Chapter 41
Tao Hechen thought for a while, and then said, "How about we follow the example of the village chief's family and use half of the mud bricks and half of the green bricks? But in this case, there must be a lot of money."

Green bricks are expensive. A green brick costs three pennies. To build a house plus a yard, it costs at least 8000 yuan. A blue brick house costs at least three or forty taels of silver, even if only half of the blue bricks are used, it will cost one or twenty taels of silver.

And I heard that if you use green bricks, you need to find a professional bricklayer. The wages plus daily meals are another expense. Calculated in this way, the total cost of building a house is about 40 taels of silver.

However, as long as the younger sister is happy, it is fine, after all, the money is also due to the younger sister.

"Use blue bricks..." When Duan heard this, his heart beat a little. He didn't know if the 100 taels of silver would be enough to build a house and send Erlang to school.

Despite the beating in her heart, Duan still turned her head to look at Qianlian. Qianlian's performance in the past few days has already made Duan want to listen to Qianlian's opinion on everything involuntarily.

Qian Lian didn't hesitate at all: "Don't want half mud bricks, if you want to build, you can build blue bricks."

Duan was a little hesitant: "Sanya, I'm afraid there is not enough money."

"Mother, let's just listen to my little sister who builds green bricks." Tao Hechen said hastily, he just went back to the school later, and he worked hard to earn more money these days.

Qian Lian smiled: "Don't worry about money, we have enough money, today I made another 300 taels of silver."

Ah Fu came at a good time today, and she happened to use Ah Fu to clear the money for selling orchids.

"Today?" Tao Hechen didn't expect the little girl to earn another 300 taels of silver in just one day: "Little sister, how many ginseng did you pick?"

Duan Shi also looked at Qian Lian with a look of surprise. This was really shocking to Duan Shi. Does her girl earn hundreds of taels of silver now?

Qian Lian smiled: "It's just that I want to do Mr. Tuesday a favor, and Mr. Tuesday gave 300 taels of silver as a reward."

Mrs. Duan knew that Ah Fu and Qian Lian were talking alone in the afternoon, so she thought it was about this matter, nodded and said: "It turns out that Manager Fu is looking for you to talk about this matter, but what is there for 300 taels of silver?" Reward? Sanya, it’s not something dangerous, right? If it’s something dangerous, you don’t have to agree, even if we don’t want the 300 taels of silver, it won’t put you in danger.”

Compared with money, Duan is more concerned about the safety of her own daughter, so why do you want to help, even give 300 taels of silver as a reward!
"Don't worry, there's no danger." Qian Lian smiled and said, "Then it's settled, we'll build a green brick house."

"Okay." Since the money is abundant, Duan and Tao Hechen naturally have no objections, so the family of three reached an agreement on building a house.

Qian Lian grinned: "Brother, you haven't seen the thank you gift from the Zhou family yet, so you should go and see it right now."

"it is good."

The thank you gifts from the Zhou family were all placed in Duan's room, and when he went to Duan's room, Tao Hechen asked Qian Lian worriedly: "Little sister, what the master asked you to do on Tuesday is really not dangerous. Right? Don't hide it from my mother and me, we must never do dangerous things."

"Really, brother, just put your heart in your stomach."

When Tao Hechen saw the two food boxes of fruit snacks and four bolts of high-quality cloth, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise: "The Zhou family sent such a precious thank you gift."

The four bolts of cloth are all high-quality cotton. The Zhou family is very careful about this. The colors of the cloth are stone blue, madder, light red, and lake blue. Obviously, Qianlian's family has been taken into consideration. Those snacks They are all from Lianye Zhai in the town, and they are expensive, not to mention these, even the fruits are not something ordinary farmers can afford.

"These cloths are just right for us to make some clothes." Qian Lian said to Tao Hechen with a smile. Useful.

"Okay." Tao Hechen responded with a smile.

Qian Lian smiled and said to Duan Shi: "Mother, I will leave these cloths to you."

Duan's hand is ingenious, all the family's clothes have always been made by Duan.

Duan nodded, thought for a while, and then asked Qianlian a little bit tentatively: "Sanya, do you think we should send some to your grandparents?"

"What are you sending them to?" Qian Lian frowned slightly when she heard the words: "Mom, didn't you see the eyes of grandma and auntie today? It's because your eyes are glued to these things as soon as you enter the yard. You don't care how much you give, people will only think that you don't give less, and it's only right to give them all, whether it's good or not, you will be scolded high and low, since you have been scolded from left and right, why give it to them?"

"But..." Duan pursed her lips: "If we don't send things to the old house, I'm afraid the villagers will say that we are not filial to the elders."

Qian Lian's voice became higher when she heard the words: "Whoever wants to say it, let him say it. If you say we are not filial, let's compare it with the pension money first, let alone four taels. Who can give the old man two taels a year?" pension money?"

Tao Hechen also said: "Mother, just listen to my little sister."

"Then... that's fine."

Qian Lian took a breath, and then took a deep breath, but she still couldn't hold it back: "Mother, you don't have to pay so much attention to your reputation in the future, as long as you have money and power in this world, who would dare to take you lightly?" ? Look at the village chief today, does he treat us differently than in the past?"

Duan nodded.

"Then why is that?"

Duan pursed her lips: "Because of the Zhou family."

"So." Qian Lian said, "Mother, what do you think the village head and clan elders will do if the old house asks us to rewrite the separation documents?"

Before Duan could speak, Tao Hechen pursed his lips and said, "The document probably cannot be changed."

At this moment, Tao Hechen's desire to excel in his studies became more intense.

Duan pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Sanya, mother understands."
