She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 111 Ouch

Gu Qingqing and Niu Lan were looking up and down at Dahua's clothes at this time. Niu Lan told Gu Qingqing that if Dahua grew taller in the future, the clothes could be let out more from that side.

"The one with the large flower pattern is only a little bigger as you requested. At most, she can wear it for another year next year. The one with the double flower pattern is much bigger. She can wear it for two more years."

"Aunt Niu is thoughtful."

After watching Dahua, Gu Qingqing waved to Erhua, "Come, let me see."

Finally, when she saw that the clothes fit her, she couldn't stop smiling and praised Niu Lan, "Aunt, the clothes fit her very well, that's all. The rest is up to you and me to do."

Seeing that her employer liked the clothes she made, Niu Lan was also happy. "Okay, if you like the style, then I have a plan. I'll go back first. If you need any changes in the future, just bring them to me and I'll make them for free."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. Take your time."

After everyone left, Gu Qingqing found Dahua and told her that Shen Chenan wanted to eat the wild vegetables from their mountain.

"Dahua, take Erhua with you and don't go too far. Just look for him on the mountain. If you can still find him, that's great. But if you can't, that's okay too."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Dahua responded quickly.

Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang also wanted to follow, but were stopped by Gu Qingqing. In their hearts, they burned three incense sticks for Dahei while saying, "You can't go. Dahei wants to play with you."

Dahei: ...

Not long after, Wu Shanbian came in with his arms behind his back. Gu Qingqing hurriedly poured a cup of tea and at the same time refilled Niu Zhanghe's with some hot water.

Wen Wuyan also stood up to greet him, "Originally I should have gone to Uncle Wu's house, but now I have to trouble Uncle Wu to make the trip."

Wu Shan waved at him to indicate that everything was fine.

After he sat down and looked at the scroll on the table, he asked excitedly, "I heard that you were going to build a house before, and I thought you were going to build three adobe houses first. The day before yesterday, I also heard from Lao Niu that you were going to build a blue brick house, and the blue bricks were already ordered. I thought you were going to use something similar in the village, but now I see that your house is not small."

Wu Shan finished speaking, his eyes still fixed on the scroll, "Exquisite, simple and generous, beautiful, and majestic."

Wen Wuyan smiled after hearing this and said, "Uncle Wu, Qingqing and I have discussed this. This time we have the money by chance, so we want to build a house almost all at once. This way, when there are new people in the family in the future, there will be a house to live in."

Wu Shan subconsciously glanced around the yard. His three children were all daughters, and he didn't even know where his son was. How could he add a new member?

I can think about it, but I really can't say it out loud.

However, he still supports the villagers' desire to build big houses.

"That's great. Three generations can live in one house, as long as it doesn't violate the court etiquette. Also, do you plan to build it like the one above?" Wu Shan asked after looking at the blueprint carefully.

Then Wen Wuyan told him roughly about their plan. Finally, according to Niu Zhanghe and Wu Shan's estimation, they had previously planned to build a regular courtyard like the one in the village, and bought too many blue bricks. Now they want to build a third courtyard, and after calculation, they are at least half short of bricks.

"Since it's a blue brick house, there's no need to use straw. You looked at the bricks last time, have you decided on the tiles? As for the loess, go and dig it over there in the loess pit. It's free, but it takes some effort. By the way, what are your plans for the beams and rafters? Are you going to buy ready-made ones? Or are you going to arrange for people to go up the mountain and cut them?" Wu Shan asked.

"Uncle Wu, we haven't announced our plan to build a blue brick house in the village yet. Firstly, the bricks haven't arrived yet, and secondly, we want to hear your opinions before we start. In addition, as for the beams, we want to go to the mountain to cut suitable ones, and then ask the villagers if they want to do it. It would be the best if someone wants to do it. If no one wants to cut it, we will buy it." Wen Wuyan said modestly, and finally acted like he was going to bother someone, "I just want to ask Uncle Wu to help us arrange servants. Of course, we won't let the villagers suffer a loss in terms of price."

Wu Shan understood what Wen Wuyan meant. This was also an opportunity for him to make money for the villagers in disguise.

Letting him organize the people is also a good thing for him.

He took a sip of tea cheerfully and said with a smile, "What objection can we have about this? You decide when to start, and I'll arrange for the people to come for you. Just tell the villagers how much money you plan to pay, I won't interfere. You can rest assured that I'm here, and I'll make sure no one cheats or does anything dishonest."

Seeing that they were talking seriously, Gu Qingqing thought that they would reach an agreement quickly, but they didn't expect that they kept talking until dark.

Fortunately, she had nothing to do later, so she rubbed the pig intestines bought today with wood ash.

Luo Meihua came to find the child halfway through, and seeing Gu Qingqing busy, she wanted to help, but was rejected by Gu Qingqing, "You make your shoes, I can do this by myself."

"No wonder there was no fishy smell at all when we ate the offal that Brother Wuyan sent us last time. It turns out this is how my sister-in-law removes the smell." Luo Meihua sat on a small stool, sewing shoe soles while chatting with Gu Qingqing.

"In the future, if you want to cook offal at home, try this method." Gu Qingqing said and explained it to her in detail.

......

After the people left, Wen Wuyan came over and said to her, "I have agreed with them that Uncle Wu will go and help us choose a date, then we can start the construction and then lay the foundation. Tomorrow we will get the detailed drawings back and discuss with them how to build it. Uncle Zhang He and I will go to order the tiles in two days. In addition, Yuzhu should be back soon, so let's wait and see what Old Yang has to say."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. As for the silver, you don't have to worry about it. There are still one hundred taels in the land. In addition to the thirty-five taels I gave you last time, I have saved more than one tael in the past few days. We have clothes and quilts, and there will be no major expenses except for food. I have also thought about it. Pig intestines seem to be very popular, so I will make some every day and go to the town to buy them. In this way, we can earn more than three hundred wen every day, and about ten taels a month, which can offset a large part of the expenses." Gu Qingqing said confidently.

Then she added, "Since someone is coming to my house, I need them to help me dig a big hole in the mountain when they have time."

Gu Qingqing raised her hand and pointed towards the mountain fields as she spoke, then pointed in the other direction.

"Help me dig two holes in that direction, too."

Wen Wuyan's eyes followed her fingers as they turned, but his eyes were filled with confusion, "Why dig a hole?"

"The pits dug in the mountain fields are for making manure. Didn't you say last time that we should plant some winter wheat? We should be able to use it before winter. It just so happens that our family produces some oily wood ash every day, which is most suitable for making manure. It may increase grain production. I want to give it a try."

"As for digging the pit over there to ferment bamboo, the reason I kept doing it is because I was short of people to dig the pit and build the stove."

When Gu Qingqing said this, she suddenly cried out, threw the pig intestines she was washing into the basin, and ran towards the kitchen.
