After rebirth, I started a life of attributes

Chapter 102 Jealousy

"Hey, darling, Chen Feng's family has become more prosperous this year. They bought a new TV cabinet, a new TV, and a washing machine."

"No wonder it's almost Chinese New Year and I'm still making money outside without going home. It turns out I'm rich."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Chen Feng's parents seem to have made a lot of money this year. It's really enviable."

"I bought a TV cabinet, a large color TV, and a washing machine. It looks like I will build a third floor after the Chinese New Year."

"..."

Seeing that Chen Feng's family, the poorest in the village, had three pieces of "furniture" replaced at one time, the villagers commented that Chen Feng's parents must have made a lot of money outside this year.

Whichever family in the village is prosperous is the focus of villagers' public opinion. Countryside people are most jealous of others who are living better than themselves.

Even though he said he didn't care, he was really jealous behind the scenes.

Therefore, after seeing that Chen Feng's family purchased three pieces of "high-end furniture" at one time, the aunts in the village finally gathered in front of the small bamboo forest to discuss everything about Chen Feng's family.

Regarding the villagers' comments, although Chen Feng stayed at home, he also knew that the aunt in the village was jealous of his family.

Although the aunts in the village always did so secretly when talking about his family, Chen Feng, who had seen through the country aunts, could guess it.

There is no need to catch him at all.

The aunts' discussions didn't matter to Chen Feng. They weren't talking in front of Chen Feng anyway. As long as Chen Feng couldn't hear them, they wouldn't affect Chen Feng's mood.

Even if you discuss it in front of Chen Feng, it's okay. Chen Feng won't offend the aunts anyway.

As a new young man, how could Chen Feng care about a vulgar country aunt?

It's useless to argue with the country aunt, because the loser will always be you, not the country aunt.

When it comes to quarreling, no one can beat the country aunt with the perfect "quarrel" skill.

Unfortunately, the quarrel skill is not recognized by the system and cannot be picked up from the aunt.

If he can pick up the quarrel skill, maybe Chen Feng will have a duel with the aunts to see who is the king of quarrels in the village.

…………

Life in the country is slow and relaxed, without too much anxiety or impatience; the pressure of life is also very relaxed.

The only drawback is that the quality of country people is not very high, and they always make noises over trivial matters.

No, early in the morning, Chen Feng, who was still enjoying the warm quilt, was woken up by the quarrel outside the window.

"I'm so tired of making such a fuss so early in the morning!"

Chen Feng, who was woken up, cursed in a low voice while listening to the two aunts arguing outside.

Of course, Chen Feng only dared to curse the quarrelsome aunt in a low voice with the window closed, and did not dare to open the window and curse loudly.

Chen Feng got up and went to the window, listening carefully, trying to understand the reason for the quarrel between the two aunts.

After listening to the two aunts arguing for a while, Chen Feng, who was eavesdropping, finally understood the reason for the quarrel between the two aunts.

The reason is very simple: one aunt's chickens always go to the other aunt's vegetable plot to eat vegetables; the aunt who was so angry that the vegetable plot was ruined by chickens beat a chicken to death with a stick, so the two Auntie started arguing like this
"It's a trivial matter, what about it?"

After understanding the cause and effect, Chen Feng shook his head.

Obviously it can be solved by paying money, but it will only stop if there is a big fight and the two of them turn against each other.

I would rather turn against someone than spend a few dollars to solve the problem.

Most of the time, country people attach too much importance to the vegetables they grow and the chickens they raise.

They always feel that not everyone can waste the vegetables they grow or the chickens they raise, and they will get angry with anyone who wastes it.

It is impossible to reconcile with money, it must be argued.

Don't be unable to swallow this breath.

This is the logic of country aunts.

So, don’t reason with country aunts, it won’t work. …………

"Listen to the noise, it's probably going to be noisy for a long time. You'd better get up."

Listening to the heated argument between the two aunts outside the window, Chen Feng knew that the "war" would continue for a long time.

It was impossible for him to go back to sleep, so he might as well get up.

After washing up and having breakfast, it’s a new day.

Everything in the house has now been cleaned up by Chen Feng, and the TV cabinet has been replaced with a new one and equipped with a TV.

I also bought a washing machine so I don’t have to wash clothes by hand in the cold.

“The solid wood tables and chairs at home are still usable and not too old, so I won’t replace them with new ones.”

Looking at the relatively new tables and chairs in the living room, Chen Feng planned to replace them after a few more years.

Chen Feng spent nearly 2 yuan on replacing the TV cabinet, TV set, and washing machine, and the money in his card suddenly dropped by half.

Today, there are only more than 2 yuan left in Kali, and the house has not yet been renovated and added floors.

You have to save some money.

Kuaiyin's income in January is expected to be between 1 and 12. Plus the stock income and the more than 15 in the card, it is enough to repair the family's house.

However, in recent years, the prices of red bricks, sand, cement and other building materials have increased, and labor costs have increased even more outrageously.

A small laborer costs 120 yen a day, and a wall builder costs 300 yen a day. It is really expensive.

Therefore, it is better to set aside more money for house repairs.

Otherwise, there will be trouble when the money is not enough.

Although he could pay on credit, Chen Feng didn't want to pay on credit at all.

Credit accounts tend to cause more troubles. Country people take money too seriously. They always think that you will have no money to pay back, and then they will come to you every now and then to remind you.

Many times, after only three days of credit, we start to push for it, it's just...
"The labor of a wall-builder is expensive. In fact, I can build the wall myself. After all, I have level [-] wall-building skills. My craftsmanship is definitely better than the hired wall-builder."

Thinking that the labor of wall builders was very expensive, Chen Feng immediately thought of his level [-] wall building skills.

"It's a pity that I still have to go to school"

Although Chen Feng has wall-building skills, he is still a college student and has to go back to school and has no time to build a house at home.

Therefore, he has to hire a wall builder to help him build a house, and the money still has to be spent.

Unless, the construction period will be stopped for now, and Chen Feng will go back to his hometown to build a house after his summer vacation.

However, this is impossible. If he had money, Chen Feng would not work so hard on himself.

It is definitely more cost-effective to ask a wall builder to help build a house.

It would be impossible for him to go home during the holidays and build a house!

During the summer vacation, he used it to relax.

After roughly estimating the material and labor costs required to build a three-story home, the cost is nearly 18.

After seeing that the fee was 15, Chen Feng frowned.

Why are you frowning? Because the 15 yuan is only the material cost and labor cost for adding the first floor to the third floor, and the decoration of the house has not yet been completed.

If you add in the decoration of the house, the total cost may be more than 20.

"Money is becoming less and less valuable."

Looking at the cost of adding floors and decoration, Chen Feng sighed.

The 20 yuan ten years ago was definitely enough to build a three-story building and decorate it.
