68 Liu Shi was Happy
When she heard that her daughter had earned 305 taels of silver in town today, and that she might get another 20 taels of silver later, she was completely dumbfounded.
Just last night, she thought that there was hope when they received 42 taels of silver. Now, she suddenly felt that money was raining on them.
She suspected that she was dreaming.
So, she pinched her own face.
“Ouch…” it hurt.
Lin Xiaoyue was amused by her mother’s action and quickly held her hand.
“Mom, it’s true! We will have a good life soon!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Liu Shi finally came back to her senses.
Then, she threw herself at her daughter and hugged her.
“Sob… sob…”
Lin Xiaoyue patted Liu Shi’s back and comforted her patiently.
“Mom, why are you crying? Shouldn’t we think about how to build the yard and buy some furniture…”
“I’m just happy… sob…”
She couldn’t hold back anymore.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and continued to comfort Liu Shi, and at the same time, she hugged her brother who was also crying.
After a while, Liu Shi finally got up.
“We’re rich now, we need to build a bigger yard,” said Lin Xiaoyue as she wiped away her tears.
In the future, she would need to find a son-in-law for her daughter. When her son grew up, he would also need to marry. The yard needed to be bigger to fit all of them.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up. She didn’t expect her mother to be thinking about such things.
“We’ll build a house with bricks and tiles just like the village chief’s house. We’ll have many rooms. We’ll also need a big kitchen, a woodshed, and a barn!”
Liu Shi paused.
“Bricks and tiles?” Those weren’t cheap.
“Yes! Use the money I gave you first. If it’s not enough, I still have more!” Lin Xiaoyue said.
She still had 100 taels of silver notes, 55 taels of silver, and opper coins in her hands.
The amount of prey she could sell to Ruyi Restaurant would be reduced. She had to see if she could find a reliable way to earn money.
Liu Shi paused.
She remembered that they now had more than 350 taels of silver, and the money was earned by her daughter. She had to respect her daughter’s opinion, so she nodded.
“Okay! I’ll listen to you!”
“Thank you, mom!” Lin Xiaoyue came forward and kissed Liu Shi on the face.
“You’re still a child!” Liu Shi was amused.
Lin Xiaozhi saw that and wanted to kiss his mother too.
Liu Shi was helpless. She hugged her youngest son and let him kiss her on the face.
Then, she went outside to continue hanging up the laundry.
Lin Xiaoyue first sent the wicker basket and the pole back to Aunt Wang’s house. Then, she went to Carpenter Sun’s house.
Since Daishi Village was big, there were some working as carpenters.
Last night, Carpenter Sun’s wife came to buy wild boar meat from her. Aunt Wang had introduced them, saying that Carpenter Sun’s carpentry work was very good. Even those from the neighboring village came to him to make furniture.
Lin Xiaoyue walked all the way, and when she saw the villagers, she greeted them with a smile, then asked for directions to Carpenter Sun’s house.
Just as she reached the outside of his house, Lin Xiaoyue saw him pushing a cart filled with wood in the courtyard.
As expected of a carpenter’s house. There was a lot of wood and wood shavings on the ground.
“Uncle Sun!” Lin Xiaoyue called out and went to the gate.
