Taking advantage of the sunny weather today, everyone is busy repairing the roof.
Someone saw Chen Xian, Chen Qingshan, and Chen Gui leaving in an oxcart.
"Doesn't Da Zhu's father renovate the house? Is there even enough room for anyone to live in it? He even has two wives. Isn't he afraid of their nagging?"
Lazy Zhao Dayou is busy mixing mud.
Seeing Chen Xian leave.
"It's true, if we don't repair the house while the weather is good, will it still be able to stand up when it rains heavily again? People say I'm lazy, but I'm not lazy at all. I just like to lie down and rest."
"I really don't know what he's thinking. Wouldn't it be better to just keep all the money for himself?"
The crowd scoffed at Zhao Dayou's statement.
"Shh! Boss Zhao, this is the first time I've heard you say that you're being lazy. You're really something."
When the topic of Chen Xian came up, everyone became somewhat restrained.
Even silence.
I felt a little guilty.
Who doesn't have a child in their family or among their relatives who is about to start school?
You can't expect someone to pay your tuition and then you're making sarcastic remarks.
How can a person be so shameless?
Chunxiuniang was about to go to the village entrance to fetch water when she heard this and shouted angrily.
"Old Zhao, what nonsense are you spouting now? What other people do is none of your business. Why are you meddling in other people's affairs?"
“Exactly,” someone agreed.
Some even whispered, "Why don't I talk to Da Zhu's father and Uncle Gui when they come back and ask if Mr. Zhou can collect a small portion of the tuition first, and then give the rest to Da Zhu's father after his business has made some money?"
"That makes some sense."
"What, it seems everyone has a lot of confidence in Da Zhu's father's business."
"No, it's embarrassing to ask someone to pay for my child's tuition. When Da Zhu's workshop starts hiring, I'll be the first to sign up and try to pay them back as soon as possible."
The villager nodded, "That really resonated with me."
Tiger's mother also joined the battle.
He looked very proud.
"Of course, I live close to his family. Da Zhu's father usually gets up before dawn and the whole family sets up their stall. They earn their money through hard work, and they succeed at everything they do. His workshop will definitely be built."
After saying that.
Tiger's mother also felt a bit emotional.
Da Zhu's father is probably out of money. Whether it's building a workshop, paying tuition, or repairing the house, he needs money.
The dilapidated thatched hut of the Chen family brought her a touch of bitterness.
She said in a hoarse voice, "How about we go to the Chen family's house and renovate it?"
Chunxiuniang nodded.
“Good idea. We’re all from the same village, we should help each other out. Take me with you.”
Before long, more than ten men said they wanted to go together.
Of course, this was after they had finished their own chores at home.
Chen Gui walked and stopped frequently, eventually arriving at Stone Village.
From a distance, you can see the villagers of Stone Village busily working, hammering and banging away, like industrious ants.
They were using oxcarts and carts to haul bricks.
The man had a towel hanging around his neck, which he used to wipe away sweat from time to time.
Chen Gui asked around and found the village head.
Qin Li was busy directing the villagers to work.
He glanced at the three of them and asked calmly, "What is it?"
Chen Xian chuckled and handed over some sesame candy.
"Qin, village head, we want to buy some bricks from you to build a house."
Qin Lizheng: "How much do you want? One coin per piece. If you want more, I can give you a discount."
In his view, it might only cost a few hundred bricks.
Repairing ancestral halls and schools, etc.
He simply didn't have the energy to manage such a small business.
Chen Xian calmly said, "Take 20,000 yuan first, and we'll talk about it if it's not enough."
"How many?"
Qin Li was eating sesame candy, the aroma of sesame seeds and the soft, crisp, and sweet taste of the candy blending together in her mouth.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his expression languid. "So sweet."
Carefully catching the remaining sesame seeds with my hands, I stuck out my tongue, licked my palm, and swallowed them in large gulps.
Hearing Chen Xian suddenly utter a number almost made him choke.
"Cough cough..."
"Young man, are you joking?"
Chen Gui stepped forward and chuckled.
"Hello, Village Head Qin. I am the village head of Qingxia Village. I often hear about your village's tax revenue from the county magistrate. Your village's tax revenue ranks first among dozens of towns. Today, seeing the scene before me, I am deeply shocked."
Qin Li was giving him a once-over when he suddenly became interested.
"Qingxia Village? That's quite a distance."
Chen Qingshan said with a smile, "So, could you please, Village Chief Qin, deliver the bricks to Qingxia Village?"
Qin Lizheng pondered for a moment.
"Normally, our village doesn't offer home delivery, but you bought so much, so why did you have to?"
His eyes narrowed to slits.
Chen Qingshan chuckled and said, "My brother will be building a workshop later, which will require a lot of bricks. Is it okay to lower the price a bit?"
Qin Lizheng opened his mouth slightly, somewhat suspicious.
The bricks produced in the village were mainly needed by wealthy households, landowners, or prominent families.
Few farmers need large quantities of bricks to build houses.
One brick costs one coin.
These are hardly farmers.
He's clearly a landlord and a rich man.
He took a deep look at Chen Xian, imprinting the man's appearance into his mind.
"He's not a country bumpkin at all, he's clearly a god of wealth!"
