Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 50

Sun Dagou’s Ability
Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “I want to ask you if you have some unused wooden buckets that you can sell to me.”

Chi Xinru thought for a while and said, “Xin Xin, I’m sorry, we don’t have any extra wooden buckets. By the way, why do you need a wooden bucket?”

Duan Yixin replied, “I want to grow some vegetables, but I don’t have land, so I plan to plant them in wooden buckets.”

Chi Xinru heard this and said, “If you are in a hurry, you can buy it from Uncle Sun.”

Duan Yixin asked, “Uncle Sun? Does he have any spare wooden buckets?”

Chi Xinru smiled and said, “Uncle Sun is the only carpenter in our village. In addition to doing the bullock cart business, he also makes wooden furniture and farm tools to make a living.”

After listening to her explanation, Duan Yixin said, “Xinru, can you accompany me to Uncle Sun’s house? I don’t know where his home is.”

Chi Xinru nodded and said, “Sure. Wait for me for a minute. I need to tell my mother that we will go visit Uncle Sun’s house first.”

After saying that, she walked into the house and came back after a while. With a smile on her face, Chi Xinru said, “Let’s go. We have to be back before dinner.”

On the way to Sun Dagou’s house, Chi Xinru said, “Xin Xin, I remember that when your grandparents separated the family, they left you two acres of farmland.”

Duan Yixin was shocked when she heard this, “Really?”

Chi Xinru nodded, “Um. Maybe you forgot about it because you lost your memory, but I’m sure your uncles must have taken this land as their own.”

Duan Yixin heard this and said, “Since they have claimed the farmland, I don’t think I can get it back.”

Chi Xinru thought for a while and said, “Actually, you can, but it’s troublesome. You need to report it to the Yamen. This may cost you a lot of time and money.”

Thinking of the trouble, Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “It’s too troublesome.”

While the two of them were talking, they arrived at Sun Dagou’s house. Knocking on the door, Chi Xinru said, “Uncle Sun, are you at home?”

Soon, a young woman in her twenties came out of the house. When she saw Chi Xinru and Duan Yixin, a surprised smile appeared on her face.

“Ru Niang, Xin Niang, what a surprise. Please come in.” She said as she opened the door for them.

As they walked in, she asked, “You two rarely come to our place. Do you need something?”

Chi Xinru smiled and said, “Sister-in-law Sun, we want to buy some wooden buckets. Do you have any at home?”

Sister-in-law Sun nodded, smiled, and said, “Of course. My father-in-law and my husband just finished a batch of wooden buckets this morning. Please follow me so you can choose for yourself.”

Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru nodded and followed her to a small warehouse next to the house. Sister-in-law Sun opened the door and said, “You two choose first, and I will inform my father-in-law.”

“Thank you, Sister-in-law Sun.” Chi Xinru thanked her and walked into the warehouse with Duan Yixin.

Looking at the neatly stacked goods in the warehouse, Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “I didn’t expect Uncle Sun to have this kind of ability. Judging from the quality of these goods, he may have enough skills to build a house.”

Chi Xinru picked up a wooden bucket and said, “Uncle Sun used to work in the county town. He came back after his son got married and has been living in Yunshan Village since then. Maybe he can actually build a house like you said.”

While waiting for Sun Dagou, Duan Yixin browsed the goods and selected more than twenty wooden buckets. When Sun Dagou walked in, he smiled at them and asked, “Have you chosen what you want?”

Duan Yixin nodded, pointed to the wooden buckets she selected, and asked, “Uncle Sun, how much do these wooden barrels cost?”

Sun Dagou counted for a moment and said, “A wooden bucket is worth three copper coins. You want twenty of them, so the total is sixty copper coins.”

Duan Yixin took out a small purse from her sleeve pocket, counted the copper coins, and paid for the wooden buckets. Sun Dagou took the money and said, “Since you bought a lot at once, I will help you deliver it to your home.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin felt happy, “Thank you, Uncle Sun.”

“You bought a lot at once, so you won’t be able to move them by yourself.” Sun Dagou said with a smile.

After the transaction was completed, Duan Yixin thought for a moment and asked, “Uncle Sun, can you build a wooden house?”

Hearing this, Sun Dagou looked at her and asked, “Do you want to rebuild your house?”

Duan Yixin nodded, “Yes. I wonder if Uncle Sun can help me.”

Sun Dagou touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, “I can build a wooden house, but the fee is more expensive than building a mud house or a brick house. The advantage is that the wood can be harvested from the mountains, so the cost should be lower than building a mud or brick house.”

Seeing that Duan Yixin was frowning, Sun Dagou said, “Why don’t you take a look at the design drawings first and then decide if you want to build a wooden house or not?”

Duan Yixin thought about his suggestion, nodded, and said, “Then I will listen to Uncle Sun.”

Sun Dagou smiled and said, “Please come with me.”

Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru followed him back to his home. Entering the house, Sun Dagou looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Daughter-in-law, go call your husband.”

Sister-in-law Sun put down the clothes she was mending and said, “Yes, Father.”

Sun Dagou motioned Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru to take a seat and said, “I will get the design drawings first.”
