The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 560 Drawing Lots

Whether she was standing or lying down, her waist was in unbearable pain, and it seemed that no posture could make her feel relaxed.

Yan Zi couldn't help but sigh, secretly hoping that the child would be born soon, so that she might feel a little more relieved.

Nier stretched out her fingers and placed them on her mother's wrist, feeling the beating of her pulse.

She groped carefully, and each beat was steady and powerful.

A smile gradually appeared on Nier's face. She knew that her mother's pulse was very good, which meant that both the mother and the baby in her belly were very healthy.

Nier breathed a sigh of relief and said to her mother, "Mom, you and the child are fine, everything is normal, don't worry."

Mother Yan Zi looked at her daughter with a smile, her eyes full of love and trust. She gently replied: "With you here, what else can I worry about?"

Just then, Lao San and Niu Li walked in dragging a bunch of things.

Seeing this, Nier rushed forward and wanted to help. However, her kindness was politely rejected.

"Sister, I can do it myself. I'm already grown up." Niu Li said confidently.

Nier was a little surprised, but seeing her brother's determined eyes, she nodded and said, "Well, since you said so, I won't help."

As she spoke, Nier slowly retracted her outstretched hand.

I saw Lao San and Niu Li working enthusiastically. They cooperated well and were very efficient.

When the neighbors saw this scene, they all came forward to help.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the frame of the thatched house was quickly built and its prototype took shape.

Seeing that everyone was exhausted and out of breath, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, the third brother suggested that everyone take a break first.

After all, such a big task cannot be completed in a day or two. Only by combining work and rest can the quality and efficiency of the work be guaranteed.

The neighbors nodded in agreement, and then each found a place to sit down and rest.

At this time, someone walked up to Niu Li, rubbed his head with a smile, and praised him: "You are a very capable young man, haha, really good!"

Niu Li felt a little embarrassed by the praise. His face turned red and he lowered his head. For a moment he didn't know how to respond and just chuckled twice.

At this moment, Nier came over with a few bowls of water. She said obediently, "Aunt, uncles, drink some water to quench your thirst."

Everyone took the water and drank it in big gulps. The water, with a hint of coolness, instantly dispelled the summer heat and made people feel extremely comfortable.

The people who were helping with the work drank water and chatted.

One of the neighbors looked at the third child and said with a smile: "Your two children are really outstanding, sensible and hardworking."

"Look at the two in our family. They are about the same age as them, but they just play around foolishly all day long and can't do anything else."

The third child was delighted to hear others praising his children.

I feel so blessed to have two such well-behaved and sensible children.

"Oh, don't say that. He's just a kid. What else can you let him do if he doesn't want to play? And your child looks very smart and clever. He will definitely have a bright future. Just put your mind at ease."

At the same time, on the other side, the eldest and the second son hurried to find the yamen runners to ask about building a house.

However, not long after, they came back dejectedly like deflated balls.

When the old lady saw how listless they looked, her heart skipped a beat and she immediately realized that things might not be going as smoothly as she had imagined.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly, don't keep your head down, lift it up!" the old lady urged anxiously.

The eldest brother pouted with a wronged look on his face and muttered, "The yamen runner said that the order of building houses must be decided by drawing lots. Tomorrow we will be organized to draw lots together. He said that this is fair."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

After hearing this, the old lady's brows, which had been relaxed, suddenly frowned, and she thought to herself, "Why can't my family be the first in line?"

She was obviously dissatisfied with this arrangement and felt that her family should be given priority in building a house.

"Didn't they say there were enough people to help? Why did they have to draw lots?"

Seeing that his mother was unhappy, the second son quickly explained: "The yamen runners said that we do have enough manpower, but we don't have enough materials to build the house."

"Although they will provide some materials, we also need to prepare some at home. And those things will be shipped over later, so we have to draw lots to decide the order."

When the old lady heard the words "You also need to prepare some materials for building your own house", her heart suddenly felt heavy as if it was pressed down by a huge stone.

She had originally been delighted to think about living in a big, spacious house, but now she learned that she might have to pay for the materials herself, which was a little hard for her to accept.

The old lady thought to herself that it would cost a lot of money to buy these materials!

No matter what, you must not spend money in this place.

After all, she has two sons. If they are not used, it would be a waste. She can let them make clay bricks and pull straw every day. Anyway, they have plenty of energy and it cannot be wasted.

Moreover, the eldest and second daughters-in-law do not have to cook and can go to work in the fields. This increases the labor force in the family, which not only reduces the burden but also allows the family's farmland to be better taken care of.

Thinking of this, the old lady felt a little relieved. She let out a long breath, as if a huge stone in her heart had fallen to the ground.

This arrangement is simply wonderful!

The old lady was secretly proud of herself. She thought she was a very smart person to be able to come up with such a good idea.

She must live in a big house, that's what she has always dreamed of.

Moreover, he couldn't exert any strength at all. After all, he was old and his body had just recovered.

The old lady thought to herself that since the order of building the new houses was decided by drawing lots, she wanted to be in the front row.

There is definitely no harm in moving into a new house early.

But who should she send to draw the lots? This was a dilemma for the old lady.

I don't know who has good luck recently. I have to think of a way.

Hmm... I got it! Why not put a copper coin in the dinner, and whoever gets it can go.

The old lady pondered secretly in her heart, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She slowly walked to an empty corner, looked around, and made sure that no one was noticing her, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she reached into her pocket, fumbled for a while, and finally took out a cloth bag.
