The second section of the family also started to hire people to build the house.

Originally, they were thinking of borrowing some materials such as bricks, stones, and gravel from the first section of the family, but Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had long been on guard against them. The purchase of these things was contracted to the foreman who built the house, and the foreman was responsible for the purchase.

All Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan did was to examine the quality and sign, confirming the source of the material on each paper.

The foreman would gain some profits from it too.

Most people in this era were quite practical. They took money and worked hard. Also, they barely had a chance to fabricate anything.

For example, the number of black bricks bought could not be fabricated.

They used solid woods, not composite lumber.

With the foreman who was in charge, the first section of the family saved themselves a lot of trouble. What they needed was to get everything examined well but not get worried about anything else.

But Ms. Niu and Second Uncle did not know about this. They tried to carry the black bricks away and said resolutely, “This is my Eldest Brother’s home, and I can borrow a few as his brother! I can repay them later. You are an outsider and this matter has nothing to do with you, you are just a laborer! What are you stopping me for?”

But the foreman lectured them and explained the details with a cold face, driving them away.

He had bought everything with his money, and if Ms. Niu carried them away, he would need to make the compensation himself!

They had not expected that the first section of the family had done the preparation in this way, thus getting even more annoyed.

“The first section of the family has spent so much money in hiring people, how much is it? They haven’t lent us anything, but they can waste the money on this!”

Ms. Zhang was most furious.

The second section of the family did not offer to build a new house for her when she got married. But now Silang was getting married and he would get a new house.

She was not worse than anyone else as a daughter-in-law, why was she so badly treated?

She did not dare to complain about iat in front of Ms. Niu but cried badly in front of Shao Erlang behind their backs.

Shao Erlang had not felt that anything was wrong with it because he felt happy that his family was getting a new house. But hearing her tearful complaints, he could not help but feel annoyed and displeased.

He could not help but mention this to Second Uncle that he needed one more room too because his children were growing up and they would have no place to live in later on.

Second Uncle and Ms. Niu, who were still annoyed by not being able to get anything from the first section of the family, lectured Shao Erlang on hearing what he said.

One room was already so difficult for them, how could they afford two?

They would talk about building new ones in the future!

Ms. Niu was sure that it was Ms. Zhang who would have mentioned it. So she lectured her and gave her a hard time for a few days in a row.

Ms. Zhang felt so upset that she cribbed about Ms. Niu and Second Uncle as well as the first section of the family.

But for the stingy first section of the family, nothing like this would have happened.

On the other hand, the first section of the family had no idea what was going on with the second section of the family.

Despite s.h.i.+fting to a new room, Shao Yunduan was still reading, memorizing books most of the time, whilst Qiao Xuan took a break and went into the mountains again.

Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni kept her company on some occasions.

Qiao Xuan and her team did not go into the deep section of mountains every time. There were many mushrooms in the forests as well. They could see the creeping figs every now and then, and she was able to find them easily.

There were many wild fruits in the mountains too, ripe with a sweet and sour taste.

There were a lot of fun things in the mountains..
