As for Yang Chuxia, she didn’t actually move in with Ms. Wang, only occasionally going over there for meals. As for that little rascal Luo Linhao, he was taken to the county town by Mu Shaoling.
The day after Ye Zi’an left, Yang Chuxia thought that the house was rather messy, with the owner’s and guest areas all being in the same building, while the two branches of servants were scattered around different houses.
Furthermore, the previous matter of checking the shops was interrupted halfway, and now that she had just gotten married, her father and mother probably wouldn’t let her travel far while Brother An wasn’t around.
So she had Fugui go find Uncle Niu in the county town, and then the two of them would go check the shops together.
Uncle Old Gen was called over as well, and was told that two more small buildings would be built at home, one in the front and one in the back, as well as constructing some rooms for the servants to live in. With work to do, Uncle Old Gen was naturally happy, but couldn’t help but envy in his heart, thinking that in the future, Yangshu Village would have only the third branch of the family and the Ye family being the most prominent.
Thinking that he himself also had the last name Yang, and was related to both families, they would always come to him first for any work. In the past two years, he had also made a lot of money from the third branch, and his smile deepened at the thought.
Yang Chuxia didn’t know why Uncle Old Gen was happy one moment and down the next, but anyway, she just needed to state her requests clearly.
"Uncle Old Gen, the color of the exterior walls of these two small buildings should be the same as the current one. This paper is the layout, please take it and think about it, and if you have any questions, come and ask me. As for the materials needed for the house, I’ll have Brother Li discuss it with you."
"Alright, I understand." Uncle Old Gen took the blueprint from Yang Chuxia, and it didn’t seem difficult to understand, just a bit more complicated than the current one.
While the group was talking, Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan came over. Seeing Uncle Old Gen there, Yang Dachuan went to chat with him.
Ms. Wang pulled Yang Chuxia aside and couldn’t help but scold, "You child, why are you building more houses? Brother An isn’t home, and if you make decisions , what if he doesn’t like it when he comes back?"
"Mom, he wouldn’t mind. Don’t worry; I want to build the house because everything is in a mess right now. You haven’t seen our storeroom, it’s so small that it’s hard to stuff anything inside. Also, look at the servants from the other two branches, they’re all crammed together. Also, when we had guests a while ago, we all stayed on the second floor, which doesn’t look good."
Ms. Wang thought about her own house at the moment, with big and small courtyards, clear divisions, and looking at her daughter’s place, it really wasn’t spacious enough.
However, she still said, "Even so, you should have consulted with Brother An before doing anything."
"I mentioned it to him before he left, and he agreed."
"Ah, he really indulges you." Seeing her daughter’s relaxed appearance, Ms. Wang didn’t know what to say. Normally, a son-in-law treating a daughter well would make her happy, but why did she have a feeling that he couldn’t stand up straight in front of her daughter?
Well, Ms. Wang didn’t know there was a term called "henpecked husband," and that’s exactly what she was worried about.
"Mom." Noticing her mom’s solemn expression, Yang Chuxia hugged her mom’s arm, "Don’t worry about this, we always make decisions together. I won’t make decisions on my own."
"That’s good." Ms. Wang patted her head and said, "Pay attention to your menstruation this time, if it doesn’t come, be careful, and have the women go ask Uncle Cai to take a pulse for you, understand?"
