Chapter 39: Why Is the Woman Earning Money Faster Than Me?
Editor: Atlas Studios
When Shi Jinhua arrived at the entrance of his house, he saw groups of people surrounding the house and pointing at him.
"Look, such a tall woman is really rare!"
"That's right! Even if you see it only once in your life, you can brag for the rest of your life."
"She's so strong. Could she be a demon that specializes in eating humans?"
"What? If I give you a human, would you eat it? Look, she's following Madam Scholar and won't leave."
"Why does she only follow Madam Scholar?"
"How would I know? Maybe she thinks that the she's amazing."
Huwa was very powerful, so she was a sharp weapon in Master Xu's hands. She could hit wherever he pointed at.
What was originally planned to be completed in seven days was done in just one day.
It was just that she ate too much. But if she didn't eat so much, she wouldn't have so much strength.
Li Kui followed Huwa around. His mouth was like firecrackers, and he could never finish his sentence.
If Auntie An didn't know her husband well, she would have thought that Li Kui was interested in Huwa.
Qian Sishui was also busy and participated in the construction and design. Although there were design blueprints, some details still required her approval. For example, at this moment, the young lady was holding the toilet blueprint that she had designed.
Qian Sishui would never want to be in the limelight. She simply wanted to be an inconspicuous speck of dust and live quietly.
"Dig." Qian Sishui pointed at the picture and showed it to Huwa. It was a big circle.
Since Huwa understood it, Qian Sishui drew a big circle and pointed at it.
Master Xu thought to himself, 'Is your mouth made of gold? Will it kill you to say a few more words? I'm so tired!'
Huwa waved her shovel and dug a huge pit like a gopher.
Next, it was up to Master Xu's skills. When Master Xu saw Huwa's speed, he calculated yet again whether it was worth it to recruit Huwa.
Then, he arranged for people to enter the huge pit and start building walls. They dug ditches, so that the excrement would flow out once it was full.
The master looked at the huge pit. "I don't think this can be filled under normal circumstances."
One wouldn't even be able to see Huwa if she went in. Did they really need such a huge pit?
"There's no need for a wall at the bottom. Once the excrement comes out, it'll go into the soil as fertilizer. If we dig a ditch and let it flow out to the pit at the foot of the mountain in our backyard, we'll have fertilizer at home."
After thinking for a while, he said, "There are only a few people in your family. I don't think this will work." They wouldn't even make enough!
Qian Sishui didn't really want to discuss this problem.
When Huwa saw Qian Sishui looking annoyed, she picked Master Xu up and placed him ten steps away from her.
Master Xu thought to himself, 'Why do I feel like Huwa's toy?'
"Ah! Look, look!"
"Oh my god! She lifted him up so easily."
"That's right. She's so scary. Who will dare to bully her in the future?"
The onlookers started discussing it amongst themselves.
"Nanny, is that really a human?" Xinyue stood there, not daring to move.
Even Nanny Jiang was shocked. That was Hercules!
When Shi Jinhua saw her, he said, "Nanny, I didn't think it through before. You might not be used to this place." What he meant was, "Hurry up and go back!"
Nanny Jiang was old and willful. "What did you say? You're used to it?" Nanny Jiang looked at Huwa. "Of course you're used to it. This is the first time I'm seeing it. I'm a little shocked. Let's go. This house will be completed in a few days."
Shi Jinhua was rendered speechless.
Fatty Wang skipped past Shi Jinhua happily.
The only thought in the young scholar's mind was to pull his wife away and stay far away from these people. These people were too dangerous. They didn't kill people, but they had brains and bodies that were going to bleed his pockets dry!
Nanny Jiang walked to Huwa's side and waved her withered hand at Huwa. "Wawa, bend down and let me take a look."
Fatty Wang said, "Nanny, she doesn't understand human language. She only knows one word: Huwa."
The nanny looked at Fatty Wang in confusion. "Young Master, are you speaking human language?"
'What the heck!' Fatty Wang choked and bit his own tongue.
'Oh my god, my tongue hurts. If I want to live well, I'd better stay away from Nanny! I'll go look for Master later.'
Shi Jinhua looked at the foundation structures and suddenly remembered, 'What did this damn woman do? Why is she earning money faster than me? Look at this material. Even a layman would know that it's good stuff. What a wasteful woman! It's just a house. Why did she have to make it so good?'
"Hey, Hua, you've picked up a treasure! Sister Qian is really capable! She built the house with just a screen!"
Auntie Wan was envious. It was a pity that she was old and did not have a daughter. Otherwise, she really wanted to kneel down and beg Qian Sishui to accept her daughter as a disciple!
Auntie Wan thought to herself, 'I used to think the same way.'
Li Kui thought to himself, 'Hey, what a coincidence! I was thinking the same thing!'
"How big was the screen?"
Shi Jinhua asked in surprise. It had to be huge!
"It's as tall as you and as wide as you are." She gestured as she spoke.
"You might not know about it, but when the embroidery was done, we all saw it. It was so beautiful! It could even be treated as a family heirloom." She said excitedly, "Let me tell you, that embroidery was very magical. It looks different when viewed from different angles! Don't you think Little Qian is amazing?"
"Wow, that must be straining on the eyes!" Shi Jinhua blurted out.
"That's right! During that period of time, I often saw Little Qian rubbing her eyes."
Auntie Wan was helping the chef cook for the workers. She did not slow down in plucking the vegetables as she spoke.
When Shi Jinhua heard this, he looked at Qian Sishui silently. This wife of his was always so cold. The sun didn't seem to be able to melt her. In fact, it only made her look colder.
At night, when everyone was asleep, Shi Jinhua was copying books to earn money. Now, the government was giving the elementary scholars two taels of silver and ten catties of rice every month. Because he now had the money to pay the deposit to the book bureau, he could bring the books home to copy. He would only stop to rest when it was late at night.
As the Shi family's house slowly took shape, the villagers were envious.
The others were envious, but they could only be envious. They didn't have any other thoughts, but Shi Jiaojiao and some other girls had some thoughts.
Shi Jiaojiao thought to herself, 'You're so rich, yet you don't give me any money. I'm living a tight life after splitting up from my stupid in-laws.'
The girls on the other hand were thinking, 'It would be perfect if we could move too. Wouldn't it be nice if Qian Sishui suddenly died?'
The families with daughter thought, 'Sigh, if we'd known earlier, we would have let our daughter marry him. At the very least, he's an elementary scholar!'
Shi Jinhua was not in the mood to know about any of this because he was holding the three taels of silver he had obtained from copying books.
He thought to himself, 'Why can't I earn money as fast as that woman?'
At this moment, Master Hu happened to pass by and saw Shi Jinhua from afar.
The young scholar was already famous and almost everyone in town knew him.
They couldn't help it. He had come in first place in the examination! He was full of potential!
"Scholar Shi, Scholar Shi." Master Hu waved from afar, as passionate as a lover he had not seen for many years.
When Shi Jinhua turned to look at the source of the voice, he saw that it was Master Hu.
He subconsciously grabbed his wallet tightly and pretended not to hear the older man. He maintained his natural walking posture and left quickly.
Afraid that Master Hu would catch up, his strides became wider and wider.
He couldn't help but feel a nagging feeling that his wallet would grow lighter once he met Master Hu. His instincts told him to escape as soon as he heard the master shouting.
Master Hu was still waving his hand. "Why is this Scholar Shi walking faster and faster? Didn't he hear me call him?"
Shi Jinhua grumbled inwardly, 'No! I heard you!'
"Master, perhaps Scholar Shi has something urgent to attend to and didn't notice you."
To that, the scholar thought, 'No! I noticed you, but I don't want to be noticed by you!'
"I think so. I just wanted to ask if that girl survived."
"She should be alive."
The people around him did not know how to answer this question.
Shi Jinhua grabbed his wallet and speed-walked for a block before stopping. He even turned around to look around. When he did not see anyone, his heart finally relaxed.
