husband in another world

Chapter 20 Hiring someone to build a house

But even if Zhou Jing treats Shen Mo well, such a family may not have enough heart for money.

Zhong Langzhong said with the benevolence of a doctor: "Now your husband is weak, and he dare not give him a strong medicine, for fear that he will not be nourished. It is better to eat tonic first, and his constitution will be better, and he is taking medicine to recuperate."

He didn't take advantage of the fire, but gave the most reasonable suggestion at the moment. Zhou Jing admired this behavior.He thanked him politely, then pointed to Shen Lin and said: "He is also injured, let him see it too!"

Zhong Langzhong was shocked again, the peasants were able to stand up if they were sick, and what the man in the family couldn't bear was to pay for it. The husband and daughter-in-law were already married to the right man.But Zhou Jing was willing to spend this kind of money that was regarded as a "wrong money" by the villagers for his husband's younger brother. Zhou Jing's behavior...Zhong Langzhong sighed, as expected, he had never done anything, so it's better not to follow others' advice.It is said that Zhou Jing is an asshole, but now it seems that there are more "assholes" in the village.

Shen Lin's injury was not serious, and most of the sticks were blocked by Shen Mo, so Zhong Langzhong also prescribed some external medicine for Shen Lin, and told him to apply it on time and he would recover within a few days.

For such a little thing, it cost 580 Wen at the checkout, and Shen Lin was a little apprehensive watching Zhou Jing pay the bill.

After seeing Zhong Langzhong off, Zhou Jing hurried back.

"Shen Lin, you go out first, I will give your brother medicine!"

Shen Lin was puzzled and said, "What can I avoid when you give my brother medicine?"

Zhou Jing snorted coldly: "You don't have a husband, but your brother does. Now that he is my husband, naturally only I can see him!"

Shen Lin: "..."

Shen Lin walked out angrily, and Shen Mo said helplessly, "Why are you always teasing him?"

Zhou Jing had a serious face, but he couldn't be more serious: "I didn't tease him, I said it very seriously!"

Shen Mo: "..."

Although the wound on Shen Mo's body didn't touch the bones, it was very deep. When Zhou Jing applied the medicine to him, his hands couldn't stop shaking.He didn't know in what mood he finished administering the medicine to Shen Mo, his clenched teeth seemed to hurt more than Shen Mo.

"Little Mo, I am useless to protect you, but don't worry, I will never do it again. I swear, I will never let you hurt half a hair again! I will avenge this revenge!"

Shen Mo said: "Brother Jing, it's not worth it, it's not worth it to date you for my father, don't do stupid things, I was injured but my little brother also got away, from now on just avoid him and you'll be fine!"

Don't say that this is the dynasty of father and son, even if the parents who were really unkind in later generations would beat and kill as many as they could mention, at most they just broke the relationship cruelly and stopped communicating with each other from then on.

But Zhou Jing is different from Shen Mo, Father Shen is not Zhou Jing's real father after all, he only assumes the status of a father-in-law, Shen Mo can't pay this debt, but it doesn't mean he can't either.

Zhou Jing said coldly: "Little Mo, don't worry, although your husband was incapable of protecting you last time, it was just because the incident happened suddenly, it wasn't really incapable of protecting you. Just wait, I have a way to teach him a lesson. Absolutely don't get on yourself!"

The master craftsmen in the town who had agreed the day before didn't know what happened to Zhou's family, and they arrived as promised.

The Zhou family's small bed was not big enough for two people to sleep in. They could only set up a few small stools beside the bed, and they slept together in their clothes without caring about avoiding suspicion.Both Shen Lin and Shen Mo were injured, so it was impossible for them to sleep on the stool, they could only sleep with Zhou Jing, and they tossed and turned all night, making them very uncomfortable. In addition, they had something on their minds, so they finally got confused in the second half of the night. He just forgot about the fact that the craftsmen in the town came to build the house today. It was not until the grass door was knocked that Zhou Jing became flustered.

When Zhou Jing came out, it really was Carpenter Cao.

Zhou Jing apologized: "A big event happened at home yesterday, and I was exhausted. I forgot to come over, please forgive me."

Carpenter Cao also saw that Zhou Jing's complexion was indeed not good, and he was sure that something serious happened at home, so he asked, "Then why are you still working today?"

"Well, I can't ask a few craftsmen to come here for nothing. What's more, you have seen the situation in my house. This thatched cottage is neither sheltered from wind nor rain. When the summer comes, I'm afraid it won't be able to live in when the rain is heavy. .” Zhou Jing said, turning sideways to let people into the room.Shen Mo and Shen Lin greeted each other and said a few words, even if they met each other.

Only then did Carpenter Cao feel relieved. What he and Zhou Jing talked about at the beginning was not how much money would be paid for a day, but how much money would be paid after the entire house was built.So if you delay for one more day, the loss is theirs.

At the beginning, it was said that they would produce eight people, Zhou Jing would produce eight people, and the people Zhou Jing would produce were all relatives and friends here, and they would completely listen to their arrangements at that time.

Craftsman Cao can understand this point. Farmers usually build houses by their own people, and there are a few who are willing to hire people in the town.

It's just because what Zhou Jing wants to build is too strange. I'm afraid there is no professional craftsman for this thing, and the farmers can't figure it out by themselves.

Carpenter Cao looked around and asked, "Is the master's helper here yet?"

Zhou Jing replied: "Yesterday, there was a big incident at home and we didn't come here today. Let's do it first. Today I will only count the money for you, and it will not be included in the contract."

Carpenter Cao didn't expect that his employer would be so fair. Even if they work for a wealthy family, they often do work for nothing.

What Zhou Jing bought was the land under the thatched house he lives in now. If he wants to build a new house here with good lighting, he must knock down the original thatched house and rebuild a new one.In order not to have no place to live, several people ordered to choose a non-harmful place to rebuild a small thatched house for temporary living.

Zhou Jing doesn't know how to build a house, he just talks to the craftsman about his requirements, supervises the work, and helps out.After working for a while, he realized that none of the craftsmen were thieves and tricksters, so he went back to the house to see Shen Mo.

"Does your body still hurt? I'll give you some medicine later. What do you want to eat? Can you make a shredded pork porridge?" Zhou Jing sat by the bed, looked at Shen Mo's clothes, and asked softly .

Before Shen Mo could return, Shen Lin clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, okay!"

Zhou Jinggen seemed to be deaf, still only staring at Shen Mo, waiting for his answer, Shen Mo saw that the two of them were interesting, and laughed lightly.

"Okay, let's eat lean meat porridge!"

Zhou Jing nodded and agreed, and after driving Shen Lin out again seriously, he applied medicine to Shen Mo.

Zhou Jing gave Shen Mo shredded pork porridge cooked with polished rice, and a bowl of steamed chicken cake. The three of them ate it together, which was regarded as breakfast.

Zhou Jing's cooking skills are really good, and Shen Mo and Shen Lin's food is very respectable.Especially after hearing Zhong Langzhong's words, Zhou Jing specially picked a lot of shredded pork for Shen Mosheng's porridge, which made Shen Mo feel embarrassed, and his cheeks were bright red.

"By the way, little brother, you can go to the village and pick a few good people who can work and ask if they would like to help our family build a house."

Shen Lin asked strangely: "Didn't you invite people from the town, why did you invite people from the village?"

Zhou Jing explained: "Since we want to live in this village in the future, we have to find a way to integrate into it. This is an opportunity. At this time, every household is not busy with farming, and the men in the family are idle. They are willing to come out to earn some money. , we are helping them by using them, and they will also thank us, and this will be regarded as a relationship. In the future, if there are any big or small things in this relationship, anyone who can help will help."

"Oh, that's it!" Shen Lin was so absorbed in eating that Hululu just drank a bowl of porridge, and didn't know if he didn't listen to Zhou Jing's words.

On the contrary, Shen Mo looked at Zhou Jing with admiration.He knew that the house that Zhou Jing wanted to build couldn't be built by the villagers, so he had to hire it out.But for the two brothers to have a better life in the village, they came up with such a comprehensive method.

Shen Mo looked at Zhou Jing admiringly, feeling that he was too considerate in doing things.Any male is not proud to be looked at by his mate like this.

Zhou Jing looked like a male peacock with its tail open, with its head held high, complacent.It's a pity that the style was overdone, and a chopstick was actually inserted into the nostril.

"Haha..." Shen Linhao laughed loudly without saving face.

Zhou Jing felt that he couldn't get off the stage, so he gave Shen Lin a hard look, and the ferocious look in his eyes made Shen Lin swallow the rest of his laughter in fright.Glancing at the flushed Fu Lang, Zhou Jing pretended to clear his cough.

"Well... Xiaomo, you know the character of the people in the village best, you and I can see which one has good character and can work neatly. Love, and we will be friends in the future."

Shen Mo swallowed his face and said with a smile: "Okay, I have thought of a few companies, and the wages are calculated according to the [-] Wen a day that everyone gives on weekdays, how about it?"

"Okay, but let's be clear. When you come here, you will listen to the craftsmen in the town. Do what they say. If you can't do it well, don't blame me for being rude."

"Well, I will bring it." Shen Lin replied.

After eating, Zhou Jing wandered into the yard to see how the workers were doing, and Shen Lin went door to door as Zhou Jing said.Shen Mo didn't have to worry about anything at home, he was only responsible for resting.

With Zhou Jing's reputation in the village, Shen Mo was afraid that some people would not come to work, so he mentioned a few more houses, and specifically asked the order of the houses to ask, emphasizing that those who don't want to come don't force them.

Sure enough, there were a few families who were unwilling, Shen Lin did not persuade according to Shen Mo's intention, and continued to the next family.But he said that he didn't feel much about rejecting Zhou Jing's family at the time. Later, when Zhou's family got up, they almost regretted it when they were next to each other.

The most surprising thing was Wang Ren. He knew that Zhou Jing's family was short of manpower to build a house, so he agreed without saying anything, and asked Shen Lin about the remaining houses.

In this way, the Zhou family's house began to be built.Zhou Jing is not a stingy person, but he is not a big money either.Workers' meals include two meals, lunch and dinner.

The staple food is brown rice porridge and cornmeal steamed buns. Although they are not good, they are full.As for the dishes, although no meat is used for stir-frying, they are all made with lard from fatty meat, so there must be plenty of oil and water.Not to mention that the people in the village were satisfied with the food, even the few workers in the town said that the food was nothing more than what they got from working in a big family.

Zhou Jing is tactful in dealing with things, and his wages are generous, all paid on the same day.Within a few days, even the villagers who had some opinions on Zhou Jing had greatly improved their views on Zhou Jing after a few days of getting along.Some of them have even become brothers with Zhou Jing.

Gradually, when walking in the village, Fulang, Zhou Jing, Shen Mo, and Shen Lin, the man who worked in Zhou's house, would take the initiative to say hello.

At this time, the popularity was more or less, Zhou Jing felt that the time was ripe, and some accounts should be settled, and they couldn't be saved for the New Year.
