Chapter 220: Building a new house!

It was Bai Xiaofeng, who was always smart, who reacted first.

She clapped her hands with a smile on her face: "My fourth brother is going to be the grandson-in-law of the great scholar! This is the best marriage ever!"

Li Chunhua also reacted. Fourth brother had found a good marriage. Although he had to be a son-in-law, that was the family of a great scholar, so fourth brother would definitely not suffer at all - and besides, the family was finally going to build a new house!

Li Chunhua simply couldn't control her facial expression and smiled happily: "This is all great news..."

Su Rouer recalled the past when, because she was a girl from the county town, she secretly looked down on the Yu family, who were from the country. She took her mother-in-law's tolerance for granted and lived happily in the Yu family for several years.

It was after Xingxing came home last year that she went through a lot and her mentality changed.

At present, the future fourth sister-in-law is not only from the capital, but also the granddaughter of a university scholar. I don’t know how high her status is... Compared with her, they are all mud legs digging for food in the fields. I don’t know if the fourth brother’s wife will look down on them...

Su Rouer was a little nervous.

But seeing that her mother-in-law, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were all smiling, she couldn't be upset and said with a smile: "Then we have to get busy!"

Mrs. Wei nodded in affirmation: "We have to get busy. Since last year, our shop in the county has been making money. With the previous capital, we have saved some money."

Mrs. Wei paused, and glanced at the three daughters-in-law in the house: "... I made a rough plan earlier and planned to take out 100 taels to buy a betrothal gift for Si Yang, and the rest of the money will be used to repair the new house. I'm telling you in advance, so don't feel jealous. After all, our family is too far behind the Liu family. Even if Si Yang is going to pay the bride price, we have to show our sincerity."

One hundred taels!

That’s a lot!

The three daughters-in-law were a little surprised.

But then I thought, she is the granddaughter of a university scholar!

Plus, they have four sheep, which makes them a little different from ordinary people... This one hundred taels is well deserved!

The three daughters-in-law understood this, and although they felt a little sad about the 100 taels, they all expressed their support: "Mom, you are the head of the family, you have the final say!"

"Yes, that's right. We are not jealous girls anymore. We know what's going on."

"That's right, mother. Our shop can make money. We will have a lot of extra money in the future!"

Mrs. Wei was very pleased.

She took out some silver coins of similar size from her bosom and wanted to share them with her three daughters-in-law: "It's not much, take it and buy some clothes or something."

However, the three daughters-in-law all declined.

Shuangyun was currently doing most of the housework, and they were doing embroidery in their spare time. Mrs. Wei didn't care about their income and let them keep it for themselves. Over the past six months, the three of them had saved a lot of money in their piggy banks!

"Mom, just keep this money." Bai Xiaofeng said quickly, "Now we have to pay for the betrothal gifts and renovate the house, it's time to spend money. We have money in hand."

The other two also nodded: "Yes, we all have money."

Mrs. Wei was somewhat moved.

Everyone in the family is now focused on one thing and working towards the same goal. In this way, there is no need to worry about the family not prospering.

"Okay." Mrs. Wei took the small change and said more gently than ever before, "When Sanbao and Siyang come back tonight, we'll discuss the new house."

"Okay!"

The Yu family discussed the matter for a whole day and came to a conclusion.

Although the yard is not small now, if the new house is built, it will occupy the space in the yard, not to mention the chicken coop and pigpen, and it will inevitably appear cramped.

It’s not about finding another piece of land and building a new house there.

At first, Mrs. Wei was a little hesitant: "Is this money not enough?"

Yu Sanbao didn't take it seriously: "Mother, think about it, it takes at least two months to build a new house. In these two months, won't our shop make any money? ... Right now the business in the shop is getting better and better. Bo Ge'er has come up with a lot of weird ideas, and many things sell like crazy once they pass through his hands. Now the shop has made at least tens of taels of silver this month, and at least tens of taels of silver in the past two months. How can it not be enough?"

Mrs. Wei thought about it and agreed.

Therefore, the idea of ​​building a new house nearby was agreed upon by the whole family.

…

The marriage of the fourth son was actually a source of worry for Old Man Yu. Now that the marriage of the fourth son was so good, Old Man Yu was very happy.

After deciding to build a new house, Old Man Yu and Mrs. Wei took Xingxing and began to look for a suitable site in the village.

In fact, there is a large piece of wild land not far from Yu's home. Just choose a good place and go to Li Zheng to go through the formalities and get a land deed.

After all, Nantuo Village is vast and sparsely populated, so residential land is not a rare thing.

Old Man Yu was originally taking Xingxing for a walk, but halfway through the walk, Xingxing pointed to a field and suddenly said, "Grandpa, grandma, shall we build a new house here?"

When Old Man Yu and Old Lady Wei took a look, they found that the weeds here were taller than the little girl Xingxing, and it looked quite desolate.

But Xing Xing was the darling of the Yu family. When she said that, Old Man Yu and Mrs. Wei took a quick look at the field and decided, "Okay, let's listen to our little lucky star and settle on this place."

Old Man Yu and Mrs. Wei discussed it with everyone in the family last night. Since they are going to build a new house, it must be big.

The first and second wives each have two younger brothers. When they get married and have children, there will be quite a few people.

It would be better to build all the houses at once.

So they simply built four small courtyards, each with a main house, two side rooms, two back rooms, and two small rooms for storing miscellaneous items.

Leave an open space in the yard where you can grow some vegetables, dry clothes, etc.

As for Old Man Yu and Mrs. Wei, they lived in the large courtyard in the middle, and the four small courtyards on the side could lead directly to the main courtyard.

There are no stoves in the four small courtyards; the stove is located in the main courtyard in the middle.

The main courtyard is large, and the chicken coops and pig pens are also located here.

After deciding these, the area of ​​residential land required is a huge number.

Fortunately, there is a lot of wasteland in this countryside.

Old Man Yu went to Li Zheng and paid a sum of money, and then he brought back a land deed.

This is how the construction of the Yu family's new house officially began.

When the people of Nantuo Village learned that the Yu family was going to build a new house, they came to see the area that the Yu family had marked out and were all amazed: "How many rooms are they going to build?"

Some people envied: "The Yu family has many children, and this is probably to build a house for the children to get married."

Some people were jealous: "The Yu family is really capable, how much money does this cost?"

Some people were positive: "Uncle Yu, I'm very strong and the farm is not busy right now. When you hire people, add me in."

"And me, I'll come too!"

But no matter whether others were envious or jealous, the Yu family's new house began to be built in full swing.
