Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi
Chapter 17 Going up the mountain
Xu Huaishan told Xu Huaichuan to quickly buy some food and find some work, then he waved his hand and went home.
He discussed with the third brother privately that he would come to check on the second brother more often and would not completely ignore the second brother.
Seeing his father's eyes glaring at his uncle's back, as if he couldn't bear to see the Xu family suffer endless hardship, Xu Chengyuan put his hand on Xu Huaichuan's shoulder and said, "Dad, I have connections. I was trying to hide it from grandma before, but now I'm free. I'll support you and mom."
……
That night, in the main hall of the Xu family, the eleven people continued their dull life.
Oh, the lard that Xu Siyu bought a few days ago and the meat sent by the Yang family are still under the strict control of Xu Wangshi.
The whole family knew that their financial situation wasn't that difficult, but there was no reason to change.
At the first gathering after the separation, Xu Wangshi decided to resolve Xu Huaize's worries.
Before the separation, each family had its own ideas. Now that the door to separation has been opened, there is no guarantee that there will be new grievances after living together.
In the morning, Zhao Shuqin delivered the pottery jar, and her worried look made Xu Wangshi uncomfortable.
Forget it, we’ve all been out before.
Only after we separate and live our own lives will we compare and see whether the previous days were good or not.
"Build a house?" Xu Huaize, who was the questioner yesterday, became the one asking the question today.
"Well, I've thought about it. We have to build this house after all. The money is yours, so of course it's for your three-bedroom house. Our homestead seems to have some space at the moment, but when your grandchildren come, it may not be enough. I think we should move to another place."
"Mom, whatever you say is fine."
Xu Wang clapped her thighs and said, "Okay, tomorrow you should take some time to go to Zhang's house and choose a vacant lot to survey."
Xu Huaize thought for a while and decided to be honest with Xu Wangshi.
"Mom, to be honest, I originally planned to move my whole family to town. We don't have anyone to tend the land, and there's not much work to do in the village. But when my second brother made a scene yesterday, I realized you were worried about your son, too.
My son wants to stay with you.
If you think it would be better for my brother and I to live separately, then I would like to buy a piece of land next to each other so that I can take care of you together with my brother in the future."
Xu Wangshi had no objection, but still asked Xu Huaishan for his opinion.
"Boss, what do you think?"
"Third brother, you should plan on hiring people and materials. You need to leave someone to look after the construction after the New Year. If you can't do the restaurant work, you need to tell your boss in advance."
"Hey, I get it."
Because there was a grudge between Xu Huaize and the village chief's family, Xu Wangshi asked Xu Huaize to ask his seventh uncle's family for help and go together.
Purchasing residential land is a serious matter. As long as the purchase money is paid according to the rules, Zhang Dahe has no reason to make trouble.
With new hope in life, everyone started to get busy with their own things.
He Xiangmei was not forced to return to the Zhang family, and continued to be busy with housework every day, whether real or fake.
Xu Huaize had prepared for the house-building project thousands of times in his mind.
The blue bricks and black tiles had all been pre-ordered from shops in town, and Xu Huaishan was asked to go to the mountains to look for the wood.
According to the tradition in the village, if a family has wood that is not in a hurry to build a house, they can exchange it with others who need it urgently.
Of course, the wood you replace must be good wood.
If the wood is not good, people don’t have to replace it, so you have to spend money to buy it from a carpenter.
When Xu Siyu heard that her elder brother and Cheng Qi were going into the mountains, she insisted on going with them.
Before leaving, the old lady insisted, "Siyu, it's so cold outside. It's better to stay at home. Why go to the mountains to find wood? That's not your job. Don't you still have to make cakes for Xiangmanlou?"
However, Xu Siyu wanted to go. She knew the business of Xiangmanlou. She just needed to stay at Mr. Du's place for the next two days.
She wanted to go into the mountains to see if there were any new opportunities.
After much persuasion and saying many nice things to the old lady, I finally got her reluctant consent.
Looking at the old lady who sent her out, Xu Siyu felt particularly satisfied. It was great that she had a mother here who cared about her so much!
But after a while, Xu Siyu regretted it!
The place where they usually collected firewood was on the small road behind the house. They could pick up a bundle less than halfway up the slope. Xu Siyu had gone there once with Xu Nianyue, but they saw that it was a place where they could not find any rare and precious herbs, so they never went there again.
But today, it would take two hours to walk into the ownerless woods and cross the mountain behind their village. In order to keep up with her elder brother, Xu Siyu was walking so fast that she was almost dying.
When they felt they had reached their destination and stopped, Xu Chengqi ran up to Xu Siyu and said attentively, "Aunt, are you tired? Come sit down and rest for a while."
Xu Siyu waved her hand, "I'm not too tired, you guys go ahead and do your work."
After sending Xu Chengqi away, Xu Siyu looked at the wet ground and under the dead tree trunk, and sure enough, there were signs of some mushrooms.
I didn't see any wild ginseng or Polygonum multiflorum, but there were quite a lot of Pueraria lobata.
Since she was already here, there was no reason to go back empty-handed. Her elder brother and Cheng Qi were cutting down trees, so she had to dig the kudzu roots herself.
In just half an hour, Xu Siyu had dug out more than ten roots, filling her small backpack.
Xu Siyu, who was extremely tired, didn't even notice that the ground was dirty, and sat down on the edge to rest.
As expected, she was not suitable for working in the mountains, and the mountains did not give her the opportunity to get rich overnight, so she had to continue thinking about reselling goods.
When going down the mountain, the eldest brother and Xu Chengqi were carrying a piece of wood and could not help him carry the backpack.
Xu Siyu had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow him home.
Perhaps because of the hope of going home, Xu Siyu walked faster than when she came.
It took them an hour and a half to reach the foot of the mountain. When they entered the village and passed by the village chief's house, Xu Siyu saw Zhang Yue standing in the crowd, and many people were saying compliments to him.
"The village chief's son is different. He passed the imperial examination and is going to marry a girl from the county."
"Of course not. We are all farmers, and we can't even read. From now on, when we see a scholar, we must bow and kowtow."
Zhang Yue listened to other people's compliments with a smile on his face, and felt elated in his heart.
Naturally, a group of people also saw the Xu family entering the village, and they all started whispering for a while.
"Isn't this Siyu? She fell into the water, so she needs to be nursed back to health for a while. How come she's still working? Would her mother be willing to let her go?"
"They are all village girls. They are pretty, so they don't have to work. Wang Cuihua used to support a scholar's wife, but now she has no place to marry. So why not let her work and support her instead? It won't waste food."
"Oh, be quiet, she heard it..."
It is never a good thing to be heard talking behind your back.
I won't say more about these few people, just look at Zhang Yue, then look at Xu Siyu, this Fuwa mentioned by Xu Wangshi is not blessed, they are happy in their hearts...
Zhang Yue pretended to be polite and greeted the Xu family. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Xu Huaishan nodded and walked away expressionlessly.
But his pace quickened a lot, so Xu Chengqi, who was carrying a piece of wood with him and was rolling his eyes at Zhang Yue in a hypocritical manner, almost couldn't keep up.
Xu Siyu smiled and nodded to him and everyone else.
He didn't curse or cry to argue with anyone, but was so open and honest, which surprised everyone.
