Chapter 156: Contribution Money
As expected, after dinner, while it was still light outside, Old Zhou gathered the family for a meeting to formally announce the decision to build a new house and to inform everyone that they planned to construct seven rooms this time.
There were six rooms in their current house, with three large rooms in the center; one was the hall, the sun-facing main room was where Old Zhou and his family lived, and the other side was occupied by Zhou Dalang and his family.
The east and west wings, however, had only two complete rooms in the west wing, while the east wing had only one room because the kitchen was built to the east, extending down from the house.
Old Zhou was not willing to construct the kitchen with brick and stone, so it was made with mud mixed with thatch.
This time, they planned to expand outward to the side, simply by knocking down the wall of the courtyard there.
