Chapter 48: Who's in Charge
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Zhang, who came over to join in the fun, immediately said enthusiastically: "Village chief, I don't have anything to do when I'm idle, I'll help them clean up!" ”
The village chief glanced at her unhappily, and snorted coldly: "The village spends money on errands, so naturally you have to find someone who is quick to work, and I don't dare to ask for a lazy woman like you!" ”
Mrs. Zhang is notoriously lazy in the village, but she is also the one who likes to be opportunistic, so she naturally likes to come out and jump at this time.
He Jiuniang glanced at her silently, and remembered in her heart that this mother-in-law is notoriously lazy, and she likes to play clever tricks to take advantage of small advantages, and there is no need to make friends in the future.
Mrs. Zhang didn't expect the village chief to give his own water in front of the newcomers, and her face was a little unbearable for a while, but the others also laughed at her one by one, no matter how thick her face was, she couldn't resist the shame, and ran away with her head down.
After everyone didn't say anything, the village chief said: "I will consider the candidate, I know how everyone usually behaves in the village, the selected person is paid five cents each, and the unselected one will have a chance to perform well in the future, so many years, everyone knows that I have always been fair, if you have an opinion, you can mention it now, if you dare to chew the root of your tongue behind your back, see if I don't clean him up!" ”
The village chief's face was very stern when he said this, and the people in the village were treated obediently, it seems that the village chief has some ability, otherwise he would not be able to manage such a large village.
Everyone decided on the place they chose, and directly paid half a year's rent to the village chief, who knew that they were in a hurry to stay, and immediately arranged for a few people who were usually honest and responsible to start cleaning and repairing.
Then, the rest of the group followed to see the homestead.
The first thing to look at was a small piece of five-cent land, and several families decided to build a few adobe thatched huts to live in first, and then think of other ways when they had money later.
This requires a lot of thatch, plus they are about to build a grass shed at night, the village chief thought of He Jiuniang's previous entrustment, and said to the villagers: "Anyone who has dry thatch can sell it to the Lu family, they need a lot of thatch." ”
Someone immediately asked, "How much can it be sold for?" If it's too low, we don't want to! ”
The village chief subconsciously looked at He Jiuniang, and He Jiuniang said with a smile: "Just according to everyone's usual price, we won't let everyone suffer." ”
With this sentence, the village chief said: "Well, the price of dry thatch is two pennies a bundle on weekdays, so sell it at this price, and you can take as much as you have in your family!" ”
After all, the roof needs to be repaired at any time, or it is also needed to start a fire, so every family has a surplus, and now I heard them say that they want to buy it, and they don't watch and eat melons one by one, and they run home to get thatch in exchange for money.
Originally, everyone didn't welcome them, but seeing that they made so much money in the village as soon as they came, everyone suddenly didn't care about those, this is the first time to see the new villagers who didn't fight for the land, this kind of person is rare, if you change someone else, maybe how bad it is!
So, without the Lu family knowing, their impression in the hearts of the people of Anping Village has improved a lot.
When they finally saw that Old Man Lu's family had bought a two-acre homestead, everyone's eyes lit up a little, it turned out that they were really rich and bought two acres of land casually.
Just when Old Man Lu was hesitating whether to build a thatched house with everyone, He Jiuniang pulled Sun and the two sisters-in-law to the side to speak: "Mother, in my opinion, since it is to build a house, let's build a brick house directly in one step, anyway, now I have money in hand, build a few more houses." After all, there are many children in the family, and they can also say that they will be close in a few years, and it is necessary to have one room for one person. ”
Yu and Qin's eyes widened, they thought the same way, but they didn't dare to express their opinions, for fear that Sun would get angry.
Sure enough, in the next second, the Sun family was about to hit He Jiuniang's arm, He Jiuniang had already prepared to dodge, and before Sun could scold, she continued: "This is what I have thought about again and again, first of all, we have to live in Anping Village permanently, if we don't want to be bullied by the indigenous villagers, our family must properly expose their wealth, let them know that our family has a family background, and it is not easy to bully."
Secondly, it is indeed a matter of a few children, there are so many children in the family now, the two sisters-in-law are still young, and the little sister's family also lives with us, there are many people, maybe in two years you and your father will have a bunch of fat grandchildren, if you don't cover it now, you will definitely have to toss it in the future.
Finally, no matter what, you have to set aside two rooms in your home, so if you have guests in the future, you can have a room to stay in, right? ”
Sun listened to her carefully, and when she saw that she personally said that she would let Lu Guilan's family live with them, she couldn't help but ask: "Don't you mind if the married sister-in-law lives in her mother's house with a large family?" ”
Her original intention was to lend some money to Lu Guilan and them, and also buy five points of land to build a house to live in, but she wanted to wait for the evening to ask everyone's opinions about borrowing money, but she didn't expect He Jiuniang to speak first.
"What's there to mind about this? The little sister is the daughter of the mother and the father, her mother-in-law's family is bad again, the two young couples still don't understand anything, they need elders like their mother to operate, and living with us is the best, of course, this is just what I mean, and I have to ask the little sister if they are willing, if not, we will give them money to build a house by themselves. ”
He Jiuniang smiled indifferently, Lu Guilan's family was easy to get along with, and she naturally liked to associate with them.
Sun looked at the other two daughters-in-law and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Yu and Qin hurriedly said: "What the third brother and sister said is also what we think in our hearts!" ”
Seeing that they got along so well, Sun's heart was also happy, they all came out of her belly, of course she also felt sorry for her only daughter, if she could live with her, she would naturally be happy in her heart.
So, Sun nodded, and pulled Lu Guilan and Daniel Zhang's daughter-in-law Shen to the other side to ask what they meant.
Sun first told He Jiuniang's thoughts and asked them if they were willing, Lu Guilan and Shen were shocked.
"That's what the sisters-in-law said?"
Lu Guilan couldn't help but speak, and Sun glared at her angrily: "Can your wife still lie to you?" ”
"Then you still have to ask my father and the eldest brother and second brother for their opinions, right?"
Lu Guilan was very moved, but she still resisted to ask.
"What do they dare to say?"
Sun was very dissatisfied and glared at her again, didn't the girl know that she was the one in charge?
The old man is her man, and the eldest and second are her sons, and she can't clean it up?
