Tian Yuqiao's new house had already been built. When it came to the upper beam, they only invited the village head and elders, as well as old man Tian over.
After setting off the two firecrackers, the house was completed. He just needed to wait for the time to move out.
Originally, on the day of Shang Liang's arrival, Madame Li and the others from the Old Residence wanted to come over as well. However, because of the elder's and the others' presence, Madame Li didn't dare to come over and add to the chaos.
The reason why Tian Yuqiao had asked the Wang clan to invite Tian Chanzi was because he didn't want his clan to hold any grudges against him. The old house was heartless, but she couldn't overdo it on the surface. It wouldn't make sense if he didn't invite Tian Chanzi to build such a large house.
After getting some daily necessities from the town, Tian Yuqiao still had less than 10 taels of silver left in his hand. She could not help but smile bitterly. That was two hundred bottles of gold medicine in exchange for some silver. Spending it so quickly like running water really hurt her heart.
”Big brother Xiao'er, do you think I still have less than 10 taels of silver in my possession? Are we enough to build a wall?” Tian Yuqiao frowned as he counted the remaining silver taels in his pocket.
Yuan Ji caressed the little baldy and said, ”That would depend on how big the building is. If it's not high and not too big, then it's definitely enough.”
”Well then, let's go to the old one and buy some green bricks so we can put them on the wall. I'm not used to being seen outside doing what I do at home. It feels so unprivate. ” Tian Yuqiao frowned.
”Privacy? Elder sister, what do you mean by private? ” Yuan Tong asked with a curious expression.
Tian Yu Qiao was speechless. In her anxiety, she had actually said the wrong thing. However, he still had to explain this question to this little fellow. Otherwise, he would be digging deeper into the matter. This little fellow definitely had the potential to become a monk of the Tang Dynasty.
”Privacy is a secret, do you understand? ”For example, the incident where you and big brother Qian'Er stole some meat …”
”Shh, I understand big sister Qiao'er. You don't need to explain anymore.” Yuan Tong said somewhat vexedly.
Why did he have to look for the root of the problem? This time, his sister told him her secret.
However, when he thought of how his secret had been discovered by others, the little fellow couldn't help but be happy. Thus, the little fellow clapped his hands in approval and quickly built a wall, definitely not allowing others to see his' privacy '.
When the green bricks were all ordered, coincidentally, there was a family that had bought them but didn't intend to build them again. The kiln had some stock, so Boss Zhang directly ordered his assistant to bring the green bricks back for Tian Yuqiao.
While there were still a few people left in the house, Tian Yuqiao continued to ask them to stay behind to help build the wall. The construction of the wall was not all that skillful, so the price was still based on twenty coins a day.
A green brick wall about two meters tall, forty meters wide, and a hundred meters long was quickly built.
On top of the wall, Tian Yuqiao had people use broken tiles to stand on top of it and embed it onto the wall. If someone wanted to climb up the wall, then they would be in trouble.
Such a high wall not only prevented people from peeking out, but it also prevented the wild beasts on the mountain. After all, they were at the foot of the mountain. In the winter, there was no guarantee that the starving carnivores would not come to the village.
Although such things did not happen often, they would happen occasionally. Therefore, Tian Yuqiao wanted to prevent any unforeseen events from occurring.
