After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Lin Ting and Wu Weibo finished inspecting the foundation and instructed people to make improvements where necessary. They were preparing to go to Wenzhu County to order materials such as blue bricks and wood.

Before she even left the house, she saw a stumbling figure, bent over and rushing towards her, with his hands outstretched as if to grab her.

In this situation, Lin Ting dodged to the side and Shen Jizu fell flat on his face.

Xu came over and helped Shen Jizu up, but Shen Rou felt that she had been so arrogant just now, and now that her father could not be the chief clerk, Lin Ting would definitely mock her.

She ran back home while no one knew about it, feeling so embarrassed.

"Lin... Lin Ting, you... you help me, help me..."

Shen Jizu knelt on the ground and crawled over, trying to grab Lin Ting's clothes, but Lin Ting stepped back to avoid him.

Seeing his elder brother kneeling in front of his daughter-in-law, Shen Dali thought it was no big deal. He put down the dustpan in his hand and hurried to pull Shen Jizu.

"Brother, how can you behave like this? Get up quickly."

Unable to become the chief clerk, Shen Jizu has already lost all face in Wushan Village. Now the only one who can help him is Lin Ting.

If he becomes the chief clerk, no one will dare to gossip about him, but if he fails, he will lose all his face.

"No... Lin Ting, I was wrong before, but this time I really need your help, otherwise I will die."

Shen Jizu became like this because he must have received a notice from the county government and knew that he could no longer be the chief clerk.

"I don't have the ability to help you with your problem. You should figure it out on your own."

At this time, Shen's mother also came over and pointed at Shen Dali's nose and scolded him.

"Shen Dali, your eldest brother is in trouble now. You are brothers. If you don't help him, who else do you want to help?"

It was time for the workers to come to work. They were all from the same village, and they were working while listening to gossip.

Shen Dali was scolded by Shen's mother. He really didn't know how to refute her, so he could only look up at Lin Ting.

Lin Ting folded his arms, not angry but smiling: "When you wanted to sell my daughter, why didn't you say you were brothers?"

This one sentence reminded Shen Dali how Shen Jizu and Shen's mother had treated them in the past.

Shen Dali was immediately discouraged and blamed himself for this matter.

"Lin Ting, you are the daughter-in-law of our Shen family. You have the ability to help Ji Zu become the chief clerk. This is good for you and the entire Shen family.

It will bring honor to our family and when it is written in the family tree, your contribution will also be included. What an honor it is."

Shen's mother's train of thought is really sad.

"No... I don't dare to take such a great credit. Forget about helping Shen Jizu become the chief clerk. If I had the ability, I would even make him the emperor."

When people from the village who came to work or watch the fun heard Lin Ting's words, they all laughed.

Not to mention that Shen's mother's family had bullied Shen Qingzhou and others before, now that Shen Jizu can't be the chief clerk, he forces Lin Ting to find a solution for him. It's really funny to think about it.

"What are you laughing at? Shut up!"

In the eyes of outsiders, Shen's mother's harsh words had no effect at all, but instead made everyone laugh even more happily.

"Lin Ting, you can say whatever you want, but this time, you're the only one who can help me. Go and tell the county magistrate, and he'll definitely let me be the chief clerk for your sake."

Lin Ting shook his head, thinking that Shen Jizu was really daydreaming.

"Let me put it this way. First, I don't have that much face. Secondly, the chief clerk personally selected by Lord Qu is a Juren from Minzhou. Do you want me to tell him not to accept a Juren, but a Xiucai?"

One sentence contains too much information. The person was selected by the county magistrate himself, and he was a juren. What could he compare with others?

Shen Jizu and his mother were speechless for a moment. They collapsed to the ground, their strength drained away as if in the blink of an eye.

"Mom, brother, I'll take you home!"

Shen Dali lifted Shen Jizu's hand to his shoulder and helped him back home. Xu burst into tears but also stumbled away with Shen's mother.

……

afternoon!

Under the guidance of Wu Weibo, Lin Ting found a brick kiln that specializes in firing green bricks.

"Master Wu, long time no see. Where have you been getting any work lately?"

As soon as the people at the brick kiln saw Wu Weibo, they came up to say hello. They were already very familiar with each other.

"I recently returned to Wenzhu County. By the way, Lao Guo, let me introduce you to someone. This is Madam Lin, my new client."

The man called Lao Guo nodded at Lin Ting and said, "Mrs. Lin, what do you need? We have red bricks, blue bricks, and blue tiles. What do you need?"

Anyone who came with Wu Weibo must be related to building a house.

"I want to see the blue bricks!"

The brick kiln is very hot, so the people working there have their clothes soaked with sweat.

"Mrs. Lin, Master Wu, this way please..."

Lao Guo took the two men into the brickyard where they stored bricks.

There are many bricks of different shapes here, some big, some small, and some with patterns used in the yard.

"Mrs. Lin, if you are building a house, I recommend you use this kind of blue bricks. It is the best."

Wu Weibo also picked up a blue brick and walked it over to Lin Ting: "Mrs. Lin, the blue bricks from Lao Guo's family are indeed the best bricks I have ever used. Take a look."

Different fields are like different worlds. Lin Ting doesn’t quite understand this.

"Since you are the one building the house, of course you should use the materials you like."

Lin Ting turned around and asked Lao Guo: "How much is this brick?"

Lao Guo's face was full of smiles: "Master Wu and I have known each other for many years, and I won't bother with you about the price. The lowest price is ten cents for a brick, and I guarantee it will be delivered to your home.

Of course, red bricks are the cheapest, six coins each. It depends on your choice, Madam Lin."

When preparing to build a house, Lin Ting asked about the price of blue bricks. Old Guo did not raise the price just because she was a woman.

"Master Wu, how many bricks are needed to build the house shown in the blueprint?"

Wu Weibo is very experienced and immediately came to a conclusion: "Eight thousand is about right. If there is still a difference, it won't be much."

Old Guo patted the dirt that was still on his hands and said with his hands on his hips.

"Don't worry, Madam Lin. If you buy too many bricks, we can return them, so you don't have to worry about selling too many or too few."

The bricks are not big, and customers often worry that they are selling too many. After calculating over and over again, Lao Guo has already come up with a solution.

"Okay, then, order 8,000 first, and you'll deliver them to Wushan Village tomorrow!"

"Mrs. Lin is straightforward. Starting tomorrow, we will send people to deliver it to you slowly."

It would take at least five or six days to deliver eight thousand bricks using a horse-drawn carriage.

One blue brick costs ten wen of silver, and eight thousand of them would be eighty taels!

After Lin Ting and Lao Guo signed the receipt, Lin Ting handed Lao Guo a silver note for one hundred taels, and Lao Guo gave her twenty taels of change.

With the dividends from the beverage stall and the money Lin Lin paid her back, she had earned more than six hundred taels in these days.

I spent twenty-four taels on buying the slope, seven taels, four hundred and eighty wen on wages, two taels on buying vegetables and cooking, and another eighty taels on buying blue bricks.

In addition to the expenses for himself, Shen Wanyi and Shen Qingzhou, Lin Ting had already spent more than one hundred and thirty-three taels on building the house.
