I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.

Chapter 62 The large brick house turned into a thatched hut again.

Wang Dashan glanced at Wang Yiyi and refused: "We can build a shack, and the house can be built quickly. We dare not trouble the magistrate."

Magistrate Li asked the question casually, and when Wang Dashan refused, he didn't say anything more and left with his men.

After the magistrate left, Li started cursing loudly, not only cursing Wu and Jiang Mantun, but also cursing the Jiang family's ancestors for eighteen generations. The Jiang family members did not dare to say a word.

The village head also organized people to help clean up.

Wang Yiyi discussed with Wang Dashan: "Dad, why don't we just buy a house in town? We can open a tofu shop then."

Wang Dashan chuckled: "We haven't even been in the tofu business for a month yet, how could that little bit of money be enough to buy a house in town?"

Li said from the side, "A house in town costs at least fifty taels, and it's still quite small. Let's rebuild it this time and make it bigger."

Since learning that Jiang Mantun set the fire, Li Shi felt much better. With the money still intact, she was filled with hope again.

Wang Yi was stunned; she hadn't expected houses in town to be so expensive.

She was really poor.

She looked a little dejected: "Then let's build a tiled house this time."

Wang Dashan had the same idea. The fire wasn't big at first, but because it was a thatched hut, it burned very quickly.

Li counted the money in her pocket and waved her hand, "Then let's build a tiled house. That way, when Datou gets married, it will be a respectable affair."

Speaking of this, she slapped her forehead: "I was saying I'd go to the Zhao family today, and look what's happened!" She exclaimed again, "Tofu, Sanya, what are we going to do if we don't deliver the tofu today?"

Wang Yiyi also remembered that she had been so focused on finding the county magistrate today that she had forgotten to deliver the tofu. She immediately set off: "I'll go now."

"You don't even have tofu, how are you going to go?" By the time Li's voice rang out, Wang Yiyi had already disappeared.

She went to Liangping County first. Fortunately, she traveled quickly and didn't take too long. After delivering the tofu, she told them about the price increase.

Sure enough, two companies immediately cancelled their cooperation with her, while the rest thought their tofu tasted good and continued to place orders.

Wang Yi was fairly satisfied with the situation. She had no connections, and the prices had suddenly increased, but business was still pretty good, so she wasn't in a hurry.

After delivering to Shi County, he mentioned that he couldn't deliver goods tomorrow. Everyone looked at him with sympathy, and some even offered to lend them their spare rooms, but Wang Yi refused them all.

She's currently relying on the magistrate's power, and these people are fawning over her. But the day the magistrate changes his attitude, their attitude will only change faster.

Wang Yi bought some food and went home.

When she got home, the ruins had been mostly cleared away, except for a few unfamiliar faces.

As soon as she walked over, Li called her over: "Sanya, this is your sister Zhao and her two brothers. They heard that our house caught fire, so they came to help."

The Zhao family? The family that's engaged to Da Tou.

Wang Yiyi was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the Zhao family to come and help. The two weren't officially engaged yet, so the Zhao family could easily pretend they didn't know anything about it.

Many people offer help when things are going well, but few offer help when things are in trouble. Wang Yiyi's opinion of the Zhao family changed considerably in an instant.

Zhao Hehua nodded shyly to Wang Yi and then went back to her work.

Wang Yi greeted everyone and then joined the others in their work.

Er Ya was clearly extremely satisfied with her sister-in-law, and kept talking to Wang Yiyi and Daya: "Sister Zhao is beautiful and hardworking. Big brother is really lucky."

Her voice wasn't quiet, and when Da Ya saw Zhao Hehua's face turn bright red, she quickly stopped her. If she continued, she would be so embarrassed that she would want to crawl into a hole.

Li didn't really let the Zhao family work for long before sending them to Zhao's house.

For lunch, Li borrowed Zhao's stove and cooked with the grain that Wang Yiyi had bought.

When Wang Yi arrived, he learned that Zhao's brother and sister-in-law were also there, and Li and Wang Dashan were already talking with others.

She didn't know what the two families talked about, but by the afternoon, the two families had already set a wedding date.

By evening, the burned area had been completely cleaned up, and Wang Dashan built a shack next to it.

Wang Dajiang suggested that his family squeeze in, but Wang Dashan refused. He said that his elder brother's house was already too small, and it would be fine for his family to live in a shack.

But Wang Yiyi's magical production of bedding startled his family: "Isn't this ours? I thought it was all burned. Where did this come from?"

The moment Wang Yi opened his eyes, a lie came out of his mouth: "The immortal helped me collect it."

Li believed it on the spot: "No wonder I felt the room was so empty. The immortal is such a kind person."

Although the others found it strange, as Wang Yiyi continued to take out cabinets, tables and chairs from the room, they had to believe that this was truly beyond human capability.

Wang Dashan took out a stone and drew a few strokes on the ground: "Datou is getting married soon, and Ertou will be soon too. Let's make the house bigger this time. The main house will have three large rooms, two rooms on the east and two rooms on the west. The east wing will also have the same layout, and we'll build a kitchen and a mill on the west side."

Li exclaimed in surprise, "How much money would it cost to build all these big brick houses? Do we have enough money?"

Wang Dashan pursed his lips. He hadn't calculated how much it would cost, but it probably wasn't enough.

Er Ya did the math: "Father and Mother, building these houses will require at least ten thousand tiles. At five copper coins per tile, the tiles alone will cost fifty taels of silver. We'll also need to hire people to help, plus the timber, which will probably cost seventy or eighty taels. Our family's money is far from enough."

Wang Yiyi never expected that building a house would be so expensive. She used to think she was doing well earning one or two taels of silver a day, but now it seems she really is penniless, unable to afford to buy or build a house.

Wang Dashan was also taken aback by the price: "We can't skimp on the house, so we'll use adobe and thatch. We'll make some adobe ourselves and buy some from others. We'll cut the thatch ourselves and buy some timber. That should save us a lot."

Er Ya counted on her fingers again: "This will consume a lot of adobe bricks, and most of them will have to be bought. In addition, we will need to buy wood and furniture. I estimate that twenty taels of silver will be enough."

Li clutched the silver in her bosom, feeling a pang of heartache, but gritted her teeth and said, "Twenty taels it is."

The old brick house was turned into a thatched hut again. It would be a lie to say that Wang Yiyi wasn't disappointed, but what could she do? Her family was poor.

The house plan was finalized, and the family discussed some details before finally falling into a deep sleep.

As soon as it was light, the whole family got up.

The first thing Li and Da Ya did was to clean the millstone. The millstone was in the yard and wasn't badly damaged, but it was charred.

Now that they no longer have a house, the family needs even more income, so Li decided to build a stove and continue making tofu.

Wang Yiyi didn't go out either, busy washing and cleaning with her family.

When the millstone was almost finished being brushed, Xie Yu rode over on horseback.
