Chapter 239

"Sister-in-law of the Li family, don't worry, we all rely on our handicrafts to eat, and you will definitely not be able to catch any faults in the workmanship, but the house built by Miss Bai is really too big and has a lot of rooms, and the price I estimated will not exceed much."

"Besides, Miss Bai chose a green brick and tile house, and the construction cost is not low. If this house is built, it must be the first one. You will know whether it is worth it or not."

After speaking, Master Li explained the materials of the house to the two of them again, where wood should be used, and where blue bricks should be used, and the explanation was very detailed.

In the end, the two talked about the details of the subcontracting in detail, and went to the brick kiln factory. They didn't even miss a lunch provided by the host at noon.

Both parties felt that there was no objection, and the signing of the document marked the beginning of the cooperation.

Master Li looked at the almanac again, and the start date was set on August 22, which was auspicious and suitable for groundbreaking.

After paying the deposit, Bai Ningxiang and Mrs. Li returned to the town,
"Godmother, I would like to invite Zhao Wenpo from the town to stay at home for a few days. My mother's delivery period is coming soon. I heard from Aunt Deng that some people will be in advance and others will be behind. I am afraid that something will go wrong, so I want to make arrangements in advance."

"After the family gets busy, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it. I can always feel at ease by asking Mrs. Wen to go home in advance."

"Well, you are a filial child. Zhao Wenpo is a well-known midwife around us, with outstanding abilities. It is indeed a good idea to please go home."

Mrs. Li patted her dry daughter's hand, feeling emotional in her heart, normally it would not be the turn of a sister to arrange this kind of thing, what a pity, alas!
Zhao Wenpo lived on the south street of the town. When Bai Ningxiang and the two arrived, she had just returned from shopping for vegetables. After hearing Bai Ningxiang's explanation of her visit, she blinked her eyes.

"Are you from Bashan Village?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Mrs. Zhao Wen won't go to the village to deliver the baby?" Mrs. Li patted her goddaughter's hand and asked.

"That's not true. It's not that my old lady is talking big. My ability is inherited from my ancestors. As long as I am willing, there will be no mothers that I can't deliver... But the old lady's fees are not low, you can think about it. "

Bai Ningxiang frowned, "Possessive Zhao Wen is doing the work for us, and what I want is also your craftsmanship. As for the money, since I found it, how can I be short of that little money, and naturally I won't treat you badly."

She had already sent someone to inquire about it. Although Mrs. Zhao was a bit of a philistine, she was indeed experienced, and a capable person could accept it even if she was proud.

Hearing Bai Ningxiang's tone, Mrs. Zhao curled her lips, her eyes were obviously very excited, but she tried her best to hold back, her wrinkled face trembled from time to time, which was not very pleasing.

"Miss, think it over. If I live in the house with the girl and wait for the wife to give birth, in addition to the delivery fee of ten taels of silver, if I have not given birth for more than five days, I will add half a tael of lost work every day. The meal requires three dishes and one soup, two meat and one vegetable. It also needs a separate room, and it would be even better if there is a maid to serve the daily life."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhao patted the wrinkles on her body, stood in the yard with her head held high, and looked at Li Shi and Bai Ningxiang with a rather haughty expression.

"Possess Zhao Wen, we came here because we knew you were good at craftsmanship, but isn't the condition you raised too harsh? We are all ordinary farmers. How can ordinary people bear the conditions you raise?"

Mrs. Li looked at Zhao Wenpo in shock, her eyes full of disbelief.
