Chapter 72
It turned out that Chen Zhixian stuffed the consultation money he wanted to pay her into a snack box, and he was not afraid that the snack box would be lost on the way.
For a county magistrate, two hundred taels of silver may not be a big deal, but for a valley like Xipo Village, two hundred taels is definitely an astronomical figure.
Some people may not be able to earn two hundred taels of silver all their lives, let alone see and touch it.
Yuan Hao recognized that it was a bank note, and seeing someone walking in front of him, he pressed down Yuan Qiu's hand holding the bank note, and said in a low voice, "Sister, put it away quickly."
Yuan Qiu just woke up like a dream, and hastily folded the two bank notes and stuffed them into his bosom. Xiaopang ate his snacks with all his heart, ignoring Yuan Qiu and his brother and what the two pieces of paper were. He was driving ahead without even turning his head, so naturally he didn't know what happened.
Back in the hut, Yuan Hao saw no one was around, so he handed over to Yuan Qiu the thirty taels of silver bills he kept close to him and the bag of broken silver that Yuan Qiu gave him yesterday.
"Sister, we are rich now, why don't we move to the town to live, don't we want to open a medicated restaurant with Boss Xu? We might as well buy a house in the town." Yuan Hao said what he had been thinking about all morning. He came out, not because of anything else, but because he didn't want Liu Wenxuan to pester his sister again, he was afraid that his sister would be soft-hearted and would accept Liu Wenxuan, a man with a human face and a beast heart again.
Yuan Qiu smiled slightly: "Silly boy, do you think you can live and work in the town with this little money in our hands?"
Yuan Hao was puzzled: "Why is this not possible? I heard that Uncle San bought a house in the town and spent more than one hundred taels of silver. Now we have more than three hundred taels of silver."
Yuan Qiu shook his head, reached out and tapped his nose, and said helplessly: "You, you are really a child at heart. Do you think that living in the town is as long as you can buy a house? Your third uncle bought a house in the town. That's because he has a good job and has a fixed income every month. Even if he buys a house and spends all his savings, he doesn't have to worry about food, but what about us? The Medicinal Food Building is just an unknown number, whether it can make money is still a matter of course, if it doesn’t open in the future, or closes down due to something, then what shall we do?”
Yuan Hao frowned and his face was gloomy. He didn't think about such a long term, he just wanted to leave Xipo Village as soon as possible, get rid of the harassment from his uncle's family, and stay away from Liu Wenxuan, a shameless person.
Seeing Yuan Hao's appearance, Yuan Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Silly boy, what's there to be depressed about, we just can't go to town for the time being, it doesn't mean we won't go in the future, you just wait , my sister will definitely buy you a big house, and buy many maids and servants, and let you take care of them as a young master, okay?"
Yuan Hao was amused by Yuan Qiu, the siblings laughed together, and the original gloomy mood was swept away.
Yuanqiu’s house was erected very quickly, with more than 20 people working at the same time. It took only two days to build the walls and half a day to build the tiles. The next step was to build the fence. The two-meter-high walls were all built with blue bricks. This is a big deal, Liu Si said, and only rich people in the city would build houses like this.
It took two days to build the fence, and Yuan Qiu invited many aunts in the village to help clean it, each with ten copper coins.
The aunts rushed to sign up, and they could get ten copper coins just for cleaning. For them, this was a fortune that fell from the sky, and they could earn money with a little effort.
