Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Cui just stood there without saying anything. When she saw the noise of people tearing down the house became quieter, her anger subsided a lot.

Sheng Kai and his wife Cui didn't have much furniture, just bedding and tables, chairs and benches. After everything was packed up, Sheng Kai and Shen didn't seem reluctant to be kicked out at all. Instead, they were quite excited.

Anyway, they would have enough food and drink when they went to the ranch. As for Shen, she was even happier. When she got to the ranch, she was far away from Cui, so Cui couldn't scold her anymore. She could live more comfortably. Moreover, with Xiaocao by her side to help her, she could save a lot of trouble.

"Sister Xiaolan, you don't know. Xiaocao called her over at that time, but she didn't say a word. Xiaocao and her have been very close in the past few years, but she went into the house without even looking at Xiaocao." Xiaoye said to Xiaolan.

"Then why did she leave the grass behind in the end?" Xiao Lan asked.

"Didn't she go into the house at that time? Xiaocao also went into the house in the end, then she knelt on the ground and cried and told Cui that she wanted to live with her." Xiao Ye said.

Cui originally thought that Xiaocao wanted to go with Shengkai and Shen. She thought Xiaocao wanted to go to the ranch with them to live a good life. She thought that she had raised Xiaocao for so many years, but she had never raised this little girl well and she was not close to her at all. Now seeing Xiaocao crying and telling her that she didn't want to go with Shengkai and Shen, the old lady felt sad and started crying too.

When Xiaocao saw Shen crying, she cried even harder. The crying of the two finally alarmed Xu, who came in to ask what was going on, and then Shengkai and Shen were called in.

Neither Cui nor Sheng Kai were good-tempered people, and both of them were angry, so naturally they couldn't say anything nice. In the end, Sheng Kai gave in, but he wanted money from the old lady.

When Xiao Ye came, both sides were in a stalemate over the amount of money. Xiao Lan was afraid that things would get too out of hand, so she discussed with Sheng Xuan about sending someone to take a look, and Sheng Xuan let Su Ye go.

Su Ye came back soon and said that the matter had been resolved. Sheng Kai and Shen agreed to leave Xiao Cao to Cui, but Cui had to give Sheng Kai three taels of silver every year.

Before Su Ye went, Sheng Kai asked for eight taels of silver. Su Ye went and told Sheng Kai that his family wanted Sheng Kai to maintain his dignity, so he settled the matter with only three taels of silver.

Afterwards, Cui hugged Xiaocao and cried, saying that even if she lived frugally, she would not let Xiaocao go to the ranch with Sheng Kai and his wife to suffer.

Xiao Lan didn't want to know about these things anymore. Everyone had to pay for their own choices. In the end, Xiao Cao stayed anyway, and Cui, Sheng Kai and Shen were all happy.

It was already dark, and Sheng Kai's house had been stripped, so where the couple could stay for the night became a problem. Since they were leaving soon, Xiao Cao also fulfilled her wish and stayed, so the old lady was very kind and reluctantly agreed to let the couple stay in the wing room for one night.

However, during this period, Sheng Kai still had an argument with Cui. "Don't think you are so capable now, you will suffer in the future. Now these children have been cut off by you. Do you think the eldest brother is a good person? They are not like us. They are straightforward and say whatever they want. Can you fight them? Now that you have cut off your relationship with me, don't come to me for help in the future!"

The next day, Sheng Kai took the stones taken from the old house to the ranch, and then began to lay the foundation and build the house.

During this period, Sheng Xuan also went there once, paid some wages, and took care of Sheng Kai's matter. The Sheng family's old house then became completely quiet.

After this matter was settled, Zhang discussed with Sheng Xuan about going to the provincial capital to live for a while. Firstly, Xiaowen had passed the imperial examination, and they would need to prepare a banquet and entertain the guests. On the other hand, Xiaolan was getting older, and Zhang had not been able to find a suitable candidate for her in the surrounding area.
