Chapter 629 Buying Land and Hiring a Bricklayer
Gu Yunxi acted quickly. After Boss Gu divided up the family business, she immediately went to find a matchmaker to introduce a wife to Boss Gu.
In addition, she went directly to the village chief of Dongpo Village and bought a small piece of land from him.
"Uncle village chief, I plan to build a few houses for my father. Can you help me find five or six bricklayers and laborers in the village?" Gu Yunxi asked politely.
When the village chief heard that she wanted to buy land, he immediately thought that Gu Yunxi was going to buy it for her father!
When people build a house, they usually ask their brothers or people in the clan who have a good relationship with them for help. They don’t hire workers and just provide three meals a day.
Therefore, the village chief did not collect too much money. Instead, he sold a large piece of vacant residential land in the village to Gu Yunxi at the lowest price.
Gu Yunxi thanked him with a smile, thinking that Boss Gu didn't have a good relationship with the villagers in the village. If he asked someone to build a house, probably no one would be willing, right?
Besides, even if someone was willing, Gu Yunxi didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
Instead of owing favors to others, it is better to just spend money and hire someone to build a house.
"Uncle Village Chief, laborers are paid thirty coins a day, and bricklayers are paid sixty coins a day. Please ask if anyone is willing to come. If they are willing, they will be provided with three meals a day."
The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew that Gu Yunxi was rich now and didn't need this little money, but Gu Yunxi was generous to the villagers, which made the village chief very happy!
The village chief nodded immediately and said, "Yunxi, the wages you offer are higher than those of others in the village. I will go and ask around. I'm sure many people will be willing to come!"
It is the slack season during farming, and the laborers in the village have nothing to do. If they could get this job from Gu Yunxi, they would be very grateful to him, the village chief.
After the village chief finished speaking, he immediately walked towards the village...as if he was afraid that if he went too late, Yun Xi would regret it.
Gu Yunxi smiled and went back to the old Gu family to wait for news.
Within an incense stick of time, the village chief arrived with four bricklayers.
Two of them were from Dongpo Village, and the other two were from nearby villages.
Seeing Gu Yunxi and Gu Lao Da, the village chief hurriedly introduced them: "Lao Da, Yunxi, these two are the old bricklayers in our village, and the other two are from the neighboring village."
"The four of them are all experienced workers who have been bricklayers for half their lives. I didn't even ask you what kind of house you wanted to build, so I just brought them all here."
Just now, when the village chief heard that Gu Yunxi was going to build a house and offered such a high salary, he was so excited that he didn't even think of asking so many questions.
It was not until he went to invite a bricklayer and the bricklayer asked Gu Yunxi what kind of house he wanted to build that the village chief reacted.
Gu Yunxi smiled and was about to speak when he heard Boss Gu say in surprise: "No, Yunxi, I didn't say I wanted to build a house!"
"I, there is a room here for me to live in, and I don't have any money..."
Boss Gu originally thought that Gu Yunxi was joking with him. He was alone and why did he need to live in a separate house?
But now, he watched the village chief and two bricklayers from the village coming, and he was sure in his heart that Gu Yunxi was serious!
Gu Yunxi interrupted him directly and said, "Dad, since you and grandpa and grandma have separated, you'd better move out and live alone."
"Besides, I've asked someone to find a partner for you. If you find one, you can live with him/her. Do you want to continue living with your grandparents? And continue to make the same mistakes?"
When Boss Gu heard this, his face changed. He knew what Gu Yunxi meant.
His two wives, Yunxi's mother and Fang, lived with Old Lady Gu. They all had conflicts and were both severely beaten and scolded by Old Lady Gu.
If the companion Yun Xi finds for him comes in the future and lives in the old Gu family, then it is really possible that the same thing as before will happen again.
After all, he knew his mother, Old Lady Gu's temper best.
He had also experienced being unreasonable, bullying his daughter-in-law, and being extremely partial to his second brother!
"But, Yunxi, Dad doesn't have any money. We need to build a house, and I haven't even started digging the adobe bricks yet." Boss Gu said hesitantly.
Even if he wanted to build two thatched houses, he would need adobe bricks and dry thatch, but he didn't have any of these things.
It would take a lot of time to prepare, but he was obviously unable to work in his current physical condition.
Therefore, Boss Gu frowned and felt even more frustrated. He felt that he was really a useless person who could not do anything and even implicated his daughter.
Gu Yunxi didn't want to care about so many things. She just wanted to help Boss Gu solve the current problems as soon as possible. Only when she and Yunle returned to the capital could they live a peaceful life in the capital.
Otherwise, if something happened to Boss Gu again, they, as Boss Gu's daughters, would have no choice but to come back out of filial piety.
"Dad, you don't need to worry about these things. I'll have someone build you a few blue brick and tile houses. As for the money, I can give it to you, but I have a request. Since we have separated, you don't need to care about grandpa and grandma anymore."
"During festivals, according to what is written in the family division document, giving them one or two taels of silver a year is already very good!"
Boss Gu hurriedly shook his head: "No. No, Yunxi, you must believe in Dad. Dad is not the same as before."
"But building a brick and tile house would require a lot of money, right? Yunxi, Dad doesn't have any big ambitions, so why not just build two thatched houses?"
Boss Gu asked weakly, which made the village chief standing beside him feel envious and angry. He hurriedly said, "Hey, Boss, what are you talking about?"
"Yun Xi is willing to build you a house made of blue bricks and tiles. That is to show filial piety to you as a father. Yun Xi also hopes that you will live a good life in the future. You should not waste Yun Xi's filial piety."
"Gu Sanniu, Gu Liushun, you two also built houses for the landlords in this town before. You also built houses with blue bricks and tiles. You should know how to build them, right?" the village chief asked the two bricklayers in the village.
The two bricklayers, both of whom were members of the Gu clan, nodded hastily when they heard the village chief's question: "Yes, yes, village chief, we have been bricklayers for decades, so we can naturally build blue brick houses!"
The village chief nodded slowly, and then asked the two bricklayers from the neighboring village: "What about you two?"
The other two bricklayers also smiled and nodded: "Village Chief Gu, we can do it too, but it takes a lot of time to build a blue brick house, and the wages..."
As soon as Gu Yunxi heard it, she knew that they were afraid that building the house would take too long and she would not be willing to pay so much wages.
So, Gu Yunxi smiled and promised: "Don't worry, you guys, I don't ask you to build the house quickly, but as long as it is built firmly, the wages will be the same as what the village chief said before, 60 cents a day, and you won't get less."
"Come and help me build a house. The wages will be settled every seven days, and three meals a day will be provided."
When the four bricklayers heard this, they were all excited and couldn't wait to start working.
