Chapter 107 108. Changing the Foundation
Liu Heizi found Gu Shulin cursing, "Village Chief, I don't want that house. It's too unlucky. The corpse was found before the man even moved in. You have to get me another one."
Gu Shulin was busy cleaning up his homestead and was stunned when he heard the news. "What corpses? Didn't Captain Li say that all the former officers and soldiers had been cleared out?"
"It would be great if they were all cleaned up," Liu Heizi said with a face full of grievance, "They are still in the cellar. When I went in, I was shocked. My heart is still beating fast. If you don't believe me, feel it."
Ancient Book Forest, "..."
"Village chief, please tell me, can you give me another place?"
Gu Shulin said, "But all the places here have been allocated. Where can I find an empty house for you?"
Liu Heizi pointed at the land next to him and said, "Aren't there vacant lots here and there? Just take a piece and I can lay the foundation.
Anyway, I don’t want to stay in that house. It makes me feel lonely when I think about it.”
Gu Shulin said, "That won't do, these are fields, and people rely on them to grow food.
If you really don't want to, then you can only go to the back of the mountain and see if you can squeeze out another piece of land from them?"
"That won't work. The mountain behind is at the end of the village. You can point me to the entrance of the village."
Ancient Book Forest, "There is a piece of vacant land opposite Lao Qi's house, but I don't know what the land is like. If it is soft mud, you will be the one who suffers in the future if you build a house there.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with the corpse. Just ask it to go away. And if you burn a few incense sticks, it will be over, right?
There are dead people in all these houses. If we really count them, there will be no place for people to stay.”
"It's easy to say. If you were to encounter this situation, you might run faster than anyone else." Liu Heizi muttered quietly, but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
"Then I'll go over and take a look. If it's a solid piece of land, I'll take it."
Gu Shulin waved his hand, "Then go and take a look. If it doesn't work, go back and tidy it up. We have to live our lives."
"Thank you, village chief," Liu Heizi grinned, "I'll go over and take a look right away. We have to build a house anyway, so we have to find one that suits our taste."

"Guo Lao Qi, you are already slacking off before you have finished cleaning up the yard." Liu Heizi's voice came from far away before he arrived.
Gu Wenheng calmly put the drink bottle in his hand behind him, "Heizi, why are you coming to my place when you are not packing your things at home?"
"Stop talking, it's unlucky." Liu Heizi's eyes kept moving around the empty space opposite him. "How do you think the land opposite you is? Have you seen it?"
Gu Wenheng didn't understand what he meant, "Where is the time? Aren't you cleaning your house now?"
"Then lend me a tool. I need to see if this piece of land is solid. If it is really hard soil, maybe we can become neighbors in the future."
Gu Wenheng pointed at the hoe thrown in the corner and said, "Then you better look carefully. This is not a joke."
Liu Heizi casually said, "I understand," then grabbed a hoe and rushed into the grass.
In less than a moment, Liu Heizi walked out again dejectedly, with mud all over his feet.
"You have picked up a treasure," Liu Heizi scratched his head with a headache, "There seems to be a spring there, and water is constantly gushing out. From now on, your family will have more convenient access to water than those families living by the water."
Gu Wenheng, "Don't be so picky. After all, they were able to live in the house before, and you didn't have to spend that energy to lay the foundation."
Liu Heizi helplessly told his discovery, "What do you think we should do? My mother and my wife don't want to go near that place now, how can we live there in the future?"
"..." It's really hard to persuade them. After all, anyone who encounters this will be unhappy.
Liu Heizi put the hoe back to where it was and walked away muttering, "Alas, I can only look for another place. How did I end up encountering this mess?"
Jin Qianqian, "We are really lucky."
Just as they were about to continue cleaning up, Li Cuicui ran over mysteriously.
"Seventh Brother, you and Jin have to search this yard carefully. This big house must have a lot of wealth. If you find anything, don't make a sound."
Gu Wenheng: "..." Does this old lady have clairvoyance?
"I can tell you that when I was cleaning the foundation, I dug out a small clay pot, which contained fifty taels of silver and some copper coins. Now I can rebuild the house directly.
When your master comes tomorrow, let them help me build two tiled houses. "After getting the unexpected money, Li Cuicui wanted to spend it quickly for good luck, so building a house now was the best choice.
Jin Qianqian looked envious, "Mom, you are really lucky."
Li Cuicui, "That's not true, I haven't made any big mistakes in my life except marrying your father.
But your father doesn't know about this money, so don't say you guys are being rude when the time comes. Whenever you mention this money, just say you lent it to me first."
Li Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief after she finished speaking, staring at the couple closely, "You guys are not unwilling to help your mother, are you?"
"Mom, why is this happening?" Gu Wenheng helped her sit on the stone slab where they had just sat.
"Ah, it's your father. He hasn't given up yet and is waiting for the youngest to come back. You all know that he has always been partial to the youngest, but the youngest is totally unreliable. I have to put shackles on him.
Anyway, as far as I am concerned, you brothers separated under the same conditions at that time, and it will be the same for him in the future.
If your father is capable, let him do it himself. I am the one who finally got hold of the family fortune."
Jin Qianqian silently gave a thumbs up in her heart, showing her sobriety.
Gu Wenheng, "..." Why doesn't this old lady go find the others?
Li Cuicui saw through his thoughts at a glance, "You brothers can't even take care of yourselves, how can you afford to build a house for me now?
If I hadn't seen you guys find a foreman yesterday, I wouldn't have taken this step. At most I would have just kept the money tight."
What made Li Cuicui even more determined was another point: when it came to doing the work, Gu Dashi was blatantly being lazy while covering his healed wound.
Could it be possible that the adobe structure of this house was built piece by piece by myself?
She might have gritted her teeth and endured it before, but now she won't do it anymore and does whatever makes her feel comfortable.
Gu Wenheng nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement, "Mom, then you don't have to rush to clean up. Wait until tomorrow to pay a little more money and let the workers brought by Foreman Ding do the work."
