Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 30 Preparations before Construction

Boss Xiao suddenly felt a little disappointed. He had married Wang despite his parents' objection, not because of her family background, but because he liked her straightforward and generous personality.

Although Wang was also willful and capricious after marriage, he was very tolerant and the couple loved each other very much.

As a result, Wang thought that he was afraid of her brothers from her natal family, and she became more and more condescending towards him. She threatened her brothers from her natal family at every turn, disrespected her parents-in-law, and even planned her niece's marriage.

Boss Xiao suddenly felt very bored.

He covered his eyes with his palms, his expression indifferent, and said to Wang: "It's up to you."

After saying that, he helped Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao back to their room, and walked around Wang without even looking at her.

Wang was frightened and chilled by the look from Boss Xiao. What happened to the boss? Why did she feel like he had left her?

Wang rarely got angry, but just stood there in a daze watching Boss Xiao and his two companions leave.

Xiao Ting and Xiao Xu were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word. They had seen their father being so tolerant of their mother. This time, their father still didn't quarrel with their mother, but the feeling they had about their father seemed different.

Xiao Wan didn't know about these things. She was discussing the blueprints she had drawn earlier with the builder.

Master Liu, who was building the house, lit up his eyes as soon as he saw the blueprints, and hurriedly asked Xiao Wan who drew the blueprints.

Xiao Wan said it was herself, and Master Liu couldn't believe it. Xiao Wan mentioned the design of the toilet and washroom nonchalantly, and Master Liu hurried to listen carefully.

The house Xiao Wan wanted to build was a two-courtyard house in the shape of a "sun", separating the front and back yards. The back yard was for her family to live in, and the front yard was for entertaining guests, with two guest rooms added.

Once the middle door was locked, it was completely separated. A main house and east and west wing rooms were built in the backyard, with my family living in the back. This way, the three siblings each had their own room.

As for the toilet, Xiao Wan was fed up with the dirty...pit, so she planned to build a separate toilet.

Bathing was also a problem, so Xiao Wan designed a separate bathroom. As for the front yard, Xiao Wan of course wanted to plant a sweet-scented osmanthus tree, a stone table and a few stone benches, so that the family could eat and barbecue in the yard when the weather was good.

The kitchen was built on the southeast side, and the stove was covered with wall bricks to make it more spacious and brighter.

Xiao Wan and Master Liu agreed on a price of one hundred and ten taels, and the labor would be done by people from their own village. Master Liu had no objection and left excitedly with the design drawings.

At the same time, Xiao Wan discussed the design with Master Zhang, the workshop builder. They decided to build three workshops: one for processing potatoes, one for processing, and one for backup. They also wanted to partition off a small room for use as a kitchen, where workers could eat while working.

Old Man Xiao also went to find the village head early in the morning. He needed help to build a workshop and a new house. Xiao Wan suggested hiring villagers, but they should find hardworking and honest people.

The village head came over and asked excitedly, "Wan'er, you've been a great help. We're all free right now, so we'd be happy to give you a little less."

Xiao Wan smiled faintly: "Grandpa Zhao, please help me pick some hardworking and honest uncles to work. We need about twenty people. Those who are cunning and dishonest will not be accepted. I will pay everyone 30 cents a day, but I won't provide food. My family is too busy to handle it."

"Also, my family is rebuilding the house and needs 20 more people, with the same wages, to work together with the workshop."

"What? This...this is too much. Wan'er, can you think about it again?" Zhao Lizheng felt that every time he saw Xiao Wan, he would have a big surprise.

He was happy for the villagers, but also worried that Xiao Wan's burden was too heavy. Xiao Wan shook her head, thanked the village chief for his kindness, and insisted on paying thirty cents a day.

Zhao Lizheng understood what was going on and promised to pick someone honest and hardworking for Xiao Wan. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

The village head called the villagers together and told them the situation. Everyone was talking to each other excitedly, and they doubted their ears. This could make more money than repairing river embankments, and it was right at their doorstep. Where else could they find such a job?

So many people signed up, and the village head picked forty villagers who worked hard on weekdays and had more free time at home. The rest were very disappointed.

The village head looked at the villagers seriously and asked everyone to be quiet.

He cleared his throat and said, "The second family has offered everyone such high wages and such a great opportunity. Those who are selected should work honestly and not be lazy or slacking. Those who are not selected should not worry. Wan'er said that you can go to her family to claim the egg seedlings. Sign the contract, and she will collect the seeds when they are grown. She will pay two cents per pound. Taking good care of them is better than anything else."

"This batch will first go to the families who weren't selected to pick the eggplant seedlings. Wan'er said the next batch will be given to the other villagers who are doing the work."

When everyone heard this, they agreed. Some people have elderly people and children at home and cannot leave, so they can grow eggs. The village head also said that the maturity period is very short, so it will be the same if they grow eggs well.

So those who were not selected turned around and went to Xiao Wan's territory to pick egg seedlings. Xiao Wan had already prepared it. The eggs in the space could reproduce indefinitely as long as they were cut and planted.

Moreover, after planting eggs and vegetables, the space was upgraded to another level. Bai Tuantuan seemed to have grown a lot bigger than before, and looked more clever than before.

What was even more surprising was that Xiao Wan actually felt that she was much stronger than before, and she could even use the Taekwondo that she had learned in her previous life.

When I first came here, I couldn’t even get enough to eat, so why would I practice Taekwondo?

Xiao Wan asked the village head to be a witness, and the villagers pressed their fingerprints one by one. Each of them received about half an acre of rice seedlings and went home. Xiao Wan couldn't be completely fair, so she could only try to be as considerate as possible.

Uncle Xiao also came to collect the ground egg seedlings, and told Xiao Wan that he would help build the workshop in three days without asking for any wages. Xiao Wan nodded without saying anything.

Although Uncle Xiao said so, she would still treat him unfairly. As long as he was diligent and honest, she would be happy to employ her own uncle.

At this time, an uncle from the village came over and brought a message to Xiao Tiequan saying that the tools Xiao Wan wanted were ready and she could pick them up at any time. Xiao Wan thanked the uncle, and the uncle waved his hands repeatedly. After all, the family's eggs would still depend on Xiao Wan's family in the future.

Xiao Wan bought some white cloth from the cloth shop and gave it to Aunt Wang early in the morning, asking her to help sew masks and cut filter cloth for work, and she would pay her for the work.

Aunt Wang said unhappily, "Wan'er, what are you talking about? Why do you want money? My daughter and I will sew it for you in a few days. Don't mention the wages."

Ni'er is a shy little girl. Although she and Xiao Wan are neighbors, they don't interact much.

This time, Xiao Wan got her family the job of delivering tofu, which improved their family conditions a lot. Ni'er was very grateful.

So she smiled gently and said, "Sister Wan'er, don't refuse. Mother and I will finish sewing it for you in two or three days. Don't worry and go about your business."

Xiao Wan has a good impression of Ni'er and likes her in her heart. She is clean and hardworking.

Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Okay, Ni'er, I'll leave it to you. If I have work to do here in the future, please come and help me. If the workshop is looking for female workers, please come and help me. I'll pay you for the work."

"Really, Sister Wan'er, I will definitely do my best." Hearing Xiao Wan say this, Ni'er smiled. She could also earn wages, so she must learn well from Sister Wan'er.

"Of course, silly girl." Xiao Wan was infected by Ni'er and laughed unconsciously.

Her smile was so radiant that Nier was stunned.

Because she ate well and drank the spiritual spring water, her face became round, her almond eyes were bright and kind, and her complexion was delicate and fair. Although she did not wear any makeup, she was extremely charming.

Aunt Wang was even more delighted when she saw the two sisters interacting, and she wished that Ni'er could learn more from Xiao Wan.
