Lai Jin Hai's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "Not hard at all."
Li Shi became happy. In any case, her son-in-law had work to do, and Cui Hua would have a better life, wouldn't she?
Lu Erbai had preliminary candidates for his renovation team, which now included himself, Zheng Gong, Liang Wangsheng, and Lai Jin Hai.
Tomorrow, they could go and renovate Lu Sanzhu's house. It wasn't a big house, and there weren't many places to fix, so four people were enough.
In addition, Lu Erbai also needed to find a shop.
After renting the shop, they would also need to renovate it and set up some sample displays.
At this moment, they had quite a lot of things to do, and there would be plenty of busy days ahead.
After dinner, the family rested. Everyone was tired after a day's work, and they didn't have the energy to stay up late and chat.
However, Cui Hua and Lai Jin Hai came out of their room again after a while. They found Lu Dasong and Li Shi, and also called Lan Hua and Er Niu to join them for a talk.
Everyone had puzzled looks, wondering what they were discussing at such a late hour.
Cui Hua put her sleeping son on her parents' bed and then sat down to speak, "Father, Mother, I've discussed it with Jin Hai. We plan to rent a house in the county."
"Rent a house?"
Cui Hua nodded, "Jin Hai will be working with Second Uncle in the future, so it's more convenient to live in the county. If he's here, I don't want to go back to the Lai family. So, we might as well rent a house here."
The Lai family was always noisy, and they often quarreled endlessly over trivial matters.
Currently, the Lai family hadn't divided their property yet, and when Jin Hai earned money, he would have to give a portion to his parents. But if they rented a house outside, they would need to pay much less back to the family.
Moreover, living outside would be more free. They could eat and drink whatever they wanted without worrying about secretly buying things for their son and fearing that others would find out.
They wouldn't need to take turns cooking either. In the early morning, the courtyard would be noisy with clanging noises from the daughter-in-law. Cui Hua and her husband didn't mind getting less sleep, but their son was so young that he was often woken up by the noise. Cui Hua felt extremely distressed about it.
She had long wanted to find an opportunity to move out. Now that Shu Yu had just become the village lord, it was a good time for her in-laws to agree with her decision. So, why not move now?
However, after Li Shi listened to her, she frowned. She thought it wasn't necessary. "Since Jin Hai is working with your Second Uncle, why don't you just stay here? Your Second Uncle's house is so big that there's enough room for a few more people. Look at this house, it's so good. Those outside houses can't compare. There are also servants here to wash clothes and cook. What's the point of you two going out to rent a house? You really don't know..."
"Mother!" Cui Hua's face darkened. She was Lu family's eldest daughter and several years older than Er Niu. Her words carried significant weight. Li Shi occasionally felt a little uneasy when facing her.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Li Shi felt inexplicably flustered and unconsciously shrank her neck. "Wh-what?"
"Mother, don't bring up this topic again in the future. This is Second Uncle's house, not Grandpa and Grandma's. Do you understand?"
More accurately, this was the house the Emperor had awarded to Shu Yu. If it were Grandpa and Grandma's house, Cui Hua, as their granddaughter, would just borrow it for convenience.
But there was no reason for her to bring her husband and son to live in her uncle's house or even her cousin's house. What would that make her?
Would she still have any dignity left? Did she still care about maintaining good family relationships?
