Chapter 316: Recruiting more people to repair the city wall?
Zhao Qihua was so angry that she threw a cup at home.
Faced with his wife whose temper became increasingly unstable after pregnancy, Feng Hanbai looked at her bulging belly and opened his mouth.
Finally, he spoke out loud.
"Don't lose your temper. There's always a solution to every problem. Be careful of the baby in your belly!"
"Child, child! You only know what I'm talking about, child! Don't you think about it? I only have my parents and brothers left at home. The last time they built the city wall, it almost cost my father his life. And now we have to build it again after just a few months!"
Feng Hanbai sighed helplessly, feeling that Zhao Qihua's temper was unreasonable.
This is the north, and barbarians may come to plunder at any time, so building city walls is a must!
In the north, building city walls is not only for oneself, but also for the millions of people in Dayu. Moreover, if one does not want to do the hard labor, one can simply pay to avoid the labor.
During this period, he gave the Zhao family a lot of money and supplies. The Zhao family still had enough money to exempt one forced laborer, so why did Qihua get so angry?
Now she is in the late stage of pregnancy, and such big mood swings are not good for her or the baby.
I didn't expect that the baby in my belly suddenly moved violently.
“Ouch, ouch, that hurts!”
Feng Hanbai quickly helped the man lie down on the bed.
"Qihua, take a deep breath, inhale~~~~exhale~~~~"
Looking at the baby's little feet on her belly, Feng Hanbai gently comforted the baby in her belly.
"Be good, baby, don't kick. Your mother is not feeling well!"
The gentle words were like a spring breeze, soothing the anxiety of the baby in her belly.
Seeing that the fetal movement was not so obvious, Zhao Qihua said with some complaints,
"This child still kisses you, look, he still has you!"
When Feng Hanbai heard this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said proudly,
"Of course, my baby will definitely kiss me. My baby is the smartest. He listens to me even in my belly. He is such a smart and cute child~"
Talking about his own children, Feng Hanbai talked incessantly and was very happy. He didn't notice the sadness in Zhao Qihua's eyes at all.
If Feng Hanyue were here, or if the second branch of the Feng family spent more time with Feng Hanyue, they would definitely find out that Zhao Qihua was suffering from prenatal anxiety.
Unfortunately, Feng Hanyue was not here and did not have much contact with Zhao Qihua from the second house.
The news of this construction work soon spread to all the villages under the jurisdiction of Mo County. The reason was simple: a lot of people were recruited this time.
Everyone had the same reaction as Zhao Qihua, and was worried about having to do hard labor again. Some families with large families even had fierce quarrels.
Especially the few families who just came last year, after the setback they experienced last winter, they really don’t want to go again.
If you don't go, it means you have to pay.
He counted the money at home and kept shaking his head.
They were already criminals, and it was self-evident why they came to such a bitter and cold place.
Soon everyone took action...
Feng Hanyue naturally had no worries about these. She had a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in her space. She had already given the money that her family was supposed to pay to Uncle Fu. When the time came, people could just pay directly.
Uncle Fu looked at the silver in his hand and asked respectfully,
"Madam, do you need help on behalf of your two brothers?"
Thinking of Feng Hansong and Feng Hanbai, Feng Hanyue shook her head.
"No need, Uncle Fu, they just need to take care of their own affairs."
Thinking of the news he had heard in the past two days and hearing Feng Hanyue's words, Uncle Fu bowed respectfully and retreated.
Recruiting so many people at once is unavoidable, and there will be a lot of operations involved. Those who are smart should have thought of a solution.
Feng Hanyue didn't expect that just after she told Uncle Fu not to worry about her two brothers' family affairs, her two brothers came to visit her in the evening, and with them came her adoptive father Feng Qingshan.
Those who come are guests.
Feng Hanyue asked Nanny Zhao to cook a few more dishes. When Nanny Zhao saw Feng Qingshan, she went down to work without saying a word.
This time, everyone remained calm, and Feng Hanbai broke the silence only after the meal.
"Yueyue, father came to Kaoshan Village this time and said he had something to discuss with the three of us siblings. Aunt Shen went to the Gu family, Qihua is about to give birth, and my eldest sister-in-law just found out she's pregnant today. I discussed it with my eldest brother and came to you. I hope you don't mind."
Hearing that her sister-in-law Xu Ximeng was pregnant, Feng Hanyue looked at Feng Hansong in surprise and asked,
"Brother, really?"
Feng Hansong nodded slightly.
"Yeah, I just found out today. I was thinking of telling you tomorrow."
"That's great, congratulations, brother."
