Chapter 81 Request
"The third brother is not that kind of person." Xu Yuanqiao argued, but he didn't have any confidence, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Jiao Chun'e was on fire, and when she heard the words, she cursed again.

"Third brother and third brother, do you treat me as a younger brother? Do people treat you as an elder brother? You always have to worry about little things with us. The girl in his family has caused wheat ears to the point where she has no children now, and I don't see what they have. Said, hmph, sure enough, this was not born by the same father and mother, or the heart was not in the same place."

Xu Yuanqiao didn't speak.

He faintly felt that something was wrong, but under the influence of Jiao Shi, he couldn't help thinking about it.

Xu Huilan and Qin Shi couldn't help shaking their heads when they heard the elders' dispute outside the door.

"Sister-in-law, I think Elder Sister Baozhu is very nice. She even gave me meat to eat. Why does Auntie hate her so much?"

Qin Shi caressed her face and reprimanded her in a low voice: "Don't worry about the adults' affairs, children."

……

Xu Baozhu was quite surprised by the efficiency of the old man Xu and the people of Huaihua Village, but after a few days of agreement, the house began to see the first results.

Seeing the firewood piled up one after another outside the yard, Xu Baozhu felt warm in his heart, and he became more energetic in his work.

But within a few days, the matter had to be shelved.

Qian Cheng got married, his family helped him a lot earlier, Mr. Xu is a kind person, he would rather owe himself than owe the friendship of others.

Therefore, she should help out of the situation and reason.

When Mother Qian begged her, Xu Baozhu agreed without even thinking about it, but who would have thought that just because of such a matter, she would be troubled both inside and out.

I don't know where the new daughter-in-law heard about the past between the original owner and Qian Cheng. She was calculating, targeted her everywhere, and stopped letting the Qian family brothers come to help.

Old man Xu looked at the unfinished foundation, sighed again and again, and asked the old carpenter, "Big brother, look at this... can you think of a way?"

The old carpenter took over the job, so naturally he didn't dare to be negligent, he kept planing the wood in his hand, and said casually: "It's not impossible, but if I send someone to help you here, the cost... needs to be added ten times." two."

"Twelve?"

Old man Xu opened his eyes wide in shock.

The old carpenter said: "These firewood, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, are shaped and usable. I can't ask people to work for nothing here. We are in the same village, so I only collect so much. If we go out..."

He looked at the few men who were busy working on the foundation, and said, "If we go out, we will not be able to charge more than this amount just for doing the work we do now."

Old man Xu was silent.

The man reminded again: "The existing wood alone is not enough to go down a pile. If it can't be connected, then we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to continue..."

"I understand I understand."

The old man Xu said that he understood, but he felt troubled in his heart. It’s not that he didn’t have the ten taels of silver, but it was his daughter’s money. He had agreed with the old carpenter that their family was responsible for the firewood and didn’t need the other party’s materials. , I only charged 15 taels, and now I add it, and there are other odds and ends, I am afraid that this amount of money is not enough.

But the house can't be built, and the daughter and her grandmother are always squeezed together, and it's not an option for Brother Yun to live with him.

Xu Baozhu was aware of the old man Xu's frowning look, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

She put a robe on the man and said comfortingly: "Father, don't worry about it, how about it, I will go to my sister-in-law to explain in two days, let's clear up the misunderstanding, and it will be fine naturally."

"Forget it." Old man Xu refused, "It's not like you didn't hear what she said a few days ago, so why bother?"

The old man Xu hangs his head, a little remorseful, "It's all my fault. I didn't take advantage of the cheap earlier and let the old carpenter be responsible. It won't be the case now, and it will cause you to be misunderstood."

Xu Baozhu didn't care about the misunderstanding.

Between her and Qian Cheng, not to mention the innocence of the original owner, she has no way of saying that there is any difference in affection. She is not afraid of the so-called clean ones themselves. Unfortunately, it is just... the matter of the house.

She wanted to ask clearly, to find out, to explain clearly, but this time it was not as simple as her aunt and Xu Changgui's joint deliberate frame-up earlier.

The crux of the problem was Qian Cheng's daughter-in-law.

If she doesn't believe it, no matter what she says, it's just a sophistry.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that." Xu Baozhu helped him up and said, "It's cold outside, you should go in and rest."

It is only early spring, the snow has just melted, and the air is fresh and bitterly cold.

Old man Xu got up and was about to go in when Li was walking in from the outside.

"You are here, tree root, it's just right, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Old man Xu turned back, sat down again, looked around the yard, and said, "Where's Brother Yun?"

"He's decocting medicine in the kitchen." Xu Baozhu replied, "Is there anything my lord can do with him?"

Li Zheng said: "It's not a big deal, it's just..."

"Then I'll call someone over."

"Ah."

When Xu Baozhu entered the room, he saw Zhu Yun decocting the medicine. People nowadays are getting more and more comfortable doing these small tasks.

"Let me do it."

She walked over, took the medicine jar from his hand, and said: "Master Lizheng is looking for you, it seems that there is something, you go and have a look."

"it is good."

……

She poured the decocted medicine into a bowl, sent it to Mrs. Xu, watched her drink it, and went back to the yard.

Before getting close, Li Zheng said: "I think Brother Yun has beautiful features, and if he plays the role of Flower Goddess, he must be better than worse."

It was originally for the Huachao Festival.

The Huachao Festival is a big day for the entire Qiancheng County, scheduled for February 25.

The temple fair was extremely lively, and the most important thing in the whole event was that the person who played the role of the Flower Goddess had to be outstanding in appearance and outstanding in temperament.

A few years ago, the Flower Goddess was played by a girl from Hehua Village, but this year the girl got married suddenly, and several villages have been worrying about this matter since the autumn harvest, and even held an event, But he didn't choose the right person. That day when he saw the daughter's house that Zhu Yun pretended to be, he was amazed for a moment, so he moved his mind, but he was afraid that he would have a grudge, so he dared not come to mention it. The day is getting closer, and I don't care much about it, so I took the liberty to come here.

Old man Xu looked at Zhu Yun when he heard the words, "Brother Yun, what do you say?"

Zhu Yun can still deal with the matter of the village school, but this matter...

"You don't need to reply to me in a hurry." He looked at Xu Baozhu behind him, and said, "You can discuss it with Bao girl in these two days."

Xu Baozhu, who was suddenly poked, smiled awkwardly, "This matter mainly depends on the meaning of my husband."

It is undeniable that she really wanted to see Zhu Yun dressed as the Goddess of Flower with red hairpins, but he was a man after all, if people minded, Xu Baozhu would definitely not impose her own ideas on him.
