"Yun Yazi, the hoe is ready, I've brought it to you."

Just as Zhang Yun finished talking to his parents, a voice drifted in from outside the door.

Old Zhang stood at the doorway with ten hoes on his back, a broad smile on his face.

Zhang Yun immediately went out, took the hoe, and then went to get some hard candy.

"Old Guai, thank you for bringing this over in person. Take these hard candies home for the kids."

Zhang Yun knew that Lao Guai had several young grandchildren, so since Lao Guai was delivering the goods to his door, he would give him some candy as payment for the delivery.

Old Zhang happily accepted the hard candy, said thank you, and turned to leave.

"Old Guai, wait a minute, I remember you said you used to be a carpenter."

Zhang Yun pulled Zhang Laoguai back.

"Yes, I was a skilled carpenter when I was young. All the furniture in my house now was made by myself."

Old Zhang said with considerable pride.

"Old Guai, as you know, I need to build a new house and get married, so I'll definitely need to make new furniture."

"Can you take this job?"

Zhang Yun asked with a smile.

Old Zhang froze instantly.

This surprise came so suddenly!

What a windfall!

Zhang Yun approached Zhang Laoguai with the intention of helping him.

Instead of letting carpenters from other villages earn this money, why not let the people from our own village earn it?

Moreover, Zhang Laoguai is an honest man, and Zhang Yun believes that Zhang Laoguai can do the job well.

"Yes, I can take it."

“Yun Ya Zi, if you are willing to trust Lao Guai, I will certainly not let you down.”

"To be honest, the carpentry apprentices I once took on are now quite capable carpenters in other villages."

"Old Guai told them that they had to give me face."

Old Zhang hurriedly replied.

Zhang Yun nodded: "Okay, I believe you."

"Tomorrow, the ground for my house will be leveled, the foundation will be dug, and the size and layout of each house will be known."

"Tomorrow afternoon, come to my house and take measurements on-site. I'll then discuss the types, sizes, and quantities of furniture with you, as well as the prices."

After listening, Old Zhang nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Laoguai left.

Zhang Yun also went to his third uncle Zhang Jiwu's house and saw the family of five gathered around the octagonal table, discussing something.

"Brother Yun!"

Zhang Yixin and Zhang Yiyi immediately stood up and called out as soon as they saw Zhang Yun arrive at the door.

"Brother Yun."

Zhang Yaya stood up gracefully and greeted them with a smile.

These past few days have also been the first time Zhang Yun has seen Zhang Yaya, this future high achiever.

"What are you talking about? You seem very happy."

Zhang Yun walked in with a smile and sat down next to Zhang Jiwu.

“We were just talking about you. Tomorrow you’re going to start building your new house. Your aunt, Yixinyi, and Yaya will all be going to help.”

“This time, your third uncle wants to emphasize to you that I am your own uncle. Building a new house is a major life event for you, and it is only right that I help you. You are not allowed to pay us wages.”

Zhang Jiwu said this very solemnly and with utmost seriousness.

Zhang Yun immediately understood. Zhang Jiwu had made a lot of money with Zhang Yun these past few days, and he was grateful. He couldn't accept having his family take Zhang Yun's wages again.

Zhang Yun understood that it wouldn't do for an uncle to charge his nephew wages; it would damage his reputation in the village.

"Okay, I see."

Zhang Yun agreed.

Changing the subject, Zhang Yun laughed and said, "Third Uncle, in a few days, I'll take you and your hunting team to Jiming Mountain for a good hunt."

“When you make money, Uncle, buy a piece of land next to my new house.”

At this moment, Zhang Yun cannot reveal the news that the tea plantation will become the location of the Qushui Town government in the future; he can only offer kind words of advice.

"Okay, Uncle, I'll listen to you."

Zhang Jiwu agreed without hesitation.

When the three brothers divided the family property, Zhang Boshu took five rooms under the pretext of supporting his parents, while Zhang Zhongli and Zhang Jiwu each took three rooms.

Zhang Jiwu's family was also crammed into one room, living a very uncomfortable life. He had long wanted to buy land and build a house.

Now, Zhang Jiwu has earned almost a hundred in just a few days by following Zhang Yun, so he naturally prefers to buy land first.

"Alright, Uncle, come with me to the Linshui Mine again tomorrow morning."

After finishing his business, Zhang Yun got up to leave.

"Good."

Zhang Jiwu's face lit up with a smile when he heard this; he was happy as long as he had something to do.

"Brother Yun, take care."

Yixin, Yiyi, and Yaya, the three siblings, stood up and spoke.

Zhang Yun turned around, looked at the three of them, and encouraged them, "You three must study hard. If the country reinstates the college entrance examination, you must get into university. I'll cover your tuition then."

After saying that, Zhang Yun strode away.

Zhang Yixin, Zhang Yiyi, and Zhang Yaya nodded emphatically, expressing their deep gratitude.

When Zhang Yun returned home, Wang Yuanhui and Zhang Boshu, who had been peeking through the window, both wore gloomy faces and grumbled angrily.

"Look at how smug Zhang Yun is. He thinks that once he builds a new house, his good days are coming."

Wang Yuanhui sneered.

"Don't worry, I already spoke with Duan Hongbing this afternoon. He will go to Jigong Mountain to keep watch at dawn tomorrow. As long as Zhang Yun shows up, tomorrow will be Zhang Yun's doom."

Zhang Boshu spoke coldly, his face grim.

Wang Yuanhui burst into laughter instantly.

On the other side, after Zhang Yun got home, he said, "Mom and Dad, sister, you should get some rest. We have to get up very early tomorrow morning."

"I'm going outside for a walk. Just leave the door slightly ajar. I probably won't be back until very late."

After saying that, Zhang Yun picked up the fertilizer bag on the wall and walked out.

Zhang Zhongli and Chen Wan both knew that Zhang Yun had a talent for hunting, and they automatically assumed that Zhang Yun had gone to catch wild animals. They also understood that Zhang Yun was under a lot of pressure and needed to earn a lot of money to build a new house, so neither of them spoke up to stop him.

Zhang Yun quickly arrived at the fields; he was heading straight for the Qushui River.

"There are still too few fish in the fishpond at plot number 4."

"Tomorrow, I need to send 100 jin of fish to the canteen and 200 jin to the supply and marketing cooperative. That's 300 jin gone. We can't keep up with the 1,000 jin of fish in the pond."

"There are so many places where I need money right now, and I need to earn 10,000 yuan in the next ten days or so. The pressure is immense."

"I can only place my hopes on the Qushui River. I must catch a lot of fish tonight."

Zhang Yun muttered to himself.

This is also why Zhang Yun came out under the cover of night. He needs to make full preparations for his next money-making plan. Only by catching a large number of fish and putting them in the fishpond in plot number 4 can he continuously supply the mine and the supply and marketing cooperative in the future.

Zhang Yun wanted to firmly control both of these sales channels.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yun arrived at the Qushui River.

Before long, Zhang Yun took out the net, tied one end to the tree roots on the bank, and the other end to a wooden stick in the middle of the river, forming a net wall.

Zhang Yun resorted to his old trick again, going up to a spot ten meters upstream and taking out a fertilizer bag filled with spiritual spring water.

The spring water inside the fertilizer bag slowly seeped out, flowed into the river, and drifted downstream.
