The Valiant Farmgirl’s Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

194 Chapter 194: One Could Only Get Rich By Working Hard

Uncle Liu understood his wife’s thoughts. The family had spent a lot to buy a courtyard house.

Now, they couldn’t wait to split a single coin into two to spend, but they couldn’t save this money.

Liu Erniu’s face lit up as he turned to his mother.

When he saw his mother glance at his father in displeasure without retorting, his heart bloomed with joy.

At the same time, in Brook Falls Village.

Liu Daniu had just returned to Brook Falls Village, and on the way, he happened to bump into the Wang family’s father and son duo who had just returned from collecting firewood.

As both families were on good terms with the Song family, Wang Dashan and Liu Daniu were thus on good terms with each other.

After greeting each other, they started chatting.

“I heard from Xiaomei that you have already decided on your courtyard house. How’s the situation now?” Wang Dashan asked Liu Daniu with a smile. There was a hint of envy in his tone.

How could he not be envious?

It hadn’t been long since the Song family moved to town, and now, the Liu family had also bought a courtyard house there.

Although the Liu family had been quite well-off in the past, they were able to go to town to buy a courtyard house because of the Song family’s support to a large extent.

Apart from collecting goods in the village, the Liu brothers also went to the countryside every day to collect goods.

The Liu family’s eldest daughter-in-law and youngest daughter had been doing business with Eldest Son Song’s wife in town. Naturally, they earned quite a bit.

“Mm-hmm. We’ve already bought it. We just transferred the deed,” Liu Daniu replied with a smile.

He didn’t want to show off, but the villagers would know about this sooner or later.

Moreover, the Wang family’s Xiaomei had just told him that she wanted to rent a room for the Wang family’s father and son to live in.

In this way, everyone would be living in the same courtyard house in the future.

Of course, he would not mention this matter for the time being.

This was because he had already promised the Wang family’s Xiaomei that she could approach the Liu family to rent a room only when they needed it.

After all, he knew very well why the other party was renting the room.

If Brook Falls Village didn’t flee the drought, it would be fine if the Wang family’s father and son continued to stay in the village.

Otherwise, letting them live in town would only bring trouble to the Wang family’s Xiaomei.

In any case, his wife had already told him about these things.

Now that his wife and Xiaomei had a good relationship with the Wang family’s Xiaomei, he naturally had to stand on Wang Xiaomei’s side and think more for that little girl.

The father and son of the Wang family were stunned. Their eyes were filled with even more envy.

Wang Laoshuan, in particular, looked at Liu Daniu with a fawning expression.

“Amazing, Daniu!”

“Which courtyard house did you buy? Is it big?” Wang Laoshuan quickly asked Liu Daniu.

Wang Dashan frowned when he heard this.

Liu Daniu was only slightly startled before he replied, “The size is okay, but the location isn’t very good. It’s in an illegal construction area.”

“Oh, it’s a little worse than the Song family’s Yong An Lane,” Wang Laoshuan replied.

Both Liu Daniu and Wang Dashan were speechless when they heard that.

Although this was the truth, was it really appropriate to say it out loud?

Wang Dashan was about to pull his father back and ask him to stop talking nonsense.

However, Wang Laoshuan continued, “Then when are you guys moving?” Do you need any firewood?

“Dashan is now sending firewood to town to sell every day. If you guys want, we can give your family priority!”

Wang Dashan was taken aback.

When he saw his father’s expression under the moonlight, the displeasure in his heart instantly disappeared.

Even though he still felt embarrassed by his father’s behavior, his father was thinking of Wang Dashan and the family when he uttered these words.

Liu Daniu was caught by surprise.

“Oh, thank you, Uncle. However, our family doesn’t have much money left. As for the firewood, my father has already told us to go out of town and gather them ourselves. I won’t trouble you.”

They had to spend money on many things when they stayed in town.

Their family was not as extravagant as the Song family, who could afford to buy firewood the moment they entered town.

After things settled down, Liu Daniu would definitely have to go out of town to chop firewood.

Anyway, they had a handcart at home. If he gathered more in one go, it would be enough to last for a long time.

Wang Laoshuan did not pester him and said, “Oh, I see. Alright then! If you can’t handle it, remember to look for my Dashan!”

With that, Liu Daniu didn’t have any more hard feelings against the old man.

“Sure!” He even answered happily.

Wang Dashan was also relieved to see that.

He asked about the details of Liu Daniu’s courtyard house.

Liu Daniu was very talkative and explained how his family procured the house to the father and son.

When they found out that it was Qin Xiaoyao who had helped the Liu family buy the courtyard house, and that the price of the courtyard house had been reduced by 10 taels compared to the original price, the father and son duo were envious.

“It’s indeed thanks to Sister Sanya that my family could successfully buy the courtyard house,” Liu Daniu said with a laugh.

“Hey! I have to go this way. Uncle Wang, Dashan, we’ll chat again next time,” Liu Daniu said when they reached the intersection.

He felt that if he continued to talk, he would really become the one showing off in front of the Wang family’s father and son duo.

However, he felt pretty good when he talked about this matter.

“Alright. We’ll catch up next time!” Wang Dashan responded, and the father and son duo parted ways with Liu Daniu.

After that, the father and son did not speak for a long time.

Wang Laoshuan only spoke after they had walked for a long distance.

“The Liu family is really lucky to be able to cozy up to the Song family.” He sighed.

Wang Dashan glanced at his father.

“That’s because their family is willing to work hard.

“Look at Daniu and Erniu. In the entire village, is there anyone with darker skin than them?”

Ever since the Song family moved out of Brook Falls Village, he had not seen the two brothers rest for even a day.

There were also other members of the Liu family, including Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu.

Ever since the Liu family took over the Song family’s duties of collecting goods in the village, one of the elders took care of external matters while the other took care of internal matters.

The old couple stoically carried the burden of all the work inside and outside the house on their own shoulders.

In addition, although Daniu’s wife and Liu family’s Xiaomei had gone to town, they were not idle.

This was especially so for the youngest daughter of the Liu family. Not only did she set up a stall with her sister-in-law in the morning, but she also weaved straw sandals in the afternoon. In the evening, she still went out with Wang Xiaomei to set up a stall in the night market.

Everyone in the Liu family was working hard, so it would be strange if they didn’t save up any money.

Wang Laoshuan glanced at his son.

“Look at your skin. It’s almost as dark as those two brothers’ skin,” he said. When Wang Laoshuan said this, his tone was filled with heartache.

How could he not feel heartache for his own son?

Wang Dashan was taken aback.

His heart skipped a beat.

“How can I not get tanned when I go into town to sell firewood every day?”

“So what if I’m a little darker? As long as I can earn money, I’m willing to become as dark as charcoal!” Wang Dashan said after a while.

Wang Laoshuan was silent.

He had thought over many things over the past few days, and he had also thought through many things.

If he hadn’t indulged Madam Qian so much and didn’t let her empty out the family’s coffers, their family wouldn’t have ended up in this state.

His son was now selling firewood. Although he earned money every day, it was not easy to earn this money.

The only thing he could do now was to help and support his son.

His son was right. As long as they were diligent, their family’s life would get better sooner or later.

Suddenly, Wang Dashan stopped in his tracks.

Wang Laoshuan noticed that his son had stopped behind him. He stopped and turned around to ask, “What’s wrong?”

“There’s someone in our house,” Wang Dashan said in a low voice.

Wang Laoshuan’s expression changed as he looked toward his own courtyard.

Sure enough, the lights were on in the house behind the fence.
