Tian Yuqiao had received thirty taels of silver from Qiushan Mountain. Adding to her original twenty taels of silver, it was enough for her to build a house.
Without further ado, she and Yuan Xuan calculated that if they wanted to build five rooms, they would need at least twenty thousand pieces of green brick and three thousand pieces of tile.
After she calculated all of this, she directly ordered all of the bricks and tiles down. As for the lumber that was still missing, Yuan Ji insisted on cutting it on the mountain himself, refusing to let Tian Yujia use his money no matter what.
Tian Yuqiao had no choice but to agree.
Each of them carried a big basket of steamed buns and steamed buns back. These were all things they could eat when they returned. She had to wait until the wood was dry before she could open fire and cook, so she bought so many ready-made food this time.
The food would last for three to five days. Furthermore, the weather would become cold and the food would not be broken.
Tian Yuqiao thought to himself. If he wanted to build a house now, he needed to buy land. She did not plan to build it on the mountain. Not only was the wind blowing strongly, there would also be roars of wild beasts from time to time.
After returning to the village, Tian Yuqiao went to the Village Chief's house and brought ten steamed buns. She smiled and said, "Village Head Grandpa, I have something I need to trouble you with."
The Village Chief also knew that the wind was strong last night, so he reckoned that this little girl planned to move back. However, the people from the old residence of Tian Village were also not that easy to talk to. This matter would be very difficult.
Tian Yuqiao saw that the village chief's face was a little stiff, so she handed over the ten steamed buns. She smiled and said, "Village Head Grandpa, I plan to buy a few mu of land from the village. I don't know if there are any suitable ones. "Also, I intend to build a house in the village. I would like to ask for your help."
When the Village Chief heard this, he did not ask for his help to get them back to the Tian Residence, but to buy land instead. What? Did he hear wrong? That little girl, Joel, even said she wanted to build a house!
"Qiao'er, are you serious?" Do you really want to buy land and build a house? " The Village Head had an expression of disbelief.
"That's right, Village Chief, Grandfather. Right now, the temple on the mountain has been blown down by the wind and rain. We are all homeless now. I hope that Village Chief will be able to help settle this matter as soon as possible." Tian Yuqiao's face was filled with sincerity.
"That's fine, that's fine. On Doctor Lin's side, near the foot of the mountain, was a piece of barren land. That land was cheaper, as long as it was 2 taels of silver per mu of land. If it was a good land, it would cost 5 taels of silver per mu of land. "Qiao'er, what kind of land are you planning to buy?"
The village chief did not think that Tian Yuqiao was able to afford the land, but he still told her the price of the land honestly.
"Village Head Grandpa, how big is the wasteland beside Grandpa Lin's house?" Tian Yuqiao asked out of curiosity.
"It's probably less than two mu. I'll only charge you three taels of silver." From the bamboo fence at Doctor Lin's house to the foot of the mountain, it has all been there. " The village chief said with a smile.
When Tian Yuqiao heard this, she immediately fished out three taels of silver from her purse and said to the village head, "Then I will buy that land first and build a house there. When the time comes, I will have to trouble the village head's grandfather to invite some of the village leaders over and pay twenty taels of silver a day. This is what my mother said."
When the Village Chief heard this, his interest was immediately piqued. She was too lazy to ask how the family head got the money. If the village head could make some money while they were idle, it would be a good year for them. As the Village Chief, he naturally had to support this sort of thing that was beneficial to the village.
"Qiao'er, go back and tell your mother not to worry. Leave the matter of finding someone to take care of to me." I'll help you get the land deed tomorrow. Tell your mother not to rush it. " The Village Head laughed, the wrinkles on his face deepened.
After Tian Yuqiao left the Village Head's house, she returned to the mountain and told the Wang family about her purchase of the one-acre wasteland at the foot of the mountain. She also told Wang Shi that she planned to build a house at the foot of the mountain.
"Qiao'er, your wooden ear can sell for that much silver?" Mrs Wang's mouth was wide open.
She was truly regretful now. If she knew that Mu Er could sell for that much money, why would she be so greedy? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made so many wooden grits to eat.
Seeing Lady Wang's regretful expression, Tian Yuqiao quickly said, "Mother, we should eat this Mu Er by ourselves. After all, this thing is good for the body and can help expel the impurities in the body."
"Yeah, if that's the case, then no wonder that Mu Er can sell for so much silver. "But Qiao'er … Mum feels that living on the mountain is good enough. At the very least, I'll be free and at ease like this." Mrs Wang was a little worried.
The thought of returning to the village and being so close to the Tian Residence at the foot of the mountain frightened her.
Tian Yuqiao knew that with her weak character, it was because she was worried that someone from her hometown would bully her. Therefore, she could understand Lady Wang's feelings.
"Mother, it's alright. We are the people at the head of that village." We are on the mountain now because our house was burned down. Now I have a large deposit in my hand, enough for us to build a big house. "If we were to build a house on this mountain, I'm afraid that would not be good." Tian Yu Qiao said.
Yuan Ji also said, "What little sister Qiao'er said makes some sense. Mother, don't worry. From now on, you will be staying at the foot of the mountain. Junior brother and I will come down to visit you."
"Aren't you going to come down and live with us?" Mrs Wang was surprised.
"No, even if we die, we will die on the mountain. After all, this was the place where Master took us in." Yuan Su had a serious expression.
Lady Wang's tears flowed. When she thought of being separated from her two adorable sons, she couldn't help but have a bad taste in her heart.
"Hehe, Mother, what are you doing? This mountain was no longer habitable. I have already thought it through. Let's build five rooms at the foot of the mountain, one for Junior Brother Yuan Ji and Junior Brother Yuan Tong. "In the future, when I have enough money, I will rebuild the South Mountain Temple and they will come back." Tian Yu Qiao said.
"That's good, we can't live here anymore. Xiao Er and Tong Er will have to stay with us at the foot of the mountain for a while." Mrs Wang happily smiled.
After everyone ate the steamed buns, they all felt warm. How to sleep at night was a big problem.
Now, the remaining two and a half rooms might collapse at some point, so he couldn't go in to live. Fortunately, he managed to rescue them in time.
