Chapter 398 Living in a Big House and Being Hungry

If you add in furniture and the like, it would probably cost 70 guan. With her current financial resources, she could spend 70 to 80 guan to build the yard.

Two hundred guan may not be a big deal to a wealthy family, but for ordinary people like them, if it hadn't happened to be a war, some people would never have been able to earn so much in their lifetime.

Unfortunately, before she could speak, her sleeve was grabbed by Bai Anyan.

Bai Yunxi turned around and saw the confusion in Lao Er's eyes. She stood up and followed him to the side, raising her eyebrows.

"what happened?"

Bai Anyan looked at his mother, then looked back at the ink master sitting in the yard, and whispered,

"Mom, does it cost too much to build this yard? Our family doesn't have that much money.

I thought it would be cost-effective for him to build a house by incorporating the grain from the autumn harvest.

Now that he heard it, he felt that he might not be able to raise enough money for the yard if he worked for another two years.

Bai Yunxi couldn't help but curl her lips after listening to her words.

"Don't worry about this. Mom knows how much it will cost to build a big yard. She will definitely not go back to the days of poverty."

Listening to his mother's tone, Bai Anyan's eyes were full of doubts.

The family only harvested this amount of grain for one season. How could my mother have the confidence to build a big house?

But he didn't dare to ask, for fear that his mother would be angry. Thinking about the food that his mother had locked in the apartment, he still felt unsure.

The thought of his family living in a big house and starving together made him feel anxious.

Listening to the second child's thoughts, Bai Yunxi looked up at him and couldn't help but chuckle,

"Don't worry about this. Mom knows very well. We have already thought carefully about building a yard."

"Today, I asked the master ink master to come over to estimate the materials needed to build the house. I also want to see if we can afford it? Now listen, although the price is slightly higher, it is still within mother's plan."

After saying this, Bai Yunxi patted his arm and turned back.

I consulted with Cui Zhangmo again on the details, so that I could have a picture in my mind.

After the two of them had negotiated, Bai Yunxi turned around and ordered the second child and the fourth child,

"You two go with me to the brick and tile kiln with Master Mo, order the bricks and tiles as soon as possible, and then order all the required wood, and start construction as soon as possible in the current form."

"Yes, mother."

After watching his two sons return to the house to get ready, Bai Yunxi turned to look at Boss Cui.

"I forgot to ask, how long does it take from start to finish?"

Listening to Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Boss Cui made some calculations.

"If we use all our own people, it can be completed within two months."

As soon as Boss Cui finished speaking, Cui Dalang cupped his hands towards Baiyunxi.

"Aunt Bai, don't think too much. My father means that we can take care of our own people so that it is easier to manage and complete the work on time every day. If Aunt Bai also hires helpers, we can't interfere at will in terms of management. The rest is fine. ”

Bai Yunxi glanced at Cui Dalang and chuckled,

"Don't worry about this. Because I am rushing to build the house, I am not going to ask the villagers for help. I will leave it all to the Cui family brother. The only requirement is to complete it as soon as possible while maintaining quality and quantity."

Boss Cui pursed his lips and nodded, with a serious look on his face.

"Building houses is a craft that the Cui family has been doing for generations. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. Once a house is built, several generations of people will live in it. If the quality of the house is not up to par, it will ruin the reputation of my old Cui family."
