Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu spent half the morning ordering bricks, tiles and wood, and found the bricklayers who had built her new house before.

It is also a coincidence that these people have nothing to do and can start work tomorrow.

After agreeing on the structure of the house and the daily wages with the other party, Li Yu went home and tidied up the land on the left side of the house.

This piece of land belongs to Wang Dafu's cousin Wang Erfu. She did not sign the deed with Li Tiandi that day, and after leaving the village chief's house, she began to consider other land.

However, before she could think it over, Wang Erfu and his wife Bai came to her house on their own initiative.

They want to sell land.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Yu considered Wang Erfu's land, but she had seen how Wang Erfu and Bai Shi worked hard to fertilize the land, and knew that the couple valued the land more than anything else, so she eliminated this piece of land from her options.

As a result, they offered to sell it for only seven taels of silver.

Li Yu did not refuse the land that was delivered to his doorstep. He signed the deed with them and readily gave them an extra three taels of silver.

Li Yu stood at the edge of the field, imagining what the house would look like after it was built.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard behind me.

Li Yu turned his head and saw Li Tiandi right in front of him.

Li Tiandi stopped when he was two or three meters away from Li Yu.

"Xiu Wen's wife." He no longer had that arrogant expression on his face, but instead said in a flattering tone, "I'm here to sell the land."

Li Yu knew what he was thinking without even looking, and said, "I've already bought land, so I don't need to buy another one for now."

Li Tiandi's face changed drastically. "Xiu Wen, I know you are interested in my land. So, I am willing to sell it. You return Wang Erfu's land and buy mine instead. The price is still the same as we agreed at the beginning, ten taels of silver. As long as you give me ten taels of silver, the land will be yours."

When the business was gone, he knew to make up for it, but it was too late!

Li Yu shook his head. "I told you, I don't need it for now. You should sell it to someone else."

After that, she ignored him and walked quickly towards home.

Li Tiandi was unwilling to accept this, so he stepped forward to grab Li Yu. Li Yu dodged quickly and turned back to scold, "What do you want to do?"

"I want you to buy land. Xiu Wen's wife, Wang Erfu's land is not as solid as mine. It is not suitable for building a house. You should buy mine." Li Tiandi forced a smile, giving people an indescribable sense of incongruity.

Li Yu looked at him, raised his hand and whistled.

A few breaths later, a big dog jumped out of the yard.

Ah Fu ran to Li Yu and barked at Li Tiandi.

Li Tiandi stepped back in fear, "Don't come over here!"

Li Yu took a step forward and held Ah Fu's head, looking at Li Tiandi with sharp eyes: "I'll say it again, I've already bought the land, I don't need your land anymore."

Li Tiandi couldn't help imagining the dog's sharp fangs before him. He was so scared that his legs went limp. "If you don't want it, then... then don't want it. I won't sell it."

After saying that, he got up and staggered away.

"Woof woof." Ah Fu called out at his back.

"Good Afu." Li Yu rubbed its head and invited it to go home together.

Li Tiandi ran back home in one breath.

His wife was sitting in the yard sewing. When she saw him coming back, she immediately went to greet him and said, "Master, how is it? Do you still want your wife, Xiuwen?"

Li Tiandi's spirits miraculously recovered after he returned home. He glared at his wife and yelled, "She has already bought other people's land. It's all your fault. You gave me bad advice and made me raise the price, which offended Xiuwen's wife. Now, no one wants that land."

Li Tiandi's wife: "...How can you blame me? It was our son's idea to raise the price of the land. He said that Xiu Wen's wife is not short of money, so it's okay to ask for more. Besides, you thought it was a good idea at the time." Now that it hasn't been done well, he puts all the blame on her. What's the logic?

Li Tiandi: "He is such an evil creature, he can only do bad things!"

"Is the land still for sale?" Li Tiandi's wife asked, "Why don't we talk to Xiuwen's wife about it?"

Li Tiandi hung his face and said, "If you want to go, go ahead!" Xiu Wen's wife's dog was too scary, he didn't want to be bitten by that dog!

Li Yu didn't take Li Tiandi seriously and forgot about him after having lunch.

After lunch, some of the bricks and wood she bought were delivered, and she asked people to put them away.

A few days ago, there was a rumor in the village that Li Yu was going to build a new house. Some people didn’t believe it, but today when they saw her buying bricks, tiles and wood, they realized that the rumor was true.

Thinking that everyone who helped Li Yu last time had received benefits, some villagers immediately ran to Li Yu, both men and women, and when they saw Li Yu, they directly asked her if there was anything they needed help with.

Li Yu looked at Uncle Wu, Han Shui, Han He, Wang Dafu and Wang Erfu who were already helping to carry the wood, and said with a smile: "Thank you all for your concern. I don't need you here for the time being. Everyone go back first. I will call you if I need you later."

Some women were unwilling to give up and asked, "Xiu Wen's wife, will you provide lunch for the bricklayers this time?"

Li Yu looked at her and said, "Of course it's wrapped."

"Then let me cook. I'm not bragging, but I'm an excellent cook. I even cooked for a banquet two years ago."

As soon as this woman opened her mouth, other women followed suit and said, "I can do it too. I can cook very quickly and I can definitely make sure the masons have good food and drink so they can work harder."

"I'm familiar with the vendors in town. I can go there to buy vegetables and meat. It's definitely cheap."

These people did not hide their calculations at all. Li Yu curled his lips and said, "The cook has been found. Everyone go back first."

The smiles on the women's faces disappeared.

Li Yu didn't care about them at all. He said what he needed to say and left.

Several women: “…”

After a while, a woman said, "I think she doesn't like us, so she doesn't let us help."

"I was thinking about making some money with her this time. The ones who cooked last time made quite a bit of money."

"She didn't even give us a chance." The woman who said she could go to town to buy vegetables and meat pulled her handkerchief hard, her face twisted. She was short of money recently, so she wanted to take this opportunity to get some copper coins. If Li Yu didn't watch her closely, she might be able to hide some meat and take it home. But Li Yu ignored her.

Because the village chief's wives were busy with the dim sum business, Li Yu asked Lin, Wang Erfu's wife Bai and Pei Mingzhu's mother to prepare lunch this time.

The wages are the same as the last time we built a house, but because it is hot now, each person will be charged an additional three cents per day for high temperature.

These three people are all hardworking and diligent. Without Li Yu saying much, they all guarantee that they will do their job well.

As for supervision, the village chief has been busy lately, so Li Yu handed it over to Uncle Wu and Han Sheng.

In addition, Han Sheng was also responsible for helping her look after the bricks and tiles every night.

Thinking that there are many mosquitoes in summer, Li Yu gave some of the incense he made to Han Sheng, asking him to use it to repel mosquitoes at night.

After all, the last time he built a house was several months ago, and a lot of experience could be used, so Li Yu was completely relaxed when building the house this time.

But being too relaxed is not good either, as it can lead to accidents.

On the third day of the construction of the new house, Han Sheng, who was in charge of the bricks and tiles, had a conflict with someone early in the morning.
