"Hey, yesterday someone took a fancy to the piece of land near the river in our village and bought it. He has already registered it with the government and the residential land has been approved.
We are going to start building the yard today. The yard is not small, it has three entrances!
It's definitely a yard for a wealthy family, and they asked for it to be completed within two months at most.
Well, you are an old hand at building houses. I plan to inform you first and then inform your two brothers.
I plan to let you do this. Our village has never encountered such a good thing, so naturally I thought of you brothers first.
Although you have never led anyone, you have helped people build houses for wealthy families, so you have some experience.
I don't want to let outsiders take advantage of such a good thing, so I naturally think of you."
When Yunchang heard this, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
However, when they heard that the job was given to the three brothers, the surprise on their faces disappeared immediately, and they became more unconfident instead.
"Well, it's no problem to do the work. The three of us brothers can do it.
That’s right, we have never done the job of supervisor, so we don’t know…”
"Well, if you haven't done it yet, just learn it. You have a younger brother who is a scholar, how stupid can your brains be?
If you don't dare to do it, then others will get it for nothing!
They were very generous and directly paid one hundred taels of silver as wages, without any other requirements. They said they would find the carpenter themselves. As you know, the courtyard of a wealthy family involves a lot of carving work, which you cannot do, right?
What they want from you is to quickly build the main structure of the house, as they want to move in before the end of the year.”
Yunchang had long been lost in the one hundred taels of silver!
The one hundred taels of silver were all wages. Even if seventy taels were given to the workers, and he and his two brothers divided it equally, he could earn ten taels in two months!
Ten taels, that is something they can hardly earn in several years, this is really an opportunity to make a fortune!
Now that my daughter is back, I can earn some money to build a new house for her so she can live there for the rest of her life, which is also a good thing.
Even if I don't build a house, I can buy my daughter two acres of land to support herself, so that she will have basic food security for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Yunchang no longer dared to hesitate, for fear that this great opportunity would fly away!
He never dreamed that there would be a day when he would suddenly make a fortune, so of course he had to do it, unless he was really stupid!
"Go, go, go, I'll go find my eldest and second brothers and discuss this with them."
The labor cost for a skilled worker is only 20 cents a day, and for an unskilled worker it is only 10 cents. It is very cheap. This is a business that is sure to make money. Even an honest man like Yunchang immediately realized the huge profits to be made.
"Okay, you brothers, make a decision quickly. If your brothers don't want to, do you think you can do it?
If you are willing, gather the people who are going to work today and make arrangements first. After all, there are only two months, which is neither long nor short.
By the way, you are not asked to pay for the food. The one hundred taels of silver are all labor costs.
Meals are also taken care of. Leave it to me. Food and dishes, they bring people here every day, we cook them, and we guarantee you’ll have enough to eat.”
The more Yunchang listened, the happier he became!
But when he turned around and saw his two daughters, the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
"Little pigeon I..."
"Dad, you go, Chaoyu and I will go together, but you have to divide the work carefully, and find someone who can read to keep the accounts.
This business is done together with my uncle and second uncle. Don’t let unclear accounting issues hurt the harmony between brothers. "
Yunchang, who was feeling guilty about what he had said, didn't know how to start the conversation. But his daughter was so understanding.
How is his daughter so strong?
Isn't this easy to talk about?
Recalling Xia Rong's words, Yun Chang thought to himself with disdain.
"Okay, okay, Dad will listen to you. You must be careful. Although the town is not big, but..."
"My wife is going to town to do some shopping. Isn't she going to cook for you? The bowls and chopsticks are a problem. We need to buy at least a few more.
Our eldest son is at home tying up the bullock cart. You guys wait a moment, and when the bullock cart comes, follow along."
"That's great. Thank you so much, Village Chief. You actually thought of our family for such a good thing."
Yunchang still knew what to say in what occasion. Chaoge watched him communicating with the village chief, and there was a bit more appreciation in his eyes.
Such a father is not a hopeless case.
Some people are not incompetent or born to dig for food in the fields. At least they are hardworking and they know that when an opportunity comes, they must seize it.
Yunchang is at least like this. He is not like some people who are afraid of tigers in front and wolves behind. After a lifetime of doing nothing, he looks back and can only sigh, sighing that he has not accomplished anything in his life. He also complains that God is unfair to him and that he was born too ordinary.
"Why are you being so polite? Isn't our Dongzi a student under your fourth brother?
Just because your fourth brother took care of him, I thought of your third brother of the Yun family first."
I see......
Chaoge understood that having a scholar in the family was indeed popular.
After a while, the village chief's wife Huang and eldest son Yun Dafu appeared driving a ox cart. Thinking about the road back to the village, with ups and downs, Chaoge really didn't know if the old ox could handle it.
"Little Pigeon, Auntie heard that you were back last night.
Oh, I never thought you would come back.
It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.
In this era, with all the chaos and war outside, we are a peaceful place here. Disfigurement is a small matter. Being alive is a great fortune."
Huang was a talkative person. As soon as she got in the car, she started chatting with the Chaoge sisters about daily life, and there was never a dull moment in the conversation.
When they reach the uphill part, they have to come down, and the old cow won't feel so tired.
Chaoge decided to rent an ox cart when she returned. She would probably buy a lot of things by then, so she didn't want to tire out the beloved ox.
Although I have donkeys and horses, now is not the time to use them.
If she tied it up at home, what if the mother and daughter took it away and sold it when she was not paying attention? Although she would only lose a little money, she would not let the mother and daughter get away with it.
What's more, Xiaoxue and her horse have been with her for quite a few days, so she still has some feelings for them.
When they arrived in the town, Huang asked Chaoge and the others to buy some good things and wait at the town entrance. Chaoge declined, and Huang did not insist.
Relying on her memory, Chaoge found the place where the original owner had bought medicine for her mother. It was the only pharmacy in the town. The doctor was still the same doctor, just older.
Taking out the prescription, the doctor looked at the formula on it and was surprised!
"Girl, where did you get this prescription?
This, this is for treating stroke paralysis patients, right?"
