Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Soon the news that Yao Qingnian was going to build a house, a house made of blue bricks and tiles, spread throughout the village like a gust of wind, causing an uproar.

For a moment, people were talking about it. Some were envious, while others were jealous and speculated in a sarcastic way about where she got so much money: "She is a woman, her father-in-law is paralyzed in bed, and she has been running to the city recently. I'm afraid she has hooked up with some rich man to be her mistress."

"What nonsense are you talking about! You always think the worst of people. Haven't you heard that Yao Qingnian opened a shop in the city and made a lot of money?"

An old lady spoke up and said that she was the cousin of Aunt Yuan. Her family had taken note of the fact that Yao Qingnian had saved her niece's wife a few days ago, and they were thinking of visiting her to express their gratitude when they had the chance. When she heard others slandering Yao Qingnian, she scolded them.

"What's the big deal about building this little house? You know what stewed food is? She sells it at the entrance of the village. It's very popular in the city."

"You can't make that much money just by selling braised food, right?"

"You underestimate her! She also sells milk tea for fifty cents a cup, and her daily net income is over a hundred taels!"

“This… is simply too amazing!”

Uncle Yongshan announced that he would hire someone, and everyone was even more excited. Thirty cents a day! They could only envy this house, because hiring someone to help was related to them.

At this time, if you go to the city to look for work, you don't know if you can find it. Even if you do, you will be exhausted all day, plus the round-trip fare, and you will only make about 10 to 20 cents a day. Now, you can earn 30 cents without leaving the village. This is a great thing.

Someone immediately went to find Yao Qingnian, but Yao Qingnian said that he had entrusted the matter to Uncle Yongshan.

Soon, Uncle Yongshan's door was crowded with people, the threshold was almost trampled apart, and he was so busy that he was exhausted.

"What's the noise outside?" Mrs. Ge was lying under a tree for a nap to enjoy the cool air. The noisy noise outside woke her up. She asked in annoyance.

Lu Shuangshuang, who was concentrating on working in the yard, did not hear her mother's question and continued with her work.

"Lu Shuangshuang, are you deaf? You are like a taciturn person all day long. Who will dare to marry you in the future? I think I'd better sell you as soon as possible!" Ge got up, ran to the yard, grabbed Lu Shuangshuang's ear and scolded her.

"Mom, it hurts, it hurts, I'm working and not being lazy!" Lu Shuangshuang looked at her mother innocently. How could she have made her mother unhappy again?

"I'm asking you, what are you doing with all the noise outside?"

Lu Shuangshuang came back to her senses and said, "My uncle's family wants to build a house, so they asked Uncle Yongshan to help hire workers. People outside are looking for work."

Mrs. Ge was stunned for a moment before she realized that they were talking about Lu Mingchuan's family. She went back to lie down without caring, "Last time he paid back the money, he looked like he was dying. Lu Mingchuan is disabled, how could he have spare money? With their family, they built a few thatched houses and made such a fuss. Why are they making such a fuss?"

"How can it be a thatched hut? The whole village has heard that they are going to build a big house with blue bricks and tiles, and they are hiring people from the village to do the work, and the salary is 30 cents a day!"

"What! A big brick and tile house?"

Mrs. Ge was so shocked by the news that she jumped up from her chair. "Where did that loser Lu Mingchuan get the money to build such a nice house? He was so straightforward when I told him to divide the family property. Who knows, maybe that old man stole the money and gave it to him."

She knew her mother's character very well. Seeing that Ge was so angry, Lu Shuangshuang continued, "It wasn't my uncle and aunt who paid for the money. It was my sister-in-law's."

"Yao Qingnian? Where did this vicious woman get the money? Thirty cents a day for wages, bah! She has money to burn. They couldn't even pay five taels of silver when we asked them to. I'll see how they cry when she can't pay the wages!"

When it was time for dinner, a gleam of light flashed in Ge's eyes. She said to Lu Minghai, who was eating, "Lu Minghai, don't you know a little bit about bricklaying? Go find her tomorrow. You are her uncle, and I don't believe she dares to reject you. Isn't that bitch rich? Ask her to give you fifty cents a day!"

"Ge, are you too full and have nothing to do? Go to work in the fields tomorrow!"

Lu Minghai slammed the bowl on the table. This Ge was not ashamed enough and was always thinking about the trivial things in her brother's family.

"Why are you so fierce? You only know how to yell at your wife and children at home. If you have the guts, go find your brother!"

"Why are you going? I'm warning you, don't set your sights on the Mingchuan family!"

Lu Minghai put down his bowl and chopsticks and returned to Lu Daqing's room. Ge was becoming more and more unreasonable. Many years ago, in order to avoid her, they had slept in separate rooms.

Mrs. Ge looked at Lu Minghai's back as he left, and she was very angry. She didn't even eat and went back to her room, leaving Lu Shuangshuang sitting alone in the yard. She was used to it, so she didn't care too much and continued to eat.

After Ge returned to her room, she became angrier and angrier, so she came up with a bad idea: "Aren't they showing off? Then I will make their house restless! In a few days I will ask Ma Xiangu to come over and teach them a lesson!"

Ma Xiangu is a famous fortune-teller in the area. She can exorcise ghosts and tell fortunes. She has great magical powers and is very capable!

Li Rouer, who lived next door, was jealous when she found out about this, but when she heard that the wage was only 30 cents a day, she asked Huang Jiabao to go find Uncle Yongshan the next day.

After a few days of good life in the city, Li Rouer has been disliked Huang Jiabao since she married him. However, she is a little smart and she doesn't show it on her face: "Brother Jiabao, Yao Qingnian's family is building a house and needs to hire helpers. You see, we live a tight life and rely on mother's little coffin money to survive. Now there is an opportunity like this, just in time to make some money to spend."

Huang Jiabao has become more restrained since getting married. He no longer hangs out with his group of bad friends. But he stays at home all day, eating and doing nothing, which is even more annoying.

"Rou'er, do you want me to work for Yao Qingnian? No, no, I am Huang Jiabao, a well-known person. How can I work for a vicious woman like her?"

Li Rouer couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. A well-known person? How dare he flatter her? A country bumpkin, she forced a smile: "Brother Jiabao, Yao Qingnian caused us to lose such a big person in the village last time. If you go to help her build a house, you can teach her a lesson. Besides, she is offering thirty cents a day!"

"Thirty coins?" Huang Jiabao was a little tempted when he heard the silver. If he calculated it this way, he would have more than two taels of silver after the completion of the work! He could not get along with anything but the silver.

"Yes! Our son is going to be born at the end of the year, and we'll have to spend money then! Look, oops, he kicked me."

"Let me see, oh! That little brat is quite strong!"

Li Rouer played the emotional card and won Huang Jiabao over completely. He agreed to go find Shi Yongshan tomorrow.
