"That's fine, but it would be better if you could show us the drawings as soon as possible. As you know, we still need to think about your drawings."

Master Zheng put away the backup drawing that Qi Lingheng had made and put it in his arms.

"Yes, for sure. I will probably be able to finish it before the New Year." Su Tang nodded.

"Hey, Doctor Su, this young man said he came to see you."

Just when Su Tang and Master Zheng were about to go to the vacant land where the house was to be built, they heard the villagers shouting outside the Su family's yard again.

"Who is it?" Doctor Su thought that it was a villager from another village who came to see him for medical treatment, so he naturally opened the gate and looked at the person outside.

Because there is only one village doctor, Old Man Su, in the nearby villages, there are often people who come to see Old Man Su for medical treatment.

"It's this Young Master Qian." The villagers moved away, and only then did Su Tang and the others see the magnificent carriage parked outside the yard.

There was a young man sitting on the shaft of the carriage. He waved and greeted Su Tang from a distance.

Young Master Qian jumped down from the cart and ran to the door of Su Tang's house. "Doctor Su, we meet again."

Father Su: "When have I seen you before?"

"Well, we meet again." Su Tang responded with a smile.

When Father Su heard what Su Tang said, he turned around suddenly and pointed at the young man in fancy clothes outside the door: "This, is this the Young Master Qian?"

"Yes."

"You are also Doctor Su, right? Can I come in?" Young Master Qian asked Old Man Su with a gentle smile on his face.

"Yes, sure. Is there anything wrong with your body?" While making way, Father Su looked at Young Master Qian's expression.

Although the young man in fancy clothes looked a little pale, it was not sickly. It was probably because he seldom got sun exposure.

After leading the people into the yard, Old Man Su exchanged a few more words of greeting with the villager who led the way.

The villager just thought that he came to see Doctor Su as usual, so he left after talking to him for a few words.

After Young Master Qian entered the yard, he saw everyone working in the yard at a glance.

"Oh, I came at a bad time today. Doctor Su's house is quite busy."

"It's okay. Are you still feeling unwell?" Su Tang thought that Master Qian was coming to see her for treatment, so she asked with concern.

"No, I'm fully recovered now. I came here just to express my gratitude." After Young Master Qian finished speaking, two familiar-looking people, Caiyuan and Guangjin, followed him.

"Doctor Su, these are the thank-you gifts my young master prepared. Where do you think we should put them?"

Guangjin and Caiyuan were holding a huge wooden box, which looked to be quite heavy. As they walked over carrying it, the veins on their arms bulged.

"Let's put it over there first." Su Tang pointed to the door of the main house.

"Okay." Caiyuan and Guangjin moved the wooden box to the main house.

Fortunately, Master Zheng and his team's work has reached the final stage, and the yard is no longer as messy as it was a few days ago.

"Who is this?" Qi Lingheng asked as he watched his wife interacting with outsiders and seeing that she had no intention of introducing herself.

"A patient I treated before." Su Tang actually didn't know Mr. Qian's full name, so she could only introduce him like this.

"Oh, then let him sit in the main room quickly. Daddy will take another look at him later." Qi Lingheng said as he looked up at Old Man Su.

"Yes, you can." Although Young Master Qian just said that he was well, Old Man Su knew that Su Tang had received a large sum of medical fees. He was a little worried and thought it would be better to let the doctor take another look.

Old Man Su led Young Master Qian to the main house. Su Tang said to Young Master Qian, "I have something else to do. I'll go over later."

Young Master Qian glanced at Su Tang and Qi Lingheng, nodded, and followed Old Man Su into the main house.

"I'll go for a walk with my wife." Although Su Tang is already married, she will always be gossiped by the villagers if she is alone with a strange man.

Su Tang didn't think much about it. She nodded and walked towards the back door of the Su family.

Coming out of the back door of the Su family, there is a slightly flat hillside outside.

Apart from some scattered stones on the ground, there were only a few small saplings growing crookedly, and the rest of the place was covered with weeds.

The soil beneath this piece of land is very thin, and below that it is all rocky, making it unsuitable for farming.

Moreover, this place is too close to the mountains behind, so the villagers don’t like to build houses here.

“The foundation for building a house here is solid, but it will take some effort to level the area.”

Master Zheng stepped on the ground beneath his feet. Those places that looked like gravel might actually be connected to a single piece of stone.

Chiseling stone requires more effort than clearing ordinary land.

"Well, it does take some effort, but everyone's wages are negotiable." Su Xiaoxiao still had a lot of money in her hands, and she didn't plan to be idle these days.

Even for the sake of gaining access to the development space, Su Tang will continue to find patients to treat.

After looking at the foundation of the house to be built, Master Zheng also roughly understood the number of houses Su Tang wanted to build.

"Building so many brick and stone houses is rare in your village. You'd better build your courtyard wall higher."

Master Zheng and Old Man Su had been to the village chief’s house before and had seen the houses in Dahe Village.

In the whole village, only the village chief's family has built three brick and stone houses. If Su Tang built so many new houses, it would definitely arouse the jealousy of fellow villagers.

Who knows, someone might do something bad at that time. This often happens in rural areas. They just can't stand your family living better than mine.

Master Zheng has traveled to many places and has seen this kind of thing before.

"Yes, that's for sure. The bricks and stones chiseled here are just right for building the courtyard wall."

After the new house is built, Su Tang also plans to raise two dogs, which are much more reliable than people in guarding the house.

"These are to pay for the blueprints after this job. Madam Su, please come over."

Su Tang had already discussed the wages and material fees with Master Zheng and signed a written contract, agreeing that the payment would be made upon completion of the work.

However, this time Su Tang sold a few more pictures to Master Zheng, so in the end, Master Zheng still had to pay Su Tang again.

Shopkeeper Zheng took out a few banknotes and some small change from his pocket.

Su Tang took a look and saw that there were about seventy taels of silver. It seemed that Master Zheng had already planned to buy her drawings before he came, otherwise they would not have brought so much silver when they went out to work.

She happily took the banknote into her arms and said, "I'm done with work today. I'll make some of my specialties for everyone."

Now that she was in a good mood, Su Tang didn't mind making a delicious meal for these people.

"Haha, that's great, let us try your food.

To be honest, Madam Su, we have been craving for the food you have cooked these past few days."

When Master Zheng and his friends came, Su Tang said she would not take care of their meals.

The Su family did not hide their cooking these days. Although none of the men went to the kitchen to watch them cook, the aroma of the food wafted into their noses every day. They ate the dry food they brought with them while enjoying the aroma of other people's food.
