Joe's Farming

When Wen Ge'er and Wang Jie had saved more than one hundred taels of silver, they finally decided to build a new house.

Aunt Shi didn't say anything, but Wen Ge'er could feel that the whole family was not very happy.

Wang's father looked a little sad: "It's not like we have no room at home, and our family hasn't split up. What's the matter with you moving out?"

Wang Qiang also said: "Do you feel uncomfortable living with so many people at home?"

The direction of this statement is very clear, the only new person living in this house is Wen Ge'er.

But Brother Wen is no longer the brother who dared not say anything last year.

He admitted generously: "Don't think too much, big brother. I just happened to save some money with Wang Jie and wanted to live in a bigger house. Also, my parents have always lived in a thatched house, so I wanted to bring them over to live with us so that they can take care of our children in the future."

Wang Jie: "Our Wang Ying will be getting married soon. It's ok that we only have Little Shitou at home now, but there will definitely be more and more people in the future. It's better to move out earlier, right, mother?"

Aunt Shi didn't say anything. Wen Ge'er wanted to use the money he earned to help his parents, so she had nothing to say.

She was just a little unhappy when she thought that Wen Ge'er didn't even want her to take care of the child. She always thought she got along well with Wen Ge'er, but what Wen Ge'er said next dispelled her doubts.

"Mom, I don't want you to be too tired. There will be more children in the family by then. My sister-in-law is working in town now. My eldest brother and younger brother are making tofu every day. Everyone is busy. I can't let you take care of the whole family." Wen Ge'er explained.

Li Qiuju was eager for Wen Ge'er to move out, so she advised, "Mom, Wen Ge'er is right. Our tofu shop is so busy that we have to hire people. You don't have so much time to take care of the children. Let Wen Ge'er and his family move out."

Wang Qiang glared at his wife and said with some resentment: "It's all because you don't want to come back to help, otherwise there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Li Qiuju immediately got angry and retorted: "I earn at least 15 cents a month now. If you pay me that much, I will come back immediately without saying a word."

Wang Qiang: "Money, money, money. Money is all you care about. You didn't even care about Little Stone when you came back. Do you still care about this family?"

Wang Qiang had asked Li Qiuju to come back to help before, but was rejected by Li Qiuju. He had been feeling uncomfortable about it and now he let it all out.

Li Qiuju stood up and yelled, "Why didn't I care about Xiao Shitou? Are you the one who washes his face and feet every day? Are you the one who coaxes the child to sleep every day? What gives you the right to say that to me?"

When little Shitou saw his parents quarreling and heard his own name, he thought he was the one who caused the quarrel, so he immediately burst into tears and cried, "Shitou was wrong, Daddy and Mommy, please don't quarrel. Wuu ...

Aunt Shi held the child in her arms and shouted, "That's enough! Are there any parents like you who quarrel in front of their children? Wang Qiang, apologize to Qiu Ju!"

Li Qiuju sat down feeling aggrieved, she held her child in her arms and kept comforting him. She thought about how she worked so hard to earn money just to give her child a better life, but was blamed by her husband, and she began to cry out of grievance.

For the first time, Wang Qiang disobeyed his mother's order and walked out of the door with his neck stiffened.

Brother Wen didn't expect things to turn out like this, and looked at Wang Jie somewhat at a loss.

Wang Jie patted his hand gently to indicate that it had nothing to do with him.

Wang Ying is the youngest and usually never voices his opinions at home. He just does whatever he is told to do. He thinks it is good for his second brother and Wen Ge'er to move out so that the house will be more spacious.

But now he dared not say anything.

Aunt Shi glanced at Li Qiuju and said in a gentle voice, "Wang Qiang is just stupid, don't bother with him. How can a mother not consider her own children? I will scold him for you later. Although you can earn more in town, it is also very hard to go out early and come back late every day, and you still have to take care of the children when you come back. Qiuju, don't take it too seriously."

Li Qiuju nodded while sobbing.

Aunt Shi looked at Wen Ge'er and Wang Jie again.

They both sat up straight immediately.

"Wen'er, mother knows you are capable. Now that you two have the conditions to build a new house, let's build it. We can't let you live with us forever just because people will gossip about you. It just so happens that your father and I want to find a marriage for Wang Ying recently, so we don't have to build a house now. But I have one condition, don't build it too far away."

Wang Jie immediately said, "Not far, not far. It's right next to our land. Wen wants to be closer to you and Qiao."

"Well, I have no objection. It's just that I'm very busy making tofu at home right now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you build the house."

When Qiao Yu's family was building the house, Aunt Shi's family contributed manpower and labor, but now the snack bar and the villa's tofu all rely on their family for supply, so the family is very busy every day.

Wen Ge'er said hurriedly: "We can save a lot of money, but we still need Dad to help us find some workers."

Wang's father sighed and said, "I helped others build so many houses, but I don't have time to help my own son."

Wen Geer smiled and said, "It means that our business is doing well now. Dad, you don't have time to do anything else. Wang Jie and I thought that although we have moved out, we will still come here to eat sooner or later, and we will still give the money from the public treasury as usual. Mom, is that okay?"

Aunt Shi finally laughed: "Okay, why not? Just don't stop coming over after you move out."

Wang Jie: "No, I'll feel bad if I don't drink a bowl of soy milk in the morning."

Wen Ge'er also nodded: "Yes, and we have to come here every morning to bring soy milk to the store."

Finally, it was decided that Wen Ge'er and Wang Jie would build a new house.

The rainy season had just passed, so Wang Jie asked Qiao Yu for leave and supervised the entire process. Wen Ge'er was the store manager and the store could not do without him.

Half a month passed like this, and the house was one-third built. When Wen Ge'er came to give the account, he was hesitant to say something to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu asked him what was wrong.

"Brother Qiao, did you and Brother Gu have any quarrels when you were building the house?" Brother Wen asked.

When Qiao Yu heard this, he thought it was rare that Wen Ge'er actually asked him about his relationship issues. Since he got married, Wen Ge'er almost never asked him about his relationship issues.

"No, what's wrong?"

Brother Wen sighed and sat across from Qiao Yu: "I've always given the house-building task to Wang Jie. But when I went to see it today, it was completely different from what I expected. The door is only this wide."

Wen Geer gestured with his hands and said depressedly, "I like a bright main room, and he made me an ordinary door. I told him about it, and he said it would be warm in winter. But we also have a kang, so how can it be cold in winter like you guys?"

"And the kitchen is too small. He said we have a small family, unlike yours. But we can obviously build a bigger one, so why not? I don't want to argue with him. But the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I finally have a house of my own, and I feel unhappy when I think about not liking it."

Wen Ge'er said dejectedly, "I know he can live like that, but I'm afraid I'll be unhappy when I see it every day. Am I being too fussy?"
