The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

If they continued to remain idle, they would probably become waste, and he would have difficulty finding a place to properly dispose of them.

Now he heard that the other party was going to build a house and the demand was huge, enough to consume all the wood at one time. He really didn't want to miss this rare business opportunity.

So Carpenter Zhang persuaded her earnestly, "Little girl, I have so many pine trees here, is there really not a single one that can be used? I am willing to make some concessions. You can take them back and sort them carefully. You can keep the ones that are usable, and you can use the unusable ones as firewood."

Su Yu frowned slightly, looking hesitant: "This..."

Carpenter Zhang eagerly interrupted and almost cut the price in half: "Five taels, five taels of silver. I have so much wood, you will definitely make a profit at this price!"

The corners of Su Yu's mouth rose slightly, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Carpenter Zhang's urgency was the best time for negotiation.

She remained calm on the surface and deliberately evaded the question, saying, "This is not a matter of money..."

Carpenter Zhang gritted his teeth and almost pleaded, "Four ounces, four ounces is my bottom line. Just consider it as a favor to help me solve this problem."

He made up his mind to dispose of the wood no matter what. Since the loss was inevitable, minimizing the loss was the best option.

Moreover, these timbers need to be rented out for warehouses every year, so selling them as soon as possible can actually save expenses.

Su Yu knew very well that purchasing such a large amount of wood with only four taels of silver was indeed an extremely good deal.

But that didn't stop her from using her bargaining skills.

"I'm really not interested in these woods, but since you said so, I'll consider it as a favor. As for the price, I can only offer three taels of silver at most. Boss Zhang, what do you think?"

After some inner struggle, Carpenter Zhang finally nodded in agreement. Although three taels of money was little, it was better than having nothing.

And Su Yu made an additional request: "Hey, you have to help me find a driver to transport these woods back to the village. I can't do it alone."

Carpenter Zhang was quite surprised that the price actually included transportation services? There were so many pieces of wood that the transportation fee was certainly high.

But in the face of Su Yu's firm attitude, he had no choice but to agree, thinking that instead of letting the wood continue to occupy space, it would be better to take this opportunity to solve this problem.

Xie Xinghua on the side was already speechless with astonishment. She couldn't believe that so much wood was sold for only three taels of silver. Moreover, even if there was some loss, the wood was more than enough to build several kitchens. How could she possibly use it all up?

Faced with Xie Xinghua's surprise, Su Yu simply responded with a smile without further explanation.

After the deal was done, Carpenter Zhang quickly arranged for horse-drawn carriages to load the timber. Together with Su Yu's own carriage, a total of seventeen carriages were needed to barely load all the timber.

The freight for each carriage was sixty coins, which meant that the transportation cost another one or two taels of silver. This made Carpenter Zhang feel very painful and regretted that he was too eager, which greatly reduced his profits.

However, he felt a little relieved when he thought about the fact that he could make some money from this transaction.

Soon, a team of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages drove into Liushu Village. Each carriage was loaded with wood, and the scene was spectacular.

The convoy finally stopped in front of the Jiang family's gate. Zhao and Jiang Xunzhong were stunned by the sudden spectacular scene.

“What on earth are we going to do with all this wood?”

They were full of doubts and were also shocked by the amount of money they would have to spend.

Two more unfamiliar faces appeared in the courtyard. Su Yu did not know them. Just as she was full of doubts, Xie Xinghua excitedly called out to her, "Second brother!"

It turned out that Xie Xinghua’s second brother was named Wang Dayong, and he came specially to help build the kitchen.

The young man next to him is his apprentice He Xi, who just turned seventeen this year and has been learning from Wang Dayong for four years.

Although his skills have matured and he can work independently, Wang Dayong often takes him to work and earn wages together because of his hard work and likable personality.

Su Yu and Xie Xinghua found a well-lit open space behind the house to stack the newly purchased wood. The direct sunlight helped dissipate the moisture in the wood.

The drivers worked together with Wang Dayong and He Xi to move the timber one by one to the designated locations.

Su Yu noticed the expression of surprise and inquiry on Zhao's face, so he responded with a subtle look, silently warning: This old woman had better behave herself and not play any tricks behind her back.

It was almost evening, and Su Yu and Xie Xinghua, who had been busy all day, felt exhausted and extremely hungry.

The loading and unloading of timber is a time-consuming operation, with loading taking two hours and unloading taking no less time.

The three little girls were not at home at this time. They must have gone out to herd the ducklings again.

Su Yu returned to the house, drank some water and took a short rest.

Jiang Ziling was about to ask about the origin of the wood, but was interrupted by Xie Xinghua who came into the house in a hurry: "Second sister-in-law, how can we use up so much wood?"

Xie Xinghua's doubts were not out of concern for money. After all, the investor was Su Yu. Her concern was purely out of curiosity about the uses of these woods. After all, such a large amount of wood would not really be used just as firewood, right?

Looking at the two curious faces in front of him, Su Yu's lips curled up into a gentle smile, and she whispered, "In fact, I have always had a dream, that is, to be able to save enough money to buy a new home for our little family. Now, by chance, I have come across such high-quality and low-priced wood. I can't help but think, why not just buy a piece of land and personally design and build a small courtyard full of our hearts, every brick and tile, every green leaf and red flower, can be arranged according to our preferences and imagination, what a warm and beautiful picture that would be."

After hearing this, Xie Xinghua's heart was like a sea of ​​flowers blown by the spring breeze, and flowers of joy instantly blossomed.

Indeed, this deal was like pie in the sky. Not only was there an abundance of wood and the price was only a few taels of silver, but even the transportation was undertaken by the other party. Such good luck was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and would be hard to find again in the crowd.

Their current home consists of just a few remote and simple huts, so crowded that even Xiao Xier cannot have her own little world. The family’s life seems particularly cramped.

What's more, it is very inconvenient for a young couple to live in the same room.

The most important thing is that if they can realize this dream, they can stay away from Zhao's annoying face and enjoy a peaceful and contented life.

As for Su Yu herself, in her contest with the hard-hearted old lady Zhao, she had made up her mind to persevere no matter how difficult it was.
