After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

Seeing that her man had been silent for a long time, Fang Cuihua simply spoke.

"Daniu, Guangdan is right. I know what you are thinking, but we have not split up. The pickles are made by Guangdan and the second son's wife together. If I ask you to go to the market and shout about pickles to people coming and going, can you do it? I can't do it anyway!"

Fang Cuihua's words hit the nail on the head for Lin Daniu. He was a man who cared about his reputation, and he would never do something like shouting on the street!

People are strange, they are not big shots, but they are so concerned about their reputation! !

Large stones are needed to build the foundation. There are plenty of stones in the nearby mountains, and no copper coins are needed. Villagers can collect them at will.

Apart from not being able to buy and sell, it is still possible to build your own house, but it requires strength.

The stones collected by the Lin family were far from enough to build the foundation, so in the first few days, in addition to digging the foundation, some people went to collect stones.

This was real physical work, so Cao Lian did not hesitate to cook with Erya and Taohuaer. Although the following staple food was not as good as the first day, it was enough to fill people up.

It is not easy for the strong men in the village to have enough to eat. Who can eat as much as they want at home every day these days?

Fortunately, this was just after the double harvest, and the Lin family still had some considerable profits after deducting the grain tax.

But in fact, it’s not because the harvest this year is so good, but because we don’t have to sell grain to buy medicine for Old Man Lin this year, so we feel that there is enough food.

Another point is that Guangdan seriously suspects that it may be because everyone does not eat oily food on a daily basis, so it seems that no matter how much they eat, they cannot gain weight and they are all skinny.

The stomach is more like a bottomless pit with no end.

Originally, Cao Lian stewed cured rabbit at the beginning, but later she started to make cured rabbit soup, with two large pots full of it every day.

For lunch, everyone brought their own bowls, one for the staple food and one for the meat soup, with some seasonal vegetables, and they were very satisfied with the meal.

After all, there are few people who are willing to feed their family meat these days. The Lin family's initiative has also encouraged the villagers to work harder.

A few days later, Daya came back packed up her bags, and there was another helper in the kitchen.

As for Fang Cuihua, she has basically been doing physical work during this period. She is not bragging, most of the men in the village are not as strong as her!

This time, Fang Cuihua, her brother and nephew from her natal family all impressed the people of Linjia Village. Apart from anything else, their hard work was so enviable.

Naturally, there were some sour remarks from women, but Fang Cuihua didn't take them seriously at all.

Guangdan often feels that this is his mother's insensitivity, and it is also her wisdom in life.

While building the house, Fang Erlangzi worked with an old carpenter from Linjia Village to make doors and windows. Curious Guangdan worked diligently as a laborer on the side for many days.

At that time, carpentry work did not require any screws, and all structures were mortise and tenon structures, which relatively speaking still required some brainpower. This also caused Guangdan to have some new views on his brother-in-law again.

Craftsmen these days really have real skills and real techniques, and they are not pretentious at all.

Just like the furniture these days is all made of solid wood, without any fake elements, Guangdan originally thought he had a lot of ideas, but after working as a laborer for a few days, he felt like he was just showing off his skills.

I really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is that I think I can give my brother-in-law some advice. I feel ashamed when I think about it.

At the same time, he realized that everyone's wisdom was far beyond his imagination. Guangdan once again warned himself in his heart that he must not feel superior just because he was a time traveler.

These ancient civilizations are by no means worse than what we know. Their current existence may not be advanced, but they are the most suitable for this era.

Just when Fang Erlangzi thought that his brother-in-law might be interested in carpentry and was about to mention it to his father-in-law, Guangdan turned his attention back to building the house.

There were not enough earthen bricks at home, so we took a lot from my great-grandfather’s house. We can just make more earthen bricks and return them later.

Finally, three bright houses were built. Everyone in the village felt that the Lin family had finally had some good luck, after all, the Lin family was extremely poor in the early years.

But the reality is that when you are poor, others will sympathize with you, but when you live a good life, others will feel uncomfortable.

Just when the Lin family was building their house in full swing, some rumors about the Lin family gradually spread in the village.

"Alian, is this true? I heard that your sister-in-law brought people to snatch prey from Yaozi?"

"Yes, yes. No wonder Yaozi looked unhappy these past few days."

Cao Lian, who was washing vegetables by the river, pursed her lips when she heard this, then turned and looked seriously at the two aunts who were looking at her with relish.

"Where did you get that? Although I don't know how to hunt, every hunter has his own mark in the mountains. Besides, my sister-in-law's family is also a famous hunter. My sister-in-law would never do something that goes against the rules."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to wash the vegetables in his basket.

"Haha, we just heard about it. It's no wonder that others say that your family's life has changed so quickly."

What this aunt meant was, how come we were so poor before, but now our lives are suddenly getting better?

Everyone in the village thinks they are wise, except for the sickly old man in the Lin family. He looked like he was about to die in the past few years, but look at him now!

If I say that I didn’t eat anything nutritious, who would believe me?

"Life is better now, mainly because the calf and the dog have grown up. With more labor at home, things are naturally better than before. My family was poor before, not because of laziness or gambling, but because the elderly in the family were in poor health and there was not enough labor. Now things are better."

Cao Lian explained while suppressing her anger.

But who doesn't understand this truth? But everyone still prefers to explain it as malicious intent.

At this time, Cao Lian even felt a little cowardly. If it were her sister-in-law, she would have scolded the person away long ago.

Then I thought, these people would not dare to mention these things in front of my sister-in-law. People always look for the weak to pick on, and am I not the weak one who is easily picked on?

"I think you should be more careful with your words. Although I don't know whose words just came from, if my sister-in-law heard it, she would definitely go and ask for an explanation. She has a straightforward personality, as you know."

In the end, Cao Lian was still a little unwilling to accept the result, so she used Fang Cuihua to intimidate these talkative women a little.

But I kept this matter in my heart.

There are only two hunters in the village. Yaozi is the family from which Fang Cuihua often borrowed a butcher knife in the past. His family has always had a good relationship with the Lin family. If they develop a rift because of some rumors at this time, it would not be good.
