Jiang Yuwei hurried back to the house to check on Ning Zhao after receiving the separation letter. At this moment, Ning Zhao was curled up in pain, lying on the kang, his face as pale as paper, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Ning Wan, who was standing by, saw that her brother was so badly injured, so she just stood by Ning Zhao silently, holding Ning Zhao's hand and wiping her tears.

Jiang Yuwei looked at the scene in front of her, and her nose was sore. She stepped forward and touched Ning Wan's head and said softly:

"Wan'er, be good. Brother is fine. Go to bed first. Mom will go to see our new house tomorrow. You stay at home and take care of brother and your father, okay?"

Ning Wan nodded obediently at Jiang Yuwei with tears in her eyes, then looked at Ning Zhao reluctantly before lying down on the kang to sleep.

Ning Huaizhi said to Jiang Yuwei in a hoarse voice:

"Yuwei, it's all my fault. I'm a burden to you all. I..."

Jiang Yuwei wiped Ning Zhao's body with a handkerchief soaked in spiritual spring water, and whispered:

"Stop talking. I am satisfied with the separation letter. We will have to rely on ourselves in the future. You are the father of two children. I will not give up on you. I also don't want to see you, a grown man, complaining all day long. You need to get well soon. You go to sleep first. I will watch over Ning Zhao for a while."

When Ning Huaizhi heard Jiang Yuwei say this, he didn't know what to say. He just silently remembered her kindness in his heart.

Jiang Yuwei stayed up until midnight, constantly wiping Ning Zhao's body with spiritual spring water. Seeing that Ning Zhao did not have a fever, she felt relieved. She fed him some spiritual spring water, and seeing that he was no longer curled up in pain, she went to sleep peacefully.

next morning

As soon as Jiang Yuwei opened her eyes, she simply tidied up and changed the medicine for Ning Zhao, helped Ning Huaizhi go to the toilet, served them breakfast, and then went to find the head of the village to take her to see the small house at the east end of the village. The head of the village called his wife and daughter to come with some cleaning tools.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the house at the foot of the mountain in the east of the village. Behind the house were two acres of wasteland. Looking at the land in front of her, Jiang Yuwei finally understood why Chen Guixiang agreed to give her these two acres of land so readily. It turned out that Chen Guixiang was willing to give it to her because the land was far from the village and had been abandoned for many years, making it difficult to reclaim.

The village head looked at the land and shook his head helplessly.

Aunt Ning, the wife of the village head, said indignantly:

"Mrs. Chen is trying to kill your eldest family. You are a woman and they gave you such barren land. The spring planting is almost over and you have to start over. How can you farm it all by yourself?"

Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. It's already great that we can escape from that man-eating devil's den."

The village head could only sigh helplessly:

"Today, let your Aunt Ning and Ning Qiu help you clean up the house simply so that you have a place to sleep. You can live here first. If you want to build a wall in a few days, come to me and I will assign someone to help you do it. The roof also needs to be repaired."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:

"Thank you, head of the village. I'm shamelessly bothering Aunt Ning and Sister Ning Qiu today. Let's clean up first. I'll save some money to renovate the house. Now there's only one small room, and it's a bit crowded. We can only make do with it for now."

The village head waved his hand and said:

"No need to thank me. You are a woman now and have to take care of the whole family. It is naturally difficult. We villagers will help you in any way we can."

With that, the headman went back to the village to take care of his own business. Aunt Ning and Ning Qiu were not idle either and started to help clean the dust and spider webs on the wall and the kang. Jiang Yuwei went to the pond next to the field to fetch some water for sweeping. The three of them were busy for a whole day before they simply cleaned up.

Jiang Yuwei smiled at Aunt Ning embarrassedly:

"Now, the house has just been cleaned up, and we can't cook yet. I can't invite you two to dinner. When I'm done with my work, I'll come to your house to thank you."

Aunt Ning smiled brightly and said:

"We are both women, and we know how difficult it is for you. You don't have to do this. Now that you have married into Ningjia Village, we will inevitably visit each other frequently in the future. There is no need to rush."

Jiang Yuwei was very grateful that Aunt Ning and her family, though strangers, could take such good care of her. Now, in comparison, it seemed that the Ning family was even more heartless.

Ning Qiu looked back at the small house and still felt that it was a bit difficult to live in, so he said:

"Sister Jiang, look at this house, there's not even a stove. How are you going to cook when you move in? Why don't you ask my dad to find someone to help you build a stove tomorrow?"

Jiang Yuwei waved her hand quickly and said:

"My family's affairs have troubled the villagers enough. I can do these small things by myself. I will go find some suitable materials and build the stove tomorrow. Aunt Ning, you can go back first."

After seeing Aunt Ning off, Jiang Yuwei looked at the small, shabby house in front of her. Although it was dilapidated, it was her own house after all, and she wouldn't have to live under someone else's roof in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei became very motivated. She went to the wasteland behind and dug a lot of soil, found a lot of dead grass, and found some square stones.

All these things were moved to the front of the house. There was originally a small stove in the house, but it had collapsed due to being unused for a long time. The stove was connected to the kang, so the house could be warmer when the kang was lit on weekdays.

Jiang Yuwei first smashed the remaining stove and cleaned it out, then used water and yellow mud mixed with dry straw to patch up the cracks and collapsed areas on the kang, and only then did she return to the Ning family with peace of mind.

As soon as Jiang Yuwei entered the room, she saw Sun twisting Ning Wan's ear and screaming:

"You slut, you are so bold that you dare to steal eggs. I will beat you to death. You are as annoying as your unlucky mother who just came in."

Jiang Yuwei saw Ning Wan being dragged out of the kitchen by Sun's ears, and she rushed forward to pull Sun away, hugged Ning Wan in her arms, glared at Sun and said angrily:

"You want to torture such a young child? Do you have any humanity left?"

Sun snorted nonchalantly and said:

"Hmph, you better understand. We have already separated, so why are your family still refusing to leave? Your daughter is so bad that she even dared to come to the kitchen and steal things."

Ning Wan tugged at Jiang Yuwei's clothes, her face flushed, she quickly shook her head and whispered:

"Mom...don't steal. Brother...I'm hungry."

Jiang Yuwei was surprised and delighted to see Ning Wan actually speak. She didn't care about Sun who was shouting beside her. She carried Ning Wan into the house. When she saw Ning Huaizhi, she shouted happily:

"She just called me mom. Wan'er started talking. Our Wan'er is not dumb. She can speak!"

Ning Huaizhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jiang Yuwei's happy face. This was the first time he saw Jiang Yuwei laugh so happily. Naturally, he was also moved by her and said:

"Wan'er is very well behaved. Thank you, Yuwei."

Jiang Yuwei put Wan'er down, then looked at Ning Zhao who was still lying there and said with a smile:

"No need to thank me. Is Zhao'er feeling better?"

Ning Zhao also opened his eyes at this time, smiled weakly at Jiang Yuwei and said:

"Mom, I'm much better now. You don't have to worry about me."

Jiang Yuwei first fed Ning Zhao spiritual spring water, then wiped his body and changed the medicine for him, and then took out the cherry tomatoes and roasted corn from the backpack. She had already expected that the Ning family had already separated and would not leave any food for the eldest wife.

It just so happened that the vegetable seeds and corn seeds she had bought at the market had borne fruit. Jiang Yuwei also discovered that the grains that usually took several seasons to harvest could bear fruit after a few days of irrigation with spiritual spring water on the fertile fields in the space. This could just solve her family's urgent needs.

Ning Huaizhi looked at the roasted corn in Jiang Yuwei's hand and murmured:

"Where can I get corn in this season, Yuwei..."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei waved her hands impatiently and said:

"Just eat, I won't harm you."

Then he said to Ning Zhao and Ning Wan:

"You must not tell outsiders what we eat at home, understand?"

The two children didn't ask why, but just nodded obediently. They only knew that their mother would not harm them or let them starve.
