Chapter 105 The whole family takes care of all the money-making work
A group of people continued to follow the head of the village.
Su Hanchu signaled Jun Moye to take everyone there first.
He stopped and took out a bag of candy and put it in Aunt Zhou's hand.
"Auntie, take this candy back for the children. Thank you Auntie Zhou for speaking for us today. Our land is divided into two dilapidated houses in the south of the village. If Auntie Zhou doesn't mind, you can come visit us when you have time. I just want to ask you something."
Aunt Zhou looked at the candy in her hand and refused reluctantly.
"It's just a matter of talking too much. Why did you give me candy? This candy is obviously not ordinary candy. Keep it for your own children. The melon seeds and cakes you gave me yesterday were enough for my two little brats to try."
Su Hanchu stuffed the candy into her arms. This kind of candy was naturally not available in this era. She knew the candies of this era. Some of them were black. The candies in her space were the ones she had stockpiled. They looked shiny and delicious.
"Aunt, just take it. I feel friendly when I see you. We are young and just got here. I hope you can give me more advice in the future."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou put the candy away.
"Well, I won't be polite if you put it that way. So, you two can go and look at the land first. I have a lot of pickled vegetables and some beans at home. I'll get some and bring them to your house."
Su Hanchu was originally prepared to refuse, but interpersonal relationships are something that need to be exchanged frequently, so that the relationship will become closer and closer.
"Then I won't be polite to you, Auntie. I'll go look at the land first, and we'll talk later."
Aunt Zhou spoke hurriedly upon hearing this.
"Okay, okay, go ahead, or you won't be able to catch up with everyone else."
Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu hurriedly trotted forward to chase after him.
The village head brought the Jun family to a place where millet was obviously planted last year. The weeds in the field were short, and there were occasionally some raw millet stalks.
"This is three acres of dry land. Planting millet will yield a good harvest, but it will be a bargain for your Jun family."
Looking at the face of the village head, Su Hanchu said, "You know, this piece of land is probably really a good piece of land. Although it is only three acres, if we can find a way to take care of the other ten acres of wasteland, it will be enough for everyone to eat."
Even if it is not enough, I don't rely solely on farming to make a living. Once the people above are completely assured, I will have plenty of ways to make money. What's more, there are so many gold, silver and treasures in my space, even the food is enough for the Jun family to eat for several years.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Zhao. We will always remember how much you took care of us. We will try not to cause any trouble for you in the future."
Next, I went to see the wasteland in the south of the village. Although it was also barren, it was close to home. I could take care of it slowly. If I really can't, I would ask some people to help me.
After the head of the village left, everyone went home. When they got home, Su Han saw that everyone looked unhappy, so he smiled and comforted them.
"Okay, don't be unhappy. At least it's better than nothing, right? We just have to work harder to clean up the land first."
Chuntao is a quick-talker.
"Young Madam, I'm afraid this village head has no good intentions. If it weren't for Aunt Zhou today, I'm afraid we would have suffered a great loss."
Su Hanchu spoke upon hearing this.
"Well, we are outsiders after all, so it's normal for them to be a little bit repulsive. It will get better as we spend more time together. It's afternoon now, let's go cook dinner first. I'm afraid the children are hungry."
Upon hearing this, Chuntao went to pick up some firewood and prepared to start a fire, but everyone was in a bad mood.
Su Hanchu raised his voice and spoke.
"Don't be unhappy. We've been through a lot along the way. It's just that we were given some bad land. How can I let you starve when I'm here? Life must go on. Just smile."
After hearing this, everyone's depressed mood dissipated a little.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Young lady from the Jun family, are you at home?"
As soon as Su Hanchu heard it, she knew it was Aunt Zhou.
Thinking that he had many things to ask her, he hurried to open the door.
"Aunt Zhou, come in quickly."
But there were no benches at home, so Su Hanchu had to ask Aunt Zhou to sit on a wooden board.
"Aunt Zhou, we haven't had time to make furniture yet. We're sorry to have neglected you."
Aunt Zhou didn't seem disgusted at all. She smiled and gave Su Hanchu the pickled vegetables and green beans she brought.
"You kid, what are you talking about? Every family has its own difficulties."
Su Hanchu hurriedly reached out to take it.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhou. It just so happens that our family hasn't had time to buy much food yet."
He handed the things to Ping'er and told her to pour some boiling water.
Then he went into the house and took out some melon seeds for Aunt Zhou.
"Auntie, come and eat some melon seeds."
Aunt Zhou took the melon seeds and cracked them.
"Okay."
Su Hanchu sat next to her and spoke.
"Auntie, you happened to be here. I want to ask you something."
Aunt Zhou smiled and spoke when she heard this.
"Just tell me what you want to say. I'll tell you everything I know."
Su Hanchu took a look at the dilapidated house and spoke with a wry smile.
"Auntie, you've seen this house. It's really a bit far-fetched to have someone living here. I want to find someone to help me build it, but I'm not familiar with the people in the village. Who should I ask?"
Aunt Zhou was delighted when she heard this and quickly spoke with a smile.
"My child, you have finally found the right person for this matter. If you trust me, I will take care of it. My uncle is a carpenter. Many people in this village come to him when they need to build houses. When I go back, I will ask my wife to tell him to come and build a house for your family."
This was quite a coincidence. Su Hanchu spoke with a smile while eating melon seeds.
"Auntie, how much is the salary usually? We just arrived in the village and don't know what the salary is like."
Aunt Zhou looked at her and spoke after hearing this.
"Hey kid, I can't fool you. The wages in town are usually 22 wen. We are in the village because it is close to home, so it is usually 18 wen. But the bricklayers pay more, usually 35 wen. This is probably the same for several villages around here. You can ask around."
The salary is not high, Su Hanchu thought about it.
"Then I'll trouble you, Auntie. I have to go to town tomorrow to buy some things. How about this, if we can return in the afternoon, we can come to your house and ask Uncle Zhou to talk to us about building a house. By the way, Auntie, you can just call me Hanchu."
Aunt Zhou was delighted when she heard this. With a job, she could earn money, and her husband also worked with her uncle, so the family would have some income.
"Okay, I'll have my wife and uncle wait for you to come back and talk. What are you planning to buy in town tomorrow?"
Su Hanchu looked around the room.
"Aunt, you see, we don't even have a decent table or bench in our house. Tomorrow I plan to go to town and buy some. I'll come back and use them as a makeshift. After the house is built, I'll buy some other things to complete the house."
Aunt Zhou smiled and spoke when she heard this.
"Why do we have to go to town to buy tables and benches? My mother's family is a carpenter. Many people who build new houses and replace their tables and benches always go to my mother's family to have them custom-made."
This is such a coincidence. Aunt Zhou's family probably has taken care of all the jobs that can make money.
"Is it such a coincidence? Auntie, you are really the lucky star of our family."
Aunt Zhou smiled and stood up when she heard this.
"Let's go. I remember you have a carriage. It's not too late now. It's not the same thing for so many of you to not even have a table or benches.
My mother's home is in the next village. If we have a carriage, it will take an incense stick of time to get there. I can take you there now and even bring back some tables and chairs for dinner. But I'm afraid you'll have to have dinner a little late tonight."
