Upon learning that Yue Jiuyue had bought the door, a dozen or so elderly men came over and installed it in no time. Then, they strolled home with their hands behind their backs, each looking like a hermit sage.
If we ignore what they're saying.
"Third brother, you're really not up to par! You couldn't even catch a tile just now!"
"No way! I definitely caught it!"
"Yes, I almost fell off the wall."
"Big Brother is still the best; he grabbed Third Brother by the back of the neck in one go!"
"That's right! I'm the eldest brother of all eleven of you!"
"Brother, is your back alright? I think I heard a 'crack' sound?"
"That's probably the sound of teeth grinding, isn't it? My back is perfectly fine!"
...
When they got home, the foreman of the bricklayers immediately started groaning, "Ouch, ouch!" His back was killing him!
The old lady took out some safflower oil, warmed it up in her palm, and then slapped the old man's waist hard, kneading and pinching it, while spitting out a single word viciously, "Serves you right!"
At his age, still showing off, he deserves it! He brought it on himself!
(︶.?︶?)
After finishing breakfast, Yue Jiuyue went back to her room, washed her feet, bought some ointment to apply, and then took a nap.
Now that the courtyard wall is completely finished, their family can live in their own paradise, no longer being spied on by outsiders.
Moreover, their mother said that they would have to work hard to achieve whatever kind of life they wanted in the future, including a new house. The three brothers were extremely excited and couldn't wait to go out and earn money right now.
If these 300 acres of land are their home, then they would be very willing to build another house on their own land, a house that belongs only to each of them.
They didn't know when, but the three brothers were influenced by Yue Jiuyue's ideas and actually started to think about protecting their privacy.
On the contrary, the woman, who was also a woman, did not have this kind of thinking. What she thought about most every day was nighttime exercise. She was determined to give Yue Jiuyue a big fat grandson!
Yue Jiuyue: ╮（╯＿╰）╭
Refuse to be a scapegoat, starting with her!
The next day at noon, sure enough, several people came to their house, followed by a number of onlookers.
"Chao Dongniang, are you going to dig a well? In this drought, you're just wasting your time and money!"
"Can these people really find a place with water to dig a well? If they can, we should talk to the village chief and the clan chief. Maybe our village can have another well with water! One well isn't enough to feed us."
"What are you thinking! We spent so much money buying water to irrigate the wheat fields the other day, and we still don't know how much it cost! We're still hoping the village will dig a well? I think we'd be better off relying on Chao Dong's mother!"
...
It was noisy and chaotic, like a vegetable market.
"Yes, I was thinking of asking them to come and take a look. If they can get water out, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?"
After saying that, Yue Jiuyue closed the door, shutting out all the gossip.
"Sister-in-law, could you give me some water first?"
A little girl, looking weak, asked Liu Shi a question.
Liu was moving tables, chairs, and benches into the courtyard when she saw this, so she didn't refuse. The girl's face was just too frightening, like a dead person's, pale and bluish.
"Right away! Right away!"
Madam Liu hurriedly went to get a basin of water, which was filled with water she had boiled that morning and was ready to drink.
"Hey, hurry up!"
Liu held the bowl to the girl's lips.
