The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 27 Building a House
"Boss, how did you buy this donkey?" Sheng Wanqiu just wanted to solve the problem quickly. She endured the stench and walked around, and then she saw a very strong donkey.

The ox cart is too slow, and someone might come to her house to borrow an ox to plow the fields or something. That would be troublesome!
A horse-drawn carriage is too ostentatious. What kind of family is this! They even dare to buy a horse-drawn carriage?
Some people would speculate whether she sold more than thirty taels of ginseng.

But we cannot underestimate the cleverness of these ancient people. Considering safety, it is safest to choose a donkey cart.

"Girl, you have good eyesight. If you really want this donkey, give me six taels of silver! My livestock are all guaranteed to be healthy."

When the boss saw someone asking the price, he immediately came forward with a smile to entertain them.

"Six taels? Then I won't bargain. If you give me the car behind you, I will pay!"

Sheng Wanqiu pointed, and the boss turned around and looked, "Oh my god, this is how you bargain?!"

The wooden cart behind him was just made. He originally planned to use it for his own use, so he used good wood and put a lot of effort into it, and even coated it with tung oil from top to bottom.

This girl has such a good eyesight, this is simply robbery!
"Girl, if you want to put the wood on the truck yourself, the wood processing fee will be at least two taels. You want me to take you there now, that's definitely not possible!"

The boss refused.

"Okay then! Thank you! Goodbye!" Sheng Wanqiu walked away.

She never likes to make things difficult for others. You make an offer, I counter-offer, and if you don't agree, then we go to another store.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute, girl!"

When the boss saw Sheng Wanqiu leave so resolutely, he immediately called her back.

"Girl, do you think this will work? Eight taels, you can take both the cart and the donkey!" said the boss as if he had suffered a great loss.

"Six taels!"

"If you agree, I'll take you away. If you don't agree, forget it!"

"In the future, I might also want to buy horses, sheep, and cows. This business has a lot of room for growth! What do you think?"

The boss gritted his teeth.

Sheng Wanqiu knew how to make empty promises, and in the end she bought the donkey cart for six taels and five cents of silver.

The boss was quite honest and even taught Sheng Wanqiu how to maintain a wooden cart.

"Thanks! I'll come to your house again in the future!"

Sheng Wanqiu thanked him politely and made some promises, then happily drove the donkey cart out of the city.

The first thing she did when she returned to the village was to find Sheng Lizheng. She wanted to build a house, but she was completely clueless about the matter, so she had no choice but to ask the Lizheng for help.

The donkey cart stopped directly at the door of the village head's house. On the way back, Sheng Wanqiu gave the donkey some spiritual spring water, hoping that the donkey would be healthy and avoid getting restless and sick due to the change of environment.

Unexpectedly, the donkey seemed to become smarter after drinking. It would go when she was told to go and stop when she was told to stop. It was very obedient and docile.

"Wanqiu, what is this donkey cart for?" Sheng Lizheng saw a donkey cart at the door of his house and thought it was a servant from a wealthy family who came to ask him for something, but he didn't expect it to be Sheng Wanqiu.

"I bought it. I'm going to send my brothers to study in the next village. It will be more convenient for them to go to school in the morning and evening."

Sheng Wanqiu spoke frankly.

Then I mentioned the purpose of today.

"If you want to talk about building a house, I can take you to find Chen Erzhu. He builds houses for people."

After the village head finished speaking, he took Sheng Wanqiu to Chen Erzhu's house. Sheng Wanqiu understood. No wonder Chen Erzhu's family was the only one in the village with an ox cart and lived in an adobe brick house. This craftsman was always in high demand.

The head of the village explained his purpose and Chen Erzhu immediately agreed. There was no reason for him to refuse such a business opportunity.

When Sheng Wanqiu handed the blueprint she had drawn last night to Sun Erzhu, Chen Erzhu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wanqiu girl, did you draw this?"

"Well! How much does it cost to build a house like this?" Sheng Wanqiu nodded and asked.

"I've watched you grow up, too. I won't ask you for more money. If I were to take care of the labor and materials, building a house like this would cost around fifteen taels!"

"If you prepare the materials yourself, just give me eight taels as labor fee!" Chen Erzhu thought for a while and replied.

"Uncle Chen, this is for you!"

"I am not a slow person. Although I have a bad temper, I also respect people. If others respect me one foot, I will respect them one yard. This is mutual!"

"As long as Uncle Chen builds a beautiful house for me, it can also serve as a living signboard for you, right?"

"Take this banknote and I'll refund you when the time comes. I only have one request, and that's for the real stuff!"

Sheng Wanqiu directly took out a silver note with a face value of twenty taels and placed it on the table.

"Okay! You are so open-minded, and you call me uncle. I promise to build you a beautiful house!"

Chen Erzhu admired Sheng Wanqiu's decisiveness very much. She was not hesitant at such a young age and was efficient and open in doing things. She was much better than her uncles!
The matter of building the house was settled. Sheng Wanqiu asked Chen Erzhu about a carpenter who could make furniture. She drove a donkey cart with him to the next village and found the carpenter recommended by Chen Erzhu. She quickly ordered another batch of furniture.

Of course, the picture was also provided by Sheng Wanqiu. After a brief explanation, Shi Mujiang immediately understood it.

He spent another ten taels to buy the furniture, and then took Chen Erzhu back to Qingshan Village.

The news that she bought a donkey cart and that she bought land to build a house had already spread throughout Qingshan Village. The villagers were all envious and jealous, and of course there were also some who hated her.

For example, Bai Xiaolian's family had been cursing at home for half an hour.

Especially when Bai Haowu was playing in the village and saw Sheng Huaimu wearing new shoes and new clothes, he immediately burst into tears and ran home to ask Bai Jiangshi to buy him new clothes and new shoes.

A child is a child after all. He only knew that Sheng Wanqiu used to send all the good things to his house, but now they are all given to his younger brother. He suddenly felt unbalanced.

Not to mention the children, even Bai Jiang felt unbalanced. She had seen Mrs. Sheng showing off her silver bracelet when she went out yesterday.

These are all hers, I'm so angry that my head hurts!

"Mom, that little bitch Sheng Wanqiu bought a donkey cart and is even building a house!" Bai Xiaolian told her mother what she had just heard in the village as soon as she entered the house. "Mom, it's all my brother's fault. If he could have kept Sheng Wanqiu's heart, wouldn't all these things belong to me?"

Bai Xiaolian was so angry that she blamed her elder brother for being useless.

"Mom, please think of a solution!" Bai Xiaolian looked at her elder brother who didn't say a word and could only turn around to find Bai Jiangshi.

"What can I do? Why don't you go to the mountain to dig ginseng too?" Bai Jiang said irritably.

"Sheng Zhaodi's legs are gone. I don't want to go up the mountain to die!" Bai Xiaolian waved her hands hurriedly. She saw Sheng Zhaodi's legs. It was so scary that she even had a nightmare at night.

She would rather die than go up the mountain. She still wants to marry a rich man, but she must protect her legs!
