Chapter 31 Busy, Dong Chenghu's sister
Now, their family is no longer the richest in Caozi Village. More importantly, with the help of Dong Chenghu, Gu Daniu has to work in the county government office. He has always believed that he can support their daughter and son-in-law and cannot even see the figure, let alone help their family.
Huang was so angry that he fell a lot of things, and then felt distressed and hated Gu Mingde's family more and more. He didn't know who took the initiative to plot against others at the beginning. This person just couldn't stand others' goodness!
Because of this, Huang made up his mind to go to Panlong Town with Gu Laifu to find Gu Zhenzhu and ask her in person what she meant. They tried their best to marry her to the town, but the girl turned a blind eye to them. Huang really couldn't tolerate it.
If she doesn't get any benefits from Gu Zhenzhu, how can she look up in front of Dad Gu in the future? It was because she and Gu Laifu used methods to make Dad Gu break his trust. Dad Gu could not blame Gu Laifu, so she could only count everything on her.
Thinking of this, Huang became more and more unable to sit still, and the next day he went to Panlong Town with Gu Laifu.
Not to mention what happened after Huang met Gu Zhenzhu.
When Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu returned home, they were full of energy to start burning bricks and building houses.
Now that the house has been designed, the bricks burned enough for them to lay the foundation. Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu walked around Cuizhu Mountain several times, and finally chose a high ground not far from the cave to build a house. The flat land on this high ground is about five or six acres, which is more than enough to build a large yard. More importantly, it is simple to pack up here and the terrain is relatively high, so there is no need to worry about rain or something.
He did it as soon as he said that, the next day, Gu Shuixiu and Dongcheng measured the land together and made a ruler. Dong Chenghu immediately started to make ground. Gu Shuixiu went to find a big tree suitable for building beams and marked the trees. At that time, Dong Chenghu came directly to cut down the trees.
After making these, Gu Shuixiu continued to burn bricks, not only did he burn the bricks of the house, but he also had to burn the roof tiles and the large floor tiles on the floor.
Gu Shuixiu used the mucus burned from seaweed with the screened soil and wood ash to act as concrete. Dong Chenghu laid the foundation and started building the house. After the foundation was laid, the house was built soon. The two of them rushed forward and finally built the general structure of the house after a month.
It rained a few days during this period. Fortunately, it was not heavy rain, so it would not have any impact on the house. After the rain, it was sunny again. It was dry for a while and the house was dry.
Today's houses are similar to modern bungalows. Although they only have one floor, the height is increased. You can also make a small attic to put things out.
The couple looked at the house in front of them with joy. They would be able to move into the new house soon. They were still solid brick and tile houses. Even if they encountered storms, they didn't have to worry about the collapse of the house.
Unfortunately, the rainy season has entered a month after the rain. The construction cannot be continued this month. Dong Chenghu took this time to cut down the big trees that made the beams. There were more than twenty of them, and he was still in the yard in front of the cave. These cut down trees cannot be used directly, and they have to be completely dried before they can be made into the beams. Now it has been raining and cannot be dried.
Dong Chenghu simply covered some hay on it and came to dry it after the rainy season.
Before the time for Gu Daniu reported, the two of them took advantage of this time to burn the bricks. This time they burned the floor tiles, and the formwork used was also remade, which was smaller than the current ceramic tiles. However, the floor tiles took more time and needed to be polished. Once polished, they were almost the same as the ceramic tiles.
Because the process is complicated, Gu Shuixiu planned to lay floor tiles only in the house, and those in the yard would go to the beach to find pebbles. It would be easy to use pebbles to pave pebbles and facilitate.
The two of them were busy for a few days. Because there was no sunshine, all the made floor tiles were placed in the cave. They could not be dried, so they could only be dried. They waited for the couple to come back from Panlong Town to burn them.
During this period, the Gu family was looking forward to Gu Shuixiu and his wife, and finally came to their senses. Gu Daniu immediately chased Dong Chenghu and asked about going to the county government.
Zhao clarified his thoughts, first asked about the donkey cart, and finally asked Gu Mingde for money for his treatment, and then he carefully asked about Dong Chenghu's family background.
It’s not that Zhao was curious. Dong Chenghu looked like a beggar at the beginning, but now he is so rich. The contrast is not too big. If Gu Laifu and his family knew that Dong Chenghu was so rich, they wouldn’t have given such a rich son-in-law to their family.
Gu Shuixiu didn't plan to tell Zhao in detail, and she got over it with a few ambiguous words. It was not that she didn't trust Zhao, but that Zhao had to deal with these village women every day, and there would inevitably be rumors. Then they would be missed, so why bother?
If it weren't for Gu Mingde's heavy burden, she wouldn't have told Gu Mingde about these things.
It was much more convenient for a few people to go out with a donkey cart. Gu Daniu immediately packed up his clothes and urged Dong Chenghu to set off quickly. Gu Shuixiu was going to visit Gu Mingde in Panlong Town and walked with them.
At that time, Gu Shuixiu will stay in Panlong Town to serve Gu Mingde for a few days, and will wait for Dong Chenghu to come back from Zhishui County before picking her up.
Because it was rainy season, the family was not busy, so Dong Chenghu drove a donkey cart and took Gu Daniu slowly to Zhishui County. Gu Shuixiu took care of Gu Mingde for more than ten days before he returned from Zhishui County.
But seeing his expression seemed a little ugly, Gu Shuixiu felt strange and finally couldn't hold it in one day and asked.
Only then did I realize that Dong Chenghu had another sister and a younger sister. His younger sister Dong Yunlan got lost when she was young. Because of her poor family, her sister Dong Yunmei gave her to a child bride in Zhishui County when she was eight years old. The reason why she fell in love with that family was because the son of that family was a scholar, but her family devoted all her efforts to support her children's studies, and she was so poor.
It just so happened that the family was interested in finding a child bride, so Dong Chenghu's father Dong Yitao agreed. This has been more than ten years since he was far away. Because he had never visited this sister in Zhishui County. When he went back, he even asked about it specifically, but he didn't know that all the news came from was bad.
Some people say that Dong Yunmei's mother-in-law abused her, while others say that because Dong Yunmei gave birth to two daughters, she was despised by her in-laws as a money-losing product, so she was very bad for them and often refused to give her food.
Dong Chenghu was very worried when he heard this and immediately wanted to find Dong Yunmei. He pulled Gu Daniu to the door of Dong Yunmei's in-laws' house. The one who opened the door was a young wife. When he heard that he was Dong Yunmei's younger brother, he looked disgusted. Not only did he not let them enter, but he also stood at the door and sarcastically.
Dong Chenghu was so angry that he was very angry, but the other party was a young wife and could not do anything. Dong Chenghu, who was so angry, asked the neighbors and found out that the young wife was Dong Yunmei's husband's new wife. This young wife was very powerful. She also had an identity as Dong Yunmei's husband's cousin.
