My mother is getting married, Xiao Wei is so handsome

Chapter 19 Building a House

"What? A small business?" Brother Wei stood up excitedly. "That's speculation and profiteering. You could go to jail!"

Seeing the horrified faces of the Wei family, with even Wang Chenan looking at her in bewilderment, Wei Shuqing quickly explained, "I'm not asking you to start a business right now, so why are you worried? Go back and farm well, plant more vegetables, and prepare some pickled vegetables and sweet potatoes. I'll buy them from you at the market price, and you can keep some for yourself. As for doing business, when you have the opportunity in a few years, you can come to the city to sell some small items, and transfer the children's household registration here so they can go to school in the city."

Brother Wei and his younger brother, who had not received much education, looked at each other in bewilderment. They believed their younger sister, but what her younger sister said today was too shocking.

It was Wei's father who believed in his daughter unconditionally. Except for the fact that she was foolish about marrying the King of Qi, his daughter was very independent in other matters.

He scolded his two sons, "Rice coupons are becoming increasingly scarce. Even an old farmer like me can see that a famine is coming. Your little sister is right. Go back and work hard. Reclaim some land and plant some vegetables, grain, sweet potatoes, and other crops. Your mother and I will give you money to buy them. Just listen to your sister. How can she harm you?!"

Only then did Brother Wei, Sister-in-law Wei and Brother Wei quickly pack up their things and take their three children back home.

Although Wang Chenan also felt that Wei Shuqing's words were somewhat shocking, he chose to trust his wife unconditionally. After returning to the house, he played with Niuniu and Niuniu while asking, "Wife, should we also store some food?"

Wei Shuqing nodded. Although food would be tight in the next few days, their whole family had jobs, so they would not have to starve. However, they still had to eat at home during holidays, the New Year, and other festivals, so it was necessary to stock up on some food.

In addition, she had another idea: "Chen An, since the main house and the annex here are ours, why don't we build a yard, and then build a toilet and bathroom. Wouldn't that be convenient?"

Sharing a toilet with people in the yard is a bit cold at night and also a bit inconvenient.

In fact, Wang Chenan had these ideas a long time ago, but he had never married and his children were young, so it was just him and his mother, and he always felt that it was unnecessary.

The two hit it off immediately, and the next day Aunt Wang went to find the construction team.

The Wang family has a total of four main rooms and one ear room. Old Mrs. Wang lives in the east room with Niu Niu and Niu Niu. The middle room is the living room, and the other room is divided into a spacious kitchen and dining room. The westernmost room is the room of Wang Chenan and Wei Shuqing.

Wei Shuqing thought more long-term: "The two children are about to grow up. Since we are going to build a toilet, why not move the kitchen out as well and separate it into a large kitchen room. In the future, one room will be for Niuniu and one for Niuniu. Now that the children are young, we can use it as a guest room first, so Chenchen and the others will have a place to stay when they come back."

Hearing this, Wang Chenan nodded repeatedly: "Wife, what you said makes sense, let's do as you say."

He was a nerd, obsessed with medicine, and not very proficient in these things in life. He admired Wei Shuqing's life wisdom very much.

The construction team that Old Lady Wang hired was very efficient and the house was completed in just one month.

Now the Wang family has become a separate house in the compound. The yard is square. In addition to the original main house and ear room, there is also a toilet at the door and a small kitchen and dining room facing the ear room.

The kitchen in the main house was moved out and repainted to make two rooms. The inner one was for Niu Niu, and the brighter outer one was for Niu Niu. Both rooms were equipped with a bed, desk and wardrobe.

Wei Shuqing also asked the workers to build a small shed in the yard, which was just enough to store her and Wang Chenan's bicycles, so that they didn't have to move them when it rained or snowed.

Aunt Wang looked at the newly tidy yard and nodded repeatedly, "Xiao Wei, you are the one who has the best ideas. From now on, I won't have to worry about my winter vegetables being stolen."

Wang Chenan moved all the winter vegetables he had stored into the carport and stacked them neatly: "My two children have grown up and have their own rooms now. I really married a good wife."

Although Wei's father and mother lived in the side room of the Qi family, they insisted on not eating with the Wang family.

They held their daughter's hand and said earnestly, "We are already very sorry to be staying at your husband's house. If we continue to eat and drink for free, we will really lose face. No matter how good the in-laws are, there must be a limit. If we continue to share the house with them, it will be bad."

Wei Shuqing's character of being sensible and having a bottom line mostly comes from the teachings of her father and mother.

The old couple knew that the money they earned had to be saved for their second son to marry and their eldest son to raise children. On the contrary, their youngest daughter, Wei Shuqing, earned more and her husband's family was well-respected, so she didn't need any subsidies.

Since this was the case, they couldn't take advantage of Wei Shuqing's husband's family. They helped take care of the children and sweep the yard, for fear that it would make things difficult for their own daughters.

Wei Shuqing was also aware of her parents' concerns, and she did not force the old couple. She just made something fresh and rich at home and brought it to her parents.

Whenever my parents made something delicious, they would call me, Wang Chenan, and Old Lady Wang over for dinner.

The whole family lived in harmony and happiness. Even Wang Chenchen sighed: "My sister-in-law and her family are very sensible. My sister-in-law knows how to manage life. My eldest brother is really blessed."

The peaceful life was soon broken by the arrival of an old lady.

One morning, the old lady was wearing a patched cotton jacket and holding a little boy's hand. Although she was old, her face looked a little mean and cunning.

She came uninvited and sat directly on the main seat in the Wang family's main hall: "Wang Chenan, Wang Chenan, why don't you come out to see your mother-in-law?!"

Wei Shuqing and her husband were woken up from their sleep.

She was confused. Wasn't Wang Chenan's mother-in-law her own mother?

But my own mother is sleeping in the ear room...

No, Wei Shuqing suddenly remembered that Wang Chenan had a daughter-in-law who died in childbirth, and the old lady who was shouting outside should be the mother of that poor woman.

Hearing the commotion outside, Wang Chenan's face suddenly turned ugly. While putting on his clothes, he explained to Wei Shuqing, "This is my late ex-wife's mother, an old lady who only cares about her sons and not her daughters. In order to marry my ex-wife's younger brother, they asked my ex-wife for money. My ex-wife refused to give it, so her family beat my ex-wife. She died in childbirth and Niuniu almost died."

He said almost gritting his teeth that this old lady even called herself his mother-in-law, and that her whole family were the enemies who killed his ex-wife!
