What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.
Chapter 31: Being a man cannot be like Jamel Xiao
Ye Tang is going out after dinner.
"Where are you going?" Jamel Xiao asked, leaning against the door frame like a young wife.
Ye Tang said without even turning his head: "I'm going to discuss building a house with Uncle Wang."
Wang Shuquan's full name was Wang Chenggong. He married Liu Xiu and had two sons and two daughters. His eldest son, Wang Dahu, was exiled and has never returned.
Wang Chenggong is the best person at building houses in the village. Whenever a family in the surrounding villages wants to build a house, they will look for him.
Wang Chenggong has not taken any orders recently and did not go out today. He was weeding in the corn field not far from his house. His wife Liu Xiu and children were also there.
"Huh? Isn't that Ye Tang?" Liu Xiu looked up and wiped the sweat off his forehead, and happened to see someone walking towards him not far away.
"What is she doing here? There is no Xiao clan's land here." Wang Erhu was very puzzled.
The Xiao clan's land is generally concentrated in the south, so they won't go this way when they go up the mountain to chop firewood or look for wild vegetables.
"Uncle Wang!" Ye Tang waved at Liu Xiu and others from a distance.
Liu Xiu immediately looked at his man and said, "I came to see you."
"Uncle Wang." Ye Tang came over jogging: "I need your help with something."
Wang Chenggong put down the hoe in his hand and walked out of the field: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"I would like to ask you to help me build a house. Do you have time recently?" Ye Tang said politely.
Wang Chenggong was a little surprised: "I definitely have time, but didn't you and Jamel Xiao just get married? Why are you thinking about building a house?"
Ye Tang smiled and said, "The old house is really old, the pillars are rotten, and it often leaks. It is very uncomfortable to live in, so I want to build a new house while I still have a little spare money."
Wang Chenggong didn't ask any more questions: "Oh, so that's it. OK, I'll take the job. When will the work start?"
"The day after tomorrow, I'll draw on paper what the house will look like."
"Okay, let's put it this way then."
"The matter of wages..."
Wang Chenggong has been building houses for more than ten years and has her own connections and workmen. The number of workers and materials needed to build a new house is entirely decided by Wang Chenggong. She only needs to draw the structural diagram of the new house.
Ye Tang quickly discussed the house building matters with Wang Chenggong and then said goodbye and left.
Watching her gracefully walk away, Liu Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "Old Wang, have you noticed that after Ye Tang got married for the second time, she seems to be more energetic than before."
Wang Erhu said: "Brother Jingxuan treats her well, so of course she is in high spirits."
Liu Xiu snorted coldly, "Is Jamel Xiao good to her? If he is really good to her, why doesn't he come to your father to discuss building a house? He should be the one to do this kind of thing. Why does Ye Tang do everything? He is not dead. He is so useless!"
Women would only step in to deal with this kind of thing when there is no man in the family. Poor Ye Tang, after leaving Xiao Zhong, the unfaithful man, she was dragged down by Xiao Jingxuan. Anyway, none of her men were reliable.
She looked at her son with a warning: "I'm telling you, don't learn from Jamel Xiao. Our family can't afford to support a lazy man!"
Xiao Jingxuan is lucky. He is supported by the Xiao family's suckers, and he starts to take advantage of his age at a young age.
Wang Erhu curled his lips: "I won't learn from him!"
His eldest brother didn't come back, and he was the only son in the family. If he became like Xiao Jingxuan, his parents would be so sad. How could he support his two younger sisters when they got married in the future?
When Ye Tang returned home, Jamel Xiao had already cleaned the pots and pans and the kitchen, but no one knew where he had gone.
Ye Tang did not go to look for it. She returned to the room and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed. Inside was her dowry.
She opened the wooden box and took out paper and pen, which she asked Ye Ping'an to buy.
Ye Tang found a wooden table, wiped it clean, put paper and pen on it, ground ink and started to draw the design for the new house.
In less than half an hour, she had drawn her ideal new house.
After estimating the price, he decided that the money he had should be enough.
After putting away the drawings, Ye Tang continued to dig the vegetable patch in the yard and loosen the soil. Her father was born with supernatural powers, as strong as an ox. She and her brother inherited their father's supernatural powers, and her strength was even greater than that of her father and brother. Others thought she was a weak woman, but in fact she was not weak at all.
But even though she was so strong, she was exhausted from digging the vegetable field and missed China's plowing machines and planting tools very much.
The yard is very large, and the vegetable plot is nearly half an acre.
Ye Tang went to Ziyan Mountain to cut bamboo poles and enclosed the vegetable garden.
It was already past noon when she finished all these. Ye Tang was a little hungry. Fortunately, there was some rice left in the kitchen from last night. She fried some egg fried rice and used up the last two eggs in the house.
She really likes egg fried rice, which she never gets tired of.
It would be even better if there were some pickled chili peppers, but unfortunately there were no chili peppers in the Yuan Dynasty. But it doesn’t matter, she can grow her own.
Then he looked around the yard. Xiao Jingxuan even had to be raised by others, let alone raise pigs, chickens and ducks, so there were no pig pens or chicken coops in this old house.
Her big yellow ox did not come with her when she got married, and is temporarily being raised by her father and younger brother. As for the big water buffalo that Xiao Jingxuan rode to welcome the bride, that was the cow bought for Xiao Jingxuan by her fifth brother, and is temporarily being raised by her fifth brother. Once the cowshed is built, she will have to bring the cow back to raise it herself.
Ye Tang felt that he had too much to do. Just the housework would take several days.
Ye Tang cut down some tree trunks and used them together with stones to build a simple chicken coop. Then he went to Master Xiao Wu to buy old hens and ducks.
Old Mrs. Zeng was very happy to see her coming, and gave Ye Tang the two old hens that laid the most eggs and two fire ducks.
Ye Tang insisted on paying: "Fifth sister-in-law, we agreed to let my husband and I be self-reliant, you can't refuse to pay, otherwise I won't buy from you anymore."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll take it, I'll sell it to you according to the outside price, okay?" Old Mrs. Zeng said with a smile.
She pulled Ye Tang to sit down and asked, "Do you get along well with Lao Liu?"
Ye Tang nodded: "Very good."
Mrs. Zeng didn't see any dislike for Jamel Xiao in her eyes, and smiled with satisfaction: "It's fine, it's fine, Old Six is a weird person, I'll have to work hard for you in the future, if you need any help, just come to Sister-in-law Five, although I'm old, but my descendants are very obedient and can be ordered around."
"Well, thank you, Fifth Sister-in-law." Ye Tang gave the old lady a hug: "You are really nice."
She told the old lady about building the house.
Mrs. Zeng agreed: "Building a house is a good idea! The old house has been in a state of disrepair for a long time. My husband and I have long wanted to build a new house for Lao Liu, but he doesn't want to. He says that the old house has the smell of his father and he is used to living there and doesn't want to move. By the way, does Lao Liu agree to build a new house?"
"I agree. He said I have the final say."
"That's good." Old Mrs. Zeng smiled with relief: "If you need help building a house, just come and find Wen Chao and his men. The young men have plenty of strength."
Ye Tang did not stay long with the old couple. When he came out, he was stopped by several children from the Xiao family and was given a basket of vegetables, including beans, eggplants, cabbages, and small melons.
"It's really rich, thank you!" Ye Tang looked at these children lovingly. The youngest of them was only two years old.
It was already dusk when they got home, and Xiao Jingxuan hadn't come back yet. Ye Tang locked the chickens and ducks in the shed, threw some vegetable leaves for them to eat, and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
Jamel Xiao followed the smell of food into the house as if he had a dog's nose.
"My wife, I'm back!" Xiao Jingxuan looked weak when he walked out of the yard. After smelling the fragrance of the food, his feet instantly turned into hot wheels, and he came to the dining table like a gust of wind.
Ye Tang brought the dishes to the table: "Wash your hands and eat. Wash the dishes after eating, and chop the firewood, otherwise there will be no firewood tomorrow morning."
She didn't ask where Jamel Xiao went or what he did.
Jamel Xiao was very resistant: "Still want to chop wood? I'm good enough at chopping wood."
Ye Tang pointed at the food on the table and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
"think."
"If you want to eat, chop wood."
Jamel Xiao: “…”
