Chapter 656 Rampage (1)_1
The Wu family’s house was built very spacious. At that time, Wu’s had spent three taels of silver to buy three acres of land for the foundation. One acre of land was used to build the house, while the remaining two acres were entirely enclosed with green bricks, part of which was used as a vegetable garden, and part for raising poultry and livestock. The rest followed Mo Yan’s suggestion, planning to plant some rare fruit trees in the spring of the following year, and the fruit seedlings naturally were also provided by Mo Yan.
To build the house as quickly as possible, Wu’s hired quite a few villagers to help. Combined with the clear and dry autumn weather, despite the house being quite large, it took only a month to complete.
The Wu family of five, after buying some simple furniture, quickly moved out of the Mo Family and into their new home.
The layout of the house was also very straightforward: a total of six main rooms and six side rooms. Wu’s intention was that after Tie Tou and Shitou, the two brothers, got married, if they got along well, the whole family could live together; if they didn’t get along and wanted to divide the household, they could just build a wall down the middle. That way, each brother would get half and there would be no squabbling over bricks and tiles, avoiding becoming a laughingstock to outsiders.
The twelve rooms and the courtyard wall, which was taller than a person, were all made of green bricks. From the outside, it looked square and imposing. Although in size it was only as big as a Mo Family’s small courtyard, and the interior decoration was not as exquisite and elegant as the Mo Family’s, in the entire Liu Yang Village, it was the best house next to the Mo Family’s.
Building such a spacious house with good materials naturally cost a considerable amount of silver. After acquiring some furniture, Wu family’s property had decreased significantly. Fortunately, the family now had a place to live, and their days were only going to get better. Wu’s did not regret spending a good amount of silver and even planned to send Shitou to a school in the city to start his education in the future, seemingly hoping to cultivate a scholar.
