Reborn in 78, I made my fortune by working in the mountains, supporting three families on my own.

Zhao Lei doesn't want to build mud houses, he wants to build red brick houses!

Zhao Lei has only been back for less than a month, and he's already earned enough for a brick house!

To this day, the three ex-wives are still in a daze, looking at each other in bewilderment.

However, Jiang Xinyue, who held the reins of finance, knew the truth best.

You know what, their family's current savings are a huge sum of money!

Even within the entire Qingfeng Town, it would be considered one of the best.

Zhao Lei suddenly looked at Jiang Xinyue and once again made a shocking statement.

"Xinyue, considering the long-term development of our family, I think you can quit your job at the pig farm."

With a buzzing sound, it was as if an electric current had struck the minds of the three ex-wives.

Qin Yuchan stared wide-eyed at Zhao Lei.

"Huh? Sanshi? What are you planning now? Why would you suddenly make Xinyue change jobs?"

Su Wanqing was also greatly shocked. After thinking for a moment, she advised, "Brother Sanshi, what are you planning?"

Jiang Xinyue pressed further, "Sanshi, although working at the pig farm isn't as respectable as Sister Yuchan's and Sister Wanqing's jobs, what else can I do if I don't do this?"

Zhao Lei had long wanted to find Jiang Xinyue a different job.

Every time I went to see Jiang Xinyue, I could smell the stench of pig manure from afar.

Moreover, Jiang Xinyue always had a slight odor when she came back each day.

Even if she washes and changes her clothes frequently every day, how could Zhao Lei bear to see this beautiful and intelligent young lady constantly smelling like pig manure and turning into a pig girl?

How could I bear to part with it?

A while ago, he was short of money and lacked confidence because he didn't have enough money in his pocket.

But things are different now. Now we have grain in the granary, so we don't panic when things happen.

Furthermore, the house needs to be repaired, and someone needs to be at home to supervise the work.

Zhao Lei thought it over and over.

Although Qin Yuchan was on summer vacation, she was still working in the fields to earn work points.

Most importantly, Qin Yuchan has a fiery temper and her words are often unpleasant to hear. If she offends the foreman who is helping with the construction, he might secretly sabotage the building process, which would be a huge loss.

Su Wanqing is gentle and considerate, but sometimes too weak-willed, so she is not suitable for the job of supervising.

Only the moon over the river is most suitable.

Jiang Xinyue is the most rational among them. Once she gets down to work, she is serious, hardworking, and eager to learn.

They are also decisive and efficient in their dealings with others.

Zhao Lei trusts her the most when it comes to supervising the construction of houses.

At the same time, Jiang Xinyue also controls the family's finances; only with her supervision can every penny of hard-earned money be properly managed.

Zhao Lei expressed this idea to several of his ex-wives.

At first, no one understood why Zhao Lei wanted Jiang Xinyue to quit her job, but after hearing this, they all understood.

Qin Yuchan suddenly realized: "Oh, right, right, Lei Zi, you really thought of everything this time. Building a house really requires someone to supervise it, so I feel at ease leaving it to Xin Yue to oversee."

Su Wanqing agreed, saying, "Oh, I see, Brother Sanshi. But Sister Xinyue's job is indeed very hard. It would be good if she could find a better job in the future."

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "That's right. Building the house might take anywhere from a month to forty or fifty days. During this time, I'll trouble Xin Yue to supervise the construction."

Zhao Lei looked at Jiang Xinyue and asked for her opinion: "Xinyue, what do you think?"

Jiang Xinyue was somewhat flattered.

She never expected that such an important matter as building a house for her family would be entrusted to her.

However, since everyone had expressed their opinions, she felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

"Since you trust me so much, I will definitely do this well."

Upon receiving Jiang Xinyue's reply, Zhao Lei breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, it's settled then. Find some time to talk to Sister Xia and the others about it."

"We're having a production brigade meeting tomorrow, I'll go ask my father-in-law again what permits are needed for building the house."

Once the matter was settled, the family members went about their respective tasks.

Jiang Xinyue and Su Wanqing both went back to work.

Just as Qin Yuchan was about to leave, Zhao Lei called out to her.

"Yu Chan, don't go out to earn those work points today. Stay home and take care of the children."

Qin Yuchan rolled her eyes at him: "What? You can't stand being asked to stay home and take care of the kids for half a day?"

Zhao Lei patted Zhao Yiyuan's head and said with a smile, "Hey, Yu Chan, I have something important to tell you. Didn't the Zhang brothers, Zhang Sangong and Zhang Lin and Zhang Sen, come back next door? I'm going to their house to have a chat with them."

"What are you going to talk about?"

"It's about repairing the house! Uncle Zhang is an experienced bricklayer, and Zhang Lin and Zhang Sen learned the skill from him. We need help repairing our house, don't we?"

Qin Yuchan slapped her forehead: "Oh dear, how could I forget? Okay, I'll stay home and look after the kids, you go ahead."

Zhao Lei immediately beamed with joy, and as he passed by Qin Yuchan, he even slapped her buttocks.

The bouncy texture left him wanting more.

However, this prompted Qin Yuchan to turn around and deliver a flying kick.

After a brief scuffle between the couple, Zhao Lei sneaked out of the house with a cheeky grin.

They arrived at Zhang Sanpo's house after walking only a few steps.

Are Grandma and Grandpa home?

Hearing Zhao Lei's call, the elderly couple came out with their rice bowls.

"Oh, eating now? Well, I've come at just the right time. Anything for me?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang glared at him and said, "You brat, your food is much better than mine, yet you still come to my house to freeload. I could smell the aroma of meat just now."

When Zhang Sangong saw Zhao Lei arrive, he quickly called out into the house, "Boss, hurry up, Lei is here, bring another set of chopsticks and a bowl."

"Okay, Dad."

A young man's voice came from inside the room.

Zhao Lei immediately waved his hand, "Oh, Third Master, thank you, I've already eaten. I was just joking with you."

Zhang Sangong, however, persisted, pulling Zhao Lei towards the main room: "So what if you've already eaten? Can't you eat a little more? It's just a matter of having one more person and one more set of chopsticks."

"Your Excellency, I have indeed eaten. Tell Brother Zhang Sen not to bother. I've come here to discuss serious matters with you."

Zhang Sangong asked in confusion, "Huh? Serious business? What serious business? Did you and your ex-wife have another fight?"

Zhao Lei's face immediately fell: "Third Master, we're on very good terms now, how could we be arguing? Hehe."

"You brat, whenever you two had a fight, you'd send your old man and me over to settle things. I'm used to it. But this time, you've been back for a month, and I've heard from your wife that you two are living happily together. I don't believe it."

"What's there to disbelieve? My story is called 'a prodigal son returning home, more precious than gold.'"

Zhang Sangong and his two sons had just returned from working out of town a few days ago.

His wife tells him about what happens in Zhao Lei's family every day, and he's tired of hearing it.

How could he not know about the changes that had occurred in Zhao Lei's family?

Zhang Lin brought over a bowl of tea and handed it to Zhao Lei: "Leizi, have some tea."

Zhang Lin and Zhao Lei are about the same age; they basically grew up playing together since they were little.

Of course, there's also his younger brother Zhang Sen, who's four years younger than him...
