Old Master Ruan looked directly at Ruan Qingqing with his weathered eyes. "Your aunt wanted to use your family's land, but she didn't tell you before?"

"I am preparing to build houses on both sides at the same time. My eldest aunt asked my eldest uncle to plan where to build what on the foundation and what to do with the fenced-off area. She spoke very seriously. I waited for her to finish talking before asking her, this foundation is mine, right? Did she get my consent to build a house here?

She started to blame me for not opening the door for me three months ago, and said there wasn't much space for me and my ten servants to live in, and a yard would be enough.

I explained to her that this foundation was built by me and my father carrying stones from Qianlong River, and the land nearby was also bought by us with money, so it belongs to us. Shouldn't she ask me before using it? Besides, my parents are just temporarily fleeing, not never coming back. If I give up this foundation, where will they live when they come back?"

Old Master Ruan looked around and sighed, "Will your father and the others come back? This place is so remote."

Ruan Qingqing's face immediately turned cold when she heard this. "Grandpa, why did I stay before the plague came? Wasn't it because my father was worried about you, grandma and several uncles and aunts and wanted to stay, so I exchanged with him? So as long as you are here, my father will definitely come back. If my father comes back, my mother and my brothers and sisters will naturally come back with him.

Even when it was so difficult and dangerous, my father was determined to stay. Now there are just not many people living nearby, he will definitely find his way back!"

Old Master Ruan looked at Ruan Qingqing, who had a determined look on her face, and was silent for a long time.

Thinking of the son who made him both disappointed and proud, his eyes gradually became moist.

"Your father...is a good one!"

His voice was very soft in the autumn wind, but Ruan Qingqing still heard it.

"If my father heard this praise from my grandfather, he would be so happy that he would cry." She smiled, "Before, when others praised him in front of you, as long as you didn't object, my father would be happy for a long time."

After taking a deep breath, Mr. Ruan said to Ruan Qingqing, "I'll take care of your aunt's problem. Just make sure they finish building the yard. If you need help, just come to the old house and call us."

"Thank you sir!"

Old Master Ruan glanced at her, and a rare smile appeared on his wrinkled face. "No, it's me who should thank you!"

Before Ruan Qingqing could understand what he meant, Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan left with Ruan Wanyu and a group of people.

The construction of the house went smoothly, and more than a dozen young and strong uncles from the village came to help her. So Ruan Qingqing's two yards were ready to be built in less than ten days.

"Hey, you naughty boy, what are you trying to throw at the beams?"

Ruan Qingqing was preparing the fruits and snacks to be scattered when she put up the beams when she was suddenly interrupted by the scream. She wiped her hands and walked out of the house to see what was going on.

But Wang Fang's hands were tightly restraining a child. Liu Yi and others were also standing by with their chests heaving with anger.

"Aunt Wang, what happened?"

When Ruan Qingqing walked closer, she found that the child caught by Aunt Wang was Yuanbao, the youngest son of her eldest aunt.

Wang Fang gnashed her teeth and said with fear: "Miss, this naughty boy wanted to throw filth onto the beams, luckily I stopped him in time. If he really succeeded, what would happen?"

Only then did Ruan Qingqing notice the ball of something that had rolled down at Aunt Wang's feet. It was blindingly red.

"This is..." She was a little confused for a moment.

"It's a menstrual belt for women."

Instead of properly handling the bloody menstrual belt, she threw it onto the beams that were about to rise to the roof of her house. This...

Ruan Qingqing couldn't help but vomit when she thought of this.

"Miss, you are too young to know that the beams on the roof are very particular. They represent the fortune of the family and cannot be stained with blood, let alone women's filth. This is to make your family..."

Wang Fang was very angry at hearing these seven words "bad luck and the whole family will be wiped out", but she couldn't say them on such a great day for the beam raising ceremony.

Ruan Qingqing didn't know what the sinister intention behind throwing the menstrual belt on the beam was, but she was disgusted by the fact itself. If someone said that Yuanbao had no one behind it, she would never believe it. For example, how could a child like Yuanbao get hold of the bloody menstrual belt?

"Yuanbao, who told you to throw that thing onto the beams of my house?"

"What's it to you? You vicious, money-losing bastard, if you don't allow my family to build a house here, I won't let you have an easy life!"

The seven-year-old boy had a ferocious expression on his face.

Even without being told, Ruan Qingqing could guess that this was closely related to Ruan Wanyu.

She was curious. The menstrual belt for women was here. It was considered a very unlucky thing. Why did Ruan Wanyu let her own precious son touch it? How twisted and dark was her heart? She was even willing to hurt herself to seriously hurt her family.

Judging from Aunt Wang's behavior, it is not difficult to guess that this behavior is considered a very vicious curse in the countryside. She just didn't let them build a house on their own foundation, and it hasn't risen to the level of hatred that requires bloodshed! Not letting them take advantage makes you wish that other people's families will die? What kind of weird brain circuit is this?

But no matter what weird train of thought it was, Ruan Qingqing didn't want to endure it.

"Uncle Liu, please go and invite my grandfather, my eldest aunt, and my eldest uncle's father over!"

"Yes, Miss!"

After hearing the instructions, Liu Yi ran towards the old house like a gust of wind.

The people who came to help also stopped what they were doing and gathered around to ask about the situation.

Soon, Mr. Ruan, Mrs. Ruan and the four brothers Ruan Wanjin appeared together.

"Qingqing, Yuanbao wants to throw unlucky things onto the beams of your house?" Old Master Ruan asked while running and panting.

"Well, fortunately Aunt Wang stopped it."

"If you don't believe me, old man, there's some dirt on my clothes!" Wang Fang pushed Yuanbao aside, revealing a blood stain on the abdomen of her shirt.

Yuanbao tried to escape but was caught by Ruan Wanjin.

"Yuanbao, why do you do such a despicable thing?" Old Master Ruan immediately kicked Yuanbao.

"Dad, why did you hit my Yuanbao?" Ruan Wanyu, who came from behind, screamed shrilly, ran towards Yuanbao and pulled up Yuanbao who was kicked to the ground.

Old Master Ruan used all his strength and slapped Ruan Wanyu in the face.

"How could I, Ruan Daqing, give birth to such a mean daughter like you? You ordered the child to throw filth onto the beams of your fourth brother's house. What do you want? Curse his whole family? Your fourth brother and his family are still fleeing outside. You have been eating and living for free for a few days, but you don't appreciate their kindness and have evil intentions?"

Old Lady Ruan was also wiping tears at the side, "You beast, you beast! If Yuan Bao really succeeds, not only will you want your fourth brother's family to be tainted with bad luck, you also want them to be extinct! That's your dear fourth brother's family! How could you have the heart to do that to them?

Although your fourth brother was a bit of a jerk and a gambler before, he was really good to you and Zhu'er since you were young. He always carried you wherever he went. You just don't remember the childhood friendship. When you were fleeing from the plague, did your whole family eat, drink and live in your fourth brother's house? How can you be so cruel and heartless?"
