Chapter 54 Improving Housing
Hearing that the little girl actually told the truth, Zhao Yongzhong was the first to sit still, and desperately gave Zhao Siniang a look.
"What? Don't have a house to live in? Didn't your family get half of the East Chamber? Yang couldn't sit still, so he jumped up and asked.
"Grandma, sit down first and listen to me speak slowly." Zhao Siniang hurriedly pressed the Yang family back on the bench, and then said: "Our fourth uncle is about to get married, and our grandmother thinks that it will be inconvenient for the two families to squeeze into the same east compartment in the future, so she paid for the house in our house, and let us find another place to build a house to live in." ”
"Pay? How much money did Lao Zhao's family pay? Yang asked hurriedly. She remembered that her daughter and son-in-law didn't bring much money with them when they came here, and in order to buy the things in the shop, they took out all the money on their bodies, and they only made up a little bit of what they always carried, and most of this money was the money that Siniang got from selling honeycombs, so their family's original cash was even less. Oh, my God! She really couldn't imagine how many sons the old Zhao family had given.
"Grandma, don't worry, our grandma is not the kind of person who doesn't care about our three rooms, they promised to give us five strings of money, but recently they were short of money, so they gave us five strings of money first. Not to mention my dad! Aren't you worried about him? Although it was inconvenient for us to go when we were separated, my father was here, and he tried his best for us to fight for it! Zhao Siniang said with a smile.
Jiang and Zhao Sanlang always listened to Zhao Sanniang complain that their sister lied without blinking their eyes, but now they finally saw it. Although Zhao Shilang was young, he also knew that this was not the case at all, and he was stunned when he heard it. As for Zhao Yongzhong, his face was red and white, and he wanted to make a hole in the ground.
Zhao Siniang hurriedly said: "I said this, but I didn't intend to worry your second elder. I just want to say that now our family has no house and no homestead in Zhaojia Village, but we have opened a shop in Jiangjiatan, which has become our family's biggest livelihood, and we will count on this shop to live in the future. It's better to take advantage of the abundance of money now, and simply build a larger blue brick compound at the shop, make a new shop in the front, and live in the back for our two families. ”
After listening to Zhao Siniang's proposal, the room was silent for a while, and everyone was stunned: the new shop in the building room was a certainty, but no one thought that Zhao Siniang would propose to settle down in Jiangjiatan.
Zhao Sanlang was the first to come back to his senses and agreed: "My sister is right, we have four acres of land left in Zhaojia Village, although we have made money now, we can't afford to run back to Zhaojia Village to build a house." Since our shop is here, let's settle down here! ”
"Yes, yes! If we really want to build a house in Zhaojia Village, we still have to run at both ends, how troublesome it is! It's better to set up your home next to the shop as my sister said, so that you can take care of the shop's business! Zhao Sanniang also raised her hands in approval.
Zhao Shilang also whispered: "It's better here, I don't want to go back." ”
Jiang Shi did not speak, but looked at Zhao Yongzhong, his eyes full of anticipation. She really hopes to build a new house, if she can, this house is as far away from Lao Zhao's house as possible, and it would be better if she could settle in her mother's Jiangjiatan.
Zhao Yongzhong has been mixing with Zhao Siniang every day these days, and after Zhao Siniang's overt and secret mention, he is no longer as pedantic as before, and he also knows that for the sake of this family, he has to stay away from the old Zhao family. But he still felt a little relieved that he couldn't let go of the old father and mother at home, so he was a little hesitant.
Zhao Siniang said with a smile: "Dad, Jiangjiatan is not separated from Zhaojia Village by 108,000 miles, and we can go back to visit grandma as soon as we are free in the future." But I thought in my heart, except for the New Year's holidays, I would never go back when I was free, and if I went back, I would be looking for abuse!
Zhao Sanniang glanced at her sister and smirked: "Only by staying in Jiangjiatan with peace of mind and doing a good job in the business in the shop, can we have the money to buy some things and go back to honor our grandma during the New Year's holidays!" ”
When Zhao Yongzhong heard this, he nodded and agreed, and then said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I originally just wanted to borrow it for a few days, but I didn't expect that the two of us would be able to live together forever in the future." ”
Yang couldn't wait to ask: "Just now Siniang said that a new house was built and the two families moved in together?" ”
Hearing Zhao Siniang say this just now, the Yang family still couldn't believe it, but listening to the words of his son-in-law, he seemed to mean the same thing, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy. Everyone has selfish intentions, and she also hopes that her good grandson will have a new house to live in, and even a house of his own, so that he can use it to marry a wife and have children in the future. My family doesn't have this ability, but my daughter's family got a hundred taels of silver, and it would be great if I was willing to help their family!
"Siniang's family is moving to our village and building a house on the dock, which is a great joy! I don't have anything to help my grandfather, and the land on the dock is a congratulatory gift to your family! As for the new house, it is still your family. How can there be a mother's family who runs to the married daughter's house to live! Old Man Jiang refused.
"Yes, your family has helped our family too much, and now that we have the income in the shop, our family can be regarded as worry-free. How can you even let you wrap up the house? Jiang Hua on the side also resolutely disagreed.
Zhao Yongzhong and the others took turns to persuade them, but the two of them just refused to agree.
In fact, when calculating the use of this hundred taels of silver, Zhao Siniang's first thought was not to build a house, but to use it as a capital to go to Jinghai County, or even the Youdu City, to open a shop. Although a hundred taels may not be enough to buy a shop, renting a storefront is still enough. With her craftsmanship and her family's hardships and hard work, Zhao Siniang is confident that she can still run the shop in a big city and make more money. What makes her even more heartfelt is that if she stays away from here, she can stay away from those superb relatives in Zhaojia Village, and she will be able to save a lot of trouble in the future.
But Zhao Siniang remembered her grandfather's family in a blink of an eye, her uncle's leg was not good, and there was only her grandfather's strong labor who was more than half a hundred years old, and the business in the shop was not completely on track, and the family still lived in a dilapidated mud house......
Zhao Siniang hesitated, and after thinking about it, she chose to stay. She decided to repay the Jiang family's kindness to her after she improved the Jiang family's life, and then persuaded the family to go to the big city with her to pursue a better life.
So at this moment, Zhao Siniang racked her brains to persuade the Jiang family to agree, so that she could improve the housing conditions of the Jiang family.
"Grandfather, uncle, if you think that the two families live together, outsiders will find it strange to see it, then the two of us will build two new houses separately. Our family invested the 100 taels of silver into the shop, and the money for the two families to build the house was first taken out of the shop, and then a part of the dividends were deducted from it as repayment at the end of each month, what do you think? Zhao Siniang proposed.
"It's not borrowing your family's money to build a house, it's just another way of saying it......" Jiang Hua muttered.
"Uncle, the business in the shop will only get better and better, and it is only a matter of time before your family makes money to build a house. In this case, it is better to build it earlier, so that grandparents can live in it as soon as possible and enjoy the blessings. As for whether the money is borrowed from our family or from the shop, what does it matter? Zhao Siniang continued to persuade.
"Yes, it's going to be built anyway, so the two families will build it together, and then you can save some work." Zhao Yongzhong also persuaded.
Seeing that Zhao Yongzhong's family was thinking about their own family everywhere, they were all scruples, and they were all persuaded to do their part, what else could they say, Old Man Jiang, so they had to nod and agree.
Next, the two families combined the information that Mr. Jiang inquired about today to finalize the specific construction matters.
The big guy said while Zhao Siniang recorded it with the newly bought paper and pen. Taking advantage of the free time, she also sorted out the accounts of the past few days. The Zhao Sanlang brothers, who were sitting on the side, looked envious.
Zhao Siniang originally wanted to open her mouth to propose something, but after thinking about it, she decided to give up for the time being.
