The Ancient Growth Diary of a Little Zombie

Chapter 175 Buying the title of a princess

Seeing that Wang was about to lose her temper, Mrs. Chen quickly shut her mouth and ran away.

She couldn't defeat the old woman Wang alone, so she would bring two good sisters with her to fight her next time.

There were people like Mrs. Chen who came up to annoy people with their chatterbox nature, and of course there were also those who waited for the right moment to come up to ask if we needed to hire anyone to build the house.

In addition to relying on the harvest from the fields to make a living, most farmers choose to do odd jobs outside to supplement their family income when the farming season is not busy.

Unfortunately, Sangjia Village has a bad reputation and no one is willing to hire people from their village to work there.

Therefore, the people in Sangjia Village basically rely on the weather for their livelihood. It is rare for them to encounter such an opportunity to make money, so naturally some people will come up with ideas.

After Wang went back to ask Huo Lingxing and Qin Yuling, she ran back to tell them.

"Mr. Huo and Miss Qin said that the forty cents a day does not include food, but the work must be done quickly and well, as they are anxious to find a place to stay."

"Big Flower Milk, really? Forty cents?"

A young wife asked in surprise.

You have to know that a day's work outside only earns twenty to twenty-five cents, not including food!

You can earn forty cents a day without leaving the village. It's like pie in the sky!

Wang nodded seriously.

Those two are both wealthy people, it would be a waste not to make some money.

“Build it for their two families first.

We are not in a hurry at home, but let me put this beforehand!

Our family can’t afford such high wages, and there aren’t many people who want it, so we can only pay 20 cents a day.”

As soon as Wang said this, everyone started talking at once:

"What are you talking about! Can we still accept money from your family?"

"That's right, Wang, what you said is really shameless!"

"Don't worry, Aunt Dahua. Once we finish dealing with the two families who are worried about us, we will have all our men go to help your family."

......

When Wang's little granddaughter gave them the divine seeds, she did not charge them a penny.

If any of them dares to accept a penny as wages, he will be criticized and called an ungrateful person by the whole village!

Wang listened to what they said, narrowed her eyes and smiled, then pretended to be impatient and said:

"Alright, alright, let's talk about it after the busy farming season is over!

They haven't even laid the foundation yet!

Look how anxious you all are!

There's no work to do at home, right? Let's all go home! "

After hearing this, everyone laughed for a few words and then dispersed.

The people in Sangjia Village seem to have been busy non-stop since the beginning of winter last year.

As soon as they finished their work in the fields, the men started building the house.

Although they are busy and tired, their enthusiasm is still high. Days like this are worthwhile!

The house Qin Yuling wanted to build was not big, so the land she bought was behind Old Sang's house. It was very close to Old Sang's house and could be reached in just two steps.

Just as Mr. Sang had thought, Huo Lingxing wanted to build a house with two courtyards and even went out to find someone to draw the blueprints.

Their two houses are located next to each other and the materials used to build their houses are the same, the only difference is the size.

There were enough men in Sangjia Village, so they just started together.

The old Sang family also spent a lot of money and expanded seven rooms at once.

Shishi has a separate room, and the five boys each have a room. It's up to them whether they want to live there first or keep it as their new home after they get married.

Sang Pingping and Sang Jiajia, two children of similar age, shared a room, and Sang Qingqing also had a separate room.

What Wang meant was that Sang Qingqing had found a suitable family and was about to get married, so she should let her stay in her parents' home happily for a while.

When she gets married, she will give the room to the seventh or sixth son, and the remaining room will be kept as a backup.

Otherwise, when a guest comes to the house, someone has to live in the woodshed, which is not a good thing.

Although the men in Sangjia Village worked quickly, they still managed to build the three houses at once, and the construction was not completed until the potatoes in the fields were ready to be harvested.

The main reason was that Huo Lingxing had wasted most of his time on that house, and he had a lot of trouble.

Not satisfied with this, not satisfied with that.

Finally, Shishi raised his fist and was completely satisfied.

They didn't hold any beam-raising banquet. After the house was built, the three families held a banquet together to entertain the villagers.

"Uncle Jianguo, are you really planning to hand over those sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

At the banquet, Sanderfa took advantage of the fact that there were many people around and no one was paying attention, and quietly pulled Mr. Sang aside and asked again uncertainly.

It is said that those officials are very cunning. Sandefa was really afraid that after handing over the things, he would not get any benefits but would get into trouble instead.

Now that the harvest is about to come, if he changes his mind and doesn't want to hand it over, it would be better to find a way to send him away quickly.

Mr. Sang nodded solemnly and said softly:

"It can't be concealed. We were lucky before. The people in Dahe Village were poisoned to death. Otherwise, our Sangjia Village would have been in chaos by now."

They tried many times but couldn't find that the potato was poisonous. Finally, they found the answer in Shi Shi's tablet.

Upon hearing this, Sanderfa frowned slightly, pursed his lips and said nothing more.

That night, Huo Lingxing, who had already moved into his new home, was invited to Lao Sang's home again.

Everyone in the old Sang family is there except Shi Shi.

Wang was afraid that the girl would speak wildly again in front of Huo Lingxing, so she let her stay in her new house obediently.

As soon as Huo Lingxing entered the main hall, he found that the whole family was staring at him with serious faces, which made him a little nervous.

What's going on with the old Sang family today?

Why is it so weird?

While Huo Lingxing was daydreaming, Mr. Sang hit him with a straight ball, which stunned him.

"Sir, uh, how much silver does it cost to buy a princess title from your Huo family?"

Huo Lingxing: ???

"What did you say?"

"I said we want to buy a princess title for Shishi."

Old Master Sang was also a tough guy. He thought this was a very common thing among officials and spoke of it as if it were a given.

Huo Lingxing got angry when he heard this.

What do they think of the Huo family?

Buying an official position is against the law, and it happened to him!

And he wanted to buy the title of a princess! If he himself had a daughter, she wouldn't even be a princess. How dare they think about it?

"Take that back immediately, I'll pretend I didn't hear it!"

Huo Lingxing said unhappily.

And Mr. Sang continued in a negotiating tone:

"Can you give me a price?"

Huo Lingxing slammed the table, stood up and roared:

"Do not sell!"

Old Man Sang: "Isn't it possible to exchange it for grain seeds that yield 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms per mu?"

“No…wait, what did you just say?

A grain seed that yields three to four thousand catties per mu?"

Huo Lingxing was so shocked by the sound that he split his legs and looked at Mr. Sang in astonishment.

Mr. Sang nodded.

"Well, hey, no, forget it.

Just pretend I never said anything."

"no!!!

You, you, say what you just said again!"

Huo Lingxing's voice rose again, and he breathed heavily through his nostrils.

Mr. Sang: "Oh~ just pretend I never said anything."
