Chapter 182 That’s because I have no money…
Zeng Youcai deserves it no matter what. If you dare to harm others, you must bear the consequences. Whatever the outcome is, it is his own fault.
Cheng Yue would not have any extra emotions. Chen An thought for a moment and said, "Zeng Youcai has always been a bully. Now that he has hit a snag here, it must be hard for him to swallow. He must be looking for someone to vent his anger on."
That's for sure! Cheng Yue sneered, "You don't have to think about it, who will he go to? In that case, we don't have to take action against Chen Ping. Zeng Youcai is still very angry and has nowhere to vent!"
This family is so evil-hearted, so just let them deal with it internally. No matter how miserable Chen Ping or Chen Xianghua were, they deserved it.
Chen An naturally understood that the only bit of compassion in his heart had disappeared completely when their family plotted against his daughter, so no matter what they had to face or what the outcome was, he would not care.
Cheng Yue collected the three hundred taels of silver, gave some instructions to Chen Lin and the others, and then went home with Chen An.
When passing through the town, I went to see Master Ji and told him about the auspicious day for starting the work. Master Ji nodded in agreement and said that half of the drawings had been completed and the bricks and tiles could be delivered to the village tomorrow, so there would definitely be no delay.
After the two men finished explaining the things, they went and bought a lot of pork, tofu, corn grits, brown rice and other grains and put them in the space, waiting to start cooking.
They usually eat refined rice and white flour, and the supervisors are definitely not allowed to eat these, as it would be eye-catching. There is no need for her to make herself stand out.
In comparison, refined rice mixed with whole grains is already good, at least the most suitable.
After buying things, the two went home. When they passed the village, they happened to meet Aunt Zhou and Aunt Li.
Cheng Yuedao also mentioned the starting date and asked them to inform each other.
Now that the date has been set, Aunt Zhou is extremely happy.
He immediately responded, "Okay, okay! I'll go tell everyone right away!"
Her two sons were originally planning to go to the town to do odd jobs during the slack season, but they didn't expect Cheng Yue to build a house. This job paid well, had little work, and was close to home, so who would go out to do odd jobs?
Aunt Li felt a little regretful. If she had known, she would have let Heidan leave a few days later. He missed the time!
However, her Xiaobai was chosen by Chen An to be an apprentice, which was the best thing. If she missed this opportunity, she would have missed it.
Then he also said happily: "I'm going too, Sister Zhou, wait for me!"
The two of them ran around shouting and passing on the message, and for a moment the whole village was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
"I thought we would have to wait a long time! I didn't expect it to start in just three to five days!"
"Yeah! Chen An and Cheng Yue are efficient at their work! We can get our wages sooner!"
Cheng Yue is recruiting a lot of workers this time, and most families in the village have selected a laborer. It would be strange if they were not excited to be able to make money at their doorstep.
The next morning, all the bricks and tiles were delivered. Because there were so many, four ox carts were sent to deliver them. The villagers had never seen such a big scene, and they all came to watch the fun.
Among them, the village head was the most active and ran the fastest.
After Cheng Yue and the others finished counting and the deliveryman left, the village head stepped forward and touched the bricks and tiles lovingly, saying, "These are really well made. No wonder everyone wants to live in a brick house. It will look so grand when it is built!"
He didn't even dare to imagine a courtyard with two entrances, let alone what it would look like when built.
The only people in the surrounding area who could build such a magnificent house were from Houshui Village, and they were quite proud of it.
Feng laughed at him, "You don't understand, how can you tell whether something is cooked well or not!"
The headman glared at him and said, "Hey! You must have seen a pig run before you have eaten pork. I must have seen it, otherwise I would not be talking nonsense!"
Cheng Yue and Chen An couldn't help laughing, "The village head said it was cooked well, so it must be cooked well!"
The village chief stood with his hands behind his back, looking very proud. Feng said, "He's like an old child!"
"Oh my god! With so many bricks and tiles, how big are you going to build?"
The surrounding villagers were already dumbfounded. They only knew that Cheng Yue had hired a lot of people and thought that she was in a hurry to move in. They didn't expect that she would buy so many bricks and tiles and fill up a large area of open space. How much money would it cost? !
Cheng Yue pointed and said, "The empty space next to the house is ready to be built. This house will be our ancestral home. When our children get married and we grow up, this is where we will all live."
The villagers followed Cheng Yue and looked in that direction. They couldn't help but gasp, "Oh my God! This is such a large piece of land!"
But when I heard Cheng Yue say that it was the ancestral home, for getting married and raising elderly people, it was understandable. By the time they had children and the population would grow, it would be comfortable to build a big house and live in it.
"That's great! If I had money, I would also like to build a big house. I can't even think of a brick house, but an adobe house will do."
Everyone was full of envy. They were poor. If they were rich, who wouldn't want to live in a big house? No one wanted to live in a crowded house.
Feng said, "Hey! There are so many stones. Since we are here, why don't we help pick them up!"
With that said, everyone started to move. "Come on, come on, let's get started now. Picking up stones doesn't count as starting work!"
Cheng Yue was confused. Everyone's minds were jumping around so much. They were just talking about building a house, but the next second they were all rushing over there to pick up stones.
It was so fast that she had no time to stop it.
Chen An held Cheng Yue and said, "If you want to help, just help. Let's not stop them. Just give them something and don't take advantage of them for nothing."
Cheng Yue wanted to say that this couldn't be stopped, so she could only reply: "Okay, then I'll go make some sugar water and bring out some snacks."
"Okay, then you go get it, I'll go pick up some rocks too."
Cheng Yue nodded and went into the kitchen, took out two large baskets and filled them with snacks. There was only so much space, and the snacks tasted amazing.
After thinking for a while, he took out a pile of big steamed buns and picked up stones while squatting and squatting. The open space was not small, so it would take a while to get tired. It was just the right time for everyone to replenish sugar and carbohydrates.
When everyone finished picking up stones and were about to go home, they saw Cheng Yue had already set up a table at the door. "Thank you, everyone. Take two steamed buns each and grab a handful of snacks to fill your stomach!"
Everyone looked at each other. Didn't they just drink the sugar water? Why are there white flour buns and snacks? They didn't help to take advantage!
However, Cheng Yue and Chen Anying stuffed the things into their hands. They were afraid of dropping them if they didn't hold them properly, so they could only hold them tightly.
The village head and Mrs. Feng were already used to Cheng Yue's style of doing things, so they didn't say anything this time. They happily took their things and went home.
There is still a lot of time, there are plenty of opportunities for you to help me and I to help you!
