Dressed as a villain's mother

Chapter 57 Gossip
"You want to buy another piece of land?" Tang De looked at Jiang Yu in surprise. How much money did they make to buy another big piece of land to build a house?
Jiang Yu nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we still need to find someone. Can you pick a few hard-working ones? The wages are one hundred yuan a day, including one meal at noon."

Hearing this, Tang De frowned slightly, "Your salary is a bit high, and it's only a hundred yuan a day for a person to carry a sack, so fifty yuan a day is fine."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you work hard, you can build the house quickly and well. This money is nothing. But if you don't work hard, then don't blame me for not showing respect." Jiang Yu said the last sentence with a hint of threat mean.

"This..." Tang De hesitated for a while and said, "I'm afraid there are not many people in the village who are willing to help you work."

"Why?" Jiang Yu was a little puzzled, and Tang De also said that she paid a lot of money, so why didn't anyone come?

Tang De didn't know how to tell her, "You guys are probably afraid of sending Tang Tianbao into the army."

The corner of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched, "It seems that they also want to target our family? That's why they are afraid?"

Hearing this, Tang De sighed softly, "Why don't you go to the next village to see? I can only ask for you, but I don't think many people come."

"Well, it's troublesome. Excuse me, where can I buy bricks and wood?" No one in the village is willing to come to help, so people from other villages will always come here for the sake of money.

"Bricks can be bought at the brick kiln, and the nearest brick kiln is in Mucun. As for the wood, there are a lot of trees behind the mountain. When it's not a forbidden forest, you can cut down trees."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you."

After leaving the village chief's house, Jiang Yu couldn't figure it out, "Did we offend many people in the village?"

"There are a lot of unfamiliar people."

"Okay." Because I am not familiar with it, no one will help.Coupled with what happened before, no one dared to help.

When passing Dr. Liu's house, people were enjoying the shade under the big tree in front of the door. Seeing them coming over, they smiled and said, "Are you planning to build a house in the village?"

"Doctor Liu, how do you know?" Jiang Yu was surprised. She didn't tell Dr. Liu about this. She also said that she wanted to buy a house in the town.

"I guessed it, and it seems I guessed it right." Doctor Liu looked at them, "I also guessed that you would go to the brick kiln in Mu Village to order bricks, but there are not many people in the village who are willing to work for your family."

"It's amazing." Jiang Yu smiled and said, "How did you guess it?"

"Pinch your fingers and count." After seeing Jiang Yu's speechless appearance, Dr. Liu stopped being funny, and said, "Didn't you say that you are going to sell tofu recipes? It's almost time, you didn't go home yesterday , I guess I went to do this. Plus, I have heard a lot about you during this time, and I know what the village chief will tell you. Now, with money, I will definitely not live in the village chief’s old house again. Houses, either to buy or rebuild, I think it will be rebuilt, because there is still your land here."

After this analysis, Jiang Yu was convinced, "That's right."

Dr. Liu stroked his beard, smiling with chrysanthemum creases all over his face, his air was not good.

"By the way, you just said that you heard a lot about us, for example?" Jiang Yu suddenly became interested in these gossips. She really wanted to know what she looked like in the eyes of others, so she had fun listening to it.

"That's too much." There were so many news, Dr. Liu didn't know which one to talk about. "Let me tell you something interesting. They said that the reason you changed your temper was because you found that Yunze looked better, or because Yunze's bed skills have improved."

Jiang Yu: "...Are they poisonous?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Uh..." Jiang Yu thought for a while, "Let's understand."

Speaking of the specific meaning, Jiang Yu thought about it carefully, but she didn't know how to explain it.

Dr. Liu stroked his chin in thought for a while, then smiled and said, "It's a good idea, yes. Don't they look like they've been poisoned?"

Jiang Yu wanted to say that she didn't understand it that way, but then thought that a series of questions would arise after she finished speaking, so she could only smile and said nothing.

"Anyway, that's the way things are. There are many more bizarre things than this. I didn't remember them. I almost forgot. Let me tell you that it's best to buy bricks at the brick kiln next to the town. The one in Mucun...is not very good. .”

"Huh? Why?" Jiang Yu just asked reflexively. Seeing that Dr. Liu had a strange expression, he said, "It's okay if you don't say anything, I just asked casually."

Dr. Liu looked around, "Actually, there is nothing we can't say. Recently, people who built houses with bricks from the Mucun brick kiln all collapsed, but there were people on that brick kiln, and this matter was suppressed. This is not a rumor. I saw it with my own eyes and accidentally overheard their conversation."

"So scary?" Jiang Yu didn't doubt if this was fake news, because it was unnecessary.

"No, I used to help people see a doctor. Otherwise, I don't know. The water here is very deep. I'd rather spend more money than build a house that could collapse at any time. It's too dangerous."

Jiang Yu winked at him, "Have you told anyone about this?"

"Of course not." Dr. Liu looked at them, waving his cattail fan leisurely, "If you tell others, you need someone to believe you. They may think that I deliberately asked them to spend more money."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly, "That's true. If you want me to say, this is someone else who said it. If it is publicized and they find out here, it will be bad. Didn't you say there are people above them?"

Dr. Liu looked at her, "Am I stupid?"

"...not stupid."

"That's not the end."

Jiang Yu felt that he was overthinking. Dr. Liu didn't care about anything. In fact, he was very transparent and treated people well. More importantly, he knew what to say to whom.

After chatting for a few more words, the two went back.

After returning, Jiang Yu took Tang Yunze and hid in the room. She took out all the silver and some copper coins from the space.

"It's more than 700 taels in total. How many rooms and halls should we build?" Jiang Yu asked Tang Yunze while sitting cross-legged by the bed, looking at Yinzi.

After a while, Tang Yunze asked: "How much do you mean?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yu was confused.

"According to what you said, there must be a pond and an orchard. Probably a two-entry house is enough. If it is too big, there will be no way to buy things in the future." Tang Yunze knew that she didn't know much about some common sense, so he suggested this .

"Oh, then do as you said, build a house with two entrances."

Jiang Yu doesn't understand what is two entrances, two doors?It sounds small, but Tang Yunze said enough, she didn't get entangled anymore.

After the house was built, Jiang Yu knew that the so-called two entrances meant that there were two yards, and how many rooms were in one yard.It was quite a big house, at least in a village.
