Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 169 Building a house, buying land again (2)
After staying in the Lin Mansion for a few months, she no longer thinks that the master really likes her and treats her well. She is just a new thing. It's like mud on the ground, let people trample on it!Even now, she is still favored, and few people take her seriously. If there is no favor in the future, she can't imagine what she will be like!
So when she came here this time, she just wanted to ask Zhang Xiaocao for help. As long as that thing is done, the master will definitely look at her differently, even the old lady will look at her high. As long as she falls into the old lady's eyes, she will No need to face that narrow-minded and ruthless stepwife Meng Shi with trepidation anymore!

After Zhang Xiaocao heard her words, she didn't say anything, her face showed an impatient look, but the weirdness in her heart became more and more serious!Being able to say these words in front of her with such a proud temperament of hers, it can be seen that she has really changed. As expected, those who have stayed in the gate of the mansion are as if they have been completely reborn. In a few years, I am afraid that they will look different again up!

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhang Baozhu was still so impatient, she was still acting like this in front of her, and she was still acting like that, feeling herself was a waste of time again, it's really abominable, if she didn't ask her for something, She had already slapped her across the face!

Suppressing the injustice in her heart, she bit the bullet and continued, "I came here this time to ask for your help!"

Zhang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got to the point, let her do this a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat at night!

"Help? I don't understand! I'm just a little village girl, how can I help you!"

When Zhang Baozhu saw that she hadn't said anything, she was busy refusing, feeling ashamed, but she couldn't say anything!
She laughed dryly, and said pretending to be emotional: "Who in this area doesn't know that you have grown high-yield cotton, and even the people in the town are talking about it!"

Zhang Xiaocao's heart tightened, she came here for cotton again!Is this her own initiative, or is Master Lin still unwilling to give up and wants her to take the lead and take advantage of it later?
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaocao said, "I just wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect to hit it right, and I don't know if it will work next year!"

Envy immediately appeared on Zhang Baozhu's face: "Then you are lucky. Others don't know what to do if they think about it. Just try it!"

She didn't believe that she really came up with this idea in her heart, she just thought it was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse!

Seeing her insincere words, Zhang Xiaocao sarcastically said: "No, many people must think that I am a blind cat who bumped into a dead mouse. In fact, I also think so, but those people can't bump into it if they want to, compared to me. This 'blind cat' is worse!"

The corners of Zhang Baozhu's eyes twitched violently, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Zhang Xiaocao didn't look at her ugly face, and continued: "This cotton has also signed a contract with Mr. Le. He pays money to buy the land, and the cotton I grow belongs to him. It is a benefit for both parties! Yes, cooperate with Mr. Le with peace of mind, continue to plant cotton, and live a better life with cotton and be content!"

After Zhang Baozhu heard her words, she couldn't figure out what she meant for a moment. Was it a refusal or something else?
"Then you haven't thought about anything else? I heard that the cotton is half of you. Are you willing to grow the cotton you have worked so hard to make it so cheap for others?"

When Zhang Xiaocao heard the words, there was a sneer in her eyes. It seemed that what she said was too euphemistic, some people could not understand!
"Why don't you be reconciled, he bought so much land with money, even the people who tended the cotton were bought by him, speaking of it, I still took advantage!"

Zhang Baozhu choked again, not knowing how to proceed to achieve her goal, she was unwilling to let her give up!
Zhang Xiaocao seized the opportunity of her hesitation, got up and said: "I have something to go back, what I said before is true, you can do it yourself!"

After finishing speaking, without giving her a chance to speak, she just strode away!

Zhang Baozhu didn't expect her to leave as soon as she said so, so she hurriedly shouted to stop, who knew that she walked very fast, turned around the courtyard gate and disappeared, stomping her feet in anger!

Zhang Xiaocao walked a long way in one breath, and looked back from time to time, for fear that Zhang Baozhu would catch up with her. She has changed a lot. According to her previous temperament, she will never be like today, and she will definitely open her mouth to follow her. she wants.

The reason why she said the rejection so tactfully was to save some face for each other. If Zhang Baozhu was provoked, she really didn't know what this person would do next!
Zhang Xiaocao went straight back to Aunt Liu's house, thinking that the house would be built in a few days, but she had to pick a good day to break the ground, but she didn't know anything about it. Seeing Zhang Shude weaving bamboo baskets, she hurried forward and asked, "Grandpa De?" , My house is going to be built, I want to pick a good day, do you think there are only a few days left in August, which day is better?"

Zhang Shude put down the half-woven bamboo basket in his hand, thought for a while and said: "The days on Saturday and August are not bad. Today is August 26, and the only remaining days are 28 and [-]!"

Zhang Xiaocao thought about it, and felt that it was too late. The nearest one would take eight or nine days!

"Isn't it possible on the twentieth day? First clear the site, there is still some mud in the burnt thatched house, so we have to get rid of it first!"

"August [-]th? This day should be fine. You can ask the patriarch first. He has an old almanac in his hand. Let him show you. If it's okay, then it's fine!"

Zhang Shude thought about it, and thought it should be possible. As long as it is not a double day with the word "four", there are not so many taboos, and other double days will not be a big problem!
Zhang Xiaocao responded happily, turned around and went to the patriarch's house.

Knowing that she was going to break ground to build a house on August [-], the patriarch quickly showed her a dilapidated old almanac, and finally said: "Twenty is a good day, it's time to start ground, good luck!"

Zhang Xiaocao felt relieved when she heard that the naivete was okay. The winter here was coming quickly and it was still very cold. Although the house was not too big, there was a lot of delicate work. One and a half months was still a bit tight. It will take some time to build houses for the 54 people who bought them to grow medicinal materials, although they will not be the same as they live in.

But fortunately, although the houses of this era also use paint and other things, compared with modern decoration materials, the houses here are undoubtedly much safer. You don’t need to wait three to five months before you can move in after you build them. Here, you only need to clean the new house , ventilate, you can live in people!

Smiling all the way back from the patriarch's house, I met a lot of people on the way, and when they learned that she was going to start building a house on August [-], they all happily congratulated her, but many people thought that if it wasn't for the busy farming, they could go to help, One is to be happy, and the other is to earn some money.

Zhang Xiaocao knew what they meant, and said with a smile: "After the house is built, I will definitely invite all uncles to warm the house. When Xiaocao comes to invite you, uncles and uncles, don't refuse to come!"
