The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 47 It’s time to build a new house
Meng Lan looked at He Tianci, who was standing in front of her with his head down, and began to think about how to arrange He Tianci so that he could contribute to the family to the greatest extent possible.
During the day, everyone has their own things to do and it is impossible for them not to go out to make money, so they all stay at home waiting for He Tianci to come and teach them.
Moreover, given the current situation at home, Meng Lan had no intention of sending anyone to study to become a scholar or a juren.
Women were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, and the three sons were not good at studying. He Guangzu was quite smart, but he was too young.
Therefore, her current priority for her family is to have a skill that will allow them to survive, and this is the most important thing.
Learning to read and count is also for the purpose of avoiding being cheated in the outside world.
In order not to delay making money for half a day, she could only wait until everyone was resting at home in the evening before asking He Tianci to teach everyone arithmetic and literacy.
In this way, she had arranged He Tianci's evening schedule.
There is still no plan for the day.
What should he do during the day? He can't be the only one idle during the day when everyone else is busy. Even if other people in the family are willing, Meng Lan won't allow it.
She looked at the shabby thatched houses in front of her and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She would have to build a tile house sooner or later anyway, so she might as well build it sooner rather than later.
Meng Lan quickly calculated the money she had and the speed at which she was making money.
After finishing the calculation, Meng Lan made a decision in her mind: prepare to build a big tiled house immediately!
We have to cover it up quickly while it is still warm. It is best to finish it before winter comes, so that they will not be afraid when it snows, and they will definitely have a comfortable New Year.
When it comes to blue bricks and large tiles, the village chief's family makes the best.
Especially the youngest son of the village chief, his craftsmanship is top-notch.
Since they are going to build one, they have to build a good one.
This is their root, and they can pass it on to their descendants.
The land that He Laoliu was allocated was very large, but unfortunately he was poor and could not afford to build a house. He only built a few of the cheapest thatched houses, and now that his family has grown, there is not enough space for them.
Thinking of this, Meng Lan decided not to go to town today. She would take He Tianci to the village chief's house to discuss the brick and tile matter.
As for setting up a stall in town, Meng Lan planned to ask the eldest brother and his wife to go alone today and see how it goes.
If it is almost done, she can slowly let go and let the eldest and second sons take turns. She can also spare more time to study other ways to make money.
Meng Lan cleared her throat, and the second son He Chuanzong just happened to come into the house pulling a borrowed ox cart.
"Cough-cough-"
Meng Lan cleared her throat and began to speak.
"Today, Chuanzong and Tianshi, you go to the town to set up a stall. Chuanjia, you take the rice to the Fu family. I will take Tianci to the village chief's house. Now that my family has started to make money, I want to order some tiles and bricks to build a new house."
Meng Lan said this as she glanced around the several shabby thatched houses in her home.
I don't know if it was influenced by her original body, but she also felt a little reluctant and nostalgic. She sighed deeply, as if she was recalling the past.
"These thatched houses were built when your father and I got married. At the beginning, he said that he would build a few more houses in case there would be too much room for more children in the family. I didn't expect that he would be right.
We started with just two people and have grown to so many people now. It's a pity that he passed away early and couldn't see all this. Chuanzong, Chuanjia, Tianci, Erhua, when the house is built, come with me to burn some incense for your father so that he can know the good news."
Meng Lan's tone was calm, but she felt indescribably upset in her heart at this moment, and she didn't understand why this happened.
She and He Laoliu had never met before, and they were two strangers. If there was any connection, it was the body and memory of the original body.
She felt uncomfortable and touched, not because of He Laoliu, but because of... her original body.
The more she understood her original self, the more she could feel the cruelty of this cannibalistic society, and how her original self had been broken back over the years and succumbed to reality.
This society does not give people a way to survive, especially women.
The original body was not expected since birth, and was born with the wish to stop the sister and recruit a brother.
She resisted but to no avail, she gradually became the person she hated the most. Her daughters were still Dahua, Erhua and Sanhua, but her granddaughters became Zhaodi, Pandi and Liandi.
Perhaps the original body once regarded her husband He Laoliu as the only salvation in the darkness, but this light was eventually extinguished early, and she was assimilated into this society.
Meng Lan searched for the memories of her original self.
Ever since He Laoliu died, except for the first time her original body visited his grave, she has never been there again in all these years.
Of course, the original body was not so cruel as to let He Laoliu be a poor man down there.
Although no one knows why she refuses to visit He Laoliu's grave again, she will let her three sons visit He Laoliu's grave.
He Chuanzong was indescribably happy when he heard that his mother was finally going to visit his father's grave again.
After so many years, his mother was finally able to let go of the worry and move on.
He Chuanjia was so happy that he couldn't help but mutter in his heart that his father should have come into his mother's dream earlier, so that his mother could have become what she is now sooner.
When he got old and died and went to the underworld to see his father, he would insist on asking his father why he didn't come to his mother's dream earlier, causing them to live a good life so late.
The three brothers of the He family all listened to their own opinions. The eldest was busy worrying about his mother, the second was anxiously questioning his father, and the third was...
When He Tianci heard that his family would build a tiled house in the future, he stood behind Meng Lan, grinning with joy. He said that his mother would definitely give him the best and biggest one.
The three daughters-in-law are similar to their husbands. The eldest daughter-in-law, Tian, also feels sorry for her mother-in-law.
No matter how miserable she was, she could not suffer as much as her mother-in-law. After all, her husband was by her side and loved her. Her mother-in-law had to take care of so many children for so many years. She really couldn't imagine how her mother-in-law had survived all these years.
Meng Lan always felt that the way her eldest daughter-in-law looked at her was a little strange. Could it be that she had been tortured stupidly by her original body?
Thinking of this, Meng Lan felt guilty and wanted to take Tian to have her brain checked. Fortunately, her reason allowed her to control herself.
The second daughter-in-law Jiang was filled with regret. Her mother-in-law realized it so late. After all, they had wasted so many years...
It's nothing that the third room has taken advantage of me for so many years.
It's really heartbreaking!
Although Yang was washing dishes in the kitchen, she had already pricked up her ears to listen clearly when she heard people talking in the yard. When she heard that they were going to build a tile house, her hands trembled with excitement and she almost broke the bowl.
She said that she had good taste in choosing men and mothers-in-law, and that when she moved into a tiled house in the future, she would go back to her parents' home to show off.
He Erhua was looking at her mother's back in shock. Her mother had said yesterday that she would leave a room for her when the family built a house in the future. Unexpectedly...
Her mother really wants to build a house today.
Although He Erhua couldn't believe that her mother did this for her, her selfishness still made her unable to help but secretly fantasize that she was the reason why her mother wanted to build a new house.
All the children in Meng Lan's family looked at her in unison. Her face immediately turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed for being so sentimental.
So she quickly straightened her expression and said, "Okay, okay, I have arranged everything. Everyone, go and do your own things. Don't waste time."
After saying that, Meng Lan grabbed He Tianci and hurried towards the village chief's house, leaving only a blurry back for others.
