Both He's father and son were taken aback.

Of course they are excited.

Uncle Wang, who was driving the ox cart the night before, told Zhao Chen that he would come to the east of the thatched cottage the next day to help build a wooden shed. After they arrived here yesterday morning, they didn't see Zhao Chen. Thinking of the rumors in the village, they also moved Crooked mind.

But these thoughts only appeared for a moment, and they were awakened by themselves.

Zhao Chen is the benefactor of their He family, how could they avenge their kindness?

That would be damned!

So the two of them didn't think about the things in the house anymore. Zhao Chen, Chen Fu and Li Wu had already leveled out a large piece of land. The father and son diligently began to move wood, planks, chop bamboo and cut thatch. , Build a shed.

Seeing that Zhao Chen didn't come back at night, He Shanbao was worried that the things in the house would be stolen, so He Shanbao even took the bedding rolls from home and made a bed under the eaves to help look after the house.

Seeing that they were silent for a while, Zhao Shiming thought they were tempted. He showed a sly smile and said, "Silver is a good thing. With money, your He family won't have to live in that crappy house anymore. With money, what do you want to do?" Just do anything, it’s not a problem for Duo to marry the most beautiful girl in the village, you let me in, how about sharing [-]% of the things I got?"

The He family father and son are very sober now, how could they be encouraged by him.

He Shanbao said with a straight face: "Zhao Shiming, do you think that Da Huzi and I are as ungrateful as you? If you don't leave, we will beat you!"

After speaking, he raised the stick in Yang's hand.

Zhao Shiming doesn't work at home, he stretches out his hands for food and opens his mouth for clothes, and hangs out with Widow Wang outside. His body is vain, so he can only bully his wife, brother and former fool Zhao at home.

He Dahu could easily beat him to a bruised face by himself, let alone a father and son partnership.

Seeing He Shanbao raised his stick, Zhao Shiming subconsciously took a few steps back, pointed at the two of them angrily and said, "Don't go too far, when my nephew comes back, maybe he will hold things in both hands and send them to me, when the time comes... ..." "Mountain" "And" "Three" "Xi".

"Don't think about it, it's impossible in this life, unless you dream."

Before he finished speaking, a calm and indifferent voice came.

Several people followed the sound, and the He family father and son were overjoyed, and immediately greeted:

"Brother Zhao!"

"Zhao Chen!"

Zhao Chen nodded to the two of them, turned to look at Zhao Shiming, and said coldly, "Second Uncle, do you want to go by yourself, or should we drive you away?"

"You..." Zhao Shiming went to Widow Wang's natal house with Widow Wang with the money saved at home a few days ago. It happened that the farming season was busy, and he was coaxed by Widow Wang to help there. He was busy for nearly a month. Only yesterday return.

Hearing Zhou's talk about Zhao Chen's changes during this period, he became malicious. He originally wanted to come here at night, but he was really tired during this period, so he took a rest all night and changed to come in the morning.

Zhao Shiming originally thought he was just a fool, so what if he is sober?It is impossible to become shrewd all of a sudden, the only reason he dared to take a knife against his mother and dog was because they were old and weak, women and children, and Zhao Chen would not dare to deal with him.

He didn't expect Zhao Chen to be so straightforward.

Zhao Shiming was stunned for a moment, then realized after a while, changed his face, and said with a bitter smile: "Chen'er, don't you remember how good your second uncle was to you?"

The corners of Zhao Chen's mouth twitched, and he looked at this showman coldly.

Speaking of which, Zhao Shiming is also very powerful. Zhao Shicai always had the image of a good brother and uncle when he was alive, so that Zhao Shicai could treat him well. As a result, as soon as Zhao Shicai died, he took over his family's house and property, and when he got the opportunity, he took over his brother's only intellectual problem. His son rushed to this remote thatched hut and beat and scolded Fool Zhao.

Just now he was domineering in front of the He family and his son, but now seeing that he is not easy to deal with, he immediately changed his face again.

Does this person think that he is not clear-headed yet, and he is as easy to deceive as fool Zhao?

"I don't remember, but I remember that my second uncle beat and kicked me, called me a fool, and wanted to kill me with a knife." Zhao Chen didn't want to talk to this person, so he said coldly, "I forgot about other things. But I remember clearly when you bullied me."

"I'm kind enough to let your family live now. If I find out that your hands and feet are not clean and offend me, don't blame me for burning down the house my father left behind."

Zhao Chen was very calm when he said this, so calm that it was almost cold.

Zhao Shiming shuddered subconsciously.

Still wanting to say something, Zhao Chen said to the He family father and son: "Uncle He, Dahu, drive him away."

The He family's father and son were a little hesitant, but now they wanted to repay their kindness, and they were doing things for Zhao Chen. Naturally, Zhao Chen did what he said, and soon raised his stick to beat Zhao Shiming.

Seeing that they were going to come for real, Zhao Shiming ran away quickly.

He stopped pretending, and said to Zhao Chen while running: "Fool Zhao, you don't respect your elders, don't blame me, the second uncle, for not loving your nephew!"

Zhao Chen didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.

Zhao Shiming felt uncomfortable when he saw him, cursed a few more harsh words, and left.

After he left, Zhao Chen sneered and cursed: "Counsel!"

"Brother Zhao, is this okay?" He Dahu asked.

Although he also felt that Zhao Chen was so relieved and refreshing about Zhao Shiming, but what if Zhao Shiming brought others to make trouble?

He Shanbao also looked worried.

Zhao Chen knew that these people were afraid of scoundrels, so he didn't say much, just nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll buy some dogs some other day, and anyone who comes to make trouble will let the dogs go."

He's father and son imagined that scene, and their scalps felt numb.

A dog is terrible at barking, how many dogs...

Zhao Chen took a look at the wooden shed that had already been built in just one day, and only had to surround it with thatch as a wall. He was a little surprised: "Where did you find these logs?"

"At home." He Dahu scratched his head and said, "Our family was planning to build a new house before, and the wood was ready, but my father was ill, so it was delayed. Now we don't have any money to build a house, so we just Bring it to Brother Zhao and use it first."

"That's it." Zhao Chen nodded, and said, "How much is this wood worth? I'll give it to you later, and I can't ask you to do the work so you can't let you also give the materials."

Originally, when he asked the two to work, he thought they would cut down trees, so that even if he worked for him during the construction period, he could just pay the wages.

Now the two of them moved the materials from home, which saved time, so naturally they had to pay for the materials.

"No, no, no!" The He family father and son quickly waved their hands and refused.

He Shanbao said: "Without you, my husband doesn't know how long we can survive. We haven't paid for the medical bills yet. These wooden planks will not be needed in our house for a while. You can use them if you need them." , no need to spend money, it is our heart."

Zhao Chen pondered for a moment, but finally did not refuse.

It's just some wood, and it doesn't have much money, so he can just make up for it from other places.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Finally, I can help.

This shed didn't need to be used for a long time. He planned to use it to put sweet potato vines for display. After the [-] acres of land were planted, he wouldn't need to use it anymore.

Now that the roof is done, there is no need to make any more walls.

Zhao Chen told the He family father and son, and seeing the two nodding, he asked, "Is there anyone in our village who knows how to build a house?"

He Dahu said: "Except for those idlers in the village, other men can build houses. People in these places like us don't have much money to ask others to help build houses. It's all the people in the village who help each other. Brother Zhao is going to build a new house? ?”

"Well, I bought [-] acres of wasteland at Baige Ridge to grow sweet potatoes and build a house there. Since all the men in the village know how to do it, please help to invite them here. Who has wood? For wood planks, mud bricks and tiles, please ask for me, and I will pay for them.”

Zhao Chen elaborated on the price given for each item, and continued, "The wood and boards must be suitable for beams and wooden doors, and the tiles and mud bricks must be in good condition. In addition, you can help and hire about [-] strong workers." People come over, not limited to men and women, to help weed and hoe the ground and grow sweet potatoes.”

"Whether it is building a house or farming, the money is calculated according to the area. If you do more, you will get more money, and if you do less, you will get less money. Each type of land is [-] yuan per mu. The house is also a division of labor. Everyone works together. It has its own part, laying foundations, leveling the ground, laying walls, installing beams, and installing tiles are different, and the specifics will be explained in detail at the time, but there are at least ten renminbi for a three-foot square.”

In the past, people in the village were paid by the day to build a house. How can there be such a thing?

Moreover, each part of the house is given money according to the difficulty, which is unheard of.

He's father and son were dumbfounded when they heard this, but they could also imagine that according to Zhao Chen's calculations, those people must be much more active in their work, not to mention being lazy, they still want to do more!

The two admired Zhao Chen for a moment.

However, the two were also a little puzzled.

He Dahu asked: "Brother Zhao, since you are not short of money, why don't you buy new things? Buying from other people's houses, each house has different things, and it will not look good to build a house when the time comes."

"I live in Shuilian Village not long ago." Zhao Chen said, not hiding from his father and son, "I bought a shop in the county, and there is a house behind the shop. After I finish some things, I will go to the county to do business. I will take care of it for you, and I will come back occasionally to take a look, so I don’t need to build a very good house.”

He has a way to make money, but he doesn't want to spend it where it shouldn't be used.

It would be nice to have a place to live in Shuilian Village, and it doesn't have to be too good.

What really needs to be built well is a house in space.

The He family father and son were stunned. They bought a shop in the county so quickly?

Zhao Chen saw that everything was explained clearly, so he didn't say any more, and asked the He family and his son to invite someone.

"Let everyone go directly to Baige Ridge tomorrow morning. If you have any questions, ask them later. Other requirements and benefits will also be discussed at that time."

Baige Ridge is what the villagers of Shuilian Village call the wasteland he bought and its surrounding areas.

The He family's father and son didn't know what to say anymore, so they had to be obedient and left the thatched cottage to invite someone.

After the two left, the thatched cottage fell silent.

When Zhao Chen returned to his room, he found that his things had been tampered with. Although he didn't know who it was, there were no things that those people wanted here, so it didn't matter.

Without staying too long, he flashed into the space.

Chen Jiu has already finished his breakfast, and now he is not reading, but practicing painting.

Although he now knows that he can draw, he is still not used to drawing on paper.

In order not to show his timidity when he meets Mrs. Sun, he can only practice more.
