First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

"Thank you for your hard work. My home is poor, please don't mind."

When the foreman saw a large pot of pork belly stewed with cabbage on the table with a layer of oil floating on it, his face beamed with joy.

He had helped many families build houses, but not many people were willing to give them meat, let alone so much pork belly.

"Miss Ye, you are too polite. This food looks delicious."

Yu Xiuying put the bamboo basket full of big white steamed buns on the table and said, "Please don't be disgusted, everyone. Eat and drink well."

Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the big steamed buns that were just out of the pot and still steaming.

Yu Xiuying quickly invited everyone to eat. Everyone didn't hesitate to pick up the white flour buns and stuffed them into their mouths. One bite of the hot and soft bun, followed by a bite of the cabbage stewed with pork belly, was so delicious.

"Oh, it's delicious. Aunt Yu, your cooking skills are really good."

“Yeah, this is delicious too.”

Yu Xiuying smiled embarrassedly: "This dish is not made by me, it is made by my daughter."

"Really? Oh, Miss Ye's craftsmanship is so good." The foreman looked at Ye Shian in surprise.

Ye Shian felt a little embarrassed. There were seven or eight grown men at the table, and there was only one dish. They did such heavy work, but she just made a dish, and they even praised her.

"As long as you don't mind."

But in fact, when they help people build houses, they don’t provide meals. Most of them bring their own food from home just to earn a few more cents a day.

Everyone's mouths were drooling over the meal, and even the vegetable juice was soaked up by the steamed buns.

Each man could eat five or six steamed buns, which were bigger than his face. Yu Xiuying knew that all the hard laborers could eat them, so she prepared extra steamed buns, but in the end, there was still not enough.

After dinner, the foreman was about to ask everyone to start working, and Ye Shian spoke first.

"The sun is scorching right now, and you just finished your meal, so take a rest first."

Everyone was very grateful for her words. Since the owner had spoken, the foreman certainly had no objection. He waved his hand at everyone and said, "Then let's take a break."

On the other side, the workers of Wang Qiang's family finally waited until it was time to eat, and Wang Xuening and her mother came late with food.

Each person gets two vegetable pancakes, some pickles, and a portion of stir-fried vegetables.

Before, they were full of fantasies about today's meal when they smelled the aroma of meat coming from Ye Shian's house, but when they saw the food, disappointment appeared on everyone's faces.

Wang Xuening took in everyone's expressions. She slowly stood up and saluted everyone.

"Everyone, our family fled all the way from the south to here. Needless to say, we have gone through a lot of hardships along the way. Now we have spent all our wealth to build this courtyard. Please forgive us for any inadequacies in taking good care of you. Our Wang family will remember your help today and will definitely repay you when we have the chance in the future."

Wang Xuening was a pretty girl next door. She spoke slowly and calmly, and immediately won everyone's favor.

Those who were originally disappointed to eat this kind of food now smiled generously.

"Miss Wang, your words are too polite. People in our village usually eat these simple meals."

"Yes, this cake tastes delicious to me."

"Yes, and besides, twenty cents a day with food included is already very good."

Wang Qiang's face, which had been stern, gradually softened after his daughter said those words. Wang Qiang's daughter is really amazing.

On the other side, Liu and Sihai walked home, cursing: "These two women are really worthless. We worked hard for a whole afternoon, but they didn't even give us a sip of water to drink before they drove us away. Bah!"

When Sun saw that Liu was turned away, she hurried out of the house.

"Hey, what happened to Liu?"

When Liu saw that it was Sun, she immediately opened up: "Oh, how come there is such a family? Sun, your family lives so close to such a family, how miserable it must be. My mother and I have been busy here for the whole morning, and it's time to eat, but they kicked us out. Do you think there are people who do things like them?"

Speaking of the faults of Ye Shian's family, Sun immediately opened up.

"Humph, they are nothing. They even bully children. Think about what else they can't do."

"What, they are such a worthless person?"

The two gossipers were busy spreading rumors to destroy the reputation of Ye Shian and his daughter under the scorching sun, without even eating.

In the afternoon, Yinzhu and Zhu Li came back from the county. They bought a cart of vegetables as Ye Shian had suggested.

The workers also remembered Ye Shian and his friends' kindness and worked harder.

After dinner in the evening, Ye Shian came to discuss with Yu Xiuying: "Mom, I want to find a few villagers to help with cooking."

Yu Xiuying was coaxing Ziyuan to play: "Why do we need someone else to do it? Mother and Zhenniang can do it alone."

Ye Shian walked to the bed and sat down, stretching his hand to Yu Xiuying's waist to help her massage. It was very tiring to steam buns for more than 20 people by himself. "Mom, I discussed it with the foreman today. He said he would help find some more people and build our house as soon as possible."

"He said that our project is too big and it would take at least a month even if we hired someone."

Yu Xiuying was surprised: "Why does it take so long?"

Ye Shian nodded.

Yu Xiuying then understood: "Yes, you want to bring river water to your home, and you also want to dig a biogas pool. Such a big pool will waste manpower."

"It's a bit troublesome now, but it will be convenient for us to live in it after it's completed."

"You know a lot, and I listen to you."

Yu Xiuying moved her body slightly to allow Ye Shian's fist to hit the place where she felt uncomfortable.

Then he added, "Tomorrow I will ask Zhenniang to find a few skilled women in the village."

Since someone is cooking, Ye Shian no longer has to play the role of a cook. Her main concern now is how to make money.

The capital of Dayuan State is Anjing.

Yongkang Marquis Mansion.

The cicadas chirped tirelessly, making the wife of Marquis Yongkang even more annoyed.

"The cicadas keep chirping, which is really annoying."

"The servants are doing it." Nanny Li was fanning herself gently.

"How did that go?"

"There is news that we have found out about Old Lady Ye, but she ran away and the people under her are chasing her."

Madam Yongkang sneered: "Humph, run, I'll see where they can run to."

After taking a sip of Benzhen’s sour plum soup, she asked again, “Have you found Yu Xiuying and the two children?”

"I've been asking around, but I haven't heard of any place that would take in a woman with two children."

"It would have been very difficult for her to survive on the road, as she was a woman with two children and a baby. She must have died on the way. Well, there's no need to look for her anymore."

"What if the prince asks?"

"Just say he died on the road. Oh, and build a cenotaph for the three of them, to complete their love."

"Yes."
