The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 106 Prelude to Building a House

Early the next morning, Zhao Yunlan slept late, and when she woke up, Li Mingmei had already prepared breakfast, and Xiao Bao got up and followed Li Mingren to recite a short section of the three-character scripture.

Last night Zhao Yunlan thought over and over for a while about buying someone. In this feudal environment, the only way to gain the trust of both parties is to sell their lives.

Zhao Yunlan shook her head, let it be, if she reacts too much, she will cause trouble for herself. Today, I will first find the person who built the house, and then let Li Mingren draw up the design of the house. I have to go to the town to find Some professional craftsmen will do it.The more Zhao Yunlan thinks about it, the more excited she is, that she can live in a spacious and bright house this winter!

When Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren were chatting before, they inadvertently talked about what kind of house they wanted to live in. Li Mingren himself had quietly drawn drawings and kept improving them. When Zhao Yunlan found Li Mingren, Li Mingren directly turned out the drawings and gave them to Zhao Yun. Lan looked, Zhao Yunlan was a little surprised, this painting was the house she wanted, Zhao Yunlan looked at it carefully, raised her head and gave Li Mingren a kiss, turned around and went out.

Li Mingren is now more and more able to adapt to Zhao Yunlan's intimate actions from time to time, and he will be excited for a long time at first, but now he only keeps this excitement in his heart.

Zhao Yunlan went to the town to find a craftsman to look at the blueprint. After reading it, the craftsman discussed with Zhao Yunlan some places that needed to be revised. After all, the blueprint was too idealized. In fact, there was no way to achieve the effect on the blueprint when it was built. Zhao Yunlan He is also a person who can listen to opinions. The craftsman discussed with Zhao Yunlan from a professional point of view, and Zhao Yunlan was also very satisfied with this.

Craftsman Zhang brought eight people with him. Zhao Yunlan was very happy. The more professional people there were, the better. There is wood to be used, and this time there is a lot of wood to be used, and the wood left at home must not be enough. Zhao Yunlan rushed back to Lijia Village after finishing these.

Li Mingli has already hired people in the village, Zhao Yunlan feels that it is appropriate, and now everyone in the Li family is growing.

Li Mingmei came over with the cash box and ledger to Zhao Yunlan. This was Zhao Yunlan’s family’s income when she went to Fucheng. Zhao Yunlan took it with a smile, and briefly checked the ledger. Li Mingmei did a good job, and the ledger was clear. Zhao Yunlan praised Li Mingmei straight away, and Li Mingmei was happy that she was able to help the family by herself.

Zhao Yunlan calculated the money. The shop that he bought in Fucheng went through the public account of the Li family, and now the house he built also had to go through the public account of the Li family. After coming out, the shops in Fucheng will be reserved for repairs, and all the remaining money will be spent on building houses.

Zhao Yunlan thought for a while, and allocated a part of the money from her own account book to build the house. Zhao Yunlan thought that she had more requirements for this house, so she could pay some money by herself, so that the public can still save some money to support the family. life.

Zhao Yunlan went to talk to Wang about the cost of building the house. It happened that Li Mingmei was listening by the side, and also took out part of her private house. Wang didn't want Zhao Yunlan to take out the money, and spent as much as the family had. Just build a house, there is no reason to use the daughter-in-law's private money to build a house.

But Li Mingmei also came to meddle. The two sisters-in-law were chatting and laughing, but Wang couldn't get in the conversation at all.

Zhao Yunlan: "Little sister, you can make up your own mind about your house, tell Craftsman Zhang what you want, and you can change it!"

Li Mingmei: "Sister-in-law, brother's drawing is already very good, sister-in-law's idea is very good, I have nothing to change!"

Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, you are paying the money yourself now. Be bold. No matter where you marry in the future, the house will always be reserved for you, so you should live comfortably in this house."

When Li Mingmei heard about getting married, she smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law, you're making fun of me again."

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "I didn't make fun of you, if you don't believe me, you can ask your mother."

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at the two and said, "Meizi, go and call your brother and the others over."

Li Mingmei responded with a "hey" and went out to call for someone.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Wang Shi, and looked at Wang Shi with puzzled eyes on her face.

Wang couldn't stand being stared at by Zhao Yunlan, and said, "I won't stop you if you want to pay, but I can't just let you and Meizi pay, this house is built for everyone to live together."

Zhao Yunlan pondered for a while, then nodded with a smile, "Everything depends on mother's arrangement."

The Li Mingren brothers came to the upper room, and the old man Li also came together. Wang looked at the old man Li's eyes and said, "You came just in time. I forgot about you just now. Since you came, pay the money." Come out!"

Old man Li stared at him, thinking that he had agreed to allow him to save his private money, why did he change his mind again.Old man Li pursed his lips and did not speak. He sat far away from the Wang family.

Mrs. Wang saw that old man Li was so angry and funny, so she slowly talked about building the house, and everyone knew that Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingmei were going to use their private money to build the house.

Wang continued: "You father should set an example and pay the money."

Old man Li took out a few small pieces of silver from his shoes in pain, Li Mingzhi covered his nose and said with a look of disgust, "Father, even if you don't think it smells bad, you don't think it hurts your feet."

Old man Li looked at Li Mingzhi angrily and said, "Hurry up and get the money out."

Li Mingzhi smiled: "Mom, I have already prepared the money. I have 35 taels of silver here. I will save five taels to buy paper and pens. The rest will be used to build a house for my family."

Li Mingli also took out 30 taels. During this time, he made a lot of money farming with Zhao Yunlan, but he also invested a lot in it.

Li Mingyi spent a lot of money when he was hired before, but now he can only spend 30 taels of silver.

Li Mingren watched his younger brothers take out the money before he took out 50 taels of silver from his pocket.Zhao Yunlan asked in surprise after seeing it: "Where did you get so much money?"

Li Mingren touched the back of his head and smiled: "A wealthy businessman in Fucheng forced it to me."

Wang worried: "Is it okay for you to take other people's money like this?"

Li Mingren waved his hand: "Mother, don't worry, it's not just me, those who rank higher get more."

Zhao Yunlan saw that there were more than 100 taels of silver on the table, so she returned the money of the second, third, and fourth children by ten taels each.

"I don't need so much money, the business will give some more, 20 taels of silver is enough for one person, my younger sister and I will also contribute 20 taels, and the rest will be paid by the business, and daddy's money will be taken back!"

Old man Li quickly put away the money, Mrs. Wang coughed, old man Li put half of it back, and said seriously: "I'll pay some too."

Li Mingren saw that everyone had refunded the money, but he boldly asked, "Then, am I..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Yunlan replied: "You are a big brother, and now you are a scholar. If you have the ability, you should pay more for this family! You can use all the 50 taels to build a house."

Li Mingren nodded silently.
