Chapter 282: You still want to build a house?

The four people felt that if they grasped their fate, it would make a world of difference.

When she was recruiting a younger brother, she was timid and beaten and scolded at home. After a few years, she would grow up and receive a betrothal gift and get married. Whether she suffered or tired in the future had nothing to do with her natal family. If she became rich, her parents and brothers would cling to her like leeches in the paddy field, and they would not be able to get rid of her until they were full of blood.

When she became Wanxia, ​​the little girl had clear eyes and a straight back. Her future husband's family must have been carefully selected, and her natal family was rich and could choose a husband's family. Naturally, the most important thing was that she was valued by her parents!

Now Fan Jinshuiqing is her parents, and this is her natal family. The status of a married woman in her husband's family depends on whether she can stand up on her own, and whether her natal family is strong and important.

Wanxia is a lucky child.

What Mr. Wang thought in his heart was that Fan Dazhu and the other two were boys, and if they had this luck, they would have a bright future. It would be a pity if the other four did not grasp it.

The old village chief was also thinking about Fan Dazhu and the other four at this moment, but he didn't feel sorry at all. Not to mention that Fan Jin Shuiqing looked down on those four people, he, who was half buried in the earth and looked down on everything, also looked down on them.

However, he still admired Fan Jin very much. He looked down on them as well. He was just an outsider, but he was his uncle. Some men would help their relatives regardless of their bad character or their cunning deeds, and there were many cases of them helping their nephews and emptying their own families.

Although Shuiqing didn't care about her husband's nephew, she was conscientious and devoted to her niece.....

Master Fan Qi was also a member of the Fan family. He felt that Fan's mother was unfair in dividing the family. It was fine if the fields and forests were divided unfairly, but why didn't the second son have any of the three brick and tile houses? Not only did he not have a house, but he also didn't make up for the money and food!

Now Jin's family has a good life on their own. Fan's mother has asked him to come over to put pressure on her several times, but he refused. She avoided him when she wanted to divide the family and seek benefits. Doesn't he have a face? Is he a shameless person?

Old man Xu has not thought about anything since the tea came up.

He was eating happily.

There are cakes in this teahouse! And Shuiqing also signaled them to eat as they like.

A bite of cake and a sip of tea, it's delicious!

Don't say it, Jin's wife knows how to live, and her life is so good!

Shuiqing waited until the four of them drank a few sips of tea to moisten their throats before asking: "Several elders came together, is there something wrong?"

Old man Xu was eating cakes happily, looking at the old village chief, signaling the old village chief to speak.

The old village chief talked about buying a donkey, and finally said: "First, we want to see if you have a female donkey, and second, we want to ask if you are willing."

Grandpa Wang added: "We are not just taking advantage. It depends on whether you are willing to sell. If you don't have enough, it's normal. If you are willing to sell more later, you can consider our village first."

Old man Xu didn't care about eating, and nodded vigorously.

It's too hard and tiring to pull the plow to plow the fields. In the past, it was their parents, and then they themselves. Now it's their children. No matter who it is, they feel sorry for it.

In the past, they were used to poverty and had no hope. Now Fan Jin and Shuiqing have given them a little hope. They don't want to give up easily, so they can only come here to ask and give it a try.

Shuiqing really didn't expect it to be this matter.

She looked at the four pairs of hopeful eyes and answered affirmatively: "There are indeed male and female donkeys. When I bought them, I wanted them to give birth, so I didn't have to go out to buy them. After all, you know that a donkey is worth a lot of money.

My donkeys are enough for now, and there is no need to buy more for the time being, but donkeys only give birth once a year, and only one at a time. In addition, they need to be raised for at least ten months before they can be put into the market, and they can pull the plow for about two years. Are you sure you want it?"

This is what the donkey-raising book she bought said. Her donkeys haven't given birth yet, which means that it will take at least two or three years. Are they willing to wait?

Hearing that Shui Qing didn't even talk about the money and agreed directly, the four old men were excited.

"Yes, it has been decades in the past, so it's not that we can't wait for two or three years."

"As long as you are willing to sell it, it's fine. It's okay to wait. Time is not a problem."

"If I don't have enough money by then, can I deduct it slowly after selling the rabbits?" Fan Qiye said with some shame.

The family has some money saved, but Xiao Liuzi wants to get married, and once it is agreed, seven or eight taels of silver will be required. Buying a donkey is very important, but it is hard to delay Xiao Liuzi's marriage for the donkey.

Fortunately, the family has recently made some money from selling rabbits, and he can guarantee that he will send it over as soon as he has the money.

Shuiqing smiled and said, "It's okay if there is not enough money. I just have a suggestion. Do you think it's okay?"

The four looked at Shuiqing at the same time, and their old eyes were full of confusion.

Did they hear it right? How can it be okay if there is not enough money?

Shuiqing continued, "In fact, we don't have to wait until the donkey cubs grow up. We can use cows and donkeys to plow the land now. To be precise, we can use livestock to plow the land while waiting for the donkeys to give birth and grow up."

The four old men were at a loss, and at this moment they deeply felt that they were old.

Otherwise, why didn't they understand a word of these words.

Shuiqing told her plans for the past few days one by one: "You see, the soil has been transported to my family's fields. Now all the cows and donkeys are used for plowing. My family has a total of more than 100 acres of land. One cow can plow five acres a day, and one donkey can plow two or three acres a day. A cow, ten donkeys, a total of eleven, is 30 acres a day. It can be plowed in three or four days at most.

The cows and donkeys will not be used later. The cows and donkeys are just sitting there. I was thinking if we can exchange them? I will lend you the donkey to plow the land. After the busy farming season is over, I need to build a house during the slack season. Can you send someone to help me?"

Farmers attach great importance to the busy farming season. All people and things must give way to the busy farming season. In order to rush to plant and harvest, they are not afraid of hardship but are afraid of not being able to finish the work. The addition of cows and donkeys will not only make things easier but also speed up the progress of the busy farming season. They should be tempted to agree.

The four old village chiefs are the same.

Hearing that Shuiqing was willing to lend them the donkey, Mr. Wang stood up excitedly and said, "Okay! Men can plow half an acre to an acre of land a day. Since a donkey can plow two or three acres a day, then a donkey can plow three men a day or one man three days. Do you think it's okay?"

There is nothing to do during the slack season, so it's nothing to build a house.

Besides, building a house is much easier than plowing the land.

Build a house?

Mr. Wang realized it later and asked in surprise, "You still want to build a house?"

Didn't their family already have a large house with more than ten rooms? Why did they want to build a house?
