Chapter 151: Both men and women are good, let nature take its course
The Wang family has many sons, but they are not worth much. Wang Yong's parents prefer the eldest son, while the second son is more important. The rest of them will depend on their own abilities.
When the news that Dani and her husband had taken the land in the village spread back to the Wang family, his elder brother and sister-in-law were still sarcastically saying that Wang Yong had only been married to Dani for a few years and he was already capable of approving land and building a house.
Granting land is secondary. With such a small amount of money, building a house is the big expense.
His second brother had originally thought that since Wang Yong was going to split up the family, the Wang family had raised him for so many years, so he should at least give some money to support his parents. It's impossible to have money to build a house but no money to support the elderly, right?
Wang Yong was also a bachelor. He directly opened the door of their coffin room and asked them to find the money themselves. If they had no money, they had no money. All the money they had was used to buy land, and the remaining money for building the house was borrowed from his mother-in-law's family.
He wanted to build his own house, a place to sleep. His wife said, "You can't have children without a house." He was the only one among the five brothers without children, so how could he not be anxious? He had to borrow money to build it!
At this point, he reached out and asked his parents if they could also provide him with some money to build a house. He couldn't rely entirely on his wife's family. What's the difference between this and being a live-in son-in-law?
Old man Wang rolled his eyes and said, "Then take me to sell blood. You see how much blood I can get from my broken body. You can use the money I get to build a house."
Very good, it can be seen from this that we are indeed a family connected by blood!
But it was true that they owed a lot of money. No matter how the eldest and second sons of the Wang family calculated, they could not figure out where Wang Yong and his wife could make so much money. Moreover, Ma Dani's father was the village party secretary, and her uncle and aunt owned a farm. This was all obvious.
It was reasonable for her family to pool money and lend them money to build a house, so the brothers calmed down. They just said that even if the family split up in the future, they still had to give gifts to the elderly during festivals, and they also accepted this.
This is how it is in families with many brothers and sisters. Those with a good relationship, like the nine sisters of the Ma family, care about each other's affairs. Those with a bad relationship, like the five brothers of the Wang family.
If you have the ability to build a house, they will be unhappy, but if you build a house while being in debt, they will be quite happy. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you don’t live as well as I do.
A few days ago, his fourth brother came to ask when their house would be built. The sooner it is built, the sooner it can be enjoyed, right?
Mainly, he liked their room, even if it only had room for a bed. After Wang Yong and his wife moved out, he'd remove the wooden planks, and his and his wife's room would be much bigger! At least there would be enough space for the kids' things.
Wang Yong and Dani also wanted to build the house quickly. Wang Yong didn't go to the silk factory to carry the bag for the past two days. He asked his two brothers to pick up mud by the river. He also went to the brick kiln to order bricks and the village to hire a bricklayer. They would wait until the time came to chop wood and chisel stones. After preparing the materials, they could ask the villagers to help build the house.
"I may have to go to your place to buy some eggs and chickens then..." Dani said as she placed an order in advance with Chen Chunhua.
Chen Chunhua waved her hand and looked at Dani with a smile, "Just tell Wu Ni and Liu Ni about this. You two sisters know best how many chickens and eggs there are in the farm. I'm just their salesperson, hahaha..."
Dani also smiled secretly. Her younger sisters were very capable, and as their elder sister, she was very happy for them.
"I don't know if it can be finished before the autumn harvest. We just want to build three rooms, so it should be... quick, right?" If it is not finished before the autumn harvest, it will be winter, and everyone will definitely be busy in the fields during the autumn harvest.
Chen Chunhua calculated that there were less than two months left until the autumn harvest, which was a bit uncertain. They were still carrying mud from the river!
"The next step is putting up the beams. Even if it gets cold and the ground freezes, it won't be a big problem. We should be able to move in before the New Year, which is good. New house, new atmosphere!"
Dani covered her mouth and smiled, her face slightly red.
"I thought so too. Wang Yong also said that we should chase away the rat's tail and give birth to a little mouse. Then we can directly build the baby's bed as well."
When she knew that Erni was pregnant, she was really envious. She had been married two years earlier than Erni, but still didn't dare to have a child. Erni's in-laws were reliable, so she could get pregnant whenever she wanted. It was great.
When Erni heard her sister was planning to have a baby, her eyes lit up. "Really? You guys are going to have little mice too! I should be the head of the mouse, and you should be the tail. Then we can go to school together!"
"Yeah! I just don't know if they're cousins or brothers, or sisters and brothers... Then we can make clothes together!"
"Yes, yes!" Erni became excited when talking about this topic and couldn't stop. "I was already making clothes, but my mother-in-law said it's not good for pregnant women to touch needles and thread, so she snatched it away from me and said she would do it. She made all the clothes for my eldest brother's son. The newborn clothes are still in good condition, so I can use them directly when I give birth."
"That little chubby boy has grown up a bit in the past two years. He loves to play, and his pants have been worn out from running around. So my mother-in-law is making clothes for me now... If there are clothes for the baby, you can take them away and use them when the time comes..."
Erni held her chin with her hand and sighed with difficulty. She actually wanted to make clothes for the baby, but her mother-in-law was right. She had to go to work while pregnant, so she shouldn't do needlework when she came home.
Chen Chunhua and Ma Dani both looked at this young lady with amusement, who became more and more simple-minded after getting married. It really seemed like she didn't know how to appreciate the blessings she had.
"Did your mother-in-law say she wanted a grandson?" Chen Chunhua asked casually. The policy is tight now. If the old couple of the Zhao family can't get over it, and Erni gives birth to a daughter, then her life will probably not be as comfortable as it is now.
Erni shook her head. "Mother-in-law said it doesn't matter. My eldest brother already has a son, and women can work in factories and earn money now. It's not the same era as before when many men were needed to work in the fields. It's fine for both men and women, so just let nature take its course."
Sometimes being the youngest is a good thing. The older brother has the pressure of continuing the family line, and the younger brother just needs to live his own life.
Dani was happy for her sister, at least she didn't introduce her to the wrong person.
Before she knew it, she had sewn another pair of socks, put them in the basket, and then touched her belly.
"I'm fine with either a boy or a girl, just one is enough." Anyway, the Wang family has enough children, so whether they have another one or not is their own business, and it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl.
Chen Chunhua smiled.
"Times have changed. It's enough to raise one child well. Having more children means more worry. Look at how noisy these kids are at my house. Your uncle and I are really fed up every day!"
