Chapter 419: Chapter 420: Hauling a Cart of Blue Bricks

However, they didn’t specify the exact amount of the salary. However, since they had divided their properties, there was no need to be so detailed to avoid stirring up envy among the brothers.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo stopped asking further questions, as, after all, being a worker was certainly better than farming.

The others were happy for the fourth brother, and Zhou Zhaodi even slapped his chest laughing, "Great, you can leave the cooking to us."

Only Li Chunhua felt utterly frustrated in her heart. If she had known earlier, she would not have agreed to the division of the property!

The letter chose to arrive just after they had divided the property, couldn’t it have arrived any sooner or later?

After the little brat was adopted, the fourth branch of the family indeed started to play against her!

The worker’s salary was not small, and there was even a subsidy during holidays, plus, it was a stable job that could be passed onto the next generation!

The fourth brother was not married yet and had no son. If he ended up like the eldest brother, destined to have no son in his life, then this stable job would obviously be passed onto his nephews, not a married daughter!

Thinking so, she felt a little relieved.

Furthermore, she was more than happy to help with the cooking. She could have meat to eat and might even get some extra benefits.

Zhou Zhaodi was much smarter than her. With a quick thought, she guessed that the letter must have been received a while ago.

Otherwise, when the fourth brother’s leg was injured, and he could no longer farm, her in-laws would definitely be worried. However, they had been eating and drinking as usual without any signs of abnormality.

As for why they didn’t reveal it earlier, she knew very well.

They were probably worried that if other branches of the family found out, they wouldn’t be so willing to divide the property. After all, if she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have been so willing to divide the property.

Zhou Zhaodi, however, kept this insight to herself as she envied the fourth brother for adopting such a lucky girl like Guibao.

Despite losing a leg, he saved his life and got a stable job, which was such good luck!

While they were walking, suddenly the noise of a tractor came from ahead.

Chen Jianjun was sitting on the tractor, yelling, "Dad, Mom!"

The tractor stopped right in front of the Chen family. Seeing the whole back of the vehicle loaded with green bricks, everyone was too stunned to believe their eyes.

"Old...Fourth, are you going to build a brick house?" Chen Jiandang stammered in surprise.

They all thought the fourth brother was building an earthen house!

Chen Jianjun nodded and answered, "Yes, and I need to make a few more trips."

Not only did they need to transport bricks, but also cement.

Everyone gasped in surprise, wondering how much all these bricks would cost!

Li Chunhua felt even more frustrated, wishing she hadn’t agreed to the division of the property. So Jinbao and Xiaobao might also live in a brick house!

The other daughters-in-law were also a little envious, as who wouldn’t want to live in a spacious and bright brick house?

Ma Xiulian was completely surprised, as she thought the fourth older brother went to buy tiles.

After a pause, Chen Jianye asked, "Fourth, how much is each of these green bricks?"

Chen Jianjun answered, "Each green brick is 1.2 cents."

Red bricks are a bit cheaper, one cent each.

But he was building a house for his parents and daughter to live in, so naturally, he had to use the best. You get what you pay for.

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped again, feeling a bit of heartache. Calculating this way, it seemed that a house would cost hundreds of yuan just for bricks!

In the countryside, building an earth house, including labor cost, materials and other costs, only cost about one to two hundred yuan in total.

This was not worth it, it was not worth it at all!

So Chen Jianguo, as the eldest brother, kindly advised, "Fourth, you should return the bricks! Otherwise, the money from the division will be spent on the house. How are you going to live in the future? Maybe the amount of money from the division is not even enough to buy the bricks!"
