Surprise! The little koi from the farm, her husband who died long ago is alive!
Chapter 41 Rejected? It’s OK, I have money
Jiang Shuyue returned home in a horse-drawn carriage, and then took down bags of things. The old couple said that they didn't need to spend money to buy things for them, as they didn't need anything, but they were still very happy when they got the things.
But to outsiders, it's not the same thing.
How could Jiang Shuyue, a woman, earn so much money?
They are both women, so why can Jiang Shuyue make money while they can’t?
Jiang Shuyue was not very noticeable among the girls in the village before, like a bean sprout. What unconventional path did she take?
Of course, they didn't dare say these words to Jiang Shuyue. If they did, Jiang Shuyue would definitely find a way to make them shut up.
"This kid bought things for me and your father again. This...this is too much. We can't even eat these during the New Year."
Old Mrs. Xiao looked at the preserved fruits, snacks and fruits and didn't know what to say.
"Yes, Shu Yue, it's a good thing that you can make money, but you have to save it. It will be of many use in the future."
This may sound a bit disappointing, but Jiang Shuyue is not annoyed. Only those who truly care about you will consider your future. Otherwise, why would they care so much?
"Dad, Mom, I know. I have a plan for what will happen in the future. Do you understand the matter of the blue bricks?"
Old Man Xiao looked at his wife, and the old couple exchanged glances. In the end, it was him who decided to speak, "Shu Yue, don't you want to think about it anymore?"
Jiang Shuyue shook her head, "Don't think about it. I've got the money. It's not much, five taels of silver. I don't know if it's enough. If it's not enough, I'll think of another way."
"Where does so much money come from?" Old Mrs. Xiao's voice was split.
"Mom, isn't it a coincidence that someone liked my wooden plaque and sold it for a good price."
Jiang Shuyue didn't dare to say that he sold it for 100 taels, fearing to scare them. "I still have some of the five taels here, and I can buy a shop with the rest, so I don't have to work outside in the wind and sun anymore."
"Oh my God." Old Madam Xiao said excitedly, "My little girl is so lucky. What do these rich people think? Can a piece of wood be sold for so much money?"
Old man Xiao doesn’t understand whether rich people’s money all comes from the wind.
It wasn't that big of a wind, but Jiang Shuyue knew that it was really easy to make money from money.
"Then you should slowly build the house and open a shop, which is a serious matter." said old man Xiao.
Jiang Shuyue was actually quite touched that the two old men gave up their enjoyment to support his career. "Dad, we need to build a house and buy a shop. You should each take care of your own business. I won't be involved in the house-building business."
Jiang Shuyue didn't want it to rain outside and inside the house every time, as it would make her feel bad because of the dampness.
Old man Xiao got down from the ground after saying this.
"Where are you going? You haven't had your meal yet?" Old Mrs. Xiao said dissatisfiedly.
"What are you doing? I'm going to measure the dimensions and calculate how many bricks are needed. Don't delay the child's business."
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she burst out laughing and said, "Then go find two more people. Building a house is not something that our family can do alone."
"Oh, right, Dad, many families are busy with farming and are about to start weeding. We won't let people help us for free, we have to pay them."
Old man Xiao was wondering what to do with the money, but it would take him a long time to build five large houses by himself.
"Mom, let me help you light the fire."
"Take a rest now. Your father and I are here. You don't have to worry about things at home." Old Mrs. Xiao wanted to worship Jiang Shuyue.
She knew about the gossip outside, and some people told her about it, but she just thought those people were jealous and talking nonsense, and didn't really take it to heart.
Of course, she cursed someone last time, and next time someone said it again, she would beat them with a big stick.
Building a new house is a big deal not only in Qinghe Village, but in any village.
Old man Xiao went door to door, and everyone was surprised to hear that they were building a new house. But as Jiang Shuyue said, each family has its own things to do. After visiting seven families, only two agreed to send people.
It would take three people several days just to tear down the old house, and it would take even longer to rebuild it.
When he returned home, Old Man Xiao felt a little embarrassed, as he always felt that he had not completed the task assigned by his daughter-in-law.
Jiang Shuyue saw it at a glance, "Dad, if the blue bricks haven't been calculated, I'll go to the town tomorrow, maybe the brick seller will know."
"No, I found out that fifteen thousand is enough, but..."
"Not enough people?"
"Well, they are all busy, so it's hard to find."
Jiang Shuyue took a deep breath and said, "I won't do it even if you pay me. This is not right, Dad, you..."
She glanced at Old Man Xiao's expression and guessed, "It's okay, I'll go find him after dinner."
"Shu Yue, I just wanted to spend less, I didn't mean anything else, don't be angry!"
Jiang Shuyue smiled, "Dad, what are you talking about? You saved me money, but I'm still angry. Am I not ungrateful? But this is the situation right now. When Xiao Lin was here, he could still go to other families to help out. Now that he's gone, he can't help others, and he can't repay the favor. You should just pay the money. You know, sometimes it's harder to repay a favor."
Jiang Shuyue had experienced this before, but it was a little difficult to understand for the old couple who had rarely left the village.
But Old Man Xiao did hit a wall.
After dinner, Jiang Shuyue visited several companies and discussed the issue of wages, and they all agreed.
Even Zhu Mantun, who had just refused to learn some bricklaying skills, agreed.
"Oh, just now... just now I was busy, didn't I want to postpone it? I haven't even waited to say it! You came, tell me what's going on, it's like you want your salary, otherwise I don't want the salary."
The wife of the Zhu family glared at her husband. What was she doing? She was just pretending to be poor!
"That's impossible. I wanted it anyway. My father probably didn't make it clear. Isn't it natural to get paid for work? If Brother Zhu goes out, he will definitely earn more than this. You've helped me a lot by coming here."
Zhu Mantun was elated after hearing this, "Shuyue, I didn't know you were so eloquent before."
"What can I say? These are all my true feelings. I still have to go to someone else's house. Brother Zhu, I'll leave it to you."
"Oh, okay, don't worry, I promise to cover it well for you."
As soon as Jiang Shuyue left, Zhu's wife punched the man on the back, "What are you looking at? They've disappeared. Hiss... Did the Xiao family pick up some gold ingots? How come they have so much money? They're building a house. What did you say? It's all made of blue bricks?"
Zhu Mantun was also puzzled, but full of envy, "I will be content in my life if I can live in a blue brick house."
The woman rolled her eyes. She wanted to live there too.
It is much easier to get things done by paying money. Jiang Shuyue quickly found eight people. Jiang Shuyue also talked to the two who had promised old man Xiao before about paying them.
The next day, almost everyone in Qinghe Village knew that the Xiao family was going to build a new house, and the Jiang family naturally heard about it as well.
It’s a good thing that the Xiao family is building a house, but everyone knows that Jiang Shuyue and the Jiang family are having an unhappy time, and everyone is waiting to see the Jiang family make a fool of themselves!
