In the book, I was fed by my sister

Su Xiaoxiao walked all over the village and finally chose a piece of land to build a house.

The land was less than 200 meters away from Song Ran's house, so it was convenient for traveling. Standing there, she could imagine her future house standing there, and she felt happy.

Looking at the land under her feet, Su Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, it is overgrown with weeds and many stones. It must be a wasteland."

She thought to herself that such land would cost nothing and would be just enough to meet her needs.

But things went against her wishes. The land she had her eyes on turned out to belong to Li Maosheng, Damai's biological uncle.

Li Maosheng looked at Su Xiaoxiao who came to talk about something and said, "Who said it was a wasteland? We just registered it with the government last year. This is the farmland we have been reclaiming for two years."

He hated Damai so much that he even had hostility towards people who were good to Damai. Su Xiaoxiao was good to Damai, so he couldn't let Su Xiaoxiao get the land easily.

Li Wanshu came out to mediate.

He knew the actual situation of the land, so he persuaded Li Maosheng: "It has been two years since the land was reclaimed, and the stones on it have not been cleared away. When the tax exemption period expires, it is estimated that you will not be able to pay the grain tax. You might as well give it up now."

Li Maosheng said, "Okay, give me the money. She is so rich. Give me ten taels of silver and I will sell it."

Li Wanshu knew that he was making trouble. Good farmland couldn't even be bought for ten taels of silver, not to mention this wasteland where no food could be grown. He had no choice but to say to Su Xiaoxiao, "There are a lot of vacant lands in the village. Why don't you take another look?"

"Okay, then I'll take another look." Su Xiaoxiao just felt it was a bit of a pity, but she was not a sucker to spend so much money to buy a piece of wasteland.

Li Maosheng didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to agree so immediately. He thought Su Xiaoxiao would bargain and he would try to negotiate.

He made a profit from the negotiation of ten taels of silver down to one tael. However, he did not expect Su Xiaoxiao to be so decisive.

When Li Maosheng's wife Xue Hongmei saw this scene, she twisted the soft flesh around Li Maosheng's waist fiercely.

She pointed at Li Maosheng and said, "Look at what you did!" Then she turned and left.

"Wife! Wife!" Li Maosheng hurriedly chased after her and tried to hold Xue Hongmei's hand.

Xue Hongmei shook off his hand and said disappointedly, "I really don't understand why you keep thinking of those bad ideas all day long! Now it's good, go and clean up that wasteland and grow crops."

Li Maosheng pursed his lips and explained: "I am not doing this for the good of our family. I just want to make more money."

However, this sentence brought Xue Hongmei even greater anger.

She said sarcastically, "For our family? You are the master, haven't you suffered enough?"

She mentioned the division of the family, and the pain in her memory seemed to come back to her. "You think the place we lived in before was too small, so you came out to occupy the yard that mother had cleaned up. Do you think we can build a house now? We have no home! If I go back to where I lived before, I have to look at my eldest sister-in-law's eyes all day long!"

Li Maosheng stiffened his neck and said, "That yard is indeed large and close to the main road, so it is indeed convenient to enter and exit..."

Xue Hongmei said sarcastically: "Yes, then you can sleep on that pile of rocks."

Li Maosheng stepped forward and grabbed Xue Hongmei's sleeve.

Xue Hongmei shook off Li Maosheng's sleeve and said, "Don't pull me!"

The two men were pulling and arguing on the road, attracting onlookers from the village.

Li Maosheng felt embarrassed, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Okay, I was wrong. There's no need for you to be angry with me about what happened today. Let's go home first."

Xue Hongmei pushed Li Maosheng away and cursed: "What did I say before you left? Su Xiaoxiao wanted to buy land, and you sold it at the village's fair price. But you insisted on being arrogant and pretending to be a big shot. Why didn't you just go and rob her of the ten taels of silver?"

Li Maosheng was also irritated, "That's enough! Don't be so shameless."

But this sentence made Xue Hongmei even angrier.

She warned him, "How dare you bully me! I'm telling you, if you don't listen to me next time there's something going on at home, we'll get divorced!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Maosheng was stunned and his face turned pale.

The men who were watching the show were filled with fear when they heard these words.

They believed that the culprits of this nightmarish situation were Yang Bailan and Su Xiaoxiao.

It was these two women who brought the custom of "divorce by peace" to the village.

There was plenty of land in the village, and Su Xiaoxiao soon found a second site for building a house.

There was still some time before spring, so there was not much work to do in the fields. The villagers had finished repairing their own houses and had some free time.

Su Xiaoxiao hired someone to build a house, which provided them with a source of income, so everyone who was hired was very happy.

In the city, there were people watching over the affairs of the shops, and the job of supervisor fell on Song Ran.

Every night, after Su Xiaoxiao came home from the city, she would discuss with Song Ran about the next day's house building. If she needed to buy materials, she would go to the city the next day to order them and then ask someone to bring the materials back.

First, Su Xiaoxiao hired someone to tidy up the land. This job was relatively easy and it only took one day to clear all the stones and weeds on the ground.

Then, she asked someone to measure the direction of the door of the house and draw the framework of each room on the ground with lime.

The children in the village saw the squares on the ground and asked curiously: "Will this be a house in the future?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Li Zi said enviously: "I really envy you, your room is so big."

Li Rongrong corrected her, "You are wrong. The whole house and yard belong to Sister Xiaoxiao."

Li Zi watched Su Xiaoxiao concentrating on planning the room and couldn't help asking, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I heard from my mother that you and your husband broke up. I thought you would be sad. It seems that you don't need my comfort anymore."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I asked why you were sad?"

"Because if my parents separate, I will be sad."

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment before she understood what Li Zi meant. "But I don't have a baby. I won't be sad without a baby. But I won't be sad either. Look, I have such a big house. Will I be sad?"

Li Rongrong rushed to answer: "Of course not, you have the final say in the whole family. It would be great if I could have a house as big as that one day, so that my sister would not leave and we could be together forever."

Li Rongrong was in a bad mood recently. Her sister occasionally came home to stay for a short time after getting married. But this time when she came home, her sister became much more distant.

She wanted to go up and hug her sister, but was stopped.

It is said that there is a baby in my sister’s belly.

Li Rongrong didn't know when her sister started pretending to be a baby.

All I know is that after returning home this time, my sister only had lunch at home, and then hurried back with her brother-in-law, and didn't even stay at home overnight.

She was really sad and cried bitterly while holding onto Dong Mei.

Dongmei hugged her and cried too, saying that her sister was the same.

So when she heard that Sister Xiaoxiao was going to build a house, she was really envious, because if she had her own house, she could live with the person she loved.

Just like Song Li and her sister, they have always lived together.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the white frame drawn on the ground. Everything that needed to be planned was planned in, even the fire hole was made. Because she experienced the benefits of the fire hole at Song Ran's house this winter.

She sleeps alone now, and it's very cold in winter. She is also afraid to burn charcoal for warmth, and afraid that she will die alone and no one will know.

As for the issue of getting married that the children mentioned, she really hasn’t thought about it at the moment.

The husband Li Tingyan who I got for free before.

This man's appearance was acceptable, but as a scholar... Su Xiaoxiao estimated that he was a piece of fine flesh under his long gown.

Thinking of this, she no longer had the intention to continue.

It’s better to be a strong man with meat to work.

When she has money, she won't have to worry about not finding a man...

The orientation of the house and the size of the rooms have been determined.

After choosing a good day, Su Xiaoxiao decided to start building the house.

Although there is a lot of work to do, we hire people to do it.

The only trouble is that I need to be responsible for these people's lunch.

She knew that Song Ran was a great cook, but she was worried that she would be tired, so she hired two people to help.

This month, Song Ran really indulged in the desire to be a chef.
