Chapter 385: Build a House to Ensure Safety

Because refugees are not bound by any laws, their behavior is unbridled, and the people are afraid of them. The government will arrest them when they see them.

All refugees caught by the government are sent to serve, such as mining, repairing rivers and roads, and they do the hardest and most tiring work.

Therefore, once they become refugees, these people will give up everything, and their destructive power is extremely great. They can earn every day they can.

"By then, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, they will definitely take risks and do some adventurous things. A yard like ours is just a decoration for them. So, mother has been thinking all the way. Let's sit together after dinner to discuss and solve the safety problem of our family."

When Bai Yunxi said this, not only Li was surprised, but even Du stopped her work and came over with a small stool.

She had heard her deceased grandfather mention the word refugee. It means the kind of people who are so hungry that they will rush to snatch food without hesitation when they see it, and they are not afraid of death.

But she has only heard about it over the years, but has never seen it. Now that her mother-in-law mentioned refugees again, she is afraid to think about it.

"Mom, if the war ends in a few days, if we rush to build a house at this time, won't it be too conspicuous?"

The atmosphere in the village has been very depressing recently, all because of the grain sales. Everyone agreed that they had suffered a great loss and were cheated by the grain merchants, and they looked at everyone with a frown.

Du looked at her mother-in-law and didn't say anything, and explained with an embarrassed face,

"What my wife meant was that if we build a house at this time, I'm afraid no one would be willing to help.

When the villagers build a house, the host family will provide food. As long as they have a good relationship, someone will come to help. This kind of thing comes and goes, and no family can escape.

No one complained, but since the death of her father-in-law, her family has not been in harmony with the villagers. If no one lends a hand, they will be laughed at, and their family will lose face.

Bai Yunxi looked at the worry in Du's eyes and waved her hand directly,

"Don't worry, I won't ask the villagers to help. If we decide to build a house this time, mother is going to ask the ink master in the town to build the house for us. ”

The master painter in this period is equivalent to the chief engineer of the house.

He is also the team leader. As long as the master painter is hired well, the owner does not have to worry about the construction of the whole house.

The master painter and his apprentices completed the work alone, starting from the foundation, to material selection, rent structure, construction management and supervision, and a series of construction matters... including Feng Shui are all under the control of the master painter.

Of course, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy.

Li listened to her mother-in-law's plan, her eyes sparkled,

"Mom, I agree with any decision you make. It's better not to ask the villagers for help, so that they won't find fault with us and say bad things about us. ”

Since my mother refused the village's request last time, the villagers couldn't help but say something sarcastic when they saw her.

They said her family had stored grain and hadn't sold it. Maybe they had heard the news long ago and benefited from it. They stared at the villagers with wide eyes and laughed at them.

Hearing Li's whining tone, Du couldn't help but glared at her,

"Since the villagers knew that our family didn't sell grain, who didn't say a few sarcastic words? I advised you to stay at home and don't go out to get angry, but you didn't listen. So you're still angry, right?"

"I'm not angry. Even if they don't tell me what's wrong, what can they do to me? They are worried about the price drop of grain and are anxious to sell it. What does it have to do with us? It's not us who urged them to sell the grain. If they make money, will they spend a penny on me?"
