Zhou Bing also fell into contemplation after listening to it, he inherited all the memories of Yao Dazhuang, and also knew that Yao Dazhuang's life from childhood to adulthood was not very happy.

Father Yao used to be fine, but Yao Lao Niang was inexplicably eccentric, and he was very fond of his second son Yao Erzhuang, and he was close to Yao Erzhuang when he was a child, and he never let him work, and even had the idea of sending Yao Erzhuang to the school at the beginning, but Yao Erzhuang was not that material, so he gave up.

And as the eldest son Yao Dazhuang, since he can remember, he has been playing pigweed to do farm work, and his small shoulders don't know how much pressure he has undergone, not only that, but he also eats less and wears poorly, but fortunately, he grew up healthy later, and fortunately when he was sent by Yao Lao Niang to work at Li Yuanwai's house in the next village, he learned some words with the old housekeeper there, and finally had a little knowledge, but unfortunately he could not be sent to school by his family, and even Yao Dad's mason skills were not intended to teach him, the reason was that Yao Lao Dad thought that he was the boss and could do it, In the future, he can do anything, and his second brother Yao Erzhuang can't do anything, so Daddy Yao wants to leave the craft to his second son, so that the second brother can have a stable future.

If it weren't for Yao Dazhuang's eyebrows and eyes being a little similar to Yao's father, Zhou Bing would have suspected that Yao Dazhuang was not biological.

In fact, the love of Yao's father and Yao Laoniang is indeed only given to Yao Erzhuang, the second son, who is not favored in the family, as well as Yao Dazhuang's two younger sisters who were married out early, the eldest sister Yao Daju and the second sister Yao Xiaoju, when they are at home, they also eat less and do more every day, Yao Dazhuang is very good to the two sisters, but unfortunately he can't stop his father and mother from exchanging the two sisters for money, the eldest sister married to the mountains with two taels of silver, and the second sister is slightly better, the same is two taels of silver, and she married to Li Jiakeng next door, Fortunately, when Yao Dazhuang went to work at Li Yuanwai's house in Lijiakeng, he also knew his second brother-in-law Li Han, who was honest and willing to work as his name suggests.

It's just that after the family was separated, there were too many children in the family, and there was not much land, Yao Dazhuang had difficulty supporting his family, and he didn't have the energy to take care of his two younger sisters, but he just walked around his relatives during the New Year's holidays, and it was only limited to the second sister's family, and the eldest sister married far away into the mountains of Dayushan, and there were still dozens of miles of mountain roads from Xiaoyushan, and it was not very convenient to come and go, and I haven't seen him again in the past few years.

carefully recalled Yao Dazhuang's family affairs, so Zhou Bing also knew about the situation in the old courtyard and Yao Laoniang's character, so he completely believed what Yang Lihua said, and he was not prepared to deal with the people over there, as long as he took care of Yao Dazhuang's closest family, and the rest didn't care about his business.

When Yao Dazhuang was in deep thought, Song Lingxue was also carefully observing him, although she couldn't see anything famous, but at least she was sure that no matter what situation this Yao Dazhuang had, he definitely didn't like the people over there in the old courtyard, which could be seen through his occasional frown.

"Well, let's find another place then." Zhou Bing figured it out, and nodded, although he didn't think of a way to make money for the time being, but he still had some money in his hand, this time he made a great contribution, Zhang Bantou introduced him to Ma Dianshi, Ma Dianshi praised him very much for this time, and gave him a reward of ten taels of silver, plus the five taels of silver that Zhang Bantou gave him, he can also buy a homestead, as for the money to build a house, he went to the county seat these days to find a way.

Song Lingxue stopped talking when she saw him finish speaking, thinking that he was worried about money, so she opened her mouth to talk about this business, and didn't say too much, only said that she earned more than a hundred taels of silver.

Zhou Bing was surprised, although a hundred taels of silver was nothing to him before, but for the current identity of Yao Dazhuang, it was a huge amount of money, but he didn't expect Yang Lihua to have such an ability, which also made him guess again, maybe Yang Lihua is no longer the one before, right?

However, such a guess, he will not show it, and now he himself needs to be extremely careful, if this woman also changes the core, it will naturally be good for him. Before he was sure, it was better for him to follow the rules.

"I only have fifteen taels of silver in my hand, leave the matter of buying the foundation to me, as for the money to build the house, I will find a way, you can earn the money and keep it for the family." Zhou Bing still said that he has replaced Yao Dazhuang now, and naturally he has to rely on himself to make the Yao family better, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for him, it's not that he doesn't look down on this woman's money, he thinks that men should stand up to the sky and can't spend women's money, there is that kind of machismo at work, in fact, at their time, there were many men who relied on the financial resources of their wives and mothers to help their colleagues, although Zhou Bing did not agree, he did not despise it.

However, Song Lingxue didn't know what he thought, he only felt that he might be a macho man, so he felt that he couldn't spend a woman's money, but he didn't plan to break it, but smiled lightly: "I know that the head of the house is capable, but don't be too tired when you just come back, don't be too tired when you come back, don't be in a hurry to make money, we are husband and wife, what else do we share with each other, the money is used first, and it is not too late to hand it over to me when you make a lot of money." ”

Zhou Bing was a little surprised when he saw her so down-and-out and generous, he always felt that this woman seemed to have brought him too much incredible, and he was not a pedantic person, seeing that she said this, I was no longer tough, and I thought that I would earn more money for her in the future, so I took out three silver ingots from my arms, all of which were five taels, and handed them to Song Lingxue.

Song Lingxue saw that he didn't refuse her words again, and smiled again at the moment, but this time with a sincere smile, thinking that at least this person was not inflexible, so he took the money and said: "This money is enough to buy a house foundation, I went to the village to ask before, there are three good places, why don't we go and see it together?" ”

Zhou Bing looked out the window, the rain was not very heavy, so he nodded and agreed, Song Lingxue went to tell Liu, asked her to tell everyone, and then went back and forth after lunch, so she went to get two oil-paper umbrellas.

The husband and wife each held an oil-paper umbrella and put a pair of straw sandals on their feet that were specially non-slip on rainy days, and went to the east of the village.

After a few days of rain, the ground is indeed muddy and slippery, with coarse straw straw shoes to protect the shoes, that is, will not make the shoes dirty and play an anti-slip role, Song Lingxue not only sighed the wisdom of the ancients, so early invented rain boots, although not as convenient as the rain boots of later generations, but also made it much more convenient to travel on rainy days.

The advantage of a rainy day is that they didn't meet anyone on the road, and they didn't have to think about how to say hello to others, Song Lingxue and the others quickly arrived at the east end, first looked at the land that was very close to the big locust tree, then next to the house of the seventh master, and finally the place near the Dongshan Pass.

In the end, the two of them agreed that it was still the best place in Dongshan Pass, not to mention that it was open and close to the mountains and waters, and there were no neighbors and it was very quiet, the location was in front of Xiaoyu Mountain, and they were not afraid of the wild things in the deep mountains behind them running over to harass.
