I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 398 Living in a big house and being hungry

If you add furniture and the like, the total cost is estimated to be 70 guan. With her current financial resources, it is still possible to spend 70 to 80 guan to build the yard.

Two hundred guan may not be a big deal to a wealthy family, but for ordinary people like them, if it had not happened to be a war, some people would not have been able to earn so much in their lifetime.

 Unfortunately, before she could open her mouth, Bai Anyan grabbed her sleeve.

Bai Yunxi turned around, saw the confusion in Lao Er's eyes, stood up directly, followed him to the side, raised his eyebrows,

"what happened?"

Bai Anyan looked at his mother, then looked back at the ink master sitting in the yard, and whispered,

“Mom, does it cost too much to build this yard? Our family doesn’t have that much money.”

I thought it would be cost-effective for him to put in the grain from the autumn harvest and build a house.

Now that he heard it, he felt that he might not be able to raise enough money for the yard if he worked for another two years.

After hearing her words, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but curl her lips.

“Don’t worry, I know how much it will cost to build a big yard, and I will definitely not go back to the days of poverty.”

Hearing her mother's tone, Bai Anyan's eyes were full of doubts.

 The family only harvested this amount of grain for one season, so how could my mother have the confidence to build a big house?

But he didn’t dare to ask, for fear that his mother would be angry. Thinking about the food that his mother had locked in the apartment, he still felt uncertain.

He couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought about his family living in a big house and starving together.

Hearing the second son’s thoughts, Bai Yunxi looked up at him and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Don't worry about this. Mom knows it very well. We have already thought carefully about building a yard."

“Today I asked the master ink master to come over and estimate the materials needed to build the house. I also want to see if we can afford it? Now listen, although the price is slightly higher, it is still within mother’s plan.”

 After saying this, Bai Yunxi patted his arm, turned around and went back.

I consulted the details with Cui Palm Mo again, so that there was a score in my heart.

After the two of them had negotiated, Baiyunxi turned around and ordered the second child and the fourth child,

“The two of you go to the brick kiln with Master Mo and me, order the bricks and tiles as soon as possible, and then order all the required wood, and start construction as soon as possible in the current form.”

 “Yes, mother.”

 Watching the two sons return to the house to get ready, Bai Yunxi turned to look at Boss Cui.

“I forgot to ask, how long does it take from start to finish?”

 Listening to Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Boss Cui did some calculations.

“If we use all our own people, it can be completed within two months.”

As soon as Mr. Cui finished speaking, Cui Dalang raised his hand towards Baiyun River.

"Aunt Bai, don't think too much. My father means that we can take care of our own people so that it is easier to manage and complete the work on time every day. If Aunt Bai also hires helpers, we can't interfere at will in terms of management. The rest is fine. .”

Bai Yunxi glanced at Cui Dalang and chuckled,

"Don't worry about this. Because I am rushing to build the house, I am not going to ask the villagers for help. I will leave it all to the Cui family brother. The only requirement is to complete the house as soon as possible while maintaining quality and quantity."

Boss Cui pursed his lips and nodded, with a serious look on his face.

“Building houses is a craft that the Cui family has been doing for generations. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. Once a house is built, several generations of people will live in it. If the quality of the house is not up to par, it will ruin the reputation of my old Cui family.”
