Lingquan, a peasant girl: the bully in the whole family is just me

Chapter 9 Home Again
"That's not worth a piece of meat!" Yao Xiangbei settled the account, and it's fine if he has already sent it to his third uncle, so why should he send it to Lizheng?
Yao Lan was a little overwhelmed, "He even asked for the gift money for you today."

One tael of silver is missing, and now I have to cut the meat!Absolutely not.

"Father, the money that elder brother left for you before he left was to build a house."

When Yao Da drove away, he left twenty taels of silver to build a house, ten taels for the bride price of the Yang family, four taels for buying Yan Yuanhao, plus daily food and drink, now there are only five taels of silver left.

Considering the increase in the population of the Yao family and food and drink in the future, five liang of silver is obviously not enough to build a bigger house, and twelve liang of silver is not enough to buy the desired land and then build a house.

Now that the dowry money is coming back, the first task is naturally to build a house.

Yao Lan reminded him that her eldest brother is nineteen years old and hasn't married a wife yet. The house is only the size of a palm. If a new house is not built, the eldest brother will not be able to marry a wife, and the third brother will not even want to marry a wife. If the second brother comes back in the future, You can only play bachelor.

Then another dose of strong medicine was given, "Msanggong said, this house is not going to work, and if there is another heavy rain, it might collapse. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we should build the house as soon as possible."

Yao Xiangbei thought this was the case. When he first got twenty taels of silver, he thought about building seventeen tile-roofed houses and building a tidy yard with a decent view.

At that time, the weather was not suitable for building a house, and in a blink of an eye, there was a big shortage of money.

With the endorsement of Yuan Hao's words, it didn't take much effort for Yao Lan to persuade his father and brother to build a house early, but both father and son were unwilling to choose the land for the site selection. .

The only advantage is that the place is big enough, what's the use of being big?That's more northwest wind.

Yao Lan thought it was very good there, with mountains behind, a road in front, and a river next to it, and it would be close to the city by building a bridge in the future, and it would be perfect when he had money to dig a well.

Yan Xiangbei felt that his daughter was whimsical. Although he didn't want to hurt her, he couldn't keep her awake. "Do you know how much it costs to dig a well? And did you build the bridge whenever you wanted?"

"How much does it cost to drill a well?" She really didn't know.

"It's not small money. The well in the village cost a full sixteen taels of silver." Drilling a well is much more expensive than building a house, and now 51 households in the village are crowded to use a well.

"It's only sixteen taels of silver?" Yao Sanshun's tone was full of complacency, "Father, do you know how much silver we earned today?"

"How many?"

"you guess."

"Five cents." Only then did Yao Xiangbei realize something was wrong, "Where did you get the money to buy meat?"

Yao Lan...Father, your pursuit of children is very low.

Yao Xiangbei, who was full of anger when he went out, knew that his son and daughter killed a wild boar and sold it for twelve taels of silver, so he lost his anger instantly.

Knowing that ginger can be grown in sandy land, even if I haven’t figured out what ginger is, I decided to buy the piece of land that my daughter is looking for. Zuo Zuo’s family doesn’t grow land at all, so it’s good to grow some vegetables for daily consumption.

There was no light at home, and the whole family ate whole grain noodles in the kitchen.

As for Yan Yuanhao, he could only make do with the faint moonlight.

Farmers rarely have the opportunity to eat meat, let alone in the exile village. He can't remember how long he hasn't eaten meat. The bitterness was taken away, "This is not wild boar."

"Don't even think about wild boar meat, it's all sold." Even if you can't see the face clearly, it's good to hear the voice.

"Very good."

"Aren't you going to ask me how much I sold it for?"

"You are so smart, the business is naturally good." Yan Yuanhao said.

Yao Lan also felt that she was very good today. Not only did she succeed in doing business for the first time in her life, but she also got an extra two dongs of money. With the dowry money that Yao Xiangbei wanted back, she could buy land and build a house.

For some reason, feeling the excitement in her words, Yan Yuanhao only felt an indescribable joy in his heart
Yao Lan also inquired a little about the exile village, after all, she was going to build a house nearby.

It is said to be an exile village, but it is actually a quarry, most of which are exiles, and some are the family members of criminals after three generations or refugees who have nowhere to go to do coolies there. There was quarrying before Tangjia Village. field.

Now the fields in Tangjia Village have been reclaimed almost, and the surrounding population has doubled. Not only have three new county towns been established, but a new state capital called Nanchu Prefecture has also been established this year.

A month ago, news came that the emperor had granted the Ninth Prince a fiefdom here, and the common people were worried about whether there would be an increase in taxes in the future with one more master.

No matter how the surroundings change, the exile village is still an exile village. The quarry seems to be endlessly mined. It is said that the dead coolies inside can be piled up into a new mountain.

It will be sold, either by the family of the criminal who has little relationship, or by the victim who is dying.

After talking about some things in the quarry, Yan Yuanhao asked, "Aren't you going to ask me what crime I committed?"

Yao Lan said: "It shouldn't be a big crime to be able to buy and sell casually, right?"

After all, her father only spent four taels of silver. With this amount of money, he was at best a stealthy person.

Yan Yuanhao snorted coldly, "It's just that there is corruption in the court, and local corruption is prevalent."

Yao Lan has not traveled for a long time, but she also knows that today is not the era of freedom of speech. It is a casual thing to discuss the imperial court's decapitation. If you can't, at least learn to shut up and don't implicate others."

Yan Yuanhao looked at her in surprise.

"What's wrong with me?" Yao Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

"Opening your mouth to say 'become an official or rebel' is simply audacious." Yan Yuanhao gave her a conclusion.

Yao Lan thought he was bold, but never thought that the rebellion she casually mentioned would be a serious crime of beheading and ransacking, so she couldn't help secretly regretting it, and reminded her to pay attention in the future.

"I don't know much from the countryside. If you want to recuperate in my home, you can be my husband well. When you recover from your injury, you can leave as you please, but you must not cause trouble for the family." Yao Lan felt the heart of the people in front of her There is absolutely no facial features that are pleasing to the eye, maybe it will really bring disaster.

Yan Yuanhao nodded slightly, "I will definitely not cause trouble for my family."

One sentence blurted out, and he found himself at home again.

"That's good." Yao Lan patted him on the shoulder, "As long as you are honest, we will be a loving family."

It is better to have teammates than enemies.

Yan Yuanhao was shocked by her family's love for each other, pursed his lips and asked, "You just said that the two restaurants you went to during the day sell similar dishes?"

"What are you asking for?"

"I am your husband, how can I let you be wronged?"

Accepting who you are so quickly?
