Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

At that time, Liu Qingyan was almost 19 years old, and her 16-year-old brother was about to get married. If she was not married by the time she was 19, she would be considered an old man.

In fact, when Liu Qingyan was sixteen or seventeen years old, many people came to propose marriage to her.

Liu Qingyan is good-looking and capable, and many people want to marry her.

Even when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, people would still go to his house to propose marriage.

But Liu Qingyan had a gambler father who owed a sum of money a few years ago.

His father got drunk and fell into the river and drowned, leaving a lot of debts to Liu Qingyan and his father.

The father and son managed the family's fields in an orderly manner, and sold all the crops to pay off their gambling debts.

He usually lives frugally, and when he reached a certain age, he didn't even have a decent piece of clothing.

If Liu Qingyan got married, all the burdens would be left on her father alone, but Liu Qingyan refused.

Liu Qingyan said that whoever wanted to marry him would have to pay back the money his father owed.

Those who like Liu Qingyan are not willing to spend so much money for this good-looking guy with a mild appearance.

Ye Cun married Liu Qingyan for eight taels and eight cents of silver.

Liu Qingyan asked for eight taels of silver. Seeing that such a good young man was going to marry their son, Ye Cun's parents thought that if they used the silver to pay off all the debts, there would be nothing left to buy wedding clothes, so they added another eight hundred coins to make it a lucky number.

When Ye Cun said this to Lin Jingsheng, there was a bright smile on his face, as if he had gotten a great bargain.

But isn't that right, I got such a handsome husband.

After getting married, the family lived a happy life.

Ye Cun felt that he was missing half a leg, and marrying such a good man was a waste of his time, so he treated Liu Qingyan very well.

Liu Qingyan didn't dislike Ye Cun's legs either.

Ye Cun lost half of his leg and could not work in the fields, but he had good skills in weaving bamboo and was a hardworking person. If they separated in the future, he would reluctantly take them both in.

Besides, he is capable. He did a lot of work in the fields when he was at home.

In my free time, I would go to the town to work for others, cooking and washing dishes.

The two fell in love after they got married.

Jiang Ci: "Their future life will get better and better."

Lin Jingsheng: "Well, I'm done. Go to bed. It's getting late."

Jiang Ci responded and lay down. Lin Jingsheng broke the wick of the oil lamp, and the faint light in the room disappeared.

Feeling that this was someone else's lying down, Jiang Ci turned over and thought about this problem again.

"Why hasn't Cousin Ye Bei married yet? He's not bad, and he already has several children his age."

"When Ye Bei came to deliver the toothbrush, Mom asked him about this."

A few years ago, when Ye Bei's parents, uncle and aunt went to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to Ye Cun.

At that time, Ye Bei had reached the age to get married, and many matchmakers wanted to find a partner for him.

Ye Bei told those people that he would only propose marriage if his brother Ye Cun got married. Perhaps he felt a little guilty about Ye Cun's military service, so he said that.

But Ye Cun has been married for almost two years, and Ye Bei is still not married.

Getting married at the age of seventeen or eighteen is too early. One is still a teenager and his mind is not yet settled.

After a few more years, maybe I have become more mature.

Ye Bei said that he wanted to find someone he liked, or someone he felt would be like Ye Cun and Liu Qingyan, with whom he would fall in love over time.

He didn't want to just find someone to marry, have children, and then earn money to raise the children.

Ye Bei said that if he couldn't find the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with in the next year, he would ask his parents to find him a girl or boy to marry.

Jiang Ci: "I totally agree with cousin Ye Bei's idea."

Isn’t this the concept of marriage in modern times? People want to find someone they like or at least someone they are compatible with to marry.

Instead of a blind date, it's like getting married after only meeting each other a few times.

Lin Jingsheng didn't like what Jiang Ci said.

Xiang Qian hugged Jiang Ci and said, "I agree with his idea. Isn't it good for us to do this?"

Jiang Ci was so amused by his resentful look that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It's fine for us to do this, but before getting married, I found out a lot about you. I agreed to get married because I thought we could get along well in the future."

Lin Jingsheng obviously did not expect this.

"Aci also asked about me!"

"Well, I'm going to sleep. I'm sleepy. Don't hug me. You're hot."

Lin Jingsheng was happy and agreed with whatever Jiang Ci said.

……

The wasteland over there has been cleared, and earth bricks have been transported in continuously this morning.

Jiang Ci: "Dad, find more people to build the house. After all, it will take a few days before it can be used."

Lin Shan: "Okay, find more. There are many people in this village who can build houses."

Any man in the village can lay earthen bricks, and with more people the work can be done faster.

Lin Shan found a master in Liushu Village who specializes in building houses for people and has many skills.

There are five of them here, and we can just look for the rest in their village.

All the people have been found, and they are digging the foundation and trenching in the area circled by Jiang Ci in the wasteland.

Jiang Ci brought the detailed blueprint he had drawn and went with Lin Jingsheng to show it to Liu Mu, the main person in charge of building the house.

Liu Mu is a big man in his thirties.

Lin Jingsheng: "Master Liu, let me tell you what kind of factory my family wants to build."

Liu Mu: “Okay.”

Liu Mu put down the work in his hands and followed Lin Jingsheng and Jiang Ci to the tree on the side of the road.

Lin Jingsheng: "Let my husband tell you."

Jiang Ci handed Liu Mu a piece of paper with a three-dimensional picture drawn on it.

"Look, this is what our factory looks like."

Liu Mu felt fresh when he saw such a drawing for the first time. "It's the first time I've seen such a drawing, but it's clear at a glance."

It roughly indicates how high the wall should be and how long the house should be.

"This kind of house is easy to build, it doesn't require much technology."

Jiang Ci handed Liu Mu another drawing, which was a cross-sectional bird's-eye view.

It specifically marks where the windows and doors are, as well as their sizes.

Jiang Ci: "Master Liu, please take a look at what's not right, and we'll discuss how to modify it together."

Liu Mu: "Okay, I'll take a closer look. If there are any problems in the future, I will definitely discuss it with you."

Liu Mu looked at it for a while and pointed out a problem to him. "Look, there are quite a few windows on the walls of this room, but the size of the middle window is too big. It will be difficult to repair it in the future. It is better to change it into two small ones."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master Liu."

Liu Mu: "The brush used in this picture doesn't look like a brush."

Jiang Ci: "I am ashamed. I am not good at painting with a brush. I used the charcoal burned at the bottom of a pot and sharpened it to draw this."

Yanagi: “That’s a great idea.”

They don’t need to worry about building the house anymore.
