Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

421 Broken Bones

Liu Guixia, Xue Dafu, and the others were naturally overjoyed.

“Mother, please store it somewhere safe.” Xue Erfu also got off the ox cart and stuffed a black cloth bag into Liu Guixia’s hands when no one was paying attention.

Liu Guixia immediately turned around and left.

The drivers of the hired four ox carts would not help to send the things to the workshop. Moreover, the road up the mountain was not easy to walk on. There were also fields that the ox cart could not cross. Therefore, the things were unloaded at the entrance of the courtyard. Then, the family would find a way to get them up the mountain one by one and put them in the workshop.

It wasn’t easy to place the large wooden boxes in the workshop. The road wasn’t easy to walk on, and there wasn’t enough space at home so it had to be moved as soon as possible. Just as Xue Dafu and the others decided to pull out all the firewood from the shed in the courtyard to put these things away, Xue Dagui happened to pass by their house on his way home after seeing Xue Da.

“Hey, Dafu!” Xue Dagui chuckled and came over. “Looks like your house can’t keep all these things, even Darong’s too. They don’t have any empty rooms, so why can’t you just leave it with me? Why should you send it to the workshop? The road is so difficult to walk on, and it’s not as close as my house. I’m the only one at home now. My boy has gone to town, so there are two empty rooms in the house. You can put the things in the central room, in the corridor, in my room, in the kitchen and in the fireplace as long as there is space. As long as I have a place to sleep and eat, I should be fine. You know that I’ve always been very casual with these things. I don’t clean the place anyway. If you put things in there, you can help me clean the house while you’re at it.”

“You really mean it.” Xue Dafu said. He had too many things in his house, so he couldn’t just leave all the things in his brother’s house only for his brother to sleep and eat at one corner. “Are you really willing to?”

“What are you saying? I’m your brother. Even if my bones are broken, my tendons are still connected. Put them all at my place if you can clean up the shed. Do you want me to help you move it?” Xue Dagui was salivating at the thought of the help. “But I’ll make it clear that I won’t carry the heavy things. You know that I’ve always been lazy, so I don’t have much strength.”

As he spoke, he hugged a small blanket.

Xue Dafu rolled his eyes at his younger brother before turning to Xue Erfu and the rest. “Alright, alright, let’s move the things to Xue Dagui’s house.”

Xue Wufu was a little worried and said with a guarded expression, “You’re not going to take the opportunity to cheat on us again, are you?”

“Do I look like that kind of person anymore?” Xue Dagui immediately said. Then, he said with a drooling face, “Hehe, don’t reply. I really do have something to ask in return though. I’m just afraid of being misunderstood…” He quickly picked up where he left off, “But don’t worry, I’m not asking to rely on your family. I’ve changed. Besides, I have quite a lot of money now, so I won’t do that again.”

“Then what are you planning to ask?” Xue Erfu asked. In the past, he would not have spoken to Xue Dagui so calmly. However, ever since that incident, Xue Dagui had changed a lot. His relationship with the family had actually improved after that.

“That’s right!” Xue Dagui chuckled. “Your family must be very busy right now, and you might need to hire someone to help you. Why don’t you hire me?”

Xue Erfu was surprised with the offer. Xue Dagui was very smart to point that out… He hadn’t even told his family about hiring people, but Dagui had already guessed that they would be looking for people to hire

Xue Dagui was still chuckling as he said, “I can’t plant crops well. There’s not much harvest for a year, and I don’t have much strength either. I can’t do important things, but I can do trivial things. You don’t have to pay fifteen coins a day like what you did to Qingshu and the others. Just ten coins a day will do. As long as you don’t make me do important things, it’s fine. It’s best if I can help you with the stall. I can help you serve the bowls and such.”
