Chapter 136 Moved
After Gong Qi stayed overnight at Mr. Tang Sanye's house, when he came to Qin Huiyin's side in the morning to drive the carriage, Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu sisters had just got up.
The goods he wanted were counted last night, and he also gave the money to Qin Huiyin. The two of them settled the payment and could drive the carriage back to the city today.
Qin Huiyin invited him to have breakfast before leaving, and said that she had made pork rib soup all night last night and would make pork rib ramen this morning.
Gong Qi, who was about to leave, tied the horse rope again and said with a smile, "We have a carriage ride for several hours, so we really should eat something full. So I will shamelessly stay."
Tang Luwu kept looking at Gong Qi with such intense passion that Gong Qi felt embarrassed. If she wasn't a young girl who hadn't grown up yet, there would have been some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Gong Qi wondered if he had scared the girl by eating three bowls of noodles in a row. He felt a little embarrassed and left ten coins as payment for the noodles before leaving.
Qin Huiyin stuffed the money back into his hand and stood at the gate, watching him drive the carriage away. She didn't return to the yard until the shadow of the carriage disappeared.
"Sister Luwu, what were you looking at Gong Qi for just now? Is there something wrong with him?" Qin Huiyin asked.
Tang Luwu said embarrassedly, "I was thinking that our ramen is so delicious, I wonder if he would like it and spend money to buy the ramen recipe."
Qin Huiyin laughed and joked, "My dear sister, you are such a money-grubber."
Not only did Gong Qi almost misunderstand what was going on, but she almost misunderstood it too. After all, she wasn't an ordinary twelve-year-old girl. She had the soul of a twenty-year-old in her body.
But, ultimately, her thinking was too narrow. Whenever she encountered something between a man and a woman, she would always speculate on the possibility of love. A true twelve-year-old girl's mind was completely free of all that clutter except her career.
Tang Luwu felt a little embarrassed.
"We have a little free time today. We'll move our things to the new place later, move all the bottles and jars over there, and tidy up over there. We'll continue making the sauce tomorrow."
I've been very tired recently, so today I just packed my things and tidied my room to slow down the pace.
She also wanted to see whether Xiang Chuntao and Wang Juying were growing mushrooms according to the method she said. If the method was wrong, she would give them some guidance.
Wang listened to the noises from next door, all alone in the yard, eating steamed bread. She suddenly felt bored, with no one to talk to. She decided to go to town to find her son tomorrow. If her daughter's job was really good and could earn her some money, she would ask her son to find her a job so she could earn some money.
Li Taohua has a good daughter who can make money with her. She also has a good son who can also make money with her son. She just can't believe it. Could it be that her son is not as good as her daughter?
I was busy all day and didn't move all my things to the new place until the afternoon.
The new residence is at the foot of the mountain. It is very spacious and has a large yard. It is said that its former owner became rich and moved away and never returned.
There was a dilapidated hut next door, which was so rickety that it seemed as if it could be blown away by a slight gust of wind.
In the morning, Li Taohua laughed at the house and said it should be demolished directly. In the afternoon, she saw Carpenter Zhang, Zhang Dazhui and his old wife moving into the thatched house.
"Carpenter Zhang, what are you doing..." Li Taohua looked at the family of three in surprise.
Carpenter Zhang was too proud to tell everyone about his family's troubles. Even if the whole village knew what had happened, he still didn't want to admit his incompetence.
Carpenter Zhang's wife, Zhou, forced a bitter smile and said, "We split up, and mother gave us this thatched cottage."
"Finally, we've split up. This is great!" Li Taohua said excitedly. "There's nothing wrong with a thatched cottage. We don't have to live under the same roof with them. You can have some peace and quiet."
Zhou sighed, "If it's just that the living conditions are shabby, then it's nothing. We've lost all the money we earned over the years, and the land we were supposed to have been given, and all we got is this thatched cottage."
Li Taohua frowned. "Sister-in-law, you're too easy to talk to. Brother Carpenter, if it's not easy for my sister-in-law to fight for me, why don't you, my son, fight for me? Everyone in the village has seen how much money you've made over the years, and you don't give me a penny, but only a thatched hut. That's too much."
"Mother..." Qin Huiyin pulled Li Taohua away and said to Zhou embarrassedly, "My mother is impatient, please don't mind, aunt. Mother, our house is not cleaned up yet!"
"Oh..." Li Taohua understood her daughter's concerns and followed her back.
Mrs. Zhou looked at Carpenter Zhang and said, "Listen to what Huiyin's mother said. It's not that I want to be picky, but we don't want anything. What will happen to our two sons? Don't forget, your two sons have been helping you since they were young. Later, when they became apprentices, they did more work than you. You want to be a filial son, so why do you let your two sons suffer? Your sons are grown up and will get married. Now you only give us this thatched hut and won't even let us take our carpentry tools. Even though your mother is doing this, she still asks us to give her 500 coins a month for her retirement. Is she trying to force us to death?"
"Mom, forget it." Carpenter Zhang came over carrying the wood.
"Son..." Zhou came over and helped Zhang Dazhu carry the wood. "We don't have any carpentry tools now, what are you doing cutting wood for?"
"We'll always have carpentry tools. Let's chop some wood and keep it ready." Zhang Dazhu said, "Mom, don't push my dad. It's already great that he's been able to secure a division of the family property for us and grandma."
"How are we going to live?" Zhou's eyes were red.
"Aunt, we just moved here today, and you just moved here too. Since we are so destined to meet, come to our house for dinner tonight!" Qin Huiyin came out and invited with a smile.
"This..." Zhou was embarrassed. "This is so bad."
"Brother Dazhu made me a really nice bathtub last time, and I haven't thanked him yet! Besides, we'll be neighbors until the new house is built. When it's finished, there will be a lot of tables, chairs, and cabinets to build, and Uncle Zhang and Brother Dazhu will have to trouble them."
Hope rekindled in Zhou's eyes.
His husband and son all have skills. As long as they still have these skills, and someone asks them to make something, they will never starve to death.
"Auntie, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. We don't even have the tools for carpentry."
"Didn't Big Zhu tell you? Second Zhu brought back his wages." Qin Huiyin said, "If it's not enough, I can lend it to you. You can pay it back when you make money."
Zhou looked at Zhang Dazhu: "Really?"
Zhang Dazhu nodded: "Yes. Although it's not much, it's enough to solve our current difficulties."
