Chapter 172: Envious
He asked tentatively, "Aren't you sad? Don't you fight for your mother's family?"
"You also know that the business in town is good. If your family can live a much better life after learning it, won't you feel bad?"
Xu: “…”
She rolled her eyes first, then said silently, "Mom, I'm telling you the truth. After we made some money, we also wanted to send our younger brother to school."
"If he has the potential to pass the exam and become a scholar, then the master will be able to help the family. If he has no potential, then it is not my daughter-in-law's fault if I fail. I wanted to discuss this with you a long time ago."
Hearing what she said, Mrs. He looked a little suspicious and said, "Why do I feel that you are not negotiating? Try what you have wanted for a long time."
She felt that after the old man started doing business in the town, his personality changed a lot and he was neat and efficient most of the time.
Sometimes she still showed some feminine shyness, and she was very satisfied with this.
Smiling, she said, "Just make up your mind. You two can discuss family matters. There's no need to tell mom about everything."
Xu picked up a few buns and ran out, laughing, "My daughter-in-law and the head of the household have gone to town, don't worry about me."
Seeing how close they were, Nanny Fang couldn't help but envy them. She smiled and said, "Mrs. He is so lucky. I've never seen a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along so well. They're like real mother and daughter."
The nice words were thrown at Mrs. He's head as if they were free of charge, making her dizzy.
After breakfast was ready, the two looked outside the yard and were surprised that the man had not returned yet, so they untied the aprons around their waists and wanted to go look for him.
Mrs. He grumbled quietly, "What a fool this old man is. He can go hungry, but how can Brother Xia and the children go hungry too?"
After she walked out of the door and about ten meters away, she was shocked to see that most of the villagers were standing. She thought something big had happened and hurried over.
When the villagers saw her face full of envy, they thought the He family was so lucky to have gained a wealthy relative without any effort.
"Oh~~~Mrs. He, you are finally here. You may not know that the master of the Xia family wants to buy land to build a farm. Zheng Lizheng and Mr. He are helping to measure it."
"The land that Master Xia wants to buy is very large, stretching from your yard to the foot of Datian Mountain. Not only will he buy it for himself, he will also buy it for your family."
"Tsk tsk~~~"
"They said that children in the family will eventually grow up, and they bought a house and built it together. Everyone was so envious that their eyes turned red."
"Yes, yes, why don't other people have the blessing of the He family? Knowing a rich relative saves money on building a house. It's really..."
"Mrs. He, are you in need of relatives? I'll go and be your and your uncle's son."
Some of the people who started the commotion said something very shameless, which made everyone laugh heartily. They responded loudly, "Shameless! Our family can also be the son of Aunt He's family, and we can be any kind of relative."
"That's right, you guys have taken all the good things, bah bah bah..."
After the commotion, some people came over with a flattering look on their faces, scaring Mrs. He so much that she ran away very quickly, saying loudly: "It's really scary. Our family will not take the homestead bought by Brother Xia."
"Hurry up and go to the fields. Don't just stand here and watch the fun." She ran towards her man as fast as her feet could.
There were also people who were jealous, their eyes almost rolled up to the sky, saying sourly: "Tsk~~~ How dare He Pozi push away such a pie in the sky? I don't believe her."
"That's right. He might be running so fast to see how much residential land his family got."
"Hmph~~~ You are such an old lady who loves to take advantage of others. You are so pretentious."
other people:"······"
He glanced at the old women who were saying sour words, and quietly moved away from them, with expressions of disgust on his face.
"(ノ｀Д)ノ"
Without responding to their words, he walked towards the fields with his hands behind his back, laughing loudly and saying, "Some people are just petty-minded, like the tip of a needle. In fact, I envy them very much."
"Hahahahahaha..."
"O(n_n)O haha~"
The maids were laughed at and felt a little embarrassed. They said, "It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory. Who is jealous? It's nonsense."
No matter how they argued, the villagers with correct values did not respond. They just gave them a look and told them to figure it out for themselves.
The old man, who seemed to have some experience, had a smile on his face. He had just listened to the head of the village and raised a lot of ducks some time ago. He was worried that the He family would never come back after making money.
When some people in the village go to the town to buy things, they will deliberately walk in front of the door of Hejia Meishanfang to take a look. Everyone knows that the He family's business is very good and it is only a matter of time before they leave the village.
I didn't expect...
Suddenly a house was built in the village. This is a good thing. As long as the He family has roots in the village, everyone will be the first to think of when something good happens.
You can't hold a bowl in your hand and curse your mother. Thinking of this, she reminded a few old women and rolled her eyes. As for whether they listened or not, that was other people's business.
Mrs. He ran up to them and panted, "Brother Xia, you can use as much land as you want for this farm. You don't have to worry about the He family."
"The family has made some money, so we can afford to buy the land."
The left prime minister felt that this family was really...
He raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said, "Sister He, don't worry, these are all small matters. I heard that you want to reserve a room for Ning'er at home, don't you want the little girl to sleep more comfortably?"
He paused for a moment and then deliberately said, "Ning'er has a separate small courtyard at home, with mountains and water, and a special small kitchen, which is almost as big as the second courtyard."
Zheng Lizheng: “!!”
Ning'er is the little girl of the He family. It seems that the person in front of her is Ning'er's family. The yard for a girl is so small. The master of the Xia family in front of her is really rich.
The old couple of the He family: “!!”
Thinking of her own little courtyard, Ning'er couldn't help blushing because she had always slept in the same room with the couple. She felt it was really unfair to her.
The more she thought about it, the more she blushed. Mrs. He stammered, "Although we don't have enough money to build a small courtyard, we can still build a separate large house."
"You don't have to pay for this, Brother Xia. We agreed with Ning'er that our family would pay for her to stay in a room. I can't go back on my word."
Seeing her insistence, the Left Prime Minister thought for a moment and said, "Then the Xia family will be responsible for buying the land, and you will pay for the construction of Ning'er's house. That's it."
He was talking about the little girl's house, not all the houses in the He family. The children of the Xia family understood it and smiled with their heads down.
"Dad is really an old fox. Look at Father He and Empress He. They are still confused and think it makes sense. It's really...hahaha..."
Everyone decided on the homestead in the morning before they had even had breakfast.
