Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1396 Lazy Wife 13
Because no one dared to believe that Chen's father and mother would divide the money equally among them, the three brothers would do nothing, resulting in few people looking for Chen's father and son to work. As a result, even if they had skills, they could only farm and it was difficult for them to earn much money as workers.

However, outsiders do not know the situation of the Chen family. Although they know that no one asks the Chen family to work, at least their relatives will ask them to work. After all, they are relatives. Asking others to work will cause conflicts.

In this way, outsiders felt that even if the Chen family was poor, they should have some assets, so it was normal for them to build a house now. Therefore, no one suspected that the Chen family had recently found a way to make money and became rich, so they built a house.

They didn't know yet that the Chen family's money was basically divided among the three sons as dowries, and after that, Chen's father didn't have much money left.

Of course, even if there is not much money, the original body has been married for many years. When the original body came into the family, Chen's father had no money. Four or five years have passed, and it is still the era of reform and opening up, and it is easier to make money than before, so naturally he has saved some money. Although he gave Linlang 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, he still has 300 yuan in his hand. After all, the whole family is working, and after deducting expenses, 100 yuan a year can always be saved. In four or five years, 400 to 500 yuan has been saved, and 200 yuan was given to Linlang, so Chen's father still has 300 yuan in his hand.

Then during this period, Chen's father and mother made some money from stringing beads, and they asked their three sons to each contribute 100 yuan, and the house could be built. He and Chen's mother could earn the remaining money in the near future.

None of the three sons had much money. After all, the betrothal money belonged to the daughter-in-law, and he, as a father-in-law, was always embarrassed to ask for it. He had taken all the other money before, so the sons had no money on hand.

But isn't this stringing beads? Now all three families have money. After all, the money earned from stringing beads is not the bride price, but their family's money. In this way, when they have enough, they can give it to him to build a house.

One hundred yuan is not a difficult thing. For a big house, one can save one hundred yuan in two months. For a second house with fewer people, one can save it in three months. For a third house, it can be done in four months. However, it will take a long time to build the house, so we can use his money first - in fact, it should not be called his money, but everyone's money. After all, the money in his hands was earned by everyone together.

After the land was allocated, Chen's father took his three sons and started laying the foundation and building the house when there was no farm work.

The four of them, father and son, had done this before, so it was naturally not difficult.

It was just after the autumn harvest and there was not much farm work to do in the fields, so it was a good time for them to build a house.

The four father and his sons worked together. This time, they were working for their own family, so naturally no one was slacking off. After all, everyone wanted to finish building the house as soon as possible and move into the spacious and bright tiled house.

Since no one was slacking off, the house was built naturally very quickly. In addition, the women in the family would sometimes help out, so by the time the New Year came, the house was almost completed.

After all, their house was not like the two-story Western-style building that was built later, which required time-consuming processes such as scraping putty. For their large tiled house, after building the body of the house, they just had to apply some lime, which was very quick, so it took only a few months and was completed before the New Year, which was normal.

While they were building the house, the women in the family were still stringing beads, and they could help in the evening. So while they were building the house, it did not delay the Chen family from making money. As a result, everyone earned a few hundred yuan in the past few months. This made them very satisfied with Linlang's decision to choose another place to build the house. After all, if they built the house on the original foundation, it would be much more troublesome for them to string beads. After all, after the old house was demolished, the whole family would definitely gather in a small place and squeeze together. In this way, there would be no place to put the materials for stringing the beads.

Moreover, it would be uncomfortable for a large family to live in a small place. It would be better to build a house on a new site without affecting their lives. The Chen family also deliberately accelerated the progress so that they could move into the new house before the New Year. After all, the New Year is a big event, and they can entertain relatives and friends. If they can't move into the new house this year, they will have to wait until next year, which will delay it for a year. How can this be possible? Therefore, the Chen family father and son went all out and finally got the house completed before the New Year.

Because the family had more and more money, they had not planned to pour cement on the floor before. But now that they had money, everyone unanimously decided to pour cement on the floor of the main room, so that when guests came and entertained guests in the main room, it would look better.

There were four rooms left, one for Chen's father and one for his three sons.

Houses built in the countryside are large, so even though it is just one room, you can add a partition to divide it into two rooms. In this way, several people in a family can sleep in two rooms. After all, the children are still young and can sleep in two rooms.

As for whether to pour cement on the other four rooms, Father Chen let everyone decide for themselves. Whoever had the money could pour cement on the house. Anyway, they had the money for stringing beads in their hands now, so they could decorate the house however they wanted.

——Speaking of which, the family made so much money that Chen's father was extremely greedy. He really wanted to collect the money from each family and put it in his hands. Then he could earn several hundred yuan a month, how great it would be. But Linlang said that she would not give him the money from her bead stringing. That was the money his daughter-in-law earned from handicrafts, not his son. It was not easy for him to snatch his daughter-in-law's money. What's more, several other families also stood on Linlang's side this time, so he couldn't order each family to hand over the money.

There is no way. Usually when people talk about dividing the family, the first and second wives will not stand with the third wife because it is beneficial to the first and second wives not to divide the family.

But this time, the income from stringing beads has to be collected, which will not benefit the families. After all, the first and second wives have more people and earn more than the third wife. If the income is collected, won’t they suffer losses?
When the three families refused to hand over the money, Chen's father lost his voice in the family, and it was useless even if he coveted it.

As for pouring cement, the families of the eldest and second brothers Chen wanted to save some money and didn't plan to pour cement, but Linlang wanted to pour cement because if they didn't pour it, the mud floor would always feel unclean when they cleaned it, so their third room planned to make a cement floor.

Pouring cement didn't cost much money. Chen Lei got some cement back. He knew how to do masonry, so he finished pouring it in less than a day.

I have to say, being close to a main road is good. If you build a house on an old foundation and want to pour cement, you have to transport it back from the main road. It would be very tiring to carry it manually along such a long country dirt road.

Now it is close to the main road, not far away from the main road. Although it is still carried out manually, it is not difficult because the road is very close. It is much better.

Otherwise, why do people say that if you want to get rich, build roads first? With roads, everything will be convenient.

Everyone discovered this convenience when they were transporting bricks and tiles back.
