NovelEnglishChapter 67: New House Completed
However, Xu Qing didn’t want to let this matter rest. After all, if she didn’t introduce work to the Xu family, she would be unfilial. She shouted at the Xu family, “It’s not that I don’t want to give Second Uncle’s family carpentry, but Mr. Bei Shu took a fancy to Chen Shanxing and his son’s craftsmanship and character, so he asked me to be the middleman.”
Everyone understood when they heard that. After all, Xu Jiangnan’s culinary skills were ordinary, and his character was bad. He was famous for cutting corners.
Old Master Xu put his hands behind his back and was so angry that he almost couldn’t stand still. Now that Xu Qing had said everything, there was no way to suppress her with filial piety. Xu Qing was becoming more and more uncontrollable. In the past, she was clearly submissive, but now, she was actually so smart and capable.
After the Xu family returned, there was another commotion, but this had nothing to do with Xu Qing. She didn’t watch the commotion.
“Little Qing, it’s my fault. I let it slip…” Li Helan’s mother, Li Bixia, said with an uneasy expression.
“Grandma Li, it’s not your fault. They would have found out sooner or later,” Xu Qing said calmly.
“Thank you so much. Little Qing, if you have time, help us thank Mr. Bei Shu. It’s my family’s fortune that he took a fancy to my husband and son’s carpentry skills.” It wasn’t that Li Bixia didn’t want to go personally, but she couldn’t see him at all.

Bai Zhuo had been very busy recently. When he saw how relaxed Xu Qing was, he was instantly displeased. Who was he building the house for? He had never seen such an idle employer.
“I believe in Uncle Bai.” Xu Qing smiled.
Bai Zhuo ignored her. If not for the fact that he was interested in the structure of this house, he definitely wouldn’t have done this. He was quite famous in the construction world.
“Uncle Bai, how long will it take to be built?” Xu Qing asked.
“About half a month.” Bai Zhuo calculated the time. He had been building for more than a month now, so it was about time.
“Alright, when you’re done building it, you will definitely be rewarded heavily.” Xu Qing smiled.
“At least you have a conscience.” Bai Zhuo snorted and turned to call for people to continue working.
Xu Qing smiled and went to get the things Li Helan and Wu Xiao’an had recently made. Then, she went to town with Xu Sizhi. Since the house wasn’t ready, she wouldn’t come back that often. After all, the children were in town, and there were shops in town. Although she had found a manager for the shop, Xu Qing was still worried since mastermind had not appeared.
Moreover, she still planned to continue opening more shops. Of course, she had to prepare early.
For a period of time after that, Xu Sizhi was always missing. Xu Qing didn’t ask further. She was waiting for the surprise he would give her.
Half a month passed quickly. Bai Zhuo finally sent someone to tell her that the house was built. Xu Qing was very happy. She wished she could go back and start living in the new house immediately.
Xu Jiangxi couldn’t walk yet, but his complexion looked much better. Qu Feng also looked much better. She had not gone out to bask in the sun recently, so the two of them couldn’t tell that she was a farmer who often farmed.
Xu Huai and Xu Zhi were still tanned, but they had become much stronger. This was also the result of training with Xu Sizhi.
Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui, who was beside the three children, and felt a little uneasy. She had been very busy recently and couldn’t even take care of the children, let alone Qiao Yanhui.
However, Xu Qing realized that it was the right choice to leave Qiao Yanhui with the children. The three children didn’t make a fuss and played with Qiao Yanhui.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis made Xu Qing feel a little jealous. She wasn’t even this close to the children.
Qiao Yanhui was looking at Xu Qing aggrievedly, his eyes filled with accusation. Xu Qing touched her nose awkwardly and hurriedly looked at Qu Feng. “Mother, the house has been built. Let’s pack up and go home now.”
Chen Qiulian and Xu Jiangxi were shocked. “What house?”
“Didn’t I say that I’m in a business partnership with someone? After I earned the money, I used it to build a house.” Xu Qing smiled. Of course, she also bought a lot of herbs in between and didn’t earn much in the beginning.
“So we won’t wander on the streets when we go back?” Qu Feng said in disbelief.
Xu Qing nodded.
Xu Jiangxi looked at Xu Qing guiltily. These things should have been his concern, but now, they had become Xu Qing’s burden.
Xu Qing walked to Xu Xiang, who was playing with the three children, and said, “Xiang Xiang, are you happy? We’ll have a new home soon.” ????????????????e????????. ????????????
Xu Xiang looked up. “Yes.”
“How obedient.” Xu Qing touched Xu Xiang’s head and looked at her three children. She had rarely spent time with the children recently, but she would make time in the future.
