Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 24 - 24 23 New Clothes

?Chapter 24: Chapter 23 New Clothes Chapter 24: Chapter 23 New Clothes Mrs. Chen was shrewd, and she realized that even if her eldest son did not demand payment, Mrs. Hu would still find a way to covertly take it. If that were the case, her second son would not be saving any money, her eldest son would think he was helping his brother, but actually Mrs. Hu would be the one benefiting. She said, “I agree with Second son, even brothers should settle accounts clearly. It is good to help, but the required workers’ wages should still be paid.”

Chen Ming added, “We still have four strings of cash left from selling the land, which should be enough to repair the house. If big brother keeps helping us for free, the younger brother would feel embarrassed asking for help in the future.”

Hearing this, Chen Ye kept silent and brought up the topic of when to start constructing the house. Given the current busy farming season, they needed to plant the corn and sweet potatoes first. With the amount of farmland owned by the eldest brother and the second brother combined, they would only be able to build a new house by the end of May. Considering his home needs to focus on sewing baskets and sewing bags, Chen Ming decided to start the house construction by the end of June. After the house was built, they would have to repair their old straw-roofed house.

Before leaving, Chen Ming gave Chen Ye a piece of blue coarse cloth to make clothes.

Chen Ye, red-faced in agitation, said loudly, “Don’t you think I know the life your family is living? Even though Afu’s illness has improved, you still need to save money to treat Alu’s leg. Why waste money? We’re faring much better, we don’t need a few yards of cloth. Keep it to make new clothes for Alu, his clothes are practically tied on him by now.”

With that said, he helped Mrs. Chen outside, with Chen Afu and Dahu following; Chen Ming saw them off.

Mrs. Hu remained unmoved, she still wanted to get her hands on those few yards of cloth. Even if she didn’t dare to bring it home, she planned to sneak it back to her maternal home and give it to her brothers or nephews as clothing.
