After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 140 Moving to a new home

After a busy day, Zeng Hua said to Zhang Quan in the evening: "When I have time, I will find a matchmaker to find a marriage for our Daniu."

"Have you figured it out?" Zhang Quan looked at her.

Zeng Hua sighed, "I always wondered when to tell my elder brother and his wife about this. After all, I really like Xiao He. She is efficient, filial, and good at making money. She is also good-looking. But today, she was able to reject the landlord Chang in the town. How can she be interested in our family? And I also heard from my elder sister-in-law that Xiao He said she would never get married in this life!"

Zhang Quan covered himself with the quilt and said, "I've told you this a long time ago, but you just didn't believe me. I think you should go find a matchmaker tomorrow to arrange a marriage for Daniu. Don't delay any longer."

Zeng Hua hummed.

Jiang Xiaohe had a dreamless night. The next day, when she got up, she felt severe pain in her wrists and arms. She thought it was a sequelae of not doing farm work for a long time.

After breakfast, he followed Wang Qiuxia to the fields again.

After working hard for a few days, I finally brought all the sweet potato vines back home.

The new house is almost done and we will be able to move the furniture in soon.

Jiang Xiaohe paid wages to everyone working on the construction site, taking away almost ten taels of silver.

"This is much more cost-effective than hiring a contractor to repair the house yourself."

"That's right! Your second uncle doesn't have any other skills, but he knows how to repair houses!" Zeng Hua said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaohe gave Zhang Quan two taels of silver alone.

Zhang Quan didn't want it: "I'll just take what I should take!"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled: "Second Uncle, this is what you should take! You care about our house more than we do!"

Zhang Fu also said, "Here you go, just take it!"

He then accepted it and asked with a smile, "When is the date for the move?"

Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia both looked at Jiang Xiaohe.

She just smiled and said, "We'll just have to harvest the sweet potatoes in a few days and then move. Moving is a big deal. Dad and Mom, do you think we need to check the date?"

"Of course I have to. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the temple and have our family's horoscopes calculated."

Zhang Fu nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, the family went out to harvest the sweet potatoes from the field. The two families worked together, and Zhang Fujia's family had harvested all the sweet potatoes in one day.

Then I helped Zhang's family to harvest. His family had more land, so it took a little longer.

During the busy days, Jiang Xiaohe did not forget her mushrooms. After the kang was dry, she lit a fire under the kang and covered the outside of the woodshed with all the straw in the house to keep warm. She fanned some of the straw every day for ventilation, and the whole house was warm. She also watered the mushroom bags more every day, and the mushrooms grew much faster than before.

The market is coming up soon. I can pick some and sell them to Shopkeeper Yu, so that the family will have a stable income.

But she did not forget to continue making the mushroom buns, otherwise how could she increase the quantity?

Therefore, after harvesting the sweet potatoes, while Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia were busy moving, she was busy making more mushroom strains.

While waiting for the mushroom seeds, I also cut down some bamboo to make mushroom bags.

Wang Qiuxia calculated that the moving date was the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. Two or three days before the date, the family started to get busy.

When Jiang Xiaohe took the silver and delivered the mushrooms to the restaurant, she informed Meng Hetang. It happened that she was also ordering a piece of pork in the town, and bought some seasonings, flour and other things, spending several taels of silver.

Wang Qiuxia said it was a bit wasteful, but Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "We have built such a big house, and this is just a one-time treat, so it's worth spending the money!"

Since she said so, Wang Qiuxia naturally couldn't say anything else.

The day before moving, they went to Aunt Hua's house and moved all the furniture into the new house.

When the people who came to help saw the furniture they made, they were all envious and wondered when they would be able to build such a nice house and make such nice furniture.

Wang Qiuxia looked at the two large chests and the dressing table in her room, feeling happy in her heart, but she said, "Your father and I can use the old ones, but you have to spend that money."

Jiang Xiaohe pushed her in front of the dressing table and took out the silver hairpin that he had bought for her from his sleeve.

First, he untied the scarf on her head, then took off her wooden hairpin, and then inserted the silver hairpin into her bun.

When Wang Qiuxia saw it, she immediately stood up and said, "Oh, why are you spending this little money on your mother!" As she said that, she quickly took off the hairpin on her head.

Jiang Xiaohe held her hand and pushed her in front of the dressing table: "Mom, wear it. In the past six months, I have been busy with business and Dad has been busy with farm work. You have taken care of all the big and small things at home, including Chuan'er. You have worked really hard. I bought this specially for you. It didn't cost much. When the family earns more money in the future, I will buy you a gold one!"

Hearing her say this, Wang Qiuxia's eyes instantly turned red.

Patting her hands, she said, "Mom doesn't ask for anything. She just hopes that our family will be well."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded, pointed at herself in the mirror, and asked, "Look, mother, do you like it?"

Wang Qiuxia pursed her lips, smiled and nodded with tears in her eyes: "I like it, I like it."

When they left the house, Zeng Hua looked at the hairpin on her head and immediately joked, "Look, my sister-in-law is so lucky. I really envy her."

Everyone saw the silver hairpin on her head.

Li Cuihong smiled and asked, "Sister Wang, your daughter-in-law bought this for you, right?"

Wang Qiuxia reached out to adjust the hairpin on her head, smiled and nodded: "Xiao He is filial."

Aunt Hua said: "If you ask me, you have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hard work!"

Wang Qiuxia nodded. Who said it wasn’t?

Zhang Fu was watching from a distance, feeling very pleased. He then looked at Jiang Xiaohe who was counting things. To be honest, as a father-in-law, he was extremely satisfied with his daughter-in-law!

We were busy until midnight the night before and then everyone went back.

On the first night living in the new home, Jiang Xiaohe was so satisfied with everything that she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. This was built with her own hands and the money she earned, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Looking at Zhang Chuan next to her, her next goal is to make money, buy a big farm and become a big landlord!

I fell asleep in a daze and had a wonderful dream. I dreamed that I slept on gold and rolled on it several times.

When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed!

As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Aunt Hua and the others had come to help, chatting and laughing in the yard.

Greeted everyone one by one.

At noon, Zhang Fu and his men set up the tables and chairs. People from the village came one after another. Jiang Xiaohe took out the melon seeds she had prepared to entertain everyone.

Everyone sat in the yard and talked about family matters.

It was almost noon when Meng Hetang arrived. What made Jiang Xiaohe speechless was that Chang Wei was following behind him...
