Chapter 68
In the first few years, when the village chief's family built a new house, the foundation was raised to a height of one foot. Everyone said that it took a lot of work, effort and money.But when it is built, it is really magnificent. Living in the house, the north and south are transparent, and it is not hot in summer and not cold in winter.

When Meng Da came back and saw this posture, he was taken aback, and hurried to discuss with Lin Zhuang.

"Such a grandeur is unacceptable!" The soil of thirty or forty carriages was used to lay the foundation, and the labor and carriage expenses were not small sums.If you build a house like this, you can't even hear the sound of throwing in a hundred taels of silver.

Lin Zhuang said with a smile after hearing this: "Naturally, I will be satisfied once I build the grave. Master Lin asked me to take full responsibility. Just find the best workers and use the best materials. Right now, Master Lin is still in the capital, and when he comes back to the grave in Qingming, when the time comes You must come and have a look. If the cover is not good, I will have to be boarded. Brother Meng has nothing to say until Master Lin comes, I dare not make the decision and keep it simple."

Meng Da didn't want to embarrass Lin Zhuang, but seeing the straight wood that was thicker than his waist, and the square green brick that made a crisp sound when he knocked it, he felt a little sorry.But Lin Zhuang was not willing to listen to his opinion, he only acted according to the original plan.

They came with a lot of people, and they were all experts in the work. In less than ten days, the house was rushing up and down.

Suddenly such a group of people came to the village to help the Meng family build a house, and the villagers felt both strange and surprised, so they had to come to watch the excitement.Everyone heard that Mr. Lin paid for the building of this house, and they all said that Meng Da had just got lucky.

Back then, when Meng Da saved Master Lin's life, Master Lin wanted to reward him with a lot of money, but Meng Da only received 25 taels of silver.Everyone secretly said he was stupid, but now it seems that he is playing a long line to catch big fish.Looking at the situation in front of him, this house cannot be built without two or three hundred taels of silver.We also need to build fences, build gatehouses, build pigpens and chicken coops on the east and west sides, and dig wells in the backyard to open up gardens...

Rural people live a life with a house and land, rice in the tank, vegetables in the garden, and a few chickens and pigs. That is a first-class good family.If there is another carriage, it will be a day like a fairy.

All the places have been reserved, so Master Lin will naturally not leave them empty.After the house was built, groups of pigs and chickens rushed in, and the life of the Meng family climbed to the sky in one step.In the future, Mr. Lin will definitely need his help. Who would dare to underestimate the Meng family after entering!

Everyone knows that Mr. Lin is an official in the capital, but they don't know what to do, they only know a big character, and they pass it on and off.It turned out that those who looked down on the Meng family all changed their faces, and those who had once squeezed Meng Da were anxious, for fear that Meng Da would find them bad luck.

Originally, Sanchun went to school later than others, and the fat boy next door led his classmates to isolate him, so he was always alone.In the past few days, there are always children going to and from school with him, and Meng Duo is very happy to see him.

That night, just after the Meng family had finished dinner and packed up, there was a cautious sound from the fat aunt next door, "Is Brother Meng at home?"

Ever since the two families had a bad fight because of the child, the fat aunt came over to throw a splash twice, and the two families didn't even speak a word.Meng Duo was surprised when she heard her movements, and hurried out to meet her.The fat aunt was smiling all over her face, carrying a pair of pigs into the water, and the fat boy stood beside her with his head drooping.

"His aunt, this pig that his father just killed is brought to you as soon as it is cleaned up. Don't dislike it."

"It's so embarrassing." As the saying goes, don't reach out to hit a smiling person, not to mention that he came with a gift, and he was older than Meng Duo.Meng Duo hurriedly let the two of them in, poured hot water, and grabbed a handful of chestnuts for the fat boy, "There is nothing good to chew at home, so go eat it, and go outside to play with Sanchun."

The fat boy shrank his hands and didn't move, he just scanned his mother with his eyes.When Meng Duo saw it, he put the chestnuts in his pocket.

Meng Da said from the side: "Sister-in-law, is there something to do tonight?" Fat Auntie's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she hesitated twice, her expression a little embarrassing.

Seeing this, Meng Duo said: "It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Our two families live next to each other. Although these years are a bit unpleasant, there is no conflict of interest. I know what you are thinking. How can children's affairs be serious? You don't have to remember In my heart, we will get along well in the future."

"It's rare that you adults don't care too much. I brought your nephew here to make an apology. Hurry up, how did I teach you at home!" He said and twisted the fat boy's arm.

The fat boy grinned in pain, and said aggrievedly: "It's all my fault..."

"This stinky brat, he usually talks a lot, but when he's serious, he becomes a gourd with a sawn mouth." After speaking, he smiled flatteringly at Meng Da.

"Your elder brother is going to suffer for his face. Ever since he came back from your house that day, he regretted it every time he mentioned it. He drank a few glasses of wine that day, and he went crazy regardless of the beginning and end. He woke up and slapped himself. My mouth, I will accompany you for him today. I am also an unreasonable fool, and I go crazy when my child is injured. Don’t pick my reason. When it comes to fat boys I don’t know how to be sensible, today’s Shang Fang Jie Wa Ming went up a tree to dig a bird, and yesterday he played truant from school, which gave me a solid beating.”

After finishing the call, he said to Sanchun, asking him to take care of the fat boy in the school and so on.Meng Duo was overwhelmed by what she said here and there, and Meng Da next to him frowned more and more as he listened.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Sanchun will not dare to bully the fat boy in the future, so you can send him to school with peace of mind." Meng Da said as he glanced at Sanchun with his eyes, only to see that Sanchun shrank his head in fright, and dodged his eyes in panic.

When the fat aunt got up and went back, Meng Da asked her to take the pig back into the water, but she refused.Meng Duo chased her to the door, hung the pig offal on the doorknob and ran back.

When she went home and entered the house, she saw Sanchun kneeling on the ground, Meng Da holding a fire stick in his hand, Siya and Wufu huddled on the kang in fear, and seeing her seemed to have a backbone.

"Second sister-in-law, elder brother said he wanted to kill third brother." Siya said hastily.

Wu Fu pulled Meng Duo's sleeve, hid behind her and said, "Duo Duo, I'm afraid!"

Meng Duo patted him comfortingly, went over and poured a cup of hot water for Meng Daduan, "I dare not stop my uncle if he wants to teach my uncle a lesson, but don't get too angry. Even the gentlemen in the yamen have to judge cases. Let the prisoner defend himself. Don't rush to shout and kill, at least listen to my uncle to explain the reason."

Meng Da took the rice bowl in her hand and placed it heavily on the kang table, the anger on his face did not decrease at all.

"What do you ask him to say about the obvious thing! He used the name of Mr. Lin to scare people in the school. When did our family have such a tricky, cunning, vain, narrow-minded and bullying thing? I will send him to the school. I want him to learn the way of a sage, but he never thought he would come back after learning these crooked ways. If I don't beat him today and teach him some lessons, I'm afraid the more he learns, the more he will harm others in the future! You all get out of the way, whoever stops him Let's fight together!"
