Chapter 44 Get Reward 12
While everyone was there, and to celebrate the successful water supply, the village head stood in front of the water source and said, "Okay, okay, those who want to get water should line up. This time, each family will take turns to get water, and it won't be charged per person."
As soon as the village head finished speaking, someone quickly ran home to get a bucket. Looking at the remaining bamboo poles on the ground, the village head thought that when no one was collecting water at night, the water could be distributed to each household's fields.
"Now, the water problem in the village has been solved. While everyone is here, I decided to give out one hundred taels as a reward to the daughter of the old Lin family. Let's all be witnesses." After saying that, the head of the village signaled his second son Tiema to go and get the silver.
In front of everyone, the village head weighed out one hundred taels and handed it to Shen Wanning.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on the silver, Lin Dashan took Lin Jingce and Lin Jingcheng to the front to block their gazes to prevent them from having any bad intentions.
Shen Wanning was very open-minded. Since everyone saw that the Lin family was rich, if they didn't spend it, they would probably be targeted by others sooner or later.
She asked directly in front of everyone, "I want to buy three acres of wasteland at the foot of the mountain. How much silver would it cost?"
The village head thought for a moment and said, "Wasteland is five hundred coins per mu. If I have three mu of land, that's one ounce and five hundred coins."
Shen Wanning nodded. "Then it's settled. By the way, I also want to build a green brick and tile house there. Could you please help me contact the workers?"
She didn't quite understand these things and had never asked Aunt Zhang before. She just said these things today to let everyone know that she had spent all the one hundred taels of silver.
The village head hesitated and said, "One hundred taels of silver may not be enough to build a brick and tile house. You have a large family, and if you want more rooms, it will probably cost at least one hundred and twenty taels. As for the workers, don't worry about that. Many men in our village are good at building houses."
Just as the village head finished speaking, Lin Dashi continued, "If Miss Wan Ning doesn't mind, I can help build the house. I've helped people build houses in town before, so I know how to do all this."
As soon as Lin Dashi finished speaking, someone immediately responded, "I can do it too, I can do it too. I'll help build the house too."
Shen Wanning nodded. "Then I'll trouble you all. My third brother just went to Fuzhou to take the imperial examination, and we have no money left at home. This one hundred taels is not enough for now. After we sell the wild boar, we will ask everyone to help build the house. As for the wages, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Okay, okay, as long as Sister Wan Ning tells us, we will definitely come!" the men cheered.
In this world, it is not easy to make money. Now with this job, at least they can make some money. If there are many workers needed, they can also call the daughter-in-law's family to work together.
Shen Wanning thought for a moment, then returned the money to the village head. She then took out another 1500 taels of silver and handed it to him. "Uncle head, since we've decided, let's sign the deed tomorrow and go to the county to get the paperwork done! We can also go to town and sell the wild boar, so we can almost build the house. You can keep this money for now, and we'll come back to get the 100 taels of silver after we sell the wild boar and build the house."
She felt unsafe holding the money. Lin Daqiang had just given her a bad look, and if more people showed up, they wouldn't have a peaceful night. She had the ability to protect herself, but some things were inconvenient to take out, so she decided to leave them with the village head for safekeeping.
Anyway, with so many people watching, she wouldn't worry about the headman swallowing her money. When she saw the disappointment that flashed across Lin Daqiang's eyes when she handed the money to the headman, she became more certain of her inner thoughts.
The village head saw her intention and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll keep the money for you. When you need it, just send someone to get it. If you trust me, I won't let you down."
Shen Wanning thanked the village head and left with the Lin family. Only Lin Jingce was left, waiting in line for water.
On the way, Xu was chattering, "Oh, Wan Ning, the money hasn't even warmed up in your hands yet, and you've already given it to the head of the village! I haven't even had time to touch it! Oh, and we still need to build a house. Why are you thinking about building a house again?"
Shen Wanning smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't even ask for Dad's opinion before I bought that piece of wasteland at the foot of the mountain to build a house. Money is really tempting. With so much money in front of me, I have to be cautious."
Aunt Zhang nodded. "Wan Ning's words make sense. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, so I understand that. But I don't understand why you, Wan Ning, bought three acres of land. That's way too much. Building a house wouldn't require that much land, would it?"
Shen Wanning explained, "Mom, I might start a business in the future, and maybe I'll need to build a warehouse or a workshop. Buy it first, and even if I don't use it later, I can turn it into a yard and raise chickens and ducks."
"Doing business? Can we do it? Do I need to buy a shop to do business? How much will that cost? Oh my god, I don't even dare to think about it!" Xu felt like she was dreaming, but she didn't dare to think about these things before, but now she dares to think about them.
After all, the village head's house was the only one with a blue brick and tile house in the village. The Lin family was about to build a blue brick and tile house, which would be as good as the village head's house! She had seen it before, and the blue brick and tile house was very impressive.
Aunt Zhang patted her and said, "We only have these things thanks to Wan Ning. You must treat Wan Ning well in the future, okay?"
"Hehe, don't worry, mom. I will definitely worship Wan Ning as the God of Wealth!" Xu said with a smile.
Aunt Zhang scolded with a smile, and the family walked home talking and laughing.
Back home, the family sat around the dining table. Wen had cooked dinner. The three little ones had gotten out of school early and had helped Wen with a lot of chores.
"Mom and Dad, we didn't ask for your opinions on building the house. I just spent this hundred taels. Will you blame me?" Shen Wanning lowered her head, then looked up at them cautiously.
She didn't want to lose the warmth that she had finally gained.
"Didn't I just say it! We are where we are today because of Wan Ning. Besides, this one hundred taels is yours, and we won't interfere with what you do with it. What's more, you built this house for the Lin family. We can't thank you enough, so how could we blame you!" Aunt Zhang replied solemnly.
She meant what she said. Although Shen Wanning did spend money all the time and often didn't ask them, every copper coin she spent was for the Lin family.
This child is grateful and she doesn't worry about Shen Wanning spending money recklessly. She believes that this child has a plan in mind.
"Thank you, mother. I plan to build a main room and a study in this house. Then I'll give my parents a room, my eldest brother and his wife a room, my second brother and his wife a room, and each of the three children a room. No, I should say each of the four children will have a room. Plus, my third brother and I will each have a room.
By the way, let's build two more rooms as guest rooms. Since we are going to build a house this time, let's build it all at once. What do you think, Dad and Mom?"
