Chapter 196 Malicious Intent (5)_1
After dinner, everyone was sitting inside talking when Old Scholar Fang brought up the matter of building a new house come spring.
"There’s no rush right now, let’s first find someone to inquire about what can be built and how much silver it will take, wait until we have the specifics, then make a plan," Pei Qin hadn’t yet decided what kind of house to build, and she was a bit short on silver coins at the moment.
"Let’s take it step by step," Old Scholar Fang nodded.
Fang Li immediately made a promise, "The matter of Qinqin and her siblings building a house can be left to me! They are just kids and don’t understand these things, I, as their Uncle, will watch over it for them. When the time comes, I will find skilled workers who are good and guarantee both a fair price and quality work!"
Feng Shouxing also said he could help, mentioning that there were several good workers in Feng Family Estate who could assist when the time came, all of whom he knew personally and who wouldn’t dare to overcharge.
Pei Qin smiled without responding and by almost late afternoon, she said it was time to leave.
Fang Li solicitously went to harness the ox cart to take them home.
"I ate a bit too much, it will be good to walk it off, plus it’s not that far!" Pei Qin declined his offer.
