More than ten days of busy autumn harvest passed.

After the autumn harvest, the fields are cleaned up, and the work in the fields is finished.

At this time, Father Lin's threshing machine business also came to an end, and Lin Qianqian took the opportunity to discuss with Lin Dashu: "Uncle Dashu, you can find some veterans in the village who build houses, the more the better, I bought a house in the county and want to expand it." ”

When Lin Dashu heard this, he naturally didn't agree.

During this time, the Lin family collected firewood, collected konjac, asked them to build houses, let them make water wheels, threshing machines, and all this happened, and the people in the village made a lot of money, especially those who were usually good with Lin Dashu.

Now everyone knows that as long as the Lin family has a job, it means that they can make money again.

Lin Dashu carefully selected more than a dozen young and strong laborers, and a group of people followed Lin Qian to the county.

When they saw the hundreds of acres of fields, they were all stunned.

Lin Qianqian took out the design plan of the house and talked to Lin Dashu in detail, and the more Lin Dashu listened, the more he felt that he was superficial.

At the end, he muttered: "Big girl, you are a big job, a dozen of us can't do it, no, I have to go back and find more people." ”

No wonder Lin Qianqian asked him to find as many people as possible, it turned out that the house that the Lin family wanted to build was so big, and it was still a big brick house, which was not at all comparable to the small thatched house.

It's that he thinks less!

Lin Qianqian smiled, and she didn't mean to blame, she knew that Uncle Da Shu definitely didn't expect the house they were going to build to be so big.

When she was designing a house, she had a whim and came up with a business comparable to konjac tofu——— tofu.

She had already carefully examined the market, and there was no such thing as tofu in this world.

There are many styles of tofu that can be made, such as soy milk, tofu flowers, tender tofu, fried tofu, dried fragrant, and bean curd........

There are so many styles, just take one out and sell it on the market, it's quite explosive stuff.

This world is too backward compared to the modern world.

Since their family started in the food business, they have been working hard in the food business since then, and the Lin family is not worried about being underdeveloped.

So, the house she envisioned was quite thoughtful.

The front row of doors is used for business, and the middle few large courtyards are used to make konjac tofu and tofu, and the quiet place in the backyard is the place to live.

It is located by the River Tay and is surrounded by their family's fields.

With so many fields, in addition to growing food, she can also develop a garden and build a tavern with a little bourgeoisie, which can definitely attract the rich people of Dachun County to patronize.

She had a lot of ideas, but only if she built the house first.

She pointed to the front of the drawings and said, "Uncle Big Tree, look at it, what I want to build now is this big house with three entrances, the sooner the completion time is better, you estimate how many people are appropriate." ”

Lin Dashu silently calculated and said: "I called all the people in the village who can build houses, and it should be completed in half a month." ”

This time is similar to what Lin Qian had envisioned.

The green bricks, wood and other materials needed to build a house were already prepared by Zhou Zixuan's introduction when everyone was busy with the autumn harvest.

When the materials are complete, as long as the labor is in place, the speed of building the house should be fast.

After Lin Dashu finished speaking, he went back to the village to shake people.

Lin Qianqian stayed in the county to watch the workers busy, and she immediately went to buy things that were needed.

For several days, Lin Qianqian was busy in the county, and only returned to the village with the villagers in the evening.

This morning, Lin Qianqian was just about to go out to the county, the second aunt walked into the Lin family's courtyard with her head down, and the second uncle and the three brothers and sisters of the Fang family followed behind dejectedly.

Lin Qianqian saw that their expressions were wrong, and she was about to step out of the courtyard gate, she frowned and asked her second aunt: "Second aunt, what's wrong?" ”

The tears of the second aunt instantly flowed down like money.

She cried: "Oh, it really killed me, you say that there is such a grandma in the world, your grandmother is crazy, she actually stole a few taels of silver that we had saved for a few months, and took it out to buy clothes and jade crowns for Fang Qingsong's bastard, and didn't leave us at all, how can Qingbai's marriage be done?" ..........”

The second aunt was crying and scolding, and everyone just listened to it.

Lin Qianqian asked the three brothers and sisters of the Fang family before he knew the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Fang Qingsong went home again yesterday to ask for money.

Although the Fang family has only finished harvesting in autumn, the grain has not yet been sold in the county, where is the silver for him?

Fang Qingsong knew from others that during this time, the two people in the second room were selling konjac tofu outside, and Fang Qingbai's three brothers and sisters also worked in the Lin family, and their monthly wages were a lot, so he instigated Mrs. Fang to search the room in the second room and secretly took the money away.

After the autumn harvest, the second uncle's family went to do business, and those who came to work in the Lin family came to work, and there was no one left at home to watch the door, and the silver that their family of five had worked hard to save these days was taken away by Mrs. Fang.

When the second aunt came home at night and habitually put up the day's income, she found that the family's money was gone, and she saw that the things in the house were turned into a mess, but none of them were lost, and she immediately knew that this was not a thief, this was a thief.

She ran to question Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Fang admitted without hesitation, and said that the money should have been given to Fang Qingsonghua.

"Qingsong will take the imperial examination next year, if he is in high school, what kind of daughter-in-law does Qingbai want to marry? What are you worried about? ”

The second aunt was so angry that she couldn't do it.

Fang Qingbai's marriage has been set for nearly a year, if it weren't for the drought this year and the shortage of money in the family, this marriage should have been done a long time ago.

Now that they finally have the silver, and the autumn harvest is over, she is about to discuss the marriage with the other party in the past few days, who would have thought that Mrs. Fang, who is shameless, would steal the silver while they were not at home.

Lin Qianqian sighed when he heard it.

In this era, although it is not easy to produce a scholar in the family, you can't use the flesh and blood of the whole family to pile up a scholar, let alone a reader with no conscience like Fang Qingsong.

Lin Qian stepped forward and said: "Second aunt, don't worry, how much silver does Cousin Qingbai need for the dowry, you can take it from me, and then talk about the marriage first." ”

The second aunt was immediately grateful, and then said indignantly: "Although I also feel sorry for money, but what I am most angry about is your grandmother, this kind of thing is not once or twice, she always takes care of the big house, when to take our second room as a person, such as yesterday's separation, she only gave us a few acres of thin fields, a house, woo woo, big girl, you don't know, last night our family of five was crammed into a room to sleep, they didn't give us the kitchen, we didn't even eat..... Woo woo, it's really too bullying......."

The more the second aunt talked, the more sad she became, and the second uncle, Fang Qingbai, Fang Qingmu, and Fang Qinghua also kept wiping their tears.

It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs! Lin Qianqian couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, so he had to slowly comfort the second uncle's family.

Aunt Lin heard that their family hadn't eaten, so she immediately went to cook.

Lin Qianqian saw that the second aunt was almost venting, and said: "Second aunt, if you think about it from another angle, in fact, this is also a good thing, at least you have broken up, and you don't have to give them the money your family earns in the future, they can't suck your flesh and blood even if they want to." ”

Fang Qingbai immediately echoed: "Dad, mother, the former cousin said well, we can make money every day, we don't have to give them money in the future, our life is definitely getting better and better, Fang Qingsong will be okay if he is admitted next year, in case he can't pass the exam, we have to continue to provide him with education, this day is completely useless." ”

"Even if he is admitted, in addition to getting the name of a jinshi, he can't make a lot of money immediately, and after he enters the officialdom, he still needs a lot of money to make points, he really needs money everywhere, it is a bottomless pit, you can provide for him, but has Cousin Qingbai's marriage been delayed like this? Don't you want your life? Lin Qianqian analyzed.

The more the second uncle's family listened, the more frightened they became!

They have worked hard for Fang Qingsong for so many years, not because they are unwilling, but it is really that Fang Qingsong is becoming more and more unlikely, living out of a white-eyed wolf, such a person, even if he is developed in the future, he must be an ungrateful person, and it is really not worth it for their family to give everything to such a person.

The second uncle immediately figured it out and comforted the second aunt: "Yulan, I've worked hard for you all these years, I will listen to you in the future, except for the New Year's festival gifts, I won't give my mother a penny, anyway, even if I give her the money, she will turn around and give Fang Qingsong that little bastard, let's do business well, live a good life, and in the future, we will also go to the county to buy a big house to live in, far away from their family." ”

The three brothers and sisters of the Fang family hurriedly echoed.

When it was time to eat, the second uncle's family finally calmed down.

The second aunt said to Lin Qianqian: "Qianqian, I thought about it, didn't you often go around the county during this time?" I don't know if you have seen a suitable house, we are the same as you, move to the county to live, forget it, there is only one house at home, I really can't squeeze it open, besides, I don't want to see the old woman at all. ”

Lin Qianqian nodded in agreement: "That's fine, you move to the county, it's convenient for you and your second uncle to do business, and it's easier for your cousin and them to go home, I'll help you pay attention to the right house." ”

"Yes, let's rent a house first, and then save money later." The second aunt was suddenly full of hope for the future.

As long as they are willing to work, they have hundreds of copper plates every day, and after many years, they can buy a house of their own in the county.
