Building a single-story bungalow for only 150,000 yuan, my wife is unhappy and my parents don't support it

After years of toiling away from home, I just bought an apartment in the city a few years ago and settled down, thinking of saving money to buy a second home. Then my parents called to say that one wall of the old house back home had collapsed, so now I have no choice but to go back to the rural hometown to build a house. I don't plan to spend too much money building in the countryside just to watch it rot, and only intend to spend around 200,000 yuan to build a single-story bungalow for my parents. But who knew my wife would be unhappy about it, saying there's no need to spend the money and we could just bring my parents to the city to live, and have them look after the kids while they're at it. But my parents don't want to come, and besides, all the neighbors have two- or three-story little villas, so building only one story makes the old couple feel like they'd lose face, especially my stubborn father, who has never liked bowing his head to anyone his whole life

I bought the design drawings online. Since I'm only building one story, it has to have some character

Since it's only one story, the foundation is a bit large, around 170 sq m. The contractor I found charges 220 per sq m for labor only, not materials, but I have to provide one meal and a pack of cigarettes every day

The first-floor slab is reinforced with double-layer bidirectional rebar, and the plumber and electrician pre-embedded the water and electrical conduits. Although it's only one story, the floor slab is also cast in place to prevent leaks. I hired the village's professional cast-in-place construction team, and the labor cost for casting the 170 sq m floor slab in place came to 2,000
