Chapter 474: The Beautiful and Charming Young Husband (49)
Building a house in the countryside is a big deal. Moreover, Lin Jinyu's house is relatively large and the materials used are relatively good, which attracted a lot of attention for a while.

The point is, why did she come up with the money to build a house when no one saw her going to earn money? And it must be more than a hundred taels.

Many families who used to look down on her family for being poor suddenly felt a little regretful. If they had settled down with someone in the first place, wouldn't they be the ones enjoying the good life now?
From the moment she was able to afford to buy a wife, she should have known that not everyone has this kind of courage.

But who could have expected that someone who used to be lazy would become so hardworking now? They couldn't predict it, so they could only feel regretful.

However, most of the villagers are quite simple and honest. After learning that Lin Jinyu's family was going to build a house, they went over to help as soon as the other party invited them.

It is normal for people in the village to help each other, and it is also a kind of odd jobs to earn some pocket money. The odd jobs are usually a group of people who help build the house, while those who are responsible for cooking are not paid.

They brought their own unused pots to the open-air stove, and placed tables, chairs and benches that were not usually used nearby. There was only a bamboo shed to prevent it from getting wet when it rained.

On the ground nearby were the ingredients that Lin Jinyu had bought early in the morning. They were piled up on the ground, waiting for them to process.

It is estimated that it will take one month to build this house. After all, some of the decoration inside is more complicated and delicate, so it will take longer.

Those who were invited to help were all simple and honest people in the village who had never said anything bad about Lin Jinyu.

Only lunch is provided, but dinner is not. However, the wages are higher than the market price. Such a price makes the construction team members very satisfied.

In addition to going to the street to buy food early in the morning, Lin Jinyu would also help move things after returning. She was strong, and if there was nothing to do now, she could help finish the work early and save some wages.

Normally a house can be built in a few days, but hers is quite large and uses good materials, so it takes longer. It will probably take a long time to finish this month.

Lu Mingfei was helping pass things around the stove. He didn't know much, but there were few places where he could be used. He was the main employee, so he only needed to supervise, but he stepped forward to help.

For a time, he received constant praise.

"Jinyu is so lucky to marry you!"

"If only my boy were half as diligent as you, it would be easier for him to find a husband in the future."

"That's right, men should be more diligent, otherwise they will be despised by their in-laws in the future!"

Several people were discussing at once, and Lu Mingfei stood there awkwardly.

He knew that it was a compliment, not really sincere, but it sounded nice. He couldn't help but feel lucky that Lin Jinyu had arranged it well and didn't make him the topic of their conversation.

It seems that to them, a man’s laziness is the beginning of misfortune, and only when he is diligent can he live a happy life.

But he didn't think so.

Of course, he needs to be diligent, but if he works hard all the time, he will be the only one who suffers in the end. So when Lin Jinyu is working, he will also help her, just because he doesn't want her to feel unbalanced.

Giving to each other is the way for couples to get along with each other.

No matter how much we talked, the food in the pot never stopped cooking, and we kept frying it, trying to get it ready before dinner time. The fire under the stove never stopped burning, and someone brought firewood from the mountain.

Everyone was doing their job, and every position was occupied, which looked harmonious. After a busy morning, the food was ready at lunchtime.

Several tables were placed under the eaves, with six dishes and one soup on the table. Ten people sat at each table, and almost everyone could finish the meal. Since it was not a banquet, there was no need for too many dishes.

When the subsequent move comes, a banquet will be held, and there will be ten dishes, which symbolizes perfection.

Each dish is large and filling, ensuring that these people have full bellies.

But the rice was made of brown rice, not refined grain, but it was pretty good. Whole grains are whole grains, at least they are dry, just not that soft.

After seeing the food, many people who had previously used the excuse of having work to do at home wanted to come back to help. Such a sumptuous lunch is something you may not be able to have even during the Chinese New Year.

Lin Jinyu was not hypocritical. As long as they worked hard, she would pay them. If they came here to just hang out and get paid, she would look at them coldly and not pay them a penny afterwards.

Anyway, they didn't sign any contract, and there was no labor law. If she was a little more vicious, she wouldn't be so generous with the food expenses.

Those who had been enjoying themselves for the whole morning were stopped when they thought they could eat to their heart's content at noon.

"You can't eat without working. The food in my house is not for freeloaders." She looked at them with a sneer, and she could see the cunning in their eyes clearly.

Want to make her a victim? No way!

Several people wanted to refute her, but seeing her expression, the words stuck in their throats and they couldn't say them. They couldn't help but think of the day when a few hooligans from the next village left with bruised faces.

Originally, they were not in the right in this matter. If they quarreled, I guess everyone else would side with Lin Jinyu. Besides, they really didn't do any work in the morning, they just came here to eat.

After a moment of embarrassment, they pretended to look disdainful and left angrily.

"Who cares about your family's food, huh!"

Because I was full, I had more energy to work, and the work that was originally expected to take a month could be completed in less time.

Raising the beam is a big event. You have to find a respected elder in the village to calculate an auspicious day, and you can only do it when the time is right.

On the day of raising the beam, all the children in the village came. They basically had a small basket in their hands, which was empty, probably ready to put something in it.

It won't take long to figure out why they carry baskets.

After the beams are put up, someone will sit on them and test their safety while scattering snacks on the ground, such as peanuts, sugar, and red dates, with some copper coins mixed in.

The people below use baskets to catch the water. Although it is a bit messy, it is actually very joyful and lively.

In this way, with everyone's help, the house was finally built after 25 days.

Lin Jinyu shook the drawings in her hand, and prepared to renovate the empty spaces.
