Lin Jiaxiang originally intended to build the house in their yard. Nanzhi initially planned the same thing.
So, after Song Hanyan's persuasion, the group finally decided to find a good place nearby to build a house.
Although Lin Jiaxiang usually reads in the courtyard, he is, after all, an outsider.
For the sake of the reputation of the women in the family, it would be better to have a separate small courtyard.
On the other hand, Lin Jiaxiang gave too much money, enough to build a brick house and a small courtyard.
Nanzhi simply approached Zheng Xinghai and bought a piece of land nearby.
Then they hired a few more bricklayers.
They went to the brickyard in the neighboring village and brought back a lot of blue bricks.
Construction began on the third day.
Most of the houses in the village are made of mud. Although mud houses are habitable, they are far inferior to brick houses.
As soon as construction started, villagers came over to ask questions.
Who wants to build a house here?
They all looked on curiously.
“The Song family, Nanzhi opened a big restaurant in the county town. Look at that, it hasn’t been long, and they’ve already built a brick building.”
Moreover, they used high-quality blue bricks.
In the entire village, only the village chief's house was made of blue bricks; everyone else lived in mud houses, and some even lived in thatched huts.
This news caused a great stir, and soon the news that the Song family was going to build a brick house spread far and wide.
Nankai University.
Shu Zhizhen was so angry she gritted her teeth.
"Did you hear that? That good-for-nothing has actually built a brick house!"
"Give us two taels of silver a month, and we'll live in a brick house. Do you think that's appropriate, sir?"
Nankai seemed lost in thought.
Since his daughter left home, she has started a business.
He secretly went to check out the restaurants in the county town; those were places only wealthy people could afford to go.
You must have made a lot of money during this period.
Shu Zhizhen retorted defiantly, "Husband, what are you hesitating for? We're her parents, after all. How could she not care?"
“Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. What can a contract severing ties prove?”
The conversation between the two was overheard by Zhao Hui, who was passing by, and she scoffed lightly.
Although she wasn't a good person before, her mother-in-law was the truly greedy one.
He used to act all high and mighty, but now that he sees his sister-in-law's success, he can't sit still anymore.
They didn't even consider whether someone like Nan Zhi would give them anything.
But since they're going to embarrass themselves, they shouldn't drag her into it.
These days she has finally realized that as long as her mother-in-law is around, she will never have a good time.
At home, she could not disobey her mother-in-law. All the chores that Nanzhi used to have to do were now hers, a stark contrast to her previous treatment.
She learned her lesson from then on.
In the main room, Nan Kai pondered for a while, and with Shu Zhizhen adding fuel to the fire, he felt even more strongly that Nan Zhi should be filial to his parents now that she had money.
So the two agreed to go and find Nanzhi.
With a large number of people and Lin Jiaxiang's constant urging, a five-room brick house was completed a week later.
After the house was built, the bricklayers breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally finished.
There's no need to listen to the county magistrate's son nagging in your ear all day long.
You should know that these days, they have endured not only physical labor, but also mental torment.
For this reason, several bricklayers went to Nam Gyi more than once to complain.
Nanzhi was both amused and exasperated.
Getting up early was mentally and physically exhausting for Lin Jiaxiang, so he could only place his hopes on these bricklayers.
To avoid being mistreated, the bricklayer worked overtime and managed to complete the construction of five houses in seven days.
Therefore, Nanzhi paid the bricklayers an extra fifteen coins per month.
The bricklayers were all smiles; money was the most important thing compared to the young master's nagging.
Once the house was completed, Lin Jiaxiang couldn't wait to move in.
"Why can't I move into my house?"
Nanzhi: "Because there's one last item."
Lin Jiaxiang eventually compromised.
The next day, Nanzhi asked Lin Jiaxiang to buy candy and fold red paper into red envelopes, which contained different amounts of copper coins.
They had people stand on the roof and throw red envelopes down, while children and adults below picked them up.
It was incredibly lively for a while.
Even Grandma Nan came to join in the fun.
"Zhizhi, look, Grandma found five coins, take them quickly." Grandma Nan happily took the money out of the red envelope and stuffed it into Nanzhi's arms.
Nanzhi was deeply moved.
Since coming into this world, Nanzhi has experienced the joy of being favored by her grandmother.
This feeling is like springtime, flowers blooming, and grass sprouting from the soil—it's incredibly joyful.
Nan Chungu and his friends were holding a stack of red envelopes, opening them one by one to count them.
"One, two, three... ten coins! Haha, I got ten coins!" Yang Yang said happily.
Nan Chungu: "Twelve, my twelve."
Nan Chungu jumped for joy.
This is the most money he has ever received.
The adults also found quite a few, and they were all beaming with joy.
Shu Zhizhen and Nan Kai arrived just as the crowd was robbing money.
Each red envelope contained at least one coin, and with so many people vying for it, everyone managed to get one.
The amount of silver scattered today must be no less than one tael of silver.
This money shouldn't be used to support parents, but instead it's being given to these useless people.
Thinking about this made the elderly couple even angrier.
Those with sharp eyes had already noticed the elderly couple emerging from their joy of counting money, and they thought to themselves that there was going to be a good show to watch.
He casually nudged the person next to him.
"Why are they here again?"
One incident after another caused the villagers' goodwill towards the Nankai family to plummet.
