Chapter 921: 921 Feeling unbalanced inside

Li Rong’er overheard the conversation and immediately said, “Why not also call your second brother? He’s young and strong and can build walls quickly. How about that?”

“Second brother’s injury…”

“It’s nothing serious now, he’s already picking up sticky soil to build the stove.”

“Second brother needs to build his own kitchen and stove too…” Xiao Yuchuan hesitated, “Wouldn’t it delay second brother’s work?”

“What does that matter?” she said, “We’ll just start the stove fire in Fourth Brother’s kitchen first.”

“All right,” he said, “as long as second brother agrees.”

Li Rong’er said shrewdly, “Let’s get one thing straight, you have to pay the wages accordingly, and include meals.”

“Fine, I’ll only cover the meals for second brother, you get nothing.”

“So stingy…” Li Rong’er pursed her lips but did not say anything else.

At that moment, the workers who delivered the clay bricks had unloaded them into the corner of the yard that Xiao Yuchuan assigned: a pile in the front yard and a pile in the backyard.

Xiao Yuchuan had already paid the deposit previously, and now paid the balance according to the agreed price, so the workers took their flatbed carts and left.

Li Rong’er kept looking outside the door, “By rights, Brother Xiao should’ve carried back a load of sticky soil in half an hour. He said the place to pick up the soil wasn’t far, so why has he been gone for over half a day and still not returned? Chuan, maybe, you should go look for him?”

“Why don’t you go yourself?” he asked.

“I’m not familiar with the roads in this village. I’m afraid I won’t find my way back if I leave the house…” she said.

“That’s true,” he too was worried about second brother, “I’ll have Fuquan come over to start the work tomorrow and also look for second brother.”

Just about to leave, Xiao Yishan came back carrying a load of sticky soil.

Li Rong’er hurried forward to greet him, “Brother Xiao, where did you go? Why did it take you so long to return?”

“It’s nothing,” Xiao Yishan had no intention of explaining further, “I didn’t feel very well, so I took a longer ‘rest’ on the mountain.”

Su Qingyue watched Xiao Yishan’s slightly unsteady steps, his base not stable, when before he had carried a load of soil quite steadily, clearly, he had over-indulged himself.

Without a doubt, second brother had spent much of the day outside ‘sleeping’ with a woman.

However, since it was none of her business, she did not speak up.

She couldn’t help but feel that second brother seemed to get hooked by women quite easily. There were going to be more than just one or two second sisters-in-law in the future.

“Then, Brother Xiao, take good care of your health,” Li Rong’er said with full concern on her face.

Xiao Yishan poured the sticky soil into the corner of the yard in front of the room he had been allotted.

Xiao Yuchuan went out to call Zhou Fuquan.

Li Rong’er then mentioned the matter of him helping Chuan with the work.

He agreed with a cold face.

Thinking of how third brother was able to build a new kitchen, bathroom, and thatched house so easily, and even afford to use clay bricks.

He could only use sticky soil and would have to use wooden boards to frame and mix mud and rocks to build the stove. The kitchen and thatched house would probably just be a shed for now, and as for the bathroom, he was not planning to build one, just bathe in the room and carry the water out, which was quite convenient.

He had no money now, and had to build in the way of someone with no money.

Thinking that Chuan only had the advantage thanks to Su Qingyue’s money, otherwise, he would be just like himself.

With that thought, he felt somewhat uncomfortable about the more than a thousand taels of silver in Su Qingyue’s hands, such a huge sum belonging to third brother personally.

“Don’t agree to work for me without asking me first,” Xiao Yishan said to Li Rong’er with a stern face.

Her small face turned pale, “Our house is in need of money, that’s why I…”

“I can earn money by hunting!” Xiao Yishan’s face stiffened. Yue’er went with third brother, who suddenly had so much money, and yet he had to work under him, earning a mere tens of cents a day. It was far from balancing out.
