After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Chapter 12 Building a House for Miss Rongrong

She has a lot of things in her space that can be sold.

The most inconspicuous and easiest to sell is the powder box that has been used but not thrown away yet.

There is also a glass mirror inside for easy touch-up.

Nowadays, all mirrors are made of bronze.

Not only is this thing not cheap, but even if it is made small, it is not as easy to carry as her powder box...

At this time, at the village chief's house, Liu Quan looked at Baili Zheng with disbelief in his eyes and asked for confirmation:

"Master Baili, what did you say just now? I may be old and hard of hearing, so I didn't hear it clearly."

Baili Zheng knew Su Rongrong's situation.

Having already made up his mind to stay close to his benefactor, he patiently stated his request again.

"Village Chief Liu, you heard it right!

I want to buy some land here to build a house, and by the way, I want you to allocate a smaller piece of land next to my house and build it for Miss Su Rongrong to live in!"

Liu Quan opened his mouth for a while before finding his voice and asked:

"Master Baili is planning to give the house to Rong for free after it's built?"

There is such a good thing?

What’s the difference between this and pie in the sky?

But it's very strange, why would Master Baili want to give a house to Rong girl?

Baili Zheng has been in this era for more than two months and knows how important a woman's reputation is nowadays.

Seeing the doubt and inquiry in Liu Quan's eyes, he thought of the background of Su Rongrong, an important cannon fodder, mentioned in the book, so he said:

“To be honest with you, Village Chief, Su Rongrong’s mother was a close friend of my cousin when she was alive.

When my cousin found out that my father was coming here to take up the post, she specifically begged my mother to let her take care of Su Rongrong's family.

I had nothing to do, so I came here first, but who would have thought that I would run into something like this.

Originally, I planned to find time to visit them after I got settled here.

The original plan was to give them some cloth, cakes or something like that if their family was doing well.

If they are not living well, leave a few taels of silver so that they can live better in the future.

But I never expected that her family would be in this situation now."

Baili Zheng said this while observing Liu Quan.

Seeing that he seemed to believe it, I continued, “Although my family is entrusted, I am still an outsider after all.

As long as no one reports it to the authorities, it is not appropriate for me, an outsider, to interfere too much in their clan affairs.

Now she is separated from her supporting family and lives here alone without even a place to live.

I thought since I was planning to build a house myself, why not build two for her as well? "

Liu Quan was skeptical the whole time. Baili Zheng's words sounded reasonable to him, but also weird.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Why would Master Baili want to buy land and build a house here?

Our Sujia Village is located in a remote area, and it is not easy to go into the city.

Even with an oxcart, it would take an hour to get there."

Baili Zheng's so-called cousin was just an excuse he made up.

He thought that if he said that, Liu Quan would not dig into the matter.

Who would have thought that he was wrong.

There was no one here, so he just said frankly:

"Village Chief Liu, to be honest, I came here because the master of Huangjue Temple told me to do so.

He said that my benefactor was right here, and as long as I stayed close to him, I would no longer be unlucky.

I just got here yesterday afternoon. I think you saw how unlucky I was.

Since I helped Miss Rongrong last night, my unfortunate situation has improved.

Now I am sure that she is my benefactor.

In this case, it is reasonable to give her a house.

As for my decision to build a house here, it's just to be closer to her.

To be honest, I have been really unlucky in the past few months.

If you don't get closer to her, or help her more.

I’m afraid that I might die in the next moment…”

If Liu Quan hadn't seen with his own eyes yesterday how Baili Zheng fell and how his arm was broken by the horse's hooves.

At this moment, he would definitely not believe these exaggerated words.

But Baili Zheng was so miserable yesterday that it was hard for him not to believe it.

So now he pondered for a moment and said, “Well, I understand.

If you want to build a house, as long as you have money, you will have no trouble finding someone to do it.

As for covering it for Rong, you have to ask her first.

Also, when the time comes, tell everyone in the house that Rong's mother and your aunt are close friends.

It was your cousin who found out about her situation and felt sorry for her because she didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so she paid for it to be built!"

No matter whether others believe it or not, this is the fact.

Even if Master Baili helps Miss Rong again in the future, others will think that he is taking extra care of her because he is an elder.

As for things like masters predicting your fortune, you can’t tell anyone about it.

Otherwise, given the character of the villagers, especially the Su family, who knows how much trouble they will bring to Rong girl!

Baili Zheng got a positive answer from Liu Quan, then took out a blueprint from his arms and handed it over.

"I'll let Da Hu go with you to look at the land tomorrow. As for the house, just build it according to the blueprint above.

I want to build a brick house. As for the silver needed, you have to give me a rough figure.

For example, you need to have a rough estimate of labor costs and material costs.

In this way, I can also give you an advance of some money."

After he finished speaking, he used his good hand to pull out a twenty-liang silver note from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.

"This is the deposit. We'll give you the exact amount you need later!"

Liu Quan was holding a twenty-liang silver note in one hand and the blueprint in the other, and was very excited.

The village can sell land and still have work to do. I think those families who are short of money and can be exempted from corvée labor will be very happy.

Divide the money from the sale of the land, and advance the money for the work.

If we grit our teeth and put our efforts together, at least half of the people in the village can be exempted from this corvee labor.

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and went out in a hurry.

He had to find Su Rongrong first and tell her that Baili Zheng was going to build a house for her.

By the way, I went to find a bricklayer and a carpenter to calculate the approximate amount of money needed to build the house.

In addition, we have to look carefully for any vacant land in the village that is large and suitable for building a house.

As long as the land is large, it can be sold for a lot of silver.

Correspondingly, the house is bigger, it takes longer to build, and the number of working days will also increase...

Su Rongrong didn't expect that he would come over before she went to find the village chief.

When he saw someone, he said, "Rong girl, Master Baili said that your mother and his cousin are close friends.

Before he came, he was asked by his cousin to come and see you.

Your family is in this situation now and you don’t even have a house.

According to the instructions of his elders, he wants to build two houses for you here. What do you think? "

After Liu Quan finished saying this, not only the people in Tao Ya's family, but even Su Rongrong herself was a little stunned.

She tried hard to think about the original owner's memory, and only knew that her mother was married by her father from outside.

From childhood to adulthood, she has never seen her maternal grandparents, and her parents always say that they are not closely related.
