the field, Patriarch Wang had a joyful look on his face. Looking at the wheat that was about to be harvested, his whole body was full of energy.

"Thank God, this year is another bumper year!"

Now everyone in the village has reached a tacit understanding not to mention Youyou if possible.

Patriarch Wang looked at the Yu family and asked, "When are Brother Yu and the Third Brother's family going to start construction?"

At the beginning of this spring, many families in the village said they were preparing to build new houses.

Although I have been busy with farming and have no time, it will eventually be put on the agenda.

The old man from the main branch of the Yu family said cheerfully, "It was decided last night. We will start construction in the next two days."

Patriarch Wang continued to ask: "Then let me know when the time comes so that my family can go and help!"

When we repair houses in the village, you help me and I help you.

Except for the second branch of the Yu family, they were paid wages.

The old man in the first house smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not that troublesome. We have discussed it and rented out this house!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people listening nearby pricked up their ears and started talking at once.

"Contract it out? Are you looking for a craftsman?"

"Yes, Uncle Yu's family is planning to hire a craftsman. How much will it cost?"

"I think this is a good idea. Building a house is a big deal. We can't let go of the work in the fields, and we can't be short of manpower when building a house at home. We are not short of money now!"

Some people still feel sorry for the money and are reluctant to spend it.

"How much will that cost? We still have to save money to marry our child off!"

"That's right. If I have a headache or a fever, I really can't do without money."

No matter what others said, the eldest branch of the Yu family decided to find craftsmen to build a new house.

The old man also briefly said: "From these two times of selling potatoes, we have earned quite a bit of money. There are only five people in the family, and the work in the fields cannot be done without people. This is related to the money we can earn in the future!"

"I discussed with Datian and Dadi and decided to hire all the craftsmen. It wouldn't cost much. We definitely didn't have the money before, but we still have some now."

"We have money coming in every year, and we don't need to build houses every year. This deal is a good deal!"

"Besides, it's already the end of April or the beginning of May, and the rainy season is about to come. The old house leaks badly. If we build a new one before then, we don't have to worry about leaks, right?"

After hearing what he said, the other voices became quieter and they all began to think about the feasibility of this method.

Everyone is still hesitant about money, but leaking during the rainy season is a problem that almost every household has.

There are not many people in Patriarch Wang’s family. Although the old house is not small, there is really no room in the house that does not leak.

Not only does it leak, it's also extremely damp. When it rains, everything is wet.

Not to mention anything else, if my grandson Wang An wants to study, he needs a separate room to store paper, ink, brush and inkstone.

Thinking of this, Patriarch Wang made the decision almost instantly.

"Brother, you are right. That's the truth. Have you found a craftsman in your field? I'll go to your house later to take a look. If it works, my family will do the same!"

The old man replied: "I will go to the city to look for it today, and I will know when I return home in the evening. You can come over then."

Patriarch Wang slapped his thigh and said, "That's fine! Did Third Brother also decide this?"

The old man from the third room also nodded and said, "When the Daliang couple left before the New Year, they talked about the new house. I also plan to find someone to do it. After all, besides me, there are only two children in the family now."

Yu Liang and his wife earned a lot of money. Before leaving, they talked to old man Sanfang about the new house and left some money, meaning that he should hire craftsmen back.

After everyone returned home, the news that the first and third branches of the Yu family and the Wang clan leader's family had hired craftsmen to build new houses spread throughout the village in an instant.

When the second wife came back and told the family about this, she received unanimous approval from the family.

Liu said, "I don't know about other families, but the third house must have money from business. The third son is alone at home, and even if the family doesn't have much land, it's not enough for him to build a new house."

"Brother has a lot of land at home, and he is still thinking of opening more. This year's potatoes alone sold for hundreds of taels of silver. Building a new house definitely won't cost that much, so it's most convenient to find someone to come."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Youyou again and said, "I'll help check the Feng Shui of your great grandfather and third grandfather's house later."

Youyou nodded: "Yes, we will go!"

Taking advantage of the night, Yu Di and Yu Tian also returned home.

I was looking for a craftsman in the city who specialized in building houses.

The other party has manpower, and as long as the money is in place, even bricks, tiles, and wood will be included.

Hearing them say this, everyone felt relieved.

Patriarch Wang told everyone about his plan, and finally everyone agreed to outsource all the work.

At the beginning of May, a dozen families in the village led by the craftsmen signed deeds and paid deposits, and the construction of new houses in the village officially got on track.

Two days before the official start of construction, Youyou went to the first and third rooms to help with feng shui.

When other families in the village heard the news, they also took action.

I brought my things to the door and asked Youyou to go over and check the Feng Shui.

On the day when construction officially started, the leader of the craftsmen set off a string of firecrackers to signal the official start of construction.
