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

Chapter 65: Aunt, do you have anyone to recommend?

"Wanqiu, I think the plants on this plot of land are also vines. Do you want to build a trellis here?"

The bamboo craftsman pointed to the field where Sheng Wanqiu planted watermelons and asked.

"It's not necessary here. Its fruits are too big to be hung on a rack. It's more suitable to be grown in the ground."

Sheng Wanqiu explained the doubts to Tian Meijiang.

"Oh! So that's how it is!" The bamboo craftsman nodded. He really couldn't tell what kind of plants Sheng Wanqiu was planting in the field. He didn't recognize any of them.

"Wanqiu girl, auntie is asking something!"

"The plants here are about to bloom and bear fruit. I think you should find someone to look after them. Otherwise, I'm worried that the beast will come down the mountain and destroy them."

"You are at the foot of the mountain. Especially in autumn and winter, many animals like to come down the mountain to look for food. You have melons and fruits here, so it would be better to find someone to watch over them."

The wife of the bamboo craftsman was named Xu. She was a plump and kind-looking woman who looked very blessed. However, the bamboo craftsman was tall and thin, and looked like a bamboo spirit.

Sheng Wanqiu had thought about this problem a long time ago. She was not afraid of any wild beasts coming down the mountain, but she was afraid that the villagers would have bad intentions and destroy the fruits of her hard work.

She has seen several aunts hanging around her place in the past few days. Although she has built a bamboo fence around it, it is not made of reinforced concrete and is still not very safe.

"Auntie, do you have anyone to recommend?"

Since Aunt Jiang asked this, she must have a candidate. This candidate must have some outstanding qualities and be related to Aunt Jiang's family, otherwise Aunt Jiang would not be a talkative person.

Sure enough, Aunt Jiang started to feel embarrassed. She looked at her husband who was working and her smile was a little awkward.

"He's a distant cousin of mine. My uncle was a soldier on the battlefield and his legs were a little disabled. My cousin also went to the battlefield and came back with an injured hand. His wife was an ungrateful person. Seeing this, she took the money and ran away with him."

"Right now, my uncle and my cousin are living with a boy, and life is a bit difficult. But he has some martial arts experience, so it's no problem for him to help look after the fields. That's why I'm asking you shamelessly."

"If you don't need it, that's fine. I just asked anyway!"

After Aunt Jiang finished speaking haltingly, her face turned a little red. Her uncle and cousin were not just having a hard time now, but were having a very hard time.

With their disabilities, they barely made a living by farming. When they looked for work, others saw their situation and drove them out before they could even open their mouths.

If it were just the two of them, it would be fine, but they also had a half-grown child and they really had no food to eat. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she said something more. When she was a child, her uncle was very nice to her and even bought her candies.

"Okay! Then auntie, when can you bring the person over to see me?"

Sheng Wanqiu readily agreed. Anyone who defends the country at any time is worthy of admiration.

"Okay, okay, then I'll bring someone over to show you tomorrow." Aunt Jiang nodded quickly and agreed immediately.

"Okay, auntie, it's just right that you and uncle come over for dinner tomorrow. We're having a banquet to celebrate the completion of our new house. It's fun for everyone to come together. It's just a matter of bringing a few more pairs of chopsticks. Remember to bring everyone with you!"

Sheng Wanqiu expressed her thoughts with a smile. It was just a matter of a meal, which didn't matter to her.

Today was the day the Sheng family was holding a banquet, and the weather was especially favorable. The weather was sunny and windy. Although it was early summer, it wasn't as hot as usual, and there was even a slight breeze in the air. "Grandma, aren't you being too exaggerated today?"

Mrs. Sheng wore all the jewelry that Sheng Wanqiu had bought for her twice, and she wore two gilded hairpins on her head. Although they were gilded and hollow and not worth much, it was enough to make the young girls, young wives and old aunts in Qingshan Village envious.

"Just to make them jealous, huh! Envy me for having such a capable granddaughter, and make that old woman Wei die of rage!"

"You are dressed too plainly. Come, let me give you this gilded hairpin!"

Mrs. Sheng looked at her granddaughter, who was wearing a emerald green dress today and a jade hairpin on her head. Although her skin was so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it, it was still a bit plain, so she wanted to come over and dress her up.

"Grandma! I decline! I don't like carrying these things. You should dress yourself!"

"I'll go wait at the entrance of the village. The people from the restaurant will be here soon. Please pack up and go to the new house to set up the place!"

Sheng Wanqiu quickly ran out of the door, fearing that her grandmother would dress her up as a feather duster.

"I know, I know!"

"Why doesn't this child love beauty? She's not like me at all!" Mrs. Sheng shook her head and muttered when she saw Sheng Wanqiu running away.

Sheng Huaian and Sheng Huaijin asked for leave from the teacher yesterday, and also invited Master Wu and his wife to come for a banquet. They went to the new house early to wait.

The Sheng family's new house has a total of six rooms, four of which are side by side in the yard, and the other two are connected to these four rooms. Behind these four rooms, the entrances are all inside the houses, which can be considered small suites.

There is also a large kitchen, a small bathroom and a utility room in the yard. Since the land was bought by Sheng Wanqiu, the yard is very large.

After we actually move in, we'll see what Mrs. Sheng wants to raise, and then we can build a shed in the yard to raise some small animals.

Chen Erzhu looked at the house he built with great satisfaction. He didn't expect Sheng Wanqiu to be so willing to spend money. In the middle of the construction, he said that it would be best if the main beams in the house were replaced with birch wood. This wood has a smell that insects dare not approach, so it will not be eaten by insects.

Without saying a word, Sheng Wanqiu gave him another twenty taels of silver and told him to do with it himself and use whatever he liked.

"Uncle Chen, your craftsmanship is really amazing. This house is so beautiful."

Sheng Huaian and Sheng Huaijin came over and praised sincerely.

"Haha, the main thing is that your sister is willing to spend money. You two have such a sister, so don't forget your roots in the future!" Chen Erzhu touched Sheng Huaijin's little head.

This child is so handsome, much handsomer than his own little boy. He doesn’t know where Sheng Wanqiu found him, but he wants to pick one up too.

"Yes! I will never forget my roots!" Sheng Huaijin nodded vigorously.

The life he lived these days was something he had never dared to dream of before. He had meat to eat, books to read, a nice quilt, clean clothes, and his grandmother and brothers were all very kind to him.

Especially his eldest sister, who not only cares about his studies, but also his physical health. Every time they eat meat, she gives him the biggest piece. He is really so happy. When he grows up, he will definitely repay his eldest sister and the grandmother and brothers of the Sheng family.
