Chapter 265
"It's nothing." Su Eli sharpened the knife. Suddenly, she stopped and glanced at the sharp blade toward the sun.
"Tell me," she said with a smile, "if someone was stabbed when no one was at home, would they first suspect that it was a robber?"
What did she mean by this?! Granny Sun trembled.
Grandma Sun couldn't help but glance at the flying knife and swallowed hard. Could it be that she meant to say...
Granny Sun suddenly looked horrified. She looked at her, and the more she looked at her, the more her legs felt weak.
"Then what... Li Yatou, I suddenly remembered that there is something else at home, so I'll leave first..."
Grandma Sun ran away without saying a word.
After all, Su Eli's expression when she was sharpening the knife just now was so scary that she didn't dare to stay there any longer!
What if she really stabbed him, and no one saw it, so she could deny it, but what if he was destined to die?!
What a bad deal!
Seeing Granny Sun disappear, Su Eli laughed.
This Grandma Sun is just so bold.
"See, you are not needed at all." Su Eli winked, "If you scare her, she will run away."
Wen An was a little helpless, she really could think of any solution.
"It's time to go to town."
"Let's go." Su Eli clapped her hands and stood up, "Don't go too late. I have to arrange for someone to look after the shop these days. After all, we are building a new home."
"We?" Wen An was slightly moved by this word.
"Of course, let's." Su Eli patted Wen An on the shoulder, "Don't worry, before you even think of anything, you'll be living here with me, and I won't leave you alone."
"Am I loyal enough?" Su Eli smiled and moved forward.
Wen An smiled, "That's enough."
However, compared with loyalty, he wanted to hear her say something else more.
Arrived at the shop.
Su Eli arranged what Sang Xinyue and Master Wang had to do, and was ready to go home and start building a house.
"What kind of house is the shopkeeper going to build? If you want paint, you have to go to Hong's house in our town. Their paint is the best in our area. People from other places usually come here to buy it!"
"Paint?" Su Eli initially thought that paint meant whitewashing, but after asking Master Wang carefully, she realized that the paint people here were talking about was something similar to cement in later generations.
Cement is very important when building a house. If poor quality cement is used, problems can easily occur in the house.
"Okay, I'll go take a look later." Su Eli thought to herself, since she wants to build it, she should use the best things from this dynasty to build it. She really can't bear to live in that shabby thatched house. It's cold in winter and hot in summer.
Said, there is no safety guarantee at all.
When they arrived at the Hong family, Su Eli first looked at the bricks. I have to say that the Hong family was very good at making bricks. The large bluestone slabs looked solid.
Soon, Su Eli decided on the bricks to be used with them.
The clerk in the store introduced her enthusiastically, "The girl ordered so many bricks to build a big house. If the bricks are good, the paint must also be good-looking. Why don't you take a look at our paint again?"
Su Eli nodded.
However, she doesn't like Hong's paint very much.
In this day and age, the paint made by the Hong family is already considered the best, but unfortunately it is not up to her standards. It is a little brittle, not that strong, and will easily fall off after a long time.
She thought for a while and said to the guy, "I'd better think about the paint again."
"Okay, miss, please think about it slowly." The guy didn't care at all. Anyway, the towns around here were all using their paint, and he wasn't afraid that the business would run away.
Back in the village, Su Eli left the door open to facilitate the entry and exit of those who came to help with work at her home.
Many people were willing to work with her when they saw the high remuneration she offered. Su Eli was talking to her uncle again, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Food and lodging are included, five hundred coins a month. If there are not enough days, we will calculate it on a daily basis. You will not be short of money." This is the condition Su Eli set.
When they heard this, they were very satisfied. It would take about 400 cash a month to take this kind of hard work in the town. Now that it is so close to home, it will cost 500 cash a month. Of course they are willing!
"Then please trouble uncles and uncles, come over and count the names. It will be convenient for me to calculate when I distribute the money in the future." Su Eli asked people to line up in the yard and remembered their names by herself.
At this moment, Granny Sun's sharp voice came over again, "Li Yatou, Li Yatou!"
Looking at the long queue of people, Mrs. Sun was satisfied and said, "I've finally caught up."
Behind her were Su Daqiang and Su Erzhuang, while Qian was holding on to the crazy Zheng.
"Li Yatou, look, you can't let someone else take over such a good job. Let your two uncles do it. We don't want more. Just give us an extra thirty or fifty cents as much as you give them!"
"
Grandma Sun pointed at her two daughters-in-law again, "As well as them and me, we can cook you something if we stay here. No outsiders need to intervene, and we don't charge you much money!"
Su Eli burst into laughter. How did she have the nerve to say these words and still say "it's okay"?!
And Mrs. Zheng is already going crazy. Why do you still ask her to help? She really doesn't need it if it's a waste of help.
Su Eli smiled at her and said, "Sorry, it's full."
"What? It's full?" Mrs. Sun didn't believe it, "Why is it full for you? Why are you dissatisfied when others come, but it's full when we come?"
"Who told you to come late? It's full when it's full. You can go back." Su Eli made a helpless gesture.
"That's not possible, we are all here! Li Yatou, you have to think carefully. Building a house is a big deal and we can't use outsiders!"
If we don’t use outsiders, why should we use them?
Just giving money and not doing anything?
Su Eli sneered, "You guys, please get out of the way quickly. I have to count the people who are here to work. Your time is not valuable, but other people's time is."
People in the village had heard about what the Su family had done to Su Eli before, and they had a very bad impression of the Su family, especially Granny Sun. They immediately started to help Su Eli and said, "Grandma Sun, you guys
Go back quickly, don't waste your time here."
"That's right, we are all busy here, who has time to listen to you messing around here."
"Let's go, let's go..."
Seeing that she had offended the public, Mrs. Sun took them away unwillingly.
