After helping, Aunt Zhou said to Jiang Yuwei:

"Yuwei, you guys can't cook here, why don't you go to my place for dinner tonight."

Jiang Yuwei waved her hands and said:

"We have troubled you enough, Aunt Zhou. We went to the market today and bought some food. We should have enough for dinner. You should go back and have a rest soon. You have been busy helping our family all day."

When Aunt Zhou heard Jiang Yuwei say this, she thought about it and whispered in her ear:

"Yuwei, I shouldn't have said this, but I felt really uncomfortable holding it in my heart. After you went to the market today, Chen Guixiang brought Sun to your house and climbed over the wall to look for something. I wanted to come out and stop them, but your uncle Cai insisted on not letting me get involved in your family's affairs. After all, they are your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, so I went back to the house, and when I came out again, your house was already on fire."

When Jiang Yuwei heard what Aunt Zhou said, her face suddenly turned cold. Now that they have separated, they are still afraid that she will live a good life, so they come to cause trouble again and again. It seems that she really can't let them go easily.

Aunt Zhou saw that Jiang Yuwei looked unhappy, so she waved her hands and said:

"Yuwei, I really didn't mean to not help you. You know your mother-in-law is very unruly. I'm afraid of being entangled by her."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly grabbed Aunt Zhou's hand and said with a smile:

"Aunt Zhou, what are you talking about? You have already helped us a lot. I know your difficulties. You should go back and have a rest. Thank you so much today."

When Aunt Zhou heard Jiang Yuwei say this, she nodded with relief and went back.

Jiang Yuwei pushed Ning Huaizhi into the house and smiled helplessly at the open roof:

"We are going to suffer tonight. My bamboo bed has been burned. The four of us will squeeze together on the kang. There is no quilt to cover us. It will be warmer if we sleep together. I will heat up the kang first, heat up some food, and then we will eat and go to sleep."

Ning Huaizhi looked at the house distressedly, and said to Jiang Yuwei:

"Yuwei, you've suffered a lot following me. I just feel bad that you built this house bit by bit, and now it's all gone."

Jiang Yuwei patted Ning Huaizhi on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. We are going to build a big house anyway. This time I will definitely build a big and safe house so that thieves won't be able to break in again."

Ning Huaizhi's eyes darkened when he heard Jiang Yuwei's words:

"Yuwei, are you saying that this fire was man-made?"

Jiang Yuwei smiled at Ning Huaizhi to comfort her and said:

"Don't think too much. I'll go heat the kang first."

Jiang Yuwei took the firewood, added water and started to heat the kang. Fortunately, she had stored all the willow leaf buns in the space yesterday, so she could just take them out and eat them now. She also carried the silver with her in the space, otherwise Chen Guixiang and Sun would have taken it all away when they came to search the house today.

She never thought that Chen Guixiang and Sun were bad to the core. They couldn't find anything today and even burned down the house. She would never let them go.

Jiang Yuwei quickly heated up the kang, which was now much warmer. She added a few more pieces of wood and a large pot of water to the stove, preparing to keep the kang heated all night. Otherwise, without a roof and no quilt, they would definitely be cold.

Ning Zhao and Ning Wan were still sobbing quietly. After all, they were just children and had never seen such a scene before. Moreover, their beloved home was burned down, so naturally they could not accept it.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei handed each of the two children a big bun and said with a smile:

"You two little crybabies, stop crying. We are going to build a big house tomorrow. Eat quickly. You will have strength after eating so that you can help build the house tomorrow."

Ning Zhao raised her head and looked at Jiang Yuwei with tears in her eyes and whispered:

"Mom, do we really want to build a house?"

Jiang Yuwei touched Ning Zhao's head and said with a smile:

"Of course, not only do we have to build it, we have to build a big house."

Ning Zhao burst out laughing when he heard this, and a snot bubble appeared on his nose. Jiang Yuwei saw this and quickly wiped it for him with a handkerchief. Ning Wan saw her brother laughing, so she laughed too. The two children lowered their heads to eat the big buns in their hands.

Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei's gentleness towards the two children, and a warm feeling suddenly rose in his heart. This woman was indeed amazing. She never complained even in adversity. Instead, she became the backbone of this family time and time again, and he, as a man, seemed a little redundant.

Ning Huaizhi smiled bitterly as he thought about it and started to eat the bun in his hand. He also wanted to eat more. He also wanted to help build the house tomorrow. Now that he had a wheelchair, it would be much more convenient for him to move around.

After dinner, the family of four squeezed together and slept for the night.

In the morning, Jiang Yuwei got up early and went to the space when no one was around to take out all the ingredients for the day. When she was ready, the head of the village also came with a large group of people.

Jiang Yuwei poured water for everyone first, and then said to the head of the village:

"Today, we will mainly repair the roof first, and then help me build a stove with a pot in front of the kitchen door in the yard. In the future, I plan to dig a new foundation and build a large house on each side of this small house, and then build two wing rooms directly on both sides. I plan to build a large wall around the two acres of wasteland behind to serve as a backyard, and also a large wall around the front yard. I will build large awnings on both sides of the door and in front of the house. Please help me build a pigpen and chicken coop behind the house. I'm going to trouble you all."

After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, the village head frowned and whispered:

"My eldest wife, it will cost you a lot of money to build it like this, you..."

Jiang Yuwei smiled at Li Zheng and said:

"Don't worry, Li Zheng. I have prepared all the money. Just ask everyone to help me with the work. I will not treat you badly in terms of food and wages."

After saying this, the village head Jiang Yuwei assigned tasks to everyone and asked them to start working.

Ning Huai also wanted to do some physical work but was stopped by Jiang Yuwei:

"Huaizhi, we've invited everyone to help us today. As the host, we naturally have to take good care of everyone's meals. You and Ning Zhao and Ning Wan can help me cook."

Ning Huaizhi felt that what Jiang Yuwei said made sense, so he nodded and started helping her cut vegetables.

Ning Wan was responsible for washing the vegetables, Ning Zhao was responsible for making the fire, and Jiang Yuwei was naturally responsible for cooking.

Everyone was busy talking and laughing. Chen Guixiang and Old Man Ning were about to go to work in the fields. They happened to pass by here and saw the situation in Ning Huai's courtyard. They were both shocked.

Chen Guixiang stared at the yard and muttered:

"Where did they get the money to repair the house? Why didn't I find it yesterday?"

Old Man Ning didn't know what was going on and wanted to go over to see what was going on, but Chen Guixiang pulled him back and glared at him angrily:

"Mind your own business. We have separated the family property. It is not our business to manage his family affairs. Are you not going to work in the fields?"

When Old Man Ning saw that Chen Guixiang was angry, he didn't know what to say. He just glanced towards the yard and walked away with his head hung.
