Chapter 38
Yuan Qiu's heart was like a mirror, the chief of the village treated her like this, obviously because he heard that Master Chen was going to be her backer, so he flattered and flattered her.
Yuan Qiu explained the purpose of coming, and without further ado, the head of the village immediately promised to help her complete the relevant procedures of the land deed as soon as possible, and strive to help her complete the procedures within three days and deliver it to her home in person.
Yuan Qiu paid one or two taels of money for the land, and took an extra five hundred cash as a thank you gift. The village chief gave way several times. Seeing Yuan Qiu's determination, he accepted it with a smile on his face. Xin Dao is really a sensible person. child.
After negotiating the land, Yuan Qiu drew a sketch of the new house with straw paper and charcoal as soon as he returned home. He took the sketch to find Uncle Zhang and asked him to help find someone. She built a new house according to the drawing. Brick and tile houses require three bedrooms and one living room, large windows, and high walls to enclose the original fenced yard.
Everyone knows that she got a hundred taels of silver from the county master, which is a huge sum of money. With money, it is normal to build a new house, but I didn't expect her to be so generous. Mud houses, other people's houses are mostly thatched houses, but Xia Yuanqiu's move turned out to be brick houses, which was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.
This matter quickly spread throughout Xipo Village. Some people were envious, others were jealous, and some were so angry that they cursed, such as Xia Tieniu's family.
They were planning to use some reason to snatch the one hundred taels of silver in Xia Yuanqiu's hands. Before they could make up their mind, the news came that Xia Yuanqiu was going to build a new house, and they also wanted to build a brick and tile house. How much is one hundred taels left?
Xia Yuanling was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Mom, none of us live in a brick house, why should she live?"
Yesterday, Xia Yuanqiu didn't give her the face of the eldest aunt in front of the villagers, and her words were full of sarcasm, which made her lose face. She was so angry that she didn't sleep all night, and she spent the whole night thinking about how to restore it. Face, and the one hundred taels of silver note in Xia Yuanqiu's hand.
Xia Tieniu glared at Mrs. Lin angrily, and said angrily, "I've heard it all, and it's all because of you, a woman who doesn't know what to say, and said in front of the official that she wanted to sever ties with Xia Yuanqiu, if you didn't say that first Now, isn't it only natural for us to help her manage money in the name of elders?"
Lin's heart is also regretful, how could she know that the official came to send money? He also said that this dead girl caused some trouble in the town, so she said so because she was afraid of hurting her family.
Mrs. Lin glanced at the thatched hut in her own home, and immediately thought about it, and hurriedly said to Xia Yuansong: "Yuan Song, hurry up, go with your father and lift the roof off."
Xia Tie stared at Niu Niu, bulging his eyes and said: "You mother-in-law, if you say a few words about you, you still want to lift the roof?"
Seeing that her husband was angry, Mrs. Lin quickly explained: "Why are you so anxious? I'm not doing this for the good of our family. Think about it, why did this damn girl rebuild the house? It's not that her house is too dilapidated. Now we The roof of the house is also broken, so we have to rebuild the house, right? You don’t have to ask for money to build a house? We are her elders. She is ashamed to see us live in a dilapidated house, but she herself lives in a brick house? She can’t give us some money. Do you want to rebuild the house?"
When Xia Yuanling heard it, her eyes lit up immediately, she gave her a thumbs up, and praised: "Mother, your trick is really wonderful, but mother, how much do you want her to give us to build a house?"
