n70 Aunt Jiang

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

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

n“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.

nLin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

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

n“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.”

nLin Xiaoyue paused.

nAfternoon? She had to teach Liang Chengcai tomorrow…

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

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

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

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

nWhen she got home, Lin Xiaoyue told Liu Shi about the furniture she asked Uncle Sun to make and the house she was going to build.

nLiu Shi listened to her and did not raise any objections.

nThen, Liu Shi started the fire while Lin Xiaoyue cooked. She made braised pork with soy sauce, shredded pork with fish sauce, and sweet and sour cabbage.

nThe family of three had a good meal.

nAfter the meal, Aunt Wang brought Wang Erya to Liu Shi to do embroidery work.

nThis time, Aunt Jiang of the Jiang family and her second daughter, Jiang Xiaohua, came with Aunt Wang.

nAunt Jiang was quite close to Aunt Wang’s family, and her family’s situation was not much different from that of the Lin family.

nBecause 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.

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

nThen, 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.

nUsually, Mr. Jiang would go with Uncle Wang 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.

nAt the moment, it was slack season in farming. When Mrs. Jiang heard that Aunt Wang’s second daughter was learning needlework from Liu Shi, she was interested

nLast 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 Shi.

nLiu Shi usually did not socialize with the villagers. Now that someone took the initiative to socialize, she was happy to help.

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

nWhen Aunt Wang and Aunt Jiang heard that Liu Shi was going to build a house, they were all happy for her, especially Aunt Jiang, whose eyes were filled with envy.

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

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

nLiu Shi blushed a little when she heard that.
