The next day, Tang Zhinian withdrew the ten thousand yuan he had saved up in the bank. Though it was meant for building a house, and he was reluctant to spend it, because such a substantial amount of money, once spent, would cause a real sting in his heart, he knew that money earned is meant to be spent.
A trusted connection in the village pointed him toward some construction tools. From laying the foundation to raising the walls, everything was taken care of, saving the Tang family – which wasn't large to begin with – some trouble. Even though spending a little more to delegate the cooking duties may not be ideal, the outcome is favorable in a way – the Tang family had no women, only a little girl named Tang Yuxin, who was still in primary school, and the two big men couldn't possibly be expected to cook. All things taken care of, there was no need to worry anymore.
As the construction of the house was underway, it was time to broach the subject of marriage.
