Chapter 29 Masochistic Constitution

   Whatever the wives want to do, they follow. No matter what, this life is much better than before.

  As long as you can eat enough, it doesn't matter if you are tired.

  There is only more than 100 mu of wasteland. If it can’t be finished in a month, it will take a year. One day, the wasteland will be opened up.

  Thinking that their family will also have a hundred acres of land in a few years, Mu Yun couldn't help thinking crazy.

   "What are you thinking? Hurry up, it will be dark in a while."

   Qiao Yi was walking, but seeing no movement behind her, she couldn't help but turn her head, and then saw Mu Yun stupidly standing there in a daze.

   "Huh? Oh."

   He responded blankly, and then trotted to follow.

   When the two arrived home, Mu Xuan had already prepared all the meals.

  The buns I bought included ten for Mu Ru, four for the driver, six for the road, and ten more.

   Mu Xuan was afraid that he would not have enough food, so he cooked some broken rice porridge.

   Green vegetables are fried cabbage.

   It may be because of the hunger, the family's food is very delicious.

  After dinner and clearing away the dishes, the family started a small family meeting again.

   Hearing Mu Yun talk about the land purchase, several people were very happy.

  They are not afraid of being tired, as long as they can eat enough, no matter how hard or tired they are?

   "How much silver do we have now? How much will it cost to build two brick and tile houses?"

   Joy doesn't know a lot about the prices in this world. The only thing she knows is the prices of those pots, pans, and vegetables.

   "There are 13, 250, and 500 more."

  Mu Yun glanced at the silver tael in his bosom before answering.

"A blue brick and tile house, if you count everything, it will cost about three taels of silver. If two rooms are built together, five taels is enough. A mud house is cheaper. If you have mud bricks at home, you will need one tael for each house." It's useless."

   It was Mu Xuan who spoke at this time.

"My wife, we are not going to the palace. There is no source of income for the time being. It is better for us to save some money. Why don't we build two mud houses first. Although it is not as good as blue bricks, as long as there is a kang inside, it will be better in winter." It's not cold either."

  Mu Chen spoke timidly.

  So much money has shrunk by more than ten taels in such a short period of time, it hurts his heart to see it.

   Qiao Yi glanced at Mu Chen, feeling quite speechless.

  This Mu Chen is really a miser, it's useless not to spend money if he loses it.

   Besides, if you don’t spend money, how can you have the motivation to make money?

  But Joey still respects everyone's opinions.

   "If everyone agrees to build a mud room, I have no objection."

   "Building a house made of green bricks and tiles."

   "Blue brick house."

   "Blue brick house."

   "Xiao Chenchen, you heard that, your brothers agreed to build a blue brick house."

   "I, I have no problem."

  Mu Chen lowered his head in heartache. After the house is built, his family has no money.

  Mu Chen was a little depressed, so he didn't pay attention to Qiao Yi's address, otherwise he would definitely blush again.

  Qiao Yi saw that Mu Chen was a little depressed, sighed, and spoke slowly.

"Xiao Chenchen, this money is not something that you can keep and you can get more and more. It is not a human being that can be born and raised. Only when you spend this money can you have more motivation to make money. Your wife is the owner of the house. If you can earn twelve taels once, then you can earn more next time. What we have to do is not to keep the money in our hands, but to think about how to use it reasonably, and then make more money.”

"Besides, you keep so much money in your hand, what if you lose it? What if you get stolen by a thief? It's better to build a house than that. In this way, even if someone misses it, if the thief comes to steal it, he won't be able to steal it, right? ? Do you think I'm right?"

  Qiao Yi patiently enlightened Mu Chen.

  This kind of miser's nature is unacceptable. If he really wants to make a lot of money in the future, with Mu Chen's personality, he probably won't be able to do it for long.

  If you give up, you get something. If you don’t give up some, how can you get more?

   "Yes." Mu Chen nodded, but felt a little uncomfortable.

   "Wife master, the fourth brother is just afraid of poverty, and he will think about it after a while."

  Mu Yun knew what Mu Chen was thinking, and so did he, but he didn't show it.

"It's okay, you guys persuade him. Then let's continue the topic just now. I plan to build two blue brick houses as bedrooms, two mud rooms, one as a kitchen, and one as a warehouse. I'm building a few pigpens and chicken coops. As for the outer wall, it will be surrounded by tree branches for the time being, and it will be built with bricks in spring when money is available."

"Two green brick and tile houses cost five taels, two mud houses and a pigpen and chicken coop, two taels of silver is enough. Add labor and other odds and ends, ten taels of silver is enough. "

  Mu Yun did the math, once all these miscellaneous things were gone, they would only have three or two taels left in their hands.

  They have no fields, so they have no harvest. In this way, they need to buy food and drink throughout the winter, and they also need to buy bedding after building a house. The three taels of silver may not be able to support the beginning of spring.

  Mu Yun was very worried.

   "It's okay, before winter comes, I will try to find a way to make some money."

  Joy knew about Mu Yun's worries, but she had her own thoughts.

   "Tomorrow Mu Xuan and I will go to the bricklayer together. Mu Yun, please make Mu Qing's clothes first. His clothes can't be worn anymore."

"Um."

  Mu Yun responded, even if the wife owner didn't say anything, he would still make clothes for the elder brother first.

   Having said all that needed to be said, Joey curled up in a corner and fell asleep with Xiaoxue in his arms.

  The next morning, before Qiao Yi woke up, the Mu brothers got up.

   Those who cook cook, those who feed chickens feed chickens, and even Mu Qing, who has injured one hand, is chopping firewood.

  By the time Joey woke up, the meal was ready.

  Looking at the four Mu family brothers who looked good in front of them, Qiao Yi also felt much happier.

  Before the four of them were lifeless, she felt chills down her back when she saw them.

  After eating, Qiao Yi took Mu Xuan to the next village, Wangjia Village.

  Wangjia Village is upstream of Qiaojia Village. In order not to cause trouble, the two took a small road.

  The narrow path can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

  Joy was wondering as she walked. She still remembered that when she first came, Mu Xuan's temper was like a firecracker, and he would yell at her for nothing, but these days, he was quiet.

   Not only did she not hate her, but she also said less.

Among the four brothers of the Mu family, Mu Qing doesn't like to talk. Mu Chen seems to be very afraid of her, and shrinks when he speaks. As for Mu Yun, he respects her very much. Whatever you say is what you say. Only this Mu Xuan has some personality. .

   But now, why does she feel that this Mu Xuan is a bit like Mu Chen's development?

   "What do you see me doing? Watch the road."

  Mu Xuan was very uncomfortable being looked at by Qiao Yi, and he was quite annoyed in his heart, so his tone became a little rushed.

  After speaking, Mu Xuan felt a little regretful. The eldest brother and the second brother told him a lot to let him restrain his bad temper, but unexpectedly he still couldn't hold back.

  Joy: "..."

   Did she say that her nature is hard to change?

   Originally, Mu Xuan wanted to say something to calm down, but when he saw Qiao Yi's expression that should be like this, he immediately groaned angrily.

   "Hurry up, there are still a lot of things at home, you walk so slowly, when can you reach Wangjiacun?"

   "..."

  Joy felt that he had a masochistic physique.

   This Mu Xuan didn't say a few words to her, she felt uncomfortable.
