The bad man who is a womanizer, go on a blind date in a hurry

Chapter 131 Don’t let the wealth go to outsiders

"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have said this." Lu Yao asked everyone to be patient.

"The reason why I dare to build a house is because I know the Song family now!

Let's do the math first. If we sell some of the gifts sent by the Song family, can we get at least several dozen taels of silver?"

Everyone looked at the gifts in the room again.

Putting aside other things, just the cloth and silk could be sold for at least fifty or sixty taels, right?

"In fact, these things in front of me are not the most valuable. The Song family gave me more than just these." Lu Yao said, and took out a wooden box from the gray bag she carried with her and handed it to her mother.

When Mother Lu opened it, her hands shook with shock.

There was ginseng in there!

“After all, there was a fight when I rescued Young Master Song. The elders of the Song family saw that I had suffered some physical pain, so they gave me some ginseng as a tonic.

I'm in a strong body, so I don't need to eat it. I'll take it home to honor my parents.

If you two are reluctant to eat them all, you can sell a few for silver.

I have asked around in the city before, and although ginseng of this quality is not as good as those that are thousands of years old, it can be bought at more than twenty taels per piece in pharmacies.

Look, is the money for building the house almost enough?"

Lu Yao got twenty ginsengs. Although she was very cunning and kept many for herself, she still took back six.

One stick weighs more than twenty taels, and six sticks are equivalent to one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty taels.

How can you not afford to build a large blue brick and tile house that costs only a dozen taels per room?

While everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the ginseng, Lu Yao came up with another shocking revelation!

She took out a few drawings and handed them to Mother Lu and Sister Lu.

"This is?"

Wooden windows, wooden doors, wooden tables and chairs, wooden cabinets?

Mother Lu and elder sister Lu, who were skilled in carpentry, knew at a glance that this was a blueprint for carpentry work.

"It's great to know the Song family! They recently built a house, and I took the opportunity to get it for my mother and eldest sister, and contracted the carpentry work inside.

The Song family is willing to spend money, and the only requirement is good craftsmanship. Mother and elder sister will definitely be able to do it, right? "

These wooden doors, windows, tables, chairs and other furniture are actually all for her new house.

Lu Yao lied again, putting the blame on the Song family and telling her family that it was the Song family who ordered it.

Her new house needed doors and windows installed, and furniture. It would be better to let her mother and elder sister, who were good carpenters, do it instead of buying them from others.

In this way, the money can be earned by one's family, which means that the money remains within the family.

Lu Yao thought about it and quoted a price that she could afford, which was also a price that made Mother Lu and Sister Lu's eyes light up.

"Hey Ergou, are you already related to the Song family?" The eldest brother-in-law saw through it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of saving people, Ergouzi got close to the Song family.

What kind of family is the Song family? They are the richest family in Ping'an County! As a matchmaker, my brother-in-law knows their status.

"Yes. I saved the young master of the Song family, which was an opportunity for me to get to know the Song family. It is easier to get things done with acquaintances. I was able to get the carpentry contract so smoothly because of this relationship." Lu Yao fooled her family into nodding their heads.

"Great! This way your sister and I will have work to do again. I think there's a lot of work and we can make some money. This will also be income for our family." Mother Lu said happily.

"Of course. We already have some money, and everyone can continue to earn money, so we can build this house." Lu Yao added:

"Mom, Dad, the Song family has a lot of businesses. I just found out this time that they also sell all kinds of building materials for houses.

I have already contacted the Song family. If we build a house, we will buy materials from them.

Because of this relationship, the Song family said they would give us an absolutely affordable price.

We spend less money on the same materials, and we can buy better materials at the same price. We can save a lot when building a house, and we can afford it more.”

This news made Lu's mother's eyes light up. As someone who knew how to build houses and do carpentry, she knew very well the importance of materials.

Lu Yao looked at everyone's expressions and knew that their families were already beginning to be moved, so she continued:

"In fact, this house is built for all of us. If the house is good, not only will everyone live comfortably, it will also bring honor to our family.

Apart from me, in a few years, Liuya, Qiya, Luhua, Luya, and the dozen or so younger ones will also be getting married one after another.

No matter how much money we have in our pockets, the fact that our house is made of bricks and tiles is a plus! It will be easier for our children to get married!

So, while we have the conditions now, we should build it quickly!"

The Lu family fell silent again. Mother Lu took a puff of her pipe and pondered carefully.

Ergouzi was right. If the family's house was completely replaced with a large brick and tile house, their status and worth in the village would be extraordinary.

It will be much easier for children to get married in the future. This is indeed a long-term plan, not a temporary enjoyment.

Just like the Chinese people in Lu Yao’s previous life, the people of Feng Dynasty also have an obsession with houses.

After saving money, the most important thing is to buy a house and land. Not only can it maintain its value, but it can also leave something for future generations.

Lu's mother is the elder and knows better the value of having a good house for the family.

It is not easy for ordinary people to save money. Building a good house often requires saving for many years and building it when one has the most money.

But if it is built well, it will at least benefit three generations.

Therefore, the renovated house proposed by Lu Yao this time was a perfect combination of the right time, the right place, and the right people, no matter from which point of view.

Mother Lu took a deep puff of her cigarette, as if she had made an important decision.

Lu Yao's eyes lit up, and she waited for the final word from her mother, the head of the family.

"I'll think about it again." Mother Lu said.

Lu Yao suddenly felt like she had to brake suddenly.

However, looking at my mother's expression, she should be moved, so it's not a big problem.

Lu Yao glanced at the other family members again.

It is obvious that Lu's second and third fathers are also willing to build a new house to live in.

Who would want to live in a low mud house when there is a bright and comfortable brick house to live in!

However, Lu Yao also realized that due to their status, these two fathers could not make decisions on major issues, and they did not dare to say much and only listened to their parents.

Sister Lu and brother-in-law are absolutely supportive!

Especially since my eldest brother-in-law is a matchmaker, he knows too well the impact of family conditions on matchmaking.

If a family has a good house, many fields, and a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-drawn cart, it is easier to find a marriage partner, and they can often find one with better conditions.

If the family really rebuilt a big tiled house, she has six children and they would all benefit from it.

Another person who can also benefit from this is Lu Lin, as she has eight children!

Lu Yao thought, if she could vote, she would definitely win!

"Dad, think about it and decide which ones you want to sell?" Lu Yao turned around and began to lobby her father.

Uncle Lu was still immersed in the important matter of building a big tile house, and he didn't react for a while: "What? What are you selling?"

"Sell the things the Song family gave me!"

Lu Yao smiled and gave a lot of suggestions.

For example, don't sell any grains, because selling them will only result in a loss of money. If you think it's too extravagant to eat them directly, buy some cheap coarse grains to mix with them. This way you can eat better than before and save money on buying grains.

For example, keep enough oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for one year, and sell the rest, mainly to prevent them from going bad.

Of course, Lu Yao’s annual portion is different from Lu Daddy’s annual portion.

For example, just keep all the cloth. It’s not like your family members don’t need clothes to wear, and the cloth can be stored.

A batch of silk can be sold, but enough must be kept for one's own needs.

After a while of blabbering, Uncle Lu gradually understood: "You asked me to arrange the sale, but you actually have already arranged everything, right?"

Lu Yao chuckled.

In fact, this time she used a roundabout way to save the country. She did not confront her father head-on. It seemed that she was following her father, but in fact she changed the way she led her father by the nose.

Most of those gifts were left behind without me noticing.

Father Lu: "You keep this and that, how can you sell them for money? How can you build a house?"

Lu Yao: "I have ginseng."

Ginseng is the biggest source of money.

Moreover, Lu Yao actually only brought back six ginsengs, and she kept fourteen of them for herself.

Besides, the Song family’s supplements include more than just ginseng, bird’s nest and deer antler, and she didn’t even mention it to her parents.

Let’s discuss the Lu family’s important matters here for now.

Next, Daddy directed the family to put everything in the room in order, while Lu Yao hurried back to the bedroom and checked under the bed when no one was around.

Reaching down, he found the silver bundle underneath was still there.

Lu Yao was relieved.

Next, take a shower, wash your hair, clean yourself up, and have a good sleep to replenish your energy.

Tomorrow, she will go to Xie's house to meet Master Xie, clean and beautiful.

Long time no see, I miss you so much.
