The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

After the meal, the craftsmen from both teams squatted on the ground with their bowls in hand and ate.

Among the Wu clan members, some took their meals home and ate them while it was still dark.

Some people felt embarrassed and left directly. After coming over and saying something to Lu Tianming and others, they left again.

Lu Tianming had no objection to this.

The food was distributed to them, and it was up to them how to eat it.

When everyone finished their meal, the two teams began to set up tents and prepare to sleep.

Yes, whenever these craftsmen come out to work, they stay directly where they work.

That night, the foot of the mountain was filled with tents and bedding, filling the entire camp.

And at this time, Wu Lichang's family.

Wu Hongliang told his elder brother everything he had seen during the day.

When Village Chief Wu heard that the Sanqing group was building houses at the foot of the mountain, his eyes widened.

"Second Brother, are you sure you heard correctly? Those people are really from the Sanqing Troupe?"

Wu Hongliang nodded seriously.

"It's absolutely true. I even went to talk to the team leader for a few minutes, and he himself admitted that he was from the Sanqing team."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lichang frowned deeply and said to himself:

"That shouldn't be the case! The Sanqing team is very busy, and after the spring comes the concentrated period of house construction.

Logically speaking, they won't be able to hire anyone unless they wait a few months!"

Wu Hongliang looked at his elder brother like this and knew that he was thinking about something, so he didn't dare to disturb him.

Captain Wu thought about it for a long time and wondered again whether Lu Tianming had any background.

But when I think about what I had talked about with Lu Tianming before, I feel that it should be correct.

After thinking for a long time, I finally came to the conclusion that money makes the world go round.

He was convinced that Lu Tianming had to spend extra money to invite the Sanqing Troupe!

Thinking of this, the anger in his eyes grew stronger and stronger!

Lu Tianming seemed like a knowledgeable and sensible person before. He has hinted at it several times, but this person still doesn't understand what he means?

If there is only one such house with blue bricks and large tiles in a village within a dozen miles, it represents face and status.

But if there are too many, they will be worthless!

Then what’s the point of him spending so much money to build this house!

As he was thinking, Wu Lichang slapped the table and said angrily:

"Second brother, you and Yuanming and Zhongming will go to the village and tell the people who went to work today.

Starting tomorrow, no one is allowed to help at the foot of the mountain!

I want to see if these outsiders can still build this big house without our help!"

Wu Hongliang looked at his elder brother's angry expression and quickly agreed seriously.

Then he called his two nephews and went to the village to inform every household.

..........

At dawn the next day, both teams of craftsmen got up.

Because of the rules of building the house, only two meals are provided.

Therefore, many craftsmen do not eat breakfast in the morning.

Seeing that they had not eaten yet, Lu Tianming was about to take his tools to work, so he asked the women in the team to cook another serving of vegetable porridge.

This vegetable porridge contains only a small amount of staple food, and the rest is basically chopped vegetables and pumpkin.

To be honest, this thing is not very filling.

But the tradition here is not to eat breakfast, or to eat breakfast very sparingly, even the people in the team eat this.

When the craftsmen heard that Lu Tianming was going to take care of their breakfast, some felt embarrassed, while others were extremely grateful.

But the craftsmen all have the same idea.

The master loves them, so they must work hard for the master.

Not only must we work quickly, but we must also ensure high quality.

At the stove, all the women worked together, some cutting vegetables, some fetching water, and some lighting the fire.

Soon, the pot was on fire.

The vegetable porridge is easy to cook and soon emits a fragrant aroma.

The women cooked the porridge skillfully and scooped a large bowl for each person in the queue.

The craftsmen gulped down the vegetable porridge, unable to suppress the joy on their faces.

After breakfast, before the sun came out, the craftsmen started working.

But even after they had worked for a quarter of an hour, the villagers from Baoshan Town who were helping them still hadn't arrived.

Many people in the team began to get anxious, as it was supposed to be time to get to work.

Yesterday was my first day here, and I arrived around this time.

But it's really hard to rush things like this.

Lu Tianming had no choice but to ask everyone to suppress their temper and wait patiently.

At this time, Wu Youzhi was at home.

Wu Youzhi slung over his patched bag and picked up his hoe, intending to sneak out.

But just as he was about to open the door, he heard the door to the east creak open.

A frail woman came out holding onto the door, her face full of misery as she said:

"Youzhi, why are you so disobedient?

Mom told you not to go, why don’t you listen?

Don’t you know the patriarch’s temper?

If you really go, he will definitely target you in the future.

Life is already difficult for my mother and me. If we offend the clan leader again, how will we survive in the future? "

Wu Youzhi saw that his mother was having trouble breathing as she was talking, so he hurried over to support her.

"Mom, I know, I know everything.

But you have to take medicine for your illness.

My father has been gone for many years. If you..., then I would really become a motherless child!

When the time comes, what those people said will come true.

My destiny is strong, I will kill you all!"

As he spoke, Wu Youzhi's eyes became red again.

His father died when he was young.

His uncles and aunts were coveting his family's house and land and wanted to take them over.

If his mother and he want to live, they can only resist.

As a result, he became enemies with his uncles and aunts.

His mother was exhausted from trying to raise him.

Since he was a child, he was bullied by the villagers, and he and his mother lived a hard life.

Youzhi's mother naturally knew about her son's situation and couldn't help wiping away her tears.

After a long while, she sighed as she watched her son stiffen his neck and look stubborn.

"Forget it, those tribesmen look down on us anyway.

No matter what, they won't take your life because your surname is Wu.

If you want to go, go ahead!"

When Wu Youzhi saw that his mother finally agreed, a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely earn more money and bring it back. You will be cured after taking the medicine!"

As he said this, he hurriedly helped his mother back into the house to sit down, then picked up the hoe and ran quickly towards the foot of the mountain.
