Chapter 210 Dalang, it’s time to take medicine (20)

Wei Qi's new house has already started construction. He chose a large piece of land in a secluded place at the end of the village. He plans to build his house according to the specifications of a country villa. Anyway, he has enough money.

He designed the house himself and it was divided into two floors. The first floor was the living room, kitchen and two guest rooms, each with its own bathroom. The second floor was his and Huo Shichu's bedroom, as well as his study and Huo Shichu's embroidery room.

In addition to the house, the yard is also very large. Wei Qi plans to dig a fish pond on the left side of the house so that he can fish in his spare time; on the right side is a vegetable field where he can grow some fruits and vegetables.

After it is completed, he can imagine the quiet and leisurely scene of the villa.

Wei Qi could afford it, so he hired many strong laborers in the village to do the work. Since they were paid more, they naturally worked harder. As a result, the speed of building the new house was visibly fast. When it was half built, everyone could already see the scale of the house.

Aunt Zhou praised Huo Shichu with a sigh, "Your new house is really big. It looks like there are four or five rooms on the first floor alone. You also said you would build a second floor. Are you going to reserve rooms for having children and marrying a daughter-in-law in the future? You are thinking long-term..."

Huo Shichu didn't expect that she would even think about having children and marrying a daughter-in-law. He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He quickly explained: "We didn't think so much. We just thought that a bigger house would be more comfortable to live in."

Aunt Zhou agreed, "That's true..." Then she looked Huo Shichu up and down and sighed, "You are a lucky woman. Look, after you came, Dalang's leg injury was healed, and he also learned hunting skills and earned a lot of money. He can build such a nice house."

How could Huo Shichu dare to take all the credit for himself? He quickly shook his head and denied it: "Aunt Zhou, you really think too much. What's the point of being a lucky wife or not? Dalang's leg was healed because he has a strong recovery ability and the doctor's medical skills are great. His hunting skills are something he already has. I have no credit for this."

"How come you don't have any credit for it? Without your careful care, Dalang's injury wouldn't have healed so quickly." Aunt Zhou argued, "You don't have to belittle yourself like that. We women can live better if we have a good reputation."

Aunt Zhou was teaching Huo Shichu the "way of being a wife" from the bottom of her heart and putting herself in his shoes. "As wives, we are supposed to take care of our husbands without complaint and be virtuous and capable, but this does not mean we should keep silent about our efforts! We have to speak out about how much we have done, so that men will know how hard it is for us. Otherwise, they will think we are freeloaders and naturally look down on us... Would you feel comfortable if your efforts were ignored? Of course you would feel uncomfortable! If you feel uncomfortable, you have to change..."

Aunt Zhou chattered on and on, as if she wanted to instill all the "ways of being a wife" into Huo Shichu's mind. Huo Shichu felt dizzy. Although she didn't quite agree with her point of view, she meant well, so Huo Shichu had to listen patiently.

Wei Qi's new house is under construction in full swing. These days people in the village have been talking about how big and beautiful his new house is. The Wei family members who live in the dilapidated house naturally also know that Wei Qi can build a new house.

"Where did Wei Dalang get the money to build a new house?" Wei Silang asked Old Man Wei with disgust, swallowing the coarse rice and wild vegetable paste that was choking his throat.

Old Man Wei did not answer Wei Silang. He felt complicated. His eldest son, who was kicked out of the house by him, did not become a useless person as he had imagined. Instead, he lived a prosperous life and even started to build a new house.

But they still had to live in the broken house, which was the opposite of Wei Dalang's situation.

It is said that feng shui changes with time, and that things change over time. Did their family and Wei Dalang prove these words? Old man Wei actually regretted driving Wei Dalang out, especially since his own brick and tile house was struck by lightning, but Wei Dalang could afford to build a new house now.

He always couldn't help but have an idea: If Wei Dalang had not been driven out by him, would he have a spacious and bright house to live in now?

But no matter how upset and regretful Old Man Wei was, he could only watch Wei Dalang's glory while he could not get any benefit at all.

"He only built the house because he had brute strength and hunted some wild animals to sell!" Wei Sanlang said disdainfully, "He spent all the money he earned with his life on building a house. How vain and stupid! I wonder how he will live in the future!"

"He can go hunting again in the future..." Wei San's wife couldn't help but speak. She really couldn't stand her husband's words. "Others can go hunting a few times and then continue to hunt. But what about you? You can't hunt even once! You are useless!"

"You call me a waste?! How good are you? Your snobbish and greedy parents, seeing that I'm temporarily down and out, are taking advantage of me. They are so cruel and vicious! I really regret marrying a useless woman like you..." Wei Sanlang was so angry that he and his wife started to curse each other.

Then the sounds of men and women quarreling, children crying and the old man scolding rang out in the broken house again, making it very lively.

Wei Qi didn't know that he had become the fuse of the Wei family's quarrel again. He was discussing with Huo Shichu what to plant in the yard after the new house was built.

"I want to grow some grapes! How pleasant it would be to sit under the grape racks in the summer evening, drink wine and enjoy the cool breeze!" Huo Shichu said excitedly, as if he could already feel the cool summer breeze blowing on his face.

Wei Qi agreed and said, "Then plant the grapes by the pond. You drink and I fish."

"Okay, okay." Huo Shichu nodded repeatedly, "After catching them, you can fry them into small dried fish to go with wine!"

"We can also set up a barbecue rack under the grape trellis, pick some eggplants, corns, and leeks grown in our yard, kill some chickens and ducks, and barbecue them together..." Wei Qi became more and more yearning and excited as he spoke, and he wished the house would be built right away.

Huo Shichu seemed to foresee the happy barbecue scene under the grape trellis in summer, eating and drinking, how comfortable it would be. She also wished that the grape trellis had been set up.

The two of them have a lot in common when it comes to their pursuit of enjoyment. They both pursue eating, drinking and having fun, and are not stingy in spending money on them. They really have similar interests.

If Wei Qi met a "wife" who was frugal, thought it was a waste to cook more meat, and thought it was a luxury to buy more clothes, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable, and it would naturally be impossible for them to get along well.

And he was lucky enough to meet Huo Shichu, who was more "carefree" and spent more freely than him. The two of them were like-minded and had become close friends in terms of food and drink.

Originally, Huo Shichu wanted to leave after Wei Qi recovered from his injury, but later on, Wei Qi got along very well with her, so the idea of ​​leaving was thrown into the corner and gathered dust. She felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong in living with Wei Qi like this.
