"Shut up! They are asking me to do something for them. They are giving me face.

Once the salary is announced, many people will rush to take the job. Do you still need my help to find someone? You really don't know anything."

Wang Youzhi was furious and shouted angrily.

Seeing that Wang Youzhi was angry, Liu Meihua dared not say a word.

Zhao Xiaolan, who was outside the house, heard her father-in-law talking about her mother-in-law again, and hurriedly hid in her own room.

This mother-in-law is the same. She keeps talking all day long and has offended many people. If she didn't consider the village chief, the women in the village would have torn her mouth apart long ago.

On the other side, Lin An and his wife were unaware of the quarrel in the village chief's family. They were busy building their new home.

The next day, the craftsmen pulled a lot of materials over on mule carts. When the auspicious time arrived, Lin An lit a string of firecrackers and officially started work.

The craftsmen were working busily. The woman who cooked had arrived early. Perhaps because they had just come into contact with the Lin family, the three of them seemed a little restrained.

The three women were carefully selected by the village chief. The one with a straightforward personality was Wang Doufu's wife Liu Cuiping, and the styles of the dishes were discussed by her and Li.

The other two women were more shy, but very skillful.

The craftsmen were very satisfied with the lunch.

Although the food on the first day of groundbreaking when building a house for others was better in the past, it was not like the Lin family's with dry rice, big pieces of meat, and a pot of bone soup.

Seeing that their master valued them so much, they worked even harder in the afternoon.

"Dad, Mom, let's go to the county town this afternoon to look for a house. Let the eldest and second brothers just stay here to look after it."

Lin Shuyuan and his brother guessed that their sister might be bored, so they patted their chests and promised that they would take good care of her and let their parents and sister go to the county town.

Afterwards, Lin An caught a carriage and took his daughter and wife to the county town.

Half an hour later, they drove the carriage to a brokerage shop on West Street.

"Do you have any good houses or shops to sell?" Lin An asked directly.

The broker who received them was a young man.

"Sir, do you have any requirements for houses and shops? I do have several houses for sale."

"The house should be bigger, and most importantly, we should be able to move in as soon as possible. As for the shop, it's best if it faces the street." Lin An informed them in detail of the requirements they had discussed on the road.

The thief lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I have three larger houses. I'll take you to have a look."

The broker got on Lin An's carriage, took the reins from him, and drove the carriage to the house they wanted to see.

The first house was a large house with three courtyards. The previous owner had just moved out, and the furniture and beams and pillars inside were in good condition. We only needed to buy some daily necessities to move in.

However, the house was in the middle of the alley, and they didn't like it very much. They wanted to price it at one hundred and eighty taels.

They rejected the second house before they even saw it because it was too shabby.

The last house was once the house of a landlord.

The house is very big. There is a row of back houses on the left side of the gate. Walking to the left through the screen wall comes to the front yard. In addition to the reception hall, there are two rooms on each side of the front yard.

After passing through the hanging flower gate, you will arrive at the inner courtyard, which is divided into the main courtyard, the east wing courtyard and the west wing courtyard.

Each courtyard is equipped with a small kitchen, four side rooms and a toilet. In addition, there is a large kitchen in the inner courtyard.

Exiting the moon gate on the far right of the main courtyard are the stables and two utility rooms.

There is also a back door in the corner of the wall, which leads to an alley, and the carriage can come in directly from the back door.

Lin An and his wife, Lin Shuyue and the other two were very satisfied with the house. Not only was the layout good, but the windows of the entire house were made of glazed glass, which looked bright and comfortable.

In addition, the house is located on East Street, just two alleys away from the county government office. Some wealthy families in the county also live around it, so it is very quiet.

However, this house is much more expensive than the previous two, and the broker asked for three hundred taels of silver.

After looking at the house, the broker took them to see a few shops.

However, the locations of these shops are not very good. After Lin An and the other two discussed it, they decided to buy a house first and then purchase a shop when a suitable one is found.

After several rounds of negotiations with the broker, Lin An and his friends finally bought the house for two hundred and eighty taels.

Lin Shuyue took out the prepared banknotes and two taels of silver from her bosom and handed them to the broker. The broker was a little surprised. Why is it that the girl is in charge of the money in this family?

The broker collected the money and took Lin An to the government office to transfer the property, while Li and Lin Shuyue stayed in the house and started to pack up.

The reason why the price of the house is higher than others is that the furniture in the house is complete and made of high-quality wood.

They just need to clean it, buy some bedding and kitchen items and they can move in directly.

Li found a broom in the utility room and started sweeping the floor. Lin Shuyue found a piece of cloth, picked up a bucket of water and started scrubbing the doors, windows, tables and chairs.

When Lin An returned from the yamen, the mother and daughter had just finished cleaning a room.

Lin An handed the house deed to Lin Shuyue. Seeing how hard his daughter and wife were working, he suggested buying a maid.

Not only can they help with cleaning, but they can also look after the place when they return to Lanshan Village on weekdays.

Lin Shuyue took the deed and nodded after hearing her father's suggestion.

Then she opened the deed and took a look. When she saw the owner's name, she was stunned and looked at Lin An in confusion.

Lin An took the initiative to explain: "You gave us all the money in our family, and you also dug the ginseng we sold before.

Before I came here, your mother and I had already discussed that, except for the house and land in Lanshan Village, which will be in my name, any house or shop you buy in the future will be in your name."

"As for your two brothers, let them earn their own fortune. They are big men, and they can't rely on their sisters to support them."

Lin Shuyue felt warm in her heart. Although she didn't care about these things, she was still very happy that her father and mother thought so much about her.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin An and the other two came to the brokerage shop again, looking for the same broker from before.

When the broker heard that they wanted to buy a person, he was so happy that he served them tea and brought a group of people over, including men, women, young and old.

"Master Lin, these people have clean backgrounds, and they were sold out because of the fate of their original owners. You can choose with confidence."

Lin Shuyue looked at this group of well-trained, humble and pleasing people with mixed feelings, but she quickly adjusted her mood and looked at this group of people carefully.

"Come here for a moment."

Li pointed at the woman on the far right of the first row. When the woman heard it, she walked over quickly.

The old woman had a stout build, but neat hair and clean hands. When Li was about to ask the broker about the price, she suddenly gritted her teeth and knelt down with a thud.

"Sir, please buy my grandson and granddaughter together. My grandson can read and is strong, and my granddaughter is good at needlework. Please buy them together." The old woman's face was full of tears.

Li hesitated and turned to look at Lin An and Lin Shuyue.

"Call out your grandson and granddaughter." Lin Shuyue planned to take a look first.

At this time, a boy and a girl walked out of the crowd. The boy was about sixteen years old and the girl was about thirteen years old.
