Chapter 20: The Chief's Thoughts



Originally Song Chun was worried.

Ever since that little sister went to help little Li, he came back later, saying that he was there to check his legs, but he always pestered his sister to talk.

He even thought that this little Mr. Li had good intentions and fell in love with his sister.

Master?

Haha, so you wanted your sister to study medicine.

Indeed, ever since they left the Song family, my sister seemed to have become smarter and her brain has been working very well.

Not only the eldest sister is doing well, the second sister is also becoming more and more cheerful and lively, and the youngest brother speaks fluently and can almost recite the Three Character Classic.

My legs also recovered.

After leaving the Song family, it seemed that their luck had turned for the better.

It seems that the decision to break off the relationship, which risked the public's approval, was the right one.

In order to retain him, Xiao Li listed a bunch of reasons, such as it was better to be discharged early.

There is no adult at home, so if I need to go to the bathroom, the girl can take care of me. If there is a sudden accident, the bone setting area is still very fragile. What if...

With so many reasons, Song Chun felt that if he lived a few more months, his legs would be healed.

"Well, Jinxiu, you should listen to Master Li and stay for another five days. The injured here are indeed hospitalized for half a month before being discharged."

Song Jinxiu: Other people are discharged from the hospital in half a month, but is it the same for you? You drank water soaked with Bodhi and Jianmu leaves, and your bones are connected well, okay?

But she also understood that her brother wanted to take advantage of her and he was really worried about her long legs.

For a patient's recovery, his mood is also very important.

In order to reassure her brother, Song Jinxiu had no choice but to compromise.

Forget it, just stay here. Is it this annoying Mr. Li who always wants to trick her? Then let my brother live here first, and I will go home and build a house during this time.

Although the old house was leaky, it was infested with scorpions and poisonous insects. Song Jinxiu was very annoyed and decided to tear it down and rebuild it.

"Brother, I want to go home."

"Why go home?"

The brother and sister were talking when Li came over.

During this period, Grandpa Li came once. I heard that the clinic gave them free treatment and also provided food and accommodation. The master was so excited that he almost kowtowed to Little Li.

He also heard that Song Jinxiu accidentally saved a nobleman and was rewarded with a small amount of silver. The master bowed to her again.

"Oh, it's really the old man's blessing that these children have finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships they have endured."

As for his coming today, he has a purpose.

Li blinked his eyes, looking like an old fox, "San Ya, how are you going to use the money given by the nobleman?"

Song Jinxiu said, "Grandpa Li, I want to buy two acres of land first. What do you think?"

Li slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, but it's too good. The good girl is a sensible person. You know, a girl must have a good family. If her family is good, her husband's family can stand up straight in the future."

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm still young. I'll talk about getting married when our family has built a big house, my brother has married his wife, my younger brother has gone to school, and my younger sister has found a place to stay."

Li laughed, rolled his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Oh, you are so arrogant, are you really willing to spend money to build a big house? Have you thought about leaving some dowry money for yourself?"

If this girl could renovate the house and buy two acres of land, Chun's leg would be healed and he would not have to worry about finding a wife.

As for the two maids, they will have trouble finding a husband no matter what.

Send Qiu to school, forget it. It is wrong to think that Xiaoqiu, that bean sprout-like child, can grow up.

You know what, the two times I saw this little guy, his face had gained some flesh.

His eyes rolled around, San Ya was too young, and there was no one married at this age.

These four children are in such a difficult situation, we have to find a way to get San Ya to pay out all the money she got and leave it for these two little ones.

This is also the purpose of his coming here today.

At that time, he knew that the children were also rich, so he just cared about having fun and didn't think too much about it.

But when I got home, I thought, this money was earned by San Ya, and Chun, the silly boy, let her take it. What if the girl had selfish motives and kept it for the dowry?

Looking at Grandpa Li's calculating face, Song Jinxiu was speechless.

Is this old man trying to provoke me? He was afraid that she would take the silver as a dowry. He was really a biased elder who favored boys over girls.

"Grandpa Li, I'm only thirteen. I will get married before I'm twenty."

"Oh, so you've become a married old maid?" Li joked with her.

"So what? As long as I have money, I can find a live-in son-in-law after I get married." Song Jinxiu looked very happy.

The grandfather here is a good old man, and he treats the four siblings sincerely. Seeing that his brother's leg was injured, the old man was really worried.

It was because of this worrying old man that Song Jinxiu wanted to get a vaccination in advance. Don't worry about her marriage and don't match her up with anyone.

I choked. This girl wants the family property for a live-in son-in-law?

But this family fortune was earned by this girl, and he couldn't say anything else, so Li ๋…Š๋Š€ felt a little depressed.

Never mind. After all, this girl is still young, and getting married is a matter for the future. Let's talk about it later.

The most important thing now is to take the money out of this girl's pocket.

"Sanya, now is the right time to build a house. The thawed soil is very soft and it's easy to load a few carts. The villagers can also help. If it's another month or so, it will be the busy farming season."

Li looked at her eagerly, as if this house was his own home.

Song Jinxiu smiled and nodded, "Okay, we also know about building a house and buying land. Grandpa, what do you think we need to pay attention to?"

"Oh, of course you understand. You are still young, and your brother's leg still needs to be taken care of. So, tell me how much money you have in your pocket? I will arrange it for you."

She looked like a wolf grandmother, and Song Jinxiu really wanted to cover her face.

If the old man really wanted to help them, she would have suspected that he had ulterior motives.

It's so obvious, the three big, bright words "Plotting Against You" on the top of his head can illuminate half of his head.

Song Jinxiu pointed a finger mysteriously.

"Ten taels?"

I felt a little hopeful. Did Mr. Li mean to save a high-ranking official?

I heard that high officials reward their servants with gold leaves.

But think about it, San Ya is just a child, she was able to save people by chance, so it was not a mistake for her to get ten taels.

Ten taels of silver could buy two mu of dry land. San Ya also pawned five taels of silver, which she used to build three fighting houses. The four children could finally have a family and a business.

The so-called fighting house is a slang term here, which means the outer wall is made of bricks, the inner wall is made of mud or adobe, the roof has beams, the rafters are nailed, and then rattan is laid, covered with mud and tiles.

From the outside, it looks like a grand brick house, but in fact it saves a lot of money on bricks.

Generally, people who donโ€™t have much money but want a good house build this way.

It is windproof and snowproof yet economical and elegant. In fact, half of the households in Songjia Village build their houses this way.

When I was finding a wife for my son, when my daughter came to look for the property, I took her parents around the room and they all agreed to marry their daughter to me immediately.

So Li decided to build such a house for Chun's family. Once the house was built, it could be used as Chun's wedding house.

In his heart, he was secretly calculating where to buy bricks and tiles at the cheapest price and how many free laborers he could get in the village.

But Song Jinxiu said in a long and roundabout way, "Ang~guess again."

Looking at the little girl still shaking a finger.

Li ๋…Š's heart suddenly became excited.
