Chapter One Hundred and Fortieth Prodigal Wife
When Mu Ersan heard this, her face looked bad. She originally planned to build a house of 100 taels. Unexpectedly, her family was honest and not only took out the money she had saved, but she also had to borrow 200 taels from her sister-in-law.
"I don't agree. Our family saved up a total of 200 taels of silver. It's all for a long time. We have to borrow money from my younger sister and take debts all at once. How can this be done?"
"You loser, it's not your turn to express your opinions in this family. If you don't agree, it's so hard. Just make a decision. I earn all the money in the family, and I have the final say." Mu Er made the final decision.
Mu Ersao was so angry that she stomped her feet, "Mu Er, your Mu family knew to bully me, and she couldn't live this life."
"But you go back to your parents' home, pack up your package and get out of here. Whoever doesn't want to return is a dog." Mu Er was not afraid of this. He wanted his wife to go back to her home, and his ears were pure.
He had enough trouble when he had something to do at home.
Mr. Mu Er was stunned. She had a powerful sister-in-law in her parents' home. When she went, her sister-in-law would not make a fuss. She wanted to scare Mu Er, but she didn't expect to shoot herself in the foot.
This time, it's not right, it's not right if it doesn't.
"Okay, my second brother, my mother said that building a house would be voluntarily.
It was a good thing to build a house, but it would be better for you two to make a fuss about it.
How much does the second brother get? Let’s discuss with your second sister-in-law again.” Kapok really couldn’t stand it, and saw that her parents were so angry that they were both angry.
She felt sorry for her parents, so she advised her a few words.
"My sister doesn't have to worry about her, I'll say anything about it." Mu Er became tough.
Mu Er's wife was also afraid that Mu Er would chase her home, so she woke up and quickly agreed, "My father and mother are all petty, so I can understand it and do what Mu Er said.
Building a house is a big deal, and we should spend more money when we have this ability.”
"You asked your mother to tell me what you are good about, but you wouldn't be able to make a fuss even if you have to make a fuss. Isn't the family harmonious after being enlightened?" Liu Po sighed.
Kapok also breathed a sigh of relief. This second sister-in-law was quite rescued. She didn't make any more trouble and embarrassed her second brother.
"My mother and son are unfilial. Currently, she has earned more than a dozen taels of silver by selling calligraphy and paintings. She is not capable of getting the money for her family.
My son is ashamed!" Mu Sanyi spoke with guilt.
"Third brother said this. Why do you feel guilty? Your ambition is not about making money at all.
You want to take the career of the officialdom. You don’t have to worry about these chores at my third brother’s family. Just study hard, and you can honor your ancestors and give your family a good fortune in the future." Kapok quickly spoke and encouraged me.
Third brother is a good material for studying and has the character of a literati.
She is still optimistic about the third brother's scientific examination.
"Thank you little sister! Third brother is moved!" Mu San looked at the little sister gratefully. The little sister in the family understands him the best.
Just based on what my sister said, he must study hard, get fame and fortune, and live up to her expectations.
"What the third brother, your younger sister, said is also what parents say, that is, your younger sister, would say it. After the third brother, you have built a new house, my mother will leave you a room for you to live in.
You are a person who wants to take the exam for fame and fortune. If you pass the exam, you can't stay at home. You will inevitably have to go to a big place. You don't have to divide the property of this house at home, and you don't have to take out the money. You have collected the more than ten taels of silver you earned.
Third brother, your right hand has been completely restored. I will go back to the academy to continue studying. There is a teacher in the academy who preaches and learns more than you are at home." Liu Po advised his third son to study at the county academy.
Mu San also agreed.
The Mu family decided to build a house, and the big house took out 315 taels of silver from Kapok.
The second house family took out 400 taels of silver in total.
As for Liu Po and his wife, Mu Laohu had been caring for a few days after returning home, so he didn't go to work.
Fortunately, the couple took advantage of their children's light and handed over the money they earned to the public security every month.
They also saved more than fifty taels, and both of them took them out to build a house.
After all, it was almost eight hundred taels of silver, and the remaining kapok was filled.
The next day, the Mu family started to build a house.
Mu Laohu is a bricklayer. He has worked in this industry for most of his life and has met many colleagues.
Mu Laohu pulled his face down and went to find the bricklayer in the village. It was not useless to work, but he gave thirty documents a day.
For Mu Laohu's sake, the masons in the village pushed their work and ran to Mu's house to build a house.
The furniture of the Mu family is even easier. Mu Boss is a carpenter. He found a few half-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Building a house was already funded by the Mu family. In terms of decoration, you can save as much as you can and ensure quality. If you can spend less money, you can spend less money.
The half-lazi carpenter has little work, just help me. Boss Mu personally made a sofa and a wardrobe for his family.
When all the craftsmen who helped build the house arrived, Mu Laohu couldn't rest, and he felt itchy when he saw the craftsmen working, and he also joined the team building the house.
Craftsmen serve lunch at noon, save time on the way when they go home for dinner.
The Mu family is not stingy, and the big pot of pork belly stewed with beans is filled with a lot of meat.
There are also scrambled eggs with persimmons, braised pork head meat cucumbers, and fried eggplant boxes.
"We usually don't want to eat so much meat in the beans during festivals. The Mu family is too particular."
"These pots of good dishes are better than what I eat during the Chinese New Year." The craftsman sat at the dining table, swallowing saliva as he watched the food.
"Our Mu family builds a house. Thank you for the villagers who come to help. Don't be polite, eat well." Mu Laohu said happily.
Some craftsmen have not cooked meat for a long time, and the Mu family’s dishes are delicious and meaty.
They all ate it with satisfaction, which was the best meal they had since they worked. Not to mention the meat and meat, they couldn't even see the oil and water.
You can still eat white rice at the Mu family, but you can't bear to eat it like this at home.
The craftsmen are grateful in their hearts. The Mu family is sincere to them, and they are determined to do their best.
The carpenters did do this, and they didn't go home until the sun set, and they worked half an hour more than the agreed work time.
The old house of the Mu family was shaved, and during the day, the carpenter helped find an open space in the yard to temporarily build a place to live.
Fortunately, it is warm in the summer nights and can still stay as long as it doesn’t rain.
The Mu family had been busy all day, and they went to bed early after dinner. They were tired but their hearts were hot.
The next day, the craftsmen came to the Mu family early in the morning. Liu Po and his two daughters-in-law got up early and wrapped dumplings filled with pork and green onion. They specially invited the craftsmen to eat.
The craftsmen ate porridge at home for breakfast, and the kind with few grains of rice is almost like mixed grains, and the steamed buns are hard and their throats are covered with hardness.
