After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Chapter 23: Cleaning up the house and clearing things

The next day, around noon, Xia Ran woke up, and the energy finally recovered.

I just realized that the reason why the funeral procession yesterday looked so grand was because people from the two neighboring villages came to the funeral after hearing about it.

Moreover, almost all of my relatives were here. Some families even had two or three people. No wonder...

Yesterday, after coming down from the grave and seeing off some relatives, the second son Jianmin personally took Yang Yaozu to the home of old man Yang in Yangjia Village. He warned him by the way: "Don't stretch your hands too far, my Chen family is still alive, don't be so ugly, have some shame!"

Judging from the way they ate in their previous lives, Xia Ran was worried that the old bastard and his family would give up this piece of fat meat so easily. In addition, the compensation yesterday was so large.

At present, 2880 yuan is enough to build two quite nice courtyards. In this era, in this place, people built mud houses instead of brick houses.

The soil blocks for building the house were all collected and dried by everyone every day. Some of the wood was cut from the mountains, but the rafters of uniform thickness had to be purchased with money.

Tiles need to be bought, bricks need to be bought, cement needs to be bought, glass needs to be bought, and carpenters need to be hired, all of which cost money.

The courtyard wall was built using pestles, one pestle at a time, using loess and wheat straw.

Labor here is free, and it is popular to exchange labor. This year you help my family build a house, and next year I help your family build a house. Mutual help is popular. Therefore, this money can definitely build two beautiful yards.

I guess Old Man Yang was almost vomiting to death these past two days!

It would be strange if Old Man Yang could endure it.

Moreover, in this life, his family's property and wealth are greater and more attractive. Although Yang Juan didn't know the exact amount, she knew that it was much more than 600.

Besides, when Wang Chenglong talked to her before, people who were close to her would have heard some of his words. Whatever happens, I have only one principle: if anyone asks me for money, I will kill him.

When Xia Ran fainted yesterday, Gui Niang was frightened. We asked a doctor to come and see her, and he said that there was nothing serious, it was just that she was too tired, too tense, and exhausted. She would be fine after a good sleep.

Gui Niang was relieved, and she took care of Xia Ran all night last night. She just returned home in the morning. As a farmer, there was a lot of work waiting for her at home, so she couldn't sit still or do nothing.

He came over halfway and saw that Xia Ran looked much better and was breathing evenly and slowly, so he went home to make lunch. "Cuckoo" was taken away by Gui Niang.

Xia Ran got up and made herself some food to fill her stomach. Then she started to clean the house. It wasn't that the house was not clean.

Instead, I thought about collecting the things that the original couple used, and burn them for them to use in the next few days. Since the people are gone, the things will not be kept. Otherwise, the other party will feel uncomfortable, and I will feel uncomfortable too.

The original body had accumulated a lot of old clothes and old "antiques" that he was reluctant to throw away. Xia Ran found all of them, except for those that he could use in the future.

She plans to burn the rest or give them away. She doesn't like to keep too many useless things at home. It's better to keep it clean and tidy.

Anyway, I am the only one left at home, so I can do whatever I want. As for Jianguo's clothes, I picked out two nice ones to see if the second child or the baby's grandfather would like them.

The rest was also prepared to be burned. He searched everywhere in the house and found the money that the original couple had hidden, a total of more than 467 yuan.

Xia Ran remembered that this was the only savings of the original body and his wife. In the previous life, she was taken to her mother's house by her original body, and the result, needless to say, ended up in the hands of her mother.

It seems that the money was used to pay for the extra birth fee for his nephew. Xia Ran didn't want to talk when she saw this. She found that it was actually very simple to control or destroy a girl.

As long as she is taught from a young age that her mother's family and her brothers come first, she will be able to destroy herself without having to do anything special.

I found myself a new kang mat, a new mattress and new sheets. I didn't have a new quilt at the moment, so I found a new blanket and used it for two days.

This blanket was a matchmaking gift from the original owner who helped to match the couple. The original owner never wanted to use it, so he put it aside. I'll buy myself a bed and a new, thinner blanket.

The quilts at that time were all made of solid cotton. The winter here is very cold, and in order to resist the cold, the quilts here are made thicker and heavier than one another.

For Xia Ran, who was used to various thin quilts in later generations, this quilt was like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe. Xia Ran said that she was not worthy of it.

Just as I finished cleaning up, Gui Niang and Uncle Jiu, the manager of this time, came together to give accounts.

Xia Ran flipped through the records, which were written clearly and in detail. When many relatives came, they brought paper, incense, steamed buns, etc. Very few of them gave money directly.

How much stuff was used, how much material money was spent, which parts had been paid for, and which parts were paid for by others. It was all written very clearly. The food I ate these days was all from my own home, including the meat and vegetables.

The remaining amount was pulled directly from Gui Niang's vegetable garden. Xia Ran paid the twenty-three yuan that others had advanced and gave it to the steward.

"Uncle Jiu, please help pass this money to those who advanced the money and say thank you on my behalf. I've been busy these past few days, so I hope you can forgive me if there are any shortcomings. The day after tomorrow, the night after tomorrow, I will treat those who helped me these days to a dinner as a thank you dinner. Please also tell these families to come directly when the time comes, so I won't have to invite them one by one."

"I've received the money for building the country, and I'll send the money to everyone later. As for the thank-you banquet you mentioned, there's no need to hold it. We're all family. Why spend that money? Besides, you should have a lot of things to do these days, so you should just take care of things first. There should be more trouble in the next courtyard."

"There's nothing to do. We should just live our lives the same way as before. Let them do what they want. Who cares? I'll burn some paper for Jianguo in the evening. There's nothing to do. I said I would treat everyone. How can I break my promise?"

The butler stared at Xia Ran for a while before saying, "Have you thought it through?"

"I've thought it through. I'll just stay with Jianguo and live a good life. As for not having children of my own, I had no objection when Jianguo was alive. What's the matter? Now that Jianguo has passed away, other people have objections? In my opinion, this is not my fault.

These people are all sick, with a disease called nosy pink eye. If you want to cure this disease, it is simple. Just give it one shot. If one shot doesn’t work, give it two shots. If two shots don’t work, give it three shots. When it’s cured, you can stop. ”

The butler was amused by what Xia Ran said. Isn't it a disease that makes you jealous? He really deserves a beating.

Seeing Jianguo, he is obviously more insightful and capable of handling things this time, which is a good thing. He is also much more generous than before, and I almost don't recognize him.

In the past, it was impossible to even have a bowl of cornmeal eggs from her house, let alone invite everyone to a banquet. Others would give it to themselves but not to others. But she would not even eat it herself.

It seems that Jianguo's death did stimulate him. Otherwise, it would be unreal for a famous stingy person to suddenly become so generous. He is more cheerful and has more ideas than before, which is a good thing.
