Things were going smoothly for the new house. It was like a cellar built by a normal farmer, but Pei Shaorong went to the next town and found a skilled craftsman to come and repair it.
Pei Shaorong did not intend to use this cellar only as a place to store grain. He hoped to build it into a modern basement. This was due to Pei Shaorong's deep-seated precautions.
People who have experienced the end of the world always have an instinctive sense of uneasiness about the world. Pei Shaorong thought of building a basement to store things and hide people.
Because the cellars that the villagers built themselves are only suitable for storing things, they are not very breathable, and people cannot stay in them for too long...
This time, Pei Shaorong made his bed into the modern northern kang, and also designed a fireplace on the wall of the house. With these two things, it is equivalent to installing modern air conditioning and heating!
There were neither fire pits nor fireplaces in Linjiang Village. The workers probably understood what Pei Shaorong said, but because they had never done it before, they were still nervous when they did the work.
However, Pei Shaorong was not worried about these things because he knew how to do it. The weather in the last days was cold and modern civilization was regressing. He had once worked with everyone at the base to build a house with a kang fireplace, so this technique was not too difficult.
Since he was building a house for himself, Pei Shaorong certainly couldn't cut corners. Everything had to be of good quality. He even had the workers use blue bricks to build the cellar.
This move made the workers smack their lips. The cellar was still tiled. There was really no place to spend the money. The villagers wondered how much money he had earned in Yueyang City. Many people also thought about going to Yueyang City to make a fortune...
As for the inside of the house, Pei Shaorong also planned to cover it with the unique stone flooring here, and even added another layer of wooden flooring in the bedroom.
Since he didn't dare to make the exterior of the house too unique, Pei Shaorong still wanted to make his own living area inside the house comfortable and beautiful.
Finally, there is the yard fence. For Pei Shaorong, it can no longer be called a fence, but only a wall.
To be more precise, it should be called a protective wall! Because the height of the wall is so high that even if you jump up, you can't see the scene in the yard...
Things about the house were going smoothly, and the furniture in the house also needed to be rebuilt. Pei Shaorong thought about it and decided to find Aunt Qin's future in-laws to make arrangements.
Aunt Qin's future in-laws' surname is Zhou, and he is one of the few carpenters with good skills in the town. Pei Shaorong is looking for Aunt Qin's future in-laws and doing Aunt Qin a favor at the same time. With an aunt like Aunt Qin, Pei Shaorong feels that sooner or later she will be able to help him with anything in the future!
After hearing Pei Shaorong's decision, Aunt Qin was overjoyed. She pulled him aside and prepared to introduce Pei's business to her future in-laws when she went to propose marriage herself.
"Don't worry, big brother. My master Mu Sheng is one of the best carpenters in town. He will definitely make the things well. Come on, I want to propose marriage now. You come with me!"
Aunt Qin was also a person who believed everything she said. She pulled Pei Shaorong to go to the town together. Pei Shaorong thought about it and decided not to refuse. With Abao looking after the family, he didn't have to worry.
Although Abao was stupid and clueless in front of him, he was not a loser in front of outsiders, especially when it came to money, he had the shrewdness of his father...
Along the way, Aunt Qin was very excited and kept talking about how great her son Qin Musheng was and how great the girl who proposed marriage was. In short, in one word, she was happy!
Speaking of which, Aunt Qin actually had a pretty hard life. Before she got married, she was just like Mo Xiaobao, despised by everyone in the village. She didn't marry Uncle Qin until she was in her twenties.
Uncle Qin was actually more than ten years older than her. His family was poor, and he had a wife like Liu who wanted to be a saintly womanizer all her life. Aunt Qin had a very difficult life when she first came to Linjiang Village.
Aunt Qin has been worrying a lot these years. Not only does she have to do housework, but she also has to fight with Liu, who always steals food from the house and gives it to others. She is exhausted both physically and mentally.
Just a few days ago, Pei Shaorong heard that Aunt Qin's saintly lady Liu almost stole the betrothal money that Aunt Qin was going to use to propose marriage and gave it to a deceitful fortune-teller.
If Aunt Qin hadn't arrived in time, the marriage wouldn't have been possible today. But Mrs. Liu insisted that she was doing good things. If it weren't for her, Qin Musheng wouldn't have been able to find a girl in town to marry. Giving money to the witch was a way to repay the gods...
Aunt Qin almost vomited blood at that time. This old woman Liu was not only a stupid saint, but she was also very self-indulgent!
Compared to Liu who likes to act like a living Bodhisattva and a saint, Pei Shaorong suddenly felt that his father-in-law, Old Man Mo, was much better.
After all, Father Mo is making money for his family. No matter how much harm he does, it is only harming others. This Liu family is a professional who has been cheating his own family for a hundred years...
Fortunately, there is always a conqueror, and the Qin family still has Aunt Qin to support them. Although they cannot completely cure the Saint Mother Liu, they can at least subdue her to some extent!
When they arrived in the town, Aunt Qin took Pei Shaorong to Zhou's house as if she was familiar with the route. When she went to look for her son before, Aunt Qin had already known the route well.
This carpenter Zhou's family is much wealthier than the Qin family. Not only do they live in the town, but they also own the house and yard they live in the town. In modern times, this can be considered as having a city hukou.
It stands to reason that families in towns like the Zhou family generally would not marry their daughters to the countryside. At the very least, they would find a family directly in town.
However, the Zhou family is different, because the daughter of Carpenter Zhou is a mute, and it is not easy for her to find a good husband in the town. Even if someone wants her, the Zhou couple are not very satisfied with the people who come to propose marriage.
Although Qin Musheng came from the countryside and his family was not wealthy, he learned the craft from Carpenter Zhou for three years, and Carpenter Zhou was very satisfied with his character.
Therefore, the couple intended to bring the two young people together, and Qin Musheng did not mind that the Zhou family's daughter was mute, so this marriage came about.
Both sets of parents and children were willing, and the marriage was quickly settled without any setbacks. Pei Shaorong also handed over his furniture-making work to Carpenter Zhou.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Pei, I will definitely make this furniture for you..."
Carpenter Zhou was very happy to receive the business from Pei Shaorong. The reason was that the deal was big. The house that Pei Shaorong was building was big, so naturally he needed a lot of furniture.
Pei Shaorong was not worried about money because he had money. He wanted all the furniture to be of high quality. All the furniture, big and small, was indeed a big deal for Carpenter Zhou!
After giving the down payment for making furniture to the Zhou family, Pei Shaorong and Aunt Qin happily prepared to return to the village together.
Pei Shaorong and Aunt Qin returned to the village, and the village chief who had gone to Yueyang City to see his daughter also returned. He not only brought back the things the villagers wanted, but also brought back two people, his daughter and grandson...
It is said that the village chief's daughter and son-in-law are both in Yueyang City, but the village chief Qin Laoshuan himself has never been to Yueyang City.
When he arrived at the place, Qin Laoshuan, who came from the country, was immediately attracted by the tall city walls and the prosperous and lively scene.
Pei Shaorong did not tell Qin Laoshuan directly about Qin Xiangrong's family affairs, so Qin Laoshuan did not know what his daughter had suffered.
After entering the city, Qin Laoshuan leisurely looked around the city for a while before he drove his donkey cart to ask for the direction of the county magistrate's mansion to visit his daughter and son-in-law.
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked, but once he did, he found out that the village chief, Qin Laoshuan, was staring at the person who was talking to him. "What did you say? Dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner?"
"That's right. Not only did Magistrate Cen make a wrong judgment, he almost married a murderer as his concubine. He was so disgraced that the governor of the prefecture came to investigate the case and dismissed Magistrate Cen from his post and demoted him to a commoner. Now, walk to the end of this street. Magistrate Cen and his family are probably coming out with their bags on their backs..."
That day, Feng was frightened by Pei Shaorong's tricks and dug up her husband's grave in fear. She was stunned when she saw the snake bones faintly visible in the abdomen of Wang Da's corpse.
When Wang Da died, Feng thought that Su Yuexia was the murderer, but she had no evidence at the time, and with the protection of the county magistrate Cen Ziwen, she gave up pursuing the matter.
Of course, the biggest reason is that Feng actually hopes that Wang Da will die soon. Wang Da is unfaithful and beats his wife, and Feng does not have much feelings for him at all.
The reason why they went to the brothel to cause trouble for Su Yuexia was because Wang Da wanted to use the family's money to redeem Su Yuexia, not because Feng was worried that her husband would take a concubine!
So even though she knew that Wang Da was most likely murdered, Feng was just pretending and did not shout and ask Cen Ziwen to conduct a thorough investigation.
Now that she had seen the truth behind Wang Da's death and had been visited by a ghost in her dream, Feng was so scared that she immediately packed her bags and went to file a complaint. She didn't want to continue being Wang Da's wife in the underworld, and she must stop pestering her with this dead ghost!
Following Pei Shaorong's advice, Feng found a man named Wang Lin, who was Cen Ziwen's former legal advisor in the yamen. Because he did not handle things well, he was demoted back to the countryside by Cen Ziwen.
Wang Lin had some talent but was a narrow-minded person. After being demoted by Cen Ziwen, he was very unwilling and hated Cen Ziwen to the core.
This suddenly caught Cen Ziwen with a fatal handle, so Wang Lin immediately took Feng to report to the provincial government. With a desire for revenge, Wang Lin spoke on Feng's side and successfully got the provincial governor to come to Yueyang City to investigate.
The incident happened so suddenly that Cen Ziwen had no time to react. The governor of the prefecture brought people to dig up the grave and open the coffin for an autopsy in front of the people of Yueyang City. As Feng had complained, Wang Da died from a tiny snake that had bored into his body!
Everyone who heard the truth at that time had the same feeling as Pei Shaorong. Their anus was aching. This way of dying was too...no one could find any words to describe it.
With the evidence, Su Yuexia had no way to refute and was arrested on the spot. Because she was pregnant, she was sentenced to execution after giving birth. Cen Ziwen lost his job for negligence and harboring a criminal.
At the same time, the fact that he favored his concubine and neglected his wife was exposed by his maid Taohong, which made Cen Ziwen lose all his reputation.
Because the murderer was not Cen Ziwen, the prefecture government dismissed him from his post and ordered him to return home. He was never allowed to take a single step into the officialdom again, and he was relegated back to the days before liberation...
