Chapter 69: Discussion
After Li Guifen finished saying this, the faces of the four daughters-in-law present changed-
Sister-in-law Ma Guihua showed a surprised smile on her face, because in this family, the best she is in is Han Qianfang, and Han Qianfang works hard, and it is definitely not a loss to partner with her.
And Han Qianfang had a slightly bitter face, cleared her throat and wanted to refuse, but she was so frightened by Li Guifen's indifferent eyes that she didn't say a word.
The second sister-in-law, Cui Hehua, was still expressionless, and she couldn't see what she was thinking, but the action of cutting vegetables under her hands was a little bigger.
Shen Yuehua's eyes turned around on the three sisters-in-law, but she felt that Li Guifen's decision was good.
She herself is unwilling to work with Ma Guihua, who is lazy and lazy, and her third sister-in-law, Han Qianfang, is too shrewd and calculating, and it hurts her feelings to be with her.
Counting, on the contrary, the most taciturn second sister-in-law, who is not bad.
So, she nodded with a smile and said, "It's all up to my mother." ā
Li Guifen listened, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, it is enough to cook for two people, there is no need to fix so many people.
Although a woman's strength is not great, in such a critical period, even if she goes up to serve tea and water, it is good, let alone a woman working in the field, her strength is not small.
When it's time to take a handle, you can take a handle.
Speaking of which, they decided to build a house yesterday, and this afternoon, the whole village knew about it, and although a few of them said sour things not very nicely, the good fell on their own family members, and they did what they did with other people's mouths.
Li Guifen watched them work and said, "The second daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law, you bring cold boiled water and bowls with me." Their men are working outside, let's also find out, the eldest and the third family, you have cooked enough for today's meal, don't look back and not eat enough, it's not embarrassing. ā
Han Qianfang smiled and said, "Mother, you can rest assured that we will do something." ā
Li Guifen just didn't worry about Ma Guihua saying this. After hearing Han Qianfang's assurance. His face looked a little better, and he said, "I have a hundred hearts for you, you are so good at cooking." I'm leaving. ā
Shen Yuehua followed behind her with cold boiled water, the second sister-in-law Cui Hehua is not a talker, even if Shen Yuehua occasionally talks to her, this person will not respond silently.
The three of them came to the man's side. At the moment, the men were sitting at the edge of the table, looking at a drawing.
Shen Yuehua looked at these people. A few of them looked familiar, they must have seen them in their previous lives, but they couldn't name them.
Fortunately, Li Guifen saw that she was a little puzzled, so she took the initiative to explain to her: "Oh." You see the men over there, all of them were from the village to help build the house, and they were all familiar friends. I have the strength to work, and I will turn back. I'll introduce you to each other. ā
Her eyes fell on the man who was pointing at the drawings, and said: "That's your eldest brother-in-law, the second daughter-in-law has met a few times, they live in the village next door, and they will come over during the New Year's holidays, so the fourth daughter-in-law must not know her." ā
"Your eldest brother-in-law is a carpenter, and he has the ability to live at home, but he is very wooden on weekdays, and he won't come to trouble, plus he taught his apprentice to starve to death of the master, we just look like relatives, so I handed over the wood used to build the house this time to him to take care of, it is definitely a fair price, and it looks good."
Li Guifen said to Shen Yuehua: "This time, I will also put a few more new pieces of furniture in your house, when several of your sisters-in-law married in, they all gave new furniture and put it in the house, you married too quickly, we didn't have time to fight, this time we will make up for you." ā
When Shen Yuehua heard this, her heart was hot, and she said, "Mother-in-law, you're bothered." ā
Li Guifen patted her hand and said: "What are you talking about, I should have owed you, besides, your father and I have been thinking about building a house for a long time, but we have never had a suitable opportunity to bring it up, and thanks to you speaking out first, the 500 yuan bride price was originally your money, and this time I will naturally give you more points." ā
Shen Yuehua smiled when she heard this, she wouldn't be unappreciative, besides, she originally took out the bride price money just to build a new house and live a good life, she wouldn't do anything to take out the money in vain, and as a result, she couldn't get good things.
The three of them walked over and stood aside and listened to what the men were discussing, for it was now fashionable to build a two-story house, and it was decent in the village.
Now it is the time of the farm, and some people are going to go out to find work, and after hearing that the Zhang family is going to build a house, they hurriedly ran over, so the number of people is really a lot.
Shen Yuehua listened to their planning, she only cared about one question, that is, where to build the house.
And Zhang Tietou said when they mentioned yƬ and continued to build a yard: "Build a yard separately, build a few more, and make it like in ancient times. ā
As soon as he said this, several people in the village who came to work were taken aback, and one of the men said hesitantly: "Uncle Zhang, there is no need to build a yard at all, they are all a family, and it costs more money to build a yard, so it is better to use it to build a house beautifully." ā
Zhang Tietou is a person who has made up his mind and will not change.
He pondered for a while, and when everyone thought he had changed his mind, he said categorically: "Just do as I say, my brothers settle accounts, and it's easy to get annoyed if they get too close. ā
"Eh, what do you mean......"
The people in the village still think that a family should live together, especially now that it is all communal, and the whole village is a big collective, not to mention the peasant family as a unit.
It's just that Zhang Tietou, the person who paid for it, said so, and everyone couldn't refute it, so they had to make a fork on the drawings and start drawing new drawings again.
Zhang Jianguo sat there expressionlessly, and when the eyes of several villagers swept over, he sat motionless like a mountain, as if he was not affected in the slightest.
But he knew that the people of the Zhang family knew that this matter would soon spread throughout the village, and he didn't know how ugly the people in the village would be when the time came.
(To be continued.) )
