The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

In fact, as soon as the construction of the Yan family's house started, it attracted a lot of discussion, including envy and jealousy.

The villagers thought that the busy farming season was over and the Yan family would ask the men in the village to help.

But many days passed in the blink of an eye and there was no movement, so some people couldn't wait any longer and came to ask.

If people were afraid of the hunter Yan Zhenshen in the past, it was simply because he was tall and strong and they didn't want to offend him.

But Yan Zhenshen has never fought with anyone since the Yan family got into trouble when he was fourteen, so many people are not so afraid of him.

It is common to do some small things behind the scenes when making a joke.

But a few days ago, they witnessed Yan Zhenshen's skills again, so they didn't dare to get close to him.

So these people first went to ask the boss if there were enough people here. If there was a shortage of manpower, they would recommend themselves and it would be considered as helping the Yan family. Not only could they get wages but they could also sell it at a good price.

But the boss asked him to go find the master. What's the point of asking him about this kind of thing when he is working here?

Perhaps it was because the tone was not very good, which inevitably led to a quarrel.

These people didn't just leave. When they really came to Yan's house, they saw Yan Zhengdao twisting straw ropes in the yard and asked, "The foundation of your house is quite large. How many rooms do you plan to build?"

"It was all decided by the boss and Xiao Ge'er. I don't know the specific details of how it was built."

The villagers squatted on the ground and helped to twist the straw ropes: "I just came to ask if you need any help. I have nothing to do with planting seeds in the fields. I thought we are all from the same village, so why not come and help you."

"You have to ask the boss about this. He was the one who found the person." Yan Zhengdao didn't want to be the boss's boss. The house was built by the boss, so he just had to enjoy it. He should ignore any unnecessary matters.

Several people were unhappy when they heard this. They didn't want to face Yan the Hunter's cold face. What if he attacked them if they said something wrong?

And his son-in-law has a big mouth and he thinks he is right no matter whether he is right or not.

"Then forget it. We have good intentions. We are from the same village so we know each other well. We can also help keep an eye on the work so that the people we hire from outside don't work hard."

Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao happened to hear this when they entered the yard. He didn't say anything, but went to the backyard to tie up the cow.

Chu Xiao took over the conversation: "Uncle, what you said is true, but don't worry about this. We pay them to do the work, and if they don't do it well, we won't get paid. We originally wanted to ask the villagers for help."

Chu Xiao curled his lips and smiled: "But then I thought about it, we are all from the same village, if I want to pay you, you will be embarrassed to take it, if I don't pay you, isn't it our family taking advantage?"

This is indeed the case in the village. If a house is being built during the slack season, all the men in the village will go over to help. They will only work if they are provided with three meals a day, wine and meat. After the house is built, they will be given a red envelope.

But if you calculate it this way, it won't be much less than the wages, and in the end you still have to do favors and go to help other people when they have problems.

If it were eight years ago, the Yan family would definitely follow the village rules, but the situation is different now. In the past eight years, their family has had almost no contact with the villagers, so they have no such favors.

If it was a wedding or funeral, Zhao Guizhi would just go over, but building a house is something that only the men in the family can do. The eldest son has to go hunting, and the second son will probably rarely return to the village in the future. If he owes such a favor and cannot show up when others ask for help, he will be criticized.

Seeing that they were silent, Chu Xiao continued, "In fact, we can pay the villagers to come, but we are afraid that some will be willing and others will not. If we pay too much, we can't afford it. If we pay too little, it will be a disgrace to the villagers, and there will be a lot of gossip. Alas, Brother Shen and I have been living in the mountains, and we really don't understand the ways of the world. Could it be that this has caused the villagers to misunderstand something?"

Chu Xiao deliberately looked curious: "Are you saying that our family can't tell the directions now that we are better off, or are you saying that we are all fellow villagers but we are unwilling to help the village?"

The men were a little embarrassed. Someone in the village had indeed said this. They smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, we should go back to eat. We'll leave first."

"Then uncles, take care. If anyone in the village asks, just go back for me. If anyone is really enthusiastic and insists on coming, I welcome them."

The men also heard the sarcasm in Chu Xiao's words, and explained before leaving that they just came to ask questions and had no other intentions.

After the men left, Zhao Guizhi came out of the kitchen and looked at the men with disgust.

They are all about the same age as Yan Zhengdao. Even if they come to help, they probably won't be able to do much work and will have to be treated like masters.

"I think these people just want to take advantage." Zhao Guizhi was a little angry: "When our family built a wing room before, the eldest, second and Wang Wu worked hard for a month, but no one came to ask a question."

Zhao Guizhi only complained a few words and couldn't help sighing: "If you live a poor life, people will look down on you. If you live a good life, people will talk about you."

Yan Zhenshen came out from the selection, Chu Xiao helped to change the water, and replied with a smile: "There is always someone who understands things."

For lunch, Zhao Guizhi made stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, and also a dish of cold bamboo shoots with chili and vinegar, which was very refreshing.

After dinner, Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao processed the other bamboo shoots, and Zhao Guizhi wanted to make them into pickled bamboo shoots and take them to the mountain.

After washing the dishes, Yan Sanmei came out and saw the sudden increase in bamboo shoots in the yard. She was no longer surprised.

She also came over to help. Bamboo shoots should be eaten while they are fresh. If they are left for too long, they will become old and hard. Not only will they taste bad, but they will also be difficult to bite.

The pickled bamboo shoots can be eaten after two days in the jar. Zhao Guizhi cut the remaining ones into pieces and rinsed them with water before taking them out to dry in the sun.

Yan Sanmei was picking up wild vegetables and thinking about selling them in the county town. Chu Xiao did not object. In the afternoon, he went with her and got two baskets of bamboo shoots and dug up more than ten kilograms of wild vegetables.

Sprinkle some water on these and place them in a cool place, so they will be fresh when you go to the county town tomorrow morning.

Yan Zhenshen drove Chu Xiao to the county town to sell wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, and also bought some things to use in the mountains.

A house that has not been occupied for a long time may have a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants that have crawled into it, and they all need to be dealt with properly.

There were many people selling bamboo shoots and wild vegetables in the town at this time, but they could not get a good price. The wild vegetables were sold at two cents a bunch and had to be picked and chosen, and bamboo shoots were sold at one cent a pound.

Two baskets of bamboo shoots and wild vegetables were sold for only sixty or seventy cents. Chu Xiao wrapped them in a handkerchief and took them back to give to his third sister as pocket money.

He went to Doctor Hu again to buy some anthelmintic medicine and brought back twenty-three taels of dividends. In this way, the dividends from the Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills had exceeded forty taels.

Chu Xiao naturally returned the sign that Doctor Hu had placed on him.

Doctor Hu did not answer, but asked in an embarrassed tone: "How about I let you go for a while?"

Chu Xiao was puzzled.

Doctor Hu: "Give me another prescription, and we'll split it 50-50 this time."

Chu Xiao haha, he had already seen that this little old man still wanted his prescription, so he was just waiting to see how long he could hold it in.
