After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 301 Northwest

Xia Wanniang was still listening to Lai Fu's translation when she saw Xiao Chiye and Fang Zhan coming out together.

Xiao Chiye looked at Zhou Si and said, "You came to work at 2:45 today, saying that you overslept. At 1:45 you said you felt uncomfortable in your stomach and wanted to go to the toilet. You were gone for 2:45. At noon you said you didn't have energy because you didn't have breakfast, so you wanted to go eat lunch first."

He paused and looked at Thursday's expression. "In the end, you didn't show up until the end of the month. You said you accidentally fell asleep, and then you left for an hour on the pretext of having a stomachache. I was being merciful by only giving you part of it."

Zhou Si was so drunk that he broke out in a cold sweat. How could he know so much? He shouldn't have been there at that time.

Xiao Chiye looked at him: "This is just for today, do you want me to continue?"

Thursday swallowed and didn't dare to look at him.

Xiao Chiye looked at the people who came to work and said, "If you really have something to do, my Xiao family is not ruthless. But if you are lazy and slack off like Zhou Si, my Xiao family will not be a sucker. No one's money comes from the wind."

After he said that, he looked at Zhou Si and said, "You don't have to come tomorrow. Our family can't afford someone like you." As he said that, he looked at a few of the people who also liked to be lazy and slack off.

The people being stared at didn't dare to say a word, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Xia Wanniang saw Zhou Si took the money and ran away in shame: "Husband, how did you know?"

Xiao Chiye turned his head and looked at her: "Lai Fu reminded me, so I observed these people carefully."

Xia Wanniang touched Lai Fu's little head and said, "I'll give you some roast chicken when we get back. How can chicken legs express my contribution to you?"

Lai Fu rolled happily in her arms, his fox eyes narrowed into slits.

Xiao Chiye saw that everyone had left: "I'll take you inside to have a look. The house should be finished in less than half a month."

Xia Wanniang was a little surprised: "So fast?"

Xiao Chiye smiled and took her hand: "It's mainly because there are so many people. Everyone who comes to help will do odd jobs during the slack season. They all know how to build houses and do masonry work here, so the movement is fast."

Xia Wanniang followed him into the gate, which had not been locked yet. Their family did not like the Jiangnan style, so there were no short shrubs in the yard.

Instead, the tall trees on the original ground were retained and the open space was paved with bluestone slabs, making the entire yard neat and elegant.

The two of them walked onto the bluestone slabs and looked at the corridor next to them. These wood, bricks and tiles were all exchanged by her from the space, although she had emptied a lot of things in the space to exchange them.

But he was still very satisfied with the results, and he couldn't let go of the materials when he saw them at the housing exhibition. He even asked Xiao Chiye where he bought them from.

Xiao Chiye could only say vaguely that this batch of wood was specially ordered and would not be available in the future.

The housing exhibition is so regrettable.

However, Xiao Chiye still promised to send him good wood in the future, and he felt much better.

Xia Wanniang prepared a yard for everyone in the family, and even prepared many extra yards.

As for what plants to plant in each yard, she decided to let them choose for themselves.

Xiao Chiye pulled her through the front yard. The courtyard in the middle was a large martial arts training ground. “What are you going to do with the Zhang family’s shops? They’ve been closed for a month now.”

Xia Wanniang was also having a headache: "I plan to sell the Yixiu Pavilion next door. I don't have that many people right now, and there are still a lot of things to arrange in advance, so I'm a little short of manpower."

Xiao Chiye: "Mr. Qiu's gambling house and brothel should be finished. You have to find a way to prepare the things, otherwise it will be inconvenient for him to come and pick them up when the time comes."

Xia Wanniang was about to start preparing for what would happen after the autumn harvest, and her children's birthdays were coming up. "My husband, if you were to re-enter the military camp, where would you most likely go?"

Xiao Chiye said without thinking: "The northwest, that place was previously guarded by the Xiao family army. The area is vast and sparsely populated, and the weather is bad. If he lets me go back, then the most likely place to go is the northwest."

Xia Wanniang lowered her head and thought for a moment: "After the house is built, let Master Fang help me build a warehouse and a workshop first. The sooner the better."

Xiao Chiye looked at her strangely and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
