Chapter 68 How can you be so rich!
After Gu Yu clearly expressed that he did not want Mengyao to go up the mountain, no matter how much the village chief struggled along the way, the two of them quickly returned to the Gu family.
The village chief was also startled when he saw the crowd squatting in front of the Gu family’s door.
Although he knew that the Gu family was going to build a house, looking at the scene, how big a house would they build?
Immediately, when the village chief saw that there were still a few women in the crowd carrying iron pots, he sighed in his heart, thinking that these three children from the Gu family were really good at spending money.
Although selling wild boars earned a lot of silver, there would always be a time when it ran out. If they were so extravagant now, he didn’t know what would happen in the future.
Moreover, didn’t Gu Yu say that he wouldn’t let his little wife go hunting in the mountains?
In that case, he would suffer a lot in the future.
The village chief was thinking about these things, but he didn’t show any of them on the surface. Under Gu Yu’s introduction, he said a few words to the foreman and then walked in front, leading the crowd towards the land Gu Yu had bought.
It was precisely because Gu Yu’s current residence was far from the village, otherwise, if the village chief led so many people to appear, they would probably have been surrounded and watched long ago.
Of course, this was also the reason why Gu Yu wanted to build his new home at the foot of the mountain… After all, living in the village, it was impossible to stop others from gossiping. If villagers came to bother him all day, Gu Yu would definitely be depressed.
Then, under the guidance of the village chief, Gu Yu and the foreman also looked at the location of the boundary stones, so as not to overstep when building the house in the future.
“Village Chief, you are busy, you should go back first! I’ll be fine alone from now on.”
“Gou Dan! Are you alright alone? Or I’ll stay with you for a while!”
“It’s okay… Besides, there are no adults at home, I have to get used to this kind of thing!”
Gently refusing the village chief’s good intentions, Gu Yu felt relieved when the village chief sighed and left after hearing Gu Yu’s words, thinking that he had finally sent away the nagging village chief.
Although the village chief had originally wanted to help Gu Yu keep an eye on things, worried that he wouldn’t be able to control the foreman and these people, Gu Yu did not want the village chief to be in the way.
If nothing else, the disapproval that flickered in the village chief’s eyes when he first saw the people brought by the foreman had already been noticed by Gu Yu.
Especially when he saw the cooks, Gu Yu even felt that the village chief was about to say a few words, but he didn’t expect… the village chief could really endure, and he didn’t say anything until he left.
When building houses in the village, they would find a few wives who could cook quickly to help, and they wouldn’t spend that unnecessary money to hire cooks.
However, in the eyes of the villagers, the Gu family was a pitiable family that couldn’t even get enough to eat or wear. Let alone helping, they would probably avoid them.
Even if the Gu family was making money by selling wild boars now, the village women would definitely ask for money when they helped.
In that case, Gu Yu might as well let the foreman arrange it. Although it would be more expensive than hiring people from the village, it would be hassle-free.
Gu Yu wanted the village chief to leave because the housing issue he was about to discuss with the foreman would probably make the village chief directly call him a spendthrift.
“Little brother, I’ve also looked at the land, how big a house do you want to build?”
“Regarding the house, I told you before that I’d leave it to you, and I won’t bother with it. As long as you build two main rooms that can accommodate people, the rest is up to you. As for the perimeter wall, build it on the edge of these two mu of land!”
“What! You want to fence off two mu of land? That will take a lot of bricks and stones! If you really can’t afford it, your family can use adobe bricks for the perimeter wall, which will save a lot of money.”
“It’s okay, I have plenty of money.”
“…”
When the foreman was told that the house could still be built as he pleased, he didn’t feel anything because he had already made preparations. However, when Gu Yu said that he wanted to fence off the entire two mu of land with a perimeter wall, the foreman was truly shocked at this moment!
Although before in the market, when Gu Yu directly handed over the twenty taels of silver as a deposit, the foreman looked incredulous.
Even after he went home and bit the silver with his teeth, he found that it was all real.
However, even if he spent money so readily, the perimeter wall to fence off the entire two mu of land would cost more than ten taels of silver for even the lowest grade bricks and stones.
How can this child from the countryside be so rich!!!
