"Sister-in-law, this is a roof beam that my family prepared a few years ago. The wood is very well preserved and hasn't attracted any insects. Do you want it?"
The woman who came was about the same age as Yue Jiuyue. Everyone in this village was from the same family, and people of the same age were basically of the same generation. They would address each other as "sister-in-law" or "brother's wife," and Yue Jiuyue sometimes couldn't tell them apart.
"Yes, but we don't need much of this. We haven't considered building a house for the time being."
The house is big enough for now, and she's not planning to build anything. She really doesn't intend to build a house; she'll wait until this year of disaster is over before thinking about it. Otherwise, even if she manages to build something, no one will be willing to spend money to buy it, which would be a waste of effort and money.
As for the previous idea of each person having their own small courtyard, that's of course up to each person's own ability.
They're all adults now, and the fourth one will be eighteen in five months. By then, they'll all have to rely on themselves. Anyway, those who aren't capable can still live in this courtyard. As their mother, she certainly won't let them sleep on the streets.
She also wanted to open a soap workshop, which was the simplest way to make money.
She also wants to research cosmetics, skincare products, and the like, but that requires professionals; she can't make them herself, she just buys ready-made ones.
She also wanted to open several restaurants, first letting Liu, who knew how to cook, take charge, and later train a few chefs, or even poach staff directly.
There's also the bookstore. When she was little, her teacher asked her what her dream was. To save face, she said she wanted to be a teacher, but actually she wanted to be a librarian, whether the bookstore belonged to someone else or to her.
A cup of coffee, a book, in the afternoon sun, a gentle breeze...
...
None of that is urgent. What she wants to do now is to fence off the hilltop and ensure her private space.
Of course, you can look at shops in advance and buy one if you find a suitable one. If you don't want to open a shop now, you can rent it out.
Isn't being a landlady the kind of life that all the cuties want?
Some people delivered wood to Yue Jiuyue's house, and several elderly people in their forties and fifties came to Yue Jiuyue's house, saying that they wanted to build a courtyard wall for Yue Jiuyue. They said they would start by laying the foundation and that they didn't need to provide meals, just give each person a few coins.
Yue Jiuyue: (￣▽￣)?
They're all even more proactive than she is!
Yue Jiuyue had no choice but to refuse, because at this age, people in their forties or fifties are truly elderly, and she was afraid that something might happen and she couldn't bear the responsibility.
Then, Village Chief Lin was pulled out for another round of questioning.
“Chao Dong’s mother, those guys are all very skilled at building houses, it’s just that they’re a bit older now, and there’s been a disaster these past two years, so they haven’t had any work. Don’t worry, they’re not the only ones doing the foundation work. They’ll just be doing the digging, the younger guys will be doing the rest. Don’t worry, I guarantee there won’t be any problems!”
After thinking for a moment, Village Chief Lin added:
“Even if problems arise, that’s their own business. I, the village chief, assure you that even if something really happens one day, they won’t hold you responsible.”
Village Chief Lin had given his guarantee, so Yue Jiuyue had no reason to disagree.
"Then the village chief and the uncles should write a guarantee for me, guaranteeing that I won't be held responsible for anything that happens to you. You all have to sign and put your fingerprints on it, and your family members also have to sign and put their fingerprints on it, otherwise I won't dare to use you."
Then, Yue Jiuyue received more than a dozen guarantee letters.
