Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm-Chapter 89 - House Building is Confirmed

89 House Building is Confirmed

“Then, Uncle Jiang, do you know anyone who makes bricks?” Lin Xiaoyue quickly asked.

“Yes. I’ll introduce you to them, and if you buy more, the price will be a little lower.” Jiang Dahe said. “However, bricks are expensive. Even if there’s a discount, it’s still expensive. In addition, you’d better get an ox-cart to transport the bricks back. This way, it will be cheaper for you.”

“How many ox-carts do I need? Do you know of any that can transport materials?” Lin Xiaoyue asked again.

“It depends on the progress of the building. At least two ox-carts to transport the materials six times a day. It’s better to start the transportation earlier. If you can’t find anyone, I can introduce someone to you,” Jiang Dahe said.

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

“Deal! When can you start? How long will it take to complete it?”

“We’ll finish up the house in Shangyang Village in two days. If you’re okay with that, we’ll come after that.”

Jiang Dahe thought for a while and said, “I can start in 5 days. It’s just that the schedule is a bit tight.”

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

“Then 5 days it is. The earlier we start, the earlier we can move into a new house.”

Jiang Dahe nodded with a smile.

“In terms of manpower, other than my men, I’ll have to hire some people to do odd jobs. It’s best to ask people from your village.”

“No problem. I’ll go to the village chief and ask him for help.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Jiang Dahe pinched his chin again.

“If we have enough manpower, we should be able to finish it in 20 days.” He said.

His men were quick at work. As long as the materials were transported on time, it was not a big problem to finish the work in 20 days.

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

She immediately communicated with Jiang Dahe about more details.

Then, she brought Li Xiao and Jiang Dahe to where the new house would be built.

Jiang Dahe had seen it before and had a basic understanding.

Then, he returned to the house with Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.

After discussing the specific details, both parties signed the contract.

Then, Jiang Dahe left after telling Lin Xiaoyue what were the next steps.

After leaving the Liu family, Jiang Dahe didn’t return to Huangshan Village immediately. Instead, he went to Carpenter Sun’s house.

When Mrs. Sun learned that the Liu family was going to build a large brick house with more than a dozen rooms, she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

“My goodness, the Liu family just separated from the Lin family. Where did they get their money from? Could it be…”

“What? Didn’t you hear Dahe say that the Liu family had to spend more than 240 taels of silver to build this house? If her late father was earning so much, would he have to go to town to build houses for others?”

Mrs. Sun paused.

“But where did the Liu family get so much money? Yesterday, when they came to buy the tables and chairs, you only charged them 120 taels!” Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun was a little upset 𝒇re𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵeƖ c𝗼𝑚

“Weren’t you the one who told me to charge less?” Carpenter Sun said to his wife in annoyance.

“Besides, last night, Xiaoyue sent a pheasant over. The restaurants in town charge more than 10 taels per catty, and that pheasant was worth 50 to 60 taels! Are you so jealous that you don’t want to see others doing well?”

Mrs. Sun retreated in shame.
