Medicine Fragrance Pastoral: Nongmen Pretty Lady

Chapter 40
In fact, most of the villagers are not bad-hearted, it's just that the life is so hard that they lost their way in many aspects.

Seeing Bai Xuening's tears, some people feel pity. They still have a house to live in, but Bai Xuening's mother and son live in a pigsty. If they are still aggressive, they will be too unconscionable!
"Madam Bai, we have already brought the ground vegetables to your house, what do you think should we do? We can't let us bring them back again, can we?"

"It's not enough to pull it back, but the price is the highest three cents per catty, even if the people who came to exchange before come here to exchange it, it will be three cents!" Seeing that some of them showed goodwill, Bai Xuening raised the price by another cent.

"Okay, then three cents a catty!" Someone said.

Others sighed and echoed, "Three cents is three cents!" It's better to sell it for three cents per catty than to go to the market for one penny per catty, and what's more, people don't recognize the dried ground vegetables?
This afternoon was unloading and receiving goods, but Bai Xuening was very tired. Fortunately, the two children were caring, and they would beat her back and bring her tea and water, making Bai Xuening shout "this The pain of the two children is really not in vain!"

Until it got dark, there were still people coming to exchange land vegetables. Bai Xuening couldn't help complaining, "It's really a native farmer. When it was five cents, few people came to exchange it. When it was three cents, there was a lot of traffic. No wonder They will be so poor, and they will be farmers all their lives, and they will not be unreasonable, and their brains will not be flexible!"

As more and more crops are harvested, the need to build a fence is imminent!Bai Xuening has been thinking about this when she can't sleep at night, what kind of wall is going to be built?How long will it take again?
The next morning, Bai Xuening went to the intersection of Baijiazhuang to spread the news, saying that recruitment, building a fence, thirty cents a day, lunch at noon, such a good job, the people in the village were overwhelmed, and some even Said that there is no need to worry about the meal at noon, as long as 30 Wen is enough.

Although there were a lot of people who signed up, Bai Xuening made more than half of them. She only needed a few experienced foremen and some small workers who seemed to be able to endure hardships. Ning also gave each of them a lunch subsidy of 30 Wen. The wages were 50 Wen for the small worker and [-] Wen for the foreman!
With so many people, the area of ​​the three houses is only surrounded by walls and no roof is built. It took less than two days to finish it, and the next step is to wait for the soil to dry.

After the wall was built, there were still a lot of bricks left. The foreman said that those bricks were almost enough to build a room. After Bai Xuening made up his mind, he went to Jishang to buy some gray tiles, and asked several foremen to build a hut for them. The one with the roof.

Bai Xuening planned to use this hut as a bedroom for the three of them, mother and child. A house with a roof and a door is better than a semi-covered pigsty. After all, autumn is over and winter is over, so living in a semi-closed pigsty is not enough.

Building walls, building houses, harvesting land vegetables, after all the tossing, Bai Xuening only has 15 taels of silver in her hands of more than 3 taels. Next, she wants to build two beds, one for her children and one for herself, and buy some New quilts, and land and vegetable money...

Thinking about it, Bai Xuening felt melancholy again, "Why is she short of money again? Didn't everyone become a little rich man? These days are really hard... no, it's hard to live without a man!"
