In the evening, Zhou Lian'er came with a basket covered with a cloth.

"Ah Ruan, my father asked me to tell you, the craftsman who built the house has been found, come over tomorrow morning to see the place, you will wait at home tomorrow morning, don't go out."

Lin Ruan happily responded and looked at her basket, "Sister Lian'er, what are you carrying in this basket?" It's so fragrant. ”

Zhou Lianzi uncovered the cloth on the basket, and inside was a bowl full of braised pork.

"My mother's roasted meat, let me send some to you and Xiuxiu."

Lin Ruan unceremoniously reached out and pinched it and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly squinted his eyes with beauty.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, my aunt's craftsmanship really doesn't have to say."

Zhou Lian'er smiled, "Your craftsmanship is not bad, my mother said, the dishes you cook are more flavorful than those she makes." ”

Lin Ruan waved his hand, "I just put a lot of condiments, so the taste is heavy, and these dishes are the test of kung fu, let me do it, I will definitely not be able to do it." ”

Xiuxiu also made a fuss about eating meat.

Zhou Lian'er reached out and pinched her little face, the little girl has meat on her face these days, which makes her even more cute.

"Go get a bowl and come over, I'll free up the meat, your rice should be cooked, hurry up and eat."

Xiuxiu turned her head and hurriedly went to get a big bowl.

Lin Ruan said while making a bowl, "Sister Lian'er will eat here together." ”

Zhou Lian'er waved her hand, "No, it's hard to walk after a while, and there is so much meat at home, if I don't go back, my third brother, who has not counted the food, will definitely not leave it for me." I can't afford him to go. ”

Lin Ruan knew that Zhou Lian'er was joking, so she didn't keep it anymore and sent people out.

After the sisters had eaten dinner, they washed up and rested.

Early the next morning, Lin Ruan heard a noise outside the courtyard.

When I listened to it, it was the old Wang family and the eldest uncle Zhao family.

Lin Ruan rolled her eyes, this old Wang's courage is really big, he didn't scare her out of trouble yesterday, not to mention, he even had a thief's heart and pulled the Zhao family with him.

Yesterday, she thought that the old Wang family would have heart problems or something, so she didn't do it ruthlessly.

The result was that she was overly worried.

In that case, don't blame her for being ruthless.

Lao Wang carefully led Zhao to the door of the old mansion, and was relieved to see that there was no trace of a snake in front of the door.

Yesterday scared her enough.

Zhao Shi looked around, turned his head and said, "Mother, you must have read it wrong yesterday, where is the snake here?" ”

Old Wang pointed to the blood stain on the ground that was still there, and said, "That's what I left by smashing that snake yesterday." ”

Zhao glanced at it, a little skeptical.

She had never heard that a stoned snake would still be alive, and that she would be able to find a helper to come back for revenge.

This is simply unheard of.

She suspected that the old Wang family was probably old and confused.

But what about the blood on the ground?

But that's not what she's here for today, so she didn't think much of it and left it behind.

"Mother, there is smoke in the courtyard, the dead girl is at home, let's knock on the door and let her out."

Thinking of the eight taels of silver, Zhao's heart was like a cat's paw, and he had even thought about how to spend the silver after getting it in his hand.

Her little girl hasn't cut new clothes for a few years, and she should cut a new one and keep it for the New Year. Lin Yu, who made her the most proud, also had to cut two clothes, although he was in the academy on weekdays and didn't have many opportunities to wear civilian clothes, but not wearing it and not having it were two different things, and people couldn't look at it.

The second daughter-in-law is also pregnant, and the family is about to add another mouth, and the marriage of the third child should also be put on the agenda, and the bride price will be at least five taels of silver.

This pile costs silver, and Lin Ruan's eight taels of silver can solve her urgent need.

But looking at the old Wang family, the Zhao family couldn't help but pout.

This old pious woman is a goose plucking goods, and I don't know how much she can get for the eight taels of silver.

However, no matter how small the fly's legs are, they are still meat, even if they are divided into two or three, it is good.

Thinking like this, Zhao was even more anxious in his heart, and he took two steps forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.

As a result, before the hand was slapped, he suddenly shouted, "Mother! ”

I saw that on the door, there was a black snake with a thick wrist and a triangular head, spitting letters at her.

This snake is very venomous.

If she had slapped her just now, she would have been bitten.

Lao Wang heard her shout, turned his head to look, but there was a cold on his ankle, and when he looked down, he saw that a green bamboo snake was circling around her foot and neck.

And beside them, dozens of poisonous snakes, spitting letters, aimed at them.

Lin Ruan stood behind the gate, and through the crack in the door, he coldly watched the old Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law surrounded by those poisonous snakes.

The two of them didn't dare to move, they didn't dare to scream, they stood there like wooden stakes, shaking all over. At both feet, there was a suspicious puddle of water stains.

I really want those poisonous snakes to give these two bad women a mouthful.

However, Lin Ruan is still human in the end, although the old Wang family and the Zhao family are very annoying, they are also extremely evil.

As long as they don't step on her bottom line, she will scare and scare them at most.

As for whether they are intimidated or not, it is not in her consideration.

When the two of them were so frightened that they were about to faint, Lin Ruan asked those poisonous snakes to retreat a little.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ran away with a roll, and Lao Wang's shoes fell off, so they didn't dare to come back to pick them up.

The poisonous snake dispersed, and Lin Ruan went back to continue cooking.

Soon after breakfast, Uncle Zhou came with a craftsman.

The craftsman is also surnamed Zhou, but he has nothing to do with Uncle Zhou's family, he is a sturdy man in his forties, with a dark face, looking very spiritual, and people call Master Zhou.

After Lin Ruan told him about his plans, Master Zhou took a turn in the courtyard, looked at the environment, and measured the ground with his feet.

After a while, Master Zhou calculated the number of bricks and tiles and some other materials needed to build the house in the forest courtyard this time.

"Master Zhou, I don't know where to get these bricks and tiles, can you help prepare these?"

"This is naturally possible, your situation, your uncle also told me, I don't charge you more for bricks and tiles, you just pay a salary. After all, the workers can't be asked to contribute in vain. ”

Lin Ruan nodded: "This is natural, then it will trouble the master." Nothing else, I just wanted to start construction as soon as possible and build the house before the snow fell. ”

Master Zhou calculated the time, nodded and said, "It's too late, we will start construction in ten days, and when the first snow falls, we will build the house for you." ”

The matter was decided, and Uncle Zhou sent Master Zhou away.

Xiuxiu was so happy that the corners of her mouth curled up with two small spikes.

"Sister, are we going to have a new house to live in?"

"Yes, does Xiuxiu want to live in a new house?"

The little girl nodded happily, "I think, with a new house, I don't have to huddle with my brother, my brother's feet smell bad and smelly." ”

Lin Ruan was amused by her.

Not long after sending Master Zhou away, Lin Ruan heard a boiling sound from the village.
