70 Aunt Jiang

She almost forgot that since Uncle Sun was a carpenter, they must know someone in construction.

“Hehe.” Aunt Sun smiled and looked at her husband.

“My brother is a builder and have built many houses and courtyards in my hometown. His team is very experienced. “If you would like, I will ask them for you tomorrow,” said Aunt Sun.

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

“Of course, thank you!” said Lin Xiaoyue quickly.

“Hehe, you’re welcome. It’s not far. They are in Huangshan Village. I’ll go tomorrow morning and bring him here tomorrow afternoon to talk to you in person.”

Lin Xiaoyue paused.

Afternoon? She had to teach Liang Chengcai tomorrow…

“Okay! Then we’ll wait at home tomorrow afternoon,” she agreed.

The construction of the house could not be delayed. It seemed that she could only bring some materials to Liang Chengcai and start the cla.s.s the day after.

Anyway, it was only second or third grade math. After knowing the basics, she should be able to teach him very quickly.

After chatting with uncle and Aunt Sun for a while, Lin Xiaoyue declined Aunt Sun’s invitation to stay for dinner before she went home.

When she got home, Lin Xiaoyue told Liu s.h.i.+ about the furniture she asked Uncle Sun to make and the house she was going to build.

Liu s.h.i.+ listened to her and did not raise any objections.

Then, Liu s.h.i.+ started the fire while Lin Xiaoyue cooked. She made braised pork with soy sauce, shredded pork with fish sauce, and sweet and sour cabbage.

The family of three had a good meal.

After the meal, Aunt w.a.n.g brought w.a.n.g Erya to Liu s.h.i.+ to do embroidery work.

This time, Aunt Jiang of the Jiang family and her second daughter, Jiang Xiaohua, came with Aunt w.a.n.g.

Aunt Jiang was quite close to Aunt w.a.n.g’s family, and her family’s situation was not much different from that of the Lin family.

Because Aunt Jiang had given birth to three daughters in a row, Old Lady Jiang was extremely displeased with her daughter-in-law, so she was made to do most of the housework.

Last year, Aunt Jiang was pregnant with her fourth child, but she had a miscarriage due to overworking.

Then, her mother-in-law continued to beat and scold her. Mr. Jiang could not bear it anymore, so he proposed a separation and took his family out of there.

Usually, Mr. Jiang would go with Uncle w.a.n.g to work at the town pier, while Mrs. Jiang would stay at home to do housework. Although the days were tough, they were getting by.

At the moment, it was slack season in farming. When Mrs. Jiang heard that Aunt w.a.n.g’s second daughter was learning needlework from Liu s.h.i.+, she was interested

Last night, she first went to the Liu family house to buy a catty of meat. Today, she brought ten eggs for them, hoping hat her second daughter could learn from Liu s.h.i.+.

Liu s.h.i.+ usually did not socialize with the villagers. Now that someone took the initiative to socialize, she was happy to help.

So the few women sat under the big tree and began to chat.

When Aunt w.a.n.g and Aunt Jiang heard that Liu s.h.i.+ was going to build a house, they were all happy for her, especially Aunt Jiang, whose eyes were filled with envy.

“Xiaoyue is a capable one. Your future is bright!” Aunt Jiang said with a smile.

“That’s right! I don’t think there are many in our village who are as capable as her!” Aunt w.a.n.g added.

Liu s.h.i.+ blushed a little when she heard that.
