Who would marry into the family after being reborn?.

Chapter 30: The work is not in vain, earn money and gain reputation

In fact, Yang Qiaoqiao helped Wu Wei with housework.

When Qiao Yuyan heard this, her heart skipped a beat, but it soon passed.

It’s not because she doesn’t have Wu Wei in her heart.

But rumors about the two of them were already flying everywhere in the village.

Helping with small chores is really nothing.

In comparison, Qiao Yuyan felt more sympathy for Yang Qiaoqiao.

So much so that during dinner, he angrily said, "Dad, Mom, do you know why Xiao Wei's wife has to work as a laborer to earn money?"

Mother Cheng Yuejuan immediately thought: "Yes, the Xiao family has always been well off, not to mention the 300 yuan that Widow Qin just compensated them, so they don't need the money from doing odd jobs."

Mr. Qiao Wu took a sip of his wine happily and didn't say anything.

Qiao Yuyan picked up the bottle, filled it for her father and said, "I heard that Xiao Decai didn't allow her to remarry. He said that if she wanted to remarry, she had to make up the betrothal gift by 500 yuan."

The two Qiao Wuye glared at each other and said, "Isn't this extortion? Xiao Decai is really unkind. Why is he asking for a replacement betrothal gift?"

Cheng Yuejuan knew everything about this: "Have you forgotten? The Xiao family and the Yang family exchanged marriages in the beginning. Now Xiao Wei is gone, and Xiao Decai has nothing. He lost his daughter and his son. Isn't it time to ask someone to make up for the betrothal gift?"

"But then again," Cheng Yuejuan paused and continued, "this money should either be asked from his daughter-in-law's son-in-law or from his daughter-in-law's future husband's family. How can we make things difficult for our daughter-in-law?"

Hearing this, Master Qiao Wu immediately understood: "Xiao Decai, this dishonest old man, has not held back his fart!"

After saying this, he picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Another three coins were swallowed.

Seeing this, Qiao Yuyan quickly picked up the bottle and continued to talk to her father, "Dad, what exactly does Xiao Decai want to do? Don't keep us in suspense, Dad!"

Master Qiao Wu said helplessly: "Xiao Decai only has one son, Xiao Wei. Now that his son is gone, his daughter-in-law is going to remarry. Doesn't this mean that the Xiao family will be extinct? Xiao Decai wants the 500 yuan betrothal gift not as a goal but as a means. In the final analysis, he wants to keep his daughter-in-law!"

Qiao Yuyan pondered, "But it's useless to keep Yang Qiaoqiao. The Xiao family will still be extinct. Could it be that they are counting on Yang Qiaoqiao to find a man to marry into the family?"

When Qiao Yuyan's thinking was still within the scope of normal ethics and morals.

Cheng Yuejuan had already understood her husband's thoughts and figured out the key.

He put his hands together and prayed repeatedly, "Don't dare, don't dare, this is against the will of heaven and earth! How dare that old man Xiao Decai come up with this idea?"

Master Qiao Wu asked back: "Have you forgotten? When that old guy was young, he was not very serious!"

Qiao Yuyan was anxious when she heard this, "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand a thing."

Neither of the old couple wanted to tell their own daughter about such a dirty thing.

So Master Qiao Wu had to change the subject and said, "So, the kid from the Wu family is really loyal and righteous."

Cheng Yuejuan also nodded.

As expected, Qiao Yuyan was diverted from the topic. She raised her chin proudly, showing her fair neck, and said, "That's right! Brother Wu Wei is a good man, a capable man. Now he is building houses for people in the city, and he has seven or eight people under him!"

According to industry rules, those who lead people to work can only be considered as skilled workers.

Small jobs don't count.

But Qiao Yuyan was so anxious to flatter Wu Wei that she didn't care about so much.

Master Qiao Wu was not convinced and said, "No matter how many people he brings, build five big tiled houses first!"

Then he came to his senses and said, "I remember you said a while ago that he wanted to become a disciple? He's already working as a foreman, why would he want to become a disciple?"

At this point, seeing the guilty look in the youngest daughter's eyes, he immediately said, "In the future, you should have less contact with that boy!"

No matter how hard it is for someone to raise a precious daughter who has escaped from the countryside, they would not want her to be dragged down by a poor boy from the countryside. Qiao Yuyan didn't care about that, she angrily confiscated the bottle and said, "Mom, Dad drank too much tonight."

"Hey, hey, hey, it's obviously still halfway through, six is ​​auspicious, and it's only three cups!" Master Qiao Wu was anxious, "Yuyan, you have to at least let me have good things in pairs, one more cup, one more cup?"

Qiao Yuyan pouted and said unreasonably: "It doesn't matter if you are lucky or good things come in pairs, I think you are drunk. If you don't want to give it to me, then I won't give it to you!"

The next day was August 8, the beginning of autumn.

The construction of the second floor of Mr. Zheng’s house is more than halfway completed, and the roof has been completed.

It's just a flat roof with prefabricated floor slabs, and no real beams.

But the sense of ceremony should still be there.

Old man Zheng stayed at home deliberately, taking care of his youngest son Zheng Huaimin, who was as thin as a stick.

The earth is spread out in red with ten thousand sounds.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, children from the neighborhood gathered downstairs and scrambled for the candies that Wu Wei had thrown down from the roof of the second floor.

The neighbors kept praising Old Man Zheng for how beautiful the second-floor addition was and how efficiently he had done the job.

After the commotion, Old Man Zheng directly presented Wu Wei with a whole row of Daqianmen.

Master Chen, who was following Wu Wei, was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

He has done a lot of bricklaying work over the years, but has never been treated with such courtesy?

Not only that, Old Man Zheng also kept expressing his gratitude: "Master Wu, you did a great job! You made me proud. Since you made me proud, I naturally cannot treat you unfairly!"

Wu Wei accepted the Daqianmen, but he still spoke politely without missing a beat.

After the ceremony.

In just one morning, all the prefabricated floor slabs were installed.

This really made everyone very tired.

So Wu Wei finished the first half of the day's work half an hour early so that everyone could rest and wait for dinner.

In the shade, Wu Wei was smoking and chatting with Master Gao and Master Chen.

Then a middle-aged woman in her forties came over and said, "Master Wu, can you excuse me?"

Wu Wei stood up when he heard the voice and said, "That's convenient. May I ask who you are?"

The woman turned around and pointed to the door of the third house to the east of Zheng's family and said, "I belong to that family. My last name is Jiang, and the owner's last name is Song. He wants to invite Master Wu to come over tonight to discuss rebuilding the house."

Wu Wei took a closer look and saw that it was also a bungalow, so he asked without hesitation: "Sister Jiang, are you planning to add a second floor too?"

The woman chuckled and said, "At my age, I can almost be your mother, and you actually call me sister!"

Wu Wei said shamelessly: "Sister Jiang is so young, I can't call you anything else."

The woman waved her hand and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, don't leave after get off work today. Remember to come over."

It takes a while.

In addition to the third family at the east end, two families at the west end of Zheng's family also came to say hello.

They are all old employees of the meat processing plant, and it is inevitable that they compare with each other.

Master Chen, who witnessed all this, could no longer hold back and asked quietly, "Lao Gao, if I don't take the initiative to fight with Master Wu, will I have no chance?"
