139. Chapter 139: Li Xiufang Commits Suicide

Li Jinfeng was carried away by the people sent by the Huang family, but the Li family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiufen, who had been crying and making trouble in the room day and night, had no sound now.

Li Old Madam supported her old waist, closed the courtyard gate, and couldn't wait to let her own daughter out.

The others in the family watched and didn't stop her. Even Zhu Shi, who usually loved to watch the fun, was listless now and had no spirit.

A few days ago, there was a heavy rain, and their family was busy harvesting the rice in the fields, almost without closing their eyes all night. The farm work had finally come to an end, and Li Xiufen, who was locked in the room, had been crying and making trouble all day and night, making them unable to rest at all.

Now that Li Jinfeng had been picked up by the Huang family, Li Xiufang could finally give up.

"Ah! No, not good——"

Just as everyone was preparing to rest, Li Old Madam's scream came from the room.

"Daughter, why did you think so short-sightedly, why are you suffering like this..."

Li Old Madam sat beside Li Xiufang, crying with snot and tears, while Li Xiufang was unconscious on the ground, with a broken bowl beside her, holding a piece of broken porcelain in her right hand, and her left wrist was covered in blood.

"Stop howling! Go find Zhou the Physician!" Li Old Man entered the room and saw this scene, his face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly ordered his second son, Li Shoucai, to find the physician.

"Oh, why did it become like this!" Zhu Shi entered the room and saw the blood all over the floor, and was also startled.

Sun Shi looked at the eye-catching red on Li Xiufang's body, her lips moved, but she didn't speak.

She didn't expect that Li Xiufang would make such a big scene, using her own life to force them...

"Xiufen, you must not have anything happen to you, Old Madam, I only have this one daughter..."

Li Old Madam's crying sounded in her ears, and the guilt that Sun Shi originally had disappeared completely.

She reached out and touched her lower abdomen, her eyes gradually becoming cold and hard.

Why pity her? She had also had a child, and it was still kicked away by this pair of cruel mother and daughter.

The news of Li Xiufang committing suicide by cutting her wrists spread through the whole Yuhe Village like the wind, becoming a topic of discussion for everyone after meals.

"Sigh, this Old Li family is committing sins..."

Zhao Dasao was burning the kiln outside the courtyard and couldn't help but feel sighing when discussing this with Jiang Wei.

"Was that person saved?" Liu Dagang, who was hammering bricks on the side, asked with concern.

"I heard that Zhou the Physician came to see her and she's already fine."

"That's good..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding a copy of "Zhenzhou Jiayi Jing" and reading. Hearing this, she couldn't help but say: "Cutting the wrist with broken porcelain, as long as the meridians weren't damaged, it should be fine."

Li Xiufang was, after all, just a sixteen-year-old girl. No matter how impulsive she was, she wouldn't dare to really cut her pulse. At most, she cut the skin and shed some blood, which looked terrifying.

"Sigh, Xiaoxiao, what book are you reading? Why is that book so thick?" Liu Dagang noticed the book Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding, which was bigger than her face, and looked at it with great interest.

"Uh... it's, it's a gift from that Young Master Jiang. I don't know what book it is either, just reading it casually." Jiang Xiaoxiao replied casually.

The books her mother gave her basically didn't exist in this world, and they hadn't even been seen in Yong'an County. It was better to push them all to Jiang Yu. Anyway, the other party came from a big place like the capital, so it was understandable that some books she hadn't seen appeared.

"Oh, so that's it. That Young Master Jiang is really generous..." Liu Dagang looked at the book in Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand with envy.

The cover of the book was gilded, bright and shiny, and it looked expensive at first glance. Even if he didn't recognize the characters on it, he could clearly see that the page Jiang Xiaoxiao opened clearly depicted the meridians of the human body in bright and vivid colors.

He had really never seen such a book. It wasn't a book with black characters on white paper sold in the study, but a book with pictures and characters. The person in the picture was like a real person, and he didn't know what pigment was used to draw it...

"By the way, Dagang, I want to ask you for a favor." Jiang Wei changed the subject, "My family is going to build a house tomorrow. Can you help me find some people to help?"

"Build a house?" Liu Dagang's eyes lit up, and his attention was instantly diverted. He hurriedly said: "Of course, Xiaoxiao's mother, how many people do you want?"

Jiang Wei thought for a moment and said: "At least 30, the more the better."

Her family was building a big house, and she was afraid that there wouldn't be enough people to handle it.

After saying this, she added: "Building a house is no small matter. Dagang, find some people who are diligent and honest. I'll pay 30 wen a day."

"Alright, I'll go find them for you this afternoon!" Liu Dagang patted his chest and agreed.

30 wen a day, this was more than the wage for carrying big bags at the pier in town, and there were plenty of people willing to come.

Jiang Wei was also relieved to hand it over to him.

Liu Dagang knew the people in the village best. He knew clearly who was honest and capable, and who was lazy. She was relieved to hand this matter to him.

In addition, Jiang Wei invited Qiulian Niang to come over and let her and Zhao Dasao help cook for a few days, specifically responsible for the food of these workers.

The next day, Master Zheng the mason brought a convoy and entered Yuhe Village in a grand manner.

Jiang Wei waited at the entrance of the village early and led Master Zheng to her house.

The people in the village heard the movement and came out to watch one after another.

"What happened to the Jiang family again? Why is there a convoy going to her house?"

"I saw Dagang recruiting people in the village to work at the Jiang family yesterday. I heard they are building a house."

"Building a house, oh my, this is incredible!"

"Look at that convoy, it's all blue bricks. How much money does this take?"

"I saw Member Wang building a big mansion in town before, and it took about the same amount of blue bricks. The Jiang family is going to learn from the wealthy families in town and build a blue brick tile house!"

With the discussion of the crowd, the convoy had gradually gone far away.

The crowd hadn't seen enough, so they chased after them to see what was going on.

The workers Liu Dagang invited also arrived early, exactly 30 of them.

When Jiang Wei led the convoy, those 30-something people were obviously shocked by the blue bricks and tiles loaded on the convoy. What a big deal!

Master Zheng jumped off the carriage and followed Jiang Wei to an open space outside the courtyard, choosing the construction address for the house.

"The feng shui here is good, the environment is beautiful, and the terrain is high." Master Zheng followed Jiang Wei to look at the land for a few miles around and was very satisfied.

After choosing the address, the first step was to start laying the foundation.

A circle of people watching the fun surrounded the Jiang family's courtyard. Someone recognized Master Zheng and said with surprise: "Isn't that the most famous mason in the county! I heard that he once built houses specifically for those meritorious noble families in the capital. His technology is first-class, and he even built the palace where the emperor lives!"
