He was really shameless. After being chased away, he actually took away the things he had given him…
Old Fourth Lin’s wife looked worried.
“At that time, I was also angry, so 1 mentioned it to my husband. 1 wanted to find a new place to build a house and then move out of the Lin family.” At this point, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife felt a little regretful.
It was not that she regretted this idea, but that she regretted bringing it up too early.
After all, they didn’t have much spare money. At least, they were still far from building a house.
Besides making the two of them bear the pressure every day, there was not much use for her to mention these things now.
Madam Wang was stunned.
“Then what did your husband say?” She asked.
“He agreed.” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife replied.
Madam Wang looked relieved.
“Then what’s there to consider? Move!”
“Living with those people from the Lin family, it’s foul and uncomfortable all day long.”
Madam Wang looked at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
“And, for the sake of your two children, and…” As he spoke, he looked at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s stomach.
“You and Fourth Uncle Lin are still preparing to have a baby, right?” She asked again.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife blushed.
“Yes.” She replied shyly.
It made Madam Wang laugh.
“Hehe, so what? At your age, you still have a chance. Since Fourth Uncle Lin is good to you, it’s fine if you give birth to a child for him.”
“However, you have to think carefully. With the Lin family’s environment, you and Fourth Uncle Lin can’t keep an eye on them every day. Your child might be bullied!”
When Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife heard this, her expression became solemn.
When it was time for dinner, her sisters-in-law came over. She saw the reactions of her two children.
Also, she had heard those two people speak ill of her two children before.
If the two children continued to stay in the Lin family, they would indeed be bullied.
“Yes, thank you for the advice.” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife replied.
Madam Wang glanced at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
“Look at your expression. Is there any difficulty?” She asked again.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife looked bitter.
“Yes.”
Madam Wang thought for a moment and roughly guessed it.
“In building a house?” She asked.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife nodded again.
“Building a house is not a small matter. The expenses must be quite high. Our family…” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife sighed.
Madam Wang patted Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s shoulder.
“Don’t worry. If you don’t have enough money, you can save it slowly.”
“Since you’re so diligent, the workshop will pay you well. There’s also the income from selling cabbages in the fields. In addition, your husband can earn some money in his spare time. It won’t take long to build a new house.”
“In addition, you can also sell that old house of the Lin family! Sell it to his siblings.”
“They have a lot of people. Even if they don’t buy yours, they will have to expand their courtyard sooner or later.” Madam Wang suggested.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife nodded.
“That’s what 1 told him. If we sell the house, we can at least get some money. When the time comes, we’ll save some more and build a house.”
Madam Wang nodded.
“How big are you planning to build?” She asked Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife curiously.
Old Fourth Lin’s wife blushed slightly.
“A courtyard with seven rooms.”
The two of them had a room, while Da Niu, Er Niu, and the future child each had a room.
There were two rooms left. One was for the kitchen, the other was for the latrine and livestock room, and they could also store some firewood.
Madam Wang calculated in her heart and roughly understood.
“Seven rooms is just right. We can take advantage of the time when we build the house to get it done in one step. This also eliminates the need to expand when the children grow up. That’s right, if there are more rooms, the cost will be higher.”
Old Fourth Lin’s wife was anxious.
“Do you know how much money it will cost?” He asked Madam Wang carefully.
Madam Wang looked at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife and pondered for a moment.
“If you use your own land, it will be cheaper. If it was to buy land to build a house, it would be expensive.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife thought to herself.
“How much money would it cost?” She asked.
They didn’t have much land, and it wasn’t close to the village, so it wasn’t suitable for them to build a house.
If they really wanted to build a house, there was a high chance that they would have to buy land.
Madam Wang looked at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
“12 taels for the building foundation. Of course, that’s if it’s in a good location. If you’re not picky and choose the village entrance or the village end, you might be able to get it with 7 or 8 taels!”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s heart sank.
“What about the cost of building the house?” She asked Madam Wang..
