The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 118 Valley Progress

“That’s not the way it sounds. People who bought the land can’t just sit there doing nothing. They can just wait until we have our slack season to work on it.

The Su family has so much mountain land. If we just wait for our villagers to help, it will probably take more than ten or twenty years to finish it. "An auntie said disapprovingly.

"Yes, if your family could leave the mountain land uncultivated and just wait for people from the same village to work on it, wouldn't that be stupid?" Another aunt also echoed.

Seeing that there were some wise people around, Li Fuxiu curled his lips, put the almost washed clothes in the wooden basin, picked them up and left, "Humph, why don't you buy the land? You are all fools."

Everyone... Li Fuxiu is really talkative, but no one wants to argue with her, because she is not talking about herself anyway.

The riverside became quiet again, with only the dull and crackling sound of wooden sticks hitting clothes.

In winter, no one washes clothes at home. When spring comes, everyone gathers at the river to wash clothes.

Li Fuxiu saw that there were so many people around, so he started to instigate.

She was just thinking that her family didn't make any money after the autumn harvest last year, and those who went to work for the Su family last year were unable to go this year. She wanted to sow discord between everyone and the Su family.

This would save her from saying anything about the Su family and having these people help the Su family to refute her.

But she didn't expect these people to be on the side of the Su family, so seeing that she couldn't do anything about it, she stopped talking to everyone.

However, these words still reached the ears of the Su family to some extent.

Su Tang frowned after hearing this.

Li Fuxiu's house is right next to the Su family. It would be great if we could find a way to move this family away.

However, the ancestors of Li Fuxiu's husband's family were all villagers of Dahe Village, so it is not so easy to drive them away. We still need the right opportunity.

With the Qi family army, the work in the valley can be done really quickly.

After more than a month's work, most of the houses in the valley had been built, including the foundation and the first floor.

Su Tang has extremely high requirements for the foundation, so most of the time is spent on chiseling stones and laying the foundation.

In fact, Su Tang really wanted to use explosives to open the mountain, so that it would be faster to remove the stones.

But there was no powerful gunpowder in this era, and Su Tang didn't want to expose these things to the world too early.

As for the use of gunpowder in blasting the mine in Xinze Mountain, it was because the situation was too urgent at the time.

Besides, communication between the northern border and other places is inconvenient, and the only people who saw Su Tang blow up the mine were the miners, except for the Qi family's secret guards.

The secret guards would definitely not reveal it, and the miners were grateful to the Qi family army for rescuing them, so it was impossible for them to say anything to outsiders.

The situation in Dahe Village is different from that on the northern border. Su Tang doesn't dare to gamble whether the villagers will spread the news after hearing the sound of the explosion.

Therefore, let's just do everything according to the practices of this era. At least, there should be no big noise.

"The wooden board between the first and second layers should be made thicker and made into hollow two-layer plywood." Su Tang said to Master Zheng while standing outside the wooden house.

Then lay a layer of carpet on the second floor, so that when people walk on the second floor in the future, it will not make too much noise.

"Okay, but if it's a mezzanine, it will take more effort and time."

Even if Qi's army helps, the detailed carpentry work still has to be done by the people brought by Master Zheng.

Especially some special mortise and tenon structures, only a few people can do it.

Carpentry was a skilled trade in ancient times, and it was a skill that could cost a master his life if he taught his apprentice a lesson. Therefore, people who did not have a master could not learn these skills.

Su Tang didn't say anything about this. After all, she couldn't really let Master Zheng and the others teach Qi's army carpentry.

Su Tang asked Marquis Dingbei to bring these Qi family soldiers, not to ask them to do carpentry work.

"Miss, someone has come down the mountain, and he said he's looking for you and your uncle."

At this time, Sun Yueyun, who stayed in the Su family's old house to work, entered the valley. When she found Su Tang, her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Su Tang smiled and nodded to Master Zheng, and then Master Zheng went back to his own business.

Su Tang followed Sun Yueyun out of the valley, "Who is it?"

Sun Yueyun wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a deep breath before speaking again, "It's said that he's an old friend of yours. He came on a horse. Master Su is talking to him in the house."

Su Tang nodded and looked around the valley.

Qi Lingheng was also working with everyone else. The valley had been almost cleaned up, so Su Tang found Qi Lingheng at a glance.

Su Tang called over the Qi family soldier who was closest to her and said, "Go and call Qi Lingheng."

The man responded simply and then ran towards Qi Lingheng's position.

"They are in such good health." Sun Yueyun said with some envy.

Even though the valley has been almost cleaned up and there are no weeds or rocks that could trip people, most of the place is still mud, and the valley is not completely flat.

But when that person ran, it was as if he was running on flat ground, and he leaped easily between some high slopes without any pause.

"Hehe, men have better physical strength than women. But we women also need to exercise more on weekdays. You see, you don't go up the mountain often, and you're sweating because you walked too fast." Su Tang turned her head to look at Sun Yueyun beside her.

Because she walked up the mountain in a hurry, her face became much redder.

"I'll find someone to take you and the kids at home to do daily exercise."

"Ah? I want to exercise too?" Sun Yueyun asked in surprise.

Although the muscles on men's bodies look good, they only look good on men.

If she could also train her muscles to be that strong, Sun Yueyun trembled when she imagined that scene.

Su Tang didn't know what Sun Yueyun was thinking. Seeing her shaking, she thought she was sweating and got cold in the valley again. She hurriedly said, "You go back first. We'll be back soon."

In fact, Sun Yueyun walked slowly. It was estimated that she and Qi Lingheng would be able to catch up with Sun Yueyun halfway down the mountain in a while.

Sun Yueyun nodded obediently and went down the mountain first.

The road to and from the valley was later repaired again by the Qi family army. Now the road is wide and flat, and not even a large carriage can go up the mountain, so it is safe for Sun Yueyun to go up and down the mountain alone.

"Madam." Qi Lingheng walked over alone. He had washed his hands in the stream in the valley before coming over. He also patted his clothes, so he looked relatively clean.

"Well, someone came to our house and said they were looking for us two."

"Oh, then they are probably here to deliver their household registration." Qi Lingheng nodded and walked beside Su Tang.

From a distance, the two of them looked very well matched standing together.
