The brickwork for Ye Caiping's house was finished today.
As expected, they didn't have enough bricks, so they bought another 20,000 bricks from Grandpa Liu, which was finally enough.
We need to wait another six or seven days until the wall bricks are completely dry before we can install the main beam.
The porcelain for building the outhouse hadn't arrived yet, so both Ye Er's family and her family were in a period of work stoppage.
Taking advantage of a rare moment of leisure, Ye Caiping and Grandma Ye were chatting idly in the courtyard.
“Caiping, you don’t know? Hahaha!” A burst of laughter rang out, and Granny Zhao swayed in: “I went to Lijia Village for a feast today.”
Ye Caiping immediately perked up.
Although Granny Zhao has no manners, loves to take advantage, and is shameless, she has one great advantage—she is well-informed!
They can get firsthand information on any gossip, just like front-line intelligence agents!
Grandma Ye, of course, knew her old neighbor's capabilities, and her eyes lit up: "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
Granny Zhao then proceeded to recount what had happened at the Li family's house.
That's all. He added, "My younger sister told me that after his second wife and her entourage moved in, they just lay at home all day and did nothing."
"Grandma Li does all the housework. I heard she even makes her mothers-in-law and grandmothers wash her baby clothes! Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Many people in their village have seen Granny Li secretly wiping away tears. When asked what was wrong, she would just smile and say, 'Nothing, nothing. These tears are just nourished by her happy life.'"
Old Mrs. Ye felt a surge of satisfaction and sneered:
"She used to be a lazy old lady who could stay at home all day. She didn't do any housework, and even her feet had to be washed by others. Now, she's getting what she deserves!"
Instead of criticizing Granny Li, Ye Caiping admired Li Jiaojiao to the point of prostration!
In her past life, Li Jiaojiao would pick up a beggar and take him home because she was attracted to his good looks and thought it would be fun.
In her past life, Li Jiaojiao did nothing but lie around all day, eating and waiting to die. She wouldn't even pick up a fallen soy sauce bottle. That was because Li Jiaojiao had the money to hire servants! She had the confidence!
But what about this life? Li Jiaojiao has nothing, yet she still has the courage to lie down and give up just like in her previous life. There's really no one like her!
But doing the same thing in different environments can have different consequences!
At least in this moment, I wouldn't have had such a falling out with Granny Li in my past life.
Ye Caiping said, "By the way, didn't Li Jiaojiao pick up a beggar and take him home?"
"You mean that cripple?" Granny Zhao asked mysteriously. "I saw that man. He doesn't look like a beggar at all; he's incredibly handsome! Tsk tsk."
"What a pity, he's a cripple! My younger sister said that Li Jiaojiao was very close to that man. Tell me, how can Li Jiaojiao be so shameless, knowing how to bring men home at such a young age?"
Grandma Ye snorted: "If the old ladies are so good at seducing people, isn't it normal for the young ladies to bring men home?"
"Is it possible or not?"
Once Ye Caiping was sure the male lead was really crippled, she felt relieved!
Gu Han, a scion of a prestigious family, is such an arrogant and conceited person!
Moreover, he has many enemies in Jingcun. It's one thing if he can't go back, but if he really does go back, with his lame leg... he'll be laughed to death by his enemies!
When he finds out that it was Li Jiaojiao who made him crippled, he'll probably want to kill Li Jiaojiao!
When the time is right, she will reveal the truth to Gu Han!
The task of wiping out Li Jiaojiao's entire gang is now entrusted to Gu Han!
Thinking about it, Ye Caiping rubbed her hands together excitedly.
Granny Zhao chatted with Old Lady Ye for a long time before leaving satisfied and refreshed.
Before leaving, he hurriedly grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Ye Caiping's house and put them in his pocket.
At this moment, Ye Erquan and the others returned with the delivery.
After lunch, Ye Caiping, the Ye couple, Ye Erquan, Ye Daquan, and Ye Yong went out together.
This time I'm going to find a carpenter.
It's time to finalize the doors, windows, and furniture for the house.
Wei wanted to go with them, but Ye Erquan stopped her:
"We already discussed what furniture to order last night. I've written it all down. You should rest at home."
Mrs. Wei frowned, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
She was afraid that Ye Erquan would waste money and do some useless things.
But it was precisely because Madam Wei was always thinking about how to save money that Ye Erquan didn't want her to go with him.
Otherwise, you'll have to nag about everything you buy, and after all that nagging, it's not like you don't have to buy it anymore; the money was meant to be spent anyway.
Grandma Ye said, "It's rare to have a few days of leisure, so you can go with the eldest son's family and take the maids to do some sewing. Besides, we still need to make soup later, and if you come along, we'll be in a hurry."
Only then did Mrs. Wei timidly lower her head: "Okay."
Du stood to the side, looking at Ye Caiping with anticipation, wanting to say "please" but too embarrassed to say it.
My sister has already helped their family a lot; we can't ask for anything more.
As for arranging for Yong'er to learn martial arts from a master, if it works, great; if not, forget it.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Little sister, don't worry about Yong'er. It doesn't matter whether he can do it or not."
"good."
Ye Caiping waved to them and left with Old Man Ye and the others.
This time, we went to a place that was even closer: Wangjia Village.
Wangjia Village is right next to Qinghe Village. The two villages are separated by a small ditch, and it's only a short walk to each other.
Led by Old Man Ye, they soon arrived at the home of carpenter Wang Shuantou.
Wang Shuantou was the same age as Old Man Ye, a sixty-year-old man who was planing wood in the yard. When he saw the newcomer, he jumped up:
"Brother Youtian, what brings you here?"
Old Man Ye laughed heartily: "I'll ask you to make some furniture."
