Traveling through ancient times to get rid of poverty, the whole network sends me express delivery

The village head hesitated for a moment, then asked, "By the way, what about the money for building the house..."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Village Head. The one hundred taels of silver, plus the five taels from the wild boar, and some leftover from the ginseng we sold earlier, should be enough. We've already asked the craftsmen about this."

"That's good. Tomorrow I'll have Tie Niu take you to town. He's familiar with the brick vendors. Just say I introduced you, and I'll probably give you a better deal."

"Thank you, Li Zheng. I will definitely invite you to a feast when the house is finished."

Once this matter was settled, they began to build the house in full swing.

Wen and Xu went home and called all their brothers and sisters to help. Even Xu's uncle and cousin came.

The Lin family was so happy that they came to check on the house several times a day. Even Shen Wanning couldn't help but check on the progress of the house every day.

That evening, Shen Wanning had eaten too much and was walking towards the half-built house when she heard a noise coming from the distance.

She quickened her pace and walked forward. She heard Tie Niu angrily pointing at a man and saying, "If you slack off again, I'll tell Aunt Zhang and Uncle Dashan."

The man had his back to Shen Wanning, and since it was already dark, she couldn't see his face clearly.

"Are you stupid? The wages are so high. If you build the house a few days later, we can get a few more days' pay! If you build the house for them so quickly, where will you find such a good job later?" As soon as the man spoke, Shen Wanning recognized it as Lin Daqiang's voice.

Shen Wanning walked over and said coldly, "Lin Daqiang, I won't tolerate sneaky people like you here. From tomorrow on, you don't need to come here anymore."

Lin Daqiang turned around and saw that it was Shen Wanning. She was a young girl, so he just coaxed her and the matter was over. He said with a smile, "Oh, it's Wanning. I was just joking with Brother Tieniu. Don't take it as an offense! I've always been very hardworking and definitely not lazy."

"Don't treat me like a fool. Leave now. I will ask my eldest brother to send your wages to you tomorrow, and you don't have to come again." Shen Wanning's attitude was tough, and there was no room for maneuver.

Seeing this, Lin Daqiang pointed at Shen Wanning and started cursing, "What do you know, little girl? You told me to leave, so I'm leaving. Why? When did it become your turn to make the decisions in your Lin family? Let Uncle Dashan speak!"

He knew that Lin Dashan was not good at speaking and would definitely not tell him to leave, so he dared to say such words.

"I'm paying for this, so the wages will naturally come from me. If you want to work, go ahead and do it! Besides the wages for the first few days, I'll consider you kind enough to be my free labor." After saying that, Shen Wanning faced everyone again and said, "Everyone, hear this. Lin Daqiang doesn't want any wages, and he's working for me voluntarily from now on."

Seeing that the other craftsmen were looking at him, Lin Daqiang was so angry that he threw the green brick in his hand to the ground, and the brick immediately broke into several pieces.

"This blue brick costs two cents. If you smash my brick, the money will be deducted from your wages." Shen Wanning said with a sneer.

"Bah! Whoever wants to do this crappy job can do it. I don't want it!" After saying that, Lin Daqiang left with a lot of curse words in his mouth.

From afar, through the twilight, Shen Wanning saw Lin Daqiang turning and looking over, wondering what he was thinking. If they weren't from the same village and she didn't want to make things too awkward, she wouldn't have asked Lin Daqiang to help build the house.

After Lin Daqiang left, Shen Wanning scolded the remaining craftsmen. "I don't tolerate any sand in my eyes. If any of you deliberately slack off and don't work, don't blame me for being ruthless. We are all from the village and outside, and many of us are relatives. I don't want to make things too ugly."

"Don't worry, Wan Ning, we will do our best to build the house as soon as possible." Tie Niu responded.

The village head's son had already agreed, so there was no reason for the others not to agree. They all agreed that they would do a good job of the house and would not be lazy.

Because of Lin Daqiang's incident, they patrolled more frequently, a move also to prevent Lin Daqiang from doing anything bad.

After working for more than half a month, the house was built. Money really makes the world go round! With more money, you can hire more workers, and the house will be built faster. Plus, although there were no machines in ancient times, building a house was much simpler.

The courtyard walls were studded with broken porcelain shards to keep thieves out. Even the village head praised the house and privately said it was more impressive than his own.

The various wooden furniture pieces for the house were made when the house was first constructed. Most of them were made by Lin Jiang's master and his apprentices. In addition, Lin Jiang also made a few pieces of furniture in his spare time.

After choosing a date, the Lin family began to prepare for the move. The villagers came to share in the joy, help with the move, and wait for the feast.

The vegetables were bought in town early in the morning, and Aunt Xu and Aunt Zhang were happily cooking in the kitchen. Aunt Niu, the village head's two daughters-in-law, and others all came to help in the kitchen.

Normally, when a village banquet is held like this, most women would help with the cooking. However, the village head's two daughters-in-law were helping with this kind of work for the first time.

Ever since Aunt Zhang helped Gousheng detoxify last time, Aunt Niu sent some eggs, saying that she specially brought them back from her parents' home.

The two families later had closer contacts, and you would often give me something and I would give you something in return.

Ten tables were set up for the banquet. They used the wild boar meat marinated earlier to make a pork and mushroom soup, along with a large bowl of steamed eggs. In addition, they stewed three chickens, each with a large bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of pork belly.

The others are some vegetarian dishes, but they are cooked with lard, and some dishes have some meat slices added to enhance the flavor.

"Oh, the Lin family is really generous! With so much meat, it looks like they've made a fortune."

"This is a huge happy occasion, so we have to prepare a sumptuous meal! Besides, the Lin family has always been generous. Eat quickly, or it will be gone if you're late."

"Hey, leave some eggs for my grandson. He loves them!"

"Ah, ever since the Lin family had this daughter, life has been completely different from ours!"

"If you're envious, why don't you give birth to a daughter? I don't know who said a few years ago that daughters are money-losing goods and debt collectors!"

"Can that girl be compared with the girl from the old Lin family? The girl from the old Lin family is a lucky star!"

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and most of them expressed envy for the Lin family. A month ago, the Lin family lived in a thatched hut just like them, but in just over a month, they were living in a blue brick and tile house with a large yard.

The Lin family members all looked very happy, especially Lin Dashan, who was a man of few words and could only drink one glass after another. No matter who came to toast him, he would drink with a smile.

Mrs. Xu looked at Shen Wanning as if she were the God of Wealth. She even refused to let her help with cooking in the kitchen and sent her back to her room to read.
