Chapter 179 Private Lesson of Grandma Hu

Grandpa Hu decided to build houses on both plots of land, and a new problem arose -

Who will build the house on that piece of residential land on the other side of the river?

Seeing that her two sons were silent and Hu Qiongfang was also silent, Grandma Hu could not help but take a deep breath and slammed the table hard.

"We are all family, why are you pretending to be so generous?"

"One or two of them, none of them can learn anything from studying. The bad habits of scholars are learned very quickly."

"Jianguo, tell me! What are your plans for this piece of land?"

Grandma Hu was like a teacher who randomly called out students' names in class and directly called out Uncle Hu's name.

Hu Jianguo secretly thought it was bad luck. This was the bad thing about being the eldest brother. He had to give way to his younger brothers and sisters when things were good, but he had to stand in the way when things were bad.

Scratching the back of his head, Hu Jianguo said innocently:

"Nanqiao Village is close to the provincial road. In my opinion, if we want to do business near the provincial road in the future, we might as well move to Nanqiao Village."

"The land on the other side of the river is not small. We can build four courtyards there. We can divide it into two parts. Then Fangfang can live with us in the future."

Uncle Hu's words really touched my parents' hearts.

There is a shortage of housing land in Yangshuling Village, so it is impossible to allocate a piece of housing land to Hu Qiongfang, a married woman. Therefore, when Hu Qiongfang brought her children back to her parents' home, she could only live in the same house with her grandmother Hu and her husband.

Now that there is an opportunity to build several houses together, Grandma Hu certainly hopes that her daughter can live next to them in the future.

After Uncle Hu finished his speech, Grandma Hu called Uncle Hu's name and asked him if he had any ideas.

Hu Jianjun actually has some ideas.

"In my opinion, we should separate our houses and build several independent small courtyards with some distance between them."

"We live in Nanqiao Village. We are outsiders after all. We don't want to be too conspicuous. If we build a row of big houses, how will it stand out to the villagers?"

"It's better to build them separately. First, build a few small courtyards and leave some open space in the back. Once we have established a firm foothold in Nanqiao Village and become familiar with the villagers, we can slowly build the houses in the back. This way, we won't be too conspicuous and won't attract jealousy."

Grandma Hu nodded and turned to look at her youngest daughter.

Hu Qiongfang thought about it and made a suggestion -

"Let's build the factory first, and when the factory starts hiring, we can build the house on the other side of the river."

Uncle Hu was stunned for a moment: "Is there anything special about this? Isn't it just building a house?"

The second uncle rolled his eyes and quickly figured out the difference. He explained to the eldest brother in a low voice:

"Let's build the factory first. When the time comes, our factory will recruit people from Nanqiao Village. Brother, think about it. If the villagers want to work in our factory, they won't mess up when we build the house, even if they can't help us."

"If there is any gossip in the village, we don't need to say anything, there will naturally be smart people who will speak for us."

Hu Jianguo suddenly realized.

Thinking about it this way, when he was growing crops in the village before, the villagers were only polite to him.

But since their family moved to the provincial road to do business, Grandma Hu also opened a workshop. Every time she returned to the village, relatives and friends in the village were particularly enthusiastic towards her.

He thought that it was because he started a business and dressed fashionably that the villagers were so enthusiastic about him. But he didn't expect that it was because of this reason?

They all want to come to our house to work?

For the first time, Uncle Hu, a blockhead, truly understood the complexity of human nature.

The three children were not stupid. Grandma Hu was very satisfied. She knocked on the table and began to assign tasks to them.

"Fangfang has to look after the store and can't leave usually. You should be in charge of the accounts. You should keep a separate account book for all the expenses of building the house. For any expenses, you should make an invoice and go to Fangfang and collect the money from her."

"Jianguo, you just need to work harder and build our factory first. After the factory is built, go to the other side of the river to build a house. Don't be too stingy with money. No matter whether it is a factory or our house in Nanqiao Village, we will live in it for at least a few decades. It is better to spend more money and build a better house."

"Jianjun is still in charge of purchasing. If you need anything to build the house, ask your elder brother to make a list for you first, and then ask your sister to pay for the purchases. Remember to report to your sister when you get back."

"While our family members are here, I'll also speak out. Whether it's building a factory or a house, it's a big deal for our family. I know you're all good kids, but if the accounts aren't clear for such a big deal, and you guys push the responsibility on me and I push the responsibility on you, then it won't be a big deal if things don't get done well, but it will ruin the relationship between you brothers and sisters, which is not worth it!"

"It's a good thing that you three siblings have a good relationship, but you can't just take advantage of your good relationship and act recklessly. The relationship between siblings can't stand being worn away by even the slightest thing."

"All three of you should be careful. When it comes to important matters, don't use your brother-sister relationship to mess around!"

"If anyone dares to break the rules and make our house a mess, neither I nor I will forgive him!"

The three siblings looked at each other, and they all felt that their mother was making a big deal out of nothing.

Only Jiang Tian wanted to take out her notebook and write down every word that Grandma Hu said today, as a family heirloom. When she has children in the future and they grow up, she will also educate them according to Grandma Hu's method.

Brothers should settle accounts clearly. This is the best guarantee for keeping the relationship between brothers and sisters intact.

How many brothers and sisters who once had a very good relationship turned into enemies just because they did business together. Today you suspect that I took kickbacks when purchasing, and tomorrow I suspect that you cooked the accounts in the store.

When doing business with her grandmother's family, Jiang Tian's biggest worry was not that she would not make money, but that people's hearts would change after she made money. In the end, because of business matters, everyone would become unhappy and relatives would become enemies.

Thinking about it this way, grandma was wise after all. She laid out the matter in advance, sorted out the accounts and purchasing, and everyone took on their own work, so there was less wrangling.

However, what Jiang Tian didn't expect was that she was also involved in this.

Grandma Hu also assigned a job to her granddaughter, asking her to find someone to set up the shop decoration of the bus station, and try to open the shop and put the goods on display before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Jiang Tian agreed immediately.

The shop at the bus station was originally bought in her name. Since she, the landlord, doesn't even take care of it, why should she trouble her uncles?

Besides, she has her own helpers.

After the meeting at Grandma Hu's place, Jiang Tian called Han Jisong over.
