Chapter 232: Despair is given by God, hope is given by the princess
The people were immediately excited. They must have heard it right. The princess would pay for them to build a house. Their faces were filled with shock.
"Really, Princess? It really doesn't cost us a penny?"
Xia Qingqing shook her head, "Of course not."
The victims fell silent instantly, and several of them looked at Xia Qingqing, not knowing what she meant.
Xia Qingqing said mysteriously.
"You don't need to pay, but you need to contribute your labor. We can build houses one village at a time. This will be faster. What do you think?"
Xia Qingqing was teasing them on purpose. They thought she was just playing a joke on them, but they didn't expect it was actually true.
"You are too polite, Princess. We are willing to help. You are so kind, Princess. Thank you."
"thank you!!"
They all expressed their gratitude to Xia Qingqing. They didn't know how to describe their excitement. They could only say that this was the only way they could thank her.
"That's fine. Go to your own village today and check how much money and materials your house will cost. We will then find a master to help you build your house."
After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, they immediately went to find their own village.
Xia Qingqing looked for people on the street who knew how to build a house and invited them all over. Professionals have the final say in professional matters.
The victims came back after calculating the materials they needed, and Chuntao and Taohua were responsible for writing down all the materials.
Some people live in wooden houses, and some live in thatched houses, which were easily blown away by the flood.
The house was no longer there, so a new house like this had to be rebuilt. Xia Qingqing took a look at the number of people living in the house and slammed the table to make the decision.
“That’s it, even if your houses haven’t collapsed yet, we will build brick houses!!”
Xia Qingqing hopes that there will be no flood next time, but if there is a flood next time, then everyone must live in a flood-proof room.
Xia Qingqing is so wealthy, even if there are not a hundred families, there must be more than eighty of them. Moreover, brick houses are so expensive nowadays, but she actually lets them live in brick and tile houses?
Everything that happened today seemed like a dream, as if everything was so unreal.
"Thank you, Princess!! We don't know how to repay you!"
Some of them are very poor and may never be able to live in a brick house in their entire lives. They never expected that they would be able to live in a brick house after this disaster.
It was a blessing in disguise.
Shen Qingluan felt that this was okay. She had a lot of money now anyway, so what else could she do? This was the only way.
Since we have decided to build all brick houses, we have to burn bricks, which takes a long time.
While the bricks are not yet baked, take people to start construction from the nearest village and build the foundation first.
When everyone thought about having brick houses to live in in the future, everyone was full of energy and built the foundations of all the houses in the village in one day.
Since they had to rebuild it anyway, they thought of tearing it all down and rebuilding it again.
But even so, it only took one day.
After some of the bricks were fired, they transported them all over and started building the house.
This group of people chatted and laughed while they worked. A dozen or twenty people built a room. The efficiency was very good. A village could be completed in about 7 days.
It was just a rough outline of a house, but there was no furniture inside yet. Xia Qingqing planned to hide it from them, but had actually customized some furniture for them.
They are all similar. Although not very expensive, they are practical for them.
It took them three months to finish building the house, from summer to winter, and before they knew it, they had already been here for half a year.
Xia Xuan suddenly felt that time passed so quickly. The Chinese New Year would be here in a month.
Everyone’s houses have been built, and they feel very satisfied when they see how beautiful the houses are.
Some people have furniture at home that is still serviceable, so they continue to use it, which is always better than having nothing.
At this time, Xia Qingqing called them over and spoke to them.
"I know the house is now built, but some of you have nothing inside, so I thought it would be a good thing to wait, and I have already customized the furniture for you.
Although they are not very expensive items, they are all very practical. I will ask someone to move these furniture to your house later, or you can move them yourself if you can’t wait.”
When Xia Qingqing spoke, everyone present seemed to be frozen in place. It was already very good that the princess had built a house for them, and they did not dare to ask for anything more.
But they didn't expect that the princess also customized furniture for them. Some girls were so moved that they cried.
From the time the disaster struck, to their escape, to the time they met kind-hearted people who gave them porridge, to the time they worked with the emperor to build a river channel, they had food to eat every day.
When they saw their home once again washed away and everything gone, they had no time to feel sad.
The princess informed them that a brick house would be built for them. They might work hard all their lives but still never be able to live in a brick house. What a good thing it was that they finally had such a good thing happen to them.
I originally thought that it would be nice to have a brick and tile house, and I could make do with the furniture and other things. It would not be impossible to build one myself when I made some money.
But now the princess told them that everything had been prepared for them long ago, and it had been prepared for them when the house was built for them.
How can this not move people? During this period of time, they experienced despair and hope. The despair was given by God, and the hope was given by the princess.
They didn't know how to repay the princess.
"Thank you, Princess. Thank you so much."
"Princess, you are such a kind person. Thank you, Princess. Thank you!!"
They were all sincerely grateful, and Xia Qingqing could feel it.
"Okay, stop saying these cheesy things and quickly distribute them. Or you can help move them one by one, and it will be faster this way."
They all chose to move one house at a time. With more people there is more strength, and they finished moving all the furniture in a short time.
They looked at this brand new home and felt like it was a new beginning in their life.
The victims have now been almost settled, and the rest of the matter can only be left to them on their own.
The New Year is coming soon, and the county is starting to become lively. Since the floods have subsided, many people have returned.
