Chapter 252: Building Houses Separately
If it is built this way, everyone will have their own space and will not disturb each other, and they can help each other if anything happens.
Village Chief Ye didn't say much after hearing this. After all, he had allocated the large piece of land at the foot of the mountain to the Yue family, so he wouldn't interfere with how they built their house.
After Village Chief Ye left, Yue Zhenhe immediately said, "Ali, it's not good to build these houses separately, right? I think we should build them together. At least they should be surrounded by a large yard, so that they look like one family."
"No, Second Uncle, let's build them separately. This will be better for everyone and allow each of us to have our own private space."
After hearing what Yue Fuli said, Yue Zhenhe was in no mood to persuade her any further. She didn't want to live with them, and they couldn't force her.
After confirming the location for building the house, Yue Fuli asked Village Chief Ye to find someone to mark the foundation.
As soon as the foundation was finished, the builders came over, bringing their tools and food.
Yue Fuli saw that they were planning to build a mud house directly. This kind of house has its advantages, that is, the walls are relatively thick, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Originally, she was planning to build a brick house, but she found that there were almost no brick houses in the entire village. Therefore, she didn't want to be the first to do so and didn't mention it.
Although they had someone to build the house, they still had to find someone to cook. Yue Fuli directly asked Aunt Miao for help and asked her to introduce two aunts who could cook to help cook while their family was building the house.
Aunt Miao had good skills, so she found a familiar aunt to help her. She paid 20 wen a day for the workers who were building the house. As for the workers, they received 60 wen a day with three meals included.
That is to say, they have to live here while the house is being built.
To this end, they not only built a temporary thatched house for themselves, but also built a thatched shed for Yue Fuli's family when they saw that they had nowhere to live.
It was late summer, so there was no need to worry about catching a cold sleeping outside. Besides, they had slept outdoors before during their exile, even without a straw hut to shelter them from the wind and rain.
Those people worked quite quickly and built two straw huts before dark that night.
Seeing the straw hut, Yue Fuli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to stay at someone else's house anymore, which was great.
After a busy day, everyone was tired and fell asleep quickly after dinner.
The next day, when they woke up, Steward Lin arrived with a carriage of supplies. He felt very distressed when he saw Yue Fuli and the others sleeping in a straw hut.
Yue Fuli finally managed to appease Steward Lin and had the supplies collected. At this time, Sanniang and Du Ruomei arrived.
Seeing Sanniang and Du Ruomei getting off the carriage together, Yue Fuli was a little surprised and asked, "How did you two get together?"
"We met on the road, so we came here together." Sanniang explained briefly, then glanced at the busy people nearby and asked with a smile, "Ali, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes, but I don't have a place to live here right now, and I'm worried you'll get hurt."
"Look at what you're saying. It's not like I haven't lived outside before." Sanniang rolled her eyes at Yue Fuli, then rolled up her sleeves and went to help with the cooking.
After Sanniang left, Du Ruomei took out the property deed and said to Yue Fuli, "Thank you for your trust. This is the house and shop I bought according to your request."
