It turned out that Chen Zhixian had stuffed the medical fee he wanted to pay her into a snack box. He was not afraid that the snack box would be lost along the way.
For a county magistrate, two hundred taels of silver may not be much, but for a mountainous area like Xipo Village, two hundred taels is absolutely an astronomical figure.
Some people may not be able to earn two hundred taels of silver in their entire lives, let alone see and touch it.
Yuan Hao recognized that this was a bank note. When he saw someone walking in front of him, he pressed down Yuan Qiu's hand holding the bank note with one hand and whispered: "Sister, put it away quickly."
Only then did Yuan Qiu wake up from a dream. He quickly folded the two banknotes and stuffed them into his arms. Xiaopang was focused on eating snacks and didn't pay attention to the Yuan Qiu siblings and what the two pieces of paper were. Uncle Zhang was focused on He was driving ahead without even turning his head, so naturally he had no idea what was going on.
Returning to the small hut, Yuan Hao saw no one around, so he handed Yuan Qiu the thirty taels of silver notes hidden close to his body and the packet of broken silver that Yuan Qiu had given him yesterday.
"Sister, we have money now, why not move to the town? Aren't we going to open a herbal restaurant with Boss Xu? We might as well buy a house in the town." Yuan Hao explained what he had been thinking about all morning. He came out for no other reason than that he didn't want Liu Wenxuan to pester his sister again. He was afraid that his sister would be soft-hearted and accept Liu Wenxuan again, a person with a human face and a beast's heart.
Yuan Qiu smiled slightly: "Silly boy, do you think we can settle down and live in this town with the little money we have?"
Yuan Hao was puzzled: "Why isn't this possible? I heard that my third uncle bought a house in the town for more than one hundred taels of silver. Now we have more than three hundred taels of silver."
Yuan Qiu shook his head, stretched out his hand and tapped his nose, and said helplessly: "You are really a child at heart. Do you think living in the town is all about buying a house? Your third uncle bought a house in the town. That's because he has a good job and a fixed income every month. Even if he spends all his savings buying a house, he doesn't have to worry about having nothing to eat. But what about us? We have no property or job, even if we have to open a joint venture with Boss Xu The herbal food building is just an unknown quantity. It’s unclear whether it can make money. If it doesn’t succeed in the future, or it goes bankrupt due to something, what will we do?”
Yuan Hao frowned and looked gloomy. He didn't think so long-term. He just wanted to leave Xipo Village as soon as possible, get away from the harassment of his uncle's family, and stay away from Liu Wenxuan, a shameless person.
Seeing Yuan Hao's appearance, Yuan Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Silly boy, there is nothing to be upset about. We just can't go to the town for the time being. It doesn't mean we won't go in the future. Just wait." , Sister will definitely buy you a big house, and many maids and servants, and let you be the young master to take care of them, okay?"
Yuan Hao was amused by Yuan Qiu, the siblings laughed together, and their original gloomy mood was swept away.
The Yuanqiu family's house was built very quickly, with more than twenty people working at the same time. It only took two days to build the wall, and only half a day to lay the tiles. The next step was to build the fence, covering an entire acre of land. They all use blue bricks to build two-meter-high walls. This is a big deal. Liu Si said that only wealthy families in the city would build houses like this.
It took two days to build the wall. Yuan Qiu invited many aunts in the village to help clean it, and each of them received ten coppers.
The aunts rushed to sign up, and they could get ten coppers just for cleaning. To them, this was like wealth falling from the sky, and they could earn it with just a little effort.
