Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 104 House Work
"There are two vacant houses here. They were originally intended for a clansman to live in, but some troubles happened later, so the whole family moved out. They only lived in it for a few months, and the back has been vacant."

"It was just repaired a few years ago, but it looks a little dilapidated after being empty for a long time. If it is repaired properly, it will not be bad."

"Xu Da, what do you think?" Mrs. Xu asked warmly, pointing to the two houses on the bank of the river that were independent of the village.

The two houses are next to each other, the thatch on the roof has been almost destroyed, it looks a bit old.

But the house is spacious, and there are two big trees separating the two houses. There is a dam in front of the door, facing the river in front, and the hills on the side, surrounded by the whole small village in the middle.

There is a spacious loess road between the village and the houses, which is convenient for walking in and out.

The most important thing is that the house is surrounded by walls and built quite high. Once the gate and back door are closed, the things inside the house cannot be seen from the outside.

Xu Da walked in and looked again. With the Hejian slum in front of him, the two houses in front of him were not too solid.

If the roof is broken, it will be good to rebuild it. The most important furniture in the house, such as the stove and table, is complete, and the house is built with rammed adobe. The walls are smooth and delicate, strong and wind-resistant.

Although it is not as good as my aunt's house, which is covered with wooden floors and covered with ground dragons, it is much better than the small and dark adobe houses of the surrounding tenants.

Xu Da became more and more satisfied as he looked at it. He calculated the remaining money in his hand, but he didn't know what to do. If such a good house was bought, it might not be cheap.

When faced with the inquiries from his aunt and aunt, Xu Dashi showed a somewhat embarrassed look, and asked in a low voice:
"Then how much will it cost to buy these two houses?"

Xu Shi and Gongsun Yu looked at each other, and sighed together, as if Xu Da's reaction had been expected by them.

Gongsun Yu pondered for a moment, and said, "This is a house in the clan, and it's not for takeout, but your aunt is just you, a nephew, and now she has come here from a thousand miles away, so she is considered a family."

"I'll go talk to my second brother. I think it can be much cheaper, but it won't be less than this amount." Gongsun Yu raised a finger.

Xu Da tentatively asked, "Ten thousand?"

Gongsun Yu nodded, "The materials used for these two houses alone are more than [-]."

For the rest, he was going to pay for it out of his own pocket, but if Xu Da didn't even want to pay [-] yuan, or couldn't afford it, then he should change the house. These two houses have nothing to do with him.

Even if you live in it, you won't be able to prosper.

Seeing Gongsun Yu's expression and reply, Xu Da quickly guessed what the other party was thinking.

If he hadn't agreed to Wang's before, he might have agreed without hesitation. Anyway, face is not worth as much as actual benefits.

But now that he has said not to gnaw on the old, then he really can't gnaw!
Otherwise, who would believe what he said in the future?
"Master, tell me, how much do you want?" Xu Da asked.

Gongsun Yu only thought he was curious, and didn't have any expectations, and compared two fingers, "At least this number is the least."

Xu Da frowned, it's really expensive, but it's worth it!
Anyway, there is still Wang Dayou, the house of the two families, he can't get a share?
Xu Da thought about it in his heart, but Xu Shi didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing him frowning, he thought he was frightened by the number, and sighed helplessly:

"I think you have spent a lot of money along the way, if it is not enough, your aunt and I can help you pay half of it first."

"No, no, no, [-] is indeed not expensive, let's go now, I'll go back and get the cloth!"

Before Xu's words were finished, Xu Da rushed back to find his wife and children to get money.

The couple stood on the bank of the river, looking at each other, a little messy.

"Is this really promising?" Xu muttered to herself uncertainly.

Gongsun Yu stroked his beard, looked at the back of the young man in a hurry, and showed the first satisfied smile since the appearance of Xu Yue's family.

It's good to be promising, and save him ten thousand dollars.

"You said this morning that you were going to let him work as an accountant at the second brother's house. Did you feel a little wronged, my nephew?" Gongsun Yu asked seriously.

Xu was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, how could she not be happy that her natal nephew was recognized by her husband?
Gongsun Yu tentatively said: "I think your nephew is a bit interesting, why don't we talk to the second brother, let the second brother get him to the eldest brother, and find an errand in the county government with Ji Ming?"

Ji Ming is Gongsun An's cousin. After he got married, he relied on his family connections to get a job in Yuyang County. Although his salary was meager, he was respectable.

Of course Xu thought it was good, but she couldn't figure out whether her husband was on a whim and decided to come down-to-earth, so she refused for Xu Da.

She still said the same words to Xu Da last night, slightly changed the details, and said the same words to Gongsun Yu again.

"Let's take a look first. We don't know much about them yet. We just look at how we got along these two days. It's too careless. Even if we talk about it now, it's not easy for the two brothers to make arrangements."

Gongsun Yu thought about it, so the couple tacitly stopped mentioning this matter. The two returned home in a bullock cart, picked up Xu Da and Wang Dayou who had already taken the money, and went to buy a house from Gongsun Yan.

For [-] yuan, Xu Da gave the big head and Wang Dayou the small head. The Xu family took the big room, and Wang Dayou took the smaller one.

Thinking that he still had more than [-] yuan in his hand, Xu Da planned to buy two more lands.

However, buying land is not as easy as buying a house. Gongsun's family's land is not for sale, but for large tracts of land, not for retail sale. Even for the sake of the family, Gongsun Yan refused Xu Da's request.

The house is in Wubao, and the land cannot be bought far away. Xu Da and Wang Dayou looked at each other, and the two brothers had no choice but to give up the plan to buy the land for the time being.

Thinking that they still have skills, the two of them didn't panic when they had no land, and happily accepted the deed.

However, Gongsun Yu and his wife are really interesting. They took the opportunity to say that they would arrange work for Xu Da. Gongsun Yan thought about the carload of gifts he received yesterday. He promised to let Xu Da come to his house to be the accountant.

However, this accounting office is only in charge of the income and expenditure of the second-bedroom house, regardless of the property outside, and the wages paid are not as high as Gongsunyu and his wife thought. They only paid [-] yuan a month.

This is too stingy, send beggars away!
Thinking about the fact that he could earn two hundred dollars by cooking a kang, Xu Da suddenly felt an impulse to refuse the job.

However, his rationality told him that although the money for this errand was not much, there was a lot of room to play, and he silently suppressed the grief and anger in his heart.

However, through this incident, he can understand a little bit that the second family's direct line doesn't look down on the concubine's third family at all, and is always on guard against the other party stealing the house.

Even if the aunt's family had been separated long ago and she was still just a bastard, she would never forget the precautions she should have.
