Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Building a new house and recruiting a son-in-law
A big tiled house with green bricks is good, but living with a group of relatives who are always looking for advantages, seeing them all the time, and having to be on guard all the time is not bad enough.
However, the house where Shen Moer and her friends live now has many advantages except for the disadvantage of being a little shabby.
The most important point is that the house is located at the entrance of the village, opposite to the farmland, the cowshed on the right lives an old man who was demoted, and the brigade headquarters on the left. Except for a house in the backyard where a small landlord and his mother live, the other houses are uninhabited. In other words, the nearest neighbors to them are only three people in total, and they are all "landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries and bad people" who dare not cause trouble at all under normal circumstances. This environment is almost the same as having no neighbors.
For the father and daughter who traveled through time and brought a treasure house with them, this environment couldn't be more suitable.
So they had never thought about really changing houses from the beginning, they just wanted to find an excuse to get money from the old Shen family.
After all, they can eat delicacies from land and sea, or simple meals, but they can never afford to lose.
The other people in the old Shen family didn't know what Shen Moer was thinking, they were feeling bad about the huge sum of money they had taken out.
Those who were more thoughtful, like Shen Shengli and Tian Fang, were thinking in their hearts that Shen Laoqi would not be able to use much of the money to repair the house, and most of it would have to be saved for his daughter. After all, they would have a chance to get it back if they took their time.
Who knew that when he turned around, he heard Shen Moer asking the captain if he could approve the foundation for a new house!
"You two, father and daughter, have enough room in one house, why build a new house? Old Seven, Moer is young and naive, you can't just get used to everything." Shen Shengli said with a sullen face. "
That's right, Old Seven, even if you have money, you should think about when you don't have money. Don't think that you took 300 yuan at once, money is not something you can spend easily. Don't just look at the present, think about the future. Moer is so old now, does she need to save dowry when she gets married? When Moer gets married, you will be alone, don't you need to save some money for your retirement?" Tian Fang was still in her usual style, giving you earnest advice, as if she was really thinking about you, but her expression was a little unnaturally anxious.
Shen Yongjun also said: "As the old saying goes, if you have enough food and clothes, you will be poor if you don't plan ahead. Although our families have some disagreements on the house, we are still brothers. Broken bones are still connected. Old Seven, your elder brother and his wife are all doing this for your own good."
If it were the original Shen Old Seven and his daughter, they might really be persuaded by these seemingly heartfelt words.
Of course, it is impossible for the current Shen Moer and her daughter to do so.
Shen Moer snorted, looking irritated, and said angrily: "My father has only me as a daughter, how can I get married? I want to find a son-in-law! Build a new house, find a son-in-law, and we will support him together in the future!"
She glared, looked at Shen Shengli suspiciously, and said: "You cheated me of my house, you won't cheat me of my money now?"
Shen Shengli: "..."
Shen Yongjun: "..."
Tian Fang: "..."
It is true that they planned to do so, but thinking about it in their hearts, being pointed out so bluntly in person is another matter.
Fenfen denied it flatly:
"How is it possible, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"You kid, how can you be so kind as to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, the second uncle is doing this for your own good."
"That's right, we are all doing this for your own good. You want to find a son-in-law, which is a good idea, but it is not so easy to find a son-in-law who lives with the family..."
Tian Fang wanted to say that she should not bring back a person who would make the family richer, but she did not say it directly for the sake of her reputation. Instead, she changed the subject and said to Shen Shaoyuan: "Seventh Brother, Mo'er is still a child with a temper. She does whatever she wants. You can't just give in to her."
Shen Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows . , and said directly: "I am just a daughter, if I don't listen to her, who else can I listen to? Besides, she wants to find a son-in-law to take care of me in my old age, which is her filial piety, captain, don't you think so?"
He turned to Zhou Mancang and asked: "Can my homestead be approved?"
Zhou Mancang smiled and said: "Yes, why not?"
They had just given up two large tiled houses with green bricks, so it was reasonable to approve a new homestead for them.
Shen Moer could read, and they had just signed a document, so paper and pen were ready. Zhou Mancang asked Shen Moer to write an application, and then asked Shen Shaoyuan to sign and stamp his fingerprints, and promised to go to the commune tomorrow to handle the procedures for them.
The other members of the Shen family didn't know what they were thinking, so they stayed and watched Shen Moer write the application. When they heard Zhou Mancang say that the application would be completed tomorrow, they all felt mixed emotions.
The person who had always been submissive suddenly changed his temperament. Not only did he get back the huge sum of 300 yuan from them, but now he was actually going to build a new house?
Shen Moer didn't care what they thought. She glanced at the group of people with different expressions and said, "When my homestead is approved and the date for building a new house is set, all the cousins, please come and help!"
The old Shen family was stunned for a moment. Shen Shengli frowned and suddenly remembered that when they signed the document to transfer the green brick and tile house, it was added at the end: "When Shen Shaoyuan's family builds a new house, Shen Shengli's family needs to make up for the thirty working days required for building the house."
There was also such a clause in the document of Shen Yongjun's family, but his family had less, which was ten working days.
At that time, they secretly mocked in their hearts. It was unknown when Shen Laoqi's family would build a new house -
he only had a concubine, and the concubine was married off. He lived in that utility room by himself, so how could he build a new house?
After all, it's impossible, so just write it down.
Who would have thought that what was thought to be impossible would soon come true?
Shen Shengli and the others wanted to regret, but they also knew that it was written in black and white, and the captain was a witness, so they couldn't deny it even if they wanted to.
Today, Shen Shengli lost both his wife and his troops, and he didn't have the energy to argue with Shen Shaoyuan and his daughter anymore, so he left with his family with a sullen face.
Shen Yongjun and Tian Fang wanted to argue again, but Shen Shengli, who paid more money and did more work, didn't say a word. The couple were used to pretending to be good people, so naturally they didn't want to take the lead, so they left with their children.
Zhou Mancang looked at the group of people who were walking out with obvious expressions of surprise, and then looked at the pale and thin Shen Moer and her father, and sighed secretly, saying: "Since we are going to build a new house, how to build the house and how to arrange the materials, you should all plan it early. I will call some people for you later. If you hurry up, it will be built in five or six days."
Zhou Peijun also said: "Yes, if you need any help later, just go to my house and call me."
Shen Moer and Shen Shaoyuan looked at each other and naturally agreed happily.
There are many annoying relatives, but there are also many enthusiastic people!
This Yangliu Brigade is really good.
After returning home, the father and daughter, who had seen countless rare treasures, took a large stack of reunions and looked at them over and over with curiosity.
How strange, in this dynasty, the people did not use silver or copper coins, but used such light paper. There were many things printed on the paper in fancy colors. It was said that the front side was the people's representatives walking out of the Great Hall of the People, and the back side was the capital, no, it was the capital's landmark building, the Tiananmen Tower.
"Hey, when can we go to the capital to take a look?"
Shen Shaoyuan sighed.
Back then, he lived in a place where every inch of land in the capital was worth a lot of money. In the whole capital, no other royal family's mansion could be better located than his palace.
"There will be a chance after all." Shen Moer said with a smile, "Before that, let's go to the commune first."
The team leader is going to the commune to handle the procedures for approving the homestead. They have agreed with the team leader to go to the commune with them tomorrow.
