Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

When Qin Ying came back in the evening, she found that the Zhou sisters seemed to be more cheerful, but she was not the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's privacy, so she did not ask any further questions. Anyway, it was a good thing.

Two days later, Zhao Hu excitedly told his family that he wanted to go out for a while. "Master Zhou is selecting people to send out on errands!"

Aunt Zhao was a little reluctant, but she also felt that it was a good thing that her son was now valued by Lord Zhou. The Zhao family might have a bright future from now on!

He did not object, but said: "Since Lord Zhou is willing to accept you, you must work harder and be worthy of Lord Zhou's trust."

"Uncle is the best!" An An quickly jumped up and down, "Uncle is awesome!"

Zhao Hu was so happy that he picked the person up, threw him into the air, and caught him steadily.

Aunt Zhao quickly scolded him, "You're asking for trouble! Don't play like that! What if you fall?"

Zhao Hu stuck out his tongue and said, "Mom, this is my skill, right? Are you still worried?"

"Well, I'm worried!" Aunt Zhao snatched An An away and said, "You can't play like this! Didn't I tell you before..."

"Oh, oh, oh," Zhao Hu scratched his ears, feeling calluses forming on them, "wasn't it just someone from such and such village who accidentally dropped his son to death while playing hurling?

"He's incompetent! Your son, I'm capable..."

"Just shut up!" Aunt Zhao freed a hand and slapped him on the back of the head. "What's the matter with saying less?"

Zhao Hu rubbed the back of his head and winked at An An.

An An said like a little adult: "Uncle, I think grandma is right!"

Zhao Hu mouthed to her: "You little traitor!"

An An immediately hugged Aunt Zhao's neck and complained: "Grandma, my uncle scolded me!"

Aunt Zhao raised her leg and kicked.

Zhao Hu jumped up and ran away, pointing at An An: "You little ungrateful bastard! Your uncle loves you in vain!"

An An made a face at him: "Lululu!"

The Zhou sisters looked at it and couldn't help laughing. What a great atmosphere in this family!

After a while of making a fuss, Aunt Zhao put An An down and patted her head: "Go play, grandma will help your mother cook."

An An ran towards Zhao Hu, opened his arms and shouted, "Uncle, fly!"

Zhao Hu said with disgust: "Isn't this the time for you to betray me?" But he had already hugged his little niece in his arms, one hand around her upper abdomen, the other around her chubby legs, and shouted "Fly", and ran around the yard.

An An opened his arms and flapped them as if he was flying. "Oh oh, I'm flying!"

While cutting vegetables, Qin Ying smiled and said to Aunt Zhao, "Mom, it's spring now, after the spring plowing, let's renovate the house. I mean, we should tear down these three rooms and rebuild them, and also build the east and west wing rooms."

"This way, when Hu Zi comes to see us in the future, we'll look better."

Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "How much money do we have now?"

"The whole amount is three hundred and forty taels," Qin Ying said. The last time she sold jade, she made three hundred and fifty taels. She deposited the whole amount in the bank, and the rest, except for what she spent, was hidden at home. "We don't need to touch that three hundred taels."

Their residential land is only this big, at most, and it only cost ten taels of silver, including the painting and plastering.

Aunt Zhao said, "We can save a lot of labor. The villagers can help us, and the materials are all ready..."

"Mom," Qin Ying said hurriedly, "I've been thinking, since we're going to build it, we should build it well. Don't build a house with adobe walls and a thatched roof like before. Let's build a house with bricks and tiles!"

Aunt Zhao was startled and said hurriedly, "That's not possible! Yingzi, we can't show off our wealth! What if someone gets their eyes on us?"

"Mom," Qin Ying said softly, but her tone was very firm, "We can't always think the worst of things!

"Besides, think about it, our Hu Zi is now working for Lord Zhou. A good official like Lord Zhou will surely be promoted in the future. So why should we worry about our Hu Zi's future?

“Who knows, maybe we’ll have to move out of this remote mountain place in the future!

"But we have land and ancestral graves here. We have to come back every year to pay respects and sweep the graves. By then, there will be more people in the family and the house will be too small for us to live in.

"Besides, if we leave here, we'll have to hire someone to live on our land. If we don't have a good house, people will think we've fallen on hard times!

"Not to mention, aren't we making money to spend? Money is something you can't bring with you when you're born and you can't take with you when you die. We should save enough for our retirement, and the rest we can use in any way that makes us live comfortably!

"I just said it in a positive way. What if Hu Zi can't stay with Master Zhou for long? Our family will have to live here for a lifetime, even for several lifetimes. Just think about it, what we are passing on to our descendants is a large house. Won't we be remembered by our descendants for the rest of our lives?"

"Oh!" Aunt Zhao laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't stop. "What you said really touched my heart!

"What's the point of living? Once you close your eyes and kick your legs, there's nothing left! If you can leave a name behind, that would be the best!"

"Okay, then let's do as you say and buy it slowly. First, let's see where we can buy bricks and tiles.

"In this situation, I don't know if those brick kilns can still be open..."

Qin Ying smiled and said, "Mom, what I said is just my personal opinion, but this is our family's business, so let's discuss it as a family.

"If we can do it in a short time, we will do it in a short time. If we need to take it slow, we will do it slowly!

"As for whether it will attract jealousy... Actually, five fingers stretched out are not usually evenly spaced, let alone a person?

“In this world, there are both poor and rich people. Poor people are not necessarily hardworking, and rich people are not necessarily unkind.

“It’s just like us. We don’t steal or rob. We earn our living by our own ability. We have no guilty conscience, so we don’t worry about what others say.

“Besides, the rabbit farm in our village will get better and better. In the future, all the villagers in the village will get a share of the money. In addition to the harvest from the land, with these, our lives will not be bad.

"If someone is smart enough to come up with other ways to make money, wouldn't that be even better?

"As for those who have bad intentions, they deserve to be poor!"

Aunt Zhao nodded: "That's true, we still have Master Zhou to make the decision for us! If things really don't work out and we can't make it here, we can just move somewhere else!"

"It doesn't matter where we live! We have plenty of money, and moving to the city would be even better for An An!"

Qin Ying laughed and said, "Didn't you say that living in the city wasn't worth it?"

"That was then, and now is now!" Aunt Zhao also laughed, "We didn't have any money back then!"

The mother and daughter looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The entire Zhao family was enveloped in a cheerful atmosphere.

Even Zhou Yu next door was in high spirits.
