Ning Pozi thought about it, so she called Ning Dazhuang to call Ning Dachuan.

Ning Dazhuang naturally understood what Ning Pozi was thinking, but as soon as he thought of the Liu family, the inexplicable Ning Dachuan couldn't open his mouth.

Ning Pozi gently pushed him a few times and persuaded: "Go, that's your eldest brother, even if the Liu family is at fault, you can't have anything to do with him, after all, blood is thick and water." ”

Ning Dazhuang hesitated again and again, but finally went.

Ning Dachuan came quickly, he looked at the room of old and young, and his heart was already like a mirror. But as soon as he remembered what Liu had told him this morning, he couldn't help frowning.

"Mother," Ning Dachuan called Mrs. Ning, and then stopped talking.

"Dachuan, it's been raining so hard lately that your third brother's house can't live in it, don't you see there's a vacant room in your house?" Mrs. Ning took the initiative to provoke the topic.

"Mother, that house is where Xuan'er lives, he loves to be clean and exquisite......" Ning Dachuan looked embarrassed.

Ning Pozi didn't care, "Isn't it just for them to stay for a few days?" I'll ask Cher to clean it up for you. ”

"Mother," Ning Dachuan was about to refuse, when Liu's scolding voice came.

"Yo Yo Yo, aren't they all separated, why do you want to come to my house to borrow it again?" Liu Shi held a butter umbrella and killed him from the east wing in a huff.

"Dafang, what are you talking about? Da Chuan and Da Zhuang are brothers, but why can't they do it if they borrow it for a few days? ”

Liu hugged her chest, where could she listen to Mrs. Ning's words, she glanced at the people in the third room, and said indifferently: "Hmph, I don't see you guys thinking about us as a family when I usually eat meat, and this guy is in trouble and remembers that our big house is coming." Hehe, want to live in our house, there are no doors! ”

Liu's words were extremely ugly, and Ning Pozi's face turned cloudy on the spot, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Dachuan, your daughter-in-law is really powerful, she even dares not to listen to my words, what do you say about this?" ”

"Mother, the third brother's house is ruined, and I am also very uncomfortable, but, but..."Ning Dachuan wants to say that Ning Dazhuang has more than one brother, what is this Ning Pozi always pinching him?

Ning Dazhuang also saw that the people in the big house didn't want to help them at all.

"Mother, don't embarrass the eldest brother, we won't live here, I'll go to the village to find someone else to see if there is a vacant room."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Ning scolded Ning Dazhuang, "You go out to live, isn't that making others laugh at our brother's discord?" ”

Ning Dazhuang was silent, he didn't know what to do.

Liu Shi saw the stitches, "Third brother, after all, we are a family, no matter how you say it, we have to take care of each other, so let's do it, what about this house, I will vacate it for you to live in, but you have to pay for the house!" ”

Ning Dazhuang took a long time to react, and he said embarrassedly, "Naturally, naturally." ”

Seeing that Ning Dazhuang agreed, Liu Shi excitedly stretched out his hand and said, "Then pay the money first, sister-in-law doesn't ask for much, you can give five taels." ”

Five taels? This Liu clan is really a lion with a big mouth! I think it took more than two taels of silver to repair the kitchen at home. It will cost five taels for a few days to stay temporarily, and the Liu family is really drilling into the eyes of money, without any human touch.

Ning Dazhuang was a little embarrassed, did he give this money or not?

"The big house, the third family is just staying for a few days, you want so much silver, do you want face?" As the elder of the family, Mrs. Ning naturally wants to speak fairly.

"Hehe," Liu Shi was unscrupulous, "Mother, what's the use of you saying that people want face?" You can't eat it as food, only real silver is the most useful. ”

Mrs. Ning almost fell angry, she clutched her chest, and said bitterly: "If you insist on this, then let the third child come to live in my house, and I will move out alone and find a cave to deal with." ”

"I can't help it, I can't help it, mother." Ning Dachuan exclaimed, it had only been a few months since the family was separated, and the old lady was kicked out of the house. Whoever listens to it will not say a good word from the three brothers of the Ning family.

"That's it," Ning Dachuan hurriedly mediated, "You just give two taels of silver, whatever you want." ”

"Okay, okay," Ning Dazhuang hurriedly took out two taels of silver and handed it to Ning Dachuan.

After that, Ning Xueer's family moved to the East Wing. A small house, with only one bed in it, Zhang made the bed neatly. The family was relieved, and no matter what, there was finally a place to stay.

After packing up her things, Ning Xue'er ran to her kitchen and boiled some water. I just got drenched in the rain, and I have to take a shower quickly to avoid catching a cold. While boiling water, Ning Xue'er also boiled a pot of ginger soup, and the family drank all the bowls.

After washing their bodies and changing into clean clothes, the family sat down to talk.

"Mother, we still have some silver in our house, why don't we take advantage of this time to repair the house."

"No, no," Zhang's head shook like a rattle, "It's all taken to repair the house, what will we use in the future?" ”

Ning Dazhuang also echoed, "That's right, it's autumn, if it's winter, we don't have any silver in our hands, so how can we celebrate the New Year?" ”

Speaking of which, there is still no money to make trouble. Ning Xue'er frowned, she really didn't want to give in anymore. "Mother," Ning Xue'er hugged Zhang's arm and coquettishly, "Let's fix one, Xue'er doesn't want to live such a frightened life again." ”

As she spoke, Ning Xue'er's eyes were full of tears. Zhang looked at his well-behaved daughter, why didn't he feel heartache?

She was red-eyed and choked up: "Daddy, let's build a house, or a smaller one." ”

Ning Dazhuang sighed silently, and secretly blamed himself in his heart, blaming himself for being useless and letting his wife and children suffer.

His eyes dimmed instantly, and then he asked in a hoarse voice, "How much silver do we have in our house?" ”

"Fifty taels," Liu whispered a number. Ning Dazhuang touched his chin and thought about it, if he wants to build a small house, these silver are enough. Looking at the expectant eyes of his wife and children, Ning Dazhuang nodded and agreed.

Zhang's excitement couldn't help herself, she felt that her life was rushing again. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Boss, I, I'll go weave." ”

Ning Xue'er also went to the kitchen to cook dinner with a smile. Only Ning Dazhuang was left alone to settle accounts there.

After eating, Ning Dazhuang went to find Mrs. Ning and told him about building a house. Mrs. Ning didn't object, she only asked lightly, is the silver enough?

Ning Dazhuang nodded and said, "There are still fifty taels of silver at home, and it should be enough to save it." ”

"Okay, you are going to pick a good day to start construction, if the money is not enough in the future, my mother has some pension money here, you can take it to the emergency first."

Listening to Mrs. Ning's words, Ning Dazhuang was full of emotion, he thanked him with a red face, and left.

Out of Ning Pozi's house, Ning Dazhuang went to Ning Daniu again. Although Ning Daniu was reckless, he was also righteous and made many friends in the village. It's always a good idea to discuss something as big as building a house.

When Ning Daniu heard that Ning Dazhuang was going to build a house, his eyes immediately widened, and he said in surprise: "Third child, where did you get so much silver?" ”

Ning Dazhuang touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said softly: "It's all Xue'er, the yam and jujube mud cake she made last time was very popular with Mrs. County Ling." As soon as the lady was pleased, she gave her some silver. ”

At this time, Ding, who was embroidering on the side, couldn't help but look up, his eyes full of surprise. But she didn't say much, just quietly listened to the two men discussing the construction of the house.

"Da Zhuang, didn't I say, you say more and more with this silver, and say less and less. Let's barely build a two-room tiled house. ”

"Huh?" Ning Dazhuang's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Second brother, no, I'm still thinking about building a three-room big tile house." ”

Ning Daniu didn't refute him, and only quietly calculated an account. "Third brother, let's not count it as labor, just the money for this material is a lot of silver. You see, the green bricks in our town are ten yuan a piece, and you have to buy a thousand yuan to build a house, which is ten taels of silver. In addition, there are tiles, beams, floor tiles, furniture, etc., all of which are silver! ”

The more Ning Da Niu calculated, the more distressed Ning Da Zhuang became. Although Gusu Mansion is a rich place in the world, the people living here do not necessarily have a good time. The extremely high prices of goods made the life of the peasants facing the loess tight.

If Ning Xue'er hadn't been rewarded this time, Ning Dazhuang would never have dreamed of building a house.

Ding quietly looked at Ning Dazhuang's face, and she smiled: "Father, don't scare the third brother anymore, the third brother wants to build a big house, just grit his teeth and build it, the money is not enough for everyone to make up." ”

Ning Dazhuang wiped the fine sweat that was constantly oozing from his forehead, nodded and said, "Thank you, second sister-in-law, I'll discuss this matter when I go back." ”

After Ning Dazhuang left, Ning Daniu's face changed, and he turned his head and asked Ding: "If the child's mother said that he would make up money, how can we have any silver in our family?" ”

Ding Shi rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "If you don't have it, just borrow it, the third child is such a big thing as building a house, let's not talk about some money." ”

"If I want to borrow you, I can't pull that face."

"I'll go, I'll go!" Ding's iron heart wants to be close to the three-room suite, what is this bit of silver? It's a big deal that she can ask the owner of the embroidery workshop to make an advance.

In the big house, by the faint candlelight, Liu Shi tossed and turned and played with the two taels of silver in his hand. She thought to herself, this money is easy to come by, and the three-room family is really a good bully.

"Squeak", the door opened, Ning Dachuan stood outside the door with a blue face, Liu hurriedly put away the silver, stepped forward and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Ning Dachuan entered the door with a straight face, and said angrily: "The third child is ready to build a house, and my mother just called me to help, meaning that I should help him." ”

"Help? How to help? Liu asked with a sharp voice. It's just money. Ning Dachuan took a sip of water and said lightly.

Silver? Liu's immediately reflexively touched the two taels of silver that had just been covered in his pocket, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, they build a house with three rooms, why do we have to pay for the big house?" ”
