Chapter 392 Suspicion of Zhang
The second wife took action immediately and started hiring people to start the work.
They originally wanted to borrow some bricks, stones, sand and other materials from the big house, but they didn't expect that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had already been on guard against them. The purchase of these things was all contracted to the foreman who was building the house, and the foreman was responsible for purchasing.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan will check the quality of the raw materials, and require the origin of each raw material to be clearly written on paper and signed for confirmation.
Naturally, the foreman also gets to earn a portion of the profits.
Most people in this era are still relatively down-to-earth. They will do things if they are paid. Moreover, technology is not that advanced, so it would be difficult to produce counterfeit goods even if one wanted to.
For example, the blue bricks you buy cannot be faked.
The wood used is real solid wood, no one can get synthetic wood.
By outsourcing this task to a foreman, everyone in the big house can save a lot of worry and effort. They just need to check it and don't have to worry about anything else.
Niu and Uncle Shao didn't know about this and tried to move the bricks. They even said confidently, "These are my eldest brother's things. As a brother, I borrow them first and return them to him later. They have nothing to do with you, an outsider! Just do your job. Why are you stopping me?"
As a result, the foreman gave them a scolding, explained the whole thing with a sullen face, and drove them away.
How is it irrelevant? This is equivalent to him buying all of them. If the Niu family took them away, wouldn’t he have to pay more to buy them back?
The two didn't expect the eldest wife to do this, and they became even angrier.
"This house was built with very little effort and time. How much money would it cost to hire people to do everything? If you lend it to us, we'll just say we don't have it. It's a waste!"
Zhang was the most angry.
After all, when she got married, the second wife didn't say anything about building a new house for her. But now that Silang's wife is about to marry into the family, they are building a new house for Silang.
We are both daughters-in-law, and I am no worse than anyone else. Why should I suffer such unfair treatment?
She didn't dare to complain in front of Mrs. Niu, but she felt so aggrieved that she cried twice in front of Shao Erlang.
Shao Erlang didn't think much of it at first and felt happy that he had built a new house. But after hearing her complaining and crying, he couldn't help but get annoyed and felt unhappy.
He couldn't help but suggest to Uncle Shao that they should build another room, as his son and daughter would grow up in a few years and they would have no place to live.
Uncle Shao and Mrs. Niu were just getting angry because they couldn't get any benefits from the first wife, so they were scolded by Shao Erlang's words.
It would be difficult to add one room, let alone two.
It’s something that will happen in a few years, let’s talk about it in a few years!
Niu was even more blunt and immediately suspected Zhang, believing that she was instigating the situation behind the scenes. She scolded her and made things difficult for her in various ways for several days.
Zhang was angry and resentful. She not only blamed Niu and Uncle Shao, but also took her anger out on the first wife.
If the eldest wife wasn't so petty, this wouldn't have happened!
The second wife was having a great time, but the first wife had no idea.
Shao Yunduan moved to a new house and still spent most of his time writing articles and memorizing books. Qiao Xuan had nothing to do, so she took a two-day break and went for a run in the mountains.
Sometimes Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni accompanied him, and sometimes they didn't go.
Qiao Xuan and her friends didn't always go to the deep mountains and forests. There were many mushrooms in ordinary forests, and occasionally you could see figs. Others couldn't find them, but it didn't matter to her.
There are many wild fruits in the mountains, and they are ripe now. They taste sour and sweet and are delicious.
There are many fun things to do in the mountains.
